We believe that the cutting edge of the relevant technologies will always be changing and <br /> that there always will be new information to consider. However, we also believe that all <br /> of the available, proven, practical,, and economic measures for solid waste management <br /> have received- fair consideration during the past eight years. In our opinion, the best <br /> course now is to move ahead with the process of establishing a solid waste management <br /> facility to meet the needs of all Orange County residents. <br /> Ncxt St= <br /> The issues- outlined by the proposed Interlocal Agreement Concerning Solid Waste <br /> Management Matters still await consideration by the Council and the governing boards of <br /> Carrboro, F@Isborough and Orange County. We recommend that these issues be a main <br /> focus of the October 224 .meeting,. along with consideration of proposed benefits for <br /> neighbors of the present landfill. <br /> Key questions for consideration include: <br /> 1. Should the governments move ahead toward adoption of the Inzeriocal.Agreement? If <br /> so, can-the present schedule assuming adoption by December. 'I be maintained? <br /> 2. .Should Site #17 be eliminated from consideration as the site for a new solid waste <br /> management facility? If so, what.process should be followed to select a new site? A <br /> new-site.will be needed by 2045; engineering, development and legal process may take <br /> more than seven years for completion. <br /> We will do our best to provide whatever additional information or evaluation may be <br /> desired by the Council as it undertakes resolution of these important conmiunity issues. <br /> Attachments <br /> 1.
