ORANGE COUNTY COMMISSION FOR THE ENVIRONMENT
DRAFT Summary of Meeting Fifteen , March 08 , 1999
Held in Orange County Southern Human Services Center, Chapel Hill , NC
(Prepared by Adhir Kackar, Planner I, Orange County Planning Department)
Members Present : Commissioner Alice Gordon, Annette Jurgelski, Loraine Kohorn, Rosalinda Lidh, Daniel Okun,
Richard Pratt, Kris Price , Lee Rafalow, and Jane Sharp-MacRae ,
Excused Absences : Roy Fortmann, William Glaze
Guests : R. J Beaty, News of Orange ; Slade McCalip , Orange County Planning Dept. ; Mary McDowell, Chatham
County Nuclear Issues Consultant; Paul Thames , Orange County Engineering Department .
Staff Present : David Stancil, Director Department of Environment and Resource Conservation and Adhir Kackar,
Planner I .
I. Call to Order
Chair Loraine Kohom, called meeting to order at 7 : 30 PM .
II. Consideration of Additions of Changes to the Agenda
The Commission approved that discussion of a CFE liaison to the Parks and Recreation Work Group be added to
agenda as Item IV .
ibilities as Chair of the Board of County Commissioners
Dr. Gordon informed the Commission that her respons
(BOCC) , require that she reduce her attendance at CFE meetings . Given this she would no longer be serving as
member of the CFE, rather she would be the BOCC liaison to the CFE .
III. Approval of January 11 , 1999 minutes
The following changes to minutes was approved.
Item 9 Review of Priorities from January was changed to read as follows : (change in bold)
Loraine Kohorn began discussion by asking CFE if they wanted to make any changes to the resolutions drafted at
the January meeting . Rafalow mentioned that he did not notice indicators as a priority Stancil remarked that the
SOCF Task Force is not doing any work with indicators . Instead the current thinking is to forward the report and
indicator assessment, to the towns and Orange County for further development. Annette Jurgelski asked if the
Commission would be assigning tasks . To this Stancil suggested that the CFE receive BOCC feedback and then
develop a draft work program . Kohorn agreed that input from the BOCC would be beneficial . Stancil concluded
comments, by suggesting that the CFE review the ERCD Status report in the next month to assist in determining
their priorities .
IV. CFE liaison to the Parks & Recreation Work Group
Chair Kohorn began discussion on the issue of whether CFE should liaison with the Joint Master Parks &
Recreation Work Group . The following is a summary of the comments made by CFE members and ERCD staff
during discussion of this matter . Discussion culminated with the approval of Loraine Kohorn as a CFE liaison to the
Joint Master Parks and Recreation Work Group .
Kohorn : The Master Park & Recreation group are in the process of prioritizing funds for land acquisition given this
CFE should consider a liaison .
Lidh : What is the meeting schedule for Park and Recreation meetings ?
Stancil. Parks & Recreation meets every 4th Wednesday at 6 : 00 PM
1
Gordon : It is important for CFE to have a liaison to the Work group . The Work Group is developing criteria for
open space and natural area acquisition . CFE presence in this process would be beneficial, particularly given that
once this criteria is developed, it may be binding .
Rafalow: Could you clarify the term binding?
Gordon : At present there is no clear definition of the term binding as it relates to the activities of the Work Group .
Stancil: The Work Group is in the process of developing a new parks and recreation plan . The plan will provide
clarification on language, for instance it will identify what open space is . At present I am trying to build a link
between parkland acquisition criteria and bond criteria. The draft plan is presently in bullet form, and will be
available in a week or so . I will cc a draft copy of the plan to the Commission.
Rafalow: My presumption is that regardless of whether CFE liaisons with the Work Group , we will have the
opportunity to review the plan, prior to BOCC approval .
Kohorn : Unless someone else wishes to do so, will serve as liaison.
