16 <br /> Capital Investment Plan <br /> • Eno EDD-$120,000 (FY 16-17): Page 82 <br /> o Interlocal agreement with City of Durham <br /> o Durham will take over operations with no operating cost to the County <br /> o Gravity sewer in 100 acres in Northeast corner of the EDD <br /> o Potential to serve adjacent areas using private pump stations <br /> Eno EDD Sewer - map <br /> Commissioner Marcoplos referred to the Eno EDD, and asked if there is a timeline in <br /> place for future development in the northeast corner of the EDD. <br /> Craig Benedict said an analysis was completed a few years ago to determine what it <br /> would take to serve the entire 600-acre area with a centralized lift station, and the estimates <br /> were over $6 million. He said this plan is still valid, but too costly at this point. He said the <br /> focus is on the 100-acre area, which can use a gravity system into existing system in Durham. <br /> He said Durham has requested that the County wait to take action, until it has completed some <br /> capacity improvements. <br /> Commissioner Marcoplos clarified that it may be a few years before the 100-acre area <br /> is ready to accept development. <br /> Craig Benedict said it will be about 18 months. <br /> Commissioner Jacobs asked if staff could please distinguish between Durham City and <br /> Durham County when speaking about these entities. <br /> Craig Benedict said he is referring to Durham City when discussing the Eno EDD. <br /> Commissioner Jacobs said the Durham County Commissioners are eager to partner on <br /> the Eno EDD, but it does not appear to be in their purview. <br /> Chair Dorosin asked if once the 100-acre area has the gravity sewer system, then <br /> development could begin. <br /> Craig Benedict said yes. <br /> Travis Myren resumed the presentation: <br /> Capital Investment Plan <br /> • Solid Waste - $990,268: Page 88, 91, 94 <br /> o Combination of Solid Waste Funds ($297,314) and debt financing ($692,954) <br /> o Service truck replacement deferred from FY2016-17 <br /> o Eight stationary compactors for new Eubanks Road Waste and Recycling <br /> Center <br /> o Modernization of High Rock Waste & Recycling Center into a Neighborhood <br /> Center focusing on smaller bulk items and additional recycling services <br /> Chair Dorosin asked if the term "Neighborhood Center" could be clarified, as pertains to <br /> this project. <br /> Gayle Wilson said the BOCC approved a concept several years ago to change the five <br /> centers to a mix of district and neighborhood centers. He said the first district center was <br /> completed at Walnut Grove Church Road, and the Eubanks Road center is under construction. <br /> He said these two centers are large, full service operations. He said the other three centers <br /> are neighborhood centers with reduced services, and slightly reduced hours of operation. He <br /> said the High Rock Center would be the first neighborhood center to be redeveloped. <br /> Commissioner Jacobs asked if the length of the High Rock lease could be identified. <br />
