Soils Reclamation Facilit Uadate April 24, 2012 Paae 2 As information only, staff informed the Committee that the Department of Ecology- (DOE) recently informed the City that our current practices of decanting extracted sediment from storm pipes and catch basins is no longer acceptable due to concerns of over ground water contamination. The 2(_)12 CIP lists the development of a Soils Reclamation Facility. However, until this facility can be built, the City will contract with Bing Count- to use a DOE approved soils reclamation facility in Renton. The annual cost of using this facility is estimated to be $79,200 for the dumping fees, and currently only $30,000 is budgeted. Committee Chair Robertson inquired about the financial aspect of paring the annual dumping fee as compared to building our o facility in the City. Staff replied that other financial details, besides the soil process, including efficiency of operations for labor, equipment, material, hauling, testing and storage most also be considered.
