INFORMAL COMMENTS: The following individual appeared before the Board to make informal comments: Mr. Lacy Winstead of 279 Knolls of Hyco, Roxboro requested the Board to reconsider the action to spend almost $500,000 for a study at this time. Mr. Winstead stated the Board should not spend $500,000 on anything and it would not be in the best interest of the taxpayers of Person County. 4 November 19, 2012 2 APPROVAL OF MINUTES: A motion was made by Commissioner Jeffers, seconded by Vice Chairman Puryear, and carried 5-0 to approve the minutes of October 29, 2012 and November 5, 2012. TAX ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT: A motion was made by Commissioner Blalock, seconded by Commissioner Jeffers, and carried 5-0 to approve the Tax Administrative Report noting the Releases for the month of October, 2012. OLD BUSINESS: PERSON COUNTY NON-SMOKING ORDINANCE: Health Director, Janet Clayton reminded the Board of Commissioners of the Community Health Assessment completed last year with the top four leading causes of death in Person County are related to smoking, one of which is lung cancer. Ms. Clayton presented to the Board the proposed Person County Non-Smoking Ordinance revised to address Parks and Recreation grounds as directed during the Board’s November 5, 2012 meeting noting all other properties will be addressed by the Board of Commissioners on a case-by-case basis to be included as an appendix to the proposed ordinance. Ms. Clayton read and highlighted the revision under Section 2 (a) Smoking prohibited. No person shall smoke, carry or possess a lighted cigar, cigarette, pipe or other lighted smoking equipment or paraphernalia in any Person County buildings, in Person County vehicles or within 50 feet of any recreation, health, and wellness amenity. All other county properties will be regulated on an individual basis as determined by the Board of Commissioners. These properties will be included as an appendix to this Ordinance. Ms. Clayton noted Appendix A was placed at each Board member’s seat prior to the meeting. Ms. Clayton noted in Section 2 (c) Exception the authority is outlined under item (c) designated areas which are 50 feet from any recreation, health, and wellness amenity and are approved by the Person County Recreation Advisory Board. Ms. Clayton requested the Board: 1) To review the revised proposed Person County Non-Smoking Ordinance and to schedule a public hearing for community input if so desired, and 2) To determine a timeframe to address the remaining County facilities. Vice Chairman Puryear stated his support to address the designated areas at recreation facilities individually. 5 November 19, 2012 3 Commissioner Jeffers stated support of the proposed ordinance as presented to give the authority to the Recreation Advisory Board to designate smoking areas 50 feet from the recreation amenity inside each park. Commissioner Jeffers recommended for the Board not to take action related to the county facilities listed in Appendix A unless the county department(s) request such of the Board. County Manager, Heidi York added the initial intention of the proposed ordinance was to cover all county properties. Commissioner Kennington noted his support to get the smokers away from the doorways and recommended the Board to address each facility and make a determination. Commissioner Blalock confirmed the Board of Health Rule from 2008 that the setback for the Human Services facility is 35 feet due to the retail neighbors with the Health Director. Commissioner Blalock suggested each facility manager recommend to the Board a designated area for smoking if warranted. County Attorney, Ron Aycock stated the Board has no legal requirement for a public hearing noting the Board certainly could hold a public hearing, if desired. Mr. Aycock further noted the Board could take final action without holding a public hearing. A motion was made by Vice Chairman Puryear, seconded by Commissioner Jeffers, and carried 5-0 to set a public hearing date to receive feedback from the general public on the Person County Non-Smoking Ordinance. It was the consensus of the group to schedule the public hearing date in January, 