Supervisor Francis J. Murphy Town of Southold November 6, 1986 Page Pour In addition to th~ above, the Town of Southold should consider banning certain materials'(or .certain m~teri~ls in excess of some minimum quantity), increased fee structure and development of a manifest system, certifying that waste brought to the site has been collected within the Town of Southold. As more towns ban construction and demolition waste from their landfills, the possibility of the Town receiving out-of-town waste will esca- ~late. By copy of this letter, we are providing same to R~ymond Jacobs, commissioner of Public Works, and Robert Tasker, Esq., for their concurrent review. Should you wish to proceed with any of these suggestions in further detail, or if you have any questions on the above, please contact me at your convenience.
