Green Mountain campground septic delay forces contingency spending discussion
Summary
County recreation presenters said a septic-replacement project at Green Mountain is delayed in DEQ review; commissioners discussed using midyear funds and moving conference money into a contingency to cover potential higher repair costs.
Recreation-board presenters and county staff discussed septic replacement and other urgent repairs at the Green Mountain and youth camp facilities.
Presenters said the septic-replacement project has been delayed in outside review and that some project funding is at risk if approvals do not arrive in time. One presenter summarized contingency planning: "Then we'd have to use that money to do repairs and then buy some extra tanks and stuff," noting that using those funds would be a near-term patch and could prolong the issue if a full replacement is required. County staff said they moved $66,000 from conference/community line items to a midyear capital reserve to allow fast response if costs rise.
Commissioners asked for contact names at the reviewing agencies and for clearer timelines; they also discussed seeking alternate engineering reviews and pulling matching grant opportunities to accelerate approvals if possible.
