Waste Permit Changes Public Hearing Set for Tuesday

LUNENBURG – The Lunenburg County Board of Supervisors are set to hold their November meeting on Thursday, but a joint public hearing regarding the conditional use permit (CUP) modifications that have been discussed recently for RWG5, LLC, the company that owns the Lunenburg County Landfill, has garnered more attention.

That meeting between the Lunenburg County Board of Supervisors and Planning Commission will take place on Tuesday, November 19, at 7:00 p.m.

The primary changes from the existing C.U.P. are an increase in the permitted height of the landfill from 584 feet above mean sea level to 790 feet above mean sea level and the increase of allowable permitted tons per day above the current permitted limit of 1,000 tons per day.
