Resident urges county action on Star Valley septic waste; chairman suggests regional study
Summary
A resident raised concern about large numbers of septic systems in Star Valley and no local facility to accept waste; Chairman King expressed concern about risks of sewage lagoons without testing and proposed regionalization and outreach to towns and funders.
A member of the public asked the Board of Lincoln County Commissioners to consider coordinating a solution for septic waste in Star Valley.
Scott Milne told the board there are a large number of septic systems in Star Valley and that currently no local facility will accept the waste. He asked the county to step in to help find a solution. Chairman King said he was concerned about the risk of sewage lagoons without required testing and suggested regionalization of a lagoon might be the answer; he said he would speak with towns and funding agencies and report back to Milne.
The minutes record the exchange as public comment and discussion; no formal motion, funding commitment, or directive was recorded during the session.
