The final design of the 'fix' for the present situation in which the original STEP tank is undersized for the peak daily flows and was installed without a baffle includes the placement of a 'pump' STEP tank downstream from the original STEP tank. 2. The agreement should be clear that Wal-Mart agrees to fully maintain the initial 'solids' STEP tank and pump it as needed but no less than once per year. Further, if the inital 'solids' tank is not maintained and it causes the City to service the 'pump' STEP tank more frequently than would be expected (once every three years), Wal-Mart will be responsible for those costs as well. I would like Wal-Mart to prepare a draft agreement for our review to be submitted with the next civil plan submittal. Please provide a hard copy with the plans and a version on CD or via email in Microsoft Word format. Thanks for your attention to this matter, and let me know if you have any questions about the maintenance agreement.

The remainder of the store either utilizes grease traps or does not have a direct connection to the sanitary system. After discussing the situation on site, it looks like there are two approachable options for resolving the paper towel issue: 1) The first would be to remove the current towels within the restrooms and install hand dryers. The store manager has indicated that the customers will be unhappy with this approach as she currently has many complaints if the restrooms run out of towels. I’m sure you can understand that unhappy customers could result in fewer customers and less return. 2) This option would include the installation of the new tank downstream of the current tank. The pumps will be removed from the current tank and installed in the new tank. Once the new tank is installed, the first tank would be monitored and we would then be able to determine if the solids are settling and the tank may need to be pumped less often. With this option Wal-Mart would enter into an agreement with the City to maintain (pump) the settling tank, while the City still maintains the pumping tank. Obviously, reading through the options you could ascertain that we may end up with a hybrid of both in the end and really it will be determined with time and the installation of the additional tank. Wal-Mart is currently working on the analysis to determine the most cost effective approach on the paper towel issue as well as determining a overall solution to the problem. One other item to note was the presence of latex gloves in the existing tank and the store manager indicated that she will inform the cleaning staff that those are no longer to be flushed and are to be put into the solid waste receptacles. Allen, please feel free to add to this if you see necessary. Please let me know if you have any questions on today’s meeting or the above information.
