Delta County, Colorado. Please be advised that the Delta County <br />Board of Commissioners has purchased this property in 1988 which they have leased for <br />the past 12 years as a landfill site. I have enclosed a copy of a proposal suixnitted to <br />the Colorado Department of Health to amend the Certificate of Designation to allow asbe- <br />stos waste disposal in the "gob" disposal pit. Also, if possible, the county would uti- <br />lize the rest of the "gob" disposal for trash disposal. We are mainly concerned about <br />the falmability of the gob if used for solid waste cover material. We would appreciate <br />any comments you might have on the compatability of using the "gob" pit for solid waste <br />disposal. If you have any laboratory data or analysis on this "gob" material at the <br />North Fork Landfill please forward that information to us. <br />It is important to the County that this solid waste disposal site be used to its ful- <br />lest potential. Therefore, the county would petition you to suspend plans for reclamation <br />of this site until the county has completely used this area for the solid waste landfill. <br />Thank you for your attention to this matter and if you should have any questions re- <br />garding this matter please contact me. Also, if we are being presumptuous regarding <br />your permiting and bonding of this site please inform us inorder that our plans might <br />dovetail with your responsibilities. <br />Truly, <br />Kenneth Nordstrom <br />Director of Environmental Health <br />KN:iwp <br />
