cost is the amount and time of inspection that is placed on this project by the EPA. Discussion continued regarding the advantages of going to an industrial well in the beginning, and Commissioner Scurlock wished to know, if additional observation was going to be required, is it the intent that would not be done internally. Director Pinto advised that if there is observation during drilling that requires a specialty, that would be outside - if it is just watchdogging to see nobody climbs on the rig or something of that nature, that would be internal, and Commissioner Scurlock noted, that in other words, nothing technically important would be done internally. This was confirmed by Director Pinto, who stressed how important this was in order to limit our liability, and it was his recommendation that we proceed with the contract with the changes recommended based on the fee structure at the upset limit. Commissioner Scurlock commented that he had asked that this item be delayed because he had some questions about the diameter of the well, liability, percent, etc., and those questions now have been answered. The other and most significant question he had related to constructing a municipal or industrial well, and he now feels there is no question that we should do the indus- trial well at this time, especially when construction costs are down. He noted --that he would like to propose at this time that we proceed with staff's recommendation to approve the agreement with the modifications suggested by the County Attorney and that we proceed with an industrial well. but in addition to the recommended contract, there is an attached Work Authorization, and he had a question relating to -a couple of the items listed in it - for instance the Hercules Meeting shown on Table 1 at $5;886. If Hercules says they are not interested, he didn't want our people to do an analysis and start the clock running on that amount of money. Director Pinto reported that he has discussed this with the consultant. It is a coordinated effort, and we will take the authority to stop at any point if we see we should not expend the funds because it is not needed. Commissioner Scurlock noted that the other element is the study of leachate management, and he wanted to be sure if it is going to be done that it is funded out of Solid Waste. Director Pinto confirmed that one of the things that they will come back to the Board with is the proportion of the cost of this project that should be funded through the Solid Waste District and through the Landfill. 69 SEP 24 1991nu
