<br />Re: Sewage Treatment, South Bend
<br />TAr. Andrysiak's request of October 17,
<br />that the Stream Pollution Control Board give
<br />• consideraAL-lion to the construction of a prinary scw4ge treatment plant by the city of Soutb
<br />lBend was submitted to the Board at, its

<br />(D i Z, - 1
<br />lof our conference of November 3, 1949, at which titre lir. _Lndrysiah was advised that pri
<br />Im.a.ry treatment of the sewage of South Bcnd and I_isha,,,,raka would not correct the pollution
<br />lof the St. Joseph River,

<br />After due consideration of the entire St. Joseph River problem the Board agreed t
<br />Ithc construction at this time, bar the cit7',7, of South Bend, of a. plant which will provide
<br />!!an intcrmicdiate degree of treatment equal to at least 65 percent removal of the biochemi-`
<br />Ical oxygen demand. '-,,'his plant must also include chlorination and be so constructed that
<br />;!the secondary treatment units can be added when t7-:c need for these units develops.

<br />t4 i
<br />1works, provided the Board would agree to the reduction n scope of the project as outlined
<br />i:in the second paragraph of this letter. I shall appreciate confirmatUion of the above L
