Jeff <br /> noted that there are still some errors in the report and they will be corrected by the <br /> work session (to be held October 23) . <br /> A discussion was held about the potential uses of landfill gas and how it was to be <br /> treated e . g ., , by flaring, venting, etc . <br /> Al Vickers raised a question about whether the same type of diversion could be <br /> accomplished without a MRF, as the BOCC did not appear to be strongly in favor of <br /> a MRF . Staff response was that a case would be put forward that showed the level of <br /> diversion that could be achieved with no MRF and current level of programs <br /> expanded only to accommodate new growth in those areas, e . g. , residential curbside <br /> recycling . <br /> Bonnie Norwood raised the question of whether it would be possible to site another <br /> landfill in Orange County, especially at the Blackwood Property .
