BACKGROUND: The Orange County Landfill is administered by the Town of Chapel Hill under provisions of the 1972 Landfill Agreement between Orange County and the Towns of Chapel Hill and Carrboro. The agreement requires that all three parties must approve changes to the tipping fee schedule. The attached spreadsheets detail the budget recommended by the LOG. The major increase in expenditures over 1993-94 is attributable to more than $3 million for construction of the next section of the present landfill. The funds for this expansion have already been accumulated as reserves. The Landfill Owners' Group has recommended to the governing bodies of the three jurisdictions that 1994-95 tipping fees be established as follows: Current Recommended Waste Category Fee Fee Increase Mixed solid waste $25/ton $26/ton $1/ton Ash $15/ton $16/ton $1/ton Clean wood waste $3/ton $5/ton $2/ton The proposed tipping fee changes would not result in an increase to the County' s 1994-95 landfill fee budget, which is actually lower next year due to savings achieved in 1993-94 by the move to staffed solid waste sites.
