Early in 1992, the LOG staff prepared a <br />draft scope of work for the production of an integrated action plan for <br />solid waste management throughout Orange County. The LOG conducted a <br />public hearing on the subject in March 1992. LOG staff incorporated <br />comments received from the public into a revised draft of the scope of <br />work. The LOG approved the scope of work at its most recent meeting on <br />May 28, and asked that the proposal be reviewed and approved by each of <br />the governing bodies of LOG members. <br />The scope of work envisions a coordinated effort among the LOG and <br />staff, citizen solid waste committees, Duke University, and <br />the consulting firm of Malcolm- Pirnie, to produce Orange County - <br />specific recommendations to achieve our solid waste management <br />goals. The attached memorandum from Alan Rimer, LOG Chair, and the <br />draft proposal for the scope of work, outline in detail the process <br />planned for development of the action plan. Through exchange of <br />interim reports and participation in the other's activities, the <br />consultant will work closely with the Orange County Solid Waste <br />Committee to ensure unity of effort towards a practical, equitable, and <br />supportable plan for solid waste management in unincorporated Orange <br />County (and the rest of the County as well), in accordance with the <br />Committee's charge from the Board of Commissioners. <br />
