AUS. - BOOK N [A,t •�P 7. A local laboratory has been contacted to obtain a sample of the chemical to determine the exact type of substance that is in the water. Initially, two labs were contacted to get the best price. The lab which was lesser in price, (Envirometrics - Grace Treadway) could not provide less than a three working days turn around on the test. Therefore, I felt it was in the best interest of the County to utilize a local company, BioServices (Jane Burton) who could provide a lab analysis and test by Monday at the price of $1,820. It is broken down as $1,620 for the lab test and $200 for shipping and handling. Envirometrics quoted a price of $1,292 for test results within three working days and $60 for sampling and shipping. 8. If the test is determined to be non -hazardous, I plan to make every effort to utilize the landfill to dispa�e of the substance and pads. 9. If the substance is hazardous, I anticipate the County will be required to contract with a licensed contractor to clean up the area and restore it as pristine which will be quite expensive. My staff and I will make every effort to determine the source of the substance and I will keep you advised of the activities as we proceed to mitigate the situation. Director Wright further reported that the analysis of the material indicated that it is nonhazardous waste oil and therefore can be disposed of at our landfill. He requested retroactive approval of the action already taken and authorization to work with staff at the landfill to dispose of the oil at that location. ON MOTION by Commissioner Scurlock, SECONDED by Commissioner Bird, the Board unanimously approved the action already taken by Emergency Services, and authorized staff to dispose of the oil at the landfill, as recommended by staff.
