The findings presented in this report are summarized as follows:
1. The planning area included in the Facility Plan encompasses the Cities
fN
of Iowa City and University Heights and outlying areas which are
proposed for development in the land use plan prepared by the Iowa City
Department of Community Development. The planning area is located in
southeast Iowa about 55 miles west of the Mississippi River. The City
of Coralville, an adjoining community, is not included in the planning
L�
area. A regional approach has been used in developing alternatives
1
except that Coralville has been excluded from consideration since it
has its own sewerage system.
2. The population of the planning area has been estimated as follows:
1
Year Population
F{
1976 49,400
^'I
2000 60,100
2030 70,900
Project year 2000 population, along with future land use distribution,
is used as a basis for the design of the water pollution control
I
facilities. The population estimate for the year 2030 is used as a
j
basis for the design of major sewers.
3. Most of the planning area is served by the Iowa City water pollution
e
control plant. The water pollution control plant, a trickling filter -
separate sludge digestion type plant, is designed for an average flow
of eight million gallons per day (mgd) and a peak flow of 16 mgd. The
i
plant is designed to treat 11,000 pounds of BODS and 13,000 pounds of
suspended solids per day. The existing plant is not in compliance
and cannot comply with either the NPDES permit or IDEQ operation permit
compliance schedules for effluent limitations effective July 1, 1979.
The remainder of the planning area is served by four lagoons and
septic tanks. The lagoons have limited storage capacity. Two of the
i
lagoons are overloaded.
The existing plant has been encroached upon by development; primarily
{
commercial and industrial. There is no space available to enlarge the
t
existing facilities at the present site.

4. Alternatives, all based upon a regional approach, discussed in this
report, include:
Alternative I - No -Action Plan
Alternative II - Treatment and Discharge - Continued use of
existing plant with new tertiary facilities
Alternative III - Treatment and Discharge - Abandonment of all
existing treatment facilities and construction
of a new tertiary plant
Alternative IV - Treatment and Reuse
i Alternative V - Treatment and Land Application
5. The evaluation of alternatives was based on land use considerations,
�* analyses of costs and present worths, environmental impacts and input
" I h from City officials and citizens' committees and groups.
6. Alternative III is recommended for implementation. This plan includes
i construction of a new 13 mgd tertiary treatment plant about two miles
south of the existing water pollution control plant. The existing
plant and lagoons will be abandoned.
i
7. Planning and design of major sewers in this report has been limited to
the corridor sewer system which serves the northwest part of the
planning area. The corridor sewer system has been designated as the
first priority in developing an adequate sewer system to serve the
planning area. The design of major relief sewers to serve the
remaining area will be included in the Facility Plan, Section 2 report
t upon completion of the sewer system evaluation survey studies in
I progress.
1
B. The cost of the new water pollution control plant is estimated at
i $24,200,000 and the corridor sewer system at $3,980,000.
9. Total project costs, including the construction of the new water
pollution control plant, corridor sewer system, cost-effective
rehabilitation of the existing system and the construction of major
relief sewers (which will be determined upon completion of the sewer
system evaluation studies), are estimated at $40,000,000. The local
share of the project cost is estimated at $8,800,000, or 22% of the
total project cost. Federal grants of 75% and state grants of 5%
are anticipated for financing eligible costs.

10. The project is tentatively recommended to be financed by general
obligation bonds to be retired from an increase in sewer revenue rates.
It is estimated that sewer rates will increase from $0.27 per 100 cubic
feet to about $0.90 per 100 cubic feet. This constitutes an increase
to about 3.33 times the existing rate.
11. It is recommended that the City Council of Iowa City authorize submission
of this report to IDEQ and EPA for their review and concurrence and
authorization to proceed with an application for a Step 2 federal grant
to fund the preparation of plans and specifications for the new water
pollution control plant and a Step 3 federal grant for the construction
of the corridor sewer system.
Summary of Costs
In accordance with requirements of EPA, as outlined in EPA "Program Guidance
Memorandum No. 55 - Subject: Format for Reporting Costs of Planned Treatment
Works in Step 1 Facilities Plans," dated July 25, 1975. A schedule showing
a summary of costs of planned treatment works is included herewith.

