092 Orange and northern Chatham County. Mixed waste may be hauled to adjoining Alamance or Chatham Counties where there are no tipping fees. There will probably be some additional small loss due to illegal dumping. Since this is most likely to be from household and small haulers using pick ups and trailers, we have decided to keep these fees lower as well as to strictly enforce illegal dumping regulations. We have requested that Orange County enforce these regulations. We incur additional expenses and problems in arranging for asbestos disposal. Our new fee structure would reflect the difficulty and expense associated with handling this special waste. Requiring the University to pay a premium for the additional costs we will incur due to the anticipated state requirement for special handling of the power plant ash would allow us to recover the cost of the required ITC as well as additional staffing and excavation necessary. Key Objectives in 1988-89 • The coming year will be a watershed year for solid waste managment in this region. The proposed significant rise in the tipping fee is a sign of things to come. The key objectives for the solid waste management program are as follows: Properly manage and dispose of an estimated 90,000 to 112,000 tons of refuse and bulk materials in compliance with State standards; Determine and implement the optimal tipping fee structure for waste disposal at the Orange Regional Landfill; Finalize plans and acquire permits for continued operation of the present landfill, including the south side of Eubanks Road; - Construct required roads and erosion control projects on the north side; - Finalize procedures and-implement plan for-ash disposal and asbestos disposal; Expand existing drop-off recycling program and • implement pilot residential curbside collection program; and - Conduct effective public discourse on the results of the HDR Regional solid waste management study and develop a plan for future waste management efforts.
