3. PROJECT UPDATE
C. Frost discussed the results from the testing done by B & L throughout pond. Testing results indicated
that the first layer of organic material in the pond exceeds the residential thresholds for some
contaminants. The material could be left undisturbed without causing a threat to people, but to improve
water quality in the pond, the committee agreed that the material should be removed. The material cannot
be re-used on site. It will have to be stored for up to year to dry out before being disposed of. The sub
soil testing showed one area of hydro carbons. The test results show it will cost more than originally
estimated for the dredging and the additional steps involved, including the disposal of material once
cleared, Staff and committee members discussed funding available, the goals of the project and what is
most important moving forward.
There was discussion regarding the design plans as well as the pond water filtering system to be used.
The idea for a roof over the platform will not be included moving forward. Action items for June 15,
2022:
Cost estimates from Chad Frost for dredging and path consultation
Phasing plan for project due to additional cost incurred from contamination
Discuss additional funding
Design concept for filter
Consider what permits will be needed and length of time to obtain
