All proposed changes will be presented to the City Council sometime in the next few months. Work is progressing on a draft zoning ordinance for the Kalispell City Airport. The City needs to put some special zoning into place for the airport to help prevent buildings or other objects from penetrating the air space for the airport. Efforts between city staff and Jackola Engineering are continuing regarding the City Service South (now South Center Square) site. The goal is to come up with a workable parking lot layout and fire access lane to accommodate their property as well as the Outlaw Inn property. Personnel: The two vacancies, plan reviewer and building inspector, have not yet been filled. Marti is trying to get these positions filled. General: It has been a very busy October. If the weather remains good we anticipate a healthy building climate during Novdmber.

The Green Star will have a booth. The items discussed will be the recycling bins at the four collection sites, the Household Hazardous Waste Collection and the Green Star Program. Steve said he would give Mayre Flowers some of the new brochures for their booth. Richard commented on the Chairman of the Board's Review of the WWC report for Flathead County dated July 1995. He greatly appreciates those comments because it adds a good perspective to the report but doesn't agree with all of Cy's comments. The Integrated Solid Waste Management Act from the State of Montana focuses on source reduction as a top priority. He feels the reason DSM had such a difficult time because of a Iack of good data. Hopefully the scale will furnish the good data and the District will be able to make source reduction a top t, priority. 4. Approval of the Board Meeting Minutes dated September 23, 1997.

These were, -approved at the October Board Meeting°and signatures of the Bowl. b. Woodward -Clyde (WWC) Report The Chairman said there were some issues and recommendations in the WWC Report which were very valid and which, after this Board was constituted and Steve Johnson was hired, had been accomplished of which not least is the Household Hazardous Waste Program: Scales have also been installed. Some of WWC's ideas were somewhat inflammatory and died for lack of support, one of which involved shutting &Yvtsoi 4ie of the green box sites, replacing some of the green box sites with limited hour transfer stations, and the establishment of fast trash sites. The philosophy that this Board has approved by default is providing the maximum amount of solid waste service to the citizens of Flathead County. 'This is the most environmentally sound approach that anyone can take because it keeps promiscuous dumping to a minimum, provides a place for everyone to go to get rid of their trash in a relatively short distance, and it gives the citizens something for which they pay taxes.. The concept of charging additional fees for utilization of the dump or green box site, is a good philosophical approach but it doesn't work unless it is enforced which would: be ext mely costly: y asked for Board icommetrts: L C. .. � said he agrees-vitith Richard Cohen.'s remarks. Tfi is not pert but there arena to of things the report recoil m KU Hougehold Hazardous Waste Facility. ' In particular; at -die lastIfd , - meetings, Lyle rbroughc this report to the attentim of he Board wily becap having; greeaq site ire.cleee proximity to`the City bf Col. Falls, WWC=specifically mentioned tat the residents of the City °should consider the economics of the transfer station versus curb side collection. WWC did this based on costs of transportation. Based on input from the hearings, it was obvious that the public wanted to retain the green box 7 sites but they also understood the problems incurred with the green box sites. There were comments regarding manning the sites to avoid problems. When we have solid data from the scales, we should be able to determine what is going to happen at the green box sites. But I echo the sentiments of Cy in that the green box sites are keeping trash out of the woods. I don't think that enforcement would be the answer for the northern part of the valley. The Sheriff's Dept. said they could not even begin to help us with enforcement. WWC's report, to me, was unfinished business. 1 think it is important to realize that the people in this valley want to maintain the valley but we, at some point in time, will need to address the issues of reuse, and source reduction. Richard Hoffman felt that the WWC report opened up our eyes to some of the things that needed to be done, some of which, through inaction of the Board, was never done until Steve was hired. 