RESOLUTION
OF THE
NEW HANOVER COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS
WHEREAS, New Hanover County has been listed as a potentially responsible party for
the cleanup of the New Hanover County Airport Burn Pit Site; and
WHEREAS, in 1994, the United States Environmental Protection Agency issued a
unilateral order urging the County, City of Wilmington, and Cape Fear Community
College (local PRP's) to undertake certain remedial action at the site. At the time of the
order, the proposed remedy was a pump and treat system, and
WHEREAS, the Respondents engaged Richard Catlin and Associates ("Catlin") to
undertake the remedial design/remedial action ("RD/RA"). Catlin was also requested to
review alternative remedies at the site to accomplish cleanup goals in a more expeditious
and cost effective manner; and
WHEREAS, based upon preliminary design and evaluation, Catlin determined that air
sparging would be more effective in achieving the cleanup goals for the site. In addition,
it is estimated that the air sparging will save approximately $41,000 per year in operating
and maintenance costs; and
WHEREAS, the EPA has now approved an amendment to the Record of Decision for
the site authorizing the use of air sparging; and
WHEREAS, the contract for the RD/RA provided that if the EP A approved the use of an
alternative remedy, then the PRP's and Catlin would attempt to arrive at a mutual
agreeable price for the design and implementation of the remedy

remedy in a total amount of$85,609 In addition, the amendment shall provide
for the payment of an amount not to exceed $100,000 for the completion of the
remedial design for the air sparging remedy The actual cost of constructing the
air sparging system and the operation and maintenance of the system shall be
determined after EPA's approval of the remedial design and shall be subject to the
approval ofthe Board of Commissioners. The County shall continue to pay 25%
of the cost of the work.
