PORT ANGELES — A draft plan for what happens when the Port Angeles garbage landfill closes in December 2006 will be discussed Friday at a special meeting of the Port Angeles Utility Advisory Committee.
The committee will meet at 10 a.m. in the Public Works Conference Room at City Hall, located at 321 E. Fifth St..
The committee makes recommendations to the City Council on public works issues.
The Port Angeles landfill at the end of West 16th Street is scheduled to close because it will be full and is too close to William R. Fairchild International Airport, where scavenger birds pose a danger to aircraft.
The landfill takes all of the garbage generated in Clallam County, about 52,000 tons annually.
Rather than expanding the landfill or building another one elsewhere, the city has proposed closing it.
