source of this waste (29.2 percent). The attached figures illustrate the origins of waste by <br />jurisdiction during this period, and the waste by its type and disposal. <br />Additional information is provided in the attached Table 1. <br />Key Issues and Waste Challenges Facing Orange County <br />Based on the .Solid Waste Plan, the current status of our waste management facilities, and <br />the nature of the interlocal agreement, the SWAB has identified four challenges/key <br />issues that. are in need of BOCC attention/consideration over the next year. <br />The County Solid Waste Management Plan <br />The existing Solid Waste Management Plan, as approved in June 2004, no longer <br />includes any reasonable means for reaching the often stated and achievable waste <br />reduction goal of 61 percent. The Town of Chapel Hill has indicated its preference for a <br />complete revisitation of the Plan, with emphasis on expanding materials collected <br />curbside in order to create optimum conditions for success of a Pay -As- You -Throw waste <br />collection fee system. <br />The SWAB anticipates working closely with staff and the BOCC in revising and <br />redeveloping a functional long -term waste management plan that: <br />• expands materials collected to the extent markets allow, <br />• efficiently collects and processes collected materials, <br />• maximizes material revenues, <br />• achieves waste reduction goals; and <br />• garners public support and participation. <br />Solid Waste Management Funding <br />The 3 -R Fee adopted in Fiscal 2004/05 will contribute significantly toward providing <br />fiscal stability for those waste reduction and recycling programs that are unable to fund <br />themselves from material revenues. The Manager recommended a fee structure that <br />would have solidified the necessary funding for these programs and services for several <br />years, or until the MSW landfill closes and/or a new Solid Waste Management Plan is <br />approved and implemented. The recommendation included continuing to rely on surplus <br />landfill disposal revenues as long as they. are available. <br />However, the Manager's recommended fee structure was modified in June just prior to <br />adoption, reducing the projected fee revenue by about $500,000. The BOCC instructed <br />the Manager to obtain the additional $500,000 in necessary funding from the capital <br />reserve fund in order to balance the Solid Waste Budget. The SWAB believes this action <br />will require an increase in the fees for Fiscal 2005/06 to maintain the fund balance <br />appropriate for future equipment replacement and operational needs. The SWAB also <br />strongly supports reestablishment of both capital reserve funds and a reasonable <br />undesignated fund balance of 10 -12 percent. <br />Page S of.10 <br />2/3/2005 <br />
