mixed liquor channels; installation of eight owner provided 48-inch manual butterfly valves and eight, 42-inch magnetic
flowmeters to replace the existing final clarifier inlet valves and meters; construction of modifications to the final clarifiers; and
other miscellaneous items including odor control, yard piping and structures associated with this work. This project is

Additional Comments: An additional contingency of $25,000 for St. Louis County Building Permits is included in the
appropriation. The estimated construction cost increased significantly during design when geotechnical investigations
indicated that a deep pile foundation system would be required to support new screening buildings. It was also determined
that existing odor control facilities were inadequate for the new loading and new odor control facilities would be required.
This is a full funding request. A supplemental request was originally planned for construction in FY2015 for $4,200,000.
This project is expected to be funded by Bond proceeds.
Contracted planning resources utilized: Watershed Facility Planning.

nd
brick and stone arch Old Mill Creek Sewer, between 14 and 2 Streets in the City of St. Louis, Missouri. This project will

#6660 – Sanitary Replacement Fund
Additional Comments: The Federal Water Resources Development Act of 1992 authorized the Corps of Engineers to
design and/or construct combined sewer overflow control or reduction projects in the City of St. Louis. The original Act
authorized $15,000,000 in federal spending. Subsequent amendments to the act have increased that authorization to
$35,000,000, and have broadened the scope of the project to include all the combined sewer area in St. Louis City and
County. Since inception, approximately $16,500,000 in federal funding has been allocated to improving the combined sewer
system with the Corps bidding, awarding, and managing various construction contracts. The Corps advises that additional
federal funding for the next phase of rehabilitation of the Old Mill Creek Sewer system is pending. The Act requires that the
local sponsor, MSD, provide a 25% local match for all federal funding. This Board action appropriates the local match
needed for the project, and authorizes staff to enter into such intergovernmental agreements as may be necessary to carry

out the implementation of the project. Staff is requesting introduction and adoption of this ordinance at the April Board
Meeting in order to meet the Corps of Engineers’ current schedule.
