tion two years from now,” warned the technical services chief. If all the Stover tract was usable as a landfill, “it would pobably answer the county’s needs for the next 50 to 70 years,” Mr. Wright said. That “may or may not be the case. . .It may answer the county’s needs on a short term basis,” he concluded.

The Board of Supervisors is aware the redesign work must be submitted for the next phase of the landfill, said Mr. McCarthy, adding that necessary geotechnical studies are already underway.
Addressing the economic feasibility, he pointed out that the redesign from a trench disposal system to an area fill has not occasioned an increase in cost. The two methods of landfilling carry essentially the same price tag, he said. “Nothing we’ve seen indicates that this is going to be any more expensive that anybody else’s landfill,” Mr. McCarthy reported, adding that the facility on the Stover tract will probably end up being a combination of trench and area fill.
“Most of the cost is* behind us: $90,000 for the road —that won’t come again; almost that much for the leachate pond and the sedimentation and erosion pond — that won’t come again either; the building, the well, the power into the site, the main line leachate collection system, the fence around the leachate pond — those are all one-time expenses.
