Minutes <br /> Solid Waste Advisory Board <br /> June 14, 2001 <br /> Wilson states it ' s premature to evaluate that now because things could change in the <br /> next 6 years . <br /> Vickers asks is there is rail potential . <br /> Wilson explains that there is potential , but have previously looked at it and based on <br /> the [low] tonnage the cost is prohibited . <br /> Vickers asks if there has been talk of a joint transfer station with Durham . <br /> Wilson states that there have been meetings to try and find sites in southern Durham <br /> County to be used but there were none . <br /> Vickers asks if the transfer station is placed on Eubanks Road then that would <br /> preclude cooperation with Durham <br /> Wilson states it does . All the while the clock is not stopping . We are getting closer <br /> [to landfill closure ] every day and have to plan to take care of business and if <br /> something happens with cooperation with another jurisdiction, so much the better . <br /> You would need to already have a site and start preliminary design by 2003 . <br /> ( area for [ disaster debris] Fran-type of debris ) <br /> Gist states that in 1995 there were discussion regarding the Neville Tract would not <br /> be used for landfill purposes and that the area would be turned into a park . <br /> Spire states that the use of the Neville Tract [for disaster debris] would only be in <br /> case of an emergency . <br /> Vickers states that it would make sense to have it out there because the equipment is <br /> there and hopefully you wouldn' t have to use it . <br /> Wilson states that the State is requiring all counties tordesignate areas for that type <br /> of material [ disaster debris ] . <br /> Vickers asks if a MRF would be needed, where would it be . <br /> Wilson states there is only one possible location, which would be at the recycling <br /> pad [proposed new south side location, not current pad location] . <br /> Wilson proposes a [unspecified] site in the northern part of the county , which is <br /> estimated to be about 50 acres , for a transfer station to handle all the waste <br /> generated north of I - 85 plus a recycling facility for LCID and disaster debris landfill . <br /> 8 <br />