'I feel our board has to be a guiding light to source reduction, recycling, and education so that this works in congruence with the fact that we now have a better means of landfilling what we do bring in. Just because we can now landfill more material in less space does not mean that we have solved our problem of landfilling our garbage. I do feel that this Board does have to be more active in its attitude toward implementing more programs and not rely on citizens taking the initiative for recycling. In most instances recycling. is subsidized because people realize that that is part of being on a planet and having to pay for our impact on it. I don't think that prodding a hole in the ground for the residents of Flathead-Cciunty to°c`heaply landfill their garbage is a solution to our problem. It always comes back to how cheaply can we do the job so that people of the county don't get upset. I think we have to put those things aside and start using this board as a launching pad for certain changes. One other thing is that we did mention to DSM that garbage in equals garbage out. Unfortunately the data DSM had to work with was garbage. It is unfortunate that $80,000 was spent in that respect but I don't think this is a report that should be put on the shelf because some of the data they used might be skewed but they had a strong concern about what was going on in Flathead County and I felt they were willing to work with us. The number of households currently using green bin sites is very high, an estimated 54% of the population, even though access to private hauling is available to over 90% of this population. The use of green bin sites instead of private hauling is high because there is no additional cost to users of green bin sites while there is additional cost to use of private curb side collection or private collection in general. In addition, the convenience of green bin sites favor use. We have a very dangerous nuisance in those green box sites and by not manning and controlling what is put in those boxes, this county is leaving itself wide open to a major liability lawsuit. He doesn't understand why this Board and the Health Board doesn't go to the County Commissioners and state 3 the fact that we are open to lawsuits. DSM also mentioned this. Maybe what the county needs to do is talk to these folks about using private haulers. Why should two trucks be service the same population. Norbert Donahue found the WWC report enlightening and somewhat difficult to read. The policy as he understands it is a very basic situation., The objective is to get the garbage disposed of in the most economical and environmentally friendly attitude. To do that we hit on the scheme of the landfill which is a good one. The problem we face is transporting the garbage to the landfill. It would be beneficial to reduce by recycling or reuse the amount of garbage coming to the landfiille To achieve this, requires education. Maybe in some instances the FCSWD can encourage _recycling. But the people that do recycle pobaWyAdimmilb the idea of ,-_ —an pcoqptmcai t. If -we re vtduals err recycling, we will have accomplished so>ethiW ;%Bute at ft ` * 's situation Jk__ pays $32.50 for a cabin used less than six months to the county for the landfill assessment. He also has access to the green box site at Lakeside yet in Kalispell he pays $65.00 a year to the county and in addition he pays the City of Kalispell $70.00 a year to pick up and haul his garbage to the landfill for a total of $135.00 a year. On the: other hand people using the green box sites pay $65.00 and get them garbage hauled for fi-ee. He feels this is an inequitable situation and that this should be equalized. He suggested that a procedure be worked on where if a licensed -or nurucipalityhauler is'uti` ` there. _ besabeiieft=gi'°n d1he . ' taxpayer: Gy'said the reason for discussing the WWC study is because the Board has been encouraging the City of Col. Falls to take some, positive actions about their own people using the green, box sites. One of W WC's recommendations was that it would be cheaper for the individual Col. Falls property owners to have municipal pickup. The issue of equity is extremely important because in essence the people using the green box rites are getting a five ride to the landfill. The Dkector will give more indepth study to this issue when he has cost data available. We can't do this now,.or for the next -tax year but for the following year the information be available. LXle_chiistman said WWC's study re the truTwuse going to the 1av landfill site. Second as mentibiied in awe fior report; the cost of each household to travel to. and fomthe site should be considered when evaluating the overall economics o€ the system. For example, if the average site user travels 10 miles to use a site and uses the site biweekly at a cost of $0.301mile, each user has already spent $78.00 on collection which is greater than the annual cost of weekly curbside 4 collection in Whitefish and Kalispell. The next paragraph in the WWC