By deleting the paragraph identified as "Acquire <br />property." in Part 1 and replacing it with the following: <br />Acquire property. The County shall acquire real and <br />personal property as it deems appropriate for System <br />purposes. There shall be no restrictions on the County's <br />acquisition of additional acreage at the existing <br />landfill. The Parties acknowledge and support the County`s <br />position that as operator of solid waste operations, it <br />may, despite diligent efforts to explore alternatives, <br />settle upon the area on and proximate to the existing <br />closed landfill site on Eubanks Road as the location for <br />additional solid waste facilities.

The date the County assumes solid <br />waste management responsibility is the effective date of <br />this Agreement. The Parties shall take actions provided <br />for in this Agreement, or which may otherwise be necessary <br />or appropriate, in a timely fashion to permit the County's <br />assumption of solid waste responsibility on the effective <br />date. <br />3.
