RE: Warren County PCB Landfill
Attached is a copy of the conveyance of the property sur-
rounding the landfill to Warren County. It is recorded in
Book 366, paqes 180-186 inthe Register of Deeds Office in
Warren County.
The deed conveys, inter alia, the Carter Pope tract to Warren
Countv, but retains the 19.317 acres encompassinq the land-
fill. The deed also sets forth restrictive covenants con-
cerning the landfill property.
As a matter of public record, this deed should Put anyone
on notice about the existence of the landfill and the nature
of the materials buried in it. I doubt that an additional
notice in the reqistrv will be of much use.
After reviewinq the deed and discussinq the situation with
EPA, we can qet toqether to draft anv additional notice
should EPA believe that more notice is necessarv. Before,
I draft another instrument, I would like some detailed quidance
from EPA concerninq what thev want.
