Provide a clear description of the project to be financed in part by a Public Works Trust Fund loan. (Attach additional sheets if necessary): The projects consist constructing two (2) interceptor sewer pipelines. The first pipeline is the Southeast Sewer Interceptor. This pipeline connects to a $900,000 sewer pumping station currently under construction. The pipeline will extend easterly from the pump station approximately 11,000 feet and will be 18 to 30 inches in diameter with 30 manholes. The depth of the pipeline will vary from 8 to 30 feet. The pipeline will replace an old sewer lagoon treatment system at the Port of Pasco and septic tanks. The second pipeline is the Riverview Sewer Interceptor. This pipeline will connect to $2 million pipelines installed by the City in 19998. The pipeline will extend westerly approximately 15,000 feet from Road 56 to approximately Road 100. The pipeline will average 8 to 10 feet in depth and will be in some roadways and will have 35 manholes. The pipeline will replace septic tanks. Due to natural terrain, the pipelines will be layed at very flat grades. These flat grades dictate the need for the large pipeline sizes. 2. The term of this loan will be based on an engineer's certification of the expected useful life of the improvements, as stated below, or 20 years, whichever is less. If the local government prefers the term of its loan to be less than either 20 years or the useful life of the improvements, the preferred loan term should be indicated: years. 3. I, Robert J.
