site for the months of August and September. Mr. Levene
outlined the basic contents of the draft agreement being
negotiated between the State and the EPA. Staff said the
agreement should be executed within the next month.
Staff discussed the main activities occurring at the site,
including the Upper Alamosa River Hydrology Project, Phase I
detoxification of the heap leach, the continued coordination
of the technical studies being conducted down-basin and the
Cropsy Waste Pile relocation, which currently involves design
development and review, and finalizing contract agreements
between the State and the EPA.
Staff said contracting discussions continue with the EPA,
involving design parameters, monitoring concerns, possible
hydrological impacts, with regard to the sealing of the
Reynolds Adit and portals.
Staff said the contractual agreement being developed with the
EPA would control the financial participation and outline the
technical involvement/responsibilities of the State with
respect to site reclamation efforts. Staff explained that the
agreement would be drafted between the EPA and DOH and that
DNR would participate through a memorandum of understanding
with DOH.
Mr. Levene referenced the draft agreement/response action
contract and said that discussions with DOH on the contract
are continuing. He presented and discussed a list of key
terms of the proposed contract, specifically relating to cost-
share.
Mr. Levene said the requirement for the provision of a 10t
cost-share on the part of the State would begin after the site
has gained superfund status. The Director, Michael Long,
further explained that if a cost-share agreement is developed
with the EPA to conduct tasks considered remedial, rather than
emergency, the money expended prior to the NPL listing would
be credited toward the entire site after the listing has been
finalized.
Mr. Levene stated that if the site gained NPL status, the
requirement for a 10t State cost-share would be instituted.
He said the EPA would estimate the cost of particular actions,
i.e. , construction costs, and insert 10t of that cost into the
contract as the State' s share. Mr. Levene said that costs
beyond the original estimate would be covered by the EPA and
that in-kind services provided by the State will be allowed to
off-set the State' s share.
Mr. Levene stated that the EPA would certify all of the work
performed at the site and that progress reports would be
