RE: Land Fills and Runways
How is it that some sites allow development - buildings, paved runway/taxiway, pole shelter, etc., ?
Our local club is on a landfill (I agree, same as dump) and is not allowed to fill low spots, put up any structure that penetrates more the 12", or have electric. One would think it's a Superfund site or nuke repository. They did move some of the vents to facilitate a runway.
I can only assume the clubs with such improvements are adjoining (not on top of) the actual landfill, or have very different oversight.
