Apparently

ADS’s landfill gas project
wants to take in methane from the closed old landfill, as well,
according to a public notice today that proposes
a pipeline from the old

Evergreen Landfill
to the

Pecan Row Landfill that has the natural gas turbine.

Nevermind
the

$27,500 fine for PCBs or
that

coal ash in the landfill that nobody on the Lowndes County Commission
or Valdosta City Council or Deep South Solid Waste Authority (SWA) can be bothered to check on.
Nevermind the

unaccounted for tipping fees
or
host fees.
I wonder if cutting through that vegetative buffer will let the coal ash and PCBs reach the Withlacoochee River more easily?

The yellow path indicated for the pipeline is just a guess.

In the VDT today,

PUBLIC ADVISORY NOTICE,

The proposed project located west of Valdosta, in Lowndes County, GA
along Wetherington Lane near the Pecan Row Landfill facility (2995
Wetherington Lane, Valdosta, GA, 31601) involves buffer
encroachments necessary to install a 30-inch gas pipeline. This
pipeline will connect the nearby Evergreen Landfill to the proposed
Pecan Row Landfill gas to energy facility. The pipeline easement
will be maintained after construction to an herbaceous vegetation


level. The project will require buffer disturbance of 30 linear feet
along an unnamed tributary to Spring Branch.

This work requires a stream buffer variance complying with the rules
of the Georgia Dept. of Natural Resources,

Environmental Protection Division,

Chapter 391-3-7. Plans may be viewed at and/or written
comments submitted to GAEPD, Program Manager, Non-Point Source
Program, Erosion and Sedimentation Control Unit, 4220 International
Parkway, Suite 101, Atlanta, GA, 30354.

I added the links and drew the annotations on a county tax assessors map.

Here’s a more legible version of what
Chapter 391-3-7 means.

Update 2014-06-18: Fixed that last link, and put a copy on the LAKE blog in case GA EPD moves it again. -jsq
