WATER<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 A total of 32,750,012 gallons of water were treated and delivered, 9,319,000\u00a0gallons from\u00a0Alder Creek treatment plant, 10,311,840\u00a0gallons from\u00a0Brownell Springs and 13,119,172\u00a0gallons purchased from City of Portland. Maximum day\u00a0production\u00a0was 1.29 MG on October 20th. 18.41\u00a0inches of rainfall were recorded at the treatment plant site during the month.\u00a0CH2M staff continued work on the clarifier for filter unit #3. We contracted with CH2M’s Corvallis lab to perform some bench-scale analysis\u00a0of the PWB source\u00a0to determine if raising the pH of the water would affect Disinfection By-Product (DBP) formation. Raising the pH did not significantly affect DBP formation. Curran-McLeod will review these results and explore\u00a0other alternatives.<\/p>\n

WASTEWATER<\/strong> \u2013\u00a0<\/strong><\/em>A total of 67,850,000 gallons of sewage were treated and pumped\u00a0to Iseli Nursery for irrigation or discharged to Tickle Creek. Minimum flow was 0.81\u00a0MGD on the 1st. Maximum flow was 3.81\u00a0MGD on the 17th. Rainfall was 1.75\u00a0inches on the 16th and 0.95 inches\u00a0on the 17th. A total of 15.22 inches\u00a0of rainfall were\u00a0recorded during October.\u00a0\u00a0BOD concentration was 13\u00a0mg\/l; BOD loading was 235\u00a0lbs; permit allows 10\u00a0mg\/l and 125\u00a0lbs.; SS concentration was 10.3\u00a0mg\/l; SS loading was 189\u00a0lbs.; permit allows 10 mg\/l and 125 lbs. \u00a0Permit limits do not apply when the water is used for irrigation, these figures are shown to demonstrate plant efficiency. Due to heavy rains in early and mid-October Iseli Nursery asked that we temporarily discontinue pumping\u00a0to their irrigation ponds to prevent any overflows. Plant staff\u00a0notified DEQ and we complied with the nursery’s request. We ended up discharging to the stream for about twelve\u00a0days prior to October 31st which is a permit violation. Since Iseli is obligated to accept our treated wastewater\u00a0between May 1 and October 31st we will see how DEQ handles this discharge. \u00a0245 metric tons of sludge was processed and stored on site.\u00a0No\u00a0sludge was hauled and spread during October.\u00a0<\/em>The pumps at Marcy St.; Northside, Southside, Southeast, Southwest and Meinig Ave. lift stations ran a total of 629\u00a0hours with no significant problems.<\/p>\n

STREETS<\/strong>\u00a0&\u00a0STORM<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013\u00a0The street sweeping contractor spent 90\u00a0hours sweeping streets and collected more than 80\u00a0tons (110 cu. yds.) of debris, covering 334\u00a0lane miles.<\/p>\n

PARKS, BUILDINGS AND GROUNDS \u2013 <\/strong>\u00a0Due to all the rain and warm temperatures in October the west half of the dog park in Sandy Bluff Park greened up nicely and will be opened back up in early November. The splash pad at Bornstedt Park was closed for the season. Parks staff kept busy with leaf collection and removal in City parks. The City’s consulting arborist reviewed tree health and looked for tree hazards in City parks, open spaces and rights-of-way on October 5th. The arborist made several recommendations for tree pruning and\/or removal that we will implement. Standby generators at all city facilities (11 total) were serviced and tested in October.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
