EXHIBIT 4 TRANSFER STATION SITING PROCESS PUBLIC INFORMATION SESSIONS Transfer station siting public information sessions are tentatively scheduled-pending BOCC approval-for Thursday, April 3, 2008 at 7:00 to 10:00 p.m. in the F Gordon Battle Courtroom 106 E. Margaret Lane, in Hillsborough and on Thursday, April 10, 2008 at 7:00 to 10:00 p.m. in the Southern Human Services Center 2501 Homestead Rd., in Chapel Hill. The public information sessions will include a presentation describing the function and operation of a solid waste transfer station. The transfer station siting process will also be discussed in detail focusing on the purpose and use of technical and community-specific criteria and weighting factors in the evaluation and final selection of a recommended site. • Technical Criteria include specific engineering, operation, and transportation parameters that should be considered to assure that sites are feasible from a technical design, environmental, and economic prospective. o Community-Specific Criteria consider the impacts that the facility will have on the surrounding community. The primary objective of these public information sessions will be for Olver, Inc. to provide the public at large with information regarding the operation of a transfer station; to provide the public at large with information regarding the site selection process; and to receive broad public input and comment on the preliminary set of site selection criteria and weighting factors, so that the needs and concerns of the residents of Orange County can be integrated into the final decision-making process. These public information sessions are being conducted by Olver, Inc. on behalf of the BOCC. A summary of session proceedings will be provided to the BOCC and posted to the website being maintained by Olver, Inc. as part of the Orange County Transfer Station siting project.
