The supervisors have met in executive session each month for several months at the end of their meetings to discuss “the condition, acquisition and/or use of property for public purposes,” presumably the purchase of land for school expansion and the location of a new trash collection site. At the end of each meeting they report “no action was taken.” Thus, it seems unlikely that a new site will be available by October 1.
Jackson District representative Ellis Bingham reported at last week’s meeting that he believed the county could get an extension of the monitoring regulations for six months. He said such extensions were being granted to localities that landfdl less than 20 tons a day. However, that would still not cover the time difference if the county has to wait until next summer to take trash to Fauquier.
The county could begin hauling trash to Fauquier before the new cell there is open, but that would mean Rappahannock would share liability for Fauquier’s current unlined cell.
Hampton District representative Mike Massie said, “When I voted to shift to Fauquier, I assumed it would be a new double lined landfill. I did not assume an old unlined one. The things I'm hearing are giving me cause to reconsider. ”
Also if Rappahannock wants to send trash to Fauquier before a new centralized trash collection site is available, the county would have to man the sites at Huntly and Scrabble 24 hours a day or close them*
The supervisors originally decided to hold a special meeting to discuss the trash issue this Tuesday, but later decided to postpone that meeting until later this month or the August meeting to get further information.
