the conceptual CDLF discussed herein. <br />After the existing South Eubanks Road Landfill reaches capacity, a municipal solid waste <br />transfer facility can be constructed on the Neville tract, alone or in conjunction with a <br />materials recovery facility. A MRF can be constructed along with the transfer facility or <br />while the existing landfill is operating. If a transfer facility is constructed, we have assumed <br />that a CDLF will also be needed to handle some of the materials that are undesirable for <br />transfer. <br />After the existing South Eubanks Road Landfill reaches capacity, a municipal solid waste <br />landfill could be constructed alone or in conjunction with a CDLF and/or a MRF. Using a <br />67 -acre landfill footprint on the Greene tract, an imposed maximum landfill elevation of 610 <br />feet (MSL), and the MSW waste stream provided by the Chapel Hill Department of Solid <br />Waste Management, a life of approximately 29 years is projected for a MSWLF, with C &D <br />waste excluded from the disposal area. If C &D is co- disposed with MSW, the projected life <br />decreases to approximately 22 years. <br />If disposal of C &D and MSW is proposed for the Greene tract, two separate but adjacent <br />areas could be constructed to take advantage of the different requirements for each waste <br />stream. We have envisioned a lined MSW landfill adjacent to an unlined C &D landfill. <br />Disposal of C &D would begin in July 1999, while disposal of MSW would begin in the year <br />2006. The two portions of the contiguous landfill would reach capacity in approximately <br />2027, resulting in lives of approximately 29 and 22 years for the CDLF and MSWLF, <br />respectively. <br />Study of Solid Waste Management Options JOYCE ENGINEERING, INC. <br />for the Greene and Neville Tracts February 4, 1998 <br />Orange County, North Carolina 15 <br />
