2026-0819: Resolution adopting Plan Revision to the City of Pittsburgh’s Official Sewage Facilities Plan for 2225 Smallman Street, Pittsburgh PA 15222, at no cost to the City.

Description

Resolution adopting Plan Revision to the City of Pittsburgh’s Official Sewage Facilities Plan for 2225 Smallman Street, Pittsburgh PA 15222, at no cost to the City.

Summary

The document is a Pennsylvania sewage-facilities planning submission for Building A of the Brickworks residential development at 2225 Smallman Street in Pittsburgh’s Strip District. MI Strip Works, LLC proposes 130 apartments on a previously paved parking lot, generating an estimated 25,950 gallons of wastewater daily. The building would connect to Pittsburgh Water’s existing sewer system, with treatment ultimately at ALCOSAN’s Woods Run facility. The City of Pittsburgh reviewed the proposal through its Department of City Planning, while the Allegheny County Health Department recommended approval. The submission also documents historic-resource review, environmental screening, sewer-capacity analysis, and a $3,250 DEP review fee. The PNDI review found no anticipated impacts from some agencies but requires further review concerning fish, mussels, bats, and federally protected freshwater species. This matters because municipal and state review helps confirm sewer capacity, regulatory compliance, environmental protections, and opportunities for public oversight before construction.