2013 with a definitive date scheduled upon the adoption of the 2013 Schedule of Meetings at the Board’s December 3, 2012 meeting. NEW BUSINESS: ORDINANCES RELATED TO REGULATING UNREGISTERED MOTOR VEHICLES, AUTOMOBILE GRAVEYARDS, AND JUNKYARDS: Commissioner Kennington noted he had a request from Mr. Kenny Rickman to address the Board of Commissioners related to the ordinances regulating unregistered motor vehicles, automobile graveyards, and junkyards. The Ordinance Requiring Unregistered Motor Vehicles to be Screened from Public View was last adopted January 18, 2011 and the Ordinance Regulating Automobile Graveyards and Junkyards was adopted September 21, 1987 with an amendment adopted on January 4, 1993 (a copy of both ordinances were included in the Board packet). Commissioner Kennington asked Mr. Rickman to share his comments with the Board. Mr. Rickman requested the Board to consider placing the authority for enforcement upon another department other than the Sheriff Department, to consider receiving complaints from citizens anonymously and to have separate ordinances for junk cars, junk yards and antique cars. Mr. Rickman spoke to the potential safety issues and economic impacts on the County by not enforcing the ordinances. 6 November 19, 2012 4 Commissioner Kennington noted the reorganization of the Person Future’s Strategic Plan committees and stated his support of the Protect Our Land committee to review the ordinances and make recommendation to the Board of Commissioners. Commissioner Blalock noted support to take the authority from the Sheriff’s Department as well as to have a committee, i.e. Protect Our Land committee, survey the county in its entirety. Commissioner Jeffers asked the County Manager about enforcement noting his preference to address the issue of enforcement prior to changing the ordinance. County Manager, Heidi York noted when this topic was discussed previously; she had proposed a new position for an Enforcement Officer. Without the new position, Ms. York indicated the Planning Department may be a department that could possibly be tasked with enforcement. It was the consensus of the Board for the County Manager to review enforcement of the ordinances as well as consider receiving complaints anonymously. Ms. York stated she would meet with the Sheriff to further discuss noting her recommendation may not be any different from previous discussions to hire a part-time staff due to small staff resources available which prohibits the ability to enforce County ordinances. Commissioner Jeffers stated opposition to hiring a new staff for complaint based enforcement suggesting to model similar to the complaints received in the Planning Department. Commissioner Blalock asked Ms. York to follow up her review with the committee to assess the scope of the issue. TAXPAYER REQUEST FOR REFUND (TAX RECORD 17055): Tax Administrator, Russell Jones informed the Board that taxpayer Christopher & Christy Harris of 268 Cardens Cove, Timberlake appealed their tax value for 2012. After viewing the property, it was determined that the Tax Office had entered the measurements of the Harris’ home incorrectly and the Tax Office made the corrections as appropriate for the 2012 tax bill. Mr. Jones stated a written request from the taxpayer is required for consideration of a refund of the taxes that have been overpaid. On October 30, 2012, the taxpayer, Christopher & Christy Harris of 268 Cardens Cover, Timberlake submitted such request for a refund of the taxes that had been overpaid due to the Tax Office error. Mr. Jones stated the Tax Office reviewed the error and determined that the error was a clerical error on the part of the Tax Office noting General Statute 105-381(a)(1) allows for a refund of up to 5 years, if approved by the Board of County Commissioners. Mr. Jones further noted the error resulted in an overcharge of 814 sq. ft. and a value that was $63,483 overstated resulting in a tax overpayment of $444.38 annually. 