SUMMARY: Description of Proposed Action.
NEED FOR ACTION
In June 1979, an EIS was prepared on a 1976 Facilities Plan which had recommendations to upgrade and use both the Southerly and [ackson Pike WWTP's for treating the Columbus wastewater. In December 1984, and September 19B5. newly revised Facilities Plans were submitted which proposed the upgrade and expansion of Southerly and the total phase out of the Jackson Pike WWTP. Since the newly proposed submittals represent substantial changes from the 1979 EIS, a supplemental EIS is needed to evaluate the new alternative and identify the most cost-effective and environmentally acceptable wastewater treatment alternative for the Columbus Planning area.
Alternatives
--Divert (ackson Pike flows to Southwesterly WWTP and provide advanced treatment at Southwesterly and Southerly
--Divert (ackson Pike flows to Southwesterly WWTP: pump Southerly effluent to Southwesterly; provide advanced treatment to all flows at Southerly.
--EIS recommendation based on a 1979 Facilities Plan: upgrading and improving the existing facilities at . Jackson Pike and Southerly WWTP to meet NPDES permit limits on the Scioto River is both cost-effective and environmentally acceptable.
--The City's proposed action based on a 1985 Revised Facilities Plan: upgrade and expand the Southerly WWTP and totally phase out the Jackson Pike WWTP to meet NPDES permit limits on the Scioto River.
Scoping:
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Region V, will hold a public scoping meeting on Tuesday, July 22, 1986 at 1:00 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. at the City of Columbus City Hall. 2nd Floor Council Chambers, 90 W. Broad St. Columbus, Ohio. Details of the history of the project and proppsed changes will be presented. Tbe public is invited to attend and identify issues that should be addressed in the EIS.
