Roberta Landfill Phase II

Class I Disposal facility

Mr. Johnny King, owner, has applied to the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation (TDEC) Division of Solid Waste Management (DSWM) for a solid waste disposal facility permit to construct and operate a Class I disposal facility, to be identified as Roberta Landfill Phase II, SNL 76-0281. The facility is located in Scott County near Bear Creek at Oneida, Tennessee (latitude N 36°33'7.4" / longitude W 84°29'13.5"). The waste materials to be accepted are classified as domestic wastes, commercial wastes, institutional wastes, municipal solid wastes, bulky wastes, landscaping and land clearing wastes, industrial wastes, construction/demolition wastes, farming wastes, shredded automotive tires, dead animals, and special wastes.

Under State law, an applicant must obtain a permit before constructing or operating the proposed facility. DSWM has received a Part I Permit Application indicating Mr. King's desire to obtain the required permit.

A complete permit application consists of both a Part I and a Part II, as described in Regulations Governing Solid Waste Processing and Disposal Facilities in Tennessee, Rule 1200-1-7-.02(2)(c). Upon receipt of a complete Part I and Part II application, DSWM will do an in-depth review to determine if the application meets the technical standards of the Regulations described in Rule Chapter 1200-1-7-.04(9), Solid Waste Processing and Disposal. Once the technical review is completed, DSWM will make a tentative decision to either grant or to deny the permit and will issue a public notice of such decision. This second notice will provide the public at least 45 days to submit written comments on the proposed action and to request a public hearing (a public hearing may be announced in this second notice if there is already significant public interest). If there is a significant degree of public interest found following the publication of this second notice, a public hearing will be scheduled, and a public notice issued at least 15 days before the hearing. After considering all comments received, the DSWM Director shall issue a final permit decision and a response to comments.
