\"I've had several calls and messages over the last month about a buggy issue. That is the spotted lanternfly, which was recently located in Reidsville,\" Kellum said. He described the insect as a threat to crops and some trees, noting \"The people are not at risk from it, but they are a nuisance to agriculture, and the state has been working diligently to control their spreading.\"

Kellum said the N.C. Department of Agriculture's plant industry division has concentrated distribution efforts in and near Reidsville \"within about a 2 mile square\" and asked the public to photograph suspected insects and submit them to northcarolinaagriculture.gov for identification.

No formal action was taken by the board. Kellum framed the item as a public‑information notice to encourage reporting and awareness among farmers, gardeners and residents. He did not list any county mitigation program or funding associated with the detection.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Rockingham County Board of Commissioners Meeting | June 16, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","Commissioner Kellum alerted residents to a recent spotted lanternfly detection in Reidsville, summarized state recommendations for reporting sightings and potential agricultural impacts, and directed residents to northcarolinaagriculture.gov for photos and reporting.","taxTitle","Rockingham County Board of Commissioners Meetings, Rockingham County, North Carolina","taxId",73553,"location","North Carolina","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":77,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":78,"_41":79,"_43":80,"_45":81,"_47":82,"_49":83,"_51":84,"_53":85,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":86,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":87,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6193171,"Board approves construction of 150,000‑gallon leachate tank at county landfill",242,1225000,1467000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3868181-0c6f4cfcc3e6b873ffed4dc61900c769&start=1225&end=1467","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3868181-0c6f4cfcc3e6b873ffed4dc61900c769/thumbnail_1225000.jpg","/articles/6193171/North-Carolina/Board-approves-construction-of-150000gallon-leachate-tank-at-county-landfill","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6193171-2557125b0ab704f45278c795e272c397/orig.mp4?Expires=1770437620&Signature=LcEwSauAJcjvrIkGJb8rhE4~NJ7jUh6QtpoQyyxndyu1lttoMyXtheBs35Ph~BObdtoGpOlQUUqcOl-kK12hzYJM4nEj4pye5bjVZadh8f2njQ5OwnbRZD-ACNQxmsAZJlbYyJmLrxqkJfCjSSaDK2gbB0yXpYLtoJsMVDpRXcD6OwygAduYXSLVReTN8KmPZvvYubZ5dP~bm2p2BSRJW3A-~5PxITF127NtO0X5WA~u5MrfD6UCA~9sP3qqsooQ-MIORjbC~3drrxWLozxM4fbkb-l586LPGYmJgf2lrLIYlvijwtTv7T1-1w7ZPyxDMA0h6ojg85Af7EmzJx9Tkw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Rockingham County Board of Commissioners approved construction of a 150,000‑gallon steel, glass‑lined leachate storage tank at the county landfill and authorized a 10% contingency and limited change‑order authority for the county manager.

\"I've got one item tonight for your consideration, and it's for approval of Northern Steel Tanks LLC to construct a 150,000 gallon steel glass lined leachate storage tanks for sales 5,6, and 7 at the landfill,\" said Ronnie Tate, who presented the project. Tate said the construction cost is $581,200 and requested a 10% contingency of $58,120, bringing the total to $639,320, and asked that \"the county manager [be] allowed to approve change orders up to $50,000 without board approval.\"

Tate told commissioners the funding will come from the landfill's new cell construction reserve fund. \"When we transferred the daily operations and management of the site to Wall Recycling, there were still some landfill reserve accounts that the county had, and one of them is new cell construction,\" he said. \"The funding for this leachate tank will come out of the new cell construction reserve fund.\" Tate added that once those reserve accounts are exhausted, \"all financial responsibility goes to Wall Recycling.\"

Commissioners asked technical and operational questions. Commissioner Barrow asked whether the tank would be elevated or at surface level; Tate said the tank will sit on the surface but be located on an elevated portion of land so that trucks can gravity feed and that it will also have a pump \"just to expedite that so you're not sitting there waiting for it to drain out.\" On storage expectations, Tate said the northern portion of cells 5–7 does not produce large volumes of leachate at all times, and that the leachate pond at the site holds about 1,359,000 gallons. \"At peak flow, for the landfill for the cells, your peak flow is about 33,000 gallons a day. Your leachate pond holds 1,359,000 gallons,\" he said, noting the new tank will capture leachate from the northern side of a rock ridge that prevents easy access to the main leachate lagoon.

