Ongoing City Involvement in Response and Remediation Actions.

The City anticipates that ERL and the City's Fire Department will need to engage in ongoing planning and communication about fire prevention and firefighting at the Landfill. 1.16. Purpose. This Agreement is entered into for the purposes of: (1) establishing the principles of association between the City as the host community to the Landfill and ERL as the owner and operator of the Landfill; and (2) providing compensation to the City for the anticipated direct and indirect costs associated with the presence and operation of the Landfill in the City, including the social and economic effects of the Landfill on the city and the City's image and the City's costs for response and remediation activities, ongoing permitting activities, and emergency preparedness planning. -4-
