Chief Operator DeMaria and I prepared a quotation to accept sewer discharge and sent to all bidders quoting the project. We have estimated that 1.6 million gallons of treated ground water will need to be disposed of. In addition to permit, site visit and testing fees, we have used our current septage rate of $0.10 per gallon for the pricing structure. If successful we have potential for additional revenues of up to $160,000
