Graf, Jr. iv ABSTRACT AND BENEFITS Abstract: The sewers in Seattle’s Broadview neighborhood, built in the 1950s, experience significant inflow and infiltration. Intense wet weather events have resulted in sewer overflows into private residences and the environment and previous work indicates that the majority of this excess flow comes from infiltration. As a result, an infiltration reduction project was investigated to reduce overflows. To reduce that infiltration and achieve maximum success, all components of the sewer system – mainlines, maintenance holes, and private side sewers – have to be addressed. Seattle Public Utilities determined through a business case that to reduce infiltration, flood grouting was the most cost-effective, least-disruptive methodology. Flood grouting involves applying two chemicals in separate steps to treat an entire section of the sewer system between two maintenance holes, including the side sewers. The segment is filled completely to the maintenance hole rim and utilizes hydrostatic pressure by the chemical fluid to apply the grout to the system. To determine the success of the project, flow meters were installed in the system to document before and after conditions for modeling analysis. The effectiveness of this approach at reducing infiltration compared to the cost, the challenges associated with working on private property, and lessons learned are documented in this report. Benefits: Demonstrates in detail how to conduct a flood grouting project. Presents actual lessons learned from completing a flood grouting project. Includes how to calculate the effectiveness of the project. Shares Seattle Public Utilities business case methodology for approving projects. Describes the public outreach campaign used to gain public acceptance. Keywords: Flood grouting, infiltration, Sanipor, trenchless rehabilitation, sanitary sewers, flow monitoring, modeling.

By Walt North I hope you had plenty of chances to enjoy our northwest spo- radic sunshine. Summer is gone and fall is here with winter not far be- hind. In the blink of an eye, before winter arrives, the much anticipated COLA checks will be ours. We now have a brand new director for our retirement system. Please read about her in this newspaper issue. The ARSCE Board’s sincere thanks to Mel Robertson who, as Acting Director of the Re- tirement System, kept everything on track for active employees and we retirees. We had a wonderful luncheon at the Elks Club in Lake City this past September. The food was good, as usual, but the entertain- ment was excellent. This is the third time that ARSCE invited Debbie Dimitre of Patchwork Tales to perform. This time Debbie portrayed Eleanor Roosevelt. It is amazing that with very few props, Debbie transformed herself into our first politically active “First Lady.” ARSCE’s festive holiday party will be held at the Lake City Elks Club on Wednesday, December 12th, 2007. (See the sign-up form on the last page of this newspaper.) This is our big event for the year. We hope you will come and enjoy this holiday gala as we want your help to celebrate with those of us who will receive our first COLA ever.

  • Finance and Administrative Services
    Finance and Administrative Services 579 580 Finance and Administrative Services Section 1 – Overview The Finance and Administrative Services (FAS) Capital Improvement Program (CIP) is the department’s blueprint for planning, replacing, maintaining, remodeling and upgrading FAS-managed facilities and IT infrastructure. These assets are used by City departments, as well as certain nonprofit organizations that serve the public, to deliver critical services to Seattle residents. FAS’ proposed CIP includes appropriations for ongoing capital programs and discrete, one-time capital projects with multiyear durations. Multi-year projects are identified by multiple priorities, including City goals (e.g., greenhouse gas reduction, public safety), code compliance and severity of system deficiencies and importance to tenant department operations. Planned schedules and funding commitments for these types of multi-year projects are typically made every year in conjunction with the annual budget process. The six-year FAS 2021-2026 CIP includes approximately $119 million in funding for new and existing projects and programs. Section 2a – Thematic Priorities FAS is responsible for the operation and maintenance of approximately 3.2 million square feet of building space throughout the city, including municipal courts, police and fire facilities, shops and fleet maintenance facilities, high-rise office space in the civic core, parking garages and some of the City’s community-based public service facilities. FAS’ capital investments either improve or enhance the operational capacity of these mission-critical facilities and systems. FAS’ CIP addresses the following priorities: Asset preservation – As authorized in Ordinance 121642, FAS dedicates annual funding in the CIP to support the replacement of existing building systems, guided by strict policies to ensure those funds are used exclusively to preserve, extend or replace failing and existing components such as roofs, windows, structures, electrical capacity, boilers or other systems at the end of their useful lives.

  • Canadian Charities Giving to Indigenous Charities and Qualified Donees - 2018
    CanadianCharitylaw.ca/ RedskyFundraising.com/ Canadian charities giving to Indigenous Charities and Qualified Donees - 2018 By Sharon Redsky, Wanda Brascoupe, Mark Blumberg and Jessie Lang (May 31, 2021) We recently reviewed the T3010 Registered Charity Information Return database for 2018 to see how many gifts and the value of those gifts were made from Canadian registered charities to “Indigenous Charities” and certain Qualified Donees such as First Nation Governments or ‘Bands’ (listed as “municipal or public body performing a function of government in Canada”). Together we refer to them as “Indigenous Groups”. To identify Indigenous Groups, we reviewed the list with all grants over $30,000 and we also used terms and phrases such as: Indigenous, First Nation, Metis, Inuit, Indian, Indian Band, Nation, Tribal council, National Indian Brotherhood, etc.. We also used a list from the Indigenous Peoples Solidarity Fund by CanadaHelps developed by Wanda Brascoupe. We cut off the review at $30,000 because these larger grants are over 28,000 grants and also encompass about 90% of the value of grants made by Canadian charities to qualified donees. If an individual or corporation donates to an Indigenous Group, this would not be reflected in this article as we only have visibility as to registered charities making gifts to other qualified donees. We encourage others to either do a more comprehensive review or use different methodology. 1 CanadianCharitylaw.ca/ RedskyFundraising.com/ We believe that Indigenous led charities are vital in providing culturally appropriate services. There are numerous charities in Canada that are either Indigenous led or primarily serving Indigenous communities, but it is not always easily determinable who they are and how many there are.
