Committee discusses compost spreading on closed landfill, considers permit application
Summary
Members discussed options for spreading compost on the closed landfill hill, including using a manure spreader or researching pyrolysis; committee suggested pursuing a permit application and a follow-up Zoom with relevant parties.
Committee members discussed possible onsite application of compost on the closed landfill hill but did not reach a final decision.
Solid Waste Director Lisa Bauknecht said staff had provided emails on the matter but had not yet received definitive approval from the parties involved. Committee member Kyle Kilbourn mentioned researching a thermal option called pyrolysis, and Kyle Timmons suggested a manure spreader for application. Fried and Timmons proposed preparing a permit application requesting approval to spread compost onsite evenly over the closed landfill so that runoff would flow through the new leachate pre‑filtration system. The committee agreed to continue follow‑up via email and to consider a Zoom meeting with appropriate parties at the next committee meeting.
No formal permit application was approved at this meeting; action items were to continue investigation, draft a permit application if appropriate, and convene additional stakeholders for discussion.
