Hearing examiner suggests
landfill permit be denied
A state health department hear-
ing examiner is recommending that
Bastrop County be denied a permit
to open a controversial landfill near
Indian Lake north of Smithville.
Hearing examiner John Garrett
urged the commissioner of health
to deny the county's application
because of improper soils at the site
and defects in the operating plan
for the 35-acre facility.
Garrett heard more than a week
of testimony about the application
in Bastrop earlier this year. The
county's application for a permit
was contested by a group of Indian
Lake residents who feared a land-
fill near the subdivision would en-
danger nearby surface and ground
water, pose a health threat and
lower property values.
County Judge Jimmy Copeland
said he wants the county's legal
counsel to urge the commissioner
to disregard the May 22 proposal
for decision by Garrett.
When considering uncontested
applications, the health department
frequently approves landfill sites
and operating plans with far fewer
tests and safeguards than Bastrop
County proposed, Copeland said.
Following public hearings in
Bastrop the health department's
solid waste division staff also called
for'the permit to be denied.
In recommending denial, Garrett
cited soil conditions and the
possibility that water could move
through the buried garbage to con-
taminate groundwater sources.
The only undisturbed soil sam-
ple used to support the county's ap-
plication did not meet health
department standards for
permeability, Garrett said.
Permeability is a measure of the
ability of water to pass through
soils.
Copeland said that soil sample
was taken from a location away
from the proposed trash disposal
pits.
Garrett also cited the existence
of sandy soil structures running
through clay soils at the proposed
landfill. The county's proposed
methods to eliminate those so-
called "secondary structures" are
insufficient, Garrett said.
Typically water passes more
readily through sandy soils than
clay soils.
The count y^s operating plan also
provides insufficient evidence that
the landfill operator will be able to
recognize and then eliminate san-
dy structures'in the trash disposal
pits, Garrett concluded.
Copeland said the county can
again promise to follow any special
conditions or operating instructions
attached to the permit if it is final-
ly approved by the commissioner.
' 'The operation of the proposed
site will pose a threat to the health,
welfare or physical property of
nearby residents or property
owners, as well as the environ-
ment," Garrett wrote, adopting a
conclusion proposed by Stewart
Henry, attorney for Indian Lake
property owners.
