1 <br /> 13 <br /> "Issues Needing Significant Discussion" <br /> 12 . Begin immediately stockpiling any possible sources of dirt <br /> now. Can any available dirt from commercial and/or <br /> residential construction be stockpiled? Could the Johnson <br /> tract (recently logged) be used to stockpile dirt? <br /> 13 . Is there a 55-acre "land locked" tract behind UPS and the <br /> park-and-ride lot that could be used for obtaining dirt? <br /> 14 . Can a survey and description of the oak trees be conducted and <br /> published so that everyone will know what's being lost (e.g. , <br /> age of oaks, plans to replant and length of time to grow) ? In <br /> a broader sense, could a complete assessment of what is <br /> actually going to be destroyed be prepared (history of land, <br /> streams, trees, topography, and any other nontangible <br /> variables) and published? <br /> 15 . A written report from an environmental impact study on the <br /> removal of soil from Neville and Greene tracts. <br /> 16 . Conduct complete environmental pre-measures of possible <br /> effects of dirt removal. Specifically, an independent <br /> analysis of current environmental conditions before any dirt <br /> is removed. Facts to assess include but are not limited to: <br /> - noise and vibration <br /> - dust <br /> - water run-off patterns and volume <br /> - well water quality <br /> - wildlife <br /> 17 . A periodic independent assessment of environmental factors <br /> (e.g. , yearly?) once the dirt removal process begins. <br /> 18 . A process to remedy any environmental damages) to neighboring <br /> properties. A compensation and restoration process be <br /> developed in the event that damage occurs. <br /> 19 . The follo;.ing principles for selecting an area for obtaining <br /> soil within the Neville/Greene tracts will be used by the <br /> Landfill Owner's Group in developing the Special Use Permit <br /> (SUP) to be submitted to the Town of Chapel Hill: <br /> - Select area that minimizes the number of residences <br /> affected (noise, dust, aesthetics, etc. ) . <br /> - Select area that minimizes energy expenditure (haul <br /> distance) . <br /> 20. Non-monetary alternatives for mitigating potential impacts on <br /> property contiguous to the current landfill and Neville <br /> Properties will be considered by the LOG, including: <br />
