Tennyson <br />Mayor <br />101 City Hall Plaza <br />Durham, NC 27701 <br />(919) 560 -4333 <br />(919) 560 -4801 (Fax) <br />Your decision concerning the C & D Landfill is of direct interest to me as a <br />citizen and public official in Durham. Our City Council was briefed on the <br />plan, but we took no official action and I am writing this on my own <br />behalf, not as a representative of, or at the direction of, Council. <br />I understand that you have a difficult challenge in siting a landfill to serve <br />your citizens. You are fortunate that your current landfill site gives you an <br />expansion option for a few years and I hope that you act to use that <br />C <br />IT expansion, as opposed to developing a satellite facility. <br />L <br />O <br />E The tract on the Durham County /Orange County line has been discussed as <br />M particularly problematic because of its proximity to our water supply. <br />L Having made decisions with regional impact, I can understand that you do <br />3 not need me to tell you which decision to make. <br />ra <br />I will rely completely on your judgment, so long as your decision is made <br />= as if the reservoir in question were Cane Creek, or University Lake. If you <br />would put a C & D Landfill in your own watershed, then you could decide <br />to put one in ours. <br />ca I don't think you would and I hope that you won't. <br />n Sincerel , <br />n <br />n <br />1 <br />u Nicholas J.
