May makes presentation to waste committee SECTION 2 - PAGE I - PLAINDEALER - WEDNESDAY. AUGUST 22.1M4 Arnold N. May believes he has the solution to the county's waste disposal dilemma, and last yeek. he set about convincing toe McHenry County Waste Study Advisory Com­ mittee. May, owner of Hill view Farms Fertilizers, Inc., in Richmond, injects a combination of in­ dustrial sludge and animal wastes into the ground on 733 of the 1,500 acres he owns off of Solon Road. May said he has the capacity to handle 100 million gallons of waste. "I feel very strongly that what I'm doing is right," May told the committee. "I would like to feel I'm a participant and I'm helping McHenry County." May's operation is approved by the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency. His permit, which expires Feb. 1, 1986, allows May to inject a maximum of 12.5 million gallons of animal waste-sludge per year. May was the center of con­ troversy in late 1982 when Rich­ mond area residents voiced Woodstock dinner-theater to continue The Old Court House Inn and Stage One Incorporated have opened a dinner theatre production of 'Side by Side by Sondheim" in Woodstock. Scheduled for 10 performances through August, the musical includes a cast of five per­ formers from the McHenry County area. Singing a selection of songs from Stephen Sondheim's works for the musical theatre will be Lynn Schnelker, McHenry; Holly Stanfield, Lake Geneva; and Christopher Connell, Crystal Lake. Ms. Schnelker and Connell have extensive musical theatre experience and have worked with the community theatre companies in Wood­ stock. Ms. Stanfield most recently appeared in the Festival Tbttitre production of "A Little Night Music" at BelOit College in Wisconsin and will next be seen in "Pirates of Penzance" for the Candlelight Dinner Theatre in Chicago. Diane Doenig, Crystal Lake, who has accompanied many summer stock and cabaret musical reviews, will serve as pianist. The narrator will be Jerry Collins Woodstock, who has also performed with the area's theatre companies. The dinner theatre includes songs from " A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to The Forum,""West Side Story," "Gypsy," "DoJHear a Waltz?," "Anyone Can Whistle," "Company, ""Follies," "A Little Night Music," and "Pacific Overtures." With music and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim and additional music by Leonard Bernstein, Mary Rodgers, and Jule Styne and continuity by Ned Sherrin, "Side by Side by Sondheim" is a tribute to the creative talents of one of America's most noted writers for the musical theatre. Performances will continue on August 23-25, 30-31, and Sep­ tember 1-2. Tickets are available for performances at The Old Court House Inn and are $17.50 per person for dinner and show. More information about "Side by Side by Sondheim" is available by calling The Old Court House Inn at (815) 338- 6700. x. concerns about odor and the possibility of heavy metals polluting the water supply. Extensive testing by the IEPA and Gulf Coast Laboratories, Inc., of Park Forest, revealed no wrongdoing. Gulf Coast is hired by May to do regular soil testing. May attributed the smell to his hog operation, which he eliminated about six to eight months ago. Hie animals were sold, the waste was covered over and public criticism has tapered off substantially. "Everybody was in an uproar because they thought it had to be made, because it was an odor," May told the committee. "Regardless of what the odor is, we will get blamed because we have sludge." May receives up to 11 million gallons of non-toxic sludge per year from Abbott Laboratories in North Chicago. That IEPA permit expires Nov. 24, 1984. May estimated the cost to septage haulers would be about 3 cents per gallon, between $30 and $40 a truckload. The fee for municipal sludge would be between $7 and $10 per yard, May estimated. May said the injection process alone costs 2 cents per gallon. May said his 6 million-gallon underground tank would allow him to accept sludge throughout the year. The material would be injected after the ground thaws. May said concerns that he might corner the county waste market are unfounded. He said "free enterprise" allows anyone to enter the market if they wish. May invited the committee to tour his facility at their con­ venience. "I think we should try to get 100 percent of our waste utilized," he said. "I'd like to be a part of the final solution."
