Fla. County Commission Defers C&D Landfill Decision

With current landfill nearly full, Flagler County (Fla.) officials put off decision until October.

 

The Flagler County (Fla.) Commission has delayed confronting the problem of the county’s nearly full construction and demolition debris landfill until October, according to a report in the Daytona Beach News-Journal (Daytona Beach, Fla.).

 

A proposal to add two acres of additional property to the county’s current site has been brought before the commission.

 

At a Sept. 6 meeting, the county’s solid waste director said the landfill would be full by year’s end, according to the report.

 

However, the News-Journal reports that the commissioners resisted making a quick decision saying that residents should be given time to comment on the proposal.

 

A public hearing on the proposal to expand the landfill will be held in October, according to the report.
