A <br /> committee of three members of the Chapel Hill Town Council met and <br /> developed, for discussion by the full Council, a set of solid waste <br /> goals for Chapel Hill based on the goals established by the State of <br /> North Carolina. <br /> The consensus of the members at the most recent LOG meeting (December <br /> 16, 1992) was that each local government should develop its own set of <br /> solid waste management goals. These would be brought to the LOG with <br /> the intent of working out a common set of goals for the LOG. The <br /> outcome would likely be a tiered approach with a set of goals agreed <br /> upon by all jurisdictions, and other sets of goals pertinent to . . <br /> specific jurisdictions. <br /> It is suggested that comments be solicited from the Orange County Solid <br /> Waste Committee as the County develops its set of solid waste <br /> management goals. <br /> RECOMMENDATION(S) : Receive as information. <br />
