BOARD COMMENTS <br /> Commissioner Halkiotis thanked Commissioner Hartwell for accompanying him to Talmage <br /> Stevenson property to gather data on a sewerage problem that has been going on since 1970. <br /> Paul Thames who also attended will do a written report on the problem. This report will <br /> also include recommendations for D.E.M. to carefully consider before they continue with <br /> the installation of the proposed new treatment package plant at Carden's Mobile Home Park. <br /> Commissioner Halkiotis indicated that D.E.M. and county government have been unable to <br /> correct this problem. <br /> Commissioner Hartwell indicated that there has been a clear miscarriage of <br /> regulatory process in this case. The most current permit issued in 1987 allowed them to <br /> continue to operate as they were. During this same time frame fines and enforcement <br /> action were pending. It is clear that D.E.M. has not done the enforcement job that is <br /> needed. The sand filter system has failed and the discharge of this system is not into a <br /> perennial stream which is a requirement for permitting such systems. This has relevance <br /> to the kind of regulations for community systems that are being considered by the County <br /> at this time. <br /> II. COUNTY MANAGER'S REPORT <br /> John Link stated that the staff's response to the County Commissioners' <br /> retreat will be forwarded to the Commissioners within the next several days. <br /> III. ADDITIONS OR CHANGES TO THE AGENDA <br /> None. <br />
