Gayle Wilson concurred with this. <br /> Commissioner Carey said that this project is supposed to be financed through the <br /> landfill fund, but there is no mention of it in the timeline. Gwen Harvey said that this was <br /> part of the capital investment program for the Solid Waste Enterprise Fund. <br /> 4. Summary Presentation on Action Items that Follow a Final Site Selection <br /> Bob Sallach said that as a consultant, Olver, Inc. needs the Board's direction on <br /> how to proceed with the site selection. There is some additional due diligence regarding <br /> engineering. <br /> Chair Jacobs asked Craig Benedict to outline the process for acquiring a site within <br /> one of the municipalities. Craig Benedict said that this would follow a site plan process of <br /> Article 14 of the Zoning Ordinance. There are application criteria in there. There is not a <br /> public hearing process in the typical site plan process. There would probably have to be <br /> environmental or traffic impact statements. <br /> Gwen Harvey said that there are provisions that relate only to a transfer station that <br /> are rigorous and may mimic what the County would normally do for a site plan review. <br /> Bob Sallach said that it would need to go through the State. <br /> Commissioner Gordon asked what routes the large trucks would be taking to <br /> transfer the waste out of the County. Gayle Wilson said that the Board of County <br /> Commissioners would be in a position to dictate the route the trucks would follow, in the <br /> contract with the hauler. <br />
