A proposed landfill in northern Anderson County that caused a community uproar in the spring is on the verge of reality with a decision from the Department of Health and Environmental Control.
Adam Myrick, DHEC spokesman, said that a final permit for the construction and demolition landfill is expected to be issued next week.
An appeal of DHEC’s decision can be made within 15 days of the permit’s issuance, Myrick said.
The proposed Greenpointe landfill along Hamlin Road stirred residents and local officials to outspoken protest, citing possible environmental repercussions, damage from heavy trucks to two-lane Hamlin Road and water and soil contamination from the unlined landfill.
