Minutes Solid Waste Advisory Board June 14 , 2001 This transfer station would cut down traffic on Eubanks Road and divert approximately 23 % of the currently landfilled waste which is generated in this part of the county . That would more equitably distribute the burden of waste management and would allow us to bid a smaller transfer station on Eubanks Rd . A part of this site is also proposed to receive and recycle inert materials and land clearing debris . The ordinance will ban burning land clearing debris . This has not been presented to Board of Orange County Commissioners but the manager has seen it . Barr ask when the commissioners would see this . Wilson explains that it may be work session sometime in September . Vickers asks if it makes sense to put a MRF at a current landfill location . Wilson explains that both sides could be argued . From a transportation standpoint it would be close to ideal . Vickers states that he and Jan Sassaman have been asked to present a report to the Town of Chapel Hill on the activities of the SWAB . 6 . Process for reviewing the Solid Waste Management Plan and Alternative Financing. Barr states that there will be a committee to work on this issue and get some kind of information that can be reviewed . This would get organized in August . Gist ask if this committee would review the Solid Waste Management Plan and Alternative Financing and report back to the SWAB . Pollock states that another way to look it would be to look at the Solid Waste Plan and let that drive the financing decision . Pollock states that, in the previous work, there are some pretty good models to play " what if" with, thus you won' t be starting from scratch . Wilson states that while the plan is the most significant cost element, there are a number of other cost elements . It is fairly complicated and we ' ll try to break it down . 9
