JUN �� BOOK FAoF.2 2 <br />noted that the public workshop meeting held on Monday night, June <br />10, 1985, was the first of the two public hearings required by <br />the State and today's meeting is the second. Mr. Brooks <br />reviewed the criteria suggested by the Department of <br />Environmental Regulations and stressed that both of the proposed <br />sites meet that criteria. <br />Chairman Lyons felt it most important that everyone <br />understands what is going to happen at the designated transfer <br />station. <br />Mr. Brooks defined a "waste generator" as any type of <br />business in the County that generates 220 pounds or more per <br />month of such things as solvents from gas stations and painting <br />operations. Wastes would include pesticides, such as DDT, <br />chlordane and even battery acids, some of which will be recycled, <br />some disposed of at the landfill, and some stored at transfer <br />stations and later transported either to the County Landfill or a <br />designated State waste facility. He pointed out that until now <br />the small waste generator has not been controlled, but will be in <br />the near future after an amnesty period is declared to allow the <br />small generator and homeowners to get rid of anything that is <br />considered hazardous. <br />Mr. Brooks gave an excellent slide presentation of a waste <br />disposal center located at a landfill in Pompano, Florida, <br />explaining that eventually the remaining hazardous material is <br />hauled off to a site in Alabama. He pointed out that a facility <br />of this size is not feasible for our County, but officials at <br />this particular center indicated that they can handle the waste <br />for all of south Florida at this time. <br />Chairman Lyons opened the Public Hearing and asked if anyone <br />wished to be heard regarding the selection of the County Landfill <br />as Site #1. <br />46 <br />� r � <br />
