r .ti <br /> Since the University of North Carolina is the largest employer in the County and a large <br /> generator of solid waste, we have included tonnage information from their Office of <br /> Waste Reduction and Recycling on their activities to manage and reduce solid waste. <br /> Their recycling coordinator has expressed interest in the proposed materials recovery <br /> facility. However, some uncertainties are likely to arise regarding the University of North <br /> Carolina waste and recyclables due to the university not being under local government <br /> control <br /> Next steps for waste reduction in Orange County. <br /> The 1997-98 Orange Regional Landfill budget contains funds for two major initiatives <br /> towards solid waste reduction plan implementation. Funds have been earmarked for <br /> consulting services to investigate the best method for acquiring a materials recovery <br /> facility to process and market recyclable materials collected in Orange County. The <br /> materials recovery facility is a linchpin in future strategies to increase the amount of <br /> recycling since it would enable broader and more efficient collection of commingled <br /> recyclables from all economic and geographic sectors of Orange County. <br /> The second initiative is for reduction of construction and demolition waste through <br /> development of a program for salvaging reusable and recyclable materials at the landfill <br /> and a program under which each jurisdiction in the County would require a solid waste <br /> plan for all construction projects valued over$50,000. The proposed plan ordinances <br /> would be modeled on the existing Chapel Hill solid waste plan ordinance (Appendix 5), <br /> and would, at a minimum,require separation of reusable and recyclable materials. A plan <br /> enforcement compliance officer would review all plans'and inspect all sites for <br /> compliance in all jurisdictions. -' <br /> S. <br /> 111 <br />
