2 <br />The current and proposed high level radioactive waste storage activity and <br />planning have proceeded with minimal public knowledge and input. <br />Various local environmentally activist individuals and groups, the Chapel <br />Hill Town Board, the Chatham County BOCC and the Orange County <br />Commission for the Environment have expressed concern about these <br />practices and plans and the lack of public input into the regulatory approval <br />process. Some of these individuals and groups have requested that the <br />BOCC intervene in the approval process by formally advocating the creation <br />of a forum for public comment on plans to expand waste storage capacity. <br />A draft resolution has been prepared for BOCC review, discussion, revision <br />and adoption if the Board so chooses. <br />RECOMMENDATION: As the Board decides. <br />
