Form #: B-52 <br /> 7/18/91 <br /> DEPARTMENT OF FINANCE <br /> REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION <br /> DEPARTMENT: Dept of Environmental Management DATE: 7/7/11 <br /> STAFF CONTACT: Dora Beck PHONE: 961-8513 <br /> A. REQUEST: <br /> An Ordinance authorizing the Mayor to enter into an intergovernmental agreement for a State Water <br /> Pollution Control Revolving Fund Loan for Wastewater improvement projects and authorizing the issuance of <br /> $1,200,000 General Obligation Bonds of the County of Hawai'i for the purpose of financing the following <br /> project: <br /> Kulaimano and Papaikou Dewatering $1,200,000 <br /> B. BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION (USE ADDITIONAL SHEETS AS NEEDED): <br /> The State Department of Health has indicated that funding through the State Water Pollution Control Revolving Fund Loan <br /> Program will be available for the Kulaimano and Papaikou Dewatering project. This project is scheduled to start in the first <br /> quarter of FY11-12 and is included in the proposed FY11-12 Capital Improvement Program Budget. <br /> This project involves the replacement of sludge dewatering units at the Papaikou and Kulaimano Wastewater Treatment <br /> Plants. The existing dewatering units at both of these plants are no longer manufactured and repair parts for the equipment <br /> are no longer available. Inability to dewater sludge at the facilities may lead to exceedances of National Pollutant Discharge <br /> Elimination System (NPDES) limitations for the facilities which discharge to State Waters. Identical units are to be installed <br /> at both facilities in order to meet equipment redundancy requirements for the facilities. <br /> SIGNED: rU betH D DATE: 3)7) I) <br /> Department Head <br />
