ENVIRONMENTAL AFFAIRS BOARD REPORT Bill Laws reported that in May, the EAB presented a report which outlined the needs which effect Orange County. Several of those items listed in the report have been completed while others are in the process of being finished. The Local Emergency Planning Committee has been appointed; the county appropriated $7, 000 in the 1987-88 budget for a comprehensive survey of natural resources in the County according to the guidelines of the North Carolina Natural Heritage program; the Orange County Planning Board is formulating alternative approaches for protecting and enhancing natural areas as identified in the survey into the Long Range Plan for the County; the Water Conservation Ordinance addressed the concerns for the management of the water of the Upper Eno River during drought conditions and the sediment and erosion control concern is being handled administratively with a report to the Board before January. Albert Kittrell requested that the EAB address the concern regarding the application of sludge and bring back a recommendation to the Board on April 1, 1988. Dave Moreau listed the items that need Board action: (1) The County Planning Department should be directed to identify areas of the County that are particularly sensitive to unplanned disposal of hazardous material. (2) The Commissioners should consider the adoption of an Ordinance requiring the posting of a performance bond of sufficient size to provide a reasonable guarantee that private wastewater package plants will continually satisfy their effluent limits. Would such an ordinance be legal and, if so, start the process for development of such an ordinance. (3) The Commissioners should direct the Health Department to conduct a sanitary survey of County watersheds in 1987 and repeat that survey at intervals not exceeding three years. (4) The County Commissioners should authorize the EAB to provide continuing oversight of the bi-county Solid Waste study and make recommendations, as appropriate, concerning the progress of the study and its findings.
