R-06-05 . A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE AN AGREEMENT WITH THE HAMPTON ROADS SANITATION DISTRICT (HRSD) FOR THE CONSTRUCTION AND OPERATION OF A REGIONAL FACILITY FOR THE DISPOSAL OF GREASE AND GRIT. WHEREAS, with the anticipated closing of the Godwin Street complex, the City of Portsmouth needs to replace the grease and grit drying facility currently located at the complex; and WHEREAS, the Hampton Roads Sanitation District (HRSD) acting in regional concert with the cities of Portsmouth, Chesapeake, Norfolk, and Suffolk has agreed to construct a regional disposal facility, meeting all federal and state regulations, at its Nansemond Wastewater Treatment Plant in Suffolk; and WHEREAS, under a proposed 20-year agreement, HRSD will construct, operate and maintain the facility and will recover its actual costs, with no cost recovery for land, administration or salaries, by charging the participating cities a per cubic yard fee for grit and grease disposed of at the facility; and . WHEREAS, by joining in the regional facility, Portsmouth will not have to build and maintain a new facility, will eliminate the expense of double handing the material, and will save hauling costs, as the HRSD facility would be closer than the SPSA Suffolk landfill, where the City currently disposes of dried grease and grit from the Godwin Street complex. . NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED by the Council of the City of Portsmouth, Virginia that it hereby authorizes the City Manager to execute an agreement and any other necessary documents with the Hampton Roads Sanitation District and any other participating localities for the construction and operation of a regional grit and grease treatment and disposal facility in the City of Suffolk.
