IN RE: SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM - LANDFILL COMPONENT
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Mr. Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS since announcement of candidate 40-year landfill sites for County ownership (to be
used by the proposed Oakland County Solid Waste Management System) in August of 1989, many questions
and issues have been raised regarding the wisdom of selecting a single site for the disposal of all
of Oakland County's municipal solid waste; and
WHEREAS traffic impacts on contiguous neighborhoods and along roadways connecting to the
County's high -capacity primary road system, especially during the System's early years of operation,
are of major concern; and
WHEREAS transportation and haul costs which would be incurred by the System will be
unnecessarily high since a majority of the proposed sites are far removed from the centers of waste
generation; and
WHEREAS the addition of a single, 40-year capacity County-owned landfill site to the
existing, designated and proposed private sector landfills would create a landfill capacity
potential far in excess of the County's needs, thus exposing the County to the direct and immediate
threat of becoming a large net importer of municipal solid waste; and
WHEREAS the System's bond underwriter indicates that Oakland County's proposed Solid Waste
Management System will require that guaranteed landfill capacity must be in place at the time of
bond sale for a recommended minimum period of 7-10 years in order to achieve the most favorable bond
interest rate; and
WHEREAS it is contemplated that System bonds will be ready for issuance by mid -1990 and
the System's landfill needs must be satisfied by that time.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED by the Oakland County Board of Commissioners, as follows:
r l. The Board of Commissioners hereby declares its intent:
A. to eliminate, from the Update of the Oakland County Act 641 Solid Waste Management
Plan, the concept of a single, 40-year capacity, County-owned landfill site to serve the needs of

the system;
B. to withdraw -from active colideration the previously identified candidate sites for

C. to have the System's landfill needs for at least the first 7-10 years of System
operation met by contracted ceo&city arrangements with one or more privately owned landfills that
meet the desical, construction and operational standards approved by the Board of Commissioners per
the attached appendix;
D. to take appropriate steps during the process of approving the Act 641 Plan Update
to insure that the County does rot Gltiately become significant net importEr of waste;
E. to have Lhe System's ultimate landfill needs met through the acquisition and
development. of County -owned aildfills meeting tle criteri,A in the preamble to thc,s., ResolviH which
would be brought on line at stich time as mportation cohsidertions and System economics dicto; and
2. The Coolty Executive is he:.foy authorized and Cirected to commence negotiations with
