advertised for a public hearing to consider Shoosmith Brothers,
Incorporated's request to site and operate a municipal solid
waste management facility. He further stated that an extensive
independent review of Parts A & B of the application has been
conducted by County staff; SCS Engineering, the County's
consulting engineers; and the Department of Environmental

John Cogbill, Esquire, representing Shoosmith Brothers,
Incorporated, expressed appreciation to the County staff and
consultants. He stated that in May', 1997, the Board approved
the request for the conditional use permit on the Shoosmith
property subject to five conditions and the acceptance of over
twenty proffered conditions. He stated that Shoosmith has
worked diligently to meet all of the conditions and requested
that the Board approve both the siting and the operations
applications.
Mrs. Liz Welchons, a resident of Centralia, expressed concerns
relative to the odor that comes from the present landfill and
stated that she is opposed to the request.
Ms. Diana Parker, representing the Falls of the James Sierra
Club, expressed concerns relative to the timing of Shoosmith's
request and the General Assembly's current consideration of
proposed legislation to regulate solid waste management
99-95
1/27/99
including permit applications. She also expressed concerns
relative to cluster illnesses, leaking landfills, and
groundwater contamination. She stated that she feels safety,
health and odor nuisances should be addressed. She further
stated that the Falls of the James Sierra Club feels the
request should be deferred until the General Assembly has
completed legislation and the DEQ has completed its study of
State needs.
Mr. Willard Childress, a resident of the Matoaca District,
expressed concerns relative to air pollution and leaking of
pollutants. He stated that the Board is responsible for
controls at the landfill including location and safety
monitoring. He further stated that the DEQ has no authority
other than to see that the minimum standards for a landfill
have been met. He referenced population and landfills in other
localities. He expressed concerns relative to the location of
the new landfill; the timing of the applicant's submittal~ and
proffered conditions which, in his opinion, have not been met.
He submitted for the record and reviewed a list of ten items
that, in his opinion, should be minimum requirements to protect
the environment and the surrounding public. He stated that if
the request is approved, he strongly recommends that the
approval contain these added recommended safety features as a
minimum and require that this new landfill meet and adopt any
new standards, tests or regulations passed by the State to
enhance the control and safety of landfills.
Mr. Tracie Patterson, a resident of Fieldstone Subdivision
whose property directly adjoins the subject property, expressed
concerns relative to the present landfill's odor. He stated
that he feels the Board should defer their decision until the
General Assembly has made final determinations regarding
landfill legislation.
Ms. Virginia Bragg referenced an article in the Richmond Times
Dispatch and expressed concerns relative to odor; out-of-state
trash being shipped in; added stress to roadways; noise levels;
restrictions on the sale of the property to large conglomerants
not involved in the process; and safeguards to insure that a
monopoly does not occur and excessive fees be charged. She
stated that she feels it would be prudent for the Board to
postpone action until after the General Assembly acts on
stronger legislation for State landfills.
Mr. Bill Hastings, a resident of the Matoaca District,
expressed concerns relative to groundwater contamination.
Ms. Cynthia Todd, a resident of the Amstell Bluff Subdivision,
expressed concerns relative to the odor from the present
landfill; health and safety issues; and the effect of the
proposed landfill on neighboring property values. She stated
that she is opposed to the request.
Dr. Betty Hunter Clapp, a resident of the Clover Hill District,
stated that maximum protection is necessary for maximum
development. She requested that the Board take under
99-96
/z7/99
consideration the list of minimum requirements submitted by Mr.
Childress and that they delay the case until the State
completes its assessment of proposed landfill legislation.
Mr. Paul Intravia, a resident near the Arbor Landing area,
requested that the Board postpone its decision until the
General Assembly has acted upon the currently proposed
legislation regarding landfills.
There being no one else to address this issue, the public
hearing was closed.
Mr. Cogbill stated that, under the new State law, there will be
a requirement for a 98% removal of methane which will assist in
the odor issue. He referenced Ms. Parker's remarks regarding
a three year moratorium and stated that the length of the
moratorium was not three years, but only until the next General
Assembly session. He referenced a Bill introduced by Delegate
Kirk Cox which allowed projects to continue to proceed in which
a notice of intent had been filed before January 1, 1999. He
stated that the proposed request does not include the quarry --
it is a two-phase expansion. He referenced Mr. Childress's ten
points and stated that Mr. Tom McKinley of Shoosmith Brothers
had attempted to meet with Mr. Childress in order to address
his concerns. He stated that the issues raised by Mr.
