Warrenton proposes town-run salt shed at Corral Farm landfill; county staff outlines conditions

Dot Shedd of the Town of Warrenton Department of Public Works described a Category 11 special exception application to allow the town to operate a salt shed on the Corral Farm landfill. Shedd said the use area would be about 3.5 acres within the RA portion of the property, and that all loading and unloading would occur inside the enclosed structure. She listed expected traffic volumes (approximately 10 trips per day during standby operations, and up to 50 trips per day during active winter-storm operations) and noted that applicable permits and a site plan must be obtained before property changes.

Staff indicated the property has a long approval history, including the original landfill approval in 1991 and several subsequent authorizations. County staff invited questions and there were no immediate objections raised by supervisors during the work session.
