Phelan, pastor of Christ Son of Juslice Parish Mohawk Mill Set To Pay Part Of Cost By ED MAXWELL An agreement for industrial waste sewerage and treatment, vas signed Thursday between he City of Cohoes and Mohawk aper Mills, 465 Saratoga St. The signing of the agreement ulrainaled negotiations which lave been conducted for the last IMt years, resulting from a gov- rnmenl directive to end pollu- ion of the Hudson River. Under terms of the pact, Mo- lawk will pay a portion of the cost of the city's intercept sys- era including maintainance and operation.

The charges will take effect vhen Mohawk starts pumping ffluent into the system, about August, 1973 The cost will mount to $41,426 annually. During construction phases the sewer district system rom 1970 through 1972, each municipality was billed by the islrict on a percentage basis or construction of the project. Cohoes' share amounted to 10 er cent lor 1870; 50 per cent 'or 1971; and 75 per cent for 1912. In terms of dollars, this amounted to the city being illed for $16,200 in 1970; $71,000 1971; and $121,500 for 1972, a total of $218,700. Mohawk's share for the same period amounted to $1,487 in $4,439 in 1971; and $11,158 1972, for a total of $20,084.

The city has sent a bill to Mo- lawk for this amount. When the system is completed 1973, the city's annual charge rill be $162,009 and Mohawk sill pay $41,426 per year. According to the agreement, lie city will design and con- collecting sewers and in- erceplors to collect all the ewage in the city.

Billed Monthly Any charges due from the firm the city will be billed on a monthly basis and paid for at end of each six months, Mohawk further agreed that it will remain liable for annual debt service charges, whether or not its system is connected to the city's intercept system at the when such charges are due and payable to the city, The paper firm may exceed lie amount of its purchased capacities on infrequent occa sions, when absolutely neces- iary, provided the city is notl led and approval is given prior the excess delivery.

Should the city find itself in danger of beng penalized for excess delivery to the district, Mohawk has agreed to cooperate .0 regulate delivery to the intercept system lo prevent such ex cessive delivery. Mohawk has the right to stop delivery of wastes, whether or not the mill continues to operate, upon one year's written notice. The paper mill will continue payment of its proportion share of the charges assessed, only so long as the city is required lo make any payment toward amortization of the bdad anticipation notes issued by the city and the district to finance construction whether or not the firm or its successors continue to operate the plant or deliver industrial waste, under the agreement. Possible Charges In addition to its industrial waste, Mohawk also discharges a i a waste into the city's existing sewer system. This waste from all other city prop cesscd the same as sanitary waste fro mall other city prop crty owners, If any charge is made to other properly owners a similar charge may be as- scsseti on the a i a waste from the plant which flows into the existing sewers.

The firm has also agreed to construct a holding or How equalization tank of sufficicn capacity to limit its peak flow of industrial waste to the inter cept system. The lank will he completed prior to delivery 01 effluent to the sewer facility. Mohawk is further obligatct lo pay the city a proportionate share of the cost of the operation and maintenance of the Albany County Sewer Districl. The share will be determined by the rallo of the plant's average daily flow lo the city's average flow, which is estimated at 11.3 per cent. These flows will be mete-red a i "Metercd flow" is defined as the flow measured by the aver age of the a i flows over a six period.
