2 27 "Integrated Solid Waste Management Plan" means the report submitted pursuant to law to State authorities that described the long-term plan for solid waste management, which the County, as designated lead agency, filed on behalf of the County and the Towns. The Integrated Solid Waste Management Plan includes goals to reduce waste landfilled per person by 45% by 2001 and 61% by 2006 when compared with the 1991-92 amount of 1.36 tons per person. The Parties have approved this Plan and adopted its framework by resolutions adopted (a) by Carrboro on June 24, 1997, (b) by Chapel Hill on June 9, 1997, (c) by Hillsborough on June 17, 1997, and(d) by the County on June 30, 1997. (ii) The Agreement shall be further amended by revising the definition of "Solid Waste Management Plan and Policies"to read substantially as follows: "Solid Waste Management Plan and Policies" means the combination of(a) the Integrated Solid Waste Management Plan and all future modifications to that Plan, and (b) all solid waste management policies related to the System and coordinated solid waste management for the County, the Towns and the persons and organizations in their jurisdictions, as the same may exist from time to time (including all such policies in effect as of the date of this Agreement). The term "Solid Waste Management Plan and Policies" thereby encompasses all policy choices, as in effect from time to time, related to the management and operation of the System, ranging (for example) from the goal for overall solid waste reduction down to the hours of landfill operation and the price of mulch. (iii) Finally, the Agreement shall be further amended by adding a new paragraph in substantially the following form to the opening of Part 4, immediately preceding the paragraph captioned"System will be operated as an enterprise fund." The Integrated Solid Waste Management Plan includes, among other things, goals for the reduction of the overall solid waste stream. The Parties affirm on the date of this Agreement their commitment to the solid waste reduction goals set out in the Integrated Solid Waste Management Plan. The Parties agree, however, that the County is ultimately responsible for balancing the available resources and the demands on the System. The Parties acknowledge and agree that the County must therefore have sufficient authority to adjust either the resources available to the System or the requirements of the Solid Waste Management Plan and Policies, or both,to achieve the necessary balance. 2. The Council authorizes the Mayor to execute and deliver the final form of the Agreement for Solid Waste Management. The final form of the Agreement shall be in substantially the form of(a) the draft dated June 1, 1999, with (b) the modifications described above.