study said that although most residents will not consider the transportation a cost expenditure, the incorporated area of Col. Falls should consider this cost and the economics of the transfer station versus the curbside collection in the city. Lyle said this is the part he disagrees with in Cy's report. The transportation cost not the costs versus transfer site versus curbside. Cy said the point is there will not be a transfer station. Because of this, Cy feels the City of Col. Falls should look at municipal pickup. Dr. Yaholkovsky said the WWC report pointed out that there was a lack of leadership, from the Director to the Board. The current administration is taking care of the issues and the WWC Report was just a report card. Richard Hoffman said that one of the comments from the WWC report dealt with the pricing structure. Having a landfill was a benefit to the county and the operating costs is a county expense. -But then how the garbage arrives at the landfill is a separate issue. WWC's report suggested that the District determine the operating costs of landfilling then that cost is assessed as a county tax assessment. Transportation payment of refuse is a citizen's affair; i.e., green box site, private hauler, etc. Richard feels this is the proper way to handle this. Norbert feels the answer to this situation is that if the green box was the ultimate place for garbage this would be fine and equitable. Richard Hoffman said this transportation charge is already built into the charge you pay at that site because they know the mileage from the site to the landfill. If they want to drive from point A to Kila to dump your garbage, the rate you are charged at that green box site is the rate it takes to transport from the site to the landfill. Norbert said that would be fine if there was no cost for hauling from the green box sites to the landfill. Richard said this cost could be built into the cost for utilizing the green box site. If the citizen chooses to use the option to take the garbage from their home to the landfill, this would be a choice as well. This would be an equitable means of transporting our garbage. Cy said the WWC report was discredited. Cy feels this report should be filed. Lyle said the cost could be set up as an enterprise similar to water and sewer. There would be administrative costs for landfill, and collection costs based on what is used. It may not be the WWC study the Board needs to look at but the rate structure to make it more equitable. Cy said the concept of closing down and limiting hours of operation of the green box sites was rejected by the County Commissioners. The new issue is equity in charging. 5 Dr. Yaholkovsky said Norbert Donahue's idea of refunding some money to those citizens using private or municipal haulers has merit. If necessary, raise the county assessment for landfill use with a refund to those who have municipal pickup or if they present a receipt or contract with a private hauler. Cy said this should be a future discussion. Cy said there is a simpler way to do this. Steve said he has been working with the County demographics department trying to look at a population radius around each green box site. It is very difficult to give refunds. Steve would prefer charging equitably at sites and using the data available to determine the population around each site. C. Columbia Falls Container Site Steve met with the Road Superintendent and the City Manager. There werefigmpojects. the City_ of CoLYAb could awist Ow FCSWD with: 1) 12-15 feet of dirt to berm off the road at the back of the property, 2) grading of the site itself, and 3) pouring a ramp lip off the main blacktop into the site to keep it from chipping. The Road Superintendent was to get back with a cost. As our first step to move this issue toward a more positive fashion, the green cans have been repainted. d. Fuel Bid In order to avoid requesting a rofund from the state for taxed fuel each year, we went out for bid for dyed fuel for the fiscal year. The recommendation is to go with City Service for both diesel fuel and .unleaded since their bid came in as a low bid by,about $0. 