No coal ash on a dozen years of DSSWA agendas (but Brooks County Landfill)

In agendas for the governmental group which supposedly has oversight of the landfill in Lowndes County, Georgia,
there is no mention at all of coal or coal ash.
Thanks to Julia Shewchuck of SGRC, those agendas
for the Deep South Solid Waste Authority (DSSWA)
are on the LAKE website.

[April 18, 2007 Agenda]
Back in 2006 the proposed
Brooks County Landfill
is on the
the proposed April 19, 2006 agenda,
and

the June 21, 2006 agenda
said there was
a public hearing June 29, 2006.
An update was on the
October 18, 2016 agenda.

2007 starts with one meeting with no mention of the landfill,
but the April 18, 2007 meeting has
“5. Discussion of Onyx/Langdale Proposed Land Swap”.
I don’t see any further mention of the Brooks County landfill
after that, and apparently it never happened.

Curiously, these mentions of the Brooks County Landfill on the DSSWA agenda
are all months after these VDT stories: Continue reading →

Videos: More northern subdivision rezonings + 6 Valdosta @ GLPC 2016-08-29

A third Lowndes County Case in west Valdosta near James Road,


REZ-2016-15, was pulled from the agenda until next month
to be sure it will be ready for review (but not withdrawn).
One Valdosta case,
CU-2016-02, was announced as withdrawn
at the beginning of the meeting.
The

stormwater LDR changes apparently were mostly to
remove description of very old previous material and various housekeeping
including reflecting a rate increase the Valdosta City Council already approved
back in June after a series of public hearings.
Expect the Comprehensive Plan back next month: they didn’t examine it this time because
the agenda was already very long. Continue reading →

Videos: 2 Lowndes County developments, Comprehensive Plan Update @ GLPC 2016-06-27

The
Comprehensive Plan Update was the

Other Business.
Staff mentioned the

many update workshops and said the Planning Commission could put it back on their agenda


after the

County Commission vote of the next day.

The

REZ-2016-12 Bemiss Road Roy Rhodes rezoning
is apparently some sort of science center for busing in home schoolers.
“Coding? What’s Coding?” said Commissioner Ted Raker.


REZ-2016-13 Evelyn Lund 4701 Knights Ferry Road
is a wedding venue.

Here are links to each of the LAKE videos of this June 27th 2016 GLPC meeeting,
