These two work items are described below: 1. MC50 'Reserve Fund Application Preparation: The Company prepared, on the behalf of the City, an application document that was forwarded to the Maine DEP and subsequently to the U.S. EPA. This application requested that the City be given consideration by the EPA for funding of two major I/l removal projects for the Carr Brook and Hancock Street subsystems to allow the elimination of the two Marino Combined Sewer Overflows (MCS0) that exist for those two subsystems. This funding .would originate from the MCSO Reserve Fund that was established as part of the Water Quality Act of 1987. The Company's work included meeting with DEP personnel, gathering the necessary data to prepare the document, compiling the document, writing various descriptive sections, contacting various state and regional agencies for input and additional documentation, mailing the application to the DEP, responding to DEP and EPA inquires concerning the application, and tracking its progress. Work items beyond October 31, 1987 include attendance at the November 9, 1987 EPA site visit, discussions and meetings with the Department of Marine Resources, responding to the EPA written requests for additional information, further tracking of the application's progress and continued availability to respond to DEP or EPA inquires concerning the application. The full extent of the Company's involvement with the application cannot be determined at this time. An 0481C estimate to allow the City to budget for this work is included below.

Operating Trickling Filter Plant Survey: To further document the need for a trickling filter pilot study, or eliminate the need altogether, the City Staff requested, during a meeting On September 4, 1987, that the Company perform a nationwide phone survey of operating trickling. filter plants that are exposed to cold climatic conditions. The effort was to find operating data that would provide the necessary design criteria for a trickling filter that would be subjected to cold climate and cold influent temperature conditions. The Company performed a phone survey of nearly 80 trickling filter facilities that are operational in the northern tier of states in the U.S.. Four facilities exhibiting the coldest influent wastewater and the use of plastic media trickling filterss the principal treatment process were contacted a secondtime to obtain detailed operating data over a year-long time span. The data from two of these facilities was analyzed via computer program to assess the facilities' operation. Theesults of this effort were presented to the City staff at a progress meeting on October 20, 1987. 0481C Task 1 - Financial Capability Analysis Description This Attachment 5 details the work plan andmanhours and costs estimated by the Company to assist the City in further evaluating the financing options for the Secondary Wastewater Treatment Facility and ongoing sewer rehabilitation work. The project financing analysis to be conducted by the Company in conjunction with Mr. Ted Jellison and Mr. Ralph Mishou includes the following: 1. Service Availability Charges (SAC) relative to determining excess design capacity; 2. Developer financing relative to sewer impact fees which could be assessed to residential, commercial and industrial clients to reduce upgrading project costs; 3. Financing alternatives which allow individuals to prepay debt costs thereby significantly reducing financing cost debt level and potentially opening the door to a CDBG application (if they survive D.C. budget cutting) to pay debt prepayments for low income housing; 4. Update of project cost for justification of rate increases required for July 1988.
