1 <br /> FY 2000-2001 FY-19994000 <br /> ORANGE COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS <br /> DRAFT GOAL <br /> Adopted: 06/21/99 <br /> Revised: 06/07/00 <br /> Revised 11/27/00 <br /> SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT ORGANIZATION, FACILITIES, AND SERVICES <br /> GOAL STATEMENT: To implement a cost-effective and environmentally sound array of services and facilities to achieve the <br /> following solid waste management goals of: <br /> • To reduce waste being landfilled by 45%per capita by 2001 and 61%by 2006, through emphasis on education,reduction,reuse and <br /> recycling, <br /> • To provide environmentally responsible, cost effective disposal for the residuals, and <br /> • To develop adequate long-term,equitable,and stable enterprise system financing mechanisms to achieve these ends. <br /> Goal Initiated/Proposed By: Solid Waste Management Department <br /> Most Recent Version Adopted by BOCC: June 1999 <br /> STATUS REPORT <br /> In April 2000 Orange County assumed management and ownership of the solid waste functions previously owned jointly by Carrboro, Chapel <br /> and the County and managed by the Town of Chapel Hill. There has also been extensive discussion about what facilities and services should <br /> be provided to facilitate achievement of established solid waste reduction goals. These goals, adopted in 1997 by the County and Towns(and <br /> reaffirmed in the 2000 update to the State Solid Waste Plan), call for reductions in per capita waste landfilled against a base year of 1991-92 of <br /> 45 percent by 2001,and 61 percent by 2006. In September 1999,the County, Carrboro,and Chapel Hill signed an Interlocal Agreement under <br /> which the County assumed overall solid waste management responsibility. Appointments to the Solid Waste Advisory Board have been made <br /> by Orange County, Chapel Hill, Carrboro, and Hillsborough and that Board now functions as a policy advisory group to the BOCC on solid <br /> waste issues. With regard to facilities,the most pressing need at this time is to identify and develop additional construction and demolition <br /> (C&D) disposal capacity,or to make other plans, as the current C&D landfill capacity will be exhausted by early summer of 2002. Subsequent <br /> important facility siting and development decisions that will be required involve consideration of a materials recovery facility,C&D <br />
