While stopping short of ordering the detailed groundwater study sought by the Jackson District Citizens Committee, the Department of Waste Management’s chief of technical studies has asked engineer Leonard Joyce to include additional data in the final design plans submitted by the county for its proposed landfill on the 100acre Stover tract.
At the close of last Friday’s 3'/2-hour meeting with representatives from the Citizens Committee, Berry Wright requested Mr. Joyce to “investigate more closely” (1) the inclusion of a leachate lagoon in the first phase of construction, (2) the value of the shallow aquifer, and (3) the site’s potential for flooding as measured by the 100-year flood level.
“What I have to get from him are the answers,” Mr. Wright said, adding that the question of whether to do additional borings for more extensive examination of the groundwater systems at the site “is between the county and Mr. Joyce.”
Friday’s meeting began with complaints over work done to date to clear an 100-foot right-of-way 1,500 to 1,600 feet into the Stover tract.
“It’s a disgrace to the piece of property,” said Bobby Carter, reporting that trees have been pushed over and left in piles at the site.
Construction has been limited to the access road, according to John McCarthy, administrative assistant to the Board of Supervisors. He explained that no lumber companies bid on tree removal because most of the trees were good only for pulp.
