How was the mandated Long Term Control Plan (LTCP) developed?
In January 2008 the City retained Strand Associates, a nationally recognized expert in combined sewer systems to assist Aurora in preparing its LTCP. Development of the LTCP included the following activities:
- Creation of a 16 member citizen’s advisory committee to provide public input.
- Measurement of sewage flows within the sewer system and development of a computer model of the sewer system.
- Evaluation of dozens of alternatives to discharging into the river.
- Financial capability assessment.