Childress are addressed by the DEQ regulations. He further
stated that the applicant has attempted to address all concerns
including a bioassessment of the water quality plan. He
referenced Ms. Bragg's concerns relative to odor and stated
that prohibition of out-of-state waste was one of the proffered
conditions. He referenced Ms. Todd's and Mr. Patterson's
remarks regarding siting and stated that the landfill site has
been relocated away from the community and closer to the
industrial area of the Shoosmith property. He referenced Mr.
Hastings' remarks and stated that eighty-six percent of the
waste taken into the present landfill comes from the County.
He stated that he feels the questions raised tonight have been
addressed and requested that the Board approve the proposed
request.
There was brief discussion relative to the recommendation of
the County's consultant, SCS Engineering.
Mr. Pitaro stated that SCS Engineering's recommendation is that
Shoosmith's application meets the technical sufficiency for
such a landfill being located at the site.
When asked, Mr. Cogbill stated that all applications have been
approved by the DEQ.
Mr. Paul Farrell, the Solid Waste Permit Manager for the State
Department of Environmental Quality, stated that the
applications submitted to the County were reviewed for
approximately 180 requirements; that the applications meet or
exceed the minimum Federal and State regulations for landfills;
and that all of the requirements have been met.
99-97
1/27/99
There was brief discussion relative to Shoosmith being required
to meet landfill requirements approved by the General Assembly
in the next several weeks and to the feasibility of these
regulations being imposed on existing landfills.
Mr. John Daniel, representing Shoosmith Brothers, stated that
historically when statutory provisions that require the DEA to
adopt new regulatory programs are approved by the General
Assembly, they transition in all the older facilities at some
point in time.
Mr. Daniel stated that it is his understanding that in past
practices if new regulations were adopted, there would be a
point in time when landfill operations would be required to
comply.
When asked, Mr. John Daniel stated that he served under
Governor Baliles' administration as Secretary of Natural
Resources and that during that time, the first solid waste
regulations were put into place.
Mr. Daniel requested a five minute recess.
Reconvening:
Mr. Daniel stated that, according to Articles VII and VIII of
the Code of Virginia, the siting of the Solid Waste Management
Facility would be approved automatically on April 1, 1999 if
the County did not take action and the waste material
Management and Disposal Plan would be approved on March 2,
1999. He further stated that the County has an obligation to
review the material presented and that he supports Shoosmith's
applications for siting and operating the solid waste
management facility. He stated that, after assessment by the
County's Consultants and the DEQ, he believes the planned
facility satisfies the criteria of Section 11-75 of the County
Code and, therefore, he sees no reason not to support the
siting approval.
Mr. Daniel then made a motion for the Board to approve
Shoosmith Brothers, Incorporated's application for the siting
of a municipal solid waste (MSW) facility according to the Code
of the County of Chesterfield, Chapter 11, Article VII, subject
to compliance with proffered conditions 21, 22 and 23 of the
applicable zoning for the property.
Mr. Warren seconded the motion made by Mr. Daniel, for the
Board to approve Shoosmith Brothers, Incorporated's application
for the siting of a municipal solid waste (MSW) facility
according to the Code of the County of Chesterfield, Chapter
11, Article VII, subject to compliance with proffered
conditions 21, 22 and 23 of the applicable zoning for the
property.
99-98
1/27/99
Mr. McHale stated that he does not support Mr. Daniel's motion
to accept the application because he does not feel the
citizens' concerns have been satisfied. He stated that, at the
public hearing for the zoning of the Shoosmith property,
substantive health, safety and welfare issues were raised and,
at that time, the Board was told that it was a land use issue
and the health, safety and welfare issues would be addressed
more completely when the siting and operating plans were
brought before the Board. He made reference to the concerns
expressed by Ms. Welchons, Ms. Parker and Mr. Childress. He
stated that he feels the maximum protection issue has not been
considered.
There was brief discussion relative to wetlands being impacted
by landfill operation; definition of wetlands by the Corps of
Engineers; and discharge of groundwater into Swift Creek.
