Sherman Reed, member of the Hazardous Waste Committee of the <br />Treasure Coast Regional Planning Council, believed staff has done <br />0 <br />a thorough job of analyzing the problem, and expressed his <br />support of the selection of the County Landfill for Site #1. <br />John Amos, representing the Indian River Farms Water <br />Control, voiced no objection to the selection of Site #1 after <br />being assured that all hazardous wastes would be hauled off <br />somewhere else after being held only temporarily in Indian River <br />County. <br />Reverend Wright, Pastor of St. Peter's Missionary Baptist <br />Church, asked if the Board is deferring discussion on the Gifford <br />site pending further investigation, as he wished to voice the <br />adamant objection the people of Gifford have to the Gifford site <br />being designated as the second site and suggested that the Public <br />Hearing on that site be held in the evening when more Gifford <br />residents can attend, such as they did at last Monday's public <br />workshop meeting. <br />Ralph Lundy, Gifford, suggested that consideration be given <br />to other sites in the County other than the Gifford site and then <br />schedule another public hearing to reach a decision. <br />Commissioner Scurlock believed that was the direction the <br />Board would take, but felt there would be considerable objections <br />raised to whatever transfer site is selected in the County. He <br />stressed that the Gifford site is not being rejected today, but <br />will be given the same consideration as other possible sites. <br />Reverend Ora, Pastor of Mt. Sinai Baptist Church, commended <br />the Board on the selection of the County Landfill as Site #1 and <br />also complimented staff on the excellent presentation of the <br />Pompano waste station. He pointed out that the Pompano site is <br />located near the Turnpike on Sample Road and is one-half mile <br />away from any homes. He hoped that Site #2 would also be located <br />47 <br />1 JUN 12 195 <br />BOOK F'.ur. 2,33 <br />
