Project Feasibility Narrative Project Feasibility Narrative What community needs will this project address?* Prepare a brief narrative describing the proposed project. The City of Mount Pleasant has several issues with inflow and infiltration in the city's sanitary sewer system. The city has made several efforts to curtail the problem, but it remains an issue, especially in the Snipe Run Sewer-shed, the city's worst area for inflow-infiltration overloading of the sanitary sewer system and the storm sewers. This causes backup of water into basements and overflows from the sewers. The Snipe Run Sewer-shed is also the cities central collection system and among the oldest sewer infrastructure in Mount Pleasant. The sanitary sewers in the Snipe Run Sewer-shed are in bad condition from installation methods and deterioration over a century of use. Pipe conditions that make the proper operation and maintenance of the sewers impossible include: Broken Pipes Misaligned joints that catch debris in the wastewater and sometimes create backups; Improper taps for service lines, sometimes protruding so far into the pipe the cleaning equipment or camera cannot pass or inspect the tap Sagging flow lines allow water to stand in the pipe Manholes made of brick that frequently cause clogging Sewer locations under residences - a situation unique to the Snipe Run Sewer-shed exists because the sewers were constructed along the waterways where they could serve the most area and installation required less digging; people were allowed to construct homes over the sewers, and there are no recorded easements that allow work in the back yards to do proper maintenance or repairs of the sewer without disturbing the neighborhood, buying those homes, and relocation of the residents. The city's Northeast Lagoon cannot provide adequate treatment, so effluent quality does not always comply with Water Quality Limits of the NPDES Permit. Most difficulties are related to the influent volume and rainfall causes inflow and infiltration into the sewers resulting in large volumes of influent, which overloads the lagoon. While weather cannot be controlled, there are options for covering the lagoon and the volume of wastewater going into the lagoon can also be controlled. What specific outcomes will result from completion of the project?* The City of Mount Pleasant will be able to comply with the NPDES Permit , discharging treated water that meets the Water Quality Limits, while providing good, cost-effective sewer service for the residents and businesses of the community. How has the number of beneficiaries been documented?* The beneficiaries of the project are the residents and businesses that are located within the Snipe Run Sewer-shed area of Mount Pleasant. The number of beneficiaries has been determined by a count of the residents and businesses in this geographically defined area by the City of Mount Pleasant. This information was taken from US Census data and sewer user information collected by the City of Mount Pleasant. How has the LMI benefit been documented?* The City of Mount Pleasant has conducted a Low to Moderate Income Survey using guidelines specified by the Iowa Economic Development Authority. The survey results indicate that there are a total of 3,010 households in 4/4/2013 10:29 AM IowaGrants 9 of 18 https://www.iowagrants.gov/getApplicationPrintPreview.do?documentP... the project area. The number of households contacted for the survey was 335. The city received an 84% response rate to the survey and it was determined through the data collected that 63.44% of those surveyed are below the LMI income threshold. This number indicates the City of Mount Pleasant is eligible to receive Community Development Block Grant funds for the sewer project outlined in this application. How soon will the project proceed if an award is made?* Considerable planning has taken place over several years regarding this project. Provided all environmental and archeological clearances are met, and construction permits issued - the construction of the project is scheduled to begin in October, 2013. If applicable, has a specific site been determined for the project?* Yes Will there be acquisition of property related to the project?* No Is there documented local planning/citizen support for the project?* Yes Are there formal studies by outside agencies that support the project?* Yes Describe the project owner's capacity to operate/maintain the project and continue its viability after CDBG assistance. For a stormwater project, address how any green infrastructure will be maintained, if applicable.* City personnel are responsible for all maintenance activities and record keeping. All regular maintenance/supply expenditures are controlled by the City Clerk and Public Works Director, and submitted to review and approval by the City Council at regular monthly meetings. Approval of capital improvement expenditures is the sole responsibility of the City Council. Public hearings, competitive bid procurement, and IDNR construction permits and approved plans and specifications are required for all wastewater projects. The city provides sewer service for a minimum plus use fee. The City may need to revise their sewer rate structure based on IDNR recommendations to provide for debt service for this project. The City does have a public water system, thus meters are available. Monthly sewer bills are mailed to users. Unpaid bills are assessed an additional charge. Sewer revenue funds are deposited into the Sewer Utility Account, which includes regular bills, rental deposits, and arrears with interest.

