0 CITY OF SOUTH BEND 1 OFFICE OF THE CLERK <br /> Indiana, if we're looking at this as a statewide issue? Who else is in the hopper with a plan either <br /> as onerous or similar in terms of the Long-Term Control Plan? <br /> Mr. Fahey stated, Probably Evansville. <br /> Councilmember Broden asked, Fort Wayne isn't in that? <br /> Mr. Horvath stated, Fort Wayne isn't as expensive. <br /> Mr. Fahey stated, They had previously, with some foresight, built facilities at the treatment plant <br /> that have now been repurposed. I went to visit them to find out specifically what they were doing. <br /> Mr. Horvath stated, They have huge lagoons, and now it would be really tough to try to build an <br /> open-air lagoon. We would not have any area residents who would want them around because <br /> occasionally we would get some smell from it, but since theirs have been there since the 1950's, <br /> they're used to having them. So, Evansville is probably the closest. Mishawaka has some issues <br /> that they're going to be dealing with as well. In terms of the burden of how much they're asking <br /> us to do to get to the environmental benefit, we have one (1) of the most restrictive decrees <br /> anywhere, nationally. <br /> Councilmember Broden stated, When you came to the North Shore Triangle meetings to give us <br /> an update,you had mentioned a bit of an update on Mishawaka and their efforts. Maybe just briefly <br /> tonight or as follow up to this meeting, what are they doing overall? <br /> Mr.Fahey replied,I know that they had proposed a small tunnel to burrow.The initial investigation <br /> into that realized it was deeper than they initially expected which would make it more expensive. <br /> They're entering into renegotiations at the moment as well, but other than that they were talking <br /> about a lot less dollar amounts. <br /> Committee Chair Teshka then opened the floor to members of the public. <br /> Jason Banicki, 3822 Ford Street, asked, Is this slideshow going to be available somewhere so the <br /> public can get to it? <br /> Mr. Horvath replied, We redid our website, so I'll check. We used to have every presentation for <br /> the CSO on there, so we'll put another link up. <br /> Mr. Banicki went on, And you mentioned the Western project, I live over there. I've seen it, its <br /> amazing. You guys are doing a lot of great work, particularly managing the costs. Are there other <br /> areas where we're doing the paving work, or other things like separating the sewers, doing the <br /> lining, besides Western Avenue currently? <br /> Mr. Horvath replied, Yeah, every time we touch a road we look at it as an opportunity to do <br /> something now. The Ironwood, Corby, Rockne intersection, we're taking the opportunity to build <br /> a detention basin there by the church and putting storm lines and separating in that area. It is also <br /> going to be large enough to extend them a little bit further in the future. Smart Streets has <br /> permeable pavers. <br /> EXCELLENCE I ACCOUNTABILITY I INNOVATION INCLUSION EMPOWERMENT <br /> 455 County-City Building 227 W.Jefferson Bvld South Bend,Indiana 46601 p 574.235.9221 f 574.235.9173 TTD574.235.5567 www.southbendin.gov <br /> 13 <br />
