SUBJECT: Pipeline Leaks
In its discussion on cleanup of the contaminated soil in the
Byron area, Board members commented on the feasibility of enacting an
ordinance that would require a notification to the County of a
pipeline leak and a requirement for the timely cleanup of the area
contaminated. Board members also commented on the need for a
procedure that would allow the County to be reimbursed for any
cleanup of the contamination should the responsible party fail to act
within a reasonable time period.
Therefore, IT IS BY THE BOARD ORDERED that the Public Works
Director, County Counsel, and the Health Services Director are
REQUESTED to review the feasibility of an ordinance that would
provide a protocol for notifying the County of pipeline leaks and
provide authority to the County to clean up the leak caused
contamination upon failure of the responsible party to do so within a
reasonable time period.
I hereby certify that this Is a true and correct copy of
an action taken and entered on the minutes of the
Board of Supervisors on the date shown.
