©ift liarren 2tecorft Volume 86 25* Per Copy Warrenton, County Of Warren, North Carolina Wednesday, March 23, 1983 Number 12 Results Of PCB Tests Are Given ATLANTA, GA. Recent tests of liquids from the PCB landfill in Warren County confirm that the landfill and leachate collection system are operating in accordance with design specifications, Charles R. Jeter, EPA regional administrator, has announced. Jeter said EPA's sample results confirm earlier state tests which showed "very low PCB concentrations in the collection system and almost undetectable levels after filtration." The leachate collection system was designed to collect, filter, hold and recycle any liquids in the landfill that accumulate during or after construction. After filtration, the water will be used to spray irrigate a vegetation cover that will be established over the cap to prevent erosion. The highest value found in tests of the leachate influent was less than three parts per billion and less than .3 (three-tenths) parts per billion after filtration. The Warren County landfill was constructed to contain PCB contaminated soil picked up along 240 miles of rural North Carolina highways. The project was developed under the EPA's Superfund program using 90 percent federal and 10 percent state funds.

Jordan told the board that there is a countywide need to paint schools during the summer months, but that prices from outside contractors have become prohibitive. Therefore, he suggested that an inhouse program of painting all school properties be begun in the new fiscal year. He said this would require the hiring of two new employees whose duties would be limited to painting and paint related responsibilities. This, he noted, would cost $39,800 when supplies and tools are added to the costs.

Chamber Opposing Closing Of Rails The board of Directors of the Warren County Chamber of Commerce has gone on record as opposing any plans by Seaboard Systems Railroad to abandon its lines between Norlina and Roanoke Rapids. Seaboard recently filed with the Interstate Commerce Commission (ICC) a request that the 33 miles of track be assigned to category 1, a designation that means the filing for abandonment is anticipated. That track is Warrenton Railroad's only connection with any other track. "The chamber feels the abandonment would adversely impact existing businesses in Warren County and efforts to attract new businesses, as well," Wayne Clower, president of the chamber said. The chamber's resolution, passed at its March 15 meeting, requests the N.C. Department of Transportation and the ICC to examine closely the economic effect of the action proposed by the railroad. The abandonment of the line would impact at least five Warrenton businesses that use Warrenton Railroad. They are Peck Manufacturing, Farmers Cooperative Exchange, Smith-Douglass Co., General Box Co., and Areola Lumber Co. Scott Accepts Post In Trenton Melvin A.
