L Update - Sewer problem -181 Judson Blvd.
Iia Ring updated the Committee on the Colangelo sewer problem. As an immediate
solution, to relieve Mr. Colangelo's problems, staff has been working with the manager of
the park. Mr. Longo, to get a relief We installed. Another thing order consideration is an
expansion of 19 lots in Judson Heights. As part of that project, sewer capacity win need
to be provided. Jim showed a map on the Committee which showed the line which would
serve the proposed additional readenal lots as well as continuing to the Bomarc lies in a
way that would pick up slightly more than half of the trailer park plus ell the Flow from the
Bommc Industrial Complex diverting it through the new We rather than the existing line
which is in from of Mr. Colangelo's home. Since the last meeting, Jim has met with Ames
Engineers, who is doing to the design work for Mr. Longo on the additional subdivision w
well au the sewer. Design work is wag underway and should be completed this month.
Naim Heimann mod Lm and recently with Mr. Longo and discussed scheduling. The
subdivision approval for the additional residential las may take several months a the City
level and there may also be approvals on the since level with DEP which could be longer.
Construction of the street and those things that we necessary to serve the additional
residential units may be We this year or early next spring, However, Mr. Longo is
prepared to undertake the sewer construction, which would provide mWfor this area
within 60-90 days. Staff feels that this would provide substantial relief. Another issue
discussed with Mr. Longo were several means of actually restricting the flow no the
a ing piping system mthe trader park before it gets to the point immediately above Mr.
Colangelo's house. Mr. Longo is agreeable to doing that and the work should be done
within the next month or so. This should provide refiefin cutting back flow Nat reaches
the public has in from of Mr. Colangelo's house prior to construction of me new relief
line.
Councilor Tyler asked what specifically wil be dome in the interim? 1m explained that the
work would involve fabricating a partial cover or simmer home the top of the pipe down.
Inextrmne high flow situations storage would occur and back up into the fines. This work
would be done in the nen month.
Ccuwila Tyler asked who sets the standards by which the private system was origivsfly
constructM? Tm indicated that most of this construction was dome quite a few yeas ago.
He believes the state hes some specific requirements. Generally speaking, if a private
system is canstmcted, the standards are set by the City. Tm stated that in more recent
yeas, when there is an extension in a private system that is net previously approved, it
requires a Council order and it requires that the combination meet City standards. Mr.
Colangelo asked if when Mr. Grant instaged the trailers, was it prior to the City ofBangor
having approval? Jim explained that as far as the inspection of that system by the
Engineering Department, it was before the Department was involved inWareham. Than
would have been state plumbing standards that would have been in effect.
Councilor Baldwin commented that at this point the issue is what can be done for W.
Colangelo and what is Mr Colangelo's position? Mr. Colangelo answered that Bud Grant
has stopped the project on the road and he bas hired W. Hill to do the blasting so the road
will not be done. W. Colangelo does not believe that Mr. Orem is going to take on any
responsibility to put the tine in. Jim responded that construction will proceed, the design
work is proceeding and construction of that sewer will be done before any road work is
done. W.I.ongo indicated to the City that the work will be undertaken within 60-90
days. Mr.Colangelo's point isthat he doesn't believe it will happen because Mr Hill told

2. Continue Discussion- Policy RE: Iwo Water During Ice Storm
Bm explained that there have been inquiries four individuals that had additional water
consumption during the ice worm. The those largest requests came from Cedar Palls
Mobile Home Park, Martel$ Pak sad Walter Brooks. These are people that have been
calling fairly fraquentiy. There have been about a draw others and they are all fairly small
dollar amounts. When the issue fast came up for discussion, h was felt that there would
be approximately 15 requests. Under the circumstances, Too feels that these are
reasonable requests. Committee approved granting the two largest abatements, Cedar
Palls and Martels ant directed staff to grant three otherrequests which fall within the
$500 limit.
3. Update - Staff Activities
Brad unformed the Committee that they received the materials regarding the National
Awardforthelndustrial Treatment Program. The CityofBangorhasbeenrmminatedfor
this award.
Waterfront Discussion: Abrown request has been made to EPA and DEP to modify the
whole CSO implementation schedule. Staff wants to swap one project an the CSO
storage tads located in the mihoad area can be done [Itis yea rather than several years
from now. A response boom EPA and BEP indicated that they agreed or the request.
The project that was swapped "old have involved considerable construction on Center
Street and that area. Most of the mounting was due to timing of the Broadway project and
other projects going on in the City. Staff hopes the storage project will be done at Y. of
the expense originally proposed.
With no further business to discuss the meeting adjourned.
