APPOINTMENT BEFORE THE BOARD
Mr. Jim Woodie Presents the Three -Year Update to the Ten -Year Iredell County
Solid Waste Management Plan & Requests that a Resolution be Adopted Approving the
Update: Jim Woodie, with the Municipal Engineering Company, said the Ten -Year Solid Waste
Management Plan was mandated by the State of North Carolina and three-year updates were
required. He said the plan included all of the municipalities in the county, and it described
methods of source reduction, collection, recycling/reuse, and educational components for the
general public and school-age children. Woodie said the county's method of disposal was a
Subtitle D landfill, and the site accepted some "specialty" wastes such as tires, white goods,
motor oil, household hazardous wastes, and lead acid batteries. Mr. Woodie said disaster
response materials or "green wastes" were also accepted when flooding, hurricanes, or severe
storms occurred in the area. He said that in a year's time, 170,000 tons of solid waste were
disposed of at the landfill, and this ranked Iredell County as the 111h highest waste management
facility in the State. Mr. Woodie said there had been a 7.3% reduction in waste disposal since the
county's plan was adopted in 1997. He also said the county had a litter control officer who
helped in the prevention of illegal dumping and littering.
OTIO by Commissioner Tice to adopt the resolution approving the three-year update
to the Ten-year Solid Waste Management Plan.
VOTING: Ayes - 5; Nays - 0.
