aty11V~ ~ is+~r~ <br />~ .. ~ <br />-`'`~ PUBLIC NOTIFICATION <br />`~`~~ ~~~4~~ <br />Eno Economic Development District May Be Considered <br />As Possible Site for County Transfer Station <br />The Orange County Board of Commissioners are considering two locations within <br />the Eno EDD as possible alternate locations for a new Orange County Solid Waste <br />Transfer Station should they decide to not locate the facility at the current Eubanks <br />Road landfill site. The current County Landfill on Eubanks Road is expected to <br />reach capacity in 2010 and given the county policy not to site a replacement landfill <br />in Orange County, a transfer station must be developed to receive and transport <br />county generated waste to an out of county waste disposal facility. <br />On Tuesday March 13 at 7:30pm the Orange County Board of Commissioners, at <br />their regular meeting at the New County Courthouse at 106 E. Margaret Lane in <br />Hillsborough, will consider development of the new transfer station on existing <br />landfill property on Eubanks Road and the two possible alternate sites in the Eno <br />Economic Development District. These alternate sites maybe further considered <br />should the current landfill site at Eubanks Road not be selected. <br />A final decision on either of the two Highway 70 alternate sites will not be made at <br />the March 13 meeting but continued interest by the Board in moving the facility <br />from the Eubanks Road location may result in direction to staff to conduct a more <br />detailed technical and economic assessment of one of these two alternate sites. for a <br />future decision. Should the Board of Commissioners express further interest in one <br />or both Eno EDD sites, a community forum will be conducted to provide ample <br />opportunity for input and dialogue with County Commission and staff prior to any <br />final decision on Eno EDD sites. Additionally, neighbors of the potential site will <br />also be invited to tour a modern, recently constructed solid waste transfer station. <br />Before any final transfer station site selection in the Eno EDD, the County will <br />conduct a more formal notification of area residents and businesses. <br />Anticipated closure of the Orange County Landfill in 2010 and the decision of the <br />Board of Orange County Commissioners to not site another Municipal Solid Waste <br />Landfill in Orange County make necessary the construction of a transfer station. <br />For further information contact Mr. Gayle Wilson, Director, Orange County Solid <br />Waste Management (919) 968-2885 or gwilson@co.orange.nc.us <br />
