Commission says Onyx project should fund any required water testing
Summary
Commissioners noted that if the Onyx project conditions require water‑quality monitoring, the project applicant should cover the cost of third‑party testing; the commission reviewed existing water‑testing line items and recommended clarifying responsibility in project conditions.
Committee member (S2) raised a request that if water‑quality monitoring is a condition of the Onyx project, the applicant should pay for a third‑party testing provider. Committee member (S4) and staff agreed that developers typically cover monitoring costs and that the commission would expect the Onyx applicant to fund required tests.
Budget line items were reviewed: water testing was listed at $2,100 with additional line items of $400 for postage/public information and $170 for conferences. Committee member (S6) asked whether the commission would still need to perform routine testing if a project required additional monitoring; staff said routine seasonal tests would continue and that any extra testing required by Onyx should be budgeted by the project sponsor.
