Montrose approves one-year extension to Genesee County sewer agreement amid PFAS disposal concerns
Summary
Council approved a one-year extension to the lateral sewer operation agreement while Genesee County addresses PFAS-related biosolids disposal and awaits an EGLE discharge permit.
City Manager Neil Rankin told the council that Genesee County Water and Waste is awaiting a Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy (EGLE) discharge permit and has run into PFAS-related issues that affect biosolids handling. Rankin recommended the council approve a one-year extension to the lateral sewer operation and maintenance agreement while Genesee County seeks a long-term resolution; the council approved the extension on a motion by Aaron Burch, seconded by Mark Richard, with a unanimous roll call.
Rankin said the PFAS issue has changed how biosolids can be handled and that Genesee County needs time to find a disposal solution. The extension maintains the existing arrangement for one year while the county works with state regulators.
The minutes do not specify revised contract terms beyond the one-year extension or any budgetary impacts tied directly to the extension.
