Page 4.14 Environmental Justice Complete and current information an the siting process is not available to the public. Prange County's planning and engineering consultant,, OIver Inc., created a transfer station website to inform the public during the suing process. This environmental assessment of Site 056 was received by the NC DOA on February 20, 2009, and as of a week before the closing date of March ZQ, 2009 it was not posted on the county's transfer station website. Other than posting the environmental assessment (after I notified county Solid Waste staff Nast week), it appears that the website has not, been updated since December 2008. Missing are dates of upcoming county commissioners" meetings with scheduled presentations on the transfer station, as well as several months of approved minutes from county commissioners' meetings. The consultant's calculations in applying criteria have not been posted or made public, and representatives of Olver Inc. did not return repeated calls from a reporter inquiring about the site selection process.' The seller's price and restrictive berms and conditions of safe were not made availably by county staff to county commissioners or the public prior to the county's decision to pursue Site 055 in December 200$. Leiters from the serer to county stiff referenced terms and conditions of environmental significance, including: limiting road access to Teer Road rather than NC 54, which would send trucks on a narrow country road that runs along Cane Creek Reservoir,, and would necessitate an easement to the landlocked 1.4,E acres through 41tVASA property; and immediate rezoning of seller's adjacent road franc 8 -acre property from agricultural /residential to commercial zoning.
