policy that Orange County will not support ANY site for a potential WTS that would be located <br />anywhere within the Rural Buffer surrounding Chapel Hill/Carrboro. <br />We and the homeowners we represent are firmly united in our opposition to the proposed <br />NC86/140 site, and together we are fully committed to take whatever action necessary, including <br />legal means, to protect the integrity of the Rural Buffer in order to preserve the intent, character <br />and beauty of this precious region for decades to come. <br />We certainly appreciate that solving our County's future solid waste disposal needs is a difficult <br />and complex issue, and we are very willing to work together with our elected officials and other <br />stakeholders to identify more suitable, "21St-century" solutions that the entire community can <br />support. <br />Respectfully yours, <br />Michael A. Recny <br />President, Creek Wood HOA (representing 64 properties) <br />VikramRao <br />President, Stoneridge POA (representing 230 properties) <br />W. L. Triplett <br />President, Lockridge HOA (representing 30 properties) <br />Ed Lowdermilk <br />President, Falls of New Hope HOA (representing 92 properties) <br />Bill O'Neil <br />Vice President, North Hills HOA (representing 20 properties) <br />Jack Olich <br />President of Old Field Drive HOA (representing 7 properties) <br />Mary Miller <br />President, Woodkirk HOA (representing 8 properties) <br />I am writing this letter to the Commissioners of Orange County, and also the elected leaders of <br />Chapel Hill, Carrboro and Hillsborough. In simplest terms, I do not support a waste transfer <br />station in the Rural Buffer. As an engineer, I would like to share some potentially nontraditional <br />thoughts on this subject with you. <br />1. No professional industrial or process engineer would consider implementing an <br />"intermediate stage" process without knowing the final downstream or end state <br />processes for the future. A waste transfer station is an "intermediate stage" process. <br />
