last fall, the field’s stands were
thin, due to poor winter weather
conditions. Reseeding has
established the fields in a mixed
clover-timothy-alfalfa hay, and lab
tests on crop residue show that
background heavy metals in plant
samples are less than samples
taken from crops grown on “virgin
soils.”
“That means crops taken from
the acreage are suitable for en
tering the food chain,” affirms
landfill manager Bill Ehrman.
“And we’re excited about that.”
Ground water is monitored four
times yearly, and vents carry off
methane gases being generated
underground as the waste layers
decompose. Although Ehrman
says that some methane is being
collected from similar in
stallations in California, the gas if
highly flammable and the'
authority has no immediate plans
to harness the methane release.
At the current rates of tonnage
going into the landfill, Ehrman
noted that the site has the capacity
to operate another ten years.

visitors climbed a gentle, sun
splashed hill to where the last of
the Naylor Winery grapes hung in
deep clusters on neatly-staked
rows of vines, and then ended their
conservation education with a
brief sampling of the winery’s
specialties.
Dick and Audrey Naylor started
their winery business slowly,
planting just an acre and a quarter
to vineyards back in 1975, adding
yearly to attain the present 12
acres. Plans are for continued slow
growth, with up to no more than 25
total acres of the trellised, wire
supported vines for' wine
production, table grape sales, and
pick-your-owns.
“This is one of the finest grape
growing areas in the world,”
asserts Naylor. “It has everything
going for it: good Chester soils,
fine climate, dry weather at
harvest and metropolitan areas
nearby for markets.”
Baby vines barely reach to the
bottom trellis wire before they’re
two years old, at which time the
vinters tie the fledgling tendrils to
the supports. At three eyars, a
