BURLINGTON — Greg Salsbury stared at the map Tuesday, but he wasn't sure how what he saw would affect him.

        Mr. Salsbury was one of nearly 70 people at a workshop at the Boone County Extension office.

        Officials with Sanitation District No. 1 of Campbell and Kenton counties and Woolpert LLP, a Covington engineering consulting firm, displayed maps showing where a wastewater treatment pumping station and nearly 62,000 feet of pipeline would link to a proposed $100 million treatment plant on Ky. 20 in Belleview.

        Mr. Salsbury raises tobacco and hay on about 50 acres near the intersection of Howe and East Bend roads. A stand of trees and a barn could be removed.

        “I'm not really sure how I feel about (the pumping station and pipeline),” Mr. Salsbury said. “The impact of its passing through has yet to be determined.”

        Rich Harrison, a Woolpert project engineer, said the pumping station would cost $18.9 million. He said the pipeline would cost about $21 million. The pumping station would send untreated sewage to the treatment plant.

        Mr. Harrison said the pumping station would be built near the south fork of Gunpowder Creek and Fowler Creek. The pipeline would start there and travel west to Gunpowder Road, south to Hidden Creek Drive and either southwest to the plant along Longbranch Road or south of Longbranch along an unnamed stream.

        Don Stites, the Wyoming, Ohio, man who owns the land on which the plant would be built, attended Tuesday's meeting along with sanitation district general manager Jeff Eger. The men disagree over the land's value and whether the sanitation district can have a 150-acre slice of Mr. Stites' 500-acre farm, about 26 miles southwest of downtown Cincinnati.

        But they didn't speak to each other Tuesday.

        “What's to say?” Mr. Stites said. “We gave them our report. We hope that (residential development feasibility) study shows the high value of the property (and) will encourage them to look for another site.”