IV. Approval of Wastewater Treatment Management Program Letter
During the February 9 , 1999 CFE meeting, Rosemary Summers and Ron Holdway of the Orange County Health
and Environmental Health Department made presentations on the expansion of the County ' s Wastewater Treatment
Management Program . In response to their presentation, William Glaze drafted a resolution, on behalf of CFE,
expressing support for the program . The purpose of discussion, was to consider revisions and approval of a CFE
resolution . Chair Kohorn opened discussion by highlighting that she had made revisions to the resolution . These
changes were suggested, given the Chair ' s belief that CFE support of the WTMP should focus upon on
environmental matters . To this Rafalow indicated his concern that the scientific expertise of the group was causing
them to hesitate addressing political issues . Kohorn replied that she agreed with Rafalow that the CFE should
consider political issues , but not without recognizing that they are doing so . CFE members : Kohorn, Rafalow,
Jurgelski, Price , Gordon and staff member Stancil, then revised and unanimously approved CFE resolution on the
WTMP . The resolution was submitted to the BOCC, c/o Dr . Alice Gordon on March 9 , 1999 , a copy can be found
in Appendix Be
V. County Resource Acquisition Program
David Stancil informed the Commission of the current status of the County ' s resource acquisition program . This
update followed outline (see Appendix C) provided by Stancil to the CFE . At the conclusion of his comments,
Stancil indicated that he would welcome any suggestions by the CFE by email . Following his presentation several
CFE members discussed the need for developing an accelerated resource acquisition program . The comments of the
Commission are outlined below .
Pratt: We need some kind of accelerated acquisition program, so that we can remain competitive with developers as
property comes on line .
MacRae : Does the Triangle land Conservancy have plans to hold onto land?
Jurgelski: Yes , that ' s what the Conservancy does .
Stancil: Having a quick response mechanism as part of the Resource Acquisition program is critical to the success
of a program .
Pratt: Is there a minimum parcel size , lower than which acquisition will not take place?
Stancil: There is no minimum size established, conservation will take place depending upon the attributes of the
property . Smaller parcels can have historic value .
Kohorn : There are small areas with biological value? What is the mechanism to act on priority sites ? Do things have
to go through the BOCC ?
Gordon : If areas were prioritized then the BOCC would want to approve everything as it was being considered for
conservation, but a quick response mechanism could be considered .
Pratt: Could eminent domain be used in the conservation?
Gordon . No , Resource Acquisition is a voluntary program . In fact one of the keys of the ERCD department is that
its programs are voluntary.
Stancil: I want to reiterate that I welcome CFE input on this process .
2
VI. Update on Nuclear Waste Storage Pools at Shearon Harris
Mary McDowell, nuclear issues consultant to Chatham County, reported to the CFE on the status of the proposed
expansion of the Shearon Harris facility . Discussion centered on the position of CP&L that Shearon Harris
expansion poses no new risk to public health and safety, and on organizing an effort to encourage other jurisdictions
and public officials to get involved in the issue . Below is a summary of the discussion .
Stancil: Before Mary begins speaking I want to remind the CFE that we have Dr. Gordon Thompson ' s report of the
NRC findings as well as CP&L ' s response .
McDowell: I am happy to be here . I have been working on the low- level nuclear waste issue for Chatham for 8 years
and began working on high level waste in June . Given changes on the Chatham board there is a possibility that I
may not be working on this issue after July . Gordon Thompson has shown in his report that the existing waste
storage pools pose a danger. The likelihood of an accident is not high, but the possibility remains, and this is
something that the NRC has not considered . The expansion of these pools will extend Shearon Harris ' s use for 90
years . Overall, we expect that water levels in the pools will drop . This has happened in the past at Shearon Harris,
although the levels have not been low enough for radioactive exposure . What is needed is for NRC to extend their
risk assessment to the pools and the reactor, this would benefit the nation and the area . Ultimately, you have greater
radioactivity in pools given the shifting of waste from the reactors to the pools . If water levels drop then there is a
risk of fire or of a zirconium steam reaction . The risk of both these accidents occurring is something that the NRC
hasn ' t looked into . the NRC sees the new pools as less dangerous as existing pools . Dr. Thompson ' s results are
logical and the issue of partial drainage in new pools should be examined, by both NRC and CP&L .
Gordon : How plausible is it to get CP&L to consider partial drainage issues ? They seem to be incredibly resistant to
change .
