These types of facilities should not be located in areas of the <br /> County prone to flooding due to the potential impact on surrounding property owners. Further, as the County <br /> already prohibits development, in general,within a floodplain as well as the storage of various chemicals there is <br /> no reason to allow for solid/hazardous waste disposal facilities,junk/salvage yards,and chemical storage facilities <br /> within the SFHA through any process. <br /> Orange County, North Carolina—Unified Development Ordinance Page 6-149 <br />
