NEW BUSINESS
Town Center, Stop & Shop (Approval to connect)
Mr. Steven Sargent, P.E. from Appledore Engineering, Inc. and Bruce Kelly were present
on behalf of Stop & Shop to seek approval for connection to the existing sewer line for a
commercial building located at Town Center, Ellington Road and Buckland Road, SouthWindsor, CT. The proposal is for an additional 3500 gal. a day discharge, with a 4,000-gallon grease interceptor. Mr. Shaw stated the concentration of BOD and suspended solids is rather high and he felt this should be monitored on a quarterly basis. The solids would come from various departments within the supermarket. Connection to the sewerage system will be in Ellington Road, into an existing manhole near Webster Bank. It would be necessary for the company to have an independent contractor do 24-hour composite test to monitor the solids being discharged from this site.
