<p> BWA “Vision” for the Pocono Watershed</p><p>A management entity (M.E.), such as a Pocono Watershed Municipal Authority, is formed to manage wastewater systems in the Pocono Watershed.</p><p>The M.E. would be the recipient of all federal and state grants and loans for the Pocono watershed wastewater needs.</p><p>The M.E. would be the entity which borrows any additional funds needed, to be repaid with user fees.</p><p>The M.E. could –  Buy the land recently purchased by sanofi and lease it back to them.</p><p> Build any new systems needed and operate all wastewater treatment systems in the watershed, including sewage treatment plants, land application systems, septic system management programs, etc. or</p><p> Have oversight of all systems and assist owner/operators.</p><p>Sanofi’s wastewater needs are handled on-site, by sanofi, or the M.E., as mutually agreed upon. Treated effluent might be piped to Camelback or another user for snow-making.</p><p>All existing wastewater treatment plants continue to operate.</p><p>A small wastewater treatment system is built for the village of Tannersville, and a village design is developed that would allow Tannersville to develop with mixed uses, in keeping with traditional village concepts. This plant could be designed to produce a non- degrading discharge to go to Pocono Creek, or, preferably, would use land application systems for its discharge.</p><p>All concerned parties work cooperatively to make this happen.</p><p>*****</p>
