Minutes - Regular Meeting <br /> Solid Waste Advisory Board <br /> May 3, 2007 <br /> Approved June 7, 2007 <br /> Pollock states that after this was sent out Gayle added more verbiage to that point. <br /> We are supposed to have a process where the solid waste department saw everyone ' s <br /> plans to avoid exactly that situation in a formal manner . This helps do that by <br /> requiring a solid waste plan showing how waste and recyclables will be handled so <br /> we can respond and determine if it' s adequate . For example, when the Town of <br /> Chapel Hill goes through development review, we review each plan formally to <br /> prevent problems . At Churton Grove outside Hillsborough we can' t even turn the <br /> recycling truck around through the tight streets they built. Ideally the Towns' and <br /> County' s planning process would formally involve the Solid Waste Department so <br /> this wouldn' t happen again . We' ve been talking to them about this for ten years . <br /> Vickers moves to authorize Blair to put forth these four goals and if a sufficient <br /> number of board members comes up with other goals and approves it we will add to <br /> 1t. <br /> Smith 2nd . <br /> Norwwood states that in point two, the word landfill is there, do we want that there ? <br /> People don ' t usually think about C &D [landfill] . <br /> Sassaman asks why not. <br /> Norwood states that isn' t it a moot point now . <br /> Sassaman states that the Board of Commissioners has said that they will not site <br /> another municipal solid waste landfill in Orange County, but that doesn ' t mean that <br /> Waste Management or BFI or Vickers and Sons might want to come in and try to site a <br /> landfill in Orange County . There are also other types of landfills . <br /> Vote passes unanimously . <br /> Chapel Hill Rogers Road Small Area Planning Process - No discussion. <br /> Orange County Historic Rogers Road Community Enhancement Plan Pollock states that <br /> one reason this is brought up is Jan, and maybe others, has, has been approached to <br /> be on the enhancement committee . It' s pertinent to you all in regard to solid waste <br /> that you are likely to have higher involvement as the solid waste fund and the <br /> Department may be seen as a source of funds for improvements . The water line issue <br /> took a year of your time . And there is supposed to be support from the solid waste <br /> management staff, given the nature of the discussions of the meetings at the church <br /> there is some considerable likelihood that the solid waste fund will be a potential <br /> source of funding the improvements . You will probably be intimately involved as the <br /> SWAB . Do you want to contemplate being an open wallet or draw some lines in the <br /> 8 <br />
