WHEREAS, the City of Kenai does understand some of the problems
that the Kenai Peninsula Borough has in undertaking the

WHEREAS, the Kenai Peninsula Borough has received the
feasibility investigation on the Septage/Solid Waste Codisposal
Incinerator by Weston Designers, Consultants and tryck, Nyman,
' and Hayes, Inc., Engineers, Planners and Surveyors, and
_ WHEREAS, the City of Kenai has studied the feasibility
investigation report and is still not convinced that the Beaver
Creek site is the proper site for a Septage/Solid Waste
Codisposal Incineration plant, and
WHEREAS, the City of Kenai feels that a more indepth analysis be
made of other alternative sites throughout the Borough.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
KENAI, ALASKA, that Resolution No. 84-80 be rescinded and
declared null and void and that the City of Kenai now go on
record as not being in support of tine Septage/Solid Waste
Codisposal Incineration Project in the Beaver Creek area because
of the following reasons:
1. Even though the Kenai Peninsula Borough has told the City of
Kenai that no septage or solid waste nor the ash from such
waste will be deposited on the site of the project, most of
the consultants feasibility investigation report is an
attempt to justify and recommend the disposal of septage
waste on site. The Kenai Peninsula Borough has paid far a
feasibility study that deals mainly with on-site disposal of
septage waste and therefore it is obviously still
considering on-site disposal. This is in direct opposition
to stipulation No. 1 of Resolution No. 84-80 which we are
rescinding.
2. The Kenai Peninsula Borough has not made a grant application
to Lt~t Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation
and/or the Environmental Protection Agency for the extension
of the Kenai municipal sewer system to the project site for
handling washed down water and waste water at the site. The
Kenai Peninsula Borough has not made any attempt to obtain
funds to run a sewer interceptor line to the site which is
in opposition to stipulation No. 2 of Resolution No. 84-n0
which we are rescinding.
3. The Kenai Peninsula Borough has not made a statement
concerning the closing and rehabilitation of their existing
landfill located on Redoubt Avenue within the City of
Kenai. The Kenai Peninsula Borough has not only failed to
declare their intent to close the landfill, but has in fact,
stated such landfills will be needed for some time in the
future. The Kenai Peninsula Borough has failed to adhered
to stipulation No. 3 of Resolution No. 84-80 which we are
hereby rescinding.
PASSED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF KENAI, ALASKA, this 2nd day
of January, 1985.

CITY OF KENAI
RESOLUTION N0. 84 - 80
A RESOLUTION OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF KENAI, ALASKA,
GIVING CITY OF KENAI SUPPORT TO THE KENAI PENINSULA BOROUGH
• SEPTAGE/SOLID WASTE CODISPOSAL INCINERATOR PROJECT IF, AND
ONLY IF, CERTAIN STIPULATIONS ARE ADHERED t0.
WHEREAS, the Kenai Peninsula Borough is presently having a
feasibility investigation done on the Septage/Solid Waste
Codisposal Incineration by Weston, Designers, Consultants, and
Tryck, Nyman, and Hayes, Inc., Engineers, Planners, and
Surveyors, and
WHEREAS, the City of Kenai understands some of the problems that
the Kenai Peninsula Borough has in undertaking their
responsibility of handling Septage/Solid Waste Disposal, and
WHEREAS, the Kenai Peninsula Borough is considering a site near
the City of Kenai's Well House No. 2 via access through City of
Kenai lands and right-of-ways.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
KENAI, ALASKA, that the City of Kenai go on record as being in
support of the Septage/Solid Waste Codisposal Incineration
Project if, and only if, the following stipulations are met.
1. No septage or solid waste nor the ash from such waste shall
be disposed of at the site of ti-e project due to the site
location being near Beaver Creek and the City of Kanfii's two
Well Houses and the fact that the site has a relatively high
water table. We ask that the ash or the residue be
transported elsewhere.
~. 2. The Kenai Peninsula Borough along with the Alaska Department
of Environmental Conservation and/or Environmental Protection
Agency shall fund the extension of the Kenai Sewer System to
' the project site to handle the washed down water and
wastewater generated on site. Again due to the high water
table and our artesian wells located in the area, the City of
Kenai does not want to see wastewater lagoons or injection of
this material back into the ground water. The City of Kenai
understands that the City will have to bear the cost of
maintenance and operation of the sewer line and treatment of
the wastewater (septage from outside the City) but feels that
the Kenai Peninsula Borough, Alaska Department of
Environmental Conservation, and/or EPA should handle the
Capital costs.

With the above listed stipulations being met, the City of Kenai
supports this project and will work together with the Kenai
Peninsula 8orough in applying for grant funds from the State and
Federal Governments in support of extendii;g the Kenai sewer
• system to handle the liquid waste from this facility.
