The resolution that the delegates would <br />adopt would probably not only oppose the siting facility there but also <br />oppose the landfill on the experimental agricultural station in Johnston <br />County. With regards to the disposal of sludge, Commissioner Hartwell <br />stated that although the County cannot adopt an ordinance the Board of <br />Health could make rules for such disposal. He feels the County should <br />enter into an agreement with DEM and police such activity. He is <br />working on a document outlining the necessary process which he plans to <br />distribute in the next few days. <br />Commissioner Hartwell asked that his replacement on the Triangle <br />J Board be a highly assertive person. At the time that Lee County <br />withdrew from Triangle J, he had a promise from the delegate from Wake <br />County that there would be an intergovernmental agreement to insure that <br />the aging program in Orange County would continue.
