Republic Services Submits Conditional Use Permit Application For Coffin Butte Landfill Expansion (Photo) -07/19/24

Today, July 19, 2024, Republic Services has submitted a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) application to expand the Coffin Butte Landfill. The Benton County Community Development Department is currently reviewing the application for completeness.  A Completeness Check is a planning term referring to a quality measure where an application is reviewed to ensure all required and requested information is included, along with any necessary supporting documents.

The review process involves several steps. County staff have a statutory 30-day period to assess whether the application is complete. If the application is deemed complete, the review process will start, and the County will complete the process within 150 days. If the application is incomplete, the applicant will have 30 days to provide the additional information.  

Once the application is complete, the County will conduct public outreach to ensure community engagement and transparency throughout the review process.
