Summary

Chad McCleary of ION Environmental said he will handle a response to an Illinois EPA letter that flagged plant deficiencies and will seek an extension; the village and ION remain "hoping to connect to East Moline within the next six to nine months."

Chad McCleary of ION Environmental told the Carbon Cliff Board of Trustees that he will prepare the village's response to an Illinois Environmental Protection Agency letter documenting deficiencies from a June 18 plant review and will seek an extension for making required changes.

"Chad will handle our response letter to IL-EPA and see what kind of extension we can get with the changes. We are still hoping to connect to East Moline within the next six to nine months," the minutes state. The update framed the EPA letter as the principal near-term compliance task for the village's wastewater/water system vendor.

The board recorded no formal action beyond receiving the update. The planned connection to East Moline, if completed in the stated window, would change the village's operational arrangement for the plant; the minutes do not provide technical or financial details for the connection or a timetable for required permitting or approvals.
