Ora_Tce <br />County on January 22 at 7:OO~m. C&D wastes i_^_clude those waste <br />materials resulting from construction of residential a_nd <br />commercial st=.:ctures, remodeling wastes, and wastes created by <br />the de_*nolition of structu_es in Orange County. The reason for <br />this foru.*t is that the existing C&D waste disposal area, now <br />located at the Eubanks Road landfill, will be full in about 2 1/2 <br />years . Pla.^_s must be made to ma*~age the material in the future . <br />This forum presents an opportunity to comment on five future C&D <br />management options and other possible =egulations to reduce CAD <br />before it gets to the Ia*~dfill. Regulations could include <br />require_*ne_*:ts for separatir_g recyclable construction wastes at the <br />job site, lower tipping fees for sepa_ated materials a.*~d higher <br />fees for mixed .materials. <br />Four of the =ive options would requir. the acquisition of :ar_d <br />adjacent to the present landfill, in aa;ounts ra_rging from five to <br />twenty-five acres, and may therefore generate opposition. Lanc. <br />costs are included in estimated costs provided below. <br />T~^.e five optio:.s include: <br />1. Vo longer ma*±aae C&,0 wasr_ss. Once the Current disDCSal azea is <br />full, to lccal governments would relinquish respor~ibility to <br />mar_age these materials.