McDowell: Corporations , such as CP&L are concerned with their economic future, their public image , it is
important to involve the public and the media in pressuring CP&L .
Pratt: Does the Shearon Harris plant include back-up pump systems and other redundancies ?
McDowell: There are redundancies built- in the two heat exchanges , but they are not linked.
Pratt.* When facilities are designed a safety factor is incorporated . Changes to a facility are allowed only if the
safety factor is maintained .
McDowell: There are a bunch of technical questions that need to be resolved, but they (CP&L) do not need to place
rods in such a dense configuration .
Pratt: We need to find out how and if the safety factor changes if Shearon Harris expansion occurs .
Okun : In reading the Thompson report, expansion of the pools is reducing the safety factor. CP&L ' s actions were
cavalier . This is in the historical tradition of the nuclear industry . This issue requires a public hearing .
Pratt: My point is when the final safety report was prepared it was based on quantitative information . We need to
find out if the safety factor was changed and if so then formulate an engineering solution .
Okun : How costly and time intensive will such an endeavor be ?
Pratt: There is no doubt that it will be .
Gordon : When we (BOCC) got into it I was willing to hear information, but CP&L has claimed that they are
continuing existing policy, but they are clearly not doing so . The point is that that CP&L is not doing the same
thing, they are not letting the experts in . Are they trying to hide something?
Rafalow: Where are we in the process ?
Gordon : We have asked for a hearing in the legal manner from the NRC .
Rafalow: Has our congressional delegation been contacted?
Gordon : No .
Pratt: Have State officials been contacted?
Gordon : NC DENR has sent a letter to the NRC asking for a public hearing to be held.
McDowell: The Chatham chair asked DENR, Division of Radiation Protection (DRP) , to put money aside for
examining Shearon Harris . DRP has met with CP&L . I was at their meeting , during which CP&L explained how
under existing regulations they were not increasing risk. In private conversations with NC DRP, it appears that DRP
does not have the expertise to evaluate the Shearon Harris expansion . Given this , we may need to look toward UNC
to do an engineering analysis for us .
Pratt: What is the County ' s position?
3
Thames : On May 10 , 1999 there will be a prehearing conference in Rockville , Md . to determine if Orange County
has established standing . CP&L does not feel that Orange has in fact established standing, since the 50 mile radius
applies to reactor accidents and not waste storage pools .
Pratt: Why aren ' t Wake and other counties concerned?
Gordon : There are counties, other than Orange , which have expressed concern, but they haven ' t given money for
the effort to get a hearing .
Pratt: Wouldn ' t it be helpful to form a coalition?
Gordon : Yes , but it is costly.
Thames : We have asked every jurisdiction within 50 miles to call for a hearing .
Gordon : The county does not have enough staff to organize a multi jurisdictional effort.
Pratt: What if you sent Dr. Thompson ' s report?
Gordon : If we are to send anything, I prefer the News & Observer summary of the Shearon Harris expansion . We
have a tremendous amount of information, we could even set up a strategy session with Dr. Thompson . What we
lack is the staff to lead an organizing effort.
Price: Would a campaign change NRC ' s decision on standing?
Gordon : I do not know .
Rafalow: Can Representative Price and/or Senators Edwards and Helms help ?
Gordon : If they hold the purse strings .
Okun: We need to work with Wake and Raleigh officials to establish standing . Possibly we could get the nuclear
engineering department at NC State to assist.
MacRae : How possible is it that the Shearon Harris plant could be a terrorist target?
Gordon : I do not know . The question is what can we do ?
Jurgelski: We could ask environmental organizations, such as the Sierra Club to help .
Gordon : We could contact the Raleigh chapter of the Sierra Club, send a mailing to jurisdictions , hold a meeting,
but these endeavors take time .
Rafalow: I like the idea of the Sierra Club holding a forum or public hearing .
Jurgelski: I was thinking about the idea of contacting them via email .
Pratt: Shouldn ' t the state level catalyze local responses , we need to find someone with authority at the state .
Gordon : Does the CFE have any ideas about what to do ?
Kohorn : We need to find out some way to seize the interests of people .
Thames : There is a late intervention process where other jurisdictions can enter .
