Your feedback helps us prioritize what to improve next.
The landfill work will help determine whether waste or debris has accumulated near the landfill cap and support required environmental monitoring. Work may begin within 30 to 60 days and must include erosion-control inspections, advance notice to the Conservation Agent, and a copy of the resulting report. A separate approval would be needed for any additional landfill work beyond the test pits.
