ply was directed to Susan Lane, who told the council that Robert Forman, from the state Division of Solid Waste Management, told her that “I can’t tell you exactly where the site is, but if you stand at Massie’s Corner you can see it.”
Mr. Miller agreed that the view from Massie’s Corner is one of two beautiful ones on Rt. 211. “When you come down the hill from Amissville, you think you’re coming into heaven. And then, when you get to Massie’s Corner, you know you were right the first time.”
Mr. Miller said that “I represent Hampton District, and I will do what my constituents in Hampton District want to do. . . . It’s not true that the supervisors haven’t looked diligently. . . . There’s not a place in the county where you couldn’t get this many people to oppose the site.
“I will go with the residents of Hampton District. But when we don’t have a place to dump the garbage on July 1, I want you to back me just like you are backing me now,” Mr. Miller concluded.
Mr. Wickens asked if any thought had been given to a temporary landfill to take care of the county’s needs until one of several resource recovery facilities now under construction is completed.
Mr. Miller replied that the startup costs for the landfill are the problem. “The equipment, the road, the cost of monitoring wells . . . it’s a tremendous amount of money.”
The council unanimously passed a resolution requesting the Board of Supervisors “to consider alternate sites for the landfill.” It expressed the concerns of the council members; representing the residents lyho called on council members to express their feelings; about the potential problems with “traffic, smells, rodents, pollution, out-of-county trash and water contamination.”