1 0/gallon. We use between 90,000 to 110,000 gallons of diesel and 4 to 5,000 gallons of gasoline. Dr. Yaholkovsky motioned to accept the City Service bid. Roger Noble second. Motion passed. e. Front Loading Truck Bids One of the board packet enclosures showed the bid results from the three firms. After some discussion, Steven said the Wittke truck had the best recommendations with a 100 day delivery. The low bid was the Peterbilt Amrep with the lower quality body, which would result in a $5,000 savings. Steve is hesitant to -recommend this truck because of their 210 da delivery. FClSWD's.two oldest trucks have cost the district in repairs as follows: 1982 White, has had $58,000 in repairs over the past few years andthe1982 Crane has had $28,000 spent in repairv—steve suggests a five year roll -around time for purchasing new replacement trucks and recommends the Wittke with the Volvo engine. Roger said the service would be more reasonable for Wittke since the trucks could be serviced T locally. Roger motioned that we accept the Wittke trucks. Norbert Donahue seconded. Motion passed. Richard Hoffman asked about the use of the two old trucks. Steve said one could be converted to a water truck. f. Recycling Bids The Recycling bids from the three bidders were discussed. In the Director's example, Valley Recycling was the low bidder for the 4 sites at $13,740, Pacific Steel's bid was $16,800 and for the landfill site, North Valley Refuse came in at $19,921.32. Steve stressed that these numbers are used only as guesstimates of material and the price could go either way. Steve recommended that Valley Recycling be granted the contract so that they can contract for fabrication of the portals. As soon as they get the boxes, and portals setup they will be out at the sites. This is a five year contract. This is only cost and no pay back since everything they collect will go to us. Dr. Yaholkovsky motioned to approve Valley Recycling for the five year contract. Lyle Christman seconded. Motion passed. Norbert asked what the recycler was going to do at the sites. Steve said Valley Recycling will place containers at four sites: Landfill, Creston, Kila, Bigfork areas and service them. They will service the containerized boxes for the four items recycled. g. Office Building - Zoning Steve said that the present office building never went through the zoning process. We will be before the FRDO Planning Board on November 4. Steve will go through the process and get a conditional use permit as a business administrative office for this building. h. Land Acquisition Policy Dr. Yaholkovsky felt number 3 of the Draft Land Acquisition Policy was unclear. Norbert suggested that in place of maximize use the word protect. Cy suggested that in the first paragraph, second sentence, after the word services: to insure the most favorable pricing to the citizens of the Flathead, parcels should be purchased when they become available not when the district has an immediate use. Debbie Rathbun made a presentation (see Attachment A). Mrs. Wisher said she feels the needs of the many are outweighing the needs of the few. She said the neighbors were promised that land would not be acquired on the basis of availability. The neighbors were told in 7 1995 that a plan would be implemented before FCSWD purchased additional properties. She doesn't feel the draft land acquisition policy fills this requirement. This draft does not address what will be done with the existing land belonging to the District, nor buffer areas. At the last meeting, the neighbors were told their participation was needed. Steve explained that the draft policy covers other property owned by the FCSW District; i.e., container sites that need servicing and expansion since many of the sites have not increased in number of containers since 1971. We have a leased site in Creston that should probably be expanded. The sites will be fenced over time and they will be serviced with.recycling opportunities. This is the reason for not limiting boundwie& The Col. Falls 00is using.00jy half of the property tint is ovine& by the County so there are many other concern t9b' j Board, policies can be shelved or changed. He said he didn't see that the neighbors had a problem with the policy but rather being assured of the long term plan over a lengthy period of time. We should do something in that direction. Dr. Yaholkovsky said that one of the problems is that the landfill property extends beyond and away from the permitted area; i.e., container sites. For this particular lot, 80 ages are licensed the rest of the 320 acres, are not used except as a- a docisn'il pdan be made for 20 to 30 years down the line - We have approximately 30 to 40 years beAve expansion will be considered. John Wisher said he will have to go to all the neighbors to form a pact that they will not sell their property to the landfill unless the landfill purchases the subdivision. He feels he has to protect his land now for'the future. Cy said there are two issues; one is acquisition of property when someone wishes to sell and the other is permitted space. To expand beyond the permitted area requires an environmental review. At this time the neighbors should be involved. ;Steve said then is a big difference between policy and plan and -this draft should not be cons' a plan In order for a plan to be exercised, it ,has to have some g policies or guidelines by which to be directed. , -We. have three pictures showin&the progress of the refuse over a four year period of time on the permitted