Revenue from operating the transfer station then could be used to close the landfill properly.
But Simms and Turnbach said it is the commission's legal position that the county is not responsible for closing the landfill.
Simms said Noble has told the commission he is interested in reopening the landfill.
Miles said his client is in negotiation with the commission concerning the property and has asked the commission not to begin condemnation proceedings.
He said they are trying to reach an agreement with the commission to have the landfill reopened but would not confirm Noble wants to reopen it.                   

Community leaders do not understand the value of landfills, even more so when the facilities have been closed.  The County Commission is about to be rudely awakened!  It would serve the community best to have an individual who understands the landfill licensing procedure.
