I’d hate to see us put the taxpayers money into them.” He noted that the county has already had problems with people putting hazardous chemicals into the site at Huntly, and there have been fires there also.
“We know we have a hazardous situation, and we’re ignoring it because we want people to have a convenient place to take trash,” he said.
Piedmont District representative Charles K. “Pete” Estes asked how much additional liability the county will have if county trash is hauled to a private landfill.
Mr. McCarthy and Commonwealth’s Attorney Peter Luke both said the landfill owner’s insurance and the hauler’s insurance would be called on first, but the county would have a liability. “They won’t go after the smaller guy first," Mr, McCarthy said.
The supervisors agreed they would have to consider insurapce coverage in evaluating any bid they receive for hauling.
Mr. McCarthy noted that the work has been completed for the Part B application for^he new landfill cell. The supervisors agreed to pay the $14,300 application fee that must be sent to the state.
