Summary
The Council approved continued removal and disposal of contaminated soil excavated from the Wastewater Treatment Plant west lagoon to Waste Management's Gray Wolf Landfill in an amount not to exceed $175,000 after staff said the cost exceeded administrative authority.
Camp Verde's Town Council voted March 11 to authorize continued removal and disposal of contaminated soil from the Wastewater Treatment Plant west lagoon to Waste Management's Gray Wolf Landfill, approving the expenditure not to exceed $175,000.
Utilities Director Lisa Vaughan told the Council the remediation plan requires excavation, evacuation and testing of two areas in the west lagoon by July 2026. Vaughan said Mulcaire & Son Contracting is performing excavation and transport, and that costs to dispose of the contaminated material at the Gray Wolf Landfill exceeded the Town's administrative approval threshold and therefore required Council action.
Vice Mayor Wendy Escoffier moved to approve the disposal contract authorization; Councilor Robert Foreman seconded. The roll call vote was 7-0.
The minutes do not specify the contaminants identified, the volume or tonnage of material to be removed, nor the contractual unit prices; those technical and procurement details were not recorded in the public minutes.
