DER approves a short-term expansion of the landfill By RON MORGAN Daily News Staff Writer Bernard Hoffner, of Six Mile Run. RD. chairman of the Tri County- Solid Waste Authority, reported Monday that the state Department of Environmental Resources (DER) has agreed to consider proposals from local planners to allow a short- term expansion of the landfill.

Hoffnar said that DER was encouraged with local officials' concern to work closely with DER in seeking a short term solution to the landfill problem until long range plans can be developed. Remarked Hoffnar, "ft seems that something can be worked out that will be agreeable to everyone." Hoffnar and county representatives met with DER officials last week in Harrisburg. They encouraged DER to permit the expansion of the existing landfill until the Tri County Solid Waste Authority can come up with a long range plan for dealing with the solid waste disposal problems in Huntingdon. Bedford and Fulton Counties. Besides Hoffnar.

Bedford County- Planning Commission executive director Larry- Carter, county- commissioner Joe Clapper and authority solicitor Franklin Kury met with DER representatives Mike Stsiner of the Bureau of Solid Waste Management, and specialists Frank Fair and Mark Embeck. Phil Dann of Senator Robert office was also in attendance. Small Expansion Possible Hoffnar told The Daily News that DER hesitantly agreed to consider an expansion of the landfill intothe so called Pit No. 4. but warned that inflexible DER regulations would be applied.

Before such an expansion can be approved. DER wants to see an environmentally sound plan for the operation of the extended landfill area. DER officials pointed out that the agency does not plan to grant an expansion of the landfill that would permit its operation to extend more than three to five years. Hoffnar told The Daily News Monday afternoon that the Tri County Solid Waste Authority expects to "have some very strong direction in what area to go with in two to four years or three to five years depending on circumstances." Already, county engineer P. Joseph Lehman of Hoilidaysbarg has started engineering work for the expansion to Pil No.

4 and expects to submit test pit results and topographic maps to DER next week. Pit No. 4 is situated adjacent to the present portion of the landfill. Must Be Feasible DER officials told county planners that the stale agency frowned on natural (unlined) landfills, but noted that if engineering studies confirmed an unlined expansion to be feasible. DER may approve such an expansion.

At this point. DER officials are concerned about the availability of the proper soil to be placed in the bottom ot the pit and to put over the lop of the trash. Another area of concern is the unreasonable expense involved in maintaining the extended area because of the short lifespan of the landfill. Local officials were also told by DER that Pit No. 1.

an unpermitted area of the landfill, would have to be covered, graded to a 15 percent slope. and seeded. It will be necessary for county planners to draw up a closure plan. DER told the group last week. There still exists several small areas within the permit area lhal will be utilized, thus allowing about six to 12 months additional life span for the landfill.

Currently, the landfill handles 10.000 cubic yards of garbage a month. Engineer Lehman is expected to keep in contact with DER so that unnecessary engineering work won't be performed should the proposed extension be rejected by DER. Study Proposals Proposals for the creation of a solid waste plan are expected by Feb. 14 which will be reviewed by the Bedford County Planning Commission staff and members of the Tri County Solid Waste Authority. It is hoped that the authority will select a suitable plan at its Feb.

24 session in Saxton. Followingthe selection, the Bedford County Commissioners will act on the the recommendation at its next monthly In the meantime, the expansion to Pit No. 4 is seen as a "must" iocal officials pointed out. The landfill is situated on property owned by James Simon of Mount Gretna. Opened 14 years ago.

James Krieger of Saxton, RDl, operates the landfill. DER granted the permit to Bedford County to operate the landfill in 1972. A crisis has been developing at the county landfill because of the closing of several other landfills in the region. FORT PITT 5.9$.
