Project Title:
MCSD - Kennedy Bridge Road Sanitary Sewer Improvements Project

Project Description:
The project consists of new sanitary sewer collection mains which will be extended from an existing system in Chimney Rock, a densely populated area of the Herrington Lake watershed. Portions of the existing collection system may also be upgraded. The existing collection system is connected to a privately owned package treatment plant. The KPDES permit for the plant indicates that capacity is available to provide treatment for additional properties located in the vicinity of the plant. The plant discharge is currently in compliance, but the plant is aging and requires renovation to maintain reliable operation, therefore the scope will include an upgrade to the existing package treatment plant. This upgrade will include new structure and new equipment. The areas to receive new sewer service include 1599 Kennedy Bridge Road, a mobile home park consisting of 25 lots, located in eastern Mercer County, on the Herrington Lake shoreline. The properties are currently served by inadequate and failed septic systems that have resulted in legal proceedings being initiated by the Mercer County Board of Health. Property owners have been found to be in violation of state health code regulations, as well as local ordinances enacted to protect the public health of citizens, Also to be included in the project scope is Maple Hill Subdivision consisting of 9 single family homes currently served by onsite septic systems and an apartment complex located at 1603 Kennedy Bridge Road, consisting of 15 residential apartment units served by an onsite septic system. The project scope includes the construction of approximately 2,000 LF of 8" gravity sewer main and 1,000 LF of 3" sewer force main. The project would eliminate the approximately 35 aged and inadequate onsite septic systems, eliminate infiltration of sewage to the Herrington Lake watershed, protect the health of the citizens that reside in the three unserved areas and prevent future legal action against the property owners.

Need For Project: Briefly describe how this project promotes public health or achieves and/or maintains compliance with the Clean Water Act or Safe Drinking Water Act:
This project is necessary to correct violations of State Health Code and compliance with the Clean Water Act. Providing sewers for these areas near Chimney Rock will improve the condition of ground water and surface water in the region, thereby increasing the overall health of the area. Currently the Mercer County Health Department reports that this area has had ongoing problems since the 1970s. Sewage often surfaces throughout this community and has been seen to run directly over the cliffs into Herrington Lake. Sewage the doesn’t run off settles into the ground where it eventually flows into the Lake through cracks and crevices of the very rocky shoreline terrain. Herrington Lake is a designated drinking water supply source.

Project Alternatives:

Alternate A:

Note: If project includes the construction of a new treatment plant or upgrade to existing plant, please explain regionalization options here.

Construct a new gravity sewer/low pressure collection system to collect wastewater from unsewered development at 1599/1603 Kennedy Bridge Road and Maple Hill subdivision.  Convey wastewater through existing gravity sewer system to existing wastewater treatment plant.  Renovate existing gravity sewer system and wastewater treatment plant to address maintenance concerns.  This is preferred alternative because it does not require a new treatment facility, makes use of existing facilities and is most cost effec

Alternate B:

Construct a new gravity sewer/low pressure collection system to collect wastewater from unsewered development at 1599/1603 Kennedy Bridge Road and Maple Hill subdivision.  Construct a new treatment facility in remote location with pump station and force main to convey wastewater from new service area to the new treatment facility.  This alternative is not preferred because it requires an additional treatment facility, acquisition of new property for the treatment facility and additional pump station/force m

Green Infrastructure:

Green stormwater infrastructure includes a wide array of practices at multiple scales that manage wet weather and that maintains and restores natural hydrology by infiltrating, evapotranspiring and harvesting and using stormwater. On a regional scale, green infrastructure is the preservation and restoration of natural landscape features, such as forests, floodplains, and wetlands, coupled with policies such as infill and redevelopment that reduce overall imperviousness in a watershed. On the local scale, green infrastructure consists of site and neighborhood-specific practices, such as:

Component		Cost
Item 1:	Implementation of green streets.
Item 2:	Wet Weather management systems for parking areas.
Item 3:	Implementation of comprehensive urban forestry programs.
Item 4:	Stormwater harvesting and reuse.
Item 5:	Downspout disconnection.
Item 6:	Comprehensive retrofit programs designed to keep wet weather discharges out of sewer systems.
Item 7:	Establishment or restoration of riparian buffers, floodplains, wetlands or other natural features.
Item 8:	Management of wetlands.
Item 9:	Purchase of land or easements on land that has a direct benefit to water quality.
Total Cost:

Attached is page 9 of the most recent audit.  You will see the Depreciation Account, which is funded monthly for emergencies, short falls and repairs.  The Fiscal Court contribution has been used for these items as well.  It is explained in Item C a bit further down the page.

For the current year, the financial condition of the District has improved dramatically and with the two separate Letter of Condition documents from RD in our possession, the monthly deposit with increase in concert with our revenue as the system grows over the next 18-24 months.


MCSD also had a meeting with KDOW where they agreed this met the intent of the Plan and would be somewhat of a temporary fix.
