S UBJECT: Marsh Creek Sewage Treatment Project
Supervisor Tom Torlakson gave an oral report to the
Board on the matter of the Marsh Creek Detention Center sewage
treatment project. He noted that there are many issues that need
to be resolved relative to proximity to adjoining residences, the
question of potential. odor problems, and the feasibility of using
some other type of system. Supervisor Torlakson commented on the
need for more community involvement in the planning of a project of
this nature.
John Sokol, 3255 Aspara Drive, Clayton, representing the
Marsh Creek/Morgan Territory property owners, noted that three
options were originally submitted by the engineer and the County
chose to go with the plan least acceptable to the residents of the
area. He questioned whether any environmental or public health
studies had been done on the project. He stated that the residents
of the area are united in their opposition to an aboveground
system, and requested that the Board endorse their position.
Joe Pattison, Aspara. Drive, Clayton, stated that his
property is 300 yards from the area where the proposed ponds would
be located. He expressed concern about the flooding problems in
the area and the potential.. for disaster with the open pond system.
Dorothy Labotta, Clayton, commented on the expense
involved with the proposed system, and. expressed concern about the
potential mosquito problem caused by the ponds.
Evie Ginochio, Clayton, expressed concern about the
impact the proposed treatment plant would have on property values
in the area.
Greg Winslow, manager of an engineering firm, stated
that although the project was supposed to be an emergency repair,
the actual proposal is a complete new system. He expressed concern
about the long-term costs involved.
Boardmembers agreed that the concerns of the residents
were valid, and noted that Supervisor Torlakson is working closely
with the Sheriff ' s Department and the community to resolve the
issues.
IT IS BY THE BOARD ORDERED that receipt of the report
from Supervisor Torlakson is ACKNOWLEDGED.
