192 Updates
Latest updates at the top.
09/19/06 - Important Notice - The county commissioners have suspended all development and operations at the 192 site while test and studies are conducted for the New 192 landfill. This process may take 2 - 6 years. Solid Waste Management has given us a temporary site at the 524 landfill until the process is completed. The site is very good and we should have it ready for use very quickly. More updates to follow.

Here are the detailed plans that were started
