7 <br /> Limitations: <br /> Each remediation strategy will be allowed once for each eligible well and any <br /> long term maintenance costs associated with a strategy, if incurred, will be the <br /> responsibility of the well owner. The well owner will be required to sign a <br /> release for each strategy provided. There will be no guarantee from Orange <br /> County that any strategy will solve the problems with existing or replacement <br /> wells. <br /> OTHER CONSIDERATIONS <br /> Costs: <br /> The following costs will be paid for out of the NFWRF: <br /> ♦ Repair, treatment, renovation, or replacement of failing wells on <br /> properties within the affected zone <br /> ♦ Costs incurred in the evaluation and determination of whether a well <br /> failure exists, including sampling, permits and consultant fees <br /> ♦ Other costs as deemed necessary by the Health Director and approved <br /> by the County Manager <br /> Contractors: <br /> Contractors used by the County in the remediation of well failures shall be <br /> subject to the County's competitive bid process as administered by the County's <br /> Purchasing Department or other agency as appropriate. <br /> Discoveries: <br /> Any well failures or other associated problems determined to be the direct <br /> responsibility of ASC after the initial assessment will be referred back to ASC for <br /> remediation. If the County has spent funds from the NFWRF and such a <br /> discovery is made, ASC will be responsible for reimbursing the County for the <br /> amount spent. <br /> Educational Packets: <br /> The County should prepare an informational literature to be given to well <br /> owners as they apply for use of the NFWRF. The information should detail the <br /> processes involved in the use of the fund and what the applicant can expect as <br /> they proceed with a claim. <br />
