Emergency Management. Currently the Department of Fire Services is the responsible county agency to respond to rescue
events. This is an update to the ordinance to properly reflect from where the service is being provided. Due to the changes
in the Fire Service over the past few years, the fire departments are now better prepared to provide this service to the
citizens and visitors of New Hanover County.

SUBJECT:
Spray Dryer Absorber for WASTEC's Unit 3A
BRIEF SUMMARY:
Staff is currently negotiating with companies who have provided quotes on an RFP to replace the Unit 3A spray dryer
absorber (scrubber). In order to meet the agenda deadline for the August 4, 2003, meeting, this is being submitted without
specifics. Those specifics will be provided as soon as they are received.
As a result of the May 31st storm Unit 3A suffered a catastrophic failure to its spray dryer absorber. Subsequent to the
failure, analysis of the structure's metal thickness revealed that replacement is the only viable option.
The spray dryer absorber is part of the air pollution control equipment. Specifically, it reduces the amount of acid gases (i.e.,
sulfur dioxide and hydrogen chloride) by injecting a fine mist of lime into the flue gas as it travels towards the stack. The
combination of lime and acids form a salt (called flyash) which collects in the next pollution control equipment, the
baghouse, for disposal. This specific failure has rendered WASTEC's largest combustor (300 tons of municipal solid waste
per day) inoperable.
RECOMMENDED MOTION AND REQUESTED ACTIONS:
A recommendation and request for contract will be submitted at the August 4, 2003, meeting. Information will be provided
as soon as received.

Request for Participation for Oversizing Waterline
Market Street - Contract Number 03-0276
BRIEF SUMMARY:
Oak Landing Properties at Porters Neck, LLC is planning to construct a new shopping center at the southeast quadrant of
the intersection of Market Street and Porters Neck Road. They are asking for permission to extend the District's water line
460 linear feet along Market Street. The water line size needed by the developer is eight (8) inch. We are requiring a
sixteen (16) inch water line which will eventually be extended to the Bald Eagle Lane area and up to the Pender County
line.
The attached map gives an overview of the water system plan for the area and demonstrates how cooperation with
developers is resulting in construction of the water line at reduced cost to the District. The proposed water line for the
shopping center is shown in purple. The waterline section of green has been previously approved by the Board and is also
in cost sharing cooperation with a developer. Construction on the green section has just begun. The blue section is already
constructed in cooperation with a developer. The rest of the existing water system, not shown on the map, basically
extends from the blue section of pipe southwest through Marsh Oaks to Market Street.
The total cost for the sixteen (16) inch water line extension is $56,970.00. The cost for an eight (8) inch water line is
$25,060.00 The difference or the District's portion would be $31,944.00
RECOMMENDED MOTION AND REQUESTED ACTIONS:
I recommend that the request for the water line extension be granted and that the District participate in the oversizing of the
sixteen (16) inch water in the amount up to $31,944.00. In addition, please authorize the Chairman to execute the contract.

Through joint efforts with the City of Wilmington Fire Department, Cape Fear Community College and Wilmington
International Airport, the Department of Fire Service and County Fire Commission recommends that New Hanover County
proceed with contracting with Stewart-Cooper Newell Architects for the Master Planning of a joint multi-functional Training
Facility. The master planning process will identify several important site and building issues converging into one sensible
plan for a facility to train emergency responders. The plan will identify different phases of construction and associated cost
with each phase. The only obligation at this time is for the master plan itself. The City of Wilmington has agreed to pay
half. On June 2, 2003, the Board of Commissioners agreed to pay half of the total cost of the Master Plan not to exceed
$25,000.00. Construction phases will be determined as funding allows.
RECOMMENDED MOTION AND REQUESTED ACTIONS:
Staff recommends that project be awarded to Stewart-Cooper Newell Architects and Board of Commissioners authorization
for the County Manager to execute the contract (Contract is available in the County Manager's Office.)

Acquisition of Water System
Contract # 04-0050
Brookfield/Brierwood Subdivisions
Coastal Plain Utilities
BRIEF SUMMARY:
Many of the home owners in the referenced area partitioned the Commissioners to install a sewer system and new water
system. Construction of the systems was approved by the Commissioners.
The District has a contract in place to construct a sewer and water system which will replace the existing outdated water system
in the area. The existing privately owned water system which serves the area is outdated and is not in good repair in much of
the area.
The owner of the water system, Mr. Allie Moore, has asked that the District purchase the existing water system and wells.
Acquisition of the water system will allow the District's construction project to proceed without as many problems. One of the
wells will provide additional water for the District water system until the water treatment plant is built. There is also a portion of
the water system in Brierwood which may be good enough to incorporate into the new water system. Also included in the
purchase is the Old Oak Road tract of property which is located on Old Oak Road in Greenview Ranches.
The negotiated amount to acquire the water system and the lot (100' x 100') on Old Oak Road is $70,000.
The sale of the water system must receive final approval by the North Carolina Utility Commission.
RECOMMENDED MOTION AND REQUESTED ACTIONS:
Staff recommends that acquisition of the Brookfield/Brierwood water system is approved in the amount of $70,000. In
addition, please authorize the County Manager to execute the contract.
