DIDN’T get the impression... that if a place was suitable, the BZA wouldn’t take it under consideration pretty seriously,” said Chairman Herbert Barksdale. He insisted that if a satisfactory place for a landfill could be found, ‘‘not down in a creek”, the applicant could get a permit.

Luke charged that the opinion of the VPI soil scientist cited at the meeting was not really valid since the man was an agricultural soil expert, not a heavy construction specialist. ‘‘He went down 54 inches. He didn’t know what’s there three feet down.”

The special use permit was, in actuality, only a request for the opportunity to make a final determination on the tract’s suitability for a landfill, Luke claimed.
