City Council Meeting 04/20/2026

The Riverview City Council held a meeting on April 20, 2026, which included a detailed public hearing and discussion regarding the Clean Water State Revolving Fund project plan for the Riverview Land Preserve leachate treatment plant. The council reviewed three treatment alternatives to address new PFAS discharge limits, ultimately selecting a granular activated carbon (GAC) and ion exchange resin system with an estimated capital and 20-year operational cost of approximately $44.7 million. The project aims to upgrade and expand the existing leachate treatment facility to meet regulatory requirements, reduce hauling costs, and improve environmental outcomes. The council approved motions to reject bids for granular activated carbon media changeout and to designate an authorized project representative, likely the city manager, for the leachate treatment plant project. Additionally, the council approved construction for the 2026 spring gas collection and control systems. Financing discussions included applying for low-interest loans and potential grants under the Clean Water Act, with considerations of tipping fee impacts and long-term operational responsibilities. No public comments were received during the hearing, and the council proceeded with unanimous votes on the procurement and project-related motions.
