I am proud to announce that Dormont was selected \\#1 in the Building Community Partnerships category this year. Specifically, we were recognized for our “development of a collaborative partnership between residents and borough council to communicate, demonstrate and address stormwater management issues. The partnership, entitled Stormwater 101, supported community education efforts and increased support of Dormont’s stormwater management plan.”  \nCouncilpersons Onnie Costanzo, and Joan Hodson along with Stormwater Committee Chairman Frank Stumpo traveled to Harrisburg to receive this prestigious award on behalf of the Borough. Prior to the formal awards ceremony, Onnie, Joan and Frank were introduced on the floor of the Pennsylvania House of Representative by Delegate Dan Miller. Following their introduction, they were presented with a resolution from the House that congratulated the Borough of Dormont upon the meritorious honor which has been bestowed upon it; and offers best wishes for a continued tradition of success and leadership in local government initiatives.  \nI tell you all of this because not only is it so niceto see Dormont being recognized statewide for our accomplishments but mostly because water quality is the one major issue that we will all be hearing about more and more for the next several years. Here in Dormontand Allegheny County wide- we are wrestling with how to deal with and pay for two water quality issues- both  \nrelated to the water quality of the Ohio River. They are: sewage collection and treatment and stormwater quality.  \nThe sewage collection and treatment issue is covered by a consent decree and paid for by our monthly sewer fees. That money will cover the $3-$4 billion dollar construction costs that ALCOSAN and its member communities will need to meet the Federal Clean Water Act requirements. While the major construction projects are some years off, the sewer investigation and sewer lining and other repair activities that you see around town are part of the consent decree and are paid for out of our sewer fund.  \nThe second water quality issue is stormwater. In Dormont, the problems are: 1) localized flooding and 2) the Federal Clean Water Act water quality standards that we must meet for the stormwater that we dump into Saw Mill Run. We have engineering cost estimates to fix our largest flooding problems in the Athens Alley and Latonia Avenue neighborhoods of approximately $1 million. We must fix these problems because it is the right thing to do for our neighbors.  \nWe must deal with the quality of the water that we dump into Saw Mill Run because it is also the right thing to do and because we are under state and Federal government mandates to do so. Specifically, we are being required to reduce the sediment that we contribute from 90 tons/year to 22 tons/year and to reduce the nutrients (phosphorous) that we contribute by 95% .  \nHowever, unlike the sanitary sewer repairs and upgrades, we have no fund to draw from to deal with the stormwater issues-either the flooding or the water  \nquality mandates. As you will recall, our Stormwater Committee and Council have been analyzing and studying this issue for a year. We will present the results of those studies as well as recommendations to you in a public workshop format sometime later this month so that we can get your comments and input before Council makes its final decision on how to proceed.  \nWillard “Bill” McCartney Council President  \nNSHISIIDESSUEx  \nA Note From The Mayor .............. 2  \nSenator Wayne Fontana .............. 3  \nDormont Historical Society .......... 3  \nState Representativ","cbCaietaaLy9PDtC","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaietaaLy9PDtC","pdf",3612456,24,"English","# A Note From The Mayor\n# Governor’s Award Recognition\n## Stormwater 101 Partnership\n# Water Quality Challenges\n## Sewage Collection and Treatment\n## Stormwater Quality Mandates\n# Upcoming Public Workshop\n## Stormwater Committee Findings","[{\"question\":\"What recognition did Dormont receive in Summer 2015 Volume 26 Issue 2?\",\"answer\":\"Dormont was selected #1 in the Building Community Partnerships category for its “Stormwater 101” collaborative partnership between residents and borough council.\"},{\"question\":\"What water-quality issues does Dormont face related to the Ohio River?\",\"answer\":\"Dormont and Allegheny County address sewage collection and treatment and stormwater quality, both tied to improving conditions affecting the Ohio River.\"},{\"question\":\"What requirements are imposed for stormwater, and what will happen next?\",\"answer\":\"Dormont is required to reduce sediment and phosphorus contributions, and the borough will present stormwater study results and recommendations in a public workshop to gather community input before council decides how to proceed.\"}]","Summer 2015 Volume 26 Issue 2 - Dormont Stormwater Initiative Update | PDF",37]
