Minutes - Regular Meeting <br /> Solid Waste Advisory Board <br /> June 3, 2009 <br /> August 6, 2009 <br /> nine hour period, so that may be fairly minor . There are tractor trucks there already the landfill owns two, there is fuel deliveries to the landfill or the Chapel Hill <br /> operations center, deliveries of other equipment, Duke Forest has their carbon dioxide <br /> tanker truck come in two or three times a week . All the Orange County and Chapel <br /> Hill collection vehicles are already coming there . The increase is not sixty but closer to <br /> half that. People who live near there may feel one more truck is too many, but from a <br /> traffic study standpoint, the increase is negligible . <br /> Vickers states that Eubanks Rd . is going to be an issue for the County and the State . <br /> We all know that it needs to be improved . It was a gravel road about nine years ago <br /> and now it' s getting traffic . <br /> Sallach states that when one evaluates the Millhouse site using the same technical <br /> evaluation criteria against which all the other sites have been evaluated, we feel the <br /> Millhouse site will rank very high . We feel that it does meet all the criteria that were <br /> established, as far as a technical design and could meet the current and future needs <br /> of a waste transfer station <br /> As you look at the community specific criteria, while there is the buffer there is still a <br /> number of adjacent neighborhoods . There is a school, a soccer field, and a park so <br /> looking at the community specific criteria, those are impacts that though, while I think <br /> this site is isolated, you do have proximity to more uses of land than the NC <br /> [Highway] 54 sites . The criteria are heavily weighted in favor of mitigating those <br /> types of impacts . We would expect that this site will not rank as high from the <br /> community specific standpoint as the sites on [NC Highway] 54 in the way the criteria <br /> are structured . <br /> Vickers asks what school is out there . <br /> Sallach replies [Emerson] Waldorf. <br /> Bowerman states that there are three dots for historical sites, does anyone know what <br /> they are . <br /> Wilson states that the dot by the pond is the old historical mill site . The dot closer to <br /> Eubanks Rd . is the old Nunn homestead . <br /> Pollock states that the third dot is part of that farmstead and the original core <br /> buildings [at Spence ' s Farm] that date to the early 1800s . <br /> Norwood states that you say this wouldn' t rank very high, can you give a rank . <br /> 7 <br />
