The On tario Landfill has a miximum life of 15 years, Vale and Nyssa, far less. The reasons for the >e abbreviated futures are V.ll lol, but Ifie Msuit 1 I til' same in each case. The largest location for So lid Waste Disposal in Malheur County is the Ontario Sanitary Landfill. This facility, owned and operated by the Ontario Sanitary Service, is the only landfill in the county which has daily coverage of garbage. Al though the landfill charges everyone bringing refuse, the landfill is operating in the red. The difference comes out of re venue paid by Ontario citizens for garbage collection service. This landfill has an estimated lifetime of 15 years at pre sent levels of operation. As Ontario and the surrounding area grows, ana as me unauthorized sites are closed, this 15 years will be reduced. The Lytle Boulevard site ser ving the Nyssa area is in an even more precarious position than the Ontario Landfill. Un like the Ontario dump, Lytle is not located on privately owned land, but is on BLM property. The Federal Government, th rough the Environmental Pro tection Agency, has strict re gulations concerning the opera tion of solid waste disposal sites on their land. One of these regulations require that each site is to be covered each day. To cover the trash with soil every day is not econo mical as Lytle only receives 1/3 the refuse received at Ontario. Therefore, the county must look at alternatives to the current operations. Perhaps a land trade can be administered such that the county would acquire l.ytle. The county, however, has little land for which the BLM would be willing to trade. This means that within a few years, regard less of the usable life left, Lytle will have to tie closed. The third major county dump is operated by the City of Vale. Located just south of the city, the Vale Landfill receives about 6,000 pounds of the 19,000 ge nerated in that area each dav. About 4,000 pounds is burned every day but unlike Nyssa and Ontario, this is not done by the resident in his backyard burn barrel. The City of Vale ope rates a sanitary service much the same as sewer and water service, thus instead of only 30 to 60 percent of the residents having garbage collection (asm Nyssa and Ontario), all Vale residents receive the service. For this reason fewer Vale ci tizens need to burn their re fuse. It is turned, however,' when it reaches the dump. Like Lytle, the Vale dump is on fe deral land and will soon have to meet federal regulations. For this reason, Lytle, Vale and many of the smaller dump sites will have to be closed in just a few years. Another county operated site on BLM land istheSlidesLand fill. Located near the Snake Ri ver on Highway 201, Slides is on the Oregon side near Wei ser. Slides and the dump in McDermitt have each had afire this year demonstrating the fire hazard at many of our dumps. Slides is located on unstable soil which could shift and cause se veral kinds of pollution and ex pensive slide repairs. This site »ill soon be receiving as much as 300 pounds of solid waste each day. These are a few of the bet ter, larger, sites where solid waste disposal now takes place. Nigerian Pipeline Up» Production (.opacity Completion of a 65-mile pipeline in Nigeria from Ubie to a new terminal at the mouth of the Brans River was announced by W. F. Martin, president of Phillips Petro leum Company, Bartlesville, Okla Crude oil movement was started through the 24-inch diameter pi|>eline on April 5 with initial throughput of H9.000 barrels of oil per day. It snould be obvious that better planning in the future can avoid some of these problems. Since these sites are necessary, the county must find some tempo rary operational methods until new sites or new technology al lows the operation of the sites in a safer manner. This is what the Solid Waste Committee will be doing the next few months.
