Scope of Work
Task Order No. 15 is intended to further meet the requirements of the 2016 Consent Order (CO) to
develop a revised remediation plan for the Fort Hall Mine Landfill (FHML) Cell 1 to address chemicals of
concern (COC) contamination (e.g., trichloroethene [TCE], tetrachloroethene [PCE], and others as
outlined in the CO). These compounds have impacted groundwater beneath and downgradient of Cell 1
and into the Portneuf Valley Aquifer (PVA), the sole source of drinking water for the cities of Pocatello
and Chubbuck, Idaho. The current remediation system and Cell 1 cover remedy have been deemed by the
Idaho Department of Environmental Quality (IDEQ) to be ineffective due to an insufficient conceptual site
model (CSM). The CO outlines the systematic development of a revised remediation plan that includes:
1. Creating a corrected CSM
2. Establishing remedial action objectives acceptable to IDEQ and Bannock County (County)
3. Analyzing potential cleanup techniques
4. Implementing a selected remedy
5. Implementing groundwater monitoring strategies
6. Evaluating the implemented remedy
To meet these goals, Task Order No. 15 includes the operation and maintenance of the groundwater
remediation system, participation in quarterly meetings with County and the Idaho Department of
Environmental Quality (IDEQ), semi-annual on-site groundwater sampling, annual off-site groundwater
sampling, and monitoring to inform best management practice recommendations to reduce infiltration of
stormwater upgradient of Cell 1. In addition to routine reporting efforts, a supplemental pilot study, site
characterization, and alternative evaluation reports will be submitted to IDEQ. Public outreach efforts will
also continue with the addition of one public meeting.
This preliminary draft scope of work for Task Order 15 includes the following tasks:

12
BOARD OF BANNOCK COUNTY COMMISSIONERS' - MEETING
OCTOBER 6, 2026
6
Assumptions:
CDM Smith’s estimate of cost is based on the following assumptions. Changes to these assumptions may
require an amendment to the task order budget:
•
It is assumed that O&M of the groundwater remediation system will continue through
September 30, 2027.
•
The specific timing on specific annual tasks, especially the air stripper cleaning, will be
determined based on inspection of the system components and other operational metrics.
•

system as described above, except for the weeks that CDM Smith will be performing monthly
O&M.
•
Bannock County staff will also conduct brief daily (weekday) inspections to confirm system is
operating (e.g., there are no leaks, the chemical metering pump is operating, the RW pumps
are operating as expected, the air stripper blower is operating and in the AUTO position, and
there are no other visible abnormal conditions). Bannock County staff will record their
observations on the daily form and coordinate with CDM Smith staff to address any repairs
needed.
Task 15C –Non-Routine O&M Activities
CDM Smith will also conduct non-routine O&M activities as needed. The scope of non-routine O&M is
uncertain, but for the purposes of budgeting, some degree of non-routine O&M has been included in this
Task Order to allow the project team to respond and resolve such issues and keep the system
operational. CDM Smith will notify Bannock County of any non-routine work before it is conducted and
conduct the work in consultation with Bannock County.

Task 15L – Leachate Pond Inspection and Stormwater Control Planning
In 2024, CDM Smith assessed seepage through the Cell 1 evapotranspiration cap and determined that the
cap is functioning in accordance with its design specifications. However, the assessment also identified
water within the Cell 1 waste. Subsequent evaluations have focused on other potential sources of water,
including stormwater and seepage from the Cell 2 and Cell 3 areas, leakage from the Cell 2 leachate
pond, and springs buried within the waste. Under this task, CDM Smith will address leaks identified
during Task Order 14 (2026) leachate pond inspection and re-inspect the pond to confirm that the repairs
are effective.
15L.1 Leachate Pond Liner Replacement Support
Activities:
An electrical leak location survey was performed that identified leaks in the Cell 2 Leachate Pond and
additional damage was identified in the Spring of 2026. CDM Smith has been coordinating with Bannock
County to procure replacement for this pond liner as it nears end-of-life. Under Task Order 15, CDM
Smith will support planning, design, and oversight for replacement of the liner and re-fiiting of the
leachate collection system outflow into the pond. Bannock County will contract the liner installer who
will perform the replacement and a re-inspection to confirm installation was adequate directly.
•
CDM Smith will develop a construction quality assurance (CQA) work plan for review and
approval by IDEQ prior to replacement of the liner. This plan will include schematics of upgrades
and minor changes to the leachate system as it enters the Cell 2 pond in order to facilitate
maintenance and monitoring.
•
CDM Smith will coordinate with the liner installer to perform the replacement when the leachate
in the pond is sufficiently evaporated (i.e., leachate level is below the lowest elevation leak).
•
CDM Smith will provide one qualified staff member for oversight of the replacement and
subsequent leak testing.
Deliverable:
Representative work products developed for this task may include:
•
A CQA work plan for review by IDEQ
•
A report documenting the upgrades and liner replacement and the re-inspection will be
submitted within fourteen days of the completion of the fieldwork.

