COVER SHEET <br />Date: February 2, 2009 <br />Title of Activity: Orange County, NC Solid Waste Transfer Station <br />Submitted By: Board of County Commissioners <br />Orange County, North Carolina <br />200 South Cameron Street <br />Post Office Box 8181 <br />Hillsborough, North Carolina 27278 <br />Responsible State: Orange County Planning Department <br />Agency and Contact: Robert Davis <br />306 -F Revere Road <br />Hillsborough, North Carolina 27278 <br />Type of Document: Environmental Assessment <br />Applicable Rule: Chapter 40 Orange County Environmental Impact Ordinance <br />Background: In the case of the proposed Orange County waste transfer station, the <br />DENR's Division of Water Quality and Division of Waste Management have <br />indicated that an EA and SEPA approval will not be required because the <br />proposed transfer station operation (250 tpd) is less than 350 tpd required <br />for such analyses. SEPA coordinators have also confirmed that an EA would <br />not be required in this particular case. Despite the fact that an EA is not <br />required by state regulations, it is required by the Orange County <br />Environmental Impact Ordinance and was completed as part of the due <br />diligence for this siting. <br />1• <br />The attached Environmental Assessment (EA) document reviews the <br />environmental impacts of the construction and operation of a 250 ton per <br />day solid waste transfer station located in the western part of Orange <br />County, North Carolina, off of NC Highway 54. The EA contains a project <br />description, review of the existing environment, the need for and <br />alternatives to the project, environmental impacts associated with the <br />project and mitigation measures for those impacts. <br />Environmental Assessment <br />Site 056 <br />
