206 207 208 300 interceptor. Utilization of thepr'.~nt overkized interceptor storage capacity and programming of pump operations are included in the preferred alternative. Inflow/Infiltration problems of local collection systems should be analyzed'for cost effective removal. The "201" .study is to analyze .Blue Lake and Seneca sludge disposal problems and recommend a solution in the Development Program. Alternative Waste Management Systems Study is to identify and document on-site systems wastewater disposal problem areas ranging from small clusters to large clusters of homes. Alter- natives for adequate disposal and treatment of sewage are to be developed for these problem areas. Alternatives which provide for extending the Metropolitan sewerage system is not a pre- ferred 'alternative. The Metro Plant'study is to identify improvements that provide for a retrofit to the original treatment plant of a digital control system, including computer, rehabilitation of the 1938 plant facilities, a completely separate second power supply to insure protection against power failures and a floodproof access road. These projects would be included in the March 1, 1979, Development Program. The Metro plant service area study is to identifY improvements to the East Minnehaha Avenue interceptor in that segment wh~re the interceptor is failing to serve properly. The Battle Creek/ WONE Interceptor Improvement study dealing with the segment from the Metropolitan interceptor to the Tanners Lake area is to be included in the 1979 or subsequent Development Program. The treatment plant study is to exa3nine various levels of treatment and their cost and benefit to the receiving stream. A three-year record of water quality of the Mississippi River is to be completed before any improvements to the treatment process is implemented. The System-wide Analysis and Alternatives Assessment study is to analyze and assess on a system-wide basis all of the alter- natives and recommendations for improvements of the system developed in the various "201" studies. Local cost appropriation and service availability charge are to be the subjects of system-wide studies to identify prob- lems and provide recommendations. The }~CC shall perform as part of the System-wide Analysis a study of whether to include local costs in the cost-effective analysis and all of the ramifications of doing so~ This study should be completed as soon as possible so appropriate approval~ from all reviewing agencies may be obtained and the subarea- consultants are consistent in handling this matter. Studies To Be Conducted By The Metropolitan Waste Control Commission
