SUPPLEMENTAL

STATEMENT

(by J.

n.

Dumelle):

The annual

cost of opera~Haq

and maintaining the phosphorus

removal

equipment

for

Shelbyv:rt

is

estimated

at

$44,200.

Shelbyville is

listed as havir~

a

population of

5,259.

The

annual per

capita

cost

is

then.

~out

$8.40 or $33.60 for a family

of four.

There

is a

possible

way

to

reduce

the

costs

of the

chemicals

for phosphorus

controL

If waste

pickle liquor

can

be obtained

from steel

making

plants then

this material can be used~

A

steel

making waste can become a needed chemical and perhaps can he

obtained for

just

the cost

of

hauling

it.

I would

urge Sheibyville to contact area steel

companies in

Illinois and Indiana

and

services such as the IEPA’s Waste

Material Exchange

to see

if waste pickle liquor

is in fact

available at costs
