Development.
Mr. White stated that as a part of the Amendment to the Developers Agreement they were required to clean and TV that section of pipe. Mr. White stated that he was present along with LTPA’s Resident Engineer, Steve Kinsey. Also present were George Kostro, Mike Reiff, John DiMeglio and Tom Carroll. When the inspection was performed we saw the extent of the damage. Mr. White stated that there is a 15” PVC line that connects with 100’ section of ductile iron pipe and the damage is in the section of ductile iron pipe. He stated that it appears to be just prior to the line going underneath the bridge and bridge support. Mr. White stated that there is a hole in the belly of the pipe and there is an approximate four foot horizontal crack in the side of the pipe.
Mr. Purcell went on to explain that there is a live 16’ diameter sewer line that has been jeopardized – it is going under a stream – you have to either reinforce and slip line that pipe as it exists by shrinking that diameter to get the strength in that pipe or you have to dig it up and then you have to have a new Stream Encroachment Permit issued. Mr. Purcell stated that it is a dilemma that the WBSA is saddled with. Mr. Purcell stated that it is a situation that will only get worse if it is not taken care of. Mr. White stated that the Pulte engineers and Mr. Bill Kelly, Engineer for the WBSA are looking into the situation. Mr. White stated that they are looking at the integrity of the pipe and if it can withstand the intense cleaning and slip lining repair or if it will be necessary to replace that section of pipe. Mr. White stated that the decision should be forthcoming within the next week or two. Mr. White stated that he estimates there to be 30,000 – 35,000 gpd of infiltration entering that section of pipe.
Mr. Purcell stated that he believes that they will be able to remediate that pipe, but they will loose the diameter – it will be smaller than 16” – and then they (the WBSA) will have to determine if they need that full capacity. Discussion followed.
3. LTPA Proposal – Response to NJDEP’S
Letter Dated
to Prepare a New Application.
Mr. Purcell stated that we talked about this in their presentation and in the past meetings – the assignment authorization on the Wastewater Management Plan (WWMP). Mr. Purcell stated that he was unaware if the Authority has heard from Ringwood or not. Discussion followed. Mr. Miller stated that after the last meeting he decided to wait a few days as the meeting between Mr. Hadley and Mr. Murray and the Ringwood representatives had only happened the previous evening and we felt they would need time to caucus and discuss it. He stated that he kept in touch with the Chairman, who reported back that there did not appear to be any progress in that regard. Mr. Miller stated that the letter went out this week along with an invoice and basically said we are going ahead with or without you (Ringwood), so let us know either pay up or he has been authorized to take legal recourse.
4. Letter Report on Septage Holding Tank
Mr. Purcell stated at the last meeting, he was authorized to meet with Mr. White to find a suitable location for a tank that would be accessible to the Authority. He would then be able to approach the contractor, Stone Hill Contracting and request a quote for a Change Order to accomplish that and the cost for the same.
Mr. Purcell stated that the Contractor issued a letter to him today, (copies distributed to the Commissioners) where he indicates that his quotation to install a Septage Holding Tank of approximately 30,000 gallons, at a location along the back line of the property near the parshall flume. Mr. Demitriou displayed the map representation of the location and proceeded to show the path of the flow to the Receiving Facility. Mr. Purcell stated that the contractor’s price is $471,663. Mr. Purcell stated that the report that he gave the Authority at a previous meeting was for a tank located right near the Septage Receiving Facility. Mr. Purcell stated that once we remove the tank from that site and locate it further back and away from the Septage Receiving Facility it was necessary to add a Receiving Facility to that Holding Tank and then the piping to bring it back to the head of the treatment plant. Mr. Demitriou stated that in the proposed plan we also have odor control equipment, a Receiving Facility which includes three baffles and shear gates, bar screen, and we have hatches over everything here because of the odor concern. Discussion followed.
REPORTS

4. Letter Report on Septage Holding Tank Cont.
One of the items discussed was the tank volume in the conceptual drawings and the possibility of increasing the volume. Mr. Purcell stated that it was not so much a problem to consider increasing the volume but the problems that would come along with storing too much in the tank for an extended period of time. Mr. White stated that we do not have very much space to store and hold additional gallons. One of the Commissioners asked where the money was going to come from for this Septage Holding Tank. Mr. White stated that he will know after the next meeting with Pulte. There was discussion on the possibility of lowering our costs by farming out some of the items where possible, such as excavation, purchase of the concrete etc.
Commissioner Bolduc asked what the Engineering costs for this project would be. Mr. Purcell stated he would have to determine his Engineering cost. It was decided to continue this discussion in Closed Session.
At this time Commissioner Moshman informed the Chairman that he had to excuse himself.
Mr. Purcell was asked to prepare a proposal for the Engineering costs for this project.
Facilities Manager
Inflow & Infiltration
Mr. White stated that the work is being performed by National Water Main. He stated that they are currently performing cleaning and TV inspection of the 45,200 linear feet of pipe in the areas which Mr. Bill Kelly has delineated. Mr. White stated that they are 60% - 65% done with the work.
To date they have found some minor leaks in the pipes – nothing significant. Mr. White stated that they will finish all the TV work before they will furnish us with an inspection report. Mr. White stated that we will then have to review that report with the engineers and all concerned to determine a course of action regarding any repairs.
Mr. White stated that we should be hearing shortly from Boswell Engineering and National Water Main and then all parties will come together for a meeting to discuss what was found and what our course of action will be.
There was further discussion on sump pumps in the town and how best to deal with them; should it be concluded that the lines are tight.
Mr. White stated that as reported several months ago, the Authority owns a 1987 Dodge Ram Pickup that he was holding on to for snow plowing services. He stated that now that the snow season is over he would like to auction off this truck. Mr. White stated that the vehicle is in poor condition and there is no reason for us to hold on to it. Mr. White stated that’s the truck is almost 20 years old, but it does have a plow package on it. Mr. White asked for a resolution authorizing the publication of an advertisement for the auction of our 1987 Pick-up Truck.