Kohorn : What is the possibility of other interests intervening ?
Gordon : People are not intervening because they do not have time or feel that this issue is over their heads .
MacRae: We need the Sierra Club to get involved.
McDowell: The Sierra Club is a good group . I think that it is worth having persons with scientific expertise to
intervene and evaluate the Shearon Harris proposal .
Gordon : I suggest that if the CFE wants to work on this issues then they should decide what they want to do .
Okun: What could be the role of the Environmental Management Commission? I could speak with David Moreau,
EMC head .
Gordon : Could Lee and Annette could contact the various Sierra chapters in Wake ?
Pratt: What is it that you want persons in the Sierra Club to follow up on ?
Gordon : Members could contact their jurisdictions and ask them to intervene, ask their political representatives to
send letters to the NRC .
VII. Further Discussion of 199 Goals/Tasks
This item was tabled by the CFE due to lack of time . Chair Kohorn asked individual members to look over the 1999
Goals/Tasks .
VM. Committee Meetings
All three committees met at 9015 PM. The Air Quality Committee was staffed by Slade McCalip and the
Environmental Education Committee was staffed by Adhir Kackar, both of the Orange County Planning
Department . David Stancil, ERCD director, staffed the Biological Resources Committee . Sessions lasted for 30
minutes at which time reports were given .
4
IX. Committee Reports
Kris Price informed the Commission that the Environmental Education Committee has revised an education
website . The new site contains new information on air quality, sustainable development . The site will be ready by
Friday March 12 , for review . CFE members wishing to make suggestions should direct them to Lee Rafalow by
March 19 ,
Jane Sharp MacRae, informed the group that the Air Quality Committee discussed the status of the County ' s bicycle
plan . Slade McCalip then summarized the details and status of the County Bike Plan. His comments are as follows :
The Bike Plan has been reviewed by the Orange County Planning Board . It is now being prepared to go to the
BOCC for consideration . The Planning Board has asked that a bike coordinator position and standing bicycle
committee be created . In addition they are asking that state bicycle legislation be updated, and that a map be created
showing all needed road improvements for biking . Presently, the roads in Orange County are too narrow for cars,
thus the bike plan calls for designated bicycle routes, with 12 -ft wide travel lanes and 4 ft paved shoulders .
Additionally, McCalip informed the group that an Air Quality Ozone Action Plan has been prepared and that is
awaiting approval .
Loraine Kohorn reported that the Biological Resources Committee has been brainstorming criteria for protecting
natural resource areas .
XI. Adjournment.
The meeting adjourned at 9 * 55 PM . The next meeting will take place on April 12 , 1999 at 7@30 PM in the Southern
Human Services Center, Homestead Road, Chapel Hill .

ORANGE COUNTY COMMISSION FOR THE ENVIRONMENT
DRAFT Summary of Meeting April 12 , 1999
Held in Orange County Southern Human Services Center, Chapel Hill , NC
(Prepared by Carol Crawford, Admin Asst. , Orange County ERC Department)
Members Present : . Roy Fortmann, Rosalinda Lidh, Kris Price, Richard Partt, Annette Jurgelski .
Excused Absences : Loraine Kohorn, Lee Rafalow, Dan Okun, Jane Sharp -Mac Rae, William Glaze .
Guests : Dr. Earl Fowler, County Resident.
Staff Present : David Stancil, Director, Department of Environment and Resource Conservation ; Adhir Kackar,
Planner I , Carol Crawford, ERCD Admin . Assist .
I. Call to Order
Vice Chair Roy Fortmann, called the meeting to order at 7 : 40 p .m .
II. Consideration of Additions of Changes to the Agenda
Additions to the Agenda:
1 . Proposed draft CFE Resolution on a Recommendation that Orange County Establish a Committee to Research a
Plan for the Use of Alternative Fueled Vehicles , Improved Fleet Maintenance, and/or Reduction of Vehicle
Miles Traveled to Reduce Source Emissions From the County ' s Vehicle Fleet ,
2 . CFE Objectives for l / l /99 — 6/30/200 .
III. Approval of March 8, 1999 minutes
Fortmann noted that, as there wasn ' t a quorum, a vote couldn ' t be taken on approval of March 8 , 1999 minutes , and
solicited changes for April . There were no suggested changes noted.
IV. Discussion of the Proposed Resolution .
Fortmann reported that Shape-Mac Rae had been working on a plan for alternative fueled vehicles , and that the Air
Quality Committee had wanted to submit an application for a grant to the state . Sharpe-Mac Rae worked hard on it
and on getting the background information . After looking at it, Fortmann indicated that he realized how naive we
really were . To do something like that, the group needs to have the County Manager and the Public Works Fleet
Maintenance involved in it. This is something beyond what Sharp -Mac Rae and Fortmann could coordinate . The
draft resolution asks the County Commissioners to request from the County Manager the establishment of a
committee that will take the next level of action to try to get a plan together for either alternative fueled vehicles or
improved fleet maintenance , generally things that will include reducing emissions . The members present suggested
that this (see attachment A) be sent to the CFE members and act on it at the next meeting .
Stancil suggested that after the CFE looks at it and adopts it, the County Manager could ask the already formed
Ozone Action Team to handle this . The Ozone Air Quality group consists of Stancil, transportation planner and
Paul Thames, County Engineer, possibly expanding to include some members from this group and possibly other
departments . Price asked if anyone knew the fleet size for the county . Fortmann indicated that information hasn ' t
been researched . Fortmann continued that Chapel Hill did get their grant application for alternative sources, a
rather large expenditure at over $ 100 , 000 . And added that it ' s not a small matter to try to do an alternative fueled
vehicles grant application . Initially when Sharpe-Mac Rae started doing research there were agencies within the
county who could use alternative fueled vans . The Public Works Department was actually opposed to the
alternative fueled vehicles, with concerns about maintenance . It was agreed that the CFE should build some
consensus on the need for this .
G : \CAROL\CFEMIMCFE4- 12 . DOC 1
V. Appointment of CFE liaison to Wastewater Treatment Monitoring Program Committee
Stancil led a discussion noting that in a past meeting Ron Holdway and Rosie Summers presented their
recommendations on this program . It is unknown exactly how and whether the Commissioners will propose
funding for this , but it may be some interest in partially beginning this year. There is also interest in revising the
program to take into account funding and the funding equity concerns that were raised here . Holdway indicated that
there is going to be a committee of staff and Board of Health members and other citizens that will be meeting in
another month, short term duration, to take a look at the program, and make some recommendations, before it
comes back again . The CEF has been offered the opportunity to have a liaison in that effort. Fortmann asked when
is it going to start? Stancil replied that it may be the end of April or early May . A question was raised about
existing liaisons and Stancil noted that Richard Pratt is liaison to Water Resources Committee and Loraine Kohorn
is liaison to Master Parks & Recreation Work Group . Lidh and Fortmann would be willing to coordinate on sharing
duties . Staff will report on meeting schedule .
VI. Update — Nuclear Waste Storage Pools at Shearon Harris
Stancil started the following discussion by noting that he had limited new information, but would fill the CFE in on
what information was known . A special meeting of the County Commissioners — called the Regional Forum was
held last week at the Chapel Hill Town Council Chambers , with about 125 people attending . Attendees heard from
both David Lochbaum with Union of Concerned Scientists and Consultant Dr . Gordon Thompson followed by a
panel discussion including two CFE members that are here tonight, Richard Pratt and Dr . Earl Fowler. There was a
good bit of discussion at the forum with questions from the audience and from the elected officials . A broad range
of elected officials was present from Guilford, Durham, Chatham, Lee counties , and other regional governments had
members present. Many concerns and questions were raised. CP&L ' s attorney was a member of the panel . Stancil
added that there is at least a tentative agreement that the pre-hearing conference will be held here in North Carolina
rather than in Maryland during the week of May 10th Wednesday, May 12' as a possible date for that. The
location was unknown at this time . He added that this is not a public hearing, but an opportunity for the Nuclear
Regulatory Commission to consider the concerns that have been raised and make decisions about that and CP&L ' s
response .
