SECTIOIYN 1 <br />y <br />MEMORANDUM <br />TO: Orange County Boazd of Commissioners <br />FROM: John Link, County Manager <br />DATE: January 15, 1998 <br />RE: Solid Waste Disposal Issues <br />With the recent developments regazding Site OC-17 as the preferred candidate site for anew landfill in Orange <br />County, it has become increasingly important that the member governments of the Landfill Owners Group make <br />a number of decisions in the near future concerning future solid waste disposal methods. Disposal capacity for <br />construction and demolition (C & D) material is diminishing rapidly. Planning and regulatory review and <br />permitting of any future landfill requires many yeazs of work. Accordingly, staff and I have collaborated to <br />produce brief summaries of the most important disposal related decisions facing each governing board. It <br />would be helpful for the LOG to discuss these issues at a future meeting and to provide as much feedback as <br />possible to County, municipal, and LOG staff so that each local government can decide on what collective or <br />individual steps each needs to take to address the need for future solid waste disposal capabilities. <br />Attachments I, II, and III (with referenced materials previously distributed to governing boards and/or the LOG) <br />summarize the decisions needed on C & D disposal, mixed solid waste disposal (in-county vs. out-of-county), <br />and development of a materials recovery facility (MRF). Please let me know how the staff and I can support <br />you as you work with the LOG and other jurisdictions on these issues in the coming weeks. <br />
