Committee recommends renewing TRC contract for landfill inspections, PAS testing
Summary
Staff recommended continuing TRC for annual landfill inspections and added PAS testing; committee recommended council authorize a TRC contract (approx. $41,173) to comply with DNR/EPA reporting requirements.
City staff recommended continuing work with TRC to perform annual site inspections and the newly added PAS testing at Elma’s landfill west of the city on Highway 54. Matt said the city had been close to reducing testing but a new EPA representative and the addition of PAS testing means continued oversight is needed; staff recommended retaining TRC, which handles reports submitted to the DNR.
Committee members discussed cost‑sharing among businesses that use the landfill and the practical difficulty of switching firms. "I recommend that we continue to work with TRC to perform this work at our landfill," staff said. The committee moved to authorize the administrator to enter a contract with TRC in the amount of $41,173 and the motion carried on roll call. The committee noted reports will continue to be submitted by TRC to the DNR and that the city will monitor future invoices and potential additional installation charges tied to other projects.
