EPA rules complicate Brownfield landfill plans in 1989
Brownfield officials led by City Manager Dick Fletcher discussed escalating costs for a 140 acre landfill south of the current site. TDH and EPA rule changes loom, with lining costs estimated at 30,000 per acre, plus options like baling, incineration, shredding, composting, and potential use of a new energy plant in Lubbock. A Sept 1 permit deadline under new law could cost 13,500, while core sampling ranges from one to four. See Council.Page 4.
