A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF JONESBORO APPROVING THE PERMIT MODIFICATION REQUEST FOR THE EXPANSION OF THE CRAIGHEAD COUNTY SOLID WASTE DISPOSAL AUTHORITY (CCSWDA) LEGACY LANDFILL

body

WHEREAS, the CCSWDA began the process of obtaining a Certificate of Need from the Craighead County Regional Solid Waste Management District for a proposed modification of the existing class 1 CCSWDA Legacy Landfill; and

WHEREAS, at the current fill rate the landfill has approximately 5.8 years of capacity and the CCSWDA believes a lack of disposal capacity for municipal waste will exist without this modification; and

WHEREAS, the CCSWDA has submitted an application to the Arkansas Department of Environmental Quality for the class 1 expansion in an area that is approximately 53 acres and is shown in the map attached to this resolution; and

WHEREAS, applications are not processed until the host community confirms that the proposed landfill expansion does not conflict with the city’s existing land use plan.

NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL FOR THE CITY OF JONESBORO, ARKANSAS THAT:

Section 1:  That no threat of pollution exists to the City of Jonesboro because of the disposal of class 1 materials by the method requested in the permit modification application and the site does not conflict with existing land use plans.

Section 2:  The City of Jonesboro has accepted the siting of the landfill and has no objection to the granting of the permit modification for class 1 waste disposal by the CCSWDA.

 

PASSED AND APPROVED THIS 20TH DAY OF SEPTEMBER 2022.
