3 being considered for a future landfill to serve the county and municipalities, the Landfill Owners Group, Orange County Public Works, and the Towns of Chapel Hill and Carrboro were notified of the public hearing. According to the Chapel Hill Solid Waste Administra- tor, potential landfill sites are currently undergoing geologic testing. The test results should be reported by the consulting engineers in February or March. The Planning Staff was also advised that a 300-foot mini- mum buffer would be provided between the landfill and adjacent properties. The Town of Hillsborough also responded with a comment about its Thoroughfare Plan for the area around Maple Hill. A realignment of Baldwin Road (SR 1554 ) west of the site is proposed, but is not considered a priority transportation improvement. If a property is listed on the National Register, it is not completely protected from construction project where state or federal funds are used. For example, if state or federal funds are used to establish a landfill on the property adjacent to Maple Hill, the project would be reviewed by the State Historic Preservation Office in accordance with Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act or the North Carolina General Statutes 121-12a. The Board of Commissioners and the Historic Preservation Commission must separately notify the State and the property owners of their recommendations by January 12, 1994 . The nomination will be presented to the North Carolina National Register Advisory Committee on January 13, 1994. The Committee's recommendation will then be forwarded to the National Register office. RECOOMNDATION: The Administration recommends approval of the nomination of Maple Hill to the National Register of Historic Places, and that the Chair be authorized to sign the Local Governing Board comment form to be forwarded to the State Historic Preservation Office.
