►Fluff
From Page A-l
The agreement will expire at the end of December 1993 when the county has to switch to a new landfill cell with a double liner. The cell that will be used during the life of the contract with Davis Industries is expected to last through December 1993. The contract provides that the county can end the contract with a 30-day notice if the agreement is not in the county’s interest.
County Administrator John McCarthy said he wanted such a provision in the contract in case the landfill cell starts to fill up faster than expected. The contract also calls for ending the agreement if there are any environmental problems with “fluff.”
Representatives from Davis Industries have already agreed to most of the terms of the contract, but they had suggested paying $23 per ton, which is the amount they are paying now to the landfill near Richmond where the “fluff’ is currently being hauled.
The four members of the board who supported the contract felt it would be to the county’s interest to use space in a landfill cell that has to be abandoned in 1994 to take “fluff” and be paid to take it rather than use dirt to fill the space. With the new cell that will be used after January 1994, the fabric cover will be the only cover placed over the trash each day.
