Subject: Sanitary Sewer Capacity Available for Aramark's Proposed 2,5-acre Facility in the
. Hammer Industrial Park
Dear Sirs:
This letter is confirmation that as of the date of this letter there is currently available capacity in
the City's public sanitary sewer system serving the Hammer Industrial Park along 42"d Street in
Springfield to accommodate the following flows from the proposed Aramark 2.5-acre facility:
An estimated 3 GPM peak sanitary sewer flow rate for non-service water; and
An estimated 30 GPM total peak sanitary sewer flow rate.
,
As of the date of this letter, the sanitary sewer facilities in question can accommodate a peak
flow of 30 gallons per'minute based upon the system's original design capacity of about 5 GPM
per acre in the area. (Please note that these standards may not be the standards used for future
service planning.) Please understand that this level of use by Aramark would be substantially'
higher than was anticipated in the planning assumptions that led to the design and construction
of those facilities. Accordingly, you should understand that your request to develop a use that
will require this much sanitary sewer capacity may adversely affect the ability to develop other
properties you own that are served by thiS pump station. We cannot assure you that under
. future circumstances we would be able to conclude that sufficient sanitary sewer capacity exists
to permit those properties to develop to their highest and best use.
In the event that the requested estimated flow rates to the City's public sanitary sewer system
are allowed from the proposed Aramark facility during the City's land use review of the proposal,
the City will require the property owner to execute an Improvement 'Agreement with the City of
Springfield regarding the potential for upgrading the public sanitary sewer system, including the
lift station. The Agreement will obligate the property owner to pay, based upon the owner's
benefit, a proportionate share of the cost of the upgrade work should the City Council initiate a
Local Improvement District in the future to pay for these upgrades.
Sincerely,
~), Ii .
