TO THE OAKLAND COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS
Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS on February 9, 1989, by Miscellaneous Resolution #
89038, the Landfill Siting Advisory Committee (LSAC) was created and
charged with the task of recommending a site for purchase by the County
for a sanitary landfill and an ash monofill disposal area to meet the
municipal solid waste disposal needs of Oakland County; and
WHEREAS LSAC has completed its task and has ranked the sites
identified by Rogers, Golden & Halpern in order of preference for
development, subject to test drilling to confirm the sites for geology
and hydrogeology criteria; and
WHEREAS LSAC has recommended that the two preferred sites
identified in LSAC's ranking process be simultaneously test drilled for
confirmation inasmuch as these two sites scored within 0.35% of each
other; and
WHEREAS the estimated cost to begin the confirmation process is
$200,000 which is recoverable from the sale of bonds; and
WHEREAS LSAO has recommended the adoption of landfill design
criteria and policies as outlined in its resolution adopted August 17,
1989.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of
Commissioners accepts the recommendations of LSAC and congratulates the
committee members on a task well done.
BE IT BE FURTHER RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of
Commissioners authorizes the Department of Public Works to direct its
consultant, Rogers, Golden & Halpern, to simultaneously confirm the
geology and hydrogeology of the two preferred sites and directs
Corporation Counsel to obtain site entry authorization for site
confirmation purposes and to begin preparatory work necessary for land
acquisition; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Com-
missioners hereby approves the expenditure of $200,000 from the Solid
Waste Unit Professional Service line item (4-10100-141-15-00-3128) for
activities necessary to begin the confirmation process which will be
recovered from the sale of bonds; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of
Commissioners will make the final decision on site purchase after
confirmation results are complete and a joint recommendation is received
from the County Executive and the Landfill Siting Advisory Committee.
