HEDRICK: Certainly.
(Conversation inaudible.)
HEDRICK: Lisa, when did you say Jerry would have the ordinance back to us? That
ordinance?
BECKHAM: I think we will need ten to fiftenn days for a legal advertising.
HEDRICK: After we get it back?
BECKHAM: If we can get it back to us in two weeks, I think you would need a week to
re -read it and to have copies available for the public. September, first week in Septem-
ber, is a possibility. If not then, maybe the second week in September. I'll call him
next week to see if he's ready to send it. If so, I think (not clear) the first week in
September.
LEWIS: Mr. Chairman, Mr. Mills: The cost of stand by power, which we don't antici-
pate to be required by NRCD, would drive the project out of the budget that we have
allowed for it. Number 2, the second reason why we cannot agree to that would be that we
are not operating any lift stations, and what we have down there has at least a 48-hour,
with no power, stand by before it goes septic. And if I was to give you a worse case
scenario, I think I could get my engineer and the operator of, an operator here that
represents 30 plants that are being operated in North Carolina. I think he could come up
here and answer your questions why this is really not necessary.
HEDRICK: What kind of water system?
LEWIS: Well.
HEDRICK: So if the power is off, there would be not water?
LEWIS: Correct.
HEDRICK: No water, no sewage.
POPE: 48-hour holding?
LEWIS: The 48 hours is a graphical average of what it would take for the plant to
start becoming septic, which would be not what we want.
HEDRICK: You're not sure whether any NRCD would require that or not? Or are you
sure they would not?
LEWIS: The consensus of opinion of the operators and the engineers which are here
with me tonight tell me that NRCD would not require stand by power.
HEDRICK: I notice Mr. Carroll Williams is listed as a proponent, and Carroll, you
were sworn in last time, were you not?
WILLIAMS: Yes, sir.
HEDRICK: Is that generator generally required only in the case of a lift station
situation or why would it not be required in this case?
_v WILLIAMS: I(not clear) lift statin, they would require stand by generation because
obviously lift stations would tend to overflow before you, a sewer plant operation. This
plant being remote, so to speak, from the lake itself makes me think that they probably
will not go that far in the requirements.
We have been building the limitations, and the load allocation which the basic
parameters for design (not clear), we have not been given the final breakdown on it, what
they will require in plant design as far as physical feature, but it's just past
experience that I really don't expect, I can't speak for them, it would be unusual. If
there were a lift station, I would say I'd say definitely we'd be expecting to (not clear)
MILLS: Did you hear Mr. Weber say that we ought to have stand by generation on all
these things?
WILLIAMS: Yes, sir.
MILLS: Did you disagree with him then, too?
WILLIAMS: No, I don't disagree. I'm fully in favor if you're going to hold for that
detention tank, the stand by generation is a perfect solution for a detention tank. But
all I'm saying,
