<br />REPORT FROM THE DIRECTOR OF THE DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS
<br />Mr. Rollin Farrand, Director of the Department of Public Works, made his quarterly report to the
<br />Council. He talked about the soluble oil facility within the Waste Water Treatment Plant. He
<br />indicated that the principle users were the O'Brien Corporation, Bendix and A.M. General. He
<br />explained that industrial discharges had to be monitored according to the Environmental
<br />Protection Agency, and he felt many additional users would avail themselves of the facility.
<br />The cost was inexpensive, and there was also a reserve capacity. Mr. Farrand presented slides
<br />to the Council showing the operation of the burners, electric control panels and storage tanks.
<br />Councilman Kopczynski wondered about the chemical disposed of, and Mr. Farrand indicated that
<br />some of the solvents were brought to the facility in pure form. Mr. Michael Vance, Chief Deputy
<br />Controller, indicated that Bendix used a jet fuel which would burn at 3,400 degrees. He explaine
<br />that the unit would and must be kept cool to prevent melting. Councilman Kopczynski wondered if
<br />the energy being produced at the facility could be utilized. Mr. Vance indicated that there had
<br />been some discussion on this subject; however, nothing had been definitely decided as yet.
<br />Councilman Kopczynski wondered about the utilization of a small steam generator. Mr. Vance
<br />indicated that this had been discussed. Councilman Kopczynski wondered if there was anyone withi
<br />the department who could make a study concerning this matter, and Mr. Farrand indicated that Dave
<br />Wells was a very qualified man who could research the matter; however, time was a problem because
<br />of his many other duties. Councilman Kopczynski suggested that a committee be started for the
<br />conservation of fuels and energy. Mr. Farrand indicated that the Urban Observatory Program was
<br />looking at the matter of energy recovery. Councilman Serge indicated that the slurry seal projec ny
<br />were now completed by the city, and he wondered about ma; places° where water was accumulating
<br />and becoming stagnant. Mr. Farrand indicated that this matter was being studied on a long -range
<br />standpoint.
<br />Councilman Szymkowiak made a motion to recess, seconded by Councilman Kopczynski. The motion
