WATER -SEWER STUDY, PHASE II CONTRACT WITH CAMP, DRESSER AND MCKEE: Mr. Deal said he had discussed the captioned contract with CDM and had made them aware that the board was unhappy with Phase I of the study and would require a more quality product in the Phase II portion of the contract. Mr. Deal has meet with the CDM officials while he was in Raleigh on this date. INCINERATION OF SOLID WASTE: Mr. Deal said he had been talking for some time to C & H Waste Energy, a company from Mooresville who is working to develop an incineration system in Rowan County. C & H has a strong interest in this county providing waste to that facility. Mr. Deal said he believed it would be worth our time and would be appealing to transfer waste from our transfer station in Mooresville to the incinerator in Rowan County. The company has given Mr. Deal a copy of a contract that they used with another unit, and they are in the process at this time in altering this contract to make it applicable to the Iredell County situation. Mr. Deal wants to forward a copy of this contract to the county attorney for his review and to the county board for them to look it. Tentative quotation is $7.50 per ton for solid waste from the Mooresville Transfer Station. This can be transferred to the incinceration site and it would be no farther than the landfill destination. The county would save on the use of the landfill, extending the life of the landfill. It would be easier on the equipment to transfer to Rowan County. Mr. Deal believes this is well worth looking at and will bring more information to the board as soon as it is available. There are no specific dates at this time as to when the facility will be available. Tentative- ly they have said it should be in operation in 1987. They are presently working with the State on the permit. A firm contract is expected with a large company to use the steam for generating electricity by February 27th, at that time the plans would be certain. REPORT ON LAKE OWNERS GATHERED IN CONCERN (LOGIC) MEETING: Mr. Deal reported on the LOGIC meeting, saying that a group of Iredell County officials met with officials from the other counties that border on Lake Norman.
