12 U2b <br /> The teak force is now preparing the outline of a plan <br /> that it hopes will help local planners identify alternative <br /> landfill sites (Appendix F) . The plan suggests that local <br /> planners consider all pertinent data possible in identifying <br /> possible sites, and that the selection process allow as many <br /> county residents as possible to participate in determining <br /> which criteria are most important in landfill site <br /> selection. <br /> Closing Comments <br /> In reevaluating some of their basic assumptions about <br /> waste management, local officials have taken the first steps <br /> toward ensuring that Orange County will not face the crises <br /> in solid waste management now burdening other counties. <br /> Problems are being faced, creative solutions are being <br /> sought, and for the first time, it looks as if the idea of <br /> recycling will be backed with substantial material <br /> resources, a commitment to expansion in the future and the <br /> possibility of bi-county cooperation. The considerable <br /> number of years left in the Eubanks landfill should allow us' <br /> time to identify suitable future sites and to study <br /> alternative waste management technologies. All of this <br /> speaks to the future because our efforts thus far have been <br /> only small steps, and our grace period will quickly pass. <br />
