SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION
AUTHORIZE Chair to sign a letter to the Corps of Engineers
expressing support for a permit modification for a 20-foot height
extension for the Acme Fill landfill.
FINANCIAL IMPACT - None
REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION/BACKGROUND
The Corps of Engineers has issued a Public Notice ( #13881E59A,
January 27, 1987 ) concerning the modification of the Acme Fill
landfill permit. The permit extension will grant a 20-foot
height increase to Acme Fill landfill allowing approximately two
years of additional capacity. This two years is urgently needed
to complete the landfill selection and siting process now under-
way.
The Corps of Engineers is requesting public comment on the
proposed permit modification. The Board of Supervisors has
previously supported using the Acme property to a total of 60
feet. The proposed position is consistent with the previous
Board position. The Corps of Engineers proposes to also include
in the permit a date of June 16, 1989 when the permit would
expire. This is based on the estimate of the 20-foot extension
giving a two-year additional capacity. It is appropriate for the
Board to ask the Corps to delete the closure date requirement
thereby giving Acme Fill the flexibility to divert waste from the
landfill through resource recovery activities or other means of
diversion to allow the landfill to stay in operation beyond the
June 1989 date while still not reaching the 60-foot height
limitation.
The last day for commenting on the Public Notice is February 27,
1987 .
