Wednesday - December 16: The BWD Engineering Committee held their bi-weekly Progress Meeting for Part A of the Salineville Water Project. Present at the meeting was Committee Chairman Chuck Bibbee, members Gene McGaffick and Tim O'Hara. Also present was Board President Mike Ryan, Board members Bob Wines & Cal Carney, Fiscal Officer Sara Crouch, District Manager Al DeAngelis, BWD Project Inspector Mark Allison, Dallis Dawson & Jon Blair of Dallis Dawson Assocs. and Dave Sugar of Sugar Excavating.
Dave Sugar reported the directional drilling in the "swamp" is completed and all that is left for installing the pipeline is 800 feet in that area. Tie-in from the pipeline on Forbes Road to the Route 39 portion was being done Wednesday. It was expected to have the tie-in with that last 800 feet completed by Thursday of this week.
Work is continuing on replacing storm sewers. With the cold weather preventing the laying of asphalt temporary fixes are being made on cuts in roadway surfaces. Presently the pipeline is being covered with a layer of concrete, a layer of visqueen and another layer of concrete. When warm weather returns next spring those areas will be revisited removing the second layer of concrete and replacing it with asphalt.
Also to be revisited next spring are areas that need landscaping. For now they are being smoothed over and covered with mulch to prevent soil erosion. In the spring they will put the finishing touches on returning the soil to its original condition and seeding.
Except for the Crews Road extension there are 10 tie-in services to be completed out of the 13 that were requested. Valves and tie-in pipe will be installed for a possible Southern Local complex tie-in. The school complex will be ready for a tie-in service if and when they decide to sign on for the new water service.
Sugar reported that the EPA is satisfied and all complaints have been handled except for one Route 39 resident. That particular one is still being investigated by BWD personnel.
Sugar advised he is still waiting on the engineering for the Crews Road extension. Dallis Dawson advised the plans are completed. Mike Ryan advised he would like to get Sugar's price and those figures & plans to the EPA by week's end. It is hoped to get the EPA approval for the extension before the Sugar Excavating equipment has been moved out. Sugar advised he has already started moving some equipment out. Ryan stated it is planned for BWD personnel to install the tie-in services on Crews Road once the pipeline is installed.
Summing up Sugar advised that they should be pretty much out of here in two weeks. The next progress meeting is scheduled for December 30 at the Water Treatment Plant.
