ufye lailg Olar Hwl Transfer site ranks reordered BY EVAN ROSE ASSISTANT CITY EDITOR Commissioners received a new ranking of potential sites for Orange County’s waste transfer sta tion Tuesday night. The new list, drawn from criteria that include community concerns such as environmental justice, sig nificantly reorders the previous ranking. The new top four sites are located ucvt week. along a mile-long NtAl Wfcclv. stretch of N.C. Profiles of 54 near Orange some of the Grove Road, most-debated The Eubanks potential sites Road site, home for the station, to the county landfill since 1972, dropped four spots to No. 8. The two previously top ranked sites, which are in one of Hillsborough’s economic develop ment zones, fell to the fifth and sixth spots on the list. Both lists were generated by a consulting group, Olver Inc., which the board hired last November. The previous ranking met intense criticism from the public for only taking technical concerns such as site size and access to major trans portation routes into account. And commissioners had also objected, saying Olver strayed from the established plan by delaying consideration of how a site effects lan CLASSIC STV lan CLASSIC STV CAROLINA WEEK 8 5 A 7PN CAROLINA WEEK 8 7PM 7.30ph HIGHPHENATED 7.30ph NEW EPISODES OR lOpn MUSIC SEEN off the cuff GENERAL COLLEGE ■ma.ir.yd hyphenated lan CLASSIC STV KSSTstv CAROLINA WEEK 8 6 A 7PM * 730pn GENERAL COLLEGE RLUELITE DISTRICT p—MMjfcWM lAMtiklfWiaiq lan CLASSIC STV 1A " SBSRSI 5 A 7PM 11p " BLUELITE ois ™ ct 730 pm COMMON MEN BlilJliyVtei 9pn SANITATION GRADE B lOpn CAROLINA STYLE 2am CLASSIC STV Hpn LATE NIGHT STV ANYTHING GOES INCLUDING FIVE DOWN ________ AND THE RA -P i2an general college vwml 'B I/* 7.30pn OFF THE CUFF EDfffftl VclM// CAROLINA WEEK 8 7 A 9PM wwwuncstvorg Your World Hfcjt BECOME A TEACHER ,^| W-A % - If/.r, JMm BfehLlS ► * ' *c At the School of Education at UNC-Chapel Hill, we are proud to impact educational transformation in North Carolina, the nation, and the world.

Commissioners said they plan to cut the list to no more than three sites next week using both the old and updated rankings and gather public input on their selections. They also said they did not want to include Olver in the upcoming public comment period of the sit ing process. “People will feel like they have not been heard if they have to talk to somebody who talks to us,” Commissioner Moses Carey said. Although the board still plans to make a final decision Nov. 18, commissioners stressed that their priority is making the right choice rather than rushing the process. If the process extends into December, the final siting decision could fall in the hands of the new members of the Board of County Commissioners elected on Nov. 4. “It would be nice to have it done before we change boards,” Chairman Barry Jacobs said. “But I think it’s more important that we do it right” Once commissioners select a final site, they will follow the nor mal approval procedures for anew development, including a traffic impact analysis and an environ mental impact assessment. The siting process was opened in November, after commissioners scrapped original plans to locate the transfer station on Eubanks Road. ©iUNC 4saU I SCHOOL OF EDUCATION The siting process March 2007: The Orange County Board of Commissioners picks for a waste transfer station the site of current Orange County Landfill, which has been off Eubanks Road since 1972.

September: Board ads Olver Inc. to revise rankings of 10 poten tial sites using standards such as environmental justice and proxim ity to schools and park. Residents of that neighbor hood have advocated removing the Eubanks site from the list of potential locations since then. Carey said he might not be present at the board’s critical meeting next week. Nelson said he could be late. Jacobs said he, reluctantly, would be at next week’s critical meeting “In the interests of full disclo sure, I don’t have any conflicts that day,” Jacobs said. “But I sure wish I wasn’t going to be there.” Contact the City Editor at citydesk@unc.edu.

And Foy said applicants’ ability to represent different groups should carry more weight than race. He said Thorpe, an active mem ber of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, had long demonstrated his commitment to under-represented populations when he was elected. Foy said he expects the coun cil to appoint a person who can serve as a liaison to many minority communities, such as the growing Latino population. “I’m not Hispanic, but that doesn’t mean I’m not able to help represent the interests of my Hispanic constituents,” Foy said. “I think a demonstrated ability will be a heavy factor.” Mayor Pro Tem Jim Ward said the council has not yet laid out specific qualifications for the office CONGRESS FROM PAGE 3 ment student activity fee which is what Congress allocates to groups —and an increase for child care services.

The applications will probably be accepted through Oct. 31, but two-time candidate Will Raymond announced Sunday his intention to apply. The council likely will choose its new member next month. Mark Chilton, now Carrboro’s mayor, left his seat in 1998. Although Ward was among the applicants, the council eventually appointed Flicka Bateman for the position.

The joint working staff of several UNC officials and town officials presented guidelines for a development review process, including a timeline at a Sept. 25 meeting. Although the council raised a few concerns about how the development agreement would compare to a land-use permit, tonight’s meeting is meant to be a straightforward follow-up to the earlier meeting, Harrison said. Having regular meetings between the University and town ensures staffs can fill in all the nec essary details. But Evans said it is too early to know the details of the develop ment design. “This is about process,” Evans said. “We’re not talking about the details. We’re not at that point in the discussion.” Contact the City Editor at citydesk@unc.edu. 7
