Bloomville board weighs lift‑station sites and sludge‑disposal options for Attica sewer regionalization
Summary
The Bloomville Board of Public Affairs discussed potential sites for a quarter‑acre lift station needed for the Attica sewer regionalization, confirmed that one nearby property holds EPA sludge permits, and agreed to backfill the lagoon with soil from the north side of the site once drained.
President Logan Reinhart called the Bloomville Board of Public Affairs to order on May 26 and the board discussed infrastructure work needed for the Attica sewer regionalization, including siting a new quarter‑acre lift station and plans for draining and backfilling the village lagoon.
Board members reviewed several site options for the lift station required by the regionalization project and discussed logistics for dewatering and disposing of lagoon sludge. The minutes state that Mr. Dunn’s land already holds the necessary EPA permits to receive sludge, and the board considered that as one disposal option while also discussing alternatives.
The board recorded that, once drained, the lagoon will be backfilled using soil located on the north side of the property. No formal site selection or bid awards were recorded at the May 26 meeting; the board identified further exploration of options as the next step.
Why it matters: the lift station and lagoon work will change local sewer infrastructure and require permitting and disposal arrangements subject to environmental rules. The board did not adopt a final plan at the meeting and indicated additional evaluation is needed before contracting or construction.
Next steps: the board will continue to evaluate potential sites and disposal methods at future meetings.
