Morris deal with landfill issue
As the project to bring natural
gas to Walton progresses, Morris
Twp. council learned, at the Aug.
19 meeting, that Union Gas would
be contacting those in the area who
initiated it to set up a meeting.
Waste disposal billing will be
forwarded to Brussels.
Council agreed that demolition
debris from municipalities other
than Brussels and Morris would not
be accepted at the landfill site.
A motion was passed which stat
ed that the Morris Twp. landfill site
is not licensed to accept waste from
other municipalities and that the
practice must be stopped. The situ
ation will be monitored and if the
problem continues, entry cards will
be checked.
Councillor John Duskocy
expressed a concern about the thin
gravel layer on Cone. 6, 1 1/4 miles
from County Road 12. Council
agreed to have the matter look into.
Richard Harris was hired to work
at the landfill site.
