!$ - page 3 - Key Points - We believe that 60 acres, as outlined in the enclosed drawing, would provide suitable space for a C&D disposal facility. -Property is already owned by owners of the landfill. - Entrance would be from Eubanks Road through an easement on the western portion of the Neville tract. - The railroad easement. would provide additional buffer on the eastern side. The required 30' easement would separate this site from the Neville tract, however, the entire Neville tract could be considered essentially buffer. As drawn, about 500' would separate the site from the western property line. Other buffers are shown at the required 200' minimum. -Site is adjacent to existing facilities and could be fully integrated with other solid waste operations. - Highest number of residences impacted.

Decision Process Options We believe that there are three primary options for resolving the issue of future C&D management in Orange County. Other options may also possible. Select one of the current three site options (Blackwood expansion, Old NC 86, and Greene tract). The three options presented on page three above, represent 3 viable and diverse site options. We believe that sufficient technical information and input from the public has been presented in order to make an informed decision from among these choices. We believe that the Blackwood expansion and the Old NC 86 site would require use of eminent domain. - Conduct another county-wide site search for freely offered land for sale using original or new screening criteria. We conducted acounty-wide search this past spring at the direction of the LOG and identified 5 parcels which met our screening criteria. An on-site engineering evaluation of the five sites resulted in the elimination of two because of water or rock concerns. Over the period of LOG discussions, two more were sold. Only one site remains from that siting process -Old NC 86, originally estimated to be the most suitable among the five. Instituting another similar process could result >n additional sites being identified. It would cost approximately $20,000 and take a minimum of 90 days. Of course, there is no guarantee that a site more favorable that the one on Old NC 86 would be identified.
