Commissioners get update on regional Brownfield grant; Pickrick Flats resampling after lab error
Summary
Montrose Environmental conducted site visits to Cameron County locations under a regional Brownfield grant; commissioners heard that soil samples at Pickrick Flats showed surface oil and will be retaken after a lab mix-up that the contractor will absorb.
Commissioner (S3) updated the board on a multiday Montrose Environmental site visit covering roughly 370 acres in Cameron County as part of a regional Brownfield grant. He told the board the regional approach was necessary for the approximately $1,600,000 grant application and that awards will be allocated across participating counties; Cameron County is among the sites under study.
On sampling at Pickrick Flats, Commissioner (S3) said soil and surface-oil detections required new samples after a lab error. "They had some, obviously, some chemicals and surface, oil on top of the surface water...they have to retake them though because the lab got some things mixed up on the exact locations," S3 said, adding the lab will absorb the extra cost so the grant will not be charged. The board discussed continued planning and expects follow-up data and a next meeting in a month or so.
