Gering council members have approved an agreement for a 6 year option to purchase more than 460 acres of land from the Weinhold family east of Gering. Now the regulatory process begins and the testing and analysis of soil and water at the proposed site.
Mayo, our guest on KNEB's News Extra program, says even though there are new rules, there is "an urgency" to get the new landfill sited despite the recent construction of cell six at the old landfill. Mayo notes if the area has a few major hail storms, the planned lifespan of cell six will be shortened.
Mayo says he believes the new landfill can get sited in six years, but it also could take much longer if there are regulatory delays.
