SUBJECT:
Resolution authorizing the execution of an Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) between the City of Aurora and the Fox Metro Water Reclamation District (FMWRD) for work related to the CSO Control Policies, January 27, 2014 BGI meeting
PURPOSE:
The IGA will provide the means for the City and FMWRD to cooperate in meeting certain requirements of both organizations National Pollutant Discharge System (NPDES) permits.
BACKGROUND:
The 1994 USEPA CSO Control Policy requires that the City and FMWRD monitor and document the occurrences of overflows at all CSO outfalls within the City. The City owns 14 CSO outfalls. The FMWRD owns one CSO outfall within Aurora. The outfalls are permitted through the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit program.
The CSO monitoring consists of maintaining and downloading information from flow monitors that are installed within the overflow structures for each CSO. Information from each flow monitor is down loaded and processed on a monthly basis. The monthly reports are then sent to the IEPA per their requirements. Aurora and FMWRD have been sharing the cost of this work since 1996.
DISCUSSION:
Funding for this work is provided in the 2014 budget within the Water and Sewer Fund in account no. 510-4063-511-73-13.
IMPACT STATEMENT:
Adopting this IGA will result in a reduction in expenses for the City of Aurora.
.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
I respectfully request that this item be forwarded to the Building, Grounds, and Infrastructure Committee for their consideration.
