Florence, County Settle Landfill Dispute

Hotel Booking The Burlington County Board of Freeholders has agreed to build a bypass in Florence and give the township a 100 percent discount on solid waste brought to the county landfill to settle a lawsuit filed in 2000 over host-benefit fees.

Cheap Hotel At issue in the suit was the compensation Florence receives as the home to the county landfill, a 522-acre complex that straddles the Florence-Mansfield border. Instead of paying property taxes, the freeholders pay Florence and Mansfield host-benefit fees levied every time waste is dropped off at the site.

Flight Booking Florence sought to increase its benefit after the freeholders built a composting facility on the Florence section of the complex in 1996, arguing the value of the landfill increased as a result of the new plant. At about the same time, the freeholders were expecting a decrease in revenue at the complex because the solid-waste industry was being deregulated and they said they could not afford to increase the benefit.

Travel Agent Florence appealed to the state Department of Environmental Protec-tion and then took the county to court. The settlement calls for the freeholders to build an approximately 1-mile by-pass between River Road and the Haines Industrial Center at an estimated cost of about $2.5 million. The solid-waste discount should save Florence an estimated $233,000 annually.

Travel Health Insurance The county is pleased with the agreement because the landfill doesn't generate enough revenue to pay Florence any more than the existing $460,000 annual host-benefit fee, and county road-improvement bonds, not money from the cash-poor solid-waste budget, will be used to pay for the new bypass, said Mary Pat Robbie, director of the county Department of Resource Conservation.
