18 ATTACM4ENT 2 POSSIBLE DISCUSSION POINTS REPORT ON LANDFILL SEARCH PROCESS *- Why are the sizes of some of the potential landfill sites so large? • What is the desired life expectancy of the next landfill? • What are the engineering considerations that affect how much land we will need for a landfill site? * Recognizing that detailed engineering estimates. cannot be made at this stage of the process, what is a reasonable range of acreage that we can expect to have to acquire for the next landfill? * How do the engineers determine exactly what land - disturbing activities must take place in the site evaluation process? * Describe each of the categories of land- disturbing activity that may be required and the potential impact on the land (e.g. the use and size of test pits). * Why is it necessary or desirable to conduct testing on four, three, or two sites at.this point, rather than testing one at a time? * What screening process was used originally to identify candidate areas for the next landfill, and what are some examples of attributes that would have excluded an area from further consideration? * What would be the advantages and disadvantages of seeking and examining additional potential landfill sites at this point in the process? * Do delays in the landfill selection process create any complications with the LOG'S contractual arrangements with Joyce Engineering? * What experience does Joyce Engineering have in operating landfills elsewhere in the country? How many do they operate? Is there any, consideration being given to, contracting with Joyce to operate the next Orange County Landfill? * What procedural steps remain in the landfill selection process, and how quickly might they be completed, barring further unforeseen elements? * what steps will Joyce Engineering take to ensure that the least possible damage is done to private lands during testing?
