The Miamiville Civic Association submits that Horner's Run be considered as a reasonable, logical and cost effective alternative to Miamiville for the location and construction of a regional Waste Water Treatment Plant.
1. Place the plant at Horner's Run to service sub-basins 1-12, with an
option to convey sub-basins 1-3 to Polk Run WWTP.
2. Turn the Wards Corner WWTP into a Lift station to pump up Ibold Road
to the Price Road intersection and naturally drain into the Horners
Run basin. This should eliminate the Cook Road, Weber's Crossing,
Bramblewood and Wood Bridge lift stations which should naturally drain
into the Horner's Run sub-basin.
3. Horner's run is the most central discharge point between Sycamore WWTP
and Lower East Fork WWTP.
4. The suggested site at Horners Run based upon the Harza and B&V studies
places the site in a non-residential area of minimal aestethic impact
to residences of Miami Township.
5. Long range plans propose to reduce the load on Lower East Fork WWTP.
By placing the proposed new WWTP at Horner's Run, this can be
implemtented more cost effectively, processing more GPD sooner for
sub-basins 7-12.
6. Horner's Run is the natural drainage tributary for sub-basins 8 thru 12 and some of 7.
7. The most serious location in the planning area which shows persistant bacteria in dry and wet weather is mainstream Horner's Run below Wood Creek subdivison. This problem could quickly be resolved with a plant at Horner's Run.
8. If trenching across Horner's Run or smaller tributaries in the area is objectionable, those places could be bored underneath for pipe installation.
