Unanimous vote, MAYOR AND COUNCIL ITEMS LEMMA Presentation In response to the City's request, LE IIIA representatives Mike Van Erdwyck and David IcNany described the natural technology of managing and growing duck weed on the surface of ponds and the use of a floating barrier grid system for the treatment of secondary rater sewage waste treatment. The spokesmen claimed that with duck weed, wastewater capacity can double, without any new ponds. The duck weed is a cover that groves between 1/4 to 1/2 inches thick, It thrives on nutrients found in the wastewater and it neutralizes odors. They compared the City of Colton's geographic size and needs to Boulder City in Nevada; Devil's Lake in North Dakota and Moorpark in Ventura, LEMMA is not an entire treatment. After raw waste goes into LEMMA, which includes ultra- violet disinfection, it proceeds to tertiary sand filter which prevents solids and algae from growing. It is the cost-effective way to go. There are three parts to the treatment: Planting, maintaining and harvesting. Mr, McNany informed that the present facility has 3 carousals for a total capacity to B ,million gallons. The LEMA would reduce use to one carousal and increase capacity to 8 gallons plus achieve nitrogen removal as required. It was assured that this system does not innpact tertiary or rix treatments, 0
