Although the state’s Departme^; of Waste Management has not yet issued a permit for the proposed landfill, Mr. McCarthy advised proceeding with the bid process for constructing a road into the site. “It will add value to the site, even if the state says we can’t put a landfill there.”
“THe whole driving force here is the clock," concurred Mr. Joyce, referring to Rappahannock's contract with Culpeper which ends in midApril.
As yet, the board has been unable to find a municipality willing to accept the county’s solid waste after that date; if an alternative can’t be worked out, the supervisors face an estimated $1,000 a day bill for hauling to a private landfill near Richmond for disposal.
In a series of votes at Wednesday's meeting, the board:
• Approved a letter to the Department of Waste Management urging “all deliberate speed" in review of the final design plans for the proposed landfill and asking for a prompt alert “of any deficiencies in data, design, or planning, so that they may be corrected.”
• Directed that copies of the letter be sent to the county’s representatives in the General Assembly.
• Authorized Mr. McCarthy to solicit bids for building 600 feet of gravel road going from the state road to a point just beyond the public convenience area.
