May 15, 2013 Public Minutes Motion to approve by Mr. Truglio, second by Mrs. Garafola Roll Call: Mr. Truglio, yes Mr. Checchio, yes, Mr. Reeder ,yes.

Plant Report- Peter Kavalus Applied Water Management May report had a weekly max violation of Ammonia and was called into the DEP hotline, additional samples were taken and Pete does not feel this will be a NOV Recent samples show we are within limits. Mrs. Garafola asked if JCP & L is notified of power outages. Pete said they are called in and made aware. Stage V had recent grounding problems, the other plants were checked and it was found that there are problems with grounding at Stage IV. Debbie said that she has the proposal of 24K and asked about AWM handling this in the same manner as Stage V. At Stage IV an aerator bearing needs to be replaced and that proposal was submitted. All Plants have not experienced any overflows with the amount of rain. Safety issues discussed in the April meeting have all been addressed. Routine preventive maintenance and housekeeping were performed at all plants.

Engineer 's Report- James Wancho PE - PS & S A full report is included in the member's packets. Cost information for the bond resolution is being prepared. A spreadsheet was distributed. There is money remaining in the 2006 bond for the Phosphorous upgrades. Design needs to be completed. Mr. Reeder asked about the state status in determining levels. Stage I/1I the draft permit has been issued with limits, there are comments on this, regarding the summer and winter limits. We have a five year time period from draft to final. Once issued we have five years to come into compliance. Other options we are looking into for the Phosphorous limits such as Mr. Goodsell explained is the trading program that was developed by Rutgers. Mr. Goodsell and Mr. Wancho further explained the concept of the trading program. The UV system is old and end of useful life at Stage IV which is slated for upgrade on the estimate for a new bond. Mr. Wancho discussed the Mount Horeb Road sewer extension proposal. Easel board displayed. This would pick up dry lines in Geiger, Tiffany, Miller and Tall Oaks. The

County was advised of the plans because they anticipate repaving the road. American Properties will geoprobe the road to estimate the extent of rock. Once all these investigations are made, a cost estimate and scope of the work can be made. The road must be raised in the area of the culvert, easements might be required. Krausche Road area has also been investigated. The possibility of a new pump station to be designed at the end of Krausche Road is being explored. PS & S has looked at the topography in that area and had done some profiles regarding the feasibility of a gravity sewer. However the velocity in the line is very high and the area very steep so this is not a feasible option. There would be 24 homes that could be serviced by the pump station option. There are dry lines in that area that would be utilized. All dry lines have been tved and are in good condition so there is no concern using those existing lines said Mr. Wancho.
