SUMMARY STATEMENT:
The City of McCall recently received concerns from DEQ regarding use of the grit pit as outlined within the attached letter dated 26 May 2016. Within the letter, DEQ states that the
City should cease allowance for disposal of pump-able waste into the unlined grit pit at the McCall WWTP until an appropriately designed and approved dump station can be constructed
at the plant headworks. The attached memorandum from staff provides for the following proposals:
Short term action plan to gain compliance with DEQ directive.
Long term plan for identifying components and cost for needed infrastructure to continue operations.
Communications plan to inform affected parties.
It is requested that Council consider this information and pass the attached resolution to enact the proposed action plan to gain compliance with DEQ directives.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Adopt Resolution 16-14 suspending the receipt of grease trap waste and solid waste from pumping of sewer collection lines, and allowing continued acceptance of residential septic hauler
and portable restroom waste from permitted haulers, direct staff to carry out a communication plan with agencies affected by this action, and authorize the Mayor to sign all necessary
documents.
