LONG RANGE PLANNING FOR SOLID WASTE DISPOSAL
Comm. Gottovi explained her reasons for requesting that this be put on the agenda
for discussion and stated that she felt the Capital Improvement Program should c6ntain
some funding for solid waste disposal.
Comm. Gottovi also reported on the meeting of the Landfill Search Committee that
had been appointed at the Special Meeting on June 11 and outlined their proposed goals
as follows:
A. That the committee work with the county engineer and Waste Management of N.C.,
Inc. in studying alternative methods of solid waste disposal and resource
recovery, and to help present a viable solution to the disposal of solid
waste generated in New 'Hanover County.
(The committee felt it needed at least one year to work on this goal.)
B. That 'the committee help the county engineer and Waste Management of N.C., Inc.
in finding a feasible one-to-five year landfill site for the disposal of solid
waste in an environmentally 'sound fashion.
(According to Mrs. Wright's motion, this process to take six months.)
C. That the committee educate the public in all available methods of waste
disposal, and encourage public participation in long-term solutions.
Comm. Wright explained her motion during the meeting of June 11 when the Committee
was appointed and her intent at that time was to solve the immediate problem of finding
a landfill site.
Chm. Williams suggested reactivating a committee of industrial engineers that had
done a study on alternatives for solid waste disposal a few years ago. .

disposal with an emphasis on recycling and resource recovery.

County Manager Dan Eller
Comm. Armistead
Comm. O'Shields
Mr. Peter Depland
Comm. Gottovi moved that the County Commission change the definition' of the landfill
committee making it an advisory committee.
Comm. Gottovi clarified her motion as follo~s:
To redefine the committee in terms of its responsibility, that instead of being in
sole charge of finding a landfill site for this County that it would work with the County
to help find a landfill site and that its goals be expanded to include also that it can
be allowed to study alternate methods of solid waste disposal with the County Engineer
and Waste 'Management and whatever consultant we end up hiring so that it is part of that
process as well, and that the committee begin and continue an education effort for the
public in all available methods of waste disposal and include the public in its dis~
cussions of how we're going to solve the solid waste problem.
Comm. Wright reques.t",(rthat".th~ !!lotion include the understanding that the immed;iate
and primary purpose was..the"landfiil locaticm' and that the other alternatives were
secondary to that because of the immediacy of the.landfill problem 'and that the committee
would go into the' other alternatives as they had 'time available.
Ms. Debbie Bowen, a member of the committee, commented.
I
Comm. Gottovi restated her motion to adopt the goals for the committee changing l~~
to "A" and "A" to "B" making the committee,iinstead of being the sole group responsible for
locating the landfill, now an advisory committee to County staff.
Comm. Armistead seconded the motion with the understanding that the Chairman of the
'Co~ittee would be the only one working with the staff or request staff time and the
Chairman of the committee would report to the County Manager and/or County Engineer.
Mrs. Betty' Scott requ~sted that' the vice~chairman be allowed to act in the absence
of the chairman in working with the staff.
