Summary

Supervisors approved a required 20-year update to the county's solid waste management plan after a brief presentation by staff and SES Engineers; approval was unanimous by voice vote.

Amherst County’s Board of Supervisors on March 18 approved the county’s 20-year update to its solid waste management plan. The update was introduced at the board’s February 18 meeting by county staff and Quinn Bernier of SES Engineers; staff returned to the board to seek approval.

A county staff presenter summarized that the update is required and asked the board for questions; none were raised. Supervisor Martin moved to approve the 20-year update "as presented on 02/10/2025," and the board approved the motion by voice vote with no recorded opposition.

Why it matters: The solid waste management plan guides landfill operations, long-range capacity planning and related capital projects such as the newly authorized Cell 2 construction. The board’s approval completes the formal update process initiated earlier this year.

Meeting record: The plan was presented previously; the March 18 action was an approval motion and voice vote. No dissenting comments were recorded during the March 18 discussion.
