Landfill hearing October 14 By DAPHNE McCULLOUGH RAPPAHANNOCK may take another step towards solving the county’s trash problem this month. On October 14 at 9 a.m., the Board of Zoning Appeals is scheduled to hear a request for a special use permit to operate a landfill outside of Sperryville on Route 522. Mr. and Mrs. E. B. Updike’s Community Trash was awarded the county trash contract at the August meeting of the Rappahannock Supervisors. The following week, the Updikes were underbid for the Orange County trash contract and subsequently, the Orange Supervisors voted to close their landfill to Rappahannock in 90 days. In an attempt to find a solution to the trash disposal problem and not default on their Rappahannock contract, the Updikes located a landowner willing to sell them a piece of property to use as a landfill. Located on Route 522 between Culpeper and Sperryville, the 36.92-acre site is in agricultural district, making it necessary for the Upidikes to first obtain a special use permit. According to Mrs. Updike, the sale contract is conditional and hinges upon the receipt of the special use permit. District Solid Waste Management Director R. H. Foreman has given the site tentative approval. Final approval processing would include a detailed investigation by a soil scientist or soil technition and State Water Control Board geology study, according to Foreman. “WE would use a back hoe and go as deep as we can to study the strata, looking for the water table,” said Foreman. “We would like a 20-foot depth of easily excavatable soil.” This is not a hard and fast regulation, though, explained Foreman and wouldn’t preclude a site with soils only workable to 12 to 14 feet. Primarily, the area needs to be well drained, with a slope of eight to ten degrees, Foreman said. The landfill would be excavated from the deepest part to the drain and all water would have to drain from the working area. “If it can be compacted and kept away from water, solid waste decomposes so slowly that it causes no problem, no degradation to the environment,” noted Foreman. “Soils that are usually optimal for agricultural use—prime ag soils—are also optimal for landfill use,” Foreman said. Red soil indicates plenty of oxygen and air movement and is particularly desirable for a landfill site. “The redder the better,” commented Foreman. Yellow, blue or mottled soil is a sign that the ground is poorly drained and usually indicates that the water table has been reached. “The best soils are usually precluded from landfill use because of citizen complaints,” maintained Foreman. But landfill operation is so regulated that when it is handled properly, there really should be no complaints. “I honestly would not mind if one was put in my own backyard,” said Foreman. STATE regulations require that trash be compacted and covered iWWWiuww v-JJMWI * . — -— - A Colorado blue spruce was donated to and planted on the grounds of Rappahannock County High School as a living memorial to the bicentennial celebration by the Piedmont Board of Realtors which embraces membership from Rappahannock, Madison, Orange and Culpeper counties.

Only cellulose materials may be burned and in a county the size of Rappahannock; this should only have to be done two or three times a year, according to Foreman. He also said that a recycling program could be used to dispose of large, bulky items. The material could be stored and picked up by a private contractor once a month. State regulations require a gate be installed to limit access to the landfill but there are no fencing requirements except in special circumstances, said Foreman. However, natural screening of the site must be maintained. In regard to privately owned landfills, Foreman said regulations governing their use are the same as those applied to public facilities. Foreman’s area of responsibility includes 17 counties See Page 2 Bicentennial costume ball A Bicentennial Costume Ball will be held at the old Washington School on Friday night, November 12, from 9 to 1. “Dress in a costume representative of any period during these two hundred years,” said Mrs. Virginia Miller, “and join us for a festive evening. ’ ’ Tickets are $10 a person for a table of four or more, or $12 for an individual ticket, and are now available from Mrs. Miller at Washington.

