The search for a new dump
will soon be underway. 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.

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.
