<br />County Response: A transfer station on landfill property north of Eubanks Road <br />will dislocate the solid waste convenience center (SWCC), the fenced equipment storage <br />area, and the diesel fuel tank. The planned approach for these dislocated operations will <br />be as follows: <br />• SWCC - proposed to be moved across Eubanks Road near the existing hazardous <br />household waste facility; to be improved by placing on hard asphalt/concrete <br />surface, utilizing a new entrance aligned with an existing landfill perimeter road, <br />eliminating open top front loading dumpsters and employing enclosed waste <br />compactors, and expanding the use of higher capacity roll-off containers. <br />• Equipment storage area- to be relocated adjacent to the existing maintenance <br />building where the recycling collection trucks and crew building are now located; <br />the recycling trucks and crew building are to be moved adjacent to the new solid <br />waste operations center. <br />• Diesel fuel tank - to be relocated to adjacent to the maintenance building. <br />The C&D landfill located on the north side of Eubanks Road will continue until capacity <br />is reached, in about 20 years. There is no hazardous waste landfill on Eubanks Road; <br />only our hazardous household collection facility were materials are received, <br />containerized, and hauled to out-of-county treatment and processing facilities. <br />Additional Alternatives: Given severe space limitations on the north side of <br />Eubanks Road, few other alternatives are available to receive the relocated operations. It <br />would be possible to explore other available property in the general Eubanks <br />Road/Millhouse Road area as alternate locations for the dislocated operations. <br />There is no practical alternative to continuing operation of the recently opened <br />construction and demolition (C&D) landfill. <br />Traffic Control <br />Community Questions/Concerns: <br />• speed limit on Rogers and Eubanks Road <br />• easier ID of speeding government collection vehicles by placing a big number on <br />the sides of the trucks, two feet high, so that it is easily seen and reported <br />• Eubanks Road needs to be 3 lanes <br />• will driveway surface in and out of new facility be paved <br />• is a right turn lane into the new facility being considered <br />• lack of improvements to Eubanks Road caused by the new developments <br />• interested in speed bumps on Rogers Road <br />• ban trucks traveling to transfer station from using Rogers Road <br />• initially 12-15 additional roundtrips per day impact; how many in 5 years <br />• consider sidewalks on Rogers Road <br />• too much traffic with recent development without bringing in more traffic <br />County Response: Speed limits, lane expansions and speed bumps on roads <br />adjacent to the Eubanks Road landfill are not under the authority of Orange County. <br />2
