<br />-page 4 - <br />Conduct a full C&D landfill siting process (similar to unsuccessful one conducted for an <br />NISW site). <br />It is possible to implement a comprehensive county-wide C&D landfill site search process. Such a process <br />could be initiated within 30 days, however, from experience it is difficult to predict the duration. We had <br />initially estimated the 1990 site search to be completed in 18 months. <br />It could cost $100,000-$150,000 to have an engineering firm conduct the search. The LOG would be <br />heavily involved in establishment of screening and ranking criteria, and the review of information. <br />Alternatively, a citizens committee could be formed to lead the search; this would likely prolong the <br />process. Our present C&D facility will be full by early 2000. <br />Conclusion <br />None of the sites currently identified are without problems or drawbacks. We believe there are no sites in <br />Orange County that would be found to be without problems. Regardless of the process used to identify <br />sites, the final decision will adversely affect or be perceived to adversely affect someone. <br />We believe that it is imperative that a decision be made soon regarding future C&.D management for Oran <br />County.