7 November 19, 2012 5 Mr. Jones requested Board approval of a refund in the amount of $2,221.90 ($444.38 x 5 years) for taxpayer, if appropriate. A motion was made by Commissioner Blalock, seconded by Vice Chairman Puryear, and carried 5-0 to approve a refund in the amount of $2,221.90 ($444.38 x 5 years) for taxpayer, Christopher & Christy Harris of 268 Cardens Cove, Timberlake. CONSIDERATION OF APPROVAL OF LATE EXEMPTION APPLICATIONS: Tax Administrator, Russell Jones told the Board that every year, the Tax Office receives applications for the Senior, Disabled, Veteran, and Circuit Breaker exemptions that fail to meet the June 1st deadline. In an effort to help inform the public of these exemptions, the Tax Office mailed information along with the listing forms to 6,000 citizens. Mr. Jones noted the Tax Office also developed brochures for all three exemption programs which made these programs easier to understand, and passed out over 500 copies. Mr. Jones stated Person County currently has 754 properties that are receiving benefit from these exemptions, which does not include the 11 applications that are submitted for Board consideration for approval. Mr. Jones stated the efforts made by the Tax Office resulted in 76 new applications, with 49 approved applications, 16 denied applications (12 were over the income limit, 2 were not 65 as of January 1st, 1 was not 100% disabled, and 1 did not own their home). The remaining 11 were received after the named deadline and deemed late applications. Mr. Jones noted the 11 late applications would have been approved if they had been submitted to the Tax Office by June 1st as the applications met all requirements, however due to the receiving after the deadline; the Tax Office was not eligible to approve. Mr. Jones stated the Board of Commissioners may approve late applications if they are received by December 31st. Mr. Jones highlighted a spreadsheet that outlines the tax impact and the reasons for the late applications noting he did not include the applications since they include social security numbers and income information. Mr. Jones recommended Board approval of the 11 applications before the Board for consideration. A motion was made by Commissioner Jeffers, seconded by Commissioner Blalock, and carried 5-0 to approve the following 11 applications for tax exemptions: 8 November 19, 2012 6 Taxpayer Application Type Application Date Reason for Late Application Map Number Blalock, Franklin & Joyce Elderly 7/31/2012 Did not know deadline A97 25A Bradsher, Melba Elderly 6/11/2012 Did not know deadline 30 16 Cover, Dennis D Disabled 8/14/2012 Waiting on Doctor 66 48 Hubler, Fredrick D Veteran 6/7/2012 Waiting on VA A13 126 Kimball, Justice & Christian Disabled 6/16/2012 Waiting on Doctor A72 212 Lindsey, Mary June Elderly 8/20/2012 Waiting on Accountant A64 538 McCrimmon, Charles W Jr Veteran 9/4/2012 Waiting on VA A73 96 Scoggins, Patricia F Elderly 6/20/2012 Lost in Mail A76 113 Stewart, Sharon K Disabled 8/10/2012 Waiting on Doctor 124 8 Taylor, Harvey & Linda Veteran 8/27/2012 Waiting on VA A99 1A 3 Wrenn, Joyce P Disabled 9/29/2012 Did not know deadline 51 34 UTILITY EASEMENT REQUESTED BY PROGRESS ENERGY: County Manager, Heidi York informed the Board that due to the planned 501 Bypass that will be constructed up NC49 North by the new School Bus Garage, the new 6 lane road will require that the utility lines are relocated onto and over Person County property. The utility lines will be relocated about 20 feet from their current position, which will place the new utility lines near the current fence, along the roadside. Larry King and the Board of Education have approved the relocation referenced on Exhibit A included in the Board packet. Ms. York stated that since the property is still owned by Person County, approval must also be provided by the Board of County Commissioners. Ms. York recommended the Board approve the easement requested by Progress Energy. A motion was made by Vice Chairman Puryear, seconded by Commissioner Jeffers, and carried 5-0 to approve the utility easement as requested by Progress Energy as presented. 9 November 19, 2012 7 10 November 19, 2012 8 CHAIRMAN’S REPORT: Chairman Clayton explained to the group the Board’s processes in which Public Comments are received as well as the discussion by each of the Board members during each agenda item prior to action.

