Proposed Community Benefits - Status Report <br />#6 Policy Governing Construction at Landfill <br />Qeadr tp tio n £ <br />- - a _� <br />The Landfill Owners Group will adopt a policy governing construction at the <br />Orange Regional Landfill. This policy will govern issues affecting neighboring <br />residents, including nighttime construction, blasting and noise. The policy will <br />identify ways to mitigate or eliminate adverse effects on landfill neighbors, and <br />will require all neighbors (those living in the areas to be provided with water and <br />sewer service) tQ be notified one week in advance of the start of construction. <br />Such notification shall include the estimated duration of construction, and a <br />description of any special construction activities which may impact neighbors. <br />Notification will, at a minimum, include posting of signs on the four roadway <br />entrances into these neighborhoods (the north end of Millhouse Road, both ends <br />of Eubanks Road, and the south end of Rogers Road). <br />Under ordinary circumstances, the LOG and its contractors will avoid, <br />construction between the hours of 11:00 pm and 6:00 am, and will provide for <br />immediate notification of neighbors when emergency circumstances dictate that <br />construction activities are unavoidable during these hours. The LOG will ensure <br />that any contractors carrying out construction at the landfill follow the Orange <br />County noise ordinance. <br />• consensus reached at Assembly of Governments (AOG) meeting; <br />• notification policy implemented November, 1997 <br />• signs being prepared, but not yet erected at the time that this report was <br />being prepared. <br />BaMComment IActioits, <br />8 2/6/98 <br />
