Printed on Recycled Paper.~ COUNCIL COMMUNICATION Date Agenda Item November 15, 1999 A TT. 3 Subject Columbine Sanitation District Supplement #4 INITIATED BY Utilities Department STAFF SOURCE Stewart H. Fonda, Director of Utilities COUNCIL GOAL AND PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION None . RECOMMENDED ACTION The Water and Sewer Board, at t heir November 9 , 1999 meeting, recommended Council approval of a Bill for an Ordinance approving Columbine Supplement #4 . BACKGROUND, ANALYSIS , AND ALTERNATIVES IDENTIFIED A request was made by Columbine Water and Sanitation District and Valley Sanitation District. The requested supplement area is in the Columbine District but the sewage is transported through Valley Sanitation lines , so Valley Sanitation District approval is also required. The City of Englewood provides sewage treatment to a population of about 70,000 people outside the City through contracts with numerous connector districts. By contract the City of Englewood must approve any add itions of land to be served by the districts. These are usually in-fill situations that are within what the City considers to be the area it has committed to serve. Adequate capacity has been provided in the treatment plant to accommodate all such future inclusions. Annexation of this parcel of land will not increase the tap allocation to the Valley or Columbine Sanitation Districts . The landowner, HTL-LLC, is request ing inclusion into the Columbine Water and Sanitation District and Valley Sanitation Dis tri ct. Supplement #4 is for 77 taps for a residential development consisting of 29 cus tom home sites, 46 patio homes and one for the Columbine Town Hall , all located on approxi mately 40 acres . The legal is attached as Exhibit A. The property is located south of Wes t Bowles Avenue and west of Middlefield Road in the Town of Columbine Valley . The name of the development is Brookhaven at Columbine Valley . FINANCIAL IMPACT None.

(C lemmons, N.C.) to lime-sta bilize and landapply biosolids. Rece ntl y, the city began working with the local plant of the National Spin- ning Co . Inc. (New York City) to in- corporate the company's residuals into the land application program. The city has an ongoing commit- ment to public education and good community relations and has an ex- cellent record of cooperating with a broad spectrum of stakeholders. Honorable Mention: Pepper's Ferry Regional Wastewater Treatment Au- th ority (Radford, Va .) The Authority's 12-year, cost- effective benefic ial recycling program pro- vides valuable nuu·ients and soil condition- ers to faimers. TI1e program's operating team works closely with regulatory and ex- tension specialists, farmers, and other stakeholders to ensure compliance and the most nutrient benefit to farmers' crops. Th e program's management team recognized early that user-friendly trans- port and site o perations are essential in- gredients for public acceptance, which continues to be successful even with new homes being built near application sites . PUBLIC ACCEPTANCE Municipal: City of Warren , Ohio The city has continuously pro- moted the beneficial use of biosolids. For exam p le, during the 6-month leg- islative process to approve a new biosolids processing facility, the city conducted beneficial use demonstra- tions us in g biosolids from Canton, Ill. The city a lso hired a biosolids manager a nd sa lesman to create targeted mar- keting a nd educational progra ms for farmers, landscapers, and the local media to foster public acceptance. While not all media stories were 24 positive, officia ls maintained a consis- tent message as they responded to con- cerns from the community. The y openly met with local organizations to answer questions and demonstrate the value of their biosolids product. The facility, which saved $323 000 in 1998 due to the program, now is applying the bioso lids "Nature's Blend" logo to other programs. Other: Prowers County, Colo., Land Application Program The program, currently operated by Parker Ag Services, has matured over a 9-year pe ri od so that it provides a continuous reliable source of biosolids for local farmers. The pro- gram has incorporated many critical components of the National Biosolids Partnership to gain public support, in- cluding a detai led biosolids manage- ment pla n and third-party verification. While gaining acceptance for New York's bioso lids in Colorado w as chal- leng ing, the cornerstone of success is the program's abiliry to build honest relationships with local farmers, regu- lators , and elected officials at the county and state levels. Today 150 to 200 ton/cl (136 to 181 Mg/d) are h a uled by rail and applied to 40 000 ac (16 188 ha) of permitted la nd in Colorado, m ostly to grow dryland wheat. RESEAR CH: Littleton-Englewood (Colo.) Wastewater Treatment Plant For 17 years, the Littleton-Engle- wood plant, with help from Colorado State Universiry 's Department of Crop and Soil Sci ences (Fort Collins, Colo.), ha s conducted continuous research on the long-term effects of biosolids on dry- Iand wheat farming. The research has shown that biosolids use on such crops is environmentally safe, economically Operation s Forum ATT. 5 beneficia l, and agriculturally sound. The research has led to improved biosolids fac ility design and operation and higher profits for farmers due to in1- proved soil strucmre and increased yields of high-protein grain. The research also has produced a number of scien- tifi c and publicly oriented documents, which have been ·of value to rulemak- ers in th e United States and Australia. SPECIAL AWARD: Oregon Associa- tion of Clean Wa t er Agencies and Ore- gon State University Extension Service Together, the association and exten- sion service have implemented an out- s ta nding educational program that cer- tifi es biosolids recyclers and produced a ser ies of training modules for land a pp! icarion . Th e program's objectives are to en- hance the public's acceptance of benefi- cial us e; ensure that operators, techni- cians, a nd managers have a thorough knowledge of bio so lid s characteristics, poli cie s, procedures, and requirements for regulatory complia nce; and en- h a nce the a bility of facilit ies to regulate themselves . The Northwes t Bio so lids Manage- ment Association has applied these ef- forts in severa l st a tes. They also are ex- pected t o be incorporated into the Environmental Management System for Biosolids now being developed by the National Biosolids Partnership.