Project Impact Narrative What is the potential economic/community development impact of the project on the area? For a stormwater project, what size or quantity of rainfall event (i.e, 100-year storm, first 1.5 inches of rain, etc.) will the green and/or gray infrastructure manage? Green infrastructure utilizes practices like bioswales and pervious surfaces, and gray infrastructure utilizes curb, gutter, storm sewer pipe, etc.* If you are applying for a stormwater project that utilizes green infrastructure, please also reference the Green Infrastructure Tip Sheet for further items to discuss in the narrative. The project has the potential to greatly improve a large area of sanitary sewer for the community of Mount Pleasant. The Snipe Run Sewer-shed encompasses some of the oldest sewer infrastructure in the community. The replacement of the collection system will greatly improve the sewer system and assist Mount Pleasant with meeting Water Quality limits of the NPDES Permit. The project will allow Mount Pleasant to have a stable, functioning sewer system which will be of great benefit to the community and the economy of Mount Pleasant. Who will be the project beneficiaries?* The project beneficiaries will be the residents and businesses located within the Snipe Run Sewer-shed and also the residents of the entire Mount Pleasant community. This project is located in the Snipe Run Sewer-shed, which is the central portion of the cities sanitary sewer system and also the oldest infrastructure. The benefits of this project will stretch beyond the immediate project area. Have cooperative approaches/sharing with other area communities been considered?* The proposed project will address sanitary sewer deterioration in the Snipe-Run Sewer-shed in Mount Pleasant. Because it involves eliminating overloading of the current sanitary sewer system it is not feasible or an option to consider cooperative approaches/sharing with other communities. Why are CDBG funds essential to the project?* The City of Mount Pleasant has completed several improvements to its sanitary sewer system over the past 50 years that come close to a $25 million investment, with little to no assistance from grant funds. Property taxpayers in the community have borne all of the cost of all previous sewer infrastructure improvements. Sewer user fees will need to be raised in order to complete this project with the help of CDBG funds. To complete this project without the assistance of CDBG funds will place too high of a burden on property taxpayers in the Mount Pleasant community. How would the project affect current and future land use patterns?* The City of Mount Pleasant has a solid land use plan in place. This project will not affect current land use patterns as it will provide repairs to the current sanitary sewer system in the Snipe-Run Sewer shed. There is no plan with this project to increase the capacity of the current sanitary sewer system - which could have an impact on future land use patterns. Is the site within the city limits?* This project is located within the city limits of Mount Pleasant. The site for this project is Jay Street in Mount Pleasant. The Snipe Run Sewer-shed includes some of the oldest portions of the Mount Pleasant community. The earliest sewers in this part of the system were likely built before 1920. Is the project appropriate for the community’s size, including expected population trends?* The project is not an expansion of the current sanitary sewer system, but rather a project to address inflow and infiltration issues in the current sanitary system, specifically for the Snipe-Run Sewer-shed. This project is not being undertaken in order to increase the current system capacity and there is not excess capacity being 4/4/2013 10:29 AM IowaGrants 11 of 18 https://www.iowagrants.gov/getApplicationPrintPreview.do?documentP... planned for this project. The population of Mount Pleasant has been projected to remain steady over the next several years. Will the project have significant excess capacity?* The project has been sized to be of maximum benefit to the Snipe Run Sewer-shed and does not include excess capacity in order to promote future development. The project is being proposed in order to replace an area of sanitary sewer infrastructure that has become most troublesome to repair and maintain for the community of Mount Pleasant. How well is the project targeted for maximum impact on a geographic area/specific group?* The project is located along Jay Street in Mount Pleasant. The replacement of the sanitary sewer in this location will have the greatest impact upon the Snipe-Run Sewer-shed area in Mount Pleasant - which is the location of some of the oldest sewer collection infrastructure in the entire community. This area is the central service area in Mount Pleasant. This location was selected because it has the greatest need for replacement and because the area identified for replacement will have the greatest impact on the community. Were other options explored? Describe options considered and why they were rejected.