Phase 9 landfill construction hits snag, adding time and cost
Construction of Phase 9 at Walker Mountain Landfill has hit a snag after crews discovered unexpected underground conditions that will come at a cost, both financially and as a delay in completing the landfill’s next area for waste disposal. The Rome-Floyd Solid Waste Commission discussed the issue Tuesday and approved moving forward with the proposed changes so work would not be delayed further. The action is expected to be placed on upcoming agendas for formal ratification by city and county commissions. Project consultant Robert Brown said crews encountered conditions during excavation that were not anticipated when plans were developed for the landfill’s final disposal phase in Site 2. The problem involves an existing gravity sewer and underdrain associated with Phase 7. They were found to be shallower than expected and require more rock removal than originally anticipated. A more significant issue arose when the bottom of the new landfill cell remained wet after excavation. Further investigation showed the gravity sewer and underdrain did not meet new liner system requirements, which are set by the Georgia Environmental Protection Division. The state requires the infrastructure to be at least 5 feet below the landfill liner system. “Right now our plan is to

Cave Spring considering 90-day moratorium on commercial property permits
Cave Spring is moving toward a 90-day moratorium on commercial property permits while city officials work to address gaps in the city’s floodplain administration program. The Cave Spring City Council approved the first reading of the proposed moratorium during its Sept. 8 meeting, which clears it for adoption Oct. 13. City Manager Stephen Walker said the proposal would apply to commercial properties citywide, not only properties located in flood zones. “There’s some training and some qualifications that have not been looked after for like the last two, three years,” Walker said. “And our switch to Bureau Veritas has left a large hole in flood administration in the city of Cave Spring.” Bureau Veritas is a third-party firm that provides building inspection and code enforcement services for Cave Spring. Walker said the city also received a report from the Georgia Environmental Protection Division that raised concerns about how Cave Spring was carrying out its responsibilities under the National Flood Insurance Program. Because much of Cave Spring lies within a flood zone, Walker said city officials want to have the proper qualifications in place before issuing additional commercial permits. “We’re taking the steps we can to make sure that all the qualifications
