“The only aspect,” Mr. Joyce replied, “would be natural soils with better permeability; also considering boil depths and the amount of excavation . . . Yes, you may find the perfect site — maybe not.”
“It disturbs me,” said Chairman Hubert Gilkey, “that people have alleged that we will put in a slipshod thing.”
“That’s totally unreal,” Mr. Miller said. “If you look at the regulations, I think most people understand what the state is going to require. They are not going to let us dig a pit and throw garbage into it.”
“The permit and site plan for a landfill we did in Caroline County ran 8-10 pages,” Mr. Joyce added. “It’s not practical to assume that something is going to be done in a slipshod manner. The state will have its engineers and geo-technical people on site — to see that it is being built according to the plan and the engineering.”
Lorraine Early, one of the leaders of the Concerned Citizens of Jackson District Committee, pressed the board for another site. She pointed out that the soils association map in the Comprehensive Plan lists 54,000 acres of the type soils found on the Stover tract. There are also 112 wells to the east of the Amissville Methodist Church, she added, and there are fractures which run throughout the area. “I feel that we are due an (environmental) impact statement from the EPA.”
Mrs. Early’s request drew no response from the board.
After Mr. Miller offered a motion to amend the plan, it was approved, 4-1. Jackson District Supervisor A1 Henry cast the lone dissenting vote.
