IN RE: DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS - AUTHORIZATION OF LANDFILL SITING
ADVISORY COMMITTEE AND INTENT TO PROCEED WITH SITE SELECTION PROCESS AND
PRESENTATION OF FINAL RECOMMENDATION TO THE OAKLAND COUNTY BOARD OF
COMMISSIONERS FOR APPROVAL
TO THE OAKLAND COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS
Mr. Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS as currently recognized in the County of Oakland (the
"County") draft solid waste management plan future waste management
efforts will integrate a variety of processing and disposal methods.
This integrated plan will include waste reduction, recycling, volume
reduction and energy recovery through resource recovery incinerators, and
landfilling; and
WHEREAS the County recognizes that landfills will remain a
necessary component of an integrated solid waste management plan and that
the County's six operating landfills have less than five (5) years of
remaining capacity; and
WHEREAS the County has determined that existing landfill
resources are not adequate to handle non-processible solid waste, by-
passed solid waste, and incinerator ash generated by the municipalities
and, accordingly, has determined to locate a new sanitary landfill to
meet the needs of local units of government throughout the County for a
period of 40 years; and
WHEREAS the Oakland County Board of Commissioners and the Oakland
County Executive have determined to incorporate public participation into
the landfill site selection process, through the use of an advisory
committee composed of County residents; and
WHEREAS the consultant, Rogers Golden and Halpern, to the County
for the landfill site selection study has prepared the list of 25
residents from 146 applications received by the County, and the list has
been reviewed and approved by both the County Executive and the Chairman
of the Board of Commissioners; and
WHEREAS the Chairman therefore recommends the authorization of
this body of people to serve on the advisory committee.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED by the Board of Commissioners of the
County of Oakland as follows:
