7L0N CONTROL RESOLUTION CONSIDERED: Mr. Carson Fisher
addressed this subject. The resolution has been put together by a
coalition of solid waste professionals who are concerned about the
solid waste flow control and how the lack of solid waste flow could
affect the solid waste facilities in North Carolina, especially
those who are operated by governmental regulations.
The point in the adoption of this resolution is to ask the U.
S. Congress to take up the issue and decide whether flow control is
an issue that can be approved through the Constitution; and if not,
ask them to make that change too.
Ron Weatherman said what this resolution is asking is that the
General Assembly stick with the facts and that each county
government have a right to decide what they will do with their
waste. Sixty-five counties have already signed this resolution, he
said.
Commissioner Boone inquired if there would be any objection to
removing recyclable materials from the resolution.
MOTION from commissioner Boone to amend the resolution to
insert the words being provided the municipal solid waste will not
include recyclable materials.
