County staff estimate about 44 years of landfill capacity based on 2019 survey data
Summary
A speaker reported a preliminary calculation that the county landfill has roughly 44 years of capacity, citing work by "Brandon and Pinto" and the last detailed measurement in 2019; staff said a more solid figure could be provided on request.
Cheyenne County participants discussed an initial estimate of remaining lifespan for the county landfill. Speaker 2 said a calculation by "Brandon and Pinto" indicated about 44 years of capacity based on the cubic feet of available space and projections from annual fill rates.
Speaker 2 explained that the estimate used the most recent comprehensive measurement taken in 2019 and that the quick calculation should be treated as preliminary: "he could get a a more solid figure if you want to have his amount," Speaker 2 said. The speaker presented the 44-year figure as an initial planning figure rather than a finalized engineering estimate.
County participants did not record a formal decision about follow-up in the transcript beyond noting that staff could seek a more detailed calculation from Brandon. No funding implications or policy changes were voted on during the discussion recorded in the transcript.