area. 4Them is as much space in the canyogj* ihiere has been used since 1971. Them is another 14 acres that is equally as large. Those are two areas that are being considered for expansion at the present time and there is a substantial buffer which might be a consideration in the future. There are covenants on this buffer but for the economics of the county this is 8 valuable space. There is a farm area that will be going through the process of permitting even though we don't need it. Steve wants to maximize the 80 acres before doing anything else with the other property. There will be a plan developed by Braun and Rust that will come out in draft form and there will be public hearings where the proposal will be presented by the Director and engineers. This will be the first effort where there is real professional expertise applied to future waste management in Flathead County. This will concern the permitted as well as unpermitted property but the concentration will be on the 80 acres. Mr. Wisher asked if the engineers would get input from the neighbors. Steve said the FCSWD is trying to protect the public investment by proper planning. Mrs. Wisher feels the policy is too broad. Lyle Christman said that the Board should add a number 5 referencing specific land use. Otherwise you will have to explain this policy over and over again, the difference between planning and policy. Cy said that by doing this, the Board would be placing restraints on the landfill and he doesn't feel this should be done at this time. The board needs flexibility to deal with each acquisition on a case by case basis. To refer to a specific plan is probably not good planning. There has to be -a plan prepared and comments on the plan but that is going to be updated a number of times. Richard Hoffman asked if Rust Braun would gain input from talking to the neighbors and use the input as part of the plan. Steve said the Request for Proposals was altered'to ensure. th4f neighb6rh6b&- irr act'and interests . were addressed. This is part of the scope of work for the consultants. Richard asked if the neighbors' input would be part of the policy on how land acquisition would be dealt with in the future. Steve said he didn't know if this would be a good idea. Norbert Donahue suggested changing number 1 by adding at the end "with consideration of neighborhood interests". Richard Hoffman said that what was said by the Board to the neighbors in the past should not change with a new chairman or board. The Board should try to be consistent. What was said in the past to the neighbors was said in good faith and should be continued. Debbie Rathbun said that one worry of the landfill neighbors is that the Iandfill would purchase neighbor's property piece by piece. The speculation is that if the neighbor wants to sell; maybe the neighbors could buy the adjacent property. Debbie said that the previous board had said they would buy the whole subdivision. Cy said that this board would not do anything like that. Mrs. Wisher said she `feels that the board will not give any commitment because the board members are saying that they don't want to be held to a plan. This is what the neighborhood is 4 concerned about, that they can't hold the board to any plan that will ease the neighbors' minds. Debbie Rathbun asked the board what they planned I t 1 to do. She would like to know where the board will move their borders. Cindi Sweet asked where are you going to draw your line? The neighbors don't want the board buying piece by piece which will degrade their property values. Roger Noble said the policy Steve prepared is a draft only and as such is a working document. Because this is a draft document, he asked the neighbors what they would want added in the draft policy. The other thing is that Rust Braun was hired and is in the process of developing a long term plan. In six to twelve months, the draft land acquisition plan can be revised. Roger suggested forming an ad hoc committee consisting of board members and interested neighbors who will meet and sketch the policy -out and then bring it back to the board. Cy suggested that invitations should be sent out to A adjacent property owners for an informational meeting. Out of this-vxzting if a sub- committee could be formed Cy said he would be happy to sit on the sub- comrOttee and invited: otherlx+ard mcmben vAo wished: to join to do so. Roger Noble and Richardl. Hoffman said would G on the sub- . committee. 6. Director's Report a. Household Hazardous Waste Collection Report There were 34 people signed up and 29 came in. The material was categorized. The advertisements are out for the next hazardous waste ' collection day. There was. about 30 gallo€ s' of latex paint which Steve took �? Flathead High School's flumter group.