The City of Roxboro adopted a resolution supporting the Ten Year Solid Waste Plan at their Nov.19th meeting. In order for the county to receive funding for the electronics recycling program the BOCC must adopt the plan by Dec 31st. In order to adopt the Solid Waste Plan, the BOCC must adopt the attached resolution supporting the Plan. Recommended Action: Adopt the Resolution Accepting and Endorsing Person County’s Solid Waste Management Plan of 2012 Submitted By: Sybil Tate, Assistant County Manager 17 10 Year Solid Waste Management Plan July 1, 2012-June 30, 2022 Person County and the City of Roxboro Sybil Tate Assistant County Manager 325 S. Morgan St, Rm 211 Roxboro, NC 27573 December 2012 state@personcounty.net 18 1 1 10 Year Solid Waste Management Plan, Person County and the City of Roxboro Executive Summary Given the fact that everyone is responsible for the waste that they generate, and that proper disposal of that waste is also the responsibility of the waste generator, this document is created to give citizens knowledge, then guidance and finally ownership of that responsibility. NC General Statute 130A 309 09 A states that, “Each local government shall develop a 10 year comprehensive solid waste management plan to make a good-faith effort to achieve the state’s goal of a 40% MSW reduction goal.” In FY2006, Person County and the City of Roxboro set a goal of reducing waste to .76 tons per capita (5% diversion rate) by 2012 and .736 tons per capita (8% diversion rate) by 2019. As of FY2011, Person County and the City of Roxboro generated .9 tons on a per capita basis. Official State data for FY2012 has not yet been released; however, staff estimates that Person County and Roxboro generated .95 tons on a per capita basis in FY2012. Since Person County most likely will not achieve the goal set for 2012, this report recommends that we look hard at ways to achieve the state goal of a 40% diversion rate. The new goals will be .59 tons per capita (26% diversion rate) by 2015 and a .47 tons per capita (41% reduction rate) by 2022. This means 8,438 tons should be diverted annually by 2015 and 14,688 tons annually by 2022. This plan introduces new programs to achieve these goals. The following are some of the programs put forth in this plan:  Explore county-wide recycling initiative programs  Buy-back programs for metal and cardboard  Hospital recycling program  Offer an annual household hazardous waste drop-off day  Create economic development incentives for businesses engaged in recycling  Begin shingle recycling program  Offer waste audits for businesses  Encourage recycling in the City of Roxboro, Person County, industries, schools, etc  Recognize those who are currently recycling and encourage those who are not  Offer recycling opportunities consistently (ie. at businesses and events)  Create a recycling education program  Increase residential recycling through the school recycling grant program  Offer assistance with a church-sponsored Recycle Buddy program  Open liquid recycling station for cooking oil, motor oil and antifreeze Despite the fact that Person County did not achieve its previous goals, the Person County Recycling Center (PCRC) increased the amount of materials recycled from 1,405 tons in FY11 to 1,658 tons in FY12. PCRC anticipates tonnage to grow in FY13 and expand further once a new facility is located or the existing facility is upgraded in FY14. With great expectations for what our county can do with a progressive spirit, we look forward to the challenge of achieving our waste reduction goals. 19 2 2 10 Year Solid Waste Management Plan, Person County and the City of Roxboro This Page Intentionally Left Blank 20 3 3 10 Year Solid Waste Management Plan, Person County and the City of Roxboro Contents Executive Summary ........................................................ 1 Contents ......................................................................... 3 SECTION 1 – Local Contacts and Waste Mgmt Map ....... 4 SECTION 2 – Public Participation .................................... 4 SECTION 3 - Waste Characterization .............................. 5 SECTION 4 - Waste Reduction Goal ................................ 9 SECTION 5 - Waste Handling Characterization ............. 12 SECTION 6 - Assessments and Actions ......................... 13 SECTION 7 – Solid Waste Management Costs .............. 20 SECTION 8 – Emergency Debris Management ......... ... 21 SECTION 9 – Resolutions .............................................. 21 SECTION 10 – Ordinances ............................................. 21 SECTION 11 – Appendix ................................................ 23 21 4 4 10 Year Solid Waste Management Plan, Person County and the City of Roxboro SECTION 1 – Local Contacts and Waste Management Map Below is a list of individuals responsible for solid waste management in Person County and the City of Roxboro.

