e s• c <br /> Regardless of the outcome of the landfill search process, all the local governments in the <br /> County are committed to significant waste reduction through implementation of the plan <br /> elements adopted to reach 45% and 61% reduction. <br /> ' We anticipate that our three year update will show significant progress. <br /> Overview of the Plan Report <br /> The attached comprehensive solid waste plan contains plans prepared by the Solid Waste <br /> Management Department of the Town of Chapel Hill (hereinafter Solid Waste <br /> Department) and the member governments of the Orange Regional Landfill Owners <br /> Group including the Towns of Carrboro, Chapel Hill and Hillsborough and Orange <br /> County. The governments designated the Solid Waste Department as the lead agency in <br /> plan preparation and submittal of the plan. (See Appendix 1) <br /> A separate report prepared by the University of North Carolina Office of Waste <br /> Reduction and Recycling is also included. While that report does not strictly follow the <br /> format of the local government reports it contains most of the required information on, <br /> tonnage managed. <br /> The Owners Group recommended that the four governments adopt solid waste reduction <br /> goals of 45% per capita by 2001 and 61%per capita reduction by 2006 when compared <br /> with a base year of 1991-92. (see Appendix 2). According to the State of North Carolina, <br /> waste per capita was reduced by 37% by the end of 1995-96 fiscal year when compared <br /> with the base year of 1991-92. <br /> All four governments participated in a county-wide integrated solid waste plan process <br /> that began in 1993 with development of a scope of work and culminated in 1997 with <br /> adoption of a framework of a plan for meeting the established solid waste reduction goals <br /> they adopted. (See Appendix 3) The integrated planning process addressed changes in <br /> waste prevention,collection and processing. Future plans for final disposal are not <br /> determined at this time but will be addressed in the body of the plan under item 5h. <br /> This report contains separate solid waste plans prepared by each of the four local <br /> governments and reviewed by the Solid Waste Department staff. The governmental <br /> reports cover primarily existing collection activities by each government and contain their <br /> full cost analyses for waste management. The Solid Waste Department wrote sections 1, <br /> 2,3,4,5 for all areas except refuse collection(5b) and that composting(5d) undertaken by <br /> each government. e.g. leaf mulching in Carrboro and brush collection in Hillsborough. <br /> The individual governments wrote section 6 and 7 and included literature they distribute <br /> to the public on solid waste.The Solid Waste Department wrote section 6a education in <br /> the community and the schools and section 6d for the Town of Chapel Hill. The Solid <br /> Waste Department also wrote section 7 for the landfill and recycling. <br /> Section 8 was written by the Solid Waste Department with assistance from the various <br /> governments. This section describes existing private activities as well as opportunities <br /> that were considered over the past decade by the governments and the Landfill Owners <br /> Group for privatization of services. <br /> H <br />
