Mr. Ken Zmudzinski, Environmental Services, stated the clean -out was a two year project,
located on the west end of the Organic Resources Facility near the west boundary of the
South Bend Airport. The lagoon was filled with bio-solids in the 1970's, and closed in 1998
by agreement with IDEM. A five-year plan was initiated to clean up the lagoon, with a
December 2003 deadline. To date, approximately 90% of the solids have been removed.
40,000 tons were estimated to be removed, however, 93,000 tons have been removed. This
was due to lime -stabilized sludge, which was unforeseen. Since then, Environmental
Services obtained an extension to June 30, 2004. It is estimated at $250,000 to remove the
remainder. Environmental Service will meet with IDEM to resolve this matter.
The Clerk was instructed to post the agenda and notify the media and other persons who have
requested notice of the meeting agenda. No other business came before the Board. The meeting

FILING OF STATUS REPORT - CLEAN -OUT OF ORGANIC RESOURCES LAGOON NO. 1
Mr. Ken Zmudzinski, Environmental Services, stated the clean -out was a two year project, located
on the west end of the Organic Resources Facility near the west boundary of the South Bend Airport.
The lagoon was filled with bio-solids in the 1970's, and closed in 1998 by agreement with IDEM.
A five-year plan was initiated to clean-up the lagoon, with a December 2003 deadline. To date,
approximately 90% of the solids have been removed. 40,000 tons were estimated to be removed,
however, 93,000 have been removed. This was due to lime -stabilized sludge, which was unforeseen.
Since then, Environmental Services obtained an extension to June 30, 2004. It is estimated at
$250,000 to remove the remainder. Environmental Services will meet with IDEM to resolve this
matter. Upon a motion made by Mr. Gilot, seconded by Mr. Littrell and carried, the Status Report
