Minutes - Regular Meeting <br /> Solid Waste Advisory Board <br /> June 5 , 2008 <br /> Approved August 7, 2008 <br /> Tipton asks if it will be a drive through . <br /> Sallach states that it will be a lower level drive through of the transfer station . The <br /> tractor trailers drive under a hopper that' s on the second floor . The collection vehicles <br /> will come in, drive into that building and then they will have to back up and dump <br /> the load on the tipping floor and drive out the other side . With a 25 -acre site and <br /> buffers we are trying to address those issues . <br /> Tipton asks for the meaning of non-protected neighborhood character . <br /> Sallach states that it is an ambiguous definition that we need to work on trying to <br /> further clarify . We want to try to assess the impact on protection of neighborhood <br /> character that isn ' t covered by land use or zoning . <br /> Pollock states that this has been rich feedback . If you all have the maps and criteria by <br /> Monday is it fair to expect that by Friday, the 13th you can direct comments to either <br /> Gayle or Bob ? That would enable us to get them to Bob and the Board before the 16th. <br /> Norwood states that on the non-regulated we could see the transfer station could be <br /> sited and the garbage trucks coming by your house that do not pickup your garbage <br /> but you would have to drive ten miles past the transfer station to get rid of your trash . <br /> Would that be a non-regulated nuisance ? It seems that you don' t want to adversely <br /> affect neighbors, so if you already have to drive all this distance and you talk about <br /> carbon tracks, can there be a facility for proximal people for a convenient site there ? <br /> Spire states that there was a section set aside where small vehicles could go to get rid <br /> of their garbage without having to process through the large building . That was <br /> designed into the original Eubanks Road facility . <br /> Sallach states that we would recommend that there be some sort of facility so that the <br /> citizens don' t have to go on the transfer station . <br /> Pollock states this has been a fairly important discussion and between the minutes <br /> and you all' s opportunity to comment next week that we have given fair opportunity <br /> to get feedback from the SWAB . <br /> 4 . Landfill Gas Recovery - Project Update Presentation by Bob Sallach . <br /> The gas is extracted by a vacuum system from the well, conveyed to a collection <br /> system where it' s captured, cleaned up and compressed and moved by pipeline . <br /> Pollock asks how tall the wells would be . <br /> 7 <br />
