7 <br />facility or on -site except standing in the access doorway. Petroleum -like odors were observed from the <br />surrounding area petroleum storage facilities. Odor detection can vary by temperature, barometric <br />pressure, wind speed and direction, type and quantity of waste recently received and overall <br />maintenance, housekeeping and operation of facility. <br />Staff has further contacted Republic Waste Services who operate a WTS on Bishop Road in Greensboro <br />and they are available for a tour if desired. This facility is not a fully enclosed WTS like the Greensboro <br />facility. It opened in January 2009, was designed for about 1,200 tons /day and waste loading is <br />performed by a different method than Greensboro. This design can be scaled in size to local needs. <br />I have also requested from DENR — Waste Management Division any information on newer state of the <br />art WTS's that may be more appropriately size for our local waste quantities that is within a reasonable <br />driving distance from Chapel Hill. No response yet. <br />I am ready to proceed to arrange a tour of the City of Greensboro and /or Bishop Road WTS upon <br />request. <br />
