Nicole Shanks of Tetra Tech, the project presenter, told the council the city's leachate generation has ranged from about 17.7 million gallons in 2022 to roughly 32.8 million gallons in 2023 and noted recent revisions to the Downriver Utility Wastewater Authority (DUWA) industrial pollution permit that add limits for PFOS and PFOA. "Alternative C was selected based on that lowest total present worth cost, the constructability, and the implementation feasibility of the project," Shanks said, describing the chosen granular activated carbon (GAC) system with ion-exchange resin.