* The City of Mount Pleasant considered five (5) options before deciding upon the best course of action for this project. All of the alternatives for this project are listed here - including the project that this application is based upon: 1. Expansion of the lagoon - The Lagoon is close to Big Creek and any expansion of city property would be in the flood plain and some environmental issues could be signficant, including: a. potential discoveries of Native American or Pioneer discoveries in the area; b. proximity of the site to residential development and limitations on expansion with clearance requirements to inhabited buildings; c. the adjacent property is remnant of a large farmland tract acquired for highway construction, used to mitigate wildlife habitat, and could not easily be acquired for lagoon use; d. the aerated lagoon treatment process as a continuously discharging system is unlikely to always meet the stringent Water Quality discharge limits on Big Creek, particularly as it is currently affected by inflow and infiltration. 2. Pump all wastewater from the Lagoon site back to the 'new plant' so the lagoon could be abandoned - a. the waterwater pumped by the Hamlin Street Lift Station would all be repumped at least doubling the cost of transporting that sewage; b. a new pumping station at the lagoon would be an big expense, made even more expensive if stormwater going to the lagoon is repumped back to the new plant; c. the cost of a forcemain from the NE Lagoon to a sewer on the system with the capacity to handle that additional flow would be huge, possibly requiring a forcemain to the transportation sewer draining directly to the Heather Branch Lift Station, without any specific routing a distance of at least four (4) miles. This option would allow for the treatment of all wastewater at the new treatment plant with the need for only one NPDES permit and the savings of operating and maintaining the NE Lagoon system would be significant. However the cost to transport all of the water that is now transported to the NE Lagoon would be huge. The cost to build a large lift station and enough forcemain to transport the sewage back to the community can easily be projected to exceed $2.5 million. The operating cost of the lift stations will continue and the city would still have a worn out interceptor sewer on Snipe Run. 3. Pump from the Hamlin Street Lift Station to the "new plant" - a. this option would still require replacement of the Jay Street interceptor to carry sewage from the collector sewers in the south half of the Snipe Run Sewer Shed, and the cost to build a smaller interceptor on Jay Street would not be substantially less than extending the 24" gravity sewer at the Hamlin Street lift station. There is not much advantage to this alternative because it still requires reconstruction of the Jay Street interceptor and the Hamlin Street Lift Station to continue to operate. 4. Gravity Interceptor Sewer from Hamlin Street Lift Station to the 24" Interceptor allows diversion of influent to the Hamlin Street Lift Station to the Saunders Branch Lift Station; b. replaces the undersized and deteriorated Snipe Run interceptor from the existing 24" near Green and Locust to Madison and Hamlin intersection; c. a big price tag but probably the most cost effective solution; d. still have gravity sewer flows to the NE Lagoon, but considerably reduced and less inflow and infiltration is likely because the gravity sewer is PVC pipe with gasket joints; e. save operating costs of the Hamlin Street Lift Station by shutting it down; f. with flows considerably reduced to the NE Lagoon, the feasibility of pumping that wastewater back to this gravity sewer to flow to the plant is far more feasible, so the city would have only one plant and one permit and one discharge to manage and monitor. 5. Build the gravity sewer from Hamlin Street Lift Station to the 24" interceptor at Green and Locust, as proposed in Option #4, plus build a new Northeast Lift Station to intercept the remainder of the flows to the NE Lagoon and pump back to the Hamlin Street Lift Station site - a. all flows would go to the new plant; b. a big price tag, but the cost effective portion of this alternative would be the elimination of operation costs of the NE Lagoon and the Hamlin Street Lift Station; c. use the Hamlin Street forcemain with reversed direction of flow to save money and transport the wastewater back to the new interceptor. After careful consideration, the City of Mount Pleasant chose option #4 as the solution to this issue. 4/4/2013 10:29 AM IowaGrants 12 of 18 https://www.iowagrants.gov/getApplicationPrintPreview.do?documentP... How does the project promote orderly, compact development?