At the request of the Orange County Manager we have evaluated other <br />properties adjacent to the existing landfill and as a result we <br />have developed one potential site option. This option (Drawing 4) <br />would utilize the western portion of the LOG owned Johnson <br />property, the three properties directly adjacent to the Johnson <br />property owned or optioned by Ms. Ding (about 14 acres), and a 200 <br />foot easement (for a required buffer) located on property owned by <br />Duke University (about 12 acres). <br />This site would have an estimated life of about 12 -13 years; a <br />period we would still consider temporary or interim, but would <br />provide substantial time in which to locate a more permanent <br />location. This site would assume that both Ms. Ding and Duke Univ. <br />would be willing to negotiate for the sale of the needed property. <br />Rey Points <br />- existing ground water monitoring system would provide <br />extensive additional monitoring capability* <br />- only one residence within proximity to site (about 600 /feet <br />across Eubanks Road) <br />- moderate cost for the total acreage necessary for <br />purchase, including minimal - development cost <br />- integrates well with our other solid waste management <br />activities on Eubanks Road <br />- relies on willingness of Ms. Ding and Duke Univ. to sell <br />property, or on willingness of governing bodies to utilize <br />eminent domain (eminent domain will be necessary.on single. <br />property optioned by Ms. Ding due to difficulty of locating <br />multiple heirs) <br />limited capacity of 12 -13 years <br />- would eliminate option of relocating yard waste management <br />area to this location in the event that a MRF is sited on <br />the existing yard waste area of the North Eubanks Road <br />facility; no other areas exist (except the Neville and <br />Greene tracts) for this activity <br />- does not provide space for expanded C&D recycling <br />operations <br />Note: The locations of new candidate sites CD -8, CD -12, CD -18, and <br />CD -21 are identified on Drawing 5. Our information on these <br />sites result from a visual characterization of the <br />properties; subsurface investigations have not been done to <br />determine the technical qualities of the sites. A21 four of <br />the sites would would appear to provide a minimum of 40 years <br />
