Waste Not
announces
decision
not to seek
clarification
The Waste Not Coalition
has decided not to ask the
Court of Appeals to clarify
its decision in the Riverbend
Landfill expansion case.
Although the Court of
Appeals clearly affirmed
LUBA's reversal of Yamhill
County's approval of expan-
sion at Riverbend Landfill,
the press widely reported
confusion about the mean-
ing of the decision. Through
its attorney, Bill
Kabeiseman of Garvey
Schubert Barer, Waste Not
queried Yamhill County
Counsel Rick Sanai about
joining the Coalition in a
request for clarification,
with the idea that a joint re-
quest would clear up what-
ever confusion existed and
save all parties time, effort,
and money as they moved
forward.
But the County rejected
the offer, and the Coalition
has to assume that is because
the County recognizes that
Waste Not and its partners
won the appeal and the case
is now over.
The Coalition continues
to be hopeful that Riverbend
and the County will be will-
ing to rethink their approach
to handling solid waste over
the next 25 years.
According to a Coalition
press release, Yamhill
County still has the same
opportunity facing commu-
nities across the country, to
look forward to find new
ways of handling trash and
garbage that generate posi-
tive benefits for their resi-
dents and businesses. Here
in Yamhill County, how-
ever, there is an added ur-
gency.
According to
Riverbend's website, the
existing landfill will reach
capacity and close in three
years. By contract with the
County, Riverbend will con-
tinue to accept Yamhill
County trash until Oct.
2014, but unless it drasti-
cally reduces the amount of
Wash it accepts from outside
the County, it will be truck-
ing local trash somewhere
else.
As the Coalition has em-
phasized over and over
again, Waste Management
is also keenly interested in
finding new solutions, espe-
cially ones that involve en-
ergy production. The current
LFGTE facility is not the so-
lution that bums only part
of the (dangerous, green-
house-creating) waste gas
and doesn't touch the waste
itself at all. The EPA esti-
mates there is two-times to
six-times the energy in the
trash itself as in the gas.
"If we use the trash
for energy, compost, re-use
we also obviate the need
for the fancy (and not totally
effective) environmental
protection measures that
landfills must use now,"
wrote a Waste Not spokes-
person in a press release.
"Neighbors win, businesses
win, Waste Management
wins, the environment
wins."
Waste Not and its part-
ners stand ready to assist the
parties in finding an effec-
tive, low-cost way to handle
solid waste that will benefit
the community as well as
our air, water, and soil.
"It's time for the parties
to stop fighting each other
and work together to
achieve this goal," said a
spokesperson.
