KIM-STAN ACCUSED OF 87 ZONING ORDINANCE VIOLATIONS

Alleghany County has accused the Kim-Stan landfill of violating the county's zoning ordinance 87 times this year, an allegation that could cost the private dump as much as $87,000.

County officials filed the criminal charges last week after Alleghany County Circuit Judge Duncan M. Byrd Jr. ruled in a civil case that the landfill had violated the zoning ordinance.

The county argued that Kim-Stan's installation of a pumping station on rented land off the dump site constituted an unapproved expansion. The pump was to ship polluted water flowing under a road to a holding pond on the landfill site.

Unless Kim-Stan appeals Byrd's ruling, it must remove the pumping station this week.

A trial on the criminal charges is set for May 31 in Alleghany County General District Court. Kim-Stan could be fined up to $1,000 a day for the period from Jan. 1 to March 28.
