Minutes - Regular Meeting <br /> Solid Waste Advisory Board <br /> October 5, 2006 <br /> Approved November 2, 2006 <br /> Wilson states that the economic district was broached several years ago with no <br /> response . <br /> Clayton states that at the last meeting I asked the question of co-locating the transfer <br /> station with recyclables transfer . In the m yply i <br /> inutesour re s that it could work for a <br /> while . I thought that there was a number stated . Is there a number? <br /> Wilson states that it depends on what ' s run through it . Running a bottle/ can stream it <br /> will probably work . Running a dual stream there is probably not enough room . As <br /> when we think tonnage wise, both bays will be utilized for MSW it' s at least ten years . <br /> Landfill Gas Study Wilson states that I also met with Olver today regarding this <br /> project, regarding the option to power a cluster of local government facilities <br /> including school, Animal Shelter and our new facility on Eubanks Road or piping gas <br /> or generating power for Carolina North . The effectiveness of this is determined by <br /> when they will have something on the ground . If it is six or seven years out this is not <br /> a good option as we will be going down in gas production . Generally we' re venting <br /> gas; we flare gas from one wet well as there have been some special [odor] issues at <br /> that manhole . <br /> Kabrick asks is there a draft report . <br /> Wilson replies not at this time . There are draft spreadsheets . The consultant is going <br /> to make some changes, take that to the University staff for comments and make a final <br /> report to BOCC and UNC and the BOCC will have to decide if they want to pursue <br /> one option or the other . The UNC option is break even, [the other is worse ] . We can' t <br /> take advantage of the credits that a private developer could . The whole set of credits <br /> is complicated . <br /> Kabrick asks if you have talked to UNC about the carbon reduction program that the <br /> Town has signed up for . This will be a good way to do something with greenhouse <br /> gases . <br /> Highway 57 Convenience Center Site Identification Wilson states that a committee of the <br /> BOCC has authorized staff to negotiate for a piece of property a couple of miles past <br /> the existing site . The property ' s primary use will be a regional park of which a solid <br /> waste convenience center would be an auxiliary use . <br /> Walnut Grove Convenience Center Temporary Expansion Wilson states that the same <br /> committee has also authorized staff to negotiate for an 18 acre piece of property <br /> adjacent to Walnut Grove site . Staff has developed a short term interim site plan for <br /> that property and a draft of a long-term permanent site plan for that . <br /> 8 <br />
