RESEARCH COMMENTARY (cont'd)
If landfills remain the only method of disposing of solid waste, and the quantity of waste remains fairly constant, the city and the county will need to
locate and develop 300-1200 acres by the year 2005. Once a site is selected,
it currently takes 3-4 years to. identify the major environmental concerns,
obtain permits, design, and develop the site. Therefore, if a site is selected
in 1987, it would be 1990-1991 before the landfill could be operational.
Therefore, it is recommended by this Committee that:
I. Because of the above voiced concerns relative to the Harrisburg
landfill, it is recommended that careful consideration be given
to these concerns before expanding said landfill. However,
should the decision be made to expand same, that it not be
expanded more than 150 acres beyond the current boundaries, which
such current boundaries shall include the proposed plus or minus
68 add itional acres.
2. The county diligently search for an additional landfill site or
sites immediately in what we suggest to be other oarts of the
county so that employee time and gasoline expense not be
expended by driving long distances to sites and so that neither
the east (Harrisburg Park area) nor the west (York Road area)
bear the entire burden of site locations.
3. The county seriously explore, along- with the city, the building
of a joint Resource Recovery Facility to incinerate solid waste
(we recommend formation of a joint city/county citizens committee
to study this project).
B. DRAINAGE
Increased urbanization has created many stornwater related problems
in the Charlotte area. Steps to alleviate these problems have not been taken
into consideration in planning prior to development in the past. A Public
Hearing on this subject was held by the sub-committee on August 10, 1982. Six
people attended with three of these speaking. One was to point out the flooding caused around the Independence Boulevard-Commonwealth interchange when the
Edwards Branch does not flow properly under Independence Boulevard.
The others were to point out the flooding between Arbor Way and Providence Road
of McMullen Creek. It was felt that some of the severity of this could be eliminated with larger pipes under Arbor Way to carry more water downstream faster,
eliminating some of the back-up currently affecting property owners from Providence to Arbor Way.
Research pointed out a study by the Army Corps of Engineers in 198! recommended
an expenditure of S23,154,220 and that 205 homes be demolished. The Engineering
Department proposal would expend $7,465,263 and did not propose demolishing any
homes.
