RE: Request for Public Hearing
State Revolving Fund (SRF) Environmental Review — Old Mill Road Lift
Station and Force Main project, Granger Creek Sanitary Sewer System
Improvements, and Water System Improvements 2022
INTRODUCTION
The purpose of this memorandum is to set a date for a public hearing on the
environmental review as provided by SRF's Department of Natural Resources, for three
projects the Old Mill Road Lift Station and Force Main project (S2021-0394A), Granger
Creek Sanitary Sewer System Improvements (S2022-0094A), and Water System
Improvements 2022 (W2021-0783). The hearing is part of the SRF application review
process and will allow citizens the opportunity to come forward with any comments or
questions about the proposed improvements to the City's drinking water and
wastewater infrastructure. The City is required to provide adequate advance public
notification of the public hearing 30 days prior to the hearing meeting federal
requirements of the SRF program. The City will publish a public notice on May 20, 2022,
in the Telegraph Herald, a locally circulated newspaper. In addition, project documents
including design and environmental information related to the proposed projects will be
made available for review by the public in advance of the public hearing.
Following the public hearing, the City will submit a summary of the public comments and
proof of publication to the environmental review specialist at the SRF program
department, along with an executed Environmental Information Document.
DISCUSSION
Proposed improvements in the Old Mill Road and the Mar Jo Hills Road area are to
construct a new lift station, dual force mains, and gravity main connections from the
existing gravity system to the new pump station. This project will begin to add needed
sanitary sewer capacity to more efficiently convey wastewater to the Water & Resource
Recovery Center (WRRC). This project is proposed on the south side of Dubuque from
Old Mill Road to the existing WRRC.
Proposed improvements to the Granger Creek sanitary sewer system, in the Key West
area, are to extend sanitary sewer to Tamarack Industrial Park and Twin Ridge
subdivision along with capacity improvements to the existing Granger Creek lift station.
The sewer extensions will provide sanitary sewer service for the two areas and allow for
the decommissioning of the existing septic systems and a two -cell lagoon. The capacity
improvements to the existing Granger Creek Lift station will provide sufficient pumping
capacity for recently connected areas, along U.S. Highway 151/61/52 and the two new
areas to be served with the sewer extensions.
Proposed improvements to the City's drinking water system include construction of
water main extensions, one booster station, a water tower, and all necessary structures,
site improvements, connections and appurtenances. This is proposed in southern
Dubuque along the SW Arterial Corridor and Rockdale Road; and in northern Dubuque
along Central Ave and in the Olympic Heights area.
The environmental review public hearing is part of the SRF loan environmental review
process and will allow concerned citizens the opportunity to come forward with any
comments or questions about any potential environmental impact of the proposed
project.
REQUESTED ACTION
I respectfully request that the City Council establish June 20, 2022, as the date for the
public hearing and prepare a transcript, recording, or other complete record of the
hearing and make it available for public review.
