~~ are sized with the concept tha"t the main La Porte plant could become a regional facility serving the adjacent communities of Morgan's Point, Spenwick Municipal Utility District, College View Municipal Utility District and possibly Shoreacres and Bay Area Municipal Utility District. The proposed foot- age and size of lines related to this grant request are: Size Len th 8 Diameter 8,900 Linear Feet 30 Diameter 13,200 Linear Feet 48' Diameter 4,300 Linear Feet Purpose of the Project - As has been previously stated the Fairmont Park plant is subject to the TWQB orders relating to discharges.. in the Clear Lake Watershed. It does not now meet these effluent quality standards and. cannot without revisions at considerable expense. Since an alternate solution mentioned by the TWQB in its Order No. 74-0122-2 is to divert discharges away from the Clear Lake Watershed, this seemed the most plausible choice. Particularly so, since the abandonment of the Fairmont Park plant and expansion of the main plant fits with the regional concept of wastewater treatment facilities. The purpose of this project is then, simply to provide an expanded, centralized, treatment facility, new interceptors to bring wastewater to the facility, and the abandonment of a small and outmoded plant. There is no existing plan of development which would involve this project, however, as stated, it does conform generally to the regional concept, and should lend itself to any plan that might develop. • Project Status - The status of the project at present is that the grant request for Step 1 has been submitted to the TWQB. An Infiltration/Inflow Analysis has been completed and submitted to the TWQB. As a result of the determination that excess infiltration/inflow does exist, an Evaluation Survey Plan was also submitted to the TWQB. As soon as approval is given .the survey will be started. Other Area Projects -There are two City projects which have a minor bearing on this project. One which is only in the early planning stage and of little significance, is an 8 inch sewer line to serve the Air National Guard facility and the La Porte Municipal Airport. This will be a joint venture between the Air National Guard and the City. The ANG and airport facilities are presently on septic tanks and with this proposed line the domestic waste will be collected and conveyed along Spencer Highway to the Fairmont Park System. The maximum wastewater flow from this area is projected to be about 72,000 gpd. The other project is a sewer trunk line and collection system to serve the Southeast area of La Porte lying between Spur 501 and Galveston Bay on the west and east respectively and Little Cedar Bayou on the north and McCade Road on the south. The present load from this area will be 420,000 gpd and is not projected to increase sign,if~cantly since a considerable portion of the land area served is restricted from,. further development because of low elevations. there are no other projects in the vicinity which would interact in anyway with La Porte's proposed work.
