County fields inquiry from BMI about possible landfill purchase; capacity and permit limits noted

Sep 9, 2024

Geneva County reported a noncommittal inquiry from BMI about purchasing the county landfill; staff discussed current permit limits (40 tons/day in‑county), remaining cells on cell ten, equipment replacement needs of about $300,000, and regulatory constraints on accepting out‑of‑county debris.

The full story

Chairman Seay reported receiving an inquiry from BMI about whether the county would consider selling the landfill. Engineer Justin Barfield said the county is permitted for 40 tons per day of in‑county debris and that accepting out‑of‑county debris would require a major permit modification from ADEM; the county is currently operating on cell ten with four cells remaining.
