4 specific facilities will be developed or continued and the list of possible facilities is not necessarily inclusive of all possible acriviries that could be pursued in the future. Additionally, we have assumed buffer sizes for each facility of a minimum, of 100' (excepting the administration building) as we believe it to be the most restrictive buffer currently required by Orange, County. This buffer is required for Flex Developments. Of course, where state mandated buffers exist, such as for a C&D landfill, we use those. Two operations listed under General Siting Considerations require comment. The existing HHW facility is assumed to remain in its current location. Past-closure maintenance and monitoring must take place at the Eubanks Road facility. Existing~Landfill Property Conditions (excepting the Neville and Greene tracts) Existing landfill property consists of the original landfill tract and Johnson tract. Drawing E illustrates existing conditions on these two properties. Drawing I illustrates solid waste property and surrounding. neighborhoods. Haw Could Facilities Be Located On E fisting Landfill Property (excepting the Neville and Greene tracts) Drawing F illustrates how Orange County might maximize solid waste operations without the utilization of adjacent property. Most operations are' clustered into the eastern portion of the properties due to landfilled areas being essentially unusable for facilities; the need to avoid streams and steep topography, and the need for safe and efficient internal traffic flow. This option does oat accommodate CBcD disposal or recycling, landclearing debris management, or potential future composting operations. If a MRF is to be developed in the future, it could supplant the recycling pad and administrative offices located on the Johnson tract of drawing F. An alternate location for administrative offices must then be found. New entrance and scale facilities would require the relocation of the convenience center to landfill property south of Eubanks Road. 'T'his option also includes the relocation of yard waste management operations to the southeastern portion of the property and also includes space for a possible new inert debris management area. How Could Facilities Be orated On Existin and Ad'acent Pro e (excepting Neville and Greene tracts) The inclusion of four adjacent vacant lots (totaling about 16.5 acres) in our facility plan analysis has-a very favorable impact on site master planning (see drawing G). The three lots north of Eubanks Road and west of the Johnson tract provide Orange County the option of including a new C&D disposal facility (when coupled with Duke University's willingness to provide a buffer easement). This adjacent property option also allows the County to include C&D recycling operations. The existing recycling processing area (non- C&D) is supplanted and it (or a future MRF) could be relocated to the southeastem portion of the property where we have tentatively identified inert debris and yard waste operations. However, inext,debris and yazd waste operations would then have no identifiable location . Administrative offices are shifted to flee fourth lot located south of Eubanks Road, west of existing property. Drawing H was prepazed by Resource Recycling Systems (RRSI), Orange County's Materials Recovery Facility consultant, in February 2000 and illustrates another master planning concept option. Staff believes this option to be problematic because the contemplated design would require awkwazd, and perhaps unsafe, traffic patterns within the site.
