Attorney George Retos, Solicitor for the Washington County Industrial Development
Authority. Those in attendance included: Commissioners Mascara, Petrosky and Paluso;
Chief Clerk Dallatore; Attorney George Retos; Attorney Kathy Emery, Assistant County
Solicitor; Linda Ritzer, Observer -Reporter; and Pete Skirchak, Herald Standard.
Applicant: M.C. Arnoni Company
Project: To finance the acquisition of a landfilling
of municipal solid waste and associated waste
management activities at a 554-acre site at
3100 Hill Road, Union Township, Washington
County, and South Park Township, Allegheny
County, Pennsylvania, for an amount not to
exceed $14,000,000.
Attorney Retos explained that the reason for this expansion of the Arnoni
landfill is an expansion of the existing solid waste landfill permit upgrading and
construction of the 55 acres synthetic lined enhancement within the original permitted
boundaries. He stated that the project qualifies because it is environmental to
pollution control related. Chairman Mascara noted that the funds would be utilized for
a sanitary landfill permit upgrade in order to comply with DER's new permit
requirements (i.e., double liners, etc.).
Linda Ritzer of the Observer -Reporter questioned the interest rate on the
bonds and the time period. Attorney Retos explained that those items would be