* The replacement of the Snipe Run Interceptor system does not represent an expansion of the current capacity of the Mount Pleasant sewer system. The project will replace deteriorated infrastructure and does not encourage development, but rather will stabilize the current interceptor system. Survey Tabulation Results Is the Survey Tabulation Results required?* Yes Month and year the survey was conducted September, 2012 Description of the survey method Mailed out survey went to every other household. used Total number of households in the project area 3010 Number of households in the project area that were contacted (include contacts with no answer) 335 Total number of households in the project area should equal the number of households contacted unless a random survey was done. If the two numbers do not equal, please explain. A random survey was completed for this project. Number of usable responses 284 Percent of households responding 85.0 How many persons were below the LMI income figure? 394 How many persons were above the LMI income figure? 227 Percent of persons below the LMI income figure 63.45 Percent of persons above the LMI income figure 37.0 Total number of persons in the project area 8751 Total number of LMI Persons benefiting 5552 MUST BE 80% TO BE VALID (For community-w ide benefit projects, use 2010 census population figure.) If respondents were asked other questions in addition to income, provide a breakdown of responses by number and percent of the total responding. In addition to the income, respondents were asked if they would be in favor of the City of Mount Pleasant pursuing the project and of the 387 households responding, 386 indicated they were in favor of the project. Community Development and Housing Needs Assessment 4/4/2013 10:29 AM IowaGrants 13 of 18 https://www.iowagrants.gov/getApplicationPrintPreview.do?documentP... Community Development and Housing Needs of LMI Persons* The City of Mount Pleasant along with the Mount Pleasant Chamber Alliance have been working for the past year to improve the housing stock of the community in order to benefit the low to moderate income population and the expected population in the future. Community members, city staff, Chamber staff, Council of Government staff met with a developer recently to discuss the need in Mount Pleasant for more multi-family housing that would be affordable for lower wage earners. A local manufacturer of marketing materials will be substantially increasing the payroll and the average wage being considered is $9/hour. This makes the need for safe, adequate housing important for the community. Transit opportunities for the workforce were also discussed at these meetings. Other Community Development and Housing Needs* The City of Mount Pleasant has received grant funding in the past in order to improve the available housing stock, specifically multi-family housing units. The city continues to work toward improved quality, affordable housing for all residents of Mount Pleasant. The city is also served by the Southeast Iowa Regional BUS service. The City continues to find ways that its residents can utilize SEIBUS service for their transportation needs. Planned or Potential Activities to Address Housing and Community Needs* The city plans to seek out all forms of grant assistance that will provide incentives for property developers to invest in increasing the communities availability of affordable housing. The City also has a plan to address the communities infrastructure by applying for CDBG funding when appropriate.

The recent merger of Alaniz, LLC and MetroGroup Corp. has brought a rush of excitement to Mount Pleasant. Among our most important employers when they were separate, these two companies together form a powerful engine for economic growth. The good news does create some challenges, albeit desirable ones. The City of Mount Pleasant simply is unable to meet the workforce demands of an expanding Alaniz MetroGroup Marketing Services with its current population. As a result, a new wave of residents is already arriving. The difficulty becomes providing housing for these men and women that is safe and attractive. Anticipating several years ago that a housing shortage could occur, city and county leaders identified an excellent location for a multi-family apartment complex on countyowned property near two U.S. four-lane highways, a city park, and one of Mount Pleasant’s largest grocery stores. That this site is within one mile of Alaniz MetroGroup only increases the advantages. Local officials are now committed to identifying a development partner with the expertise and resources to build and operate a housing complex that will make the entire community proud. Brinshore Development, with its knowledge of southeast Iowa and reputation for success, was foremost on our list, and we look forward to working with your organization in the near future. Please call my cell phone, 319.537.1550, or reach me by email, kmiller@mountpleasantiowa.org, with any questions.
