- Direct hauling MSW from collection routes to a new transfer station on site#056 is a <br /> viable option and is less expensive than direct hauling to out-of-County transfer <br /> stations for all jurisdictions except for the Town of Hillsborough. <br /> - Based on the findings of the investigation of long-term waste management <br /> alternatives, it is not likely that a long-term alternative to landfilling can be developed <br /> before the breakeven point of building and operating an in-County transfer station <br /> option. <br /> - Developing a new County transfer station is the least costly option over a 20-year <br /> planning horizon. <br /> Commissioner Jacobs said that staff had indicated that they did not see any potential of <br /> using the City of Durham. <br /> Gayle Wilson said that he contacted Durham and the staff indicated that Orange County <br /> would not be given a preferential rate. Durham County is considering a facility at some point in <br /> the future. <br /> Commissioner Jacobs said that at the last meeting he suggested that the Manager and <br /> the elected officials should talk with Durham's Manager and elected officials. <br /> Laura Blackmon said that she had a brief conversation with the City Manager, who <br /> stated that Orange County should not expect special treatment. <br /> Commissioner Jacobs suggested that Orange County has money to bring to the table to <br /> talk to Durham before spending almost$5 million on a new transfer station. There are co- <br /> location options. He would like to actively engage the City of Durham. <br /> Gayle Wilson presented the report entitled, Preserving Capacity at Eubanks Landfill. <br /> At the April 21st meeting, the Board of County Commissioners requested additional <br /> information regarding extending or preserving landfill capacity. The following activities were <br /> conducted to determine the limitations, impacts, and benefits of preserving permitted landfill <br /> capacity over an extended period of time: <br /> - Reviewed N. C. General Statute and N. C. Administrative Code requirements <br /> applicable to the operation and closure of municipal solid waste landfills. <br /> - Identified the most appropriate ways to preserving capacity with the least amount of <br /> cost to the County. <br /> - Estimated the amount of capacity that may be preserved. <br /> - Estimated the financial impact of preserving such capacity. <br /> The process to preserve landfill capacity would entail implementation of a waste <br /> diversion strategy (i.e., direct haul of waste to existing out-of-County, private-sector <br /> transfer stations). For the purposes of this evaluation, it was assumed that: <br /> - The County would accept waste at the Eubanks Road Landfill from the Partners of <br /> the Interlocal Agreement (and continue to divert UNC's waste). <br /> - The remaining disposal capacity of the landfill is estimated to extend beyond June <br /> 30, 2012 given diversion of non-partner waste. <br /> - The transfer station will be operational by March 1, 2012 (site selection complete by <br /> September 1, 2009 with 30-month transfer station permitting and construction <br /> period). <br />
