Explanation
1. A Special Ordinance granting a variance to Chapter 34, “Water And Sewers,” Section 34-3403, “Environmental Remediation Wastewaters,” of the Moline Code of Ordinances, to negotiate an Environmental Remediation Wastewaters (ERW) discharge fee, and authorizing the Director of Public Works to negotiate an Environmental Remediation Wastewaters (ERW) discharge fee with the Illinois Department of Transportation for the construction of the I-74 Bridge. (Tony Loete, Utilities General Manager)
Explanation: The I-74 Bridge construction requires dewatering and removal of groundwater, and the groundwater in question has been classified as Environmental Remediation Wastewater (ERW), which requires treatment. The City has a Publicly Owned Treatment Works and wastewater collection system capable of receiving the ERW, and Section 34-3403 of the Moline Code of Ordinances defines the requirements and fees associated with the discharge of ERW to the City’s Publicly Owned Treatment Works (POTW). The volume of ERW expected to be discharged from the bridge construction is significant, and in the spirit of intergovernmental cooperation as permitted by state law, staff would like to negotiate a fee for the discharge instead of strictly adhering to the normal fee schedule for such discharge given the amount and given the importance of the project from which the discharge is resulting. The fee defined within Section 34-3403 was intended for smaller volumes of ERW. Additional documentation attached. This item will also appear on the City Council Agenda on October 10, 2017, under “Items Not on Consent” for first reading.
