Presented by Jimmy Hoggatt who reviewed SLUDGE DEPOSITS AT PLANT
staff's recommendation to include
defining the size of the deposits at
the time the content of the deposits
was investigated. He said this was
because the various agencies' first
question to him was, "How big is the
deposit?"
Director Onysko explained the position
of the Operations Committee (Mason/
Onysko): to wait to determine the size
of the deposits until after the content
of the deposits was determined--a two
step process. Director Mason said if
the deposits were tested and determined
to be non-toxic, then the District had
an arguing point with the Agencies for
the need to determine the size of the
deposits.
Hoggatt countered, the Agencies would
ask, "How did we know the areas tested
were the "hot" spots." He stated his
request to the Board was to submit
the Geraghty & Miller work plan to the
various agencies.
Ivo Bergsohn/Geraghty & Miller was
present and responded to questions from
