Officials Briefed on Planned Butler County Landfill Hearing
Commissioners will set a date within three weeks for a public hearing on a proposed county wide sanitary landfill. About 45 local officials heard Dayton consultant John Kaiser outline the plan and show an artist's rendering of the facility. Acquisition of 180 acres in Madison Township between Woodsdale Road and the Great Miami River was announced, part of a 2239 acre Cincinnati Gas & Electric Co. parcel set for an industrial park. Kaiser cited standard landfill as the most economical disposal method with an estimated cost of 2 10 per ton and facility setup at 1 244 120 dollars. Several officials questioned life span, axle traffic and reimbursement for village wear on streets, while others noted potential annexation and river pollution concerns. The commission plans a technical advisory committee and expects operation by mid summer.
