Minutes - Regular Meeting <br /> Solid Waste Advisory Board <br /> June 5, 2008 <br /> Approved August 7, 2008 <br /> Sallach states that the technical criteria are going to be discussed / presented at the <br /> June 16 meeting . We will need your turn around as soon as possible . We will email <br /> out [the] importance factor evaluation so you take a crack at that. <br /> When we are done with the technical we will have ranked ten sites . The top four sites <br /> will become the candidate sites they will then be evaluated with respect to community <br /> specific . When we go to community specific the points and rankings of those four <br /> candidate sites will go away . We start over in terms of ranking . <br /> Sassaman asks how do you evaluate the impact on a residence . <br /> Sallach states that we are not going to evaluate the impact we are going to look at the <br /> number of residences affected . <br /> Sassaman asks what is the definition of an impact of a residence . (reads definition <br /> from working document -- " The site zvith the fewest number of residences located on <br /> abutting property parcels will be ranked the highest. Demographics including race and class of <br /> impacted residences will be established for consideration under the environmental justice <br /> criteria " ) . It could be a different density if the abutting properties are a half an acre in <br /> size or twenty acres in size . <br /> Norwood states that with the mailings that go out to no <br /> us when things are going <br /> on they only notify the property abutting and not those across the road because it <br /> didn ' t meet the number of feet criteria and the whole neighborhood would be affected <br /> far vastly affected than one individual . <br /> Sassaman states that in risk assessment you take the area of concern and look at the <br /> number of the population at the various annuli away from that area . <br /> Sallach states that we are open to ideas and input and this is a process we want to <br /> refine . So you are saying you would look at this from the standpoint of various <br /> impacts . <br /> Sassaman states that you would give weighting to the number of people that would <br /> be within 200 or 500 ft. You could come up with a qualitative number by multiplying <br /> - a weighting within a weighting . <br /> Norwood questions the noise, how many hours you will have to listen to the " beep , <br /> beep " will have more impact than anything else . <br /> Sallach states the beep -beep will be inside the building . <br /> 6 <br />
