“Who from the county is going to monitor this?” she asked. “How are we going to know what’s being put in there?”
Identifying himself as the landowner nearest the proposed dump site, Henry Campbell told the Supervisors that he would be looking after the operation on weekends. He noted that Mr. List will be hauling only 8-9 loads a day. “More trucks than that were going in there when it was used as a quarry.”
“Debris landfills are a growing source of controversy throughout the region,” said Robert Dennis, Piedmont Environmental Council president who lives near Flint Hill. He noted the tremendous opposition in neighboring Culpeper County last month to a proposal for a landfill there to handle construction debris from rapidly developing jurisdictions to the north. After listening to comments at a standing-room-only public hearing, the Culpeper Planning Commissioners voted unanimously to recommend that the Board of Supervisors deny the rezoning required for the debris landfill, Mr. Dennis reported.
Prince William, Fairfax and Loudoun, counties experiencing tremendous amounts of construction, all require that debris be disposed of in public landfills where it can be properly monitored, he told the Rappahannock Supervisors. “It’s cheaper (for contractors) to carry the debris long distances than to pay the fees charged for disposal in a public landfill.”
He questioned the advisability of using an old quarry for any type of disposal. “It’s difficult to make secure a site which has been quarried,” he said.
