INTRODUCTION OF MR. RAYMOND R. RABE, IREDELL COUNTY EEALTH
DIRECTOR: Mr. Rabe began his duties as health director on
September 16, 1996. Best wishes were extended to Mr. Rabe and his
family as they settle in Iredell County.
DESIGN, PERMITTING & CONSTRUCTION OF PHASE II-IREDELL COUNTY
SUBTITLE D LANDFILL: Mr. Jim Woodie, Municipal Engineering,
advised that the new cell being looked at was estimated to have a
five-year life. He said this was unpredictable, however, since the
volume of waste is related to the economy. Currently, the State
will only issue a five-year permit.
Woodie reviewed his 12 -acre design and estimated that it would
take about 60 to 70 more days to finish. Commissioner Johnson
referred to the bids for the Mooresville Transfer Station and
requested that Woodie keep the Board informed of any changes. Mr.
Woodie advised that there was only one method of landfill lining,
so there wasn't much that could change.
Mrs. Blumenstein advised that Cell I was under budget, and it
cost about $30,000 per acre. The funds for the Cell II design are
in the 96-97 budget.
98 RULE: The N.C. Division of Waste Management has proposed
an amendment that would provide a variance to the rule that
requires unlined landfills to stop receiving solid waste by January
1, 1998. (The variance would allow continued operation of unlined
landfills for a maximum of five years.) The State has scheduled
five public meetings, and one is to be held on September 24, 1996,
in Mooresville.
Commissioner Boone asked the penalty if counties did not have
a lined landfill by 1998. Mr. Woodie said he had asked this
question; however, he had never received an answer from the State.
The group was reminded that Iredell had to pay for a "fast
track" permit in the amount of $6,000 in 1993 to insure that the
County was on schedule for the current landfill.
