• • • Regular Meeting 8/16/76 4 4. PUBLIC HEARING - PUBLIC LAW 92-500 - SANITARY SEWER (CONTINUED) Mr. Smith then asked if the proposed Sewage Treatment Plant Expansion has been planned and sized to accommodate Spenwick Place M.U.D., since Spenwick lies within the extra-territorial jurisdiction of La Porte? Mr. Corbin answered that the proposed expansion has been sized to include Spenwick Place M.U.D. as well as other neighboring entities. Mr. Love asked if the proposed effluent will enter Clear Lake? Mr. Corbin answered that the proposed effluent will enter Galveston Bay and not Clear Lake. Mr. Love then asked if the proposed La Porte Sewage Treatment Plant Expansion can be modified in the future to provide for tertiary treatment as is now required for effluent entering the Clear Lake? Mr. Corbin answered that the proposed expansion can easily be modified to provide for a tertiary process. • Mr. Smith asked where septic tank effluent from Spenwick Place M.U.D. is discharged? Mr. Corbin replied that some of the wastewater effluent from the septic tanks in Spenwick eventually probably discharge to Big Island Slough. Mr. Smith asked if La Porte has the responsibility to replace the septic tank system in Spenwick with a sewer collection system, thereby eliminating the discharge to Big Island Slough? Mayor Meza answered that he thinks Spenwick Place M.U.D. has a bond program set up to construct a water and sanitary sewer system. Mr. Busch confirmed Mayor Meza's statement by saying that La Porte has entered into an agreement with Spenwick to furnish water and sanitary sewer service after their distribution and collection systems have been completed. This service will be rendered for a set fee to be established at a later date. With no one else present desiring to give testimony, the public hearing was declared closed at 7:50 P.M. • + + +