Task 15M – Fort Hall Creek Infiltration Reduction Evaluation and Design
This task will build on the hydrologic data evaluation completed under Task Orders 13 and 14 to finalize
an infiltration-reduction design for Fort Hall Creek along the east side of Cell 1. Infiltration from the creek
in this area may increase leaching from Cell 1 waste to groundwater. CDM Smith prepared a preliminary
diversion design under Task Order 8. Hydrologic data collected since that design was developed were
evaluated and summarized in the Fort Hall Canyon Creek Evaluation Report under Task Orders 12 and 13,
which will be submitted with the Site Characterization Report. CDM Smith will incorporate this prior work
into the Fort Hall Canyon Creek Design Report, including engineering drawings for the infiltration-
reduction design and an evaluation of the anticipated reduction in groundwater infiltration adjacent to
Cell 1 compared with current creek conditions.
Completion of the Fort Hall Creek infiltration-reduction design is contingent on securing grant funding in
2027 and the outcome of the ongoing FEMA floodway evaluation. If funding is not secured or the
floodway evaluation does not support advancing the design, the conceptual design will instead be
evaluated as a potential site remedy in the Alternatives Evaluation Report.
15M.1 Fort Hall Creek Infiltration Reduction Design Report
Activities:
The Fort Hall Creek infiltration evaluation and reduction design will be developed and reported under
Task Order 15. CDM Smith will perform the following activities under this task:

Task 15T – Alternatives Evaluations Report
The 2016 Consent Order (CO) requires Bannock County to evaluate remedial alternatives for the Fort Hall
Mine Landfill. Building on the conceptual evaluation completed under Task Order 8, CDM Smith will
prepare an updated Alternatives Evaluation Report that incorporates the revised conceptual site model
presented in the Site Characterization Report; technology performance data from remediation system
operation and maintenance; and results from the Phase I and Phase II pilot studies. The pilot study
evaluation will include the tracer study, Phase I hydraulic slurry injections, Phase II well-directed
injections, and two years of performance monitoring. This data will be used to refine estimates of
technology performance, operation and maintenance requirements, and life-cycle costs for the
technologies evaluated. Given the site’s complex conditions, remedial alternatives will combine one or
more technologies or actions to reduce COC mass leaching from Cell 1 and COC flux from Fort Hall
Canyon Creek to the Portneuf Valley Aquifer while meeting the site’s short- and long-term objectives.
15T.1 Prepare Draft and Final Alternatives Evaluation Report
Activities:
•
Update and calibrate the predictive three-dimensional DYNE groundwater model using the
revised conceptual site model and the latest groundwater monitoring, hydraulic, tracer-study,
and pilot-study data. Use the model to evaluate baseline conditions and predict how candidate
remedial technologies and actions may affect groundwater flow, COC transport, leaching from
Cell 1, and COC flux from Fort Hall Canyon Creek to the Portneuf Valley Aquifer.
•
Refine the remedial alternatives using the updated Site Characterization Report and conceptual
site model; remediation system O&M and performance data; and findings from the tracer study,
Phase I hydraulic slurry injections, Phase II well-directed injections, and two years of performance
monitoring. Define the technologies and complementary actions included in each alternative,
along with their anticipated performance, implementability, O&M requirements, limitations, and
monitoring needs.
•
Compare the alternatives against the site’s short- and long-term remedial objectives using
consistent criteria, including predicted COC mass and flux reduction, technical effectiveness,
reliability, implementability, regulatory and permitting considerations, environmental impacts,
sustainability, schedule, monitoring requirements, and cost. Recommend a preferred remedial
approach, which may combine multiple technologies or actions, and document the basis for the
recommendation.
•
Update planning-level cost estimates for each retained alternative and the recommended
approach, including capital construction, permitting, implementation, routine and non-routine
O&M, performance monitoring, periodic rehabilitation or replacement, and long-term
management costs. Develop life-cycle cost estimates using consistent assumptions and identify
major cost drivers, uncertainties, and potential sequencing or phasing considerations.
•
CDM Smith will conduct a technical review committee (TRC) meeting to complete an
independent review of the task to validate the project approach, assumptions, and scope align
with the project goals. Additionally, CDM Smith will affirm data being used is complete and
32
BOARD OF BANNOCK COUNTY COMMISSIONERS' - MEETING

