Environmental budgets: solid waste, wastewater, bioreactor
Discussed
Director Tyler Richards proposed solid waste revenue and expense of $18,347,897, a $3,825,000 construction and demolition transfer station and a green waste pad backed by a $4,000,000 EPA grant and $4,000,000 city match. The biosolids expansion drew bids of $6,456,576 to $6,978,000, with a $5,000,000 federal grant. Bioreactor 4 would raise plant capacity from 18 to 24 million gallons a day at $29,968,000 ($19,835,000 base plus $10,133,000 alternate); listed sources total $27,477,615, about $2.49 million short, and the minutes do not explain the gap. Richards said the state would lend, not grant, funds, which would require bonding, and that the landfill has about 2.5 years of life left.

Workshop: wastewater master plan update, Resolution 26-34
Discussed
Water and Wastewater Division Manager Joe Hawkes and consultant Steve Jones of Hansen, Allen & Luce said the system absorbs about 8 million gallons a day of infiltration and must handle up to 10 million gallons of storm inflow, using 210 gallons per household per day. Capital needs are $22 million for existing infrastructure (Logan's share $9 million and partner cities $13 million) and $21 million of 10-year growth projects (Logan's share $3.7 million). Replacement value is about $500 million, so Logan should budget about $4.2 million a year over a 100-year life cycle. The consultant found the system well managed. Action was set for October 6.
