COMMITTEE REPORTS
LANDFILL OVERSITE COMMITTEE REPORT - APPROVED UNDER CONSENT
AGENDA
The Landfill Oversight Committee met on Tuesday, August 17, 2004, at 8:00 a.m. All
committee members were present except Dave Ash and Tim Coyne. The following issues were
discussed:
1. New Haul Road to Peter Paul Riley Farm
The design of the new haul road connecting the landfill to the Riley Farm has been
completed. Staff is awaiting permits from the Department of Environmental Quality (D.E.Q.),
Virginia Institute of Marine Science and the Corps of Engineers before proceeding with
construction. It is anticipated that a contract will be awarded this Fall for construction of the new
road.
2. Leachate Treatment Facility UPl:rade
The existing leachate treatment facility will be upgraded to provide additional ammonia
treatment during the cold winter months. The upgrade will include several large columns filled with
a natural material called clinoptilolite which has the ability to absorb ammonia. The process can be
reversed with the addition of a saline solution. The ammonia saturated material can also be utilized
as a fertilizer on the grass covered slopes. It is hopeful that this process can be designed and
installed on or before December 2004.
3. Exuansion of Landfill Entrance
Plans have been completed to facilitate the expansion ofthe landfill entrance road from two
(2) to three (3) lanes (two entrance, and one exit). This design will also include the construction of
two (2) deceleration lanes on Sulphur Spring Road. This design is necessary to provide a safe
entrance and alleviate the congestion on busy Saturdays. Additional land acquisition may be
required along Sulphur Spring Road to accommodate the project.
4. New Citizens' Convenience Area
The design of the new citizens' convenience area is on hold until a right-of-way issue can
be resolved.
5. Prouosed Leachate Recirculation Svstem
Design of a leachate recirculation system has been initiated to provide staff with an
alternative disposal option for our leachate. This design will include an amendment to our current
solid waste disposal permit. The implementation schedule has yet to be determined. However, we
are hopeful that a January, 2005 completion date can be achieved.
6. Future Minim: of Old Closed Out Landfill
Minute Book Number 30
Board of Supervisors Regular Meeting of 08/24/04
090
Staff is exploring the option of mining and repermitting the closed-out area previously
landfilled under old Permit 40. This idea has been discussed with representative from D.E.Q. who
were very encouraging to the point of possibly promising some financing under the Brownfield grant
program. Mining the old landfill would result in extending the life of our solid waste facility
without the negative impacts normally associated with siting a new landfill on virgin ground.

Interim Zoning Administrator Mark Cheran appeared before the Board on behalf of this
application. He advised that the Development Review and Regulations Subcommittee (DRRS)
recommended excluding certain SIC uses from the B-2 (Business General District) Zoning District,
because the subcommittee felt these SIC uses might not be appropriate in or meet the intent of the
B-2 Zoning District. The Planning Commission voted to grant approval ofthis proposed ordinance
amendment.
A discussion followed as to how these changes could meet the Board's intent so there would
not be any questions about these exclusions in the future. The Board's concerns dealt specifically
with the proposal to exclude Commercial Sport and Recreation Clubs and 8744 Facilities Support
Management Services.
Director Lawrence advised that those two items could be removed from the proposed
amendment, ifit was the Board's desire.
