SOUTHERN STATES, THE GROUP WORKING TO BUILD A CONSTRUCTION LANDFILL AT HODGES MINE ROAD HAS CLEARED A HURDLE THIS WEEK. THE ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION DIVISION NOTIFIED BARTOW COUNTY THAT THEY HAD REVIEWED AND APPROVED A PERMIT FROM SOUTHERN STATES FOR A SOLID WASTE DISPOSAL OPERATION.
THE CONDITIONS FOR THE PROJECT INCLUDE THAT ONLY CONSTRUCTION AND DEMOLITION WASTE MAY BE DISPOSED AT THE FACILITY AND NO QUANTIFY OF HAZARDOUS WASTE SHALL BE ACCEPTED.
HOME OWNERS OPPOSED TO THE LAND FILL VOW TO FILE AN APPEAL.
