The following letter from the Morse Chain Co. in regard to the discharge of acids into the sanitary sewer system was presented. Ithaca, New York October 3, 1947 Board of Public Works City Hall .� Ithaca, Newyork Gentlemen; During the latter part of August representatives of this company- met with your sewer committee„ the 6ity Attorney and Superintendent of Public Vforks. There was presented at that time some evidence of damage or potential damage to certain sewer installations by reason o'f acid contained in spent pickling liquor dumped at intervals in connection with our manufacturing processes., We felt at thattime that insufficient facts were at hand to permit us to, determine the exact nature -and seriousness of the problem or the steps necessary in its solution. We accordingly requested an extension -of time to-' permittechnical study; this request was granted by your Board upon the 'recommendation of your committee. Immediately thereafter, we arranged to secure the serives of WoH. and L, ll. Betz of Philadelphia, leading consultants in this field, for the purpose of securing complete technical information and re- commcndations as to possible treatment. Mr, Max U. Priester, of the Betz. Company, was i'n Ithaca on September 11 and 12 and Sampled the sewage in lines loading from our plant to the disposal plant; these samples wire taken once during the discharge of pickling waste and again in the absence of this discharge.. Based on this study, Betz has recommended to us that we treat our pickling waste with a neutralizing agent at our plant and has suggest- ed a method for acomplishing this result without creating other wastes presenting new treatment problems. On the basis of this report, I have recommended the installation of the necessary equipment for neutralizing our acid wastes. This process would be effective on a year round basis. We are informed that this treatment will substantially reduce the chlorine demand previously found troublesome, and that a chlorine residual acceptable to the State Health Department can be maintained without the excessive chlorination now required during the summer months, tiro are prepared to order the necessary equipment at once and begin (neutralizing as soon as delivery can be obtained, if the proposal is acceptable to your board. Specifically, we wish your approval of the following; ~ 14' That the delivery to your sewers of our industrial wasts with all acids neutralized is acceptable. 2. That the present arrangement of additional chlorination etthe sow;;r plant (the cost of additional materials being reimbursed by Morse Chain) will bo discontinued. 4 Adjourned Regular Meeting »3- Oct, 15, 1947 This proposal will result in increased expense to us for matcriala, in addition to the cost of the necessary equipment. However, in view of the technical findings of our engineer and our consultants, we feel that your request is reasonable and that we should comply accordingly, We hope that this will provide a permanent solution to probl.;ms arising from our industrial wastes. Upon receipt of your approval of the foregoing proposal„ we will proceed immediately. We wish to express our appreciation for the cooperation and courtes- ies extended our engineers by Mr. Laverty, Mr. Carpenter and the staff of the Sewer Department. Yours very truly, Carl W. Vail " The Commissioners expressed appreciation of the efforts to correct the situation on the part of the Morse Uhain Co. and it was moved, By Comm, Luhr; sec. by Comm. Hull Resolved, that the delivery to the sanitary sewers of industrial wastes with all acids neutralized is acceptable, provided all other rules and regulations are complied with# Further, that the present arrangement of additional chlorination at the sewer plant, the cost of which is being reimbursed by the Morse Chain Co. be discontinued when neutral acids are discharged, ands Be It Further Resolved, that the time during which untreated acids from the Morsb. Chain Co. may be discharged into the sanitary sewers be and hereby is extended for a period of 90 days. Unanimously Carried.
