,~ - page 2 - Discussion C&D waste disposal differs from MSW waste disposal in several ways: Generally less potential for groundwater contamination, therefore no requirement for a liner be used or leachate collection • Lack of the odors generally associated with MSW facilities • Less hauling of soil due to less frequent covering operations (once/weekly versus daily for MSW) resulting in less noise of equipment operating and less dust • No food waste to attract animals to scavenge. • Higher proportion of small vehicles (pickup trucks) • Cannot accept MSW wastes • No restrictions on minimum distance from airport C&D waste disposal facilities are also similar to MSW facilities in several ways: • .Generate traffic • Similaz siting regulatory guidelines • Require scheduled groundwater monitoring • Generally perceived as an undesirable land use • A MSW landfill can also accept C&D wastes Current C&D Site Options The following three sites aze currently under consideration. We also provide some key points for each: Old NC 86, located along the east side of Old Highway 86, north and west of Duke University property (attachment 3) Key Points - Most costly option to purchase. Use of eminent domain probably would reduce cost. . - Fewest neighbors impacted. - Lazge buffer areas. - Could not be physically integrated with remainder of LOG facilities.- - Would shift to a new neighborhood the responsibility of hosting the facility. A northern expansion of the existing C&D facility onto the adjacent Blackwood land and two other properties (attachment 4) Key Points - Least amount of development and operational cost because it is adjacent to the existing C&D landfill and could be easily integrated into existing operations. - Would be necessary to use eminent domain to acquire property. A 60 acre portion of the publicly owned Greene tract, located adjacent. to the southeast corner of the South Eubanks Road landfill (attachment 5) This option represents a modification from the original entire Greene tract option based upon a proposal made by Orange County that only a portion (60 acres) be used.
