REQUEST FOR REVISION TO LOCAL ORDINANCE REGARDING LAND
FARMING: Mr.Kelly Sheeks was present to discuss the requested
revision to the County's ordinance regarding Land Farming. The
request is to allow transportation of soils generated within
Iredell County which are contaminated with petroleum products to
another site within Iredell County for landfarming. The
landfarming site must be owned by the generator of the waste soils,
Mr. Kelly explained.
The ordinance does not presently permit soils containing
petroleum hydrocarbons to be transported from one location within
Iredell County to another location in the county for the purpose of
landfarming. The landfarming must occur on the soil upon which the
soil containing petroleum hydrocarbons was discovered. (Section 6-
68)
A new section 6-68 is proposed as follows:
Sec. 6.68. Transportation of soil for landfarming.
Landfarming of soils generated outside Iredell
County prohibited.
Soils containing petroleum hydrocarbons may be
transported from one location within Iredell County to
another within this county for the purpose of landfarming
provided that the individual or corporation generating the
contaminated soils owns the property upon which the land
farming will occur.
Soils containing petroleum hydrocarbons which originate
outside the borders of Iredell County may not be transported
into Iredell County for the purpose of landfarming.
Commissioner Boone inquired how many distributors of petroleum
products own land within the county suitable for landfarming. Mr.
Sheeks said he did not know the answer to that. Commissioner Boone
