x <br /> 1�l 11 ll i <br /> � ., and collection �� cost per home has een estimated at $3.811. l -. cotton noted . <br /> that the number was divided to allow Mashpee to determine the process by which residents <br /> would'connect to the system and to identify hot spots in the town. The total cost of the collection <br /> mains would be $16 million. Mr. Cotton recommended that use of STEP allows for the <br /> possibility of deferred capital costs. Additionally, use of existing septic tanks would reduce costs <br /> and hot spots could be addressed quicker. <br /> Chairman Fudala inquired about the possibility of mixing with other collection systems., W. <br /> Cotton responded that some situations may benefit from the use of grinders in commercial areas. <br /> The Chair responded that there were commercial areas with their own private systems, typically <br /> gravity with pump stations, and Mr. Cotton responded that STEP could tie into those systems, <br /> although design considerations may change. Mr. Cotton noted that a check valve would be <br /> utilized in a manhole, adding that an aeration tank would assist to release the sulfides out of the <br /> effluent prior to entering the main to address odor and corrosion issues. The Clair noted that <br /> Mr. Cotton's estimates would be high since private treatment plants were already located in <br /> some of his targeted service areas, but that they would still need to tie into the system. lir. <br /> Cotton added that he also did not lock closely at topography and made the assumption that each <br /> property would require a pump but that some locations may be able to utilize a gravity STEG <br /> system. <br /> Mr. Cotton discussed the design of the systems and his company's interest in working actively <br /> with the Town's consultants. Mr. Cotton felt that STEP would be a great fit for Mashpee and <br /> one that would offer more flexibility. The Chair inquired about the ownership of the equipment <br /> and.l r. Cotton responded that it differed at each location, but.typically the Town owned the tank <br /> and pumps, along with the responsibility of managing the pump-out. Mr. Cotton also discussed <br /> the automated'system that would alert operators about potential problems. Chairman Fudala <br /> inquired about the electric costs and Nor. Cotton responded that it was less than a grinder pump at <br /> approximately $1.50 per month. Mr. Cotton encouraged review of the binder that contained <br /> more technical information. <br /> APPROVAL OF MINUTES March 2912011 <br /> Chairman Fud ala recommended that wording on page 1 be changed from"served" to "regulated" <br /> and that"Wright-Pearce' be changed to"Wright-Fierce" on page 8.
