Economic & Community Development Committee Request

Requests

Request that the City Engineer provide written answers to the ECDC on the following questions.

1) Is there a single point of contact within the Engineering Office? A person that can provide all the information necessary to permit applicants.

2) Is there a different way to enforce I/I Mitigation by the Department of Environmental Protection as specified in their Administrative Consent Order? Can the applicant pay the city a fee instead of finding other infiltration and inflow projects to fix in the city?

3) Some builders have complained that the city does not keep proper records of I/I mitigation projects performed and banked. They argue that they performed I/I that they are not credited for. Are the city’s I/I mitigation project records up to date and accurate? Please provide to the ECDC the list of all I/I mitigation projects performed in the city.

4) Why might an I/I project require covenants and assigned remediation work?

Respectfully Submitted,