Ms. Joan Salvati, Water Quality Program Administrator, stated
that the discharge of process or waste water is regulated by
the DEQ and that Shoosmith currently has discharges that are
being monitored by the DEQ.
Mr. Paul Manderbell, representing SCS Engineers, stated that
once the landfill moves from Phase I into Phase II of the
quarry area, groundwater will be collected and sampled.
There was brief discussion relative to leaking at the existing
landfill and to what constitutes a material violation.
When asked, Mr. Pitaro stated that, according to the
engineering reports, the water in the quarry is rainwater and
runoff water -- it is not underground seepage.
Mr. McHale stated that, during dry weather, there are 28,000
gallons per day of water being pumped out of the quarry. He
questioned and staff confirmed the notification of the eighty-
two adjacent landowners to the property that is the subject of
this public hearing. He expressed concerns relative to odor
and gases being emitted from the landfill.
There was brief discussion relative to the capture and
destruction of gases at the landfill facility.
Mr. McHale requested that detailed procedures be outlined to
resolve issues regarding odor from the landfill. He stated
that he does not feel the landfill documents are ready for
approval and requested deferral of the request until procedures
are put into place.
Mrs. Humphrey referenced the commenUs and handouts received by
the Board tonight and stated that, if approved by the General
Assembly, State guidelines will require a second composite
liner. She stated that important issues include the components
of the Swift Creek Monitoring Plan and the gas collection
system.
99-99
1/27/99
When asked, Mr. Thomas McKinley, representing Shoosmith
Brothers, stated that currently there is no generator in place
at the landfill but the operating plans submitted include an
electrical service with a backup generator. He stated that the
number of collection wells has been increased and that
February, 2000 is the date for compliance by Shoosmith with the
New Source Performance Standards. He further stated that
emissions requirements cannot be exceeded for the facility --
the air emissions must be captured. He stated that all
landfill operations have a minimum and maximum standard. He
further stated that the Swift Creek Monitoring Plan will
include three reflective years of compliance. He stated that
currently the landfill contains 162 wells. He stated that the
new cells will include lateral wells which are considered
efficient technology. He further stated that Shoosmith must
comply with all existing Federal laws and State requirements on
the existing facility.
There was brief discussion relative to health risk analysis,
reporting of data water quality standards and leachate
sampling.
Mrs. Humphrey questioned the possibility of catching 100
percent of the landfill gases.
When asked, Ms. Salvati stated that she will receive all
reports regarding Swift Creek Monitoring data and, if an
indication of water quality degradation occurs, there is a
procedure outlined to handle this.
When asked, Mr. Pitaro stated that any report required by the
DEQ is also sent to the Department of General Services within
ten days. He further stated that the Department relies on
experts for analysis of reports to understand recommendations
concerning violations.
There was brief discussion relative to the siting of the
landfill at least 1,000 feet from the Highlands Community.
Mr. Barber stated that, even with recycling, the vast majority
of the waste that goes into the landfill is generated by County
residents. He further stated that the County removed itself
from landfill operation several years ago due to the cost and
requirements of technology. He stated that the proposed
request meets and, in some cases, exceeds minimum requirements
and that he supports Mr. Daniel's motion to approve Shoosmith's
siting application.
There was brief discussion relative to the bioassessment
requirement.
Ms. Salvati stated that the water quality is being protected as
best as possible. She further stated that chemical monitoring
will determine the concentrations of a given number of
parameters in the stream on the date of sampling and the
bioassessment determines what impacts have occurred on the
stream as a result of discharges that have happened over a
1/27/99
99-100
period of time.
Mr. Daniel stated that he feels that location is no longer an
issue and that the County has lived up to the spirit of zoning
by hiring a professional consultant with credentials to deal
with landfills. He further stated that the DEQ has approved
the application in its current form and offered a suggestion
that a clearing house be formed ~zo include a meeting with
citizens, staff, and Shoosmith to discuss landfill concerns.
Mr. Daniel then called for the vote on the motion made by him,
seconded by Mr. Warren, for the Board to approve Shoosmith
Brothers, Incorporated's application for siting a municipal
solid waste (MSW) facility according to the Code of the County
of Chesterfield, Chapter 11, Article VII, subject to compliance
with proffered conditions 21, 22 and 23 of the applicable
zoning for the property.