appropriate. Finally, CDM Smith will evaluate the alternatives with respect to relative costs,
technical merit, project requirements, and efficacy of each.
Deliverables:
•
Draft Alternatives Evaluations Report
•
Draft-Final Alternatives Evaluations Report
•
Final Alternative Evaluations Report
Assumptions:

remediation, geotechnical engineering, and process engineering, along with four CDM Smith
technical staff. Meeting preparation time is also included. The multidisciplinary panel will
review the data, assumptions, evaluation criteria, and alternatives to confirm that all viable
technologies are considered and that the decision process is independently vetted and
technically confirmed.
Task 15U – Remedial Design/Remedial Action Planning
Following completion of the Site Characterization Report and Alternatives Evaluation Report, CDM Smith
will initiate remedial design (RD) and remedial action (RA) planning for the selected full-scale remedy.
Because this work is expected to begin near the end of Task Order 15, the current scope is limited to
initial implementation planning, coordination, and development of the future RD/RA scope. The planning
effort will evaluate practical implementation options, including phased construction, sequencing of
remedial components, long-term budgeting and funding needs, and prioritization of actions expected to
provide the greatest near-term progress toward the site’s remedial objectives. These evaluations will
establish a defensible implementation framework and support more detailed design, scheduling,
budgeting, and execution under future task orders.
15U.1 Preliminary Remedial Design/Remedial Action Planning
Activities:
•
Two meetings with Bannock County to discuss remedial design concepts and prioritization.
•

Meeting Notes
1
9:00 AM Hough called the meeting to order. Community Resources and Advocacy Director Shantal
Laulu presented applications for cremation assistance for case numbers 20260033 and 20260034. Moser
moved to approve releases of lien for case numbers 20180276 and 20010136, approve the application for
case number 20260034 and deny the application for case number 20260033. The motion passed.

9:03 AM Sheriff Tony Manu, Representative Erin Bingham from Idaho Falls, and Morgan Anderson with
SIPH also appeared. Hough explained the invitation for Ms. Jones to present today was a result from
discussions last week with her and other entities she’s been working with to ban Kratom sales. Jones
explained her niece overdosed on Kratom, one of six people doing so in an 18-month period. A lot of
people don’t know what Kratom is, but it’s a natural herb. It’s being marketed as natural and safe. It’s in
gas stations and vape shops, and also in drinks next Gatorades.
9:05 AM Anderson shared he coordinates the drug overdose prevention program. Over the last year,
concern has risen with the uptick in Kratom use locally and nationally. The DEA has temporarily
scheduled the potent version of Kratom, 7-OH, as a controlled substance. In low doses, Kratom acts like
caffeine, but in high doses, it acts like an opioid and is very addicting. There is not a lot of awareness
regarding Kratom and no age regulations. Teens can buy it. The street name is “gas station heroin.”
People think it’s a natural supplement and are using Kratom as an alternative, but it’s not healthy, nor a
safe alternative.
9:09 AM Bingham explained she tried to address a Kratom ban at the state level. A lot of people never
heard of it, but it is referred to as gas station heroin. The FDA warning was reviewed. Bingham carried a
bill that got stuck in committee. Before going forward with the bill, she talked to law enforcement,
doctors, and psychologists who all said it needs to be banned. Other municipality bans were reviewed.
Bingham explained the difference between natural vs. 7-OH. Kratom is a leaf imported from SE Asia.
Every so-called natural product in the United States is not the leaf, but contains it. In the U.S., it is
massive amounts of crushed up leaves. When consumed, the body converts it to 7-OH. The industry has
synthesized 7-OH. The issues include no consistent packaging or data, no idea on potency, and no
warnings for addiction or overdose. There have been eight deaths in Bonneville County. The cause of
death for Jones’s niece was mitragynine toxicity. There was no indication she was taking anything other
than prescribed medication. This is a $7 billion industry. Coroners only started testing for mitragynine
toxicity three years ago and not every coroner tests for it. The addiction and withdrawals are worse than
heroin.
9:22 AM Manu and Iverson reviewed that Kratom is a big topic currently and a previous example of a
past case was discussed.
9:26 AM Discussion ensued on state legislation, big money fighting against passing any kind of ban, and
Bingham fighting forces she didn’t know existed.
9:28 AM Johnson explained the procedures the Prosecutor can/can’t take.
9:29 AM Discussion ensued on enforcement, drafting an ordinance, sanctions for sales, joining with local
jurisdictions, potency variances, and banning both 7-OH and natural Kratom. Discussions will be had
with local jurisdictions.
3
9:37 AM Romriell reviewed a rental agreement for 2-3 weeks for a mastic machine. Moser moved to
approve the rental of the mastic machine. The motion passed.
4
9:39 AM Dye reviewed a contract for the statutory mandate for a law library. This is for the community to
have access. Bullock moved to approve the contract with vLex for the law library. The motion passed.
5
9:41 AM Dye reviewed that counseling services are already being provided and those counsellors have
now created a company. It’s requested to enter into a contract with this company, Mountain Healing

