Citizens Advisory Committee

The SPSA Board of Directors authorized the creation of a citizen advisory committee to make recommendations regarding SPSA’s request for landfill expansion.  Additional disposal capacity for the region will be needed after capacity in the existing permitted SPSA Regional Landfill is depleted.  In accordance with Virginia Solid Waste Regulations 9VAC20-81-450 and Virginia Code 10.1-1408.1.B.5 the role of the advisory committee was to assist with the selection of a proposed site for the future landfill.  Alternatives considered included the expansion of the existing SPSA landfill, a new landfill site within the member jurisdictions and the use of existing private landfills.  The committee was not a decision-making body, but rather served as an advisory group providing input to the SPSA Board of Directors.
