RE: Madison County's MSW Disposal
Permit # 58-03
Madison County, Facility
Dear Ms. Davie:
NCD1;'t:--
NORTH CAROLINA DEPARTMENT OF
ENVIRONMENT AND NATURAL RESOURCES
As you are aware, the Madison County MSW Landfill, Permit # 58-03 is near it's maximum
capacity. It is a concern that Madison County is rapidly running out of landfill space, current
estimate 2 months or less, and the Transfer Station which the County is planning to build will
take several months to complete. As of today, the actual construction of the facility has yet to
begin. I want to encourage Madison County to do all that is can to facilitate the completion of the
Transfer Station construction as soon as possible.
If the Transfer Station construction has not been completed in time to receive the County's
MSW when the landfill has reached it maximum capacity, other arrangements will need to be
made. Madison County should have a plan, how it will handle its waste stream, ready to be
implemented should it be needed. This plan would need to include who will transport and who
will be receiving the waste.
If you need my assistance, please don't hesitate to contact me at 828-251-6784 ext. 280.
Sincerely,
( &1411*VV

RE: Landfill Fire
Mr. Hetzell:
As you know per our phone conversation on 5/1/01, the Madison County
Solid Waste landfill caught fire on the afternoon of 4/30-01. The Marshall
Fire Dept. was called and responded within 15 to 20 minutes, they pumped
water over the area of about 150'x 50', the fire was controlled. There was
some hot spots underneath still smoldering that the landfill personnel covered
with more soil. We stood by for about another hour to make sure that there
No other danger.
We have no idea how the fire started, actually there was more smoke that fire.
There was no physical damage to the landfill.
