Staff scheduled a tour of the Adams County landfill for March 18 and said the visit is intended to let Whitman County staff see operations and discuss whether there are circumstances where material could be hauled directly to Adams County while respecting Whitman County's flow-control ordinance. Staff explained Adams County's facility currently accepts mostly Spokane-origin material and that understanding the landfill's operations will help the county evaluate hauling and cost alternatives.