- b. Junk Vehicle Fluid Removal Facility Report This is in the process. of being built and developed inside. One employee has completed the federal test for licensing for CFC removal. We are waiting for the results of his test and another employee is scheduled to take the test. C. Scale Update "Steve met with the private and municipal haulers to go through the process and inform theme about the activities of the Landfill and how assistance is mutually beneficial. Steve,would like to continue this.outmach as changes occur. The scales are working but there are glktnhes dealing with training of incoming traffic. Computer interface bugs arenewly cortiected. E d. Columbus Day Holiday traffic flow Due to the high volume of traffic, this holiday will remain open to the public. Resolution 1205B -revised This is the latest revised resolution explaining the responsibilities of the the County Commissioners over the Solid Waste District. Junk Vehicle Inspection Report and Letter The state found us to be in compliance. g. Chamberlain's letter of approval for well testing-, The Board packet contained a letter from the Chamberlain's giving approval for testing their well on an annual basis. h. LFG We are waiting for finalization of a report from Rust on a landfill gas issue. We should have the report by mid -November. Steve worked out the hydrogeologic overview and the storm water evaluation and this report was received today. Once the report is reviewed, the board will receive a copy. i. Ground Water We have had increasing levels of TCE (Tetrachloroethlene) in well number 3. These levels are about half of what they were at the height of the new shop well contamination. They have moved from 3 to 5 to 9 to 18 since December of 1996. This is parts per billion. Steve discussed options with Cy, Roger, Ross Miller, and Pat Potts. Since the FCSWD has exceeded the Montana limits for tetrachlorethlene, a"recommendation was made to the Board to proceed expeditiously with some very positive actions addressing the environmental concerns and protecting the public health, of the neighbors and Fenders, in a water testing program. Steve's recommendation to the Board was to amend the Junk Vehicle budget, foregoing the acquisition of the new junk vehicle truck and instead put two wells, one on the east side of the junk vehicle yard and one on the south. Take the money that is set aside for the west side well in the Solid Waste budget and put it on the east side boundary east of well 3. If there is contamination in the boundary, remediation will be required. The good news is the contamination in the shop well is decreasing. The Chamberlains, Beckstroms, and Fenders were.informed of the well results. Dr. Yaholkovsky motioned that the Director be allowed to move the money allocated for the Junk Vehicle truck to construction of wells. Roger Noble seconded. Roger said that relative to placement of wells. the money is designated for Junk vehicle so we need to spend it only on junk vehicle. We need to know if there is anything moving off site from the junk vehicle area. Motion passed. Roger Noble motioned to move expeditiously and punch in one well on the east side instead of the west side and taking in bids for all three wells at one time as well as expeditiously developing a revised corrective plan so we can be prepared to implement remedial measures if so necessary. Lyle Christman rt Motion passed. Roger commended Steve on taking a pro -active approach because this is a very critical _ ' 'Roger said the limit on ene is five parts per billion. It ipbased on a one to.sixth cancer fist, -this uie 'be - person in a million will likely get cancer by ingesting g liters of water for 74 years. This is based on EPA regulations. 7. Financial Report r The Financial Technician position has been established and Carol Norwood is now handling all feral matters. - 8. Comments from Board Members Richard Hoffman requested some signage out by the office to Delp direct traffic to the office when it is dark 'Norbert Donahue asked about bids for the new office. Steve said that had been completed. A bid for construction will not be put out until the middle of January. The time frame will allow inside work to be done during the winter months. Cy thanked everyone for attending the board meeting. v GS. 9.

After reviewing the staff report, taking public input and discussion among the Board members, a motion was made and seconded -to grant_ the requested conditional use permit subject to three conditions of approval. The' motion passed on a 5 to 0 vote in favor. Enclosed is conditional use permit FCU-97-22 which alloys the office use in association with the established landfill. This permit should be retained with your property records. Please contact Eric Mulcahy, Senior Planner at the Flathead Regional Development Office if you have any questions regarding the Board of Adjustment's decision.

