City's October, <br /> 2001, letter sets forth a number of reasons forthis limitation on the Fairgrounds' discharge into <br /> the City's system, including concerns related to capacity of the wastewater pipes that serve the <br /> Fairgrounds site. A copy of the previous letter and. attachments is enclosed for your reference. <br /> Recently, the Fairgrounds approached the City and requested that the City extend the dates <br /> during which the Fairgrounds can discharge stormwater runoff into the City's public wastewater <br /> collection system. <br /> The City has subsequently completed a review of the flow monitoring and rainfall data related to <br /> <br /> .the public wastewater collection system that serves the Fairgrounds. Based on this review and <br /> the maximum flows expected from the Fairgrounds during May " 15 .through October 15 <br /> (maximum. flows are expected to be no more than 0.5 MGD for this period), the City- concludes <br /> that extending the period during which the Fairgrounds can discharge stormwater runoff in to <br /> the City's wastewater collection system by two months wilt not" create a capacity problem in the <br /> lines that serve the Fairgrounds site. Therefore, this letter authorizes the Fairgrounds to" <br /> discharge stormwater runoff into the City's public wastewater collection system from May 15 <br /> through October 15. <br /> Thank you for your interest and understanding in balancing the operational needs of the . <br /> Fairgrounds with the practical limitations of the local wastewater. system. Please let me,know if I <br /> can provide anything further at this time. <br /> Sincere) ,/J <br /> Ku Corey <br /> Director of Public Works <br /> Enclosure: October 8, 2009 letter w/attachments from Jim Johnson to Mike Gleason <br /> Cc: Dennis M.
