A preliminary site plan of the sewer system dated May 10, 2005 is attached and incorporated herein as Exhibit A. I. PROJECT DESCRIPTION Currently leachate is collected from the 26-acre lined landfill located on the south side of Eubanks Road and stored in a lined containment pond. The leachate is periodically pumped into a 3,500-gallon tank truck and is transported to a manhole located in the Chapel Hill Public Works Operations Center where it is discharged into the sewer. The truck driver fills a sample bottle for each load discharged into the sewer, which bottles are then delivered to the Mason Farm Wastewater Treatment Facility at the end of each day. On or about January 2007, the Public Works Operations Center on Martin Luther King Boulevard will be moving to a new facility on Millhouse Road, at which time landfill staff will be required to transport the leachate to the Mason Farm Wastewater Treatment Facility. The Solid Waste Operations Center will also be relocated in the spring of 2007. The sanitary waste from the Solid Waste Operations Center will also be conveyed by the proposed sewer system along Eubanks Road to a manhole about 2,000 feet east of the Operations Center The sewer system project will consist of the design, pemutting, engineering and other related services as specified below for the construction of a gravity sanitary sewer system from the new manhole located at the intersection of Eubanks Road and Millhouse Road and extending west to serve the new Solid Waste Operations Center and to receive the leachate now being held in the leachate containment pond. The sewage in the sewer system will flow northeast toward Eubanks Road. It is expected that it will continue east along the Eubanks Road right of way to a point west of the railroad tracks. The sewer system will then cross under Eubanks Road, the raikoad and Millhouse Road.
