(Robert Forman of the health department’s division of solid and hazardous waste management estimates that capacity at the county’s privately owned and operated landfill will be reached in approximately two months and has directed that a closure plan be submitted. According to Mr. Forman, approval of a new site will take from six months to a year.)
