II. BUSINESS AGENDA
A. NPDES Phase II
As an information only item, staff informed the Committee that the Department of Ecology (DOE) has
requested that the City sign a Duty to Reapply Notice which will extend the current National Pollutant
Discharge Elimination System NPDES) Phase II Permit for another year to August 2013. This extension
is due to DOE requiring additional time for amendments.
During this time, no modifications will be made to the Permit. However, the new Phase II Permit is
expected to have two major additional requirements: additional stormwater monitoring and incorporation
of new site -level Low Impact Development (i.e.: rain garden, impervious pavement). INFORMATION
ONLY.
B. 2013 Public Works Trust Fund Loan Amlication: Rehabilitation of CBD Sanitary Sewer
Staff is seeking Committee approval to submit a low interest loan application through the State's Public
Works Trust Fund in the amount of $750,000 for the rehabilitation of the sanitary sewer system in the
City's Central Business District (CBD).
This 20 -year loan will allow the City to slip line existing sewer lines between Andover Park East and
Andover Park West (at 1075 Andover Park East), as well as additional asbestos concrete sewers in the
area. The loan will require a $250,000 city match and there is a 2% interest rate. The match and annual
loan payment will be funded by the current CBD CIP projects for sewer line replacement as well as
compensating with other CIP projects in order to make up the difference. If this loan is not received, and
work is not completed, existing sewer lines could fail and the replacement cost is estimated to be over
$5,000,000. UNANIMOUS APPROVAL, SUBMIT APPLICATION.
