21 <br />through tipping ~ee~. <br />A revie~r of the replaceas~nt schedule shows that three major pieces <br />of landfill equipment, together valued in excess of i million <br />doSlars are being phased-out tCocnpactor, Doaer, sad Scraper/Pan). <br />The rstaaining equipment are assigned to C&D disposal, mulch/yard <br />waste, dust control, or White goods and scrip tiro atianageyaeat. The <br />scraper/pan and dozer that are not being replaced will bt utilizQd <br />to perfoz~a closure activities on the site for about a year after <br />the site reaches capacity. <br />5. At what point was the interim C&D site oa Bubaaks Road abandoned <br />in favor o! a large northern site? <br />A CaD Taak Force was created bar the Landfill. Owners Group sad <br />charged to identify a site, obtain art option ozt the property and, <br />orue it ie deemed permittable by the state, to recomeaead to the <br />three governing bodies that it be purchased b'Y the landfill Fund. <br />The Task Force has identified a site in aorthezn Orange County . <br />2t has facilitated an option on the property- and is currently <br />having the site evaluated for its riuitab3lity as a C&D disposal <br />facility. In choosing to pursue this site, the Task Force <br />determined that the larger rsorthera situ would provicue ample C34D <br />capacity in a reasonable timeframe without the need for an interim <br />site. <br />There may be some juptificatioa for reconsidering this <br />recoaerendation. Hy our estimation, d~iopcaent of Site #8 IGuesa <br />Raad~ to open is the syriag of 1999, iaclucling additional •quipawnt <br />and personnel would coat approximately $1.3eo.ooo for FY 1999/00. <br />our estimate for developing au iateriaa sitQ on Eubanks eoad, Mith <br />a life of about 21 years is $~jQ,~QQQ for FY 1999/00. This estimate <br />assu~cres that Duke University Would assess either no or a very low <br />gee for granting us buffer easement on their property. This <br />estimate also aasum+es that the Ding groperty will be scqus.red by <br />eminent domain. <br />Aa additional 11 years of CS~D landfill capacity could bQ gained by <br />acquiring Site 8 sad obtaining the necessary SUP, sad <br />simultaneously acquiring and developing the SubaakS Road iaterittt <br />site to receive waste beginning next year. The estimated cost of <br />both developing th! interim site and acquiring Site 8 is S~2e_ooo. <br />The advantage of pursuing the interioa site in conjunction with <br />acquiring Site #8 is abtai~ting an additional ii years of capacity <br />at a Iawer initial cost tS920,000 vs. ;1,3ov,00o) thaw only <br />developing Sita #8. This optioA coaceptually~a~eaas that vn would <br />be laadbanking Site #8. Another advantage is that hauler <br />convenience Mould be maintained for another li years. 91e estimate <br />that approximately 70 minutes would be added to the haul time for <br />the users of the Ci~D facility. A third advantage ie that <br />development costs for Site )F8 would be incurred 9-10 years irval <br />now. <br />