This tonnage includes MSW (56.67%), Construction & Demolition (C&D) (8.46%), Industrial (28.30%), household recyclables (3.63%), tires (1.27%) and yard waste (1.66%). Eighty-six percent of the total waste stream was brought to the Upper Piedmont Environmental Landfill to be landfilled. The table below illustrates how each type of waste was handled in FY11. Figure 1. Person County's FY2011 total waste stream Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) Stream Person County has not conducted a waste audit recently, so it is impossible to determine the exact characteristics of Person County’s MSW. Instead, the county relies on the EPA’s MSW characterization chart from 2010 to estimate the types of MSW generated in Person County and Roxboro. According to the EPA’s data, approx. 69.3% of MSW is recyclable (paper, plastics, metals, glass), 27.3% is compostable (food scraps and yard trimmings) and the remaining 3.4% can be landfilled (other). Within the “Recycled” category a small percentage of the items may not be able to be recycled in Person County and would have to be landfilled. The EPA defines MSW as “everyday items we use and then throw away, such as product packaging, grass clippings, furniture, clothing, bottles, food scraps, newspapers, appliances, paint, and batteries. This comes from our homes, schools, hospitals, and businesses.” MSW does not include hazardous, construction and demolition, land clearing/ inert debris, or industrial waste. Please note that the EPA’s definition of MSW differs from the State’s definition, in that C&D and some Industrial waste is included in State MSW calculations. For the purposes of having an accurate comparison, staff has removed C&D and Industrial wastes included in the State calculations. 0 5000 10000 15000 20000 25000 30000 35000 Landfilled Recycled Composted FY2011 Waste Stream C&D Industrial MSW Tires MRF Recycling Yard Waste Figure 2. EPA 2010 MSW Waste Characterization 23 6 6 10 Year Solid Waste Management Plan, Person County and the City of Roxboro The charts below show how Person County’s MSW characterization and waste streams compare with the EPA’s MSW waste characterization findings. In other words, Figure 4. shows how much MSW Person County landfilled, recycled and composted in FY2011 and Figure 5. shows approximately how much MSW could have been landfilled, recycled and composted based on the EPA’s 2010 waste audit. Comparing these two charts shows that there is ample opportunity to divert additional MSW from the landfill through increased recycling and diversion of biodegradable items. Figure 3.

The graph below shows a breakdown of industrial waste streams and C&D wastes over a four year time period. Fly ash, C&D and plant trash make up the majority of the remaining waste stream. Fly ash has increased significantly over the past two years due to an increase in energy production in Person County. Also note that sludge has been absent from the waste stream since FY10. Figure 5.

The chart below illustrates the materials that make up the industrial waste stream. Figure 6. Industrial waste characterization Unfortunately, it is impossible to get an accurate account of how much and what type of waste each industry is bringing to the landfill because many industries hire private haulers to bring their waste to the landfill. However, below is data that shows some of the larger industrial waste generators. Name Material FY10 tonnage FY11 tonnage Capital Power Ash 8,637.14 5,346.93 US Flue Cured Tobacco Tobacco residue 1,270.20 1,615.16 Eaton Corp.

The previous plan set a 5% reduction goal for June 2012 (.76 tons per capita or 29,422 tons) and an 8% (.736 tons per capita or 29,953 tons) goal by June 2022. Since the FY2012 data from the State has not been released, staff cannot determine the exact tons per capita; however, based on preliminary data the county will send more than 37,235 tons in FY2012 to the landfill. The table below outlines shows the previous goal calculation and the new goal calculation: Previous Goal New Goal GOAL CALCULATIONS FY2012 FY2019 FY2015 FY2022 1.

