Memorandum To: Mr. Barry,Jacobs, Chair Board of County Commissioners, Orange County CC: Mayor Foy, Chapel Hill Mayor Stevens, Hillsborough Mayor Chilton, Carrboro From: Dr. .Jan F. Sassaman, Chair Orange County Solid Waste Advisory Board Subject: Resolution to Recommend the Landfill Property Located North of Eubanks Road as the Future Site of the Orange County Transfer Station Date: March 2, 2006 In response to the request of the Board of County Commissioners, the Solid Waste Advisory Board (SWAB) has considered options for location of the future Waste Transfer Station on landfill property located north of Eubanks Road provided by Olver Incorporated, consultants to the Solid Waste Management Department. The present landfill property identified by Olver is physically amenable as a location of the transfer station, and is also ideally situated from an operational standpoint in terns of local land use, transportation issues of proximity to sources of waste and to Interstate roadways, and existing use of the property. Therefore, the attached resolution recommends, as a result of a unanimous vote of the SWAB, that the landfill property located north of Eubanks Road be used as the future site of the Orange County Transfer Station. Furthermore, since the Board of County Commissioners has affinned that there will be no future county -owned municipal solid waste landfill in the Orange County, the SWAB recommends that the Board of County Commissioners proceed expeditiously to design, permit and construct the Transfer Station so as to maximize retention of existing MSW landfill capacity for a disposal contingency. Please let me know if you have any further questions. Attachment 1 — SWAB Resolution Attachment 2 — Figure 1 — Proposed Transfer Station and Convenience Center Layout, Olver Incorporated
