To: Bruce Hutchins, Grand County No. 1 Water Sanitation District
Kirk Klancke, Winter Park West Water Sanitation District
From: Alison Naschak and Joe Fuqua, Fraser Sanitation District
Date: July 14, 2006
Bruce and Kirk,
Attached is Joe's Superintendent Report with regards to matters of importance concerning
operations at the treatment plant. Also enclosed is a copy of the DMR. If you have any
questions, or would like additional details about any of the information in Joe's report or the test
results please feel free to call him directly.
There was an additional claim related to the sludge spill of last January in the amount of $9,369
from Brown's Hill for replaced digester analytical instruments. This bill was paid by us in June
and the claim was sent to St. Paul Travelers at the same time. A check was received from St.
Paul Travelers for the total amount and was applied to the JFOC books for June also.
We also denied a bill from Brown's Hill in the amount of $2,62.50 as it was for replaced soft
rTh starters. It was felt that this was a warranty issue and that Brown's Hill would have to take it up
with John T. Jones. We have not received any additional response from Brown's Hill.
The 2005 audit for Fraser Sanitation District has been completed and our auditor attended the
Board meeting in July. Our auditing firm has prepared audit pages that identify JFOC related'
functions and accounting information. Copies will be provided once the document has been
finalized and submitted to the State.
There were no concerns with any of the accounting functions, and the transition of all of the
accounting for 2006 has been completed.
That's all I have. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to call me anytime.
Thank you,
FRASER SANITATION DISTRICT

Re: Invoices No. 1441 1442
Dear Mr. Wille:
The Fraser Sanitation District has made a decision to reimburse Brown's Hill for Invoice
No. 1442 as it appears that the expenses are directly related to work that was done by Brown's
Hill to repair damages as a result of the sludge overspill in January of 2005. It should be noted
that this invoice was not presented to the District until late December of 2005.
With regards to Invoice No. 1442 for $2,672.50; final acceptance of the project from John
T. Jones Construction was January 20, 2005 and a notice was published with regards to final
payment. Since Brown's Hill is a subcontractor with John T. Jones Construction Company, and
the repairs were made within the one year warranty period, the matter of payment for these
expenses will need to be worked out with John T. Jones Construction Company.
Sincerely,
Joe Fuqua

SUPERINTENDENTS UPDATE
Plant Operations-
1. Have removed covers from SBR, were the covers touched the concrete walls
inside the basin, has ripped and worn out the PVC type material that they are
made of. The violent manner in which the SBR mixes is the biggest cause of
that pre mature failure of the covers. The manufacture has stated that fact
many times over years.
2. Have shut down #2 trains for repairs. The new packing installed in RAS
pump #2, fixed the problem of leaking. The power supply cords for submerged
mixers and pumps are not rated for underwater use, damaged cords have been
replaced, and the ground water level rose to high to fast in the basin there by
making the inspection of underwater parts imposable.
3. Centrifuge we shipped out for repairs in Feb, damaged in shipment back to us,
sent back to Andritz Mar 24 for more tile replacement. The scroll was
reinstalled in late Apr with at least one broken tile. We attempted to run
machine at the speeds that were factory set. High vibration alarms along with
shut down have been problems since. Andritz sent a service tech Jun 2 and
lowered primary bowl speed to 2801 •m. We are going to run with new
setting and see what happens. Wt a'e I filled 00 jj'J containers aili7 o lems:
4. UV system bulbs have over 12000 hrs of run time. Factory recommended
n, replacement is 12000 hrs. New bulbs for one complete bank has been ordered
with two more computer boards also being replaced, one still being operator
ional at 100% power, and shutting down at 50% power.
5. Ground water is leaking under corbel in pump room. The leaks stop and start
when J C starts and stops the irrigation ditches. None of the leaks is very
severe.
6. Parker AG is scheduled to return and finish composting on or about the end of
July 2006.
7. The plant has been performing very well, based on all lab work. The enclosed
is reported to the state.