The increase in the tons per capita from FY10 to FY11 appears to be due to additional C&D tonnage from a tornado and an increase in fly ash production. 27 10 10 10 Year Solid Waste Management Plan, Person County and the City of Roxboro The chart below shows the baseline of .8 tons per capita, which was based on FY1992 waste data, compared with the county’s actual tons per capita from FY2003-FY2011. The graph also shows the FY2015 and FY2022 goals as set forth in this report. Figure 7. Actual per capita and future per capita goals Reduction strategies Below is a list of strategies that Person County and the City of Roxboro will pursue to divert waste from the landfill. It is important to note that these strategies would help us achieve our goal based on a .8 tons per capita rate. Since our actual diversion rate for FY2011 was.9 tons per capita, we may need to implement more strategies to reach our goal. However, since the per capita rate can vary greatly based on storms or increased industrial activity, staff has chosen to use the .8 tons per capita rate as the starting point for reduction. The Person County SWAC identified additional waste diversion strategies at the Sept. 6th meeting. These strategies are labeled in the table below with “(SWAC).” Strategy description Responsible Party Estimated tons diverted Timeline Increasing household recycling through outreach and events Person County PCRC 500 2015 Second pick-up at schools (SWAC) PCRC and schools 42 2014 Buy programs for metal and cardboard (SWAC) PCRC and industry 875 2015 Waste audit of City offices (SWAC) PCRC, City of Roxboro 15 2013 Hospital recycling program (SWAC) PCRC, hospital 100 2013 Explore county-wide recycling initiatives (SWAC) County Commissioners 3000 2015 Tie economic EDC, Commissioners 2000 2013 0.59 2015 goal 0.47 2022 goal 0 0.2 0.4 0.6 0.8 1 1.2 Tons per capita Tons generated per capita and future diversion goals 28 11 11 10 Year Solid Waste Management Plan, Person County and the City of Roxboro development incentives to recycling (SWAC) Waste audit of City of Roxboro's waste stream (SWAC) PCRC, City of Roxboro 500 2013 Increase school and community college recycling through waste audits Person County PCRC, schools and community college 50 2013-2015 Increase community recycling through school grant program Person County PCRC and schools 100 2014-2015 Open liquid recycling station for cooking oil, motor oil and antifreeze Person County PCRC 5 2013-2015 Begin shingle recycling program PCRC 125 2014-2015 Increase small business/industrial recycling through waste audits PCRC 125 2015 Encourage recycling in Roxboro City of Roxboro 1000 2013-2015 Offer an annual household hazardous waste drop-off day PCRC 1 2014-2015 TOTAL 8,438 July 2015 Increase household recycling in unincorporated areas PCRC and private haulers 500 2016-2022 Increasing household recycling through outreach and events Person County PCRC 500 2016-2022 Church-sponsored recycling program (SWAC) SWAC 750 2017 Increase efficiency of Roxboro's recycling program (SWAC) SWAC, Roxboro 1500 2020 Explore diversion of tobacco residue for composting (SWAC) SWAC 800 2022 Develop a municipal composting program (SWAC) SWAC 2200 2022 TOTAL 14,688 July 2022 29 12 12 10 Year Solid Waste Management Plan, Person County and the City of Roxboro SECTION 5 - Waste Handling Characterization The primary method for disposal for each waste stream is described below: Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) Roxboro collects MSW within the city limits, using city owned and operated waste collection vehicles. Roxboro’s collection services include residential and commercial waste, but not industrial. City residents are encouraged to drop their recycling off at the Person County PCRC. The City does not offer curbside recycling collection. The city also offers yard waste collection upon request. Yard waste is taken to a city –owned yard waste facility. In the county, two private haulers provide weekly collection services for trash and recycling. Households that do not contract with private curbside haulers, can take their waste directly to the landfill. Both inside and outside of the city limits, trash is taken to the Upper Piedmont Environmental Landfill and recycling is taken to PCRC. Construction and Demolition Waste (C&D) Private haulers take C&D waste to the Upper Piedmont Environmental Landfill. Land Clearing and Inert Debris (LCID) LCID sites are noted on the map in Appendix A. White Goods (WG), both the metal and gasses PCRC and the Upper Piedmont Environmental Landfill serve as drop-off points for white goods. The City of Roxboro collects white goods from the curb and drops them off at PCRC. In FY12, the Person County PCRC accepted 20.77 tons of white goods, while the Upper Piedmont Environmental landfill accepted 10.53 tons of white goods. Scrap Tires (ST) Individuals and businesses can take tires PCRC, beginning Oct.1, 2012. In FY2012, Upper Piedmont Environmental Landfill received 466.40 tons of scrap tires. Electronics (EL) Individuals and businesses take electronics to the Person County PCRC, where they are recycled. 