Rising landfill tonnage and capacity constraints
Summary
Landfill tonnage is 7.4% above normal, largely from construction and demolition waste. The permit modification that would add capacity won't be decided for roughly two years, so the county is staying within its 60,000-ton annual cap until then.

Impact analysis
Higher volumes mean more revenue now, but the eventual capacity crunch could mean higher disposal costs down the road.
The county gains extra revenue from the remediation project soil and above-normal tonnage.
If capacity runs out before the permit is approved, haulers and residents could face higher fees or disposal restrictions.
