REVIEW OF BROWN AND CALDWELL REPORT ON INCINERATION AT THE TREATMENT PLANT
Mr. Horstkotte, General Manager-Chief Engineer, introduced Dr. Caldwell
and Mr. M. L. Whitt of Brown and Caldwell, Consulting Engineers.
Mr. Horstkotte reviewed and summarized earlier recommendations which
led to retaining Brown and Caldwell to prepare the report entitled, "Report
on Incineration of Solid Waste Residues".
President Gibbs asked Board Members for comments and questions.
In answer to a question, Mr. Horstkotte explained the present method of
disposing of sludge under sale by contract and that grit is hauled away.
The question of air pollution was discussed.
In answer to questions, Dr. Caldwell stated that no new means of
incineration have been developed in recent years that could be considered
better than the process recommended.
Board Members felt that the economies did not warrant proceeding at
the present time.
Dr. Caldwell stated that incineration makes for better operation of
the Treatment Plant.
Obtaining a Federal grant was discussed - 1/3 of the total estimated
cost of $591,000.00.
Member Mitchell stated his objections to seeking Federal help.
It was the consensus of the District Board that it would be better to
get the new digester finished and in operation prior to consideration of
incineration.
Mr. Horstkotte suggested that, due to the long delay in receiving
Federal funds, application be made now.
Dr. Caldwell estimated preparation of drawings would cost $30,000.00.
After discussion, it was moved by Member Rustigian, seconded by Member
Allan, that the Brown and Caldwell "Report on Incineration of Solid Waste
Residues" be accepted. Carried by the following vote:

GENERAL MANAGER-CHIEF ENGINEER

Mr. Horstkotte, General Manager-Chief Engineer, reported that it is

claim with the District and the District having retained a soil consultant

consultant and he recommended placing tubes in the ground around the area
