21 <br /> 1 policy that Orange County will not support ANY site for a potential WTS that would be located <br /> 2 anywhere within the Rural Buffer surrounding Chapel Hill/Carrboro. <br /> 3 <br /> 4 We and the homeowners we represent are firmly united in our opposition to the proposed <br /> 5 NC86/140 site, and together we are fully committed to take whatever action necessary, including <br /> 6 legal means, to protect the integrity of the Rural Buffer in order to preserve the intent, character <br /> 7 and beauty of this precious region for decades to come. <br /> 8 <br /> 9 We certainly appreciate that solving our County's future solid waste disposal needs is a difficult <br /> 10 and complex issue, and we are very willing to work together with our elected officials and other <br /> 11 stakeholders to identify more suitable, "21St-century" solutions that the entire community can <br /> 12 support. <br /> 13 <br /> 14 <br /> 15 Respectfully yours, <br /> 16 <br /> 17 Michael A.

In simplest terms, I do not support a waste transfer <br /> 42 station in the Rural Buffer. As an engineer, I would like to share some potentially nontraditional <br /> 43 thoughts on this subject with you. <br /> 44 <br /> 45 1. No professional industrial or process engineer would consider implementing an <br /> 46 "intermediate stage" process without knowing the final downstream or end state <br /> 47 processes for the future. A waste transfer station is an "intermediate stage" process. <br /> 48 <br />