Pratt noted that one of his questions had more to do with an impact statement/study of the site similar to PSFAR
(Preliminary Safety Final Analysis Report) , and, stated that since the storage rods were not ever intended to be a full
time storage facility, it was a temporary situation, that there ought to be some means by which a more thorough
impact statement should be conducted. Pratt continued that, after the meeting he was approached by CP&L ' s
regulatory engineer, John Caves who will send information of some reports they have . Pratt continued that they
(CP&L) heard what the concerns were, and need to demonstrate that they ' ve looked at this and that it' s not just a
little addition they ' re going to do, and include a full impact study .
Price asked if people would be allowed to comment at the pre-hearing . Stancil replied that he didn ' t know if there
ill be an open meeting and that basically it is a consideration of
would be any comments taken, but suspect it w
Orange County ' s contentions and CP&L ' s response .
Pratt added he had researched through the NBC ' s web site to see if there ' s any type of documentation with regard to
doing studies on using the storage pools for permanent or even temporary storage of the rods , and there isn ' t much
at all . Fortmann asked why Wake County is not more interested? Pratt responded that he thought that most
governmental agencies defer to the NRC . They look to the federal agency , to being the number one and, if they ' re
not concerned, it ' s ok with them . Stancil noted that he would pass more information along as it ' s received.
VI. Update — Master Recreation and Parks
Stancil noted that the Joint Master Recreation & Parks Work Group have been meeting about a year now . It is a
very broad and large group with representatives from all the local elected boards including Hillsborough, Duke
Forest & UNC, OWASA, and the School Boards . Their charge is to update the Master Recreation & Parks Plans ,
but they also been asked to look into other areas , such as joint capital funding of new park facilities and acquisition
of land . That is one of the reasons Kohorn thought it would be good to get more up to speed with this effort as it ties
in the Resource Acquisition Program that the CFE will be developing . Stancil is now involved in this effort as well
to ensure that what this group comes up with is folded into the RAP and that both are consistent.
Pratt asked if Stancil had any contact with the Triangle Conservancy in its regard to the acquisition of the Johnston
Tract? Stancil answered that there has been some discussion and described the property .
G : \CAROL\CFEMIN\CFE442 . DOC 2
Pratt asked if that would be where the County could facilitate or provide some assistance in developing trails?
Stancil added that he has talked to Kate Dixon, executive director of TLC about coordination in that area.
Stancil added that the Master Recreation & Parks Group has expanded its scope in a few areas . One is re-visiting the
payment- in- lieu program , where new developments have the option to dedicate land for recreation purposes based
on a formula, or paying a fee in lieu . Which is then put into a pot of money for a certain geographic area and is held
for acquisition in that area. After twelve years a total of about $400 , 000 countywide has been accumulated which
isn ' t going to buy much land . There is a lot of interest in re-visiting how that program works : is it better to change
some of the standards or, is it better to take dedication of land? The Recreation & Parks Advisory Council advises
the board on this . Stancil continued that larger developments may put more emphasis in taking the dedication . On a
twelve-acre subdivision, the County might get a quarter to half of an acre, while on a five hundred-acre
development it ' s a different story . The work group has a partial draft of a plan that they are going to be
recommending including an open facilities policy (included in the agenda packet) . Possible recommendations
include .
A . Standardized Parks and recreation requirements among jurisdictions.
B . Joint siting, design, and management of school and park sites .
C . Public/private partnerships across jurisdictions .
D . Joint Capital Facilities Plan for Parks and Recreation . Which relates very much to the Resource Acquisition
Program . The new Land Resource position would help negotiate the acquisition of lands for Recreation and
Parks and well as for Natural Resource Preservation ,
E. Standing "Joint Recreation and Parks Council " A new council would be created a group that ' s going to meet
every few months to address any future follow-up and to maintain a database . An inventory has been created of
all recreational facilities in the county . A brochure and map will be developed at the end of this , to be available
to citizens of all Recreation & Park Facilities in the County and indicate the kind of activities that are permitted .
This group would also be the coordinating group for any future bond proposals .
F. Open Facilities Policy . To ensure that an Orange County resident can go to a Carrboro park and vice versa and
be able to use it.
