Such a facility could be built at the Orange Regional Landfill. It has been considered but at this-~ time, the Owners Group has decided to proceed with only the salvage and planning programs. E. Options for C&D management In January 199'7, the Solid Waste Department staff prepared options for management of C&D waste, those are shown below in Table 3-4. The Owners Group expressed some interest in the processing facility but was interested primarily in private ownership and operation of such a facility, if it were to be considered at all in the future. No commitment has been made at this time since priority has been assigned to the mixed solid waste stream. 3-12
