Minutes - Regular Meeting <br /> Solid Waste Advisory Board <br /> March 2, 2006 <br /> Approved April 6, 2006 <br /> building to house some of the County' s deconstructed materials . Solid Waste <br /> Department will be responsible for those materials so we will prepare a little <br /> warehouse for them . <br /> Friedlein states that the schedule is to have a finished drawing by August so that the <br /> project can go to bid . <br /> Sassaman asks if this is in Chapel Hill' s jurisdiction? <br /> Wilson replies no . The line is just east of there and it' s also the rural buffer line so we <br /> can' t bring water and sewer there . <br /> Friedlein states that we have identified a well site on this property . We will propose <br /> an alternative wastewater treatment system that doesn' t use a septic field . We don' t <br /> know how that will be received . <br /> Vickers asks have you looked at the fact that having your own water supply under the <br /> Safe Drinking Water Act triggers monitoring requirements that you will have . This <br /> will be a public water supply because of the public meeting room having more than <br /> 25 users when the public comes into the meeting room, not just the staff . There is a <br /> whole sampling and monitoring routine . Has anyone looked at the cost of that? <br /> Friedlein states that that has not been looked at . <br /> Wilson notes that the regardless of cost, water and sewer will not be brought into the <br /> rural buffer . <br /> Spire states that we currently test all the wells . <br /> Sassaman notes that we ' ll also have to do bacteriological testing and all the same <br /> things that OWASA has to do now . This is a Federal law . <br /> Wilson states that in the next two or three months, once the Commissioners give us <br /> the go ahead we will need to have a community meeting hopefully sponsored by the <br /> Advisory Board . This will inform them of what we are doing and let them ask <br /> questions . Depending on the timing of that we could couple that with the <br /> neighborhood meeting about the transfer station, assuming the Commissioners agree <br /> with the SWAB recommendation [to use that site] . If the Advisory Board wishes to we <br /> will probably want to plan for April or May timeframe for a public forum to notify the <br /> neighbors and make ourselves available for questions and comments . <br /> Clayton asks what type of alternative septic system are you planning to use ? <br /> 2 <br />
