2 <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Topic C: Solid Waste Management Long Term Options /Landfill Closure <br /> <br />Sassaman led a discussion of the future of solid waste management in Orange County <br />and divided alternatives into ‘in-county’ and ‘out-of-county’. There was general <br />consensus that there would not be another in-county final disposal facility for MSW once <br />the current landfill closed. Further discussion centered on timing and utility of building an <br />in-county transfer station to ship waste to some other disposal facility and the possibility <br />of a regional facility in our area. There was a general understanding that Orange County, <br />on its own does not generate enough waste to support a stand-alone facility using <br />alternative technologies to manage mixed municipal solid waste. <br /> <br />Topic D Programs and Services Update: <br />Wilson provided a handout and explanation of the Rogers Road Community benefits <br />resolution adopted by the BOCC on May 26th. <br /> <br />Pollock presented a briefing on the 88% waste diversion accomplishment at the <br />Hillsborough Hog Day celebration. <br /> <br />Pollock notified the SWAB of receipt by Orange County of two solid waste reduction <br />grants totaling $30,000 from the State of North Carolina for a baler for rigid plastics and <br />for roll-off containers to enable shingle recycling. <br /> <br />Meeting adjourned 9:00pm <br /> <br />Name of minute taker(s): Blair Pollock and Wanda McCain. <br />
