Roll Call: Randy Spivey, Dave Sundberg, Chaz Glagolich, Darlene Turner,
and Drew DeVries
Minutes: Randy moves to approve the May 17, 2007 minutes.
Chaz - seconds.
Minutes were approved unanimously.
Public Comments~, As Chair of the Pond Committee, Louise Stutes has documents for
the Pond owners to sign which give the State (Kodiak Soil and Water Conservation)
permission to look into a settling pond for the Three Sisters Pond.
Old Business:
a. Spring Walk Around and Work Schedule: Darlene is to meet with contractor
this week to get things going. Our list include; a Mountain View and a Devil's Prong
culvert with ditching. Then Marmot has two spots that have potential liability issues.
These need to be ditched and filled in. If money is still on track, possibly add gravel and
bank them. The rock is to cover the base of the road where rock and stumps are showing
that can not be plowed over. And we need to look into some of the materials that the
other road districts have used to reduce the dust and pot holes. In front of Randy's and
Jim's house there needs to be bigger rocks to help stop the erosion. The fence on Mt.
View also needs a call to the resident to know the legalities involved.
b. Street Signs: These are in and need to be installed on the break away poles.
They are to be put in by the contractor, except for two street signs (Forest Dr. and
Monashka Cr.) which can be put in by us with bolts. The other signs include speed signs
and "children at play" signs. Also the placement of a post for our meeting announcements
needs to be approved by highways (DOT).
New Business: KIB Ordinance No. 98-06: Tracy Mitchell from KIB gave us a
presentation on the current settling pond for leachate treatment system at the Landfill. A
"Toe Drain" leads to an upper aeration pond and three settling ponds. After that a green
belt contains its wet lands. And then a test station samples the water before it's sent onto
the ocean. Currently there is an overflow of leachate that is not being caught by the Toe
Drain. The Borough needs to expand the wet land treatment system. This would add to
what is currently there. The Borough is in the first stages of planning right now, so the
MBRSD Board would not necessarily take action next week. Another sedimentation
basin is proposed to catch the overflow that is not currently being pickup above the upper
aeration pond. The consultants are proposing two curtains that would then disperse the
flow evenly. This would include access roads to maintain the curtains. The road will have
controlled access from the dump through the bear fence. The road and curtain will be the
only thing encroaching into the green belt. The sampling point below the wet lands is
where the Borough is ensuring they meet water quality standards. According to the
ordinance (98-06), the MBRSD is involved and needs to be notified and have
concurrence. This improvement needs to happen for health reasons and has been
approved by DEC and EP A. The "Toe Lines" need to be flushed out more regularly. The
current leachate field is substandard and this would make it better. According to DEC,
what needs to be address is manganese and ammonia. The Borough is meeting water
quality standards now except for a couple of things. There is money set aside for the
improvements in the Borough budget.
Discussion:
The residents of Marmot Dr. who use well water need to be notified.
Marmot residents just finished a legal bout with Reed Oswald about contamination
problems from his property.
The drainage may go out to the ocean, but the land is fairly flat and the concern is the
leachate could be introduced into the ground water. They residents are part of the Service
District but also individual property owners.
The MBRSD is charged with maintaining the roads, infrastructure and its drainage
systems and to make it safe. The drainage into the green belt from the landfill is
stretching our authority.
The Borough needs to notify all the people on Marmot so they can at least be informed
and weight in on this issue.
The MBRSD would need more back ground on this Ordinance before making any
decision to concur with the expanded plans.
The MBRSD has a common boundary, but we don't have common infrastructure with the
Bailer.
Public Comments: Jim McCullough - He agrees with the Board, that this is not a Board
issue but a Borough issue that needs to be publicly address to its residents through a letter
at least.
Board Comments:
Dave Sunberg - Thanks to Tracy for education of the Dump Facilities.
Darlene Turner - We got a good education tonight. Thanks for the briefing from Tracy
and her attending our meeting. Thanks to Jim for attending too.
