The County will assume solid waste management responsibility as <br /> follows: <br /> Operate the System.

The County will provide <br /> System Management Facilities suitable for the disposition of Solid <br /> Waste by the County, the Towns and the persons and organizations <br /> within their jurisdictions. The existing landfill, as well as any <br /> successor System Management Facility, will be designated to accept <br /> solid waste generated exclusively by residents, businesses and <br /> institutions located in Orange County and that portion of Chapel Hill <br /> located within Durham County, North Carolina. <br /> Determine policy.

The Parties recognize that all <br /> components of compensation to System Employees after the transfer will <br /> be subject to changes in salaries and benefits in the same fashion as <br />
