THURSDAY, APRIL 6, 1995 <br /> <br />The meeting then focused on programmatic issues surrounding the <br />Landfill. Mark Taylor and L. E. "Butch" Joyce of Joyce Engineering, <br />were present to present an overview of the issues and to respond to <br />questions from the members of Council. Mr. Taylor first discussed the <br />existing filling plans for the five-year life of the Landfill. The <br />current plan is to fill in areas which do not cover the main, 72 inch <br />pipe because it is believed that additional weight could cause the pipe <br />to collapse. If the main pipe were sliplined, use of the Landfill <br />could be maximized by filling over the entire surface. An estimate of <br />the cost to slipline the pipe system is estimated to be $1.2 million, <br />however, the useful life of the Landfill could increase from 5 years to <br />8-9 years. <br /> <br />Mr. Taylor reviewed the groundwater and surface water monitoring <br />programs. The Landfill is currently in the assessment monitoring phase <br />with regard to groundwater, with the first phase being detection <br />monitoring. Eventually, groundwater protection standards will need to <br />be developed which will become a part of the City's permit, and <br />therefore will be enforceable by the Department of Environmental <br />Quality. If the surface water is found to contain leachate, a <br />remediation plan must be developed and implemented. <br /> <br />Councilman Willjams left the meeting at this point (12:15 P.M.) to <br />attend another meeting. <br /> <br />Mr. Taylor then discussed options relating to the pipe system. One <br />option is repairing the pipe, which is the least expensive option, but <br />does not allow for vertical expansion above the main, 72 inch pipe. <br /> <br /> <br />