30 13 13 10 Year Solid Waste Management Plan, Person County and the City of Roxboro SECTION 6 - Assessments and Actions Below is a list of waste management programs and the assessment and actions associated with each program in Person County. Reduction at the source Summary Neither Person County nor Roxboro offer any programming around reduction at the source. Assessment N/A Actions There is no program planned other than continued efforts to educate the public on source reduction. Collection Summary The City of Roxboro collects and hauls waste to the Upper Piedmont Regional MSW Landfill. The City provides weekly residential trash collection, but does not provide curbside recycling. Residents are encouraged to take their recycling to PCRC. The City provides commercial collection, but not industrial collection. Below is the commercial fee schedule. The City mulches yard waste at a city-owned yard waste facility. County residents, businesses and industry can contract with private haulers to collect trash and recycling. County residents may also choose to drop-off waste directly at the landfill or at PCRC for recycling. Dumpster size Monthly rent Charge per pick up 4 cu yd $19.00 $10.60 6 cu yd $21.00 $15.90 8 cu yd $23.00 $21.20 Assessment While curbside collection of trash and recycling in the city would increase the diversion rate, possibly diverting 1800 tons for a savings of approximately $68,000, it is not financially viable. An analysis from 2009 shows an increase of $188,000 in annual operating costs for providing residents with curbside pick-up. Since the city does not charge residents a waste collection fee, this amount would have to come from the General Fund. Two private haulers provide waste collection and recycling pick-up for county residents. They charge approximately $15-16/month and an additional $4- 5/month for recycling pick-up. The private hauling companies report having 1000 to 1200 customers participating in their recycling collection programs. Actions The city and county will continue to encourage individuals to participate in curbside collection and to take recycling to PCRC. The City of Roxboro could promote the idea of curbside recycling with residents and explain the costs and benefits associated with such a program. The county has expressed interest in partnering with the city to implement a curbside recycling program. 31 14 14 10 Year Solid Waste Management Plan, Person County and the City of Roxboro Recycling and reuse Summary Person Industries, an organization that works with people with disabilities, manages PCRC. County residents can drop-off recycling free of charge. PCRC accepts glass, plastics, metals, papers, white goods, electronics, pallets and textiles. The Upper Piedmont Environmental Landfill collects tires and white goods for recycling. Assessment PCRC has increased the tons of recycled materials collected each year since opening in 2009. The chart below shows the increase in tonnage collected annually. Tonnage is not expected to increase at the same rate in FY13; however, in FY14 PCRC may transition to a new space or upgrade their existing facility and may be able to significantly increase tonnage once the move is complete. The graph below illustrates that increases in plastics and paper recycling have driven the increase in tonnage from FY2011 to FY2012. 0 400 800 1200 1600 2000 2009 2010 2011 2012 Tons Recycled at Person County MRF 0 100 200 300 400 500 Tons of recyclables collected by category 2011 2012 32 15 15 10 Year Solid Waste Management Plan, Person County and the City of Roxboro Actions The city and the county will continue to encourage residents to recycle. Composting and mulching Summary The City of Roxboro collects yard waste from residents and carries it to a city- owned mulching facility. The county does not provide composting or mulching services. Assessment The City of Roxboro will continue to provide yard waste collection to residents. Actions The SWAC is researching composting options for rural counties. The county could encourage residents to have backyard composting bins. Incineration with energy recovery Summary Neither the city nor the county has incineration with energy recovery. Assessment N/A Actions Neither jurisdiction plans to implement incineration with energy recovery projects. Incineration without energy recovery Summary Neither the city nor the county has incineration without energy recovery. Assessment N/A Actions Neither jurisdiction plans to implement incineration without energy recovery projects. Transfer outside the geographic area covered by the plan Summary Currently, the Upper Piedmont Environmental Landfill receives most of the waste generated in Person County. In FY2011, only 2,178.49 tons were landfilled outside of Person County. Assessment The landfill’s contract will be complete in 2017. Actions The County received $533,751 in host fee revenues from the Upper Environmental Piedmont Landfill in FY2012. These funds are allocated to the General Fund. If the county decides not to extend the contract, it will lose these revenues. In addition, the fuel costs for the City of Roxboro and the private haulers will increase, if they must haul waste outside of