Alternatives Evaluation Shows
In most cases it is cost effective to work with Existing Utilities (especially ETown, Ft. Knox, & Caveland).
Some cases could be made for New County Plant to East (Younger Creek) and South (Nolin River).
Recommended Plan still being formulated.
Issues Ahead
•Wasteload Allocation (potential effluent limits)•Final Planning Area Delineation•Concurrence with “Recommended Plan”
HCWD2Judge ExecutiveAdvisory Committee
Wasteload Allocations Results• Letter from KDOW regarding preliminary design requirements
(Nov. 29, 2005)
• Receiving Streams were categorized as “High Quality Water” – Antidegradation Regulations Apply
• All WWTPs shall meet grade 1 reliability requirements
KDOW changed their stance on May 12 to allow the facilities plan to provide the basis for the HQAA demonstration. A letter has been sent requesting ‘conventional’ effluent limits. If the plan does not satisfy KDOW, stringent limits will be imposed.
STILL WAITING!
