May, 1998: Survey of C &D origin of loads: surveyed all trucks for one week carrying C &D to <br />landfill. One conclusion: 50% of vehicles were pickup trucks. <br />June, 1998: Funding for C &D site acquisition <br />September, 1998: Public hearing on C &D sites with preliminary engineering/information <br />reports on Eubanks, Blackwood and site off Old NC 86. <br />October, 1998: Regulating Construction and Demolition Wastes: Memo recommends that <br />Owners Group consider regulating construction and demolition wastes to reduce their generation. <br />Ordinance prepared for Chapel Hill by attorney /intern for Solid Waste Dept. and given to County <br />Attorney for review. <br />December, 1998: Update on construction and demolition waste options. Re- presented previous <br />information on regulating C &D for source - separation and semi - automated, centralized, <br />mechanical separation. <br />December, 1998: Engineering report on additional C &D siting options with maps of various <br />sites. <br />February 1999: Letter report from Orange County Planning Department regarding: Burying <br />C &D materials in Orange County. <br />March, 1999: Request for information on C &D landfill siting. Description of criteria used for <br />identifying potential sites for a C &D landfill. Reply to LOG member query. That stated 16 sites <br />were identified, none of which was ultimately found suitable. <br />May, 1999: Construction and Demolition Waste Reduction Program and Ordinance <br />The report summarizes the possible approaches to regulating construction and demolition waste. <br />The resolution from the LOG recommends that the County develop a single county -wide <br />ordinance regulating C &D waste rather than have each jurisdiction establish its own regulatory <br />procedures. <br />B. Regulatory Measures <br />One of the two general approaches to reducing construction wastes involves use of a <br />combination of regulatory measures and pricing tools to control the management of C &D debris. <br />One C &D management model couples use of these regulatory and pricing measures with source - <br />separated processing and marketing of materials at a centralized, publicly controlled site. The <br />other general approach is to construct and operate a centralized sorting facility to separate and <br />process mixed C &D materials. The sorting facility approach is addressed in section C2 below. <br />Section B immediately below focuses on the first approach. Section C1 focuses on the corollary <br />processing and sorting of the source - separated materials. <br />22 <br />