Counseling. The rates would increase from $70-$78 per hour following the Medicaid rate. The contract
would be paid from the domestic violence grant, and if the grant is not awarded in the future, the contract
will end. Moser moved to approve the contract coinciding with grant funding. Discussion ensued on
review of the contract. The motion was amended to allow signature upon receipt of contract. The motion
passed.
9:48 AM Crystal reviewed a master services contract and task orders with Booth Architecture. Insurance
terms were reviewed for the master services contract. Bullock moved to approve the agreement with
Booth. The motion passed. Crystal reviewed the first of four task orders is for a conceptual master plan
for the new property and Booth has offered to complete this with no charge. Hough moved to approve
Task Order 1. The motion passed.
9:53 AM Regarding Task Order 2 for the livestock buildings at the fairgrounds for $52,500, Hough
requested to pull this item after discussions at IAC regarding fairs and getting MOU’s in place. Facilities
Director Dan Kendall approached. There are concerns with rights of way and having an MOU with the
fair board. Bullock moved to table the task order. Kendall shared thoughts on the task orders. The motion
passed.
9:56 AM Crystal reviewed Task Orders 3 and 4 are for the old jail remodel and bridge connector. Task
Order 3 for the remodel will take about 90 days for $163,300. Discussion ensued on tying in the elevators.
Kendall explained the elevators are becoming obsolete and he was informed there are some parts that are
no longer available. The elevators can fit in that budget. No engineering will be required. Bullock moved
to accept Tasks 3 and 4. Discussion ensued that Task 4 is the sky bridge for $77,500. Hough called for a
vote on Task 3. The motion passed. Hough moved to approve Task Order 4. The motion passed.
6
10:00 AM Evans reviewed updated contract with built in increases over 5 years. Discussion ensued on the
term, rates, other municipality use, revenues, and projections for revenue and expansion. Bullock moved
to approve the contract with a term of 3 years instead of 5. The motion passed.
7
10:09 AM Klauser explained the Juvenile Detention server discussed previously will not be delivered by
the end of FY26. Looking at options to use the FY27 budget, an additional $11,854 from the original
quote is needed. It was recommended to use contingency.
10:10 AM IT Director Adam McKinney expressed that his department doesn’t manage that server and
only houses it. The server is at its lifetime capacity and is due for a refresh. Prices have nearly doubled on
tech items and that trend won’t change. Klauser pointed out these funds would be paid back in FY28.
Bullock moved to authorize the payment from contingency. The motion passed.
10:12 AM Klauser reviewed recurring payments. Those that require invoices include Portneuf Valley
Development, Portneuf Soil, and Veterans Memorial. There are 3 internal contributions that will be kept
on check request format, Event Center, concerts, and July 4.
10:14 AM IOEM training spots have been filled by the new director, Bullock, and IT.
