The development of Rappahannock’s first county-owned and operated landfill continues at the 99-acre Stover tract near Amissville, “but before we dump even one cigarette wrapper, we’ll run seismic lines over the whole rest of the proposed fill area,” county administrator John McCarthy affirmed this week. “There will be no dumping, no liner installed, no construction of the leachate ponds, none of that until the new plan is approved by the state.”
The discovery of rock ridges in the initial trench area three weeks ago required a redesign of the landfill’s phase I, which is intended to provide refuse capacity for three to five years.
The new plans, which include steepening the final grade from 7:1 to 3:1 slope, raising the final elevation by 15 feet, relocating the leachate collection and sediment control ponds, and possibly leveling rock ridges to give additional disposal space, are now before the Department of Waste Management in Richmond, Mr. McCarthy said Tuesday. “We should know in 48 hours,” he said, adding that the county expects approval, given the department’s concurrence last week with engineer Leonard Joyce’s overall concept for compensation for the rock ridges.
Mr. Joyce and the two geologists who recently inspected the site think seismic studies will show rock ridges extending through the balance of the property “but they also expect to find good soil depths between those ridges,” Mr. McCarthy said. In that event, the landfill will be redesigned “to meet those existing conditions," he added. “It doesn’t act to make the site unusable.”
