Dear Mr. Billings:
We have inspected the site for Mr. Herbert Osborne NE'SW'S4NW'
Sec. 8,T.2N,R.68W for a site or facility of Sanitary Landfill and re-
commend favorable approval for a site.
We believe that Mr. Herbert Osborne has all the necessary equip-
ment and experience (know how) to manage a Sanitary Landfill.
We believe there id a definite need for another Sanitary Landfill
in that part of the County. The Longmont Landfill is located near this
site, but it is owned by the City of Longmont and is free for residence
of Longmont. The fee charged for the residence of Weld County is higher
than any other Landfill in the country.
We have received calls from the haulers of Dacona, Firestone, and
Frederick complaining about the charges of Longmont Sanitary Landfill.
We recommend very highly the prosposed site and Mr. Herbert Osborne
as the operator.

4., Dear Mr. Kelly:
,'
:
The enclosed State Act and Department Regulations require the designation
of all disposal sites and facilities by county commissioners. This De-
4. ;, pertinent is required to promulgate rules and regulations, provide technical
assistance to County Commissioners and review engineering reports and
operation plans for new sites and facilities. This Department encourages
; development of county-wide and regional plans as an initial step in im-
proving solid waste management systems. These plans should consider all
segments of the system including optimum number and suitability of site
locations. Generally, the trend is to have fewer sites and operate them
in compliance with minimum State Standards.
The preliminary site evaluation, made in the field November 19,1973, in-
dicated this site was suitable and could be designed and operated in
- accordance with the aforementioned standards, provided the hydrogeological and
topographic conditions were considered and provided it was in accord with
County landuse planning and zoning requirements.
Very truly yours,

location for Sanitary Landfill.
We believe there is a definite need for another Sanitary Landfill

TO ARUM IT MAY CONCERN:
In regard to land fill operations in vela County:
TM re are now hauling to Longmont Landfill which raises its prices every
couple months to the point we cannot afford it. We get the impression
that the owners of the dump would just as soon that we did not haul
there as they feel they need it for themselves.
Mr. Osborne has been trying to get this land fill started also in
weld County. Re has the equipment and the know how to operate a land
fill in accordance with the specifications of the County.
There is a small land fill over near Erie, but we cannot use this
because the big packer truck cannot get into or out of it. There is no
equipment there to help if a truck gets stuck and there is not enough
rccm for a truck to turn arounc. The dump is also too far away from
cur location of business, particularly in this time of gas crisis.
.e do hope.you will fully reconsicer opening this land fill as we
really need one of our own for this area.
Sincerely
Tri Area Trucking Service
