Body
SUMMARY: The State Inspector has issued a letter to the City stating that the ground water samples from the Dorton Landfill are turbid (muddy) and that the City must incorporate appropriate measures to rectify the turbid samples. The Inspector has requested that each well have an additional sample and the sample be filtered before the lab analyst. This is an additional cost of $432.5 per well for a biannual total of $1297.50.
