Carl Brown submitted a letter in June requesting authorization to dump gray water into Northernaire Floating Lodge’s collection pipe at a reasonable cost. The East Koochiching Sanitary Sewer District denied the request as a result of the effluent containing sand and other solids, which was harming the collection system pipes, according to EKSSD.
Brown has requested that the EKSSD allow him to dump at Northernaire in exchange for his guarantee that the effluent be of a smooth liquid consistency.
The board is also expected to review the 2009 budget of Environmental Services at 2:10 p.m. and review the veteran service officer at 2:50 p.m.
