New City Landfill Opens Monday on North Levee
The city will shut the Drag Strip Road site at 5 p.m. Saturday and open the North Lawrence Flood Control Levee landfill Monday with daily hours 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. The new site received a one year operating permit from the U S Army Corps of Engineers after a year delay. Assistant City Manager Dennis Kallsen said permit renewal depends on success, groundwater monitoring by Kansas Geological Survey, and rainfall levels. The old site remains as an alternate during rain, with a projected minimum 10 year operation at the new site if trends hold. A fall permit reapplication is planned, allowing protests but shorter delays. Residents with sanitation bills may use the landfill free. some materials are prohibited by ordinance, including hazardous items, radioactive substances, poisons, acids, diseased materials, explosives, live coals, and oversized or unusual wastes without director approval.
