MEMORANDUM TO: Secretary James S. Lofton
FROM: Thomas J. Harrelson -~~
SUBJECT: PCB Landfill -Warren County
THOMASJ.HARRELSON
SECRETARY
I apologize for the delay in responding to your February 20, 1991
letter concerning the PCB Landfill in Warren County.
I had my staff review the history of this facility and our
previous commitments to its maintenance. These are outlined in
an October 4, 1983 letter from Secretary Roberson of the
Department of Transportation to Secretary Clark of the Department
of Crime Control and Public Safety. The Department of
Transportation agreed to maintain the access road, the landfill
fence and gate, and the vegetative cover to include two annual
mowings. We have no problem in continuing these
responsibilities; however, we cannot agree to accept
responsibility for the irrigation system and pumps.
We have previously advised Assistant Secretary Edythe McKinney of
the Department of Environment, Health, and Natural Resources and
Mr. W. L. Meyer, of the Solid Waste Management Division of our
decision on this matter.
If the responsibility for the irrigation system can be resolved,
we will be glad to sign the agreement.
