Minutes - Regular Meeting <br /> Solid Waste Advisory Board <br /> June 5 , 2008 <br /> Approved August 7, 2008 <br /> Sallach replies we have . <br /> Norwood asks do you know how far away from the schools [as a criterion] <br /> considering there will be a new school within two miles of the landfill . <br /> Sallach states that we will look within a half-mile radius and everything in that half- <br /> mile radius . <br /> Norwood states that the rural buffer would require sewer but Gayle can' t have sewer <br /> in the rural buffer . <br /> Sallach states that you wouldn' t necessarily have to have sewer . We could use <br /> holding tanks and wells . <br /> Pollock states that if you thought that was an important criterion then you would say <br /> that is a ten . If you think it is less important you would give it a lesser weight. <br /> Norwood states that since the rural buffer has been fought for so long--not messed <br /> with by certain things and now that the government wants it and can site the transfer <br /> station in the rural buffer that they will do it. <br /> Pollock states that then you would say that is an important criteria . <br /> Sallach states that I don' t think that you have had enough of a chance to provide input <br /> as to what you think or what criteria you think are important. If we could get your <br /> feedback in some sort of consensus that would be beneficial because where we are in <br /> the process is the working document you are looking at has been submitted to the <br /> Board and will be taking a recommendation to them in terms of the ranking of the <br /> criteria for discussion. <br /> Grunwald asks is there some place for us to look at a discussion from you or your <br /> sources to give of us some background so that we don' t make random comments on <br /> things that we have a different understanding of those words than you do . We could <br /> cause more problems than we solve . <br /> Sallach states that there is a document on line of public comments that we have <br /> received to date . It would basically include the same particular information . The <br /> technical criteria are in the form of that document. When we email the documents to <br /> you we will also send our suggested importance factor evaluation form . <br /> Pollock clarifies that the exclusionary criteria are set so there is not much point of <br /> commenting on those . There is much more significance in commenting on the <br /> technical and community at this point. <br /> 5 <br />
