The proposed means of transporting this dry fill was either by truck or by rail with a spur built to the site. The dump will operaterk on a sanitary land fill basis with all clay soil being trucked across U.S. #12 from land owned by Mr. Dumas on the north Bide of this highway. There is no available fill on his property south of this heavily travelled highway.
