15 The State Interagency Task Force, a group of State staff representing several agencies with interest in the permitting of the landfill would also visit the sites with the consultants, and would provide their assessment of the site. The Search Committee would evaluate the technical information and the information from the Interagency Task Force, and would select a site or sites based upon that information and other information they have received to recommend to the Landfill Owners' Group. The evaluation of sites, reporting and decision - making by the Search Committee could take about 6 months. Upon receipt of the recommendation from the Search Committee, the Landfill Owners' Group would make its own determination of the suitability of the site. The Owners' Group would then recommend a site to the governing bodies for approval. Upon approval by the governing bodies, the process of acquisition and permitting would begin. It is difficult to predict how long the deliberations of the Owners' Group and governing bodies may take. 13. what steps will Joyce Engineering take to ensure that the least ossible damacte is done to private lands during testin Please see response to ,#1 under the Carrboro list, above, page 4. Response by Joyce Engineering: Joyce Engineering and its subconsultant, Bain, Palmer & Associates, Inc., will propose locations on paper based on a conceptual landfill layout and site features. Once they are allowed access to the site, the locations will be field verified or adjusted based on site observations. The engineers have some discretion regarding the required locations and will, whenever possible, locate borings in areas where minimal clearing is required. The engineers will work with landowners to identify the routes resulting in the least land disturbance, which will still allow access to the required locations. Clearing activities will be avoided if at all possible, and will consist of the least damaging feasible method. Boreholes and test pit excavations will be backfilled and compacted as much as practicable upon completion of site activities and excess soil spread neatly prior to leaving the site. The landowners will be welcome to observe the crews during work on their property.