Tate described construction details intended to reduce public‑health risk: \"This is a glass lined tank... and it's also going to be sitting on a concrete pad in a concrete enclosure that will hold if it were to overflow, it would hold that or have a leak. So it has a containment area around it.\" Commissioners also confirmed that routine maintenance would be handled by Wall Recycling once the firm assumed daily operations.

Commissioner Richardson moved to approve the contract award with the specified contingency and change‑order authority; Commissioner Hall seconded. The board approved the contract by voice vote.

The contract is with Northern Steel Tanks LLC, and the presentation recorded the construction cost of $581,200, a 10% contingency of $58,120, and an requested change‑order authority up to $50,000 for the county manager.","Rockingham County commissioners approved a $581,200 contract plus 10% contingency to construct a 150,000‑gallon glass‑lined leachate storage tank to service the northern cells of the landfill; funding will come from landfill reserve accounts and Wall Recycling will assume financial responsibility when reserves are exhausted.",{"_33":89,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":90,"_41":91,"_43":92,"_45":93,"_47":94,"_49":95,"_51":96,"_53":97,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":98,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":99,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6193176,"Commissioners approve rezoning of 4.19-acre parcel at 1024 N.C. 87 to neighborhood commercial",186,1030000,1216000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3868181-0c6f4cfcc3e6b873ffed4dc61900c769&start=1030&end=1216","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3868181-0c6f4cfcc3e6b873ffed4dc61900c769/thumbnail_1030000.jpg","/articles/6193176/North-Carolina/Commissioners-approve-rezoning-of-419-acre-parcel-at-1024-NC-87-to-neighborhood-commercial","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6193176-4e15c69210444568f795758f85c90563/orig.mp4?Expires=1770437620&Signature=hQ2QHakJxuRuY0yMOJUHADyHMyjjtUKrBzAqnGxoQo-AqawU4R5etVm1UZ6qa3poZJINO1Wux~NLAyP89GYWsYErWFbrQCni9x7noD5SNU14ybwlujqJghDmsgX9xWYm0Y58ckY3g1QnjQWElZiNcDX5gDdPahj~WiR5Ya7PmDE4LFi8zZuSNLXdp9ySs1VELP0tGOtxovaY1bBgyQLd5ihq9Qt7gScIa6qCj9lvWZ-DX51ny9prSXspHk~5H6~u6Grbo0F7Z7-wdRpUvXzF8SILBtwvhSDoT5dkKcAJD1D~W~eprvL7l7zE8rxHZCd9snZSkXlHFVxpr-OxsTaZDw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Rockingham County Board of Commissioners on Monday approved a request to rezone a 4.19-acre parcel at 1024 N.C. Highway 87 from Residential-Agriculture (RA) and Residential-Protected (RP) to Neighborhood Commercial.

Adam Barr, senior planner, presented planning case 2025‑07 and said it was a conventional rezoning that would allow review of the full set of potential uses in the proposed district. \"This is a request to rezone a property from residential agriculture and residential protected to neighborhood commercial,\" Barr said, and he identified the parcel by tax PIN 893200525517.

The item drew little local opposition: Barr told the board the planning board had voted unanimously to recommend approval at its May meeting and that staff had received only \"two or three calls, mostly kind of informative\" and one speaker at the planning board who opposed the request. \"We do have some single family homes particularly across the street,\" Barr said while describing existing land uses around the intersection of N.C. 87 and High Rock.

Commissioner Barrow moved to approve the rezoning; Commissioner Hall seconded. The board voted in favor by voice vote and the chair called for the ayes.

The county's comprehensive land-use plan designates the site as G2, a controlled-density growth area that explicitly lists neighborhood commercial as an appropriate district for the location, Barr said. The planning presentation noted the parcel carries split zoning, with RP on its northeastern portion and RA on the remaining acreage.

No members of the public signed up to speak at the county's public hearing. The planner and the board did not attach conditions on specific uses as part of the approval.

The rezoning will allow future permitting and development under the Neighborhood Commercial zoning rules; Barr and the board did not set a timeline for any specific development or building permits.

The planning case file number is 2025‑07 and the parcel was described in the record as 4.19 acres at 1024 N.C. Highway 87.","The Rockingham County Board of Commissioners unanimously approved a request to rezone a 4.19-acre parcel at 1024 N.C. Highway 87 from RA/RP to Neighborhood Commercial after a planning-board recommendation for approval; no members of the public testified at the hearing.","actionData","errors"]
