Two New Landfill Sites Proposed Near Lawrence
Douglas County will form a Solid Waste Advisory Committee meeting in two to three weeks to review preliminary studies of two proposed landfills. One site southwest of Lawrence between the Wakarusa River and Yankee Tank Creek shows good potential and central location, while a second site two miles east of Lawrence between 15th Street and the railroad tracks risks flooding in a former river basin. The committee will study both options and then advise the county commission.
