2. Six Inches Daily Cover
3. Access Controls

Comments:
HUGH H. TILSON. M.D.
This Landfill is almost filled to capacity. I have met with
Robert Wiseman (Avery County Manager) on several occasions
in order to discuss and begin looking for a new landfill site.
To date no site has been found which is acceptable for prelim-
inary borings. In the past, this County's landfill has been
located in two mine pits. The first of these holes is completely
filled to capacity and is currently being covered with two feet
of soil and undergoing closure proceedings.
The second hole is currently being landfilled. It is being
operated on a day-to-day basis without adequate plans. This
hole was landfilled to some degree several years ago and was
left incomplete in order to fill the completed hole. Because
of this, moving to another hole, there is now an area which can
be landfilled for a short time. It should be noted that all
cover material must be transported daily and surface drainage
is diverted in two directions. In other words, the area being
landfilled is difficult to operate.

-------------------------
Recommendations:
This county should not be permitted without operational plans
on the existing landfill area. I have informed Robert Wiseman
that the County is in violation of Solid Waste Regulations and
that every possible effort must be made to locate a new landfill
site. I am currently waiting to hear from him regarding possible
sites. I will be drafting Mr. Wiseman a letter regarding the
landfill situation within the next few days. I would prefer to
hold this letter until Mr. Wiseman and I have met once more in
order to see what success he has had searching for possible
sites. At best we are looking at six months before a new site
could be approved, consequently with winter approaching the
Avery County Landfill will most likely remain at its present
location for six to nine months. I would therefore recommend
holding the permit until Bill Meyer receives and approves some
