Minutes - Special Meeting <br /> Solid Waste Advisory Board <br /> March 31 , 2009 <br /> Approved May 7, 2009 <br /> Wilson states that we can answer questions the best we can . <br /> Reynolds states that the material that was presented in the slides is a portion of what <br /> we did as examples . [For] every town and the County, we went through their routes, <br /> their cost assumptions and mapped each one . It is all included . That is all but about <br /> 17 % of the waste stream . The private haulers collect commercial waste and the <br /> component is in our numbers . The part that is not in our numbers is the private <br /> haulers that collect waste now that are not associated with some contract with the <br /> Towns, that is 17 % of the waste stream . The reason we didn ' t include those numbers <br /> is because it is very difficult to come up with an end- of-route assumption . OCV used <br /> one location county-wide end of route and we ' ve been criticized for simplifying our <br /> end of route so we went through a very elaborate process to get all the routes down. <br /> The reason we didn' t use it for that one component is because we didn' t want to <br /> assume where the end- of-route would be . We can assume a waste centroid and add <br /> that into the analysis . <br /> Laura Streitfeld with Preserve Rural Orange states that on the capital cost, is it <br /> possible to get a breakdown of those because as Mr . Kirby mentioned the property in <br /> question is not 25 acres . <br /> Sassaman states that they are in the report. <br /> Streitfeld states regarding the weekend service at the proposed site on Hwy 54 and <br /> how the private locations might limit weekend options for the municipalities, can you <br /> clarify what is proposed for the Hwy 54 transfer station in terms of weekend hours ? <br /> Wilson states that we do not envision being open on Sunday unless during some <br /> emergency situation. The normal hours are to close at noon on Saturday . <br /> Streitfeld states regarding getting this information out to folks who will be affected by <br /> the proposed site on Hwy 54 there were concerns that we sent and I know that have <br /> started to be addressed about updating the transfer station website information but <br /> there is also some question about how to get information to people that don' t use the <br /> internet. I am wondering how the County and the consultants might try to contact <br /> folks that will be affected and don' t use the Internet. <br /> Wilson states that in some of the previous works in the siting process there were <br /> mailings that went out to property owners within a certain number of feet of each site . <br /> For most that have been keeping up with the process there have been numerous <br /> amounts of news articles . I can' t image anyone not knowing . If you have any ideas <br /> we will be glad to do some expanded mailings or posters . <br /> 17 <br />
