RE: Town of Mead Wastewater Treatment Plant Site Application for the Construction of a New Wastewater
Treatment Facility—Status Update
Dear Mr. Wright:
The purpose of this letter is to provide the Town with an update on the status of the above-described site
application.
1.0 Consolidation Analysis Issues
The Division has reviewed the Town's February 14, 2007-dated response letter submission. Based on the results
of the review work, it has been determined that the consolidation analysis information included in the original Site
Application and the February 14 letter was not completed in accordance with the requirements of the Site
Location and Design Approval Regulations for Domestic Wastewater Treatment Works (Regulation 22) Sections
22.3(1)(c)and 22.4(1)(b)(ii, v) and Water Quality Site Application Policy 5. Additionally, the capital cost
information provided for the consolidation analysis does not equally address the entire 208 service area for the
two options that are identified in the original submittal.
A tabular summary of the eight factors required by Policy 5, as indicated on the next page, may be beneficial as it
would provide a clear means for presentation of the necessary information. Please refer to Policy 5 for specific
information regarding each factor.
