1. Solid Waste Advisory Board (SWAB)
Recommended Elements of a New
Interlocal Agreement
2. 1999 Interlocal Agreement Gayle Wilson 968-2885
John Roberts 245-2318
PURPOSE: To discuss the need for a new interlocal agreement to address solid waste
planning and state reporting, recycling, municipal solid waste disposal, the future of the Greene
Tract, and the future of the Solid Waste Advisory Board.
BACKGROUND: In 1999 Orange County, Chapel Hill, Carrboro, and later Hillsborough entered
into an interlocal cooperation agreement, the Agreement for Solid Waste Management
("Interlocal"), regarding the future of the Greene Tract, and also the disposal of municipal solid
waste (MSW), construction and demolition waste (C&D), and recyclable materials. The
Interlocal provides in great detail for the management of MSW. However, its provisions related
to C&D waste and recyclable materials are extremely limited.
In September 2011 the attorneys for the County and Municipalities met and discussed the
Interlocal. Their determination was that upon the proposed 2013 closure of the Orange County
Landfill the Interlocal effectively terminates with regard to the provisions related to MSW. Given
the limited extent to which the Interlocal addresses the management of recyclable materials and
C&D waste if the governing boards of the County and Municipalities desire to continue the
current method of the collection and processing of recyclable materials a new interlocal
agreement should be developed.
With the closure of the Orange County Landfill there will also be a need to collect and manage
MSW. There may be continued benefit for the County and Municipalities to cooperate for such
collection and management by jointly contracting with a third party for those services.
Regardless of whether the County and Municipalities continue to partner with regard to the
management of MSW it is wise for the County and Municipalities to continue to partner with
regard to planning for the management of MSW and recyclable materials. Joint planning, waste
reduction goal setting and reporting would particularly benefit the County and assist the County
in its mandated state planning responsibilities.
2
The Interlocal provides for the appointment and responsibilities of the Solid Waste Advisory
Board ("SWAB"). Another key consideration for the governing boards to address is whether to
maintain the SWAB in its current form or to modify both the form and function of the SWAB.
Should the governing boards of the County and Municipalities determine to proceed jointly in
the management of MSW the SWAB in one form or another, as provided in a new interlocal
agreement, could be beneficial to the parties to that new agreement.
The Interlocal has provisions related to the Greene Tract, including apportioning 60 acres to
Orange County ownership and the remainder to be jointly owned by Carrboro, Chapel Hill and
the County and includes additional provisions for planning for its potential future uses. And
lastly, the Interlocal contains requirements regarding community benefits.
FINANCIAL IMPACT: There is no financial impact to discuss these issues.
RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends that the Board, along with the elected
Boards of the Towns of Carrboro, Chapel Hill and Hillsborough, discuss the issues, options and
needs related to development of a new Interlocal Agreement for Solid Waste Management.

ATTACAMENT 1
Recommended Elements of a New Interlocal A�;reement
The SWAB has reached consensus with regard to the elements that should be
inchidedlincorporated into any new IA. The SWAB concept is for a comprehensive
solid waste management agreement that builds on current successes,improves existing
shortcomings and provides a means to deal with future challenges.
• Financia.l responsibility for closure and post-closure of landfills—Identifies
and clarifies financial responsibilities.
• Provision of storm debris management/processing—Provides for
effective ongoing emergency storm debris management.
, o Provision of yard waste management/processing—Continues and .
encourages responsibility for improvements in organics management.
o Greene Tract issues-Addresses as necessary any remaining issues
pertaining to the County-owned 60 acre portion of the Greene Tract,
including enterprise fund reimbursement.
• Solid waste transfer and disposal Assigns responsibility and accountability for
providing environmentally responsible and economically viable/cost-effect&e
waste disposal solutions,involving other jurisdictions when feasible/beneficial
and providing opportunity for meaningful public input.
• Local goveuunent solid Waste advisory body—Necessity of a permanent advisory
body to represent citizens and the governments in local solid waste matters.
• Solid Waste Collection systems in Orange County,including Convenience
Centers- Consideration of cooperation, collaboration and/or consolidation
of waste collection operations among the jurisdictions.
• Sta.te waste planning and plan preparation/coordination—Clarifies centrally .
managed and coordinated State planning and reporting responsibilities.
• Provision of recycling and waste reduction services/programs—Continue County
leadership in recycling and waste reduction services,facilities and programs. i
• Long-term management of solid waste enterprise fund and programs/facilities
--Maintain system wide management of facilities and continue enterprise
fund financing utilizing diverse income steams,examples of which may be �
user fees,tipping fees,household fees,recyclable material revenues,etc.