r � MEMORANDUM
DATE: August 3, 1978
TO: Neal Berlin and City Council
FROM: Eugene A. Dietz, City Engineer
RE: Ordinance amending composition osewage waste at the point
of discharge.
At the public hearing on July 25, several questions were raised by Council
members concerning the advisability of the ordinance change. Attached are
a couple of memos from myself and from Dick Plastino as well as a letter
from Veenstra and Kimml addressed to myself concerning these matters.
There are three changes being proposed in the ordinance and they are:
1. Change the range of pH from an average of 5.5 to 7.5 (with
temporary variations from 4.5 to 10.0) to a range of 6.0
to 10.5;
2. Change the organic oil and grease content from 100 p.p.m. to
300 p.p.m., while reducing petroleum derivatives from 100 p.p.m.
to 25 p.p.m.; and
3. Adding the phrase in parentheses "(if exceeded the City may
apply a cost surcharge)" immediately behind the phrase "or
exceeding the daily average of 500 p.p.m." This will allow
the daily average of insoluble solids to exceed 500 p.p.m.
but provides a mechanism in the future for charging any source
for a discharge above this figure.
I have discussed these three aspects in some detail with the Environmental
Protection Agency and the Iowa Dept. of Environmental Quality and have
reconfirmed the fact that they do not have specific standards on the
components of waste discharge. Although they may have their own engineering
opinion regarding composition of waste, they do not enforce these aspects.
Their primary concern deals with what is eventually discharged to the
receiving waters, i.e., the Iowa River. In my conversations with represen-
tatives of the regulatory agencies, I find that they are quite willing to
leave these decisions to the local governmental body as long as the end
result meets their needs. The primary area of discussion centered on
grease and fat content in the sewage and they both felt that an upper
limit of 300 p.p.m. would not be detrimental to any system.
These parameter changes were in fact precipitated by requests from two
industries - the planned Oscar Mayer facility and Proctor and Gamble.
Ile are not however recommending these changes merely to accommodate these
facilities. Our ordinance was written quite some time ago which was
probably based on average information generated from other parts of the
country and not meant to deal specifically with Iowa City. Perhaps, if
Iowa City were a mecca of heavy industry, it might be advisable to spend
a great deal of time and effort devising a ver comprehensive set of
parameters for sewage waste. However, Iowa City is in fact predominantly

a residential community with just a very
of becoming heavily industrialized. This
the recent adoption of the land use plan
left to deal with industrial contribution
small portion of the total waste load to
few industries with no perceptions
fact has been further defined in
for the City. 'Therefore, we are
a of waste loads that are a relatively
our sanitary facilities.
I would first like to address the item of phi. High or low PH levels can have
two negative impacts on our sewer system. First of all, the effect on the
receiving sewers must be considered. A very high or very low pH can cause
a corroding effect on sewer materials and therefore must be limited. The
levels being recommended in this ordinance change are considered by staff and
our consultant to be acceptable to discharge into our piping system (see page
2 of the Veenstra and Kimm letter). The other concern for our system regarding
PH deals with its effect on the treatment plant itself. This can only be of
concern if the waste composition coming into the plant has an extreme PH. Of
the existing or proposed industries in town, only Oscar Mayer would produce
a waste that would approach the high side of this pil range. The planned Oscar
Mayer contribution is approximately 3% of the design flow for the new waste
water facilities. The point being, that by the time the higher plh values from
any one particular industry reach the treatment plant, it has been diluted down
to a more than safe level for either our existing or our proposed treatment
facility.
The wording change surrounding the suspended solids does not in effect change
anything that's happening in our system today. The limit of 500 p.p.m. for
the average suspended solid load from any one industry will continue but it
will not be illegal for those who have a higher than 500 p.p.m. average to
continue to be connected to our sewer system. The wording change providing
that a cost surcharge would be borne by any industry exceeding the 500 p.p.m.
is an anticipation of what will be recommended with a new sewer use ordinance
as our facility plan progresses. Frankly, the only industry that would he
effected by this change is Proctor and Gaanble and they have been in excess
of this provision of our ordinance probably since they began their operation.
This specific provision provides an .interim measure to make their operation
legal until a comprehensive ordinance change is in effect.
The parameter dealing with grease and oil is perhaps the most controversial
aspect of this change to our sewer ordinance. The reduction in petroleum
derivative grease and oils from 100 p.p.m. to 25 p.p.m. I don't perceive as
being controversial. The reason for making the distinction is based on
compatibility. The organic grease and oils are similar to residential waste
which comprises the majority of our waste load to the treatment plant. The
petroleum based products are not typically in our wastes to any great extent.
Therefore the organisms in the treatment process would find the waste
incompatible, which could disrupt the balance in the plant and cause serious
problems. The balance of the discussion on grease and oils is limited to the
organic variety. Again, the regulatory agencies do not have any particular
problems with what we propose as being 300 p.p.m. I have taken the opportunity
to call several cities in Iowa including Cedar Rapids, Davenport, Sioux City,
and Waterloo. The range on grease and oil is dramatic. Cedar Rapids for
instance has no upper limit, while Davenport has a maximum of 200 p.p.m. I was
unable to get an answer from Waterloo and I found that Sioux City allows for no
Lipper limit .in grease and oil but they do surcharge those that exceed 100 p.p.m.
It is staff opinion as well as our consultant's opinion that the proposed 300
p.p.m. will not be detrimental to our treatment facilities and system. For
your information, while I discussed waste water parameters with the cities