The group had talked about using the CIP to recommend acquisition / joint acquisition methods and Paymentmmn
lieu . A report is expected by the end of May to go the elected boards and school boards . A draft copy will be in the
CFE agenda packet next month . Kohorn and Stancil will be going to the next meeting on April 28th .
Price asked if there is any integration between this plan and the bikeway plan ? Stancil added that there is no linkage
yet. At the previous County Commissioners meeting , the Commissioners did adopt the bicycle plan component to
the Comprehensive Plan . Commissioner Jacobs asked if there had been any integration of the bike plan efforts into
this project. The two groups have been on their own tracks and not looking into these areas . It is not likely that
there will be in the MRP work group because there is a big push to be finished in May . However, at the
implementation level after this MRP plan is approved, then, the bike plan would be considered and where they
mesh .
Jurgelski asked about coordination of school and park siting, and whether it is desirable to locate a park where a
school can use it for athletic facilities . Stancil noted that it is that plus to acquire all the land at one time and
possibly locate ball fields with lights . To try to put them in places that already have intensive activity might be
easier than to locate a park with lights adjacent to an existing neighborhood .
VIII. CFE OBJECTIVES
CFE Objectives January for 19994une 2000 were discussed as follows .
Stancil started by explaining that he had taken the list of High, Medium and Low Priority objectives that the CFE
identified in January, and listed the objectives and some staff thoughts on timing . He noted that the Commission
should feel free to agree with or toss out as it sees fit . This was developed with the BOCC goals comparing them to
the staff that will be working on these objectives and figuring out how they might fit into the overall scheme of
things . A copy of the objectives is attachment C to these minutes .
Jurgelski asked if the Biological Resources Committee had the draft Resource Acquisition Program outline ? Stancil
replied that it was handed out in a meeting or two ago in outline form .
Stancil reviewed the proposed objectives . Jurgelski asked who pays for water reclamation and what do they have
to do -put down a whole new section of parallel pipes ? Stancil indicated that in Durham ' s case it ' s only on pilot
basis and he assumed that city water customers are paying for it through their rate schedule and impact and acreage
fees on new taps . Okun had previously suggested using Finley Golf course and Meadowmount as test cases .
G :\CAROL\CFEMIN\CFE4 = 12 . DOC 3
Price stated that with the growth that ' s expected to occur in the County it ' s probably good thing to review water
reclamation as a long-term process . Stancil noted that it does take a long time to develop, as it is a long time
process .
Pratt noted one additional item in things that relate to the Department of Transportation and future roads and
highways with regard to expansion of I40 possible other corridors , would have an impact on all the other
environmental issues . Fortmann clarified by saying it was really monitoring that was the issue . Pratt continued
saying monitoring at the County level, activities at the state level, future regional planning that relate to
transportation need to be monitored somewhere . Those things planned long term could provide opportunity to have
some input by bringing to them programs that the County is looking at. For example, planning an outer loop that is
going through one of the most protected areas . The members agreed to add a new objective, Coordination and
Monitoring of Major DOT plans fitting into the priority scheme between low and medium . Fortmann noted that the
mandate should be to identify those type issues and make sure that the Commissioners are aware of them . Stancil
said he ' d prepare that as a draft medium objective for next time . He also noted that the Commissioners were to
formally review the goals the next evening at a work session, possibly giving some new areas they want to focus on .
Price asked if anyone could present information on development around Hillsborough . Stancil volunteered to do
that at the next meeting, with a good bit of material already presented recently . Jurgelski asked if this was in the
Town of Hillsborough . Stancil clarified that there are three initiatives that are in the Town ' s jurisdiction and two
others that are in the County ' s jurisdiction but the Town is involved. One is the Apex Northwest property on the
north side of Town, which is in the County ' s jurisdiction . And a development called Churton ' s Grove , which was
actually approved 10 years ago, is now with Hillsborough ' s water situation resolved coming on line . Finally, a
couple of new large scale proposals on the south side of Hillsborough, (one inside the corporate limits and one
between Old 86 and New 86 and 140 area) of several hundred acres which would be rather large developments .
