(Continued from Page 1) help study the issue of sludge in Rappahannock, and 2) that an ordinance be drafted calling for a moratorium on the application and storage of sludge brought in from outside the county.
The purpose of the moratorium would be to preserve the “status quo" while conducting a study on the county's capacity for sludge application.
Any such study would attempt to determine three things: 1) How much land technically qualifies for the application of sludge. 2) How much of that land would actually be available, meaning would the owners sell it? and 3) How much land is needed by the county?
Commonwealth’s Attorney Petef Luke confirmed that the county could not legally enact a moratorium unless a study was being conducted. He reminded the Board that a moratorium is only a temporary solution. “The county has to be moving forward toward some ultimate resolution of this matter.”
Wayne Cilimberg, when asked if PD9 would conduct a study on sludge for Rappahannock, said that PD9 could not do it this fiscal year but that it could offer immediate assistance in other ways. He also told the supervisors that he could refer them to other organizations capable of conducting the study.
Then a motion passed to advertise for public hearing the proposed ordinance calling for a moratorium on sludge coming into the county. Included in the motion was a request that both Cilimberg and Dennis help to make the moratorium legitimate by assisting in the required study.
