Landfill Cap Prepared for Bid
Supervisor Cardinale, in a local radio broadcast, advised that the capping of the landfill may be on the horizon. The specifications for the cap are now being prepared and will be put out to bid sometime during the second week of August with replies expected within 30 days afterward.

Cardinale expects the cap to cost around $15 million dollars, considerably less than original estimates. In addition, the Supervisor expects the continued litigation in the matter to result in a further reduction of the total cost. So perhaps we will see a finalization of the landfill fiasco sometime this fall.
