Mr Gill informed the board Mr. Pompo has started the condemnation process for the two remaining easements that need to be obtained. Mr Dingman updated the board on the status of the project along with PAWC’s status to complete their portion. The board requested staff to reach out to PAWC to try to get an exact timing for their portion and then requested that staff update our portion’s timing and present at the next meeting. 
 
Bold and Beautiful Project PADEP Response (Longview Management)
Mr Gill presented a letter dated February 24, 2017 from the PADEP and informed the board that the letter was in response to the Planning Exemption request that was made for the Bold and Beautiful Salon project that is being proposed at 3225 East Lincoln Highway. Mr Gill informed the board that staff has a concern with the last comment on page 1 of the letter which states “Please be advised, no further processing of application mailers will take place in this shopping center until Caln Township has taken over the ownership, operation, and maintenance of the pump station serving this shopping”. Mr Gill also informed the board that he is in conversation with Longview Management, PADEP and Mr Pompo to come to some resolution that would satisfy the PADEP and have the comment removed. After further discussion the board by consensus agreed that the shopping center is a commercial property which has the resources to maintain the station and has an O&M Agreement in place for the station with the authority and the authority has no interest to taking over the ownership, operation, and maintenance of the pump station serving this shopping center.
​
2015 Chapter 94 Report
Mr. Gill presented and reviewed the 2016 Chapter 94 Annual Sewage Report which is the yearend report for the sewer system and calculates the flows. 
 
WAWA/ Reeceville Road Project Update

Pump Station. The operation and maintenance agreement, we currently have, with Brandywine Hospital will no longer be required for the WAWA property, but will remain in effect for remaining Coatesville Hospital Corp. property. After discussion a motion was made by Mrs. Bernard and second by Mr. DiSario to authorize the Chairman to sign the Termination of Pump Station Operation and Maintenance Agreement, regarding WAWA/Reeceville. Vote passed 5-0.
 
1557 Fisherville Road O&M Agreement for Grinder Pump
Mr Gill presented to the board an executed Operation and Maintenance Agreement for Grinder Pump System by the property owners for 1557 Fisherville Road. Mr Gill informed the board that the property had to connect to the sewer system by a grinder pump system, due to a stream crossing which wouldn’t allow them to get gravity.

Vote passed 5-0.

Mr Gill also stated that Mr. and Mrs. Kulp has plans to connect to the sewer line by the end of May, 2017 and that the date depends on finding a contractor and also the weather. The board also requested Mr Gill to look at how many remaining properties will now be required to hook-up now that the phase 1 portion of Kings Grant was dedicated this evening and send out notices to connect. After discussion by the board on the timing of the extension request.