Person County. Granville County has plans to open a landfill, which may be an option for Person County waste after 2017. Disposal Summary Currently, the Upper Piedmont Environmental Landfill receives the majority of the MSW, C&D, commercial and industrial waste generated in Person County. Assessment The landfill’s contract will be complete in 2017. The landfill recently created a new cell that has created enough capacity to last until the contract is completed. The landfill contract does allow for 10 1-year extensions. Actions The County and the City of Roxboro will continue to use the Upper Piedmont Environmental Landfill until 2017. However, discussion about waste disposal after 2017 should begin soon. 33 16 16 10 Year Solid Waste Management Plan, Person County and the City of Roxboro Education with the community and through the schools Summary PCRC picks up recycling free of charge at the public K-12 schools. PCRC also provides tours and educational programming for students and community groups. Assessment PCRC provides excellent education programming and works closely with both public and private schools to encourage recycling. Actions The County will offer an annual recycling grant program to Person County public and private K-12 schools. The first round of funding will be provided to schools in FY2014. Special wastes are handled in the following manner: Scrap tires  The number of facilities and/or convenience sites at which tires are collected (e.g. four of seven convenience sites). Scrap tires will be collected at PCRC beginning Oct. 1, 2012.  The manner in which the tires are stored at the primary facility and loaded on to trucks for transport to the recycler (e.g. stacked, laced, piled). The tires are stacked inside a box trailer and Central Carolina Holdings is called for pick-up when the trailer is full.  The manner in which tires are stored at alternate facilities and/or convenience site (e.g. piled on ground, stacked on ground, stacked in truck). Person County does not have convenience sites. All tires are taken PCRC.  The contracted recycler/tire processor (e.g. US Tire, Central Carolina) and the criteria for when a shipment is made to the recycler/tire processor (e.g. when truck is full, once every 3 months). PCRC has an agreement with Central Carolina Holdings to dispose of scrap tires.  Indicate actions the scrap tire program has taken or plans to take to minimize costs (e.g. seek best contract with recycler, tires laced in truck for more efficient transport, tires transported only when truck is full, check documents for ineligible tires, or attach fees to undocumented tires). The tires are stacked in the trailer in order to optimize the load capacity. The trailer is removed and replaced only when the trailer is completely filled. White Goods  The number of facilities and/or convenience sites at which white goods are collected (e.g. four of seven convenience sites). PCRC and the Upper Piedmont Environmental Landfill accept white goods.  The manner in which refrigerant gasses are extracted from white goods and the person or firm responsible for extraction, the final disposition of the gasses (note: counties are responsible for making sure gasses are properly disposed or recycled, a response indicating that they do not know or that it is the responsibility of the recycler is not acceptable), who the recycler is (e.g. Omnisource, DH Griffin), where records kept indicating dates, times and amounts of gasses extracted. At PCRC, the Production/Maintenance Technician is certified to extract gasses from white goods. A record is kept of the date, type of refrigerant and the type gas extracted. At Upper Piedmont Environmental Landfill, the refrigerant is removed by Stateline Metals when they remove the white goods for recycling. Records are kept at the landfill. 34 17 17 10 Year Solid Waste Management Plan, Person County and the City of Roxboro  Indicate whether the refrigerant bearing white goods are being kept separate from non- refrigerant bearing white goods. Yes, the refrigerant bearing white goods are kept separate from non-refrigerant bearing white goods. All are loaded on an open-top scrap metal trailer after refrigerants are extracted. At Upper Piedmont Environmental, refrigerant white goods are placed together on one side of the collection pad for all white goods. Non- refrigerant items are kept on the other side of the pad separated by a gap.  Indicate if the refrigerant bearing white goods are being handled roughly at the facility (e.g. use of backhoe or claw to move refrigerant bearing white goods prior to gas extraction, refrigerant bearing white goods dumped on ground). The refrigerant bearing white goods are handled manually until the refrigerant gasses are removed. At Upper Piedmont Environmental, all white goods are placed on a concrete pad. Refrigerant white goods are moved by hand when needed.  Criteria for when a shipment is made (e.g. when pad is full, every six months, when 100 tons are accumulated) and who is responsible for transport (e.g. county or recycler or third party). White goods are loaded on an open top trailer after all gasses are removed. The trailer