The engineer said that the department’s geologist will probably yrant to see more geotechnic work on the balance of the site to better define the rick ridges. “I’ll find out what we need . . . The only question mark is the availability pf borrow material” should the worst case scenario become a reality and excavation be impossible anywhere on the Stover tract. If subsequent phases of the landfill must be “area fill” instead of trench disposal, more seismic lines will be needed to confirm the availability of sufficient dirt for a cover, he explained. “But I’m not concerned. My gut feeling, based on what I’ve seen and what I know about the site, is that there’s plenty of borrow material.”
Once the state’s okay has been received, Mr. Joyce will meet with representatives from Rappawan Construction and begin negotiations for a “firm price” on the work for the new design. Then this Friday, Mr. Joyce will report to the board on his progress at a special meeting set for 7 p.m.
