disposal area can start, “it will be mid-Mav before we start moving dirt out there," Mr. Joyce said.
“So let's move!" agreed Mr. Lane.
“I don’t think the (Department of Waste Management’s) comments on the design plan should be answered in isolation," inteijected Col. Bingham, questioning whether the engineer should meet alone with the department’s engineers and have the authority to make changes in the proposed landfill design.
"111 personally hand-deliver any comments from the state to every board member so you’ll be kept informed,” Mr. McCarthy replied.
“Mr. Joyce has the engineering degree, and he has the expertise. That’s why we hired him . . . We should show him respect and give him some leeway." said Chairman Gilkey. “I don’t think he’s going to sell us down the river or do anything that’s going to come back to haunt us. I have seen him in action, and I have no problem with him dealing one-on-one with the people in Richmond. If every decision has to come back to us, it's going to push us twro weeks further back every time."
"But I don't want to see decisions made unilaterally that can hurt the citizens of Jackson District," argued Col. Bingham.
"I don’t think any member here is that callous!” countered Mr. Gilkey, affirming that the board will be immediately apprised of any exchanges between Mr. Joyce and the engineers at the Department of Waste Management.
"No one wants to hurt the citizens of Jackson District,” added Supervisor Lane.
The vote to approve the final design plan for the landfill at the Stov er tract was 4-1, with Col. Bingham alone in opposition.
cars are valuable —fine. We say, ‘Either sell them for what you think you can get or pay the taxes and put tags on them’."
Mr. McCarthy said that the county hopes that the voluntary program will clear up the problems, and that legal action will not be necessary. But that does remain as a last resort, he added.
The program is being handled through Mr. McCarthy's Building and Zoning Office, located on Main Street in Washington. A" form must be completed by the owner of the cars giving the county permission for Mr. Wood to haul them away. For information or copies of the form, stop bv the office or call 6753342.
Mr. McCarthy added that in some cases it may take dry w eather for Mr. Wood to be able to get to the cars. With the recent rains some of the areas w here cars are abandoned — logically, often in inaccessible places — are hard to get to.
Also, he said, the county has given Mr. Wood permission to temporarily stockpile hulks at locations where he is working until he gets enough to make a load to haul to his scrapyard. “In cases of major junkyards being cleared, the county is allowing Mr. Wood to use that area to crush and accumulate an amount of cars to reduce his costs of hauling. We will keep it moving — it is not something he will establish.”