SARAH C. LATHAM, Managing Editor Telephone Washington 675-3349 ‘Growth’ is costly LOUDOUN County is beginning to experience a classic subdivision headache which is bound to get worse as time goes on. The situation arises like this: A developer comes in and promises the moon, and for awhile it even seems that he is prepared to make good on the promise. Streets are paved, drainageways installed, median grass strips .kept mowed and neat, sidewalks laid down. (This is an extreme case of a “good” developer, remember; some of them fight the addition of any “amenity,” tooth and nail.) But what happens when the “good” developer sells all his lots or houses? He moves out, leaving a whole batch of new problems for the local government to deal with. If a homeowners association was formed when the neighborhood was just beginning, it is often without adequate resources to deal with the magnitude of the problems dumped in its corporate lap. So what happens? The local government, either town or county, is forced to step in, and everybody—old residents and new residents alike—have to pick up the tab, in the form of increased taxes. SOME development advocates still maintain that “development pays for itself,” that all new construction actually provides tax benefits which outbalance the additional burdens that are created. If that were so, then why isn’t the tax rate so low that no one could notice it in Northern Virginia, or in Prince William? Why isn’t a city like New York solvent? Why aren’t the areas which have experienced the greatest growth and “progress” the ones with the least number of financial problems? The answers, to our way of thinking, are obvious. If the lesson of our neighbors isn’t heeded, it will become even more painfully obvious—in the form of constantly rising local tax rates. □ Landfill hearing From Pam I * " and nine cities with approximately 51 landfills in operation. He said that he had closed down two of the seven private landfills in the state in the last six months because of failure to comply with regulations. TRASH disposal is “one of the biggest expenditures that any government will have in the next few years,” maintained Foreman, as regulations become more and more stringent. He claimed that laws have gotten stricter each year over the last five years in accordance with Environmental Protection Agency guidelines. In particular, erosion control ordinances have been tightened. In policing landfill operations, Foreman relies on the threat of revoking an operator’s license to force compliance with regulations. So far, he said, it had not been necessary to take a violator to court. \ targe part of enforcement problems has been caused by the difficulty in determining whose responsibility the landfill operation is, Foreman said. “Local counties have to stop passing the buck and take care of their own problems.” In his opinion, Rappahannock County is only “postponing the inevitable” by opting in favor of a privately owned landfill rather than one owned by the county. Foreman said that Federal grants are available to buy the land for a landfill site and that the County should buy now rather than in five years when the price of land has climbed even higher. “The county is abdicating its responsibility,” he concluded. □ 2512 registered voters here When the voter registration books closed Saturday, the last day on which to register before the November election, the total number of eligible voters in Rappahannock County was 2512. The breakdown given by Mrs. Mary Cleverely, Registrar, was: Hampton District 595; Jackson District 430; Piedmont District 465; Stonewall District 468; Wakefield District 554. The Registrar will be in her office at the courthouse in Washington on Thursdays, October 7, 14, 21 and 28 and Saturdays, October 23 and 30 to accommodate those who need to vote absentee in person. If you will be unable to go to the polls on election day for a valid reason, you may vote in person at the Registrar’s office on those days. RAPP CHATS By RAP OWINGS Extension Agent, Agriculture FEEDER CALF AND YEARLING SALES—Feeder cattle prices in most area state graded sales during the last half of September ran 3 to 4 cents a pound under last year. 2471 head of steer calves, average weight 507 pounds, sold for an average of $36.94 per C.W.T.,-^ 1761 head of heifer calves, average weight 464 pounds, averaged $26 50 2578 yearling steers, average weight 723, averaged $35.89 and 1460 head of yearling heifers, average weight 602 pounds, averaged $28.12 Nominations are due now for most of the second series of state graded sales. Area sales taking place in October are. Madison Yearling Sale (Culpeper Enterprises) October 14; Winchester Calf and Yearling Sale, October 15; Front Royal Calf and Yearling Sale, October 26; Culpeper Feeder Calf Sale, October 28, 1 p.m.; Marshall Feeder Calf, October 28, 7 p.m.; Winchester Calf and Yearling, October 29. Blackleg—Vaccinating calves for blackleg and malignant edema is standard operating procedure on most cattle farms. However, we sometimes become lax and drift along for a couple of years without vaccinating with no problems. Then, bang. One morning you go out to check your cattle and there are two or three of your best yearlings laying stiff legged and bloated in the field. There have been several death losses from blackleg in the county in the past two weeks. Blackleg occurs in cattle from six months to three years of age, but the highest incidence is in young stock ranging from weaning age to two years. When vaccinating for blackleg and malignant edema be sure to follow the directions on the label regarding storage. Vaccinating with old vaccine or vaccine that has been exposed to heat and air is often just a waste of time. Boar Sale—The number of feeder pig producers in the county consigning to state graded sales had trippled within the past two years. About half of these producers are being penalized in prices received because too many of their pigs are grading below U.S. No. 1 and 2. The only way to correct this situation is to buy higher quality, better performing breeding stock. The Virginia Purebred Swine Breeders Association is sponsoring a boar and gilt sale Wednesday, October 13, 7 p.m., at the Madison Livestock Market, Madison Mills. There will be three bred sows, 17 open gilts and 21 boars offered for sale. Field Day at The Middleburg Forage Research Station, October 14, 1:30 p.m.—You are invited to join us in a tour of the Forage Research Station and observe the results of the forage and pasture research plots. This will be an ideal time to see the different forage systems and how the cows and calves have responded to them. If you would like to go...give me a call (675-3619) and we will meet at the Extension Office and pool transportation.□ Democrats plan rally The Seventh District Democrats are sponsoring an old fashioned picnic and rally on Sunday, October 10 from 3 to 6 p.m. at Graves Mountain Lodge at Syria.

Have appliances and electrical wiring checked periodically for defects. NEVER SMOKE IN BED. For extra protection, install early warning smoke and heat detection systems... Home is where a man hangs his hat. Home is also where a man runs the greatest risk of losing his life in a fire. V-__ A man’s castle could turn into a night* marish maze when fire strikes if there is no prearranged escape plan... Roll over on the ground or floor if your clothing ignites.. .Running will only help to fan the flames. LEARN NOT TO BURN ... Most fires occur between midnight and 6 a.m. So always sleep with your bedroom door closed. Once out stay out. No treasure — not even the family pet, is worth risking a human life. The rule is simple; STOP, Drop and Roll. Stop wherever you are. Drop down on the spot — in doors or out—Rollover and over until the flames are gone. Observe Fire Prevention Week 1976 from Oct. 3-9 and all year round... Learn not to Burn.
