E. SOUTH ARAPAHOE' s mains flow into the Big Dry Creek
Interceptor (the "Interceptor"), which i s owned in var i ous segments
by SOUTHGATE and ENGLEWOOD, and which is operated pursuant to a
Basin Interceptor Agreement dated as of August 1, 1990 (the "BIA").
The Interceptor delivers sewage flows from SOUTH ARAPAHOE'S service
are~ to the Si-City TreatJ,,~nt Plant (the "Plant") owned joi ntly by
ENGLEWOOD and the City of Littleton; ENGLEWOOD operates and manages
the Plant pursuant to an agreement with the City of Littleton.
F . On or about January 21, 1985, SOUTH ARAPAHOE, the COUNTY,

on Figure las "Existing Manhole to Sanitary Sewer.• This system
and its connection to SOUTH ARAPAHOE facilities is hereinafter
called t.J,u "Landfill Tap ."
H. Changes in c i rcumstances since the data ot the 1985
Agreement, coupled with th~ need tor an additional connection at
~.he Landfill, have prompted thd parties hereto to restate the prior

under ENGLEWOOD's tap allocation program are not affected by either
the Landfill Tap or the Fairways Tap .

7 .1 Not,..ithstanding e provisions ot Section 5 a!:>ove,
because of the limited term of t his Agreem ,,nt a nd the time and rate
restrictions on discharge in Se c tion 10 bel.o,.., there shall be no
additional SOUTH ARAPAHOE tap fee t or th~ Fairways Ta .
7. 2 Also because o f said l imitations a n d r estrictions ,
neither the Landf ill Tap nor the Fairways Ta p sha ll be deemed a
connection to the Interceptor under the BlA . If, ho,..e~er,
discharge from the Taps causes any imp ll .. t ·Jpon any g allons-per-day
capacity ent i tlements under t h e BIA, sucn Cf>(>r,,c i ty im pact shall !:>e

foregoing, ho,..ever, SOUTH ARAPAHOE may, at its discretion but not •
later than sixty (60) days after notice of Interceptor capacity
impact is given to SOUTH ARAPAHOE, the COUNTY and WMC by SOUTHGATE
or ENGLEWOOD, alter the t im e and rate restrictions on Landfill
discharge into its s y stem so as t o eliminate the capacity impact
up on the Interceptor.
7.J The primary basis for t he ,..a lver of connecti on charges
hereunder is the assumption that t n e Landfill dewatering program is
temporary. Therefore, i f both Taps have not been disconnected at
or before the expirat i on o f this Agreement as stated in 14.1, at

days thereafter, at the then current amounts and calculation
formulae, and the Taps ,..ill be accounted for under the BIA as ne,..
connections t o the SOUTH ARAPAHOE system as of that date . They
will not, however , count against the Taps for which SOUTH GATE
agreed tc pay Line Charges under the May Jl, 1990 Agreement bet,..een
SOUTH ARAPAHOE and SOUTHGATE; the COUNTY and \;MC shall be jointly
and severally l iable to pay Line Charges attributabl e to the Taps
directly t o ENGLEWOOD . If as o f the expiration of this Agreement

ARAPAl!OE's mains, SOUTH ARAPAHOE shall annually inspect its main
from the po i nt of the Landfill Tap to the point of the Fain,ays
Tap, and downstream from the Fairways Tap to t h e "B" line, a
di stance of approx im ately 4,000 feet. Th e inspection shall be done
ry SOUTH ARAPAHOE'S regular maintenance contractor. If any build-

Wastewater Transmission
Agreement
STAFF SOURCE
Ste wart H. Fonda , Director of Utilities
COUNCIL GOAL AND PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION
W as te Management, South Arapah oe , Arapahoe County and Englewood entered into a
Wastewater Transmission Ag reement on January 21, 1985 for the treatment of collected
;torm water from the landfill. The 1985 agreement was ext ended and modified by an
Amendment dated October 1, 1990 to ailow a lift station and dewatering sump .
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Council approval of the Wastewater Transmiss ion Agreement between South Arapahoe
Sanitation District, Southgate Sanitation District , the Board of County Comm issioners of the
County of Arapahoe, the City of Englewood and Waste Management of Colorado , Inc.
BACKGROUND, ANALYSIS, AND ALTERNATIVES IDENTIFIED
The County owns the County Line Landfill and Waste Manag eme nt Company is the operator
and manager of the landfill. Rainfa ll and natural drainage ha ve resulted in water contain ing
contaminants to collect at the landfi ll site . ,
The proposed agreement would allow South Arapahoe to accept collected storm water, wh ich
would then flow into the Big Dry Creek Interceptor, which is owned in various segments by
Southgate and Englewood and ult imately in to the Bi-Ci ty Wastawater Treatment Plant.
The proposed Agreement would authorized a ne w and separate connection to permit the
