He called for the study of leachate collected at the current landfill to determine actual problems arising, from waste generated in Rappahannock. Mr. Silverman pointed but that the Federal Clean Water Act passed last year over the president’s veto defines municipal landfill leachate as a pollution discharge for this first time. And as a pollution discharge, it requires a pollution elimination discharge permit, the same as a sewage treatment plant, he informed the supervisors. Any leachate collected at a landfill must be treated on site or trucked elsewhere, Mr. Silverman noted, asking what role, the Sperryville sewage plant will play in meeting this requirement.
Finally, he called on the board to inventory all of Rappahannock to determine the best sites for waste stor-' age. “It is a serious mistake to confine the search to willing sellers,” Mr. Silverman maintained. “This effectively limits the candidates to lands owned by absentee speculators. The power of eminent domain is the proper tool for decisions of this ’sort,” he told the board. “Suitable sites should be explored as a security measure .should the Stover site prove to be inappropriate, and as a future resource.”
