Minutes - Regular Meeting <br /> Solid Waste Advisory Board <br /> June 5 , 2008 <br /> Approved August 7, 2008 <br /> Norwood asks regarding the slopes, if the other sites get attacked but there is a site <br /> that would work but has a slope can you grade it and use it. <br /> Sallach states that as long as it doesn' t have slopes greater than 15 % . <br /> Norwood asks even if it appears to be more viable and has the least amount of impact <br /> on anyone in its close proximity ? <br /> Sallach states that the way the criteria would be applied, that site would be excluded . <br /> A site could have 15 % slope on it as long as it has 25 acres of area that doesn' t have <br /> 15 % slope . <br /> Norwood states that initially it looks like if there is a slope it will be shoved away and <br /> I would like to see if that happens not to totally throw that away because the battle is <br /> just starting . <br /> Sallach states that if it is a 25 acre site that has 15 % slope it will be excluded . If it is a <br /> 35 -acre site and approximately 25 acres of area that doesn ' t have slope then it would <br /> be considered . <br /> Grunwald asks if you are looking at publicly held land only or private and how <br /> would you approach that. <br /> Sallach states that it will be approached through the technical criteria in terms of <br /> weighting and importance . <br /> Grunwald asks how would you approach a private - eminent domain or purchase . <br /> Sallach replies at this point we are blind to ownership . We address this under the <br /> technical criteria in terms of its weighting and importance and then community <br /> specific . <br /> Norwood asks [for a site] to be eliminated for historical reasons does it have to be on a <br /> list or can it be historical to the USA . <br /> Sallach states that there is a definition provided that establishes the registries we <br /> would use to identify sites . <br /> Pollock notes that this is the SWAB ' s opportunity to weigh in on the weights that <br /> apply or recommendations about weighting . <br /> Grunwald asks if the central location would be more important especially in the <br /> future with the push on carbon emissions standards and constantly tightening those . <br /> 3 <br />