mentioned above, I did ask about pll levels and suspended solids. I found
that some cities do not have a lower limit on pll and other cities do not
have an tipper limit on pll. Other cities did not have a limit on suspended
solids, while some cities had a limit of 250 to 300 p.p.m. and applied a
surcharge for a discharge at a higher level.
It is staff opinion and the consultant's opinion that there will be no adverse
effects from the changes that are being reconunended to this ordinance. Further-
more, we should not anticipate an increased pollution load to the river because
of these changes. The fact is, during certain times of the year and in heavy
rains, our existing treatment plant cannot meet the Federal and State require-
ments for discharge to the river. However, these ordinance changes will not
affect this condition to any great extent. The waste load parameters for the
existing industry in town and the proposed Oscar Mayer plant are a known
quantity and are included in the facility plan, section 1 which you have
reviewed. These conditions will be designed for in the new plant.
Along with the increases in sewer use rates which were discussed at our
meeting with Veenstra and Kimm, we will also have to rewrite this entire
section of the sewer ordinance. The parameters discussed in this ordinance
change as well as the remaining pollutants will be addressed on a more
thorough basis at that time. In the interim, it is recommended that these
changes be made to our ordinance so that the industries that we now have
in Iowa City as well as those proposed in the immediate future can comply
with what we feel to be reasonable standards.

MEMORANDUM
DATE: June 6, 1978
TO: Planning and Zoning Commissionr�
FROM: Dick Plastino, Director of Public worksr iC
RE: Ordinance Change for Grease and fat Conte and PH
Oscar Mayer has requested that the City change its sewer discharge
requirements to guarantee that Oscar Mayer will not be in violation
of our ordinance.
We recently asked the City's consultant to analyze their request to
insure that there would be no deleterious effects to our treatment
process. Attached is a copy of that letter. The second and third
paragraphs on page 2 give our consultant's opinion on oil and grease
content and page 3 discusses pll level.
City staff is extremely concerned about instituting any changes in our
ordinance over the short term which would result in long term damage
or treatment difficulties at our sewage treatment plant. We believe,
as our consultant does, that the changes proposed are reasonable
standards and they will not have any effect on our treatment process.
We are not aware of the origin of the original ordinance and we are
not able to comment on why the standards were set so restrictive
initially.
Harry Boren, the Pollution Control Superintendent, and myself will be
present at the ,lune 12 Planning and Zoning Commission meeting to answer
any further questions on this. If Planning and Zoning concurs with the
change, we are hopeful the Commission will set the public hearing and
send on a recommendation to Council.

i We believe that the 180 mg/l of oil and grease that Oscar
Mayer indicates they will have in their wastes is not excessive.
The oil and grease test has encompased the use of three
different extraction agents in the last ton years. The exact
meaning of oil and grease analysis is not well understood
and it is doubtful that oil and grease data is comparable for
different extracting agents.
r
An upper limit of 300 mg/1 should be satisfactory protection
for the City's sewerage system.
The Des Moines Industrial Waste Ordinance establishes a pEj
range of 5.5 to 9.5 where there are free acids and al?:alis
associated with water or wastes having corrosive propert:e:;.
The Eater Pollution Control Federation, manual of Practice
No. 3 - Regulation of Sewer use, includes the followin.l
regarding pH:
"A pH of about 4.5 or 5 or below will corode concrete
P11 sewers, cement base structures, and, of course, metal
P ► pipes. Therefore, wastes of low p!I must be prohibited.
The highest pH values at the other end of the scale, on
the other hand, are not corrosive to pipes. Therefore,
full advantage can be taken of capabilities to bring p1l
down to acceptable levels for discharge by dilution with
other wastewaters or neutralization with less alkaline
wastes from some other source in the system. Wastes

