Bob Johnson asked if additional treatment levels can be incorporated into the plant, should they be required.
“The assimilative capacity of the Thornton River is tremendous, even at low flow,” maintained Long. “We’re hoping that the SWCB won’t come up with any new treatment requirements within the next 20 years.”
SHOULD the Salem Church Dam project go in, added Long, anything discharged into the river will have to be “drinking water pure, literally.” In this case, the most feasible solution to upgrading the town’s existing facility would be to pump the effluent up to Ned Johnson’s farm for subservice disposal. “The last I heard,” the Salem Church Dam project is dead,” noted Long. But even it it’s not, the Army Corps of Engineers would have to pay for the upgrading on any affected plant required to meet Dam requirements, he noted.
HOW soon will actual construction work on the sewage system begin, several people in the audience asked.
Biddle answered that it would be August, 1978 “when you can flush your tpilets.” Long added that bids would go out in approximately nine months with the first shovel of dirt planned for a year away.
“Will there by any more hearings?” asked Luke.
Long said a public hearing to fix the final user charge schedule was a legal requirement.
There was one final question from the audience. “Is there any possibility of opening my snack bar during the waiting period?” asked Lester Deal.
“Make an application to the Health Department,” suggested Doctor LeGarde. □
