SUMMARY
As required by §22.12(1) of the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment’s Regulation 22 – Site Location and Design Regulations for Domestic Wastewater Treatment Works, Respect Engineering, on behalf of Security Sanitation District, is providing the Pikes Peak Area Council of Governments CAC with the attached summary of Site Location Application request for the lift station.
The engineering report accompanies the Site Location Application form requesting the approval of a new sewage lift station, River Bend Creek Lift Station. The name of the applicant for this Site Location is Security Sanitation District (SSD), whose address is 231 Security Blvd, Colorado Springs, CO 80911.Security Sanitation District will be the long-term owner and operator of the lift station proposed in this application. The proposed lift station will be located in El Paso County in Colorado Springs, east of I25 and Fountain Creek, approximately2,000 feet southwest of the current western terminus of Main Street in to US85, approximately 1,300 feet west of the Security Mobile Home Park and 0.9 miles northwest of the Security Wastewater Treatment Facility(WWTF)-CDPS #CO0024392.The proposed lift station will be located approximately 1,000 feet north of Fountain Creek. The proposed lift station will pump wastewater collected from single-family homes planned in the River Bend Creek Development first to an intercepting manhole. From this intercepting manhole, sewage will flow by gravity to an existing15-inch gravity sewer main in Southmoor Drive, which in turn discharges to the SSD WWTF.
The new residential development is planned to include 225 single family units (SFUs) at full buildout. Of these 225 SFU, only 213 SFU will be serviced by the proposed lift station. Site topography will allow the remaining twelve (12) SFU to discharge by gravity into the existing sanitary sewer main in Southmoor Drive. No wastewater will be generated in the non-contributing area. The proposed lift station will not require an increase in the treatment capacity owned by SSD.
PROPOSED MOTION
Recommended approval of the Site Location Application request for the River Bend Creek Lift Station.
