/°n <br /> Agenda Item # 13 <br /> Request From The Board Of Health For Staff Assistance <br /> The Board of Health has requested the Board of County Commissioners provide <br /> county staff that would seek a solution to the "health hazard" their environmenta <br /> section has identified in the Efland Estates Subdivision. <br /> I have discussed this request with the Community Development Director, a <br /> Planning Staff Member and an engineer. If you desire to respond affirmatively <br /> to the Health Board request I recommend: <br /> I. Board authorization to investigate alternative ways of handling waste <br /> water accumulating in Efland Estates: <br /> a. Pump truck <br /> b. package plant <br /> c. force main to <br /> Or <br /> II. Board authorization to investigate alternative ways of handling waste <br /> water accumulating in a region centering around Efland Estates : <br /> a. pump truck <br /> b. package plant <br /> c. force main to <br /> This investigation, a Preliminary engineering study, would address the three <br /> possible solutions to this problem both on a local and regional basis advising the <br /> County: <br /> a. The cost associated with each solution <br /> b. Funding opportunities (grants) available for each solution <br /> c. Implementation proceedures necessary for each solution <br /> A preliminary study such as this can be obtained for $1 ,500. The staff does <br /> not have the necessary engineering skills to perform this task. <br /> Prior to making a decision to proceed the Board neds:. to consider the overall <br /> practicality of the County moving in this area. Granted, Efland Estates has a seriou, <br /> problem which will cost a significant sum to correct. However, there are probably otl <br /> areas spread over the County that have now or will have in the not too distant future <br /> problems similar to this. Are you as Commissioners ready for the County to assume thE <br /> financial burden providing this service could bring about? <br />
