The Indiana County Commissioners met this morning and approved a resolution to release funds from the site specific post closure trust.
The $40,838 requested by the resolution is for the Evergreen Conservancy and Emergency Management Agency system that monitors for any traffic accidents that would impact the water quality at Black Lick Creek, Yellow Creek, Little Yellow Creek, Twolick Creek and Laurel Run. The system needs upgrading due to an impending shutdown of 3G cellular service, according to the county’s Chief Clerk, Robin Maryai.
The Evergreen conservancy received a grant to replace two units, and the money from the resolution that passed will allow the purchase of four more.
In other business, the board approved a bid from Vince Building Company for $130,000 for work on the public access area of Buttermilk Falls, including steps, handrails and other items from the falls overlook to Hires Creek.
Commissioners also approved two $50,000 CARES Act Revolving Loan Fund Loans. One will go to Mytrysak (Muh-TRIS-ick) Family Tree Farms, and the other to Lamantia Produce.
