Clay County commissioners back KDHE re-permitting support, order landfill cleanup
Summary
After touring the Clay County Landfill, commissioners authorized a consultant to prepare a KDHE re-permitting support letter and directed the landfill director to remove mattresses and e‑waste before the end of March and return with a status report.
The Clay County Board of Commissioners toured the Clay County Landfill on March 16, 2026, then met with Landfill Director Rhonda Carroll and consultant Jarred Brooks of Schwab Eaton. Jarred Brooks presented maps and cell-life estimates for the existing landfill cells and the board authorized Brooks to prepare a letter of support for KDHE re-permitting.
Commissioners told Carroll to remove mattresses and electronic-waste stockpiles before the end of March and to appear on next week’s agenda with a cleanup update. The board instructed that the cleanup should proceed even if it requires Landfill funds, signaling the county will prioritize site appearance and operations now rather than defer costs. The landfill meeting began at 11:00 a.m. and the board adjourned there at 12:20 p.m.
The move to prepare a re-permitting support letter is intended to accompany technical materials from the consultant; the transcript does not specify the duration of the proposed permit or the permit conditions KDHE will require. The board did not specify a budget for the cleanup; commissioners said to proceed with removal even if it incurs expense to the Landfill.
