Landfills
Clement’s Landfill: In April 1987 , a study was completed by Gannett Fleming Environmental Engineers, Inc. to evaluate the feasibility of expanding the site into Area III for eight (8) years of additional capacity or converting the site into a home-owner drop-off center with an expansion to the St. Andrews landfill. The latter alternative was chosen as it was projected to be less costly over the 10 year planning period. The Clement’s Landfill property, formerly a portion of the Tennyson Farm, was purchased on July 28, 1971 and land-filling operations continued until May 1, 1989 under a State approved Refuse Disposal Permit. The original site was 47.428 acres and is owned by the Board of County Commissioners. Post-closure monitoring continues to this date. Oakville Landfill: This site was formerly known as the Cape St. Mary’s or the Sandgates site and was utilized as a waste and tire disposal area by residents prior to it’s purchase by the County Commissioners on August 1, 1967 and March 31, 1969. Effective July 1971, Rules and Regulations governing the disposal of material at this site were adopted. The current site is comprised of 244.75 acres. Was historically utilized by homeowners in the St. Mary’s City and St. Indigoes areas for solid waste disposal. Later, in 1976, as a part of a long-term lease arrangement with the property owner(s), a convenience center was constructed on the site. A site investigation (8-23-00), report on ground-water analysis (10-30-00), and a waste characterization report (3-08-01) were conducted by the County prior to purchase of approximately 13.6 acres of the original 16.671 acre parcel by the Board of County Commissioners on May 24, 2001. Total acquisition costs: $141,916 Old Hollywood
