separated for recycling instead. The proposed ordinance regulates on-site separation, requires submission of materials management plans for large construction projects, and licensing of waste haulers to haul the separated regulated materials. Passage of the ordinance would significantly alter the ways in which construction and demalition waste is managed in Orange County and has the potential to reduce the amount of material landfilled if properly implemented and administered. Solid Waste staff and the County Attorney are collaborating to make revisions to the November 2000 draft of this ordinance that reflect direction from the Board and input received from persons who would potentially be affected by the ordinance. Staff will report on activities related to ordinance development since November 2000, and proposed allocations in the 2001 02 Solid Waste budget related to implementation of the proposed ordinance. Attachment • 11/16/00 Draft of "An Ordinance Regulating Recyclable Materials and Licensing the Collection of Regulated Recyclable Material in Orange County" FINANCIAL IMPACT: There are no direct financial impacts associated with the discussion of the issues included on this work session agenda item. However, there will be significant fiscal impacts measured in hundreds of thousands of dollars when the BOCC and other governing boards make decisions at some point in the future about the disposition of the Greene Tract, implementation of pay-as-you-throw programs, and implementation of enhanced construction and demolition waste recycling under the proposed ordinance. RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends that the Board: • discuss the listed topics; • provide feedback regarding revisions, if any, to the proposed framework for resolving the disposition of the Greene Tract; • review, revise as needed, and approve the letter to be sent to the Town of Chapel Hill regarding their .request about implementation of a residential solid waste PAYT program; and • provide other direction to Manager, Attorney, and staff as appropriate.
