Title
SUBMISSION OF SEWER LINE PERMIT NO. SL000014130220 ISSUED BY THE STATE OF OKLAHOMA DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY (ODEQ) FOR THE TECUMSEH INTERCEPTOR PROJECT.
Body
BACKGROUND: The Tecumseh Interceptor project (WW0262) begins at the existing Tecumseh Lift Station, extends across Tecumseh Road and then generally northeast through Tecumseh Road Business Park and Founders Park Addition before connecting to the Little River Interceptor west of 12th Avenue NW. The Tecumseh Lift Station and storage lagoon will be abandoned upon completion of the interceptor.
The Wastewater Master Plan (WWMP) identified sewer interceptor needs throughout Norman to accommodate full build-out of the Norman 2020 Land Use and Transportation Plan. One of the projects identified in the WWMP was the construction of the Tecumseh Interceptor.
On July 12, 2005, the Norman Utilities Authority (NUA) approved contract K-0506-53, with Garver Engineers, LLC to complete preliminary design, final design, bidding, and construction management services for the Industrial and Tecumseh Interceptors. The Industrial Interceptor project (capital project WW0302) construction project was completed June 8, 2009.
DISCUSSION: As a part of the project requirements, a permit from the Oklahoma Department of Environmental Quality (ODEQ) is required. Staff submitted design plans to the ODEQ on March 14, 2013 and the plans were approved by ODEQ on April 24, 2013.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that receipt of ODEQ Permit No. SL000014130220 issued April 24, 2013 be noted, and made a matter of permanent record.
