DISCUSSION HELD BEFORE VOTE :
SUPERVISOR WALTER- THIS RESOLUTION IS ONE THAT WAS PASSED UNANIMOUSLY
BY THE QUEENSBURY - GLENS FALLS JOINT LANDFILL COMMITTEE YESTERDAY .
THE ENGINEERING FIRM OF HASSEN AND SAWYER WHO ARE THE ENGINEERS FOR
THE WARREN COUNTY SEWER PROJECT, DESIGNATED THE RIDGE ROAD LANDFILL SITE
AS THE PRIMARY DEPOSITORY FOR THE SLUDGE FROM THE WASTE TREATMENT PLANT.
BECAUSE OF THE REASONS LISTED IN THIS RESOLUTION THE JOINT LANDFILL
COMMITTEE FELT THAT THEY COULD NOT POSSIBLY RECOMMEND TO THE BOARD THAT
THE SLUDGE BE DEPOSITED AT THAT FACILITY . I THINK THAT THIS RESOLUTION
JUST DIFFERS IN THAT THE LANDFILL COMMITTEE RECOMMENDED TO THE TOWN BOARD
THAT THE SLUDGE DISPOSAL NOT BE ALLOWED AT THE LANDFILL SITE .
COUNCILMAN EISENHART- I WILL VOTE FOR THIS BUT, NOT FOR THE REASONS STATED,
I DO NOT WORRY ABOUT THE CONTAMINATION OF GROUND WATER DUE TO UNKNOWN
MATERIALS AND ADDITIONAL TRAFFIC BUT I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THE LIFE OF
THE LANDFILL. . .
COUNCILMAN OLSON- . . .WE ARE TELLING THE COUNTY AND THE STATE THAT WE
ARE NOT CAPABLE OF HANDLING THIS TYPE OF MATERIAL AT THIS LANDFILL . . .
THERE WILL BE A SEWAGE TREATMENT PLANT IN THE AREA, QUEENSBURY WILL
PROBABLY HAVE A PART IN THIS TREATMENT PLANT, THERE WILL COME A TIME
WHEN THERE IS SLUDGE FROM THE PLANT THE ONLY AVAILABLE LAND IN THE
AREA PROBABLY WILL FALL IN THE TOWN CF' QUEENSBURY. . .WE ARE LOOKING
TO THE COUNTY TO LOOK FOR A SITE FOR THIS MATERIAL. . .
SUPERVISOR WALTER-HASSEN AND SAWYER IN A REPORT THAT WAS PRESENTED
TO EPA AND ENCON AND COMMENTS ON THAT REPORT WERE MADE ATAMEETING I
ATTENDED IN ALBANY IN WHICH REPRESENTATIVES OF ENCON AND EPA WERE
THERE. THEY INDICATED, WHENi'I SAID THAT THERECWAS SOME CONCERN
ON THE PART OF THE TOWN AND THE CITY REGARDING THIS SITE, THEY ASKED
THAT SOMETHING APPEAR IN WRITING AND THAT IS THE REASON FOR THE RESOLUTION.
EPA AND ENCON WERE SU;PRISED THAT THE RIDGE ROAD FACILITY WAS THE PRIMARY
DESIGNATED POINT FOR DISPOSAL WHEN THE LOCAL OFFICIALS HAD NOT BEEN
CONTACTED OR DISCUSSED THE POSSIBILITY . THEY WERE SURPRISED THAT THIS
WAS GOING TO BE DUMPED IN THE TOWN WITHOUT ANY PRIOR CONSULTATION
WITH THE TOWN . . . . NOTED A LETTER WILL BE GOING TO THE CHAIRMAN OF THE
WARREN CO. SEWER COMMITTEE WITH A COPY OF THE RESOLUTION IF PASSED. . . IN
THIS LETTER I INDICATED THE TOWN WOULD BE MOST COOPERATIVE AND WE HOPE
THERE WILL BE SOME COMMUNICATION WITH THE WARREN CO. SEWER COMMISSION,
IN THE SELECTION OF A SITE FOR ANY KIND OF SLUDGE DISPOSAL IN THE TOWN
OF QUEENSBURY. THE PRIMARY SITES WERE IN THE TOWN OF QUEENSBURY AND
GOING FURTHER INTO IT, THE WARRENSBURG PLANT WILL PROBABLY DISPOSE
OF THEIR SLUDGE UP THERE RATHER THAN TRANSPORTING IT DOWN HERE . BASICALLY
MOST OF THE SLUDGE WILL HAVE TO BE DISPOSED IN AN AREA IN THE TOWN. . .
164
IN lHEf,lCIT.XLQf GLENS FALLS THERE ISN' T ENOUGH AVAILABLE SPACE IT
PROBABLY MOST LIKELY THAT THE SPOT CHOSEN WOULD BE IN QUEENSBURY .
I THINK THAT THE BOARD SHOULD BE AWARE OF WHAT IS HAPPENING IN THE
TOWN AND WE SHOULD HAVE SOME CONSIDERATION GIVEN TO OUR THOUGHTS
OF WHAT IS THE BEST POSSIBLE PLACE TO PUT THE DISPOSAL . . . I DISAGREE
WITH THE DR. , I THINK ADDITIONAL TRAFFIC IS TO BE CONSIDERED, WE HAVE
A FACILITY NOW THAT CAN BE REACHED BY ONLY ONE OR TWO ROADS . . . . .
