get a complete transcript. The process is for the siting application under Nebraska State Statues and is very formal. There will be record of the proceedings so they have the court reporter. There are six criteria and each is under the sub-heading in the application. There will testimony and exhibits presented and he has a packet of information for each of the board members. This site is limited to construction debris. • Exhibit#3 is a list of the land owners that received notice of the proposed application • Exhibit#4 is the minutes of the Regional Planning Commission meeting held March 1, 2017 and they recommend approval of the application • Exhibit#5 is a letter from Casey Sherlock, Hall County Surveyor regarding the traffic impact of the proposed landfill stating that the % increase in traffic is a very small increase and will have a minimal impact on existing traffic flows • Exhibit#6 is a pamphlet from the Nebraska Department of Environmental Quality regarding construction and demolition facilities addressing what is allowed and not allowed at the site • Exhibit#7 is the memorandum from Bill Gresham, Remedial Project Manager for the United State Environmental Protection Agency Region 7, regarding the five-year review report • Exhibit#8 is the Final Environmental Impact Statement from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, dated June 2005 Mr. Mossman stated he will turn it over to Jess Hurlbert with Olsson &Associates to address the design and the safety of the site and traffic. Mr. Hurlbert stated this is located north of Mr. O'Neill's existing site. This is 16 acre tract and he reviewed the maps of the area and the proposed design of the cell. This is a permitted area and Mr. O'Neill has the approval from DEQ. There will be a 5 to 6 foot cut for the cell. This is based on the fact that the DEQ requires a 10 foot separation from ground water. He stated that the property drains from the northwest to the southeast and they are not changing the existing drainage flow. They will be required to catch any silt that would wash out. The access is currently off of Potash Road and as the project moves forward he would like to request access off of Alda Road. There is a driveway that will hold all of his trucks and a scale house. There will be a perimeter road all around the site for fire suppression. They also have access across the tracks and may move that to work with the flow of traffic. There is specific list of fill materials that can be accepted, wood, drywall, plaster, roofing shingles and land clearing debris. It is strictly regulated by the DEQ and the cell does not have to be lined. They are required to have a closure plan and there would be enough materials to close the landfill at any time and they are required to have funds to do so. In the event it was closed there will be a 3 foot earthen cap and he note the specific slop of the cap that is used to minimize erosion. There would be 615,000 cubic yards of storage that would be about 35 feet above ground. The cell should last for 40 years. This is not residential pick up waste it would be in a dump trailer and is regulated waste. There will be no increase on wear and tear on the roads. It is extremely regulated and it will be one of the safest sites in Nebraska. He also uses recycling in his business and there is a high level of inspection and that is an added safety factor. 4
