FOR THE SALT CREEK GRAVITY SEWER iNTERCEPTOR, AND THE WOLF
CANYON TRUNK SEWER
The consultant, Dudek & Associates, is in the process of finalizing the preliminary design
report for the Salt Creek Gravity Sewer Interceptor. The preliminary design report
identified an alignment for the trunk sewer that will ultimately form the basis of the final

would be attributable to the alignment and the necessary permits that would be required
for the approval of the project. Due to the current pace of development in the eastern
territories of the City, and the need to expedite the completion of the final design plans,
preparing the necessary environmental documents and processing the required permits
under a very challenging time constraint has made it necessary to expand the scope of
work of the consultant to meet the project objectives and deadlines.

and he would, therefore, abstain from discussing or voting on this matter.

were really needed.
