Sanitary Sewer Dump Station Construction & Operating Agreement
The cities of St Louis Park, Edina, and Hopkins and the Metropolitan Council
(Environmental Services Div.) have been planning together on an initiative to construct
a facility to dump sanitary sewer and. storm sewer grit material so that it can be properly
disposed of. This material is the solids that are removed from sanitary sewer pipes, lift
stations, storm sewer catch basins, or grit chambers when they are cleaned. The dump
station would be located in St Louis Park just north of Excelsior Boulevard and just east
of Powell Road. It would be owned and operated by the city of St Louis Park. The
attached agreement calls for each of the four participants to contribute equally toward
the design/construction costs. The Hopkins cost would be $62,000. The cost of the
material disposal service would also be shared equally until it can be shown that a more
equitable cost sharing is needed, Le., the amount of one city's dumped material is
substantially more or less than others. The per city annual cost for the disposal
service is estimated at less than $1,000. The facility is essentially a building with large
containers where the city's Vactor sewer cleaning truck could be dumped and the solids
and liquids are separated with the solids picked up and disposed of periodically by a
contractor. Currently, the city disposes of these solids by land-applying them in our
stock pile area - this is not environmentally acceptable. Other city's do the same or
have some type of covered holding pit or bermed area where materials are
accumulated and periodically disposed of.
With access to this dump station the city could continue to efficiently dispose of its
waste material while doing it in an acceptable manner. Additionally, the city could clean
and dispose of material from the PW grit chamber and periodically from several of our
sanitary sewer lift stations. This cleaning is currently contracted at an average annual
cost of $2,000.
The attached agreement has been reviewed by the City Attorney with only minor
comments.
If approved, the cost would be included in the 2007 sanitary sewer budget.
