Implemen[etlon of such an <br />ortlinance requires staffing, facilities development, antl cccNination with other departments and <br />govemmen(s wdhln Orange County, as well as the regulated community of developere end <br />waste haulers. <br />The proposed oNinance has potential to regulate both recyclable C&D materials and char <br />materiels with a goal of keeping those metedala from being lantlfllletl antl requiring that they be <br />separetetl for recycling instead.

Passage of the ordinance would <br />significan8y alter the ways in which constmc[ion and demolition waste is managetl in Orange <br />County and has the potential to retluce the amount of material lantlfilletl if properly implemented <br />antl atlministaretl. <br />The Board discussetl previous versions of [he drefl oNinance e[ meetings in November 2000 <br />and January 2001, and raised a number of questions, including concerns that any oNinance the <br />SoaN might adopt shcultl not have unintended adverse consequences on agtlcultural antl <br />forestry operations. Since that time, the staff and [he Attorney have wcdcetl with various <br />
