Fayette County, IL-(Vandalia Radio)- A hearing date has been set concerning an application for a waste transfer station in the county. The Fayette County Board on June 14 held discussion and set a date for a public hearing on a site application for a proposed waste transfer station from Chris Sutter, owner of Sutter Disposal and Countryside Disposal, for August 2 and 3. The hearing will begin at 1pm on August 2 and will go on until 6pm that evening. If more time is needed, the hearing will continue at August 3 at 9am and will go until noon. Due to the hearing being scheduled on August 2, the board’s monthly Finance Committee meeting will be moved from August 2 to August 9 prior to the monthly full board meeting.
This will be the second time a public hearing is to be held for a site application for a proposed waste transfer station. In November, a public hearing was held over the course of two days on the first site application from Sutter. Following the hearing, the matter was left for the county board to decide if the site application met the 9 criteria set forth by the Environmental Protection Agency. The board did not take a vote on the matter though as Sutter withdrew his application with the intent to resubmit after addressing concerns brought up during the November hearing. Sutter did resubmit his site application this Spring and the August hearing is the next step in the process of working towards possible approval or denial of the site application based on if the county board deems the application as meeting all EPA criteria.
