Stormwater staff member James Payne said May inspections were about average at roughly 50 reviews for the month. Payne described an educational outreach effort in District 4 focused on properties that include waters of the state and summarized the county’s five‑acre plan protocol.

County legal counsel (identified in the meeting as Mike) said he reviewed state planning law and stormwater permit requirements and told the board he did not find explicit authority to require a plat note for sales of parcels larger than five acres. “I just don't think we have authority,” he said, noting that much of the stormwater enforcement authority is derived from state and federal MS4 (Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System) program requirements that local governments must implement.

Payne and the county attorney discussed the practical problem that property buyers might not learn about MS4‑related stormwater obligations unless plats or planning commission processes flag them. Payne said several local surveyors have agreed, voluntarily, to add an informational note to plats for parcels over five acres; he named Crockett Surveying as one that has agreed to do so. The board discussed asking surveyors formally to include a note, while recognizing the county lacks clear enforcement authority to mandate it.

Payne said the county must complete a 30‑day public comment period for the state report; the board discussed advertising the comment period in the local paper and making the report available at the county office. Payne indicated the public comment period would be advertised and that comments would be accepted through July 31.

Board members approved Payne’s stormwater report by voice vote. Counsel said he will continue researching the statutory authority and offered to convene a meeting with state officials or with planning staff in Nashville if necessary. Payne said he intends to place the state report on the July agenda and follow the advertised 30‑day comment period before returning to the board with any required action items.

The meeting record shows discussion and direction for staff follow‑up; no new ordinance, regulatory change or mandatory plat requirement was adopted at the June 5 meeting.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Wilson County Urban Type Facilities - June 2025","oneSentenceSummary","Wilson County stormwater staff told the Urban Type Facility Board on June 5 that a legal review did not find clear authority to require survey plats for parcels larger than five acres to carry a stormwater notice; staff will pursue voluntary plat notes and a 30‑day public comment period on the state report.","taxTitle","Wilson County, Tennessee","taxId",19117,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6210956,"Wilson County solid waste staff urges new rules as out‑of‑county users strain convenience centers",797,30750,828269,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3702623-dac784f699facd42a072b213edd20c4b&start=30&end=828","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3702623-dac784f699facd42a072b213edd20c4b/thumbnail_30750.jpg","/articles/6210956/Wilson-County/Tennessee/Wilson-County-solid-waste-staff-urges-new-rules-as-outofcounty-users-strain-convenience-centers","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6210956-2721959091d3efb5ddcd79a1a631e587/orig.mp4?Expires=1771167761&Signature=VmjNYd2L2VzLCoEpkkeXemS-lRKS1EV5DIstCesFOJiNLI7iGlTy5v-rJpGyLwHnaQzD4JZUNELj3Q0vCeyGh8Pn9kYBnigCzodZnxjZwFTq5QxE26Wi3WZKpaIaOR-dMI5S0wQpICMTxvVhM5c1Zfwgs~VZ-l3BCEj2MQosQsK55f~3tlBHyjnkFZ1Gvhc3qfCRY9ZqU4qDlGmxwPv91jEb3ZBH9ok3NZoIDdyh5tqpV8Bd-XrKZoBTpZB1L1bHpvZSyt-uw59IBLHpcAgOakJouI9-rm5gmIboaOipvZjMXgwas8RsqKEPgLwIxn3nt1XNBrf-kxnPcW67j8q9QA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Wilson County solid waste staff told the Urban Type Facility Board on June 5 that out‑of‑county users and large contractor loads are increasing wear on convenience centers and driving a need for new rules and adjusted closing procedures.

The report, delivered by Cindy Lynch, noted May landfill revenue of $22,008 and said fiscal‑year‑to‑date revenue was $376,000 higher than the same period last year. Lynch told the board the county sent about 42 more tons to Smith County this past month and spent roughly $155 more on tipping fees in 2025 than in 2024. She also said recycling tonnage rose by about 57 tons while recycling revenue fell by about $761, and the county pulled 519 loads from convenience centers — an increase of 53 loads compared with the same time last year.

The figures matter because staff described frequent confrontations and operational strain at convenience centers from out‑of‑county residents and private haulers. \"They're they're killing us,\" Lynch said, describing the volume and confrontations she says staff encounter. Lynch said she is drafting new regulations for the convenience centers and plans to bring proposed rules to the board in the next couple of months for input.

Board members discussed adjusting posted closing times to give staff time to secure facilities without forcing overtime. Mayor Mike Jennings asked whether posting an earlier closing time — for example 4:45 p.m. or 4:30 p.m. instead of 5:00 p.m. — would help staff lock gates and finish cleanup while staying on scheduled hours. Lynch said current practice is that last check‑ins are at 5:00 p.m., and staff sometimes begin shutting gates earlier to avoid overtime. Board members suggested posting a change in advance so residents see the new hours.

Lynch proposed a possible limit of one piece of furniture per visit to reduce large contractor loads; she said some visitors arrive with tall, trailer‑mounted loads and that contractors are contributing heavily to the volume. The board discussed signage, phased implementation and allowing cars already in line to enter when a new closure time starts.

The board voted by voice to approve Lynch's solid waste report. Separately, a motion to approve hauling 31 jump tires to Rockwood passed on voice vote after a brief question about the contractor and destination. No roll‑call vote totals were recorded in the meeting minutes.

Lynch also said she is seeking an extra county vehicle for landfill operations and noted the county is monitoring Rockwood site conditions before resuming broader activities there. She asked the board to expect a formal set of proposed convenience‑center rules in a future meeting.

The board did not adopt new regulations or change posted hours at the June 5 meeting; Lynch said she can implement an earlier closing time (such as July 1) if the board directs her to do so at a later meeting.","At the June 5 Wilson County Urban Type Facility Board meeting, solid waste presenter Cindy Lynch reported increased loads from out‑of‑county users, recommended new convenience‑center rules and discussed changing closing times; the board approved the landfill report and a request to haul 31 jump tires to Rockwood.","actionData","errors"]