Johnson, Director Page 2 November 3, 1997 The two ground water monitoring well locations you have proposed in thejunk vehicle yard located south-southeast of the landfill will provide additional information that will be helpful in the overall site interpretation of ground water flow in the area and may also shed some light on contaminant migration. Due to the recent expansive nature of this plume(s), it is apparent the delineation of the tetrachloroethene plume be determined promptly to avoid any migration of cont�r, hlt tion into private supply wells nearby. Prior to the impacts detected in MW-3, contamination was confined to the shop well area. Concentrations of the chemical ct�tttaminairtts appea to hayg tt is q decrease in the shop well ovei the past year or so, prompting the Solid Waste Program to retract their initial request for a monitoring well east of the shop area. With tetrachloroethene continuing to be the contaminant above the GWPS/MCL and now _. detected at MW-3, it appears the tetrachloroethene plume is migrating rather rapidly in this area. Existing, as well as potential migration pathways and the more localised flow' patteftbeed to be delineated and contaminant migration controlled at the east property boundary. w r { The present corrective action will need to be re -assessed. In the meantime, an interim measure(s) [ARM 17.50.710(40(iv)] to contain and/or control the migration pathway(s) of this tetrachloroethene plume may -be -required." The Program appreciates the landfill's prompt initiative in this matter. We will await the drilling schedule for the new monitoring wells. We also strongly suggest a corrective me s) plan be drafWdto cleanup thecoAtaminatted groundwater at this site_ If we can be of any assistanceas you develop your schedule and plan of attack on this problem, please give me a call.

Box 190249 Hungry Horse, MT. 59919-0249 November 6, 1997 Flathead County Solid Waste District Board 3928 Highway 93 North Kalispell, MT. 59901 Dear Board Members, 1 am writing in regard to the landfill fees we are being charged. We recently received a fee notice that we owe $130.00 which is twice the amount we have been billed in past years. It is my understanding that we are being billed twice the normal fee because we have a portion of the building leased as a gift shop. The gift shop is only open nine months of the year and the VFW membership only meets once a month for one hour. We do serve a free senior citizens dinner once a year around Christmas time. The veterans that belong to our nonprofit organization heeded the call of volunteerism long before President Clinton and past Presi- dents gave the national call to volunteerism to our communities. As veterans we believe in paying our fair share, but we feel we are being slapped in the face by the additional fee you are charging us. After all, the rent fees we charge the proprietor of the gift shop goes back into the community to help those that are in need of help. The Landfill Board should also be aware that the VFW building is the polling place for the general election and has been provided by the membership of the post on a free basis in the past. As in any business added costs have to be passed onto the consumer. The county landfill may add money to its' coffers, but it would be a drain on the election board's coffers. This statement is not meant as a threat, but is strictly a decision based on our available finances. As a nonprofit organization we feel the the Landfill Board needs to make some serious adjustments in the fees they charge. We are respectfully requesting that you lower our fee to the original $65.00 per year. Sincerely, David E.

Landfill gas extraction, the original corrective measure selectedby the landfill and.' " roved by the Program over a year ago, was intended to decrease the volatile organfc compound (VOC) contaminants detected in the ground water at the shop well. To date, the gas eiktraction system has not been satisfactorily implemented and is not effectively operational. The landfill's immediate (October 29, 1997) sampling of the adjacent supply wells (Chamberlains, Adanac, and the Cowboy bar), as well as re -sampling monitoring well MW-3 is commendable. Our recent telephone conversations concerning the approach the landfill wishes to take in delineating the nature and extent of this plume {ARM 17.50.710(4)(a)(i)) of contaminated ground water should provide useful information- 'l'he well location you plan on drilling approximately 54 to 70 feet east of the impacted well may exhibit similar contamination to MW-3. if it does, then the boundary of the plume at the action level (boundary conditions being defined as equal to or less than the.ground water protection standard (GWPS)/maximum contaminant level (MCL)l will no►t vet he defined. We suggest that you might visit with the adjacent property.,owners (Chamberlains) concerning their position as to the installation ofa ground water monitoring well on their property, in the cvrnt the boundary of the plume IS not delineated by "the`prorxoscd well.
