" Lehi and Cedar Urreltlan?n, 7 miles from the ' Dam ldf111 at Lindon. nsad the Special Serv ice District board has been looking for a new landfill location for some time, since the Lindon site can only be used for a few more years before it is filled out. He estimated a new landfill will be needed in three to six years. "It's going to be a long term project," proj-ect," Dameron said. "These will be preliminary studies." Dameron said it would cost between be-tween $2 and $2.5 million to get the site prepared - not including the cost of paving the road near the site. Dameron said the special service district hopes to get help from the Utah County Commission in paving that stretch of road. There are other details to be worked out before garbage would be hauled to a new site, such as a route for the garbage trucks from the nine cities that belong to the special service district. Tentative plans, according to Dameron, are for the cities south of Lehi to bypass Lehi when hauling trash to a Cedar Valley site by using the road near the old Lehi Sugar Factory. But so far, nothing concrete has been decided abouthaulinggarbage through American Fork and Pleasant Pleas-ant Grove on the way to a Cedar Valley site. Also, rates will change when a new site is used, but since rates are determined by how far garbage has to be hauled to a landfill site, they very well could increase for Orem and Lindon residents, but decrease for those who live in Lehi. The proposed site is remote and out of site from any major roads or cities a trend in landfill management, manage-ment, Dameron said. Monday evening, local mayors or other city representatives were scheduled to tour the proposed landfill site.
