PCB sampling for surface water 3 and surface water 13 were unable to be sampled as both locations were dry when Azimuth went to do the next round of sampling.

Capital Project Updates

 

Cell 4 and 5 north construction is still ongoing.  The cell is complete but still has small items to be finalized prior to completion.

The rehab transfer station project has been started.  The contractor has removed the back wall and door and are currently pouring concrete with hopes of utilizing the building by August.  Recycling has temporarily been placed in the construction and demolition bunker as well as at the back of the building.

 

The scales and drop off area's new design is still in process but is anticipated to be completed by Q3 in 2025.

 

Sludge removal from storm water retention ponds A and B has been completed.  All the valves are operational and the project has been closed.

Customer Service Survey

 

As of the morning of the meeting there were 241 surveys completed.  The goal was 500 by the end of September.  Our internal communications group has recommended that a boosted Facebook post would be valuable to helping achieve the Committee’s goal and gain participation.  The Committee agreed with the suggestion and supported the decision.