Price wanted to see how those fit into the activity nodes . Stancil said that only one does .
IX. Commission Membership Report
Stancil noted that the BOCC did make three new appointments but still have vacancies to fill, and noted that, Bill
Glaze is going to be gone on a yearlong research effort abroad . Because of the timing that his term runs, he may not
be able to continue as a commission member. The new members appointed are Mary Jane Baker, Cara Krissler,
and Mark Smith
X. Committee Meetings
Fortmann noted that the air quality committee now consists of one , as Glaze and Sharp Mac-Rae are currently
inactive . The Biological Resources Committee and Environmental Education/Indicators Committees opted to
continue with informal breakout sessions .
XI. Committee Reports
The CFE members present agreed not to reconvene for committee reports .
XH. Adjournment
Fortmann adjourned the meeting at 9 : 00 , with Committee informal sessions to follow .

DRAFT
Proposed CFE Resolution on a Recommendation that Orange County Establish a
Committee to Research a Plan for the Use of Alternative Fueled Vehicles,
Improved Fleet Maintenance, and/or Reduction of Vehicle Miles Traveled to
Reduce Source Emissions From the County's Vehicle Fleet
BACKGROUND - The Triangle region , in which Orange County is located , has
elevated levels of ground - level ozone during the summer and may not be able to
meet a new national ambient air quality standard ( NAAQS ) for ozone established
by the U . S . Environmental Protection Agency ( EPA ) . The EPA has also
established a new NAAQS for fine particulate matter ( PM2 . 5 ) . A NAAQS also
exists for , carbon monoxide, a gas emitted by motor vehicles .
Gas-fueled and diesel -fueled vehicles emit air contaminants that contribute to the
degradation of air quality . Volatile organic compounds emitted from vehicles
result in ozone formation . Diesel vehicles emit particles .
Orange County maintains a fleet of vehicles in support of County services .
The fleet includes administrative vehicles, service vehicles, maintenance vehicles,
trucks, and construction equipment . The Countys fleet of vehicles emit air
contaminants during routine use .
There are a number of technical approaches available to reduce emissions of
volatile organic compounds, hazardous air pollutants, and criteria pollutants from
fleets of vehicles . Source emissions may be reduced by reducing the number -of
vehicle miles traveled . Improved vehicle maintenance may also reduce
emissions . Air quality may be improved by using vehicles that have lower
emissions due to either higher mileage efficiency or improved pollution controls .
Another approach is to use alternative fuel vehicles . Alternative fuel vehicles
currently available include those powered by natural gas or by electricity . In
selecting a technical approach for reducing emissions from a fleet of vehicles , the
advantages, limitations, costs, and benefits must be evaluated based on the type
and age of vehicles in the fleet, the vehicle miles traveled , distances traveled , the
usage pattern , and a variety of other factors .
The North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources awards
Mobile Source Emissions Reductions Grants each year to achieve reductions from
on - and off- road mobile source related emissions . The County of Orange is
eligible to apply for these grants . Applicants for the grants are expected to share
the cost for implementation , which can be substantial for efforts such as
purchasing alternative fuel vehicles .
WHEREAS, Orange County should attempt to reduce emissions of air
contaminants from its fleet of vehicles, and
WHERAS, there are a variety of alternative technical approaches available
to reduce fleet emissions, which must be evaluated specifically for the Orange
County fleet of vehicles , and
WHEREAS , development of a plan for reducing vehicle emissions requires
participation by a number of agencies and departments within the County,
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED
that the Commission for the Environment recommends that the Orange County
Board of Commissioners request that the County Manager set up a committee
of representatives from relevant County agencies , departments, and
commissions to conduct research on a plan for reducing emissions of air
contaminants from the . County's motor vehicle fleet . The Commission for the
Environment recommends that the committee evaluate use of alternative fuel .
vehicles, improved fleet maintenance, and other proactive or reactive actions
that might impact fleet emissions . The Commission for the Environment further
recommends that the committee research the feasibility of submitting a
Mobile Source Emissions Reduction Grant during the next application period .
Prepared by Roy Fortmann for discussion at the Commission for the
Environment meeting on April 12 , 1999M
