i. The converted storage facility can embrace sustainability that are not achievable <br />by the current racetrack by implementing eco-friendly practices. This includes <br />reducing overall waste generation, increasing recycling efforts, and <br />implementing renewable energy options. By adopting these sustainable <br />measures, the facility reduces its environmental impact, contributing positively <br />to the community and the environment. <br />4- Solid Waste Management <br />a. Reduced Event-Related Waste Generation: <br />i. The racetrack typically generates significant amounts of waste during racing <br />events, including food containers, beverage cups, and other single-use items. <br />With the conversion into a storage facility, eliminates of large-scale events is <br />reduced, leading to a substantial decrease in event-related waste generation. <br />This reduction aligns with waste reduction and conservation efforts, benefiting <br />the environment. <br />In conclusion, converting the Orange County race track into a storage facility offers significant hazardous <br />materials and waste benefits that prioritize safety, environmental protection, and sustainability. The <br />elimination of hazardous materials associated with racing events, responsible material handling, and <br />proper waste management practices ensure a reduced risk of contamination and promote a healthier <br />living environment. Embracing sustainable practices and adhering to environmental regulations further <br />exemplify the commitment of the storage facility to be a responsible and conscientious neighbor in the <br />community. <br />5- Erosion Control <br />a. Construction Criteria <br />i. Standards of the facility will fully adhere with “Orange County Soil Erosion <br />Sedimentation Control Ordinance” and other requirements. <br />ii. Pre-construction conference will be held before any disturbance to ensure that <br />all contractors understand existing regulations. <br />6- Stormwater management <br />a. Impacts to the Neuse stream buffers on site shall comply with the uses listed in the <br />Neuse Rules and the Orange County Unified Development Ordinance. Examples of listed <br />uses include utilities, roadways, etc. <br />b. The project will adhere with the stormwater requirements listed in the Falls Lake Rules. <br />i. Project site Nitrogen and Phosphorus load contributions leaving the site must be <br />held to 2.2 lbs per acre per year and .33 lbs per acre per year respectively. These <br />standards will be met via BMPs approved by North Carolina Division of Water <br />Quality (NCDEQ). <br />ii. No net increase in peak flow leaving the site from the predevelopment <br />conditions for the 1-year, 24-hour storm; <br />c. A Stormwater Management Plan (SMP) shall be developed to address stormwater <br />runoff for the project site. Design calculations will be based on stormwater best <br />management practices (BMPs). <br />111
