WHEREAS, the Metropolitan Department of Water and Sewerage Services (“METRO”) owns and operates a combined sewer system located in the Driftwood basin with combined flow directed to the Central Wastewater Treatment Plant and a combined sewer outfall during heavy rain conditions; and,
WHEREAS, METRO desires to separate the stormwater and sewer flow in the Driftwood basin, thereby directing stormwater flow to the Cumberland River and the sewage flow to the Central Waste Water Treatment Plant; and,
WHEREAS, by separating the stormwater and sewage, METRO has an opportunity to reduce the overall volume load in the Driftwood basin combined sewer resulting in a reduction in the potential for localized storm flooding, surcharging sewer, and odor.

WHEREAS, METRO is developing the design and construction of dedicated storm infrastructure consistent with the Combined Sewer Master Plan; and,
WHEREAS, DEVELOPER agrees to provide on-site stormwater control measures and to provide METRO the amount of $173,717.16 to fund the design and construction of the current and new stormwater infrastructure, according to the terms of the Combined Sewer Project Participation Agreement - 429 Houston Street, attached as Exhibit 1; and,
WHEREAS, METRO agrees to begin design and construction of the project within timeframes set forth by Metro Water Services upon receiving the funds; and,
WHEREAS, BL2022-1214 authorizes the Metropolitan Department of Water and Sewerage Services to enter into participation agreements funding infrastructure with developers by resolution of the Metropolitan Council; and;
WHEREAS, the provision of such storm sewer service improvement is deemed to benefit both parties and the general community.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE METROPOLITAN GOVERNMENT OF NASHVILLE AND DAVIDSON COUNTY.
