LANDFILL
Continued from page 1
Jenkins County
Concerned citizens gathered
at the Jenkins County
Landfill on Friday, July 28,
to attend a presentation by
Atlantic Waste owner, Ben
Wall, and a panel of experts
to discuss the proposed
site for a new landfill. The
presentation aimed to
address the community's
worries and provide detailed
information about the
project's potential impacts.
Approximately fifteen
citizens attended the
event, which was also
livestreamed by the Jenkins
County Times to reach a
broader audience. Among
the attendees were Ben
Wall, owner of Atlanta
Waste, Keven Shaw, the
current Jenkins County
Landfill manager with
extensive experience,
Curtis Reynolds, a landfill
consultant and engineer
from Harbin Engineering,
Chris Holstrom, Chief
Financial Officer, Brad
Bowman, Vice President,
and Sam Sullivan, former
owner of Allgreen’s.
The proposed landfill site
is planned to be a municipal
solid waste (MSW) landfill,
and Ben Wall reassured the
audience that the state's
regulations would be
strictly adhered to. “These
regulations require the
landfill to be covered daily
with at least 6 inches of soil,
limit the working space
to 1.5 acres, and restrict
the disposal of wastewater
sludge to minimize
unpleasant odors emanating
from the site.”
Curtis Reynolds, the
landfill consultant, and
engineer emphasized the
natural barrier provided
by the abundant clay
on the site. “Compared
to typical landfill liner
systems with 2-4 feet of
clay, the proposed Jenkins
County site boasts 20-40
feet of clay, which would
significantly slow down
groundwater penetration.
Reynolds stated, it would
take around 500 years for
groundwater to permeate
through that much clay,
reducing the risk of ground
water contamination.”
Addressing concerns
related to the old sanitary
landfill, Reynolds assured
the audience that “any
existing groundwater
contamination rates were
extremely low and presented
virtually no health risks.
Measurements indicated
that groundwater flow at
the Jenkins County Sanitary
Landfill and Construction
and Demolition Landfills
ranged from .003 to .044
feet per day, with an
average of .0235 feet per
day,” suggesting that it
would take around 35 years
for groundwater to travel
300 feet.
During the presentation,
questions arose about
why Ben Wall did not
consider his property across
from the Jenkins County
airport for the landfill.
Wall explained that state
regulations deemed his
property unsuitable due to
its proximity to the airport
and a historic site.
In response to concerns
about stormwater runoff, it
was explained that modem
landfills are equipped
with a storm drainage
system designed to divert
ARRESTS
Continued from page 1
stormwater away from the
landfill to sediment basins.
These basins allow for the
slow release of stormwater,
minimizing land disturbance
and development.
One of the main points of
discussion was the impact
of the state's population
expansion on waste
management. Currently,
Jenkins County's household
garbage is sent to Chatham
County, but the available
space there is projected to
last only five more years.
With an estimated 25,000
new households expected
in Effingham and Bryan
Counties over the next
five years, the need for
alternative waste disposal
solutions has become
critical.
“The proposed landfill
will remain in compliance
with all state and local
laws, and the facility will
stay updated with cutting-
edge technology,” Mr. Wall
assured the audience. He also
emphasized that medical
and hazardous waste would
not be disposed of in this
landfill, as such waste
would undergo a rigorous
sterilization process before
being handled.
At the conclusion of the
presentation, Mr. Wall was
asked if there was anything
about the project that
worried him as a property
owner. He responded with
confidence, “as a property
owner, I committed to
ensuring the safety and well
being of my neighbors." He
expressed his trust in the
project's measures to prevent
contamination, emphasizing
that he would never take any
action that could endanger
his own family.
The presentation offered
citizens valuable insights
into the proposed landfill
project, helping to allay
concerns and provide
transparency about the
measures taken to minimize
any potential adverse
impacts. As the process
moves forward, it is evident
that the stakeholders are
committed to addressing
community concerns and
ensuring environmental
responsibility in waste
management.
was on hand to discuss the
potential for contamination.
“It would take about 500
years for groundwater to
leach through 40 feet of
clay.”

incident and taken into custody.
Ryan Robertson, the primary suspect, was arrested on charges of hindering apprehension of a criminal, likely stemming
from his attempt to flee the scene after the altercation. Meanwhile, Anthony Brown Jr. faced a slew of outstanding
warrants from multiple jurisdictions, including several serious charges that raised concerns.
Brown's outstanding warrants included charges such as giving a false name, address, or birthdate to a law enforcement
officer, possession of a firearm by a convicted felon or felony first, fleeing or attempting to elude a police officer - a
felony offense, obstructing or hindering law enforcement, driving under the influence of alcohol (DUI), aggravated assault,
escape - another felony charge, and multiple traffic violations like driving without a valid license and seat belt violation.
The charges against Anthony Brown Jr. indicate a history of disregard for the law and raise concerns about the potential
risks posed by his actions.
Chief Dwayne Herrington credits, “the quick response and decisive actions of the Millen Police Department for
apprehending both suspects safely and effectively. Our officers’ actions ensured that the incident was swiftly resolved and
prevented any further escalation of the situation.”
Herrington continues, “the safety and security of residents in Millen are of paramount importance to the police department,
and incidents like these are treated with the utmost seriousness. Thanks to the dedication and professionalism of the
officers involved, the community can rest assured that steps are taken to address criminal behavior and maintain public
safety.”
As the investigation unfolds, local authorities will continue to work diligently to ensure that justice is served, and the
involved individuals are held accountable for their actions. The Millen Police Department remains committed to protecting
the community and upholding the rule of law, ensuring that the Ella Mae Garden Apartments and surrounding areas
remain safe for all residents.
