ORANGE COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS
A RESOLUTION RE-AFFIRMING THE ADOPTED FRAMEWORK FOR A COUNTY-WIDE
SOLID WASTE PLAN, SPECIFYING PERCENTAGES IN PER CAPITA WASTE REDUCTION
GOALS AND AUTHORIZING THE COUNTY MANAGER
TO SUBMIT THE SOLID WASTE PLAN TO THE STATE.
WHEREAS Orange County adopted in 1997 a general waste reduction plan framework as part
of its overall solid waste goals and also adopted specific waste reduction goals of 45% per
capita by 2001 and 61% per capita by 2006, and
WHEREAS, the State of North Carolina requires a solid waste management plan with specific
solid waste reduction goals for 2001 and 2006, and an update to those goals and plan every
three years, and
WHEREAS, the County actively participates in the County-wide waste reduction programs
through promotion of dropoff and curbside recycling and provision of other recycling services,
and
WHEREAS, the County has previously adopted a solid waste management plan framework that
includes waste prevention measures, collection programs, and processing methods described
in attachment A to this resolution, and
WHEREAS, successful implementation of a solid waste plan that meets the waste reduction
goals would also require cooperation and coordination with all the other local governments in
the County and other waste generators throughout Orange County, and
WHEREAS, Orange County may need to further regulate and control solid waste in order to
fully accomplish the waste diversion goals;
NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED by the Orange County Board of Commissioners that it
hereby reaffirms the framework and goals for a solid waste management plan as adopted
originally in 1997 and shown in attachment A, and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that Orange County continues to use a base year of 1991-92 to
calculate waste reduction against, and County-wide goals of 45% solid waste reduction per
capita by 2001 and 61% reduction per capita by 2006, and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that Orange County will continue to cooperate with other local
governments in Orange County in implementing a solid waste management plan that will
achieve these goals, and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Orange County Board of Commissioners authorizes the
County Manager to submit the solid waste plan to the State.
This, the 5th day of September, 2000.
