The proposed modification will add an area to be used for recycling glass and metal cans. The expansion includes: a. A 7,500 square foot concrete slab, b. Two open sheds (600 square feet and 900 square feet), and c. 44,000 square feet of additional vehicular surface. Currently access to the site is provided through the existing landfill. There is no direct access to Eubanks Road. A 100 -foot buffer is provided around the perimeter of the site, except along the eastern border, next to the existing landfill. A condition of approval was added to the original Special Use Permit to insure that all vegetation within the 100 foot buffer will remain undisturbed. The hours of operation of the site are from 7:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Monday through Friday, and 8:30 a.m. to 12:00 noon on Saturday. Gayle Wilson, Director of Solid Waste Management for Chapel Hill, has indicated the proposed additional area is needed for recyclables at the landfill and would not involve any landfilling activity. The existing landfill will be used through the year 2004 or 2005 and will be monitored for 30 years afterwards. The recycling facility may be utilized during this 30 year period.
