WSA member Carson Johnson called the project “a dream,” one which he added he never expected to see fulfilled.
A dispute with the project’s principal contractor was also resolved in November. Perry Engineering agreed to pay $7,600 in damages due to an eight-day overrun past the completion date of Jan. 5,1986.
7) Sludge, specifically spreading it on Rappahannock’s farmland, continued to be a topic of controversy this year. Early in the spring, following a public hearing, the supervisors voted to continue a moratorium approved earlier. Despite a request from the Water and Sewer Authority to allow sludge from Sperryville’s treatment system to be spread, the supervisors declined to approve that plan.
They were advised by Commonwealth’s Attorney Peter Luke that the precedent might make it legally impossible to prevent sludge from being brought from outside the county to be disposed of here by land application.
The decision, however, left the WSA in a bind, especially since Mr. Forman had refused earlier to allow the sludge to be disposed of in the landfill.
After protracted negotiations dragged on through the summer and fall, the WSA announced early in December that a hauler, Rosebud Waste Hauling Co. of Culpeper, had agreed to dispose of the sludge generated by the Sperryville system.