proposed outfall sewer across Iiigihway 6 with the construction
of Gilbert Street would cost about $30,000, which will be

do, they will contact us about it.
Wayne also advised that the reporting and other requirements

MEMORANDUM
DATI: June 15, 1978
T0: Don Schmeiscr, Senior Planner and the Planning; and Zoning Commission
FROM: Eugene A. Dietz, City Engineer
RE: proposed Amendments of Sewage Waste Ordinance
Don, as I discussed with you earlier today, I am formally requesting that
a slight revision be made to the proposed ordinance amendment concerning
sewage waste. In a meeting on this date with Proctor and Gamble, it came
to my attention that similar to the Oscar Mayer Company, there is a certain
aspect of the existing ordinance which they would be unable to meet.
The existing ordinance provides that any insoluble substance shall not
exceed a daily average of 500 parts per million (p.p.m.). In point of
fact, Proctor and Gamble discharges a waste that has averaged so far in
1978,548 p.p.m. Although this is not a problem for our treatment facilities,
they do not in fact comply with the ordinance as it reads.
The changes I would recommend would not change the figures contained in the
ordinance but would add the following words contained within parentheses
immediately behind 500 p.p.m. "(If exceeded the City may apply a cost
surcharge)".
Essentially, without changing the numbers, this revision will allow Proctor
and Gamble (or anyone for that matter) to exceed the 500 p.p.m. standard
but will pave the way for the City to add a extra charge to that particular
industry to recover the cost due to the extra amount of solids in the waste.
This in fact will be the way the ultiwate ordinance will be worded but we
will at that time set up a schedule of the prices to be charged when these
figures are exceeded. In the interim, no extra cost will be levied against
Proctor and Gamble but will allow them to continue their operation without
violating a City ordinance.
I realize that we have been trying to piece this ordinance together to make
it a workable situation. However, it would not seem appropriate at this
time to write a completely comprehensive ordinance that would deal with
all the situations necessary to comply with Federal Regulations. I therefore
recommend that this change be made to the proposed amendment. �(l�

Mr. E. A. Dietz

Iowa City, IA 52240
Dear Mr. Dietz:
We have reviewed the Iowa City, Iowa Sanitary Sewage System Facility
Plan 1978, dated June 19, and wish to convey our concern with the capacity
being provided in the facilities for future industrial growth.
The authors state that "as a general guide, EPA recommends that the
waste load allowance, eligible for grant funding, from future unfore-
seen industries be limited to 10% of the total treatment works design
capacity or 10% of the total industrial load (existing plus documented
future) whichever is lesser". We believe the particular EPA employees
your consultant has dealt with have indicated a policy which is entirely
too restrictive and will lead to serious problems of inadequate capacity
in a few years. The, federal regulations on construction grants do not
contain such language, nor does the law, however, it is generally known
that EPA is trying to avoid communities deliberately constructing unused
capacity from grant funds in order to attract industrial growth. The
EPA is apparently attempting to limit grant fund use. We do not believe
the national policy is as severe as the 10%.
The problem is illustrated by the following comparison. The population
increase for the Iowa City Plant expected from 1978-2000 (according to
the report) is 10,700; this constitutes a growth of about 20% from the
1976 population of 49,400. In contrast, the report speaks to allowing
only a 10% industrial use increase. Where is the production for the
population increases to come from? The national production has to actually
increase at a greater rate than the population if improved living standards
for the impoverished are to be met. The gross national product average
growth rate in recent years indicates at least a doubling of industrial
production by the year 2000.
We do not believe the subject facility plan provides adequate capacity in
the joint facilities for future industrial growth and would like the
opportunity to work with you and the consultants to develop a prediction
of future industrial use based on historical records and general growth
predictions of the report.
Sincerely,
R. G. Bennett
