DENALI BOROUGH, ALASKA

RESOLUTION NO. 04-11

A Resolution supporting the City of Anderson’s State of Alaska Capital Improvement Project (CIP) request for Regional Septage Facility improvements;

Whereas, Anderson operates a septage disposal facility which serves the Denali Borough and Nenana; and

Whereas, septage disposal demand in the Denali Borough has exceeded Anderson septage facility receiving and permitted capacity; and

Whereas, the Denali Borough Sanitation Improvement Feasibility Study, January 2003, recommends expanding the Anderson septage facility; and

Whereas, the City of Anderson completed a Wastewater Feasibility Study in 2004, which confirmed both the need for the septage facility expansion and Anderson’s capacity to operate it; and

Whereas, the Anderson Wastewater Feasibility Study also concluded that a community wastewater collection system was feasible, and that there was capital economy to be gained by constructing a joint wastewater lagoon – septage disposal facility; and

Whereas, the Anderson FY06 CIP makes provision to construct a joint wastewater lagoon – septage facilty; and

Whereas, hauling and disposing of septage to existing facilities outside of Anderson and the Borough (e.g., Fairbanks) is cost prohibitive; and

Whereas, the Anderson septage facility serves the entire Denali Borough.

Now therefore be it resolved: that the Denali Borough Assembly supports the City of Anderson FY06 CIP application to expand and improve the Anderson septage facility.

PASSED AND APPROVED by the Denali Borough Assembly this 8^th day of September, 2004.
