If we are going to bring a different position to CCME it has got to be a positive, constructive position that has as its objective new, better solutions.  Status quo situation cannot prevail.  We will need to make some investment — significant costs are inevitable because we are retrofitting an existing system, not just building a new one.

 

So what is an effective option?  We need some work to see if something better is on the near-term horizon.  The committee currently doesn’t have answers to that question.

 

If something new is not practical, then we cannot argue against investment in conventional secondary treatment.
