Ann Starner asked that the County investigate whether there is an Indian burial <br />ground on the proposed site. She also asked that the County contact the State for information <br />about siting a C&D facility in a watershed. She understands that the law is more stringent in a <br />watershed. She is interested in receiving information on surveys done at other C&D sites <br />regarding the percentage of large trucks versus small pick-up type trucks. <br />R. L. Forrester said that his main concern was the fact that he read in the newspaper <br />that the citizens in this area were not supposed to know about this proposed C&D site, and this <br />really scared him. He noted that this property is right on the Durham County line and that any <br />runoff from this site would go into Durham County. <br />Chair Gordon said that she has spoken to two Durham County Commissioners and <br />the Orange County Commissioners will assure that this process is full and open. <br />Elaine Terrucci stated that she is opposed to the project. <br />Richard and Alisa Nix stated that they are opposed to the project. <br />H.

She asked about the location of the other sites the County <br />Commissioners are investigating and if any of the other sites were located in the middle of the <br />County or in the northwest. <br />Steve Toler said that he and his wife are opposed to this proposal. He asked that <br />everyone stand who is opposed. <br />Ed Shaughnessy said that his children have grown up hiking on this piece of <br />property. He was astonished at the price listed in the option. He is a registered professional <br />engineer and he feels that the County will find this property to be environmentally impossible for <br />use as a C&D site. When that happens, he hopes the County Commissioners will consider that
