During the Bradley County Commission meeting on Monday, a letter from SanTek was presented in response to the county’s request to remove the sludge from the landfill. SanTek states that they are within regulations, however they are willing to relocate approximately 35% of the sludge to an alternate facility shortly. A new facility is being built in Georgia, and it is likely they will move the 35% in the coming month or two.
Other items were discussed, including a resolution to authorize the Mayor to negotiate and enter into an agreement with Sports Surface Pros to resurface two tennis courts at the County Rec Park, for approximately $19,300. That resolution passed 14-0.
