BOARD AUTHORIZES LANDFILL SITE TESTING

The Board of Supervisors has authorized an engineer to conduct preliminary drilling studies on three sites identified as the top choices for a new county landfill.

The studies to determine the depth of bedrock and ground water could cost $10,000 to $15,000 for each site, according to Blacksburg consultant Lynn Croy.

Once the studies are completed in mid-April, Croy will return the results and cost estimates for supervisors to consider in picking a site.
