The basis of an estimated population equivalent (PE) is 100 gallons of sewage per day, containing 0.17 pounds of biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) and 0.20 pounds of suspended solids (SS).

Therefore, according to the Title 35 Subtitle C Section 370.520 (2a) of the Illinois Recommended Standards for Sewage Waters (November 1997), it is recommended that new domestic systems be designed to meet the following minimum standards with respect to Organic Design:

At least 204 mg/L of BOD - assuming a BOD of 0.17 pounds per capita per day and a per capita flow of 100 gallons per day.

At least 240 mg/L of SS - assuming an SS of 0.20 pounds per capita per day and a per capita flow of 100 gallons per day.

For example, according to the Illinois Recommended Standards, a single-family dwelling is allocated a PE value of 3.5. Thus, an average of 350 gallons of wastewater is discharged from the dwelling per day, containing a total of approximately 0.60 pounds BOD and 0.7 pounds SS.

Mr. Boldt reviewed the Village of Antioch's P.E. map and stated that the village's P.E. is at 85% of capacity. Currently there is 2420 P.E. available with 180 of that now the fourth phase of Tiffany Farms. There are 782 P.E. available in Heron Harbor. At this time, those are the only two that are in village at this point. Mr. Boldt also reviewed some areas that are not in the village. Administrator Wells said that we can allocate P.E. as long as we don't go over the numbers. Mr. Boldt indicated that was correct. John Boldt stated there are two types of status. When you get to 80% it is considered "critical review" and the EPA will review it closer. The next category is at 90% and is considered "restricted status", which means they will look at it even closer. Normally, sewer service is based on first come first serve. The EPA at one time discouraged what amounts to selling P.E. to parcels. A lot of times the development falls through and parcels are tagged without being used. It's now an informal allocation, a planning situation. Mr. Boldt also stated that we look at our inflow records every six months. Capacity is based on the average daily flow from the three driest months over the last twelve month period and then add in all permits issued to come up with the P.E. number. We do that calculation every six months. Currently, we are still hovering around the 85%. We should have a report from the EPA by the end of this month showing the trends, BOD's and SS. Outside of the numbers listed, any other new development we would have to either make a plan to expand the treatment plant or they would have to provide their own or plan it some other way. Regarding treatment plant expansion, we are a very restricted site. About a year ago we looked at what we can expand at the treatment plant to based on the site and redoing the technology of the treatment system. We can't really expand anymore using the treatment technology that we have provided in the early 1990's. We've looked into an alternative technology, which would give a smaller footprint of the same treatment amount. We felt that we could treat an average daily flow up to 3 millions gallons per day. So we roughly doubled the capacity. We are restricted to what we can deposit now, if we were to change that, we would need a governmental body to go along with that increase. John Boldt briefly discussed the facility planning area (FPA) and stated that property could be annexed, but they wouldn't be in our FPA. So, we would have to get a FPA change before we could serve them into our plan. Annexation requests does not require our service if they are not in our existing FPA.

Administrator Wells stated that it is up to property owners to request annexation. However, if they are not in our FPA, if other governmental bodies agree, we could provide service from the county or Fox Lake, which would allow us to expand our treatment plant to service to the east or the west. John Boldt stated that he doesn't believe there are any legal obligations to provide P.E. allocation to certain parcels because it is designated on our P.E. Map as a planning process.

A motion was made by Trustee Larson, seconded by Trustee Porch to send the letters and certificates of appreciation to Mr. Ted Axton and Mr. Tom Casey for their contribution and service to the Village of Antioch. On roll call, the vote was:
YES: 5; Pierce, Larson, Caulfield, Porch and Hanson.
NO: 0.
ABSENT: 1; Foresta.
THE MOTION CARRIED.

Trustee Larson stated that the letter and certificate is nice, however, she felt that a telephone call to Mr. Axton and Mr. Casey informing them that they are not being reappointed to the commissions would have been more appropriate.

A motion was made by Trustee Hanson, seconded by Trustee Pierce to appoint Bruce Ahlquist as commissioner to the Police and Fire Board. On roll call, the vote was:
YES: 4; Pierce, Caulfield, Porch and Hanson.
NO: 0.
PASS: 1; Larson.
ABSENT: 1; Foresta.
THE MOTION CARRIED.

Attorney Don Anderson stated that Neumann Homes is not a new meeting before the Planning and Zoning Board. This is a continued meeting from last summer. This will give the citizens of Antioch an opportunity to appear and voice their support or objections they may have. Essentially, Neumann Homes has completed its presentation, but they plan to have all their experts and consultants available for questions or comment. The Planning and Zoning does intend to go through the procedure to approve or disapprove this P.U.D. If approved, it will be forwarded to the Village Board. If it is not approved, that is within the purview of the Planning and Zoning Board. Mr. Anderson stated that whatever the village's obligation may or may not be, we do have an obligation to individuals, such as Neumann Homes, to bring that proposal to the point of decision. That is what we're intending to do now. Ms. Guy asked why the meeting was scheduled for a different night from the Planning and Zoning Board's regular scheduled meeting. Attorney Anderson stated the continued meeting was scheduled based upon the availability of Neumann Homes and Planning and Zoning Board members. The meeting is scheduled for 6:30 p.m. on June 25 at the Antioch High School to accommodate those interested in attending the meeting.
