Planning board tables proposed high‑intensity dump‑site permit pending ADEQ classification

Washington County planning staff presented a conditional use permit application for a high‑intensity construction‑spoils dump site on a roughly 18.35‑acre parcel, with the project occupying about 10 acres. According to the staff report, the site receives earth spoils and aggregates from construction projects across northwest Arkansas, operates primarily Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. with occasional Saturdays, employs one on‑site worker, and averages 15–25 truck deliveries per day (staff estimated up to 600 loads per week during peak demand). Staff said there are currently no structures or utilities on the property and that the applicant had ceased operations after being notified of noncompliance; planning staff reported receiving two complaints about dump‑truck traffic and road condition.
