-6- DRAFT Q76 <br /> looking for alternatives to a landfill for disposal of solid <br /> waste. <br /> Council Member Pasquini asked to see the guidelines for the <br /> requests for proposals saying he was unsure of the scope of the <br /> study. <br /> Council Member Andresen asked to see a copy of the study that <br /> Durham had recently had conducted. <br /> Council Member Godschalk asked for clarification of the waste-to- <br /> energy alternative suggested in the memorandum.

He said that since the <br /> approval had not as yet been granted, stipulation #4 should be <br /> amended to qualify that this stipulation would be required if <br /> NCDOT approval could be secured. <br /> Council Member Preston asked if this meant approval from NCDOT <br /> might not be granted. Mr. Waldon replied yes. He said NCDOT had <br /> some reservations on the site distance. Mr. Waldon commented <br /> that what the staff would like is an additional lane so that cars <br />
