County Manager James Shubert reported that required water monitoring at the Iron Bridge Landfill fell out of compliance after the contract for testing expired and the routine fall test was not performed in 2024. Shubert said renewal correspondence had been sent to the email address of a former employee, so current staff were unaware the contract had expired.
Shubert told commissioners that the county needs to approve a new contract so well testing can be performed and the landfill returned to compliance with regulatory requirements. The item was placed on the regular meeting agenda for approval of the necessary contract and resumption of monitoring.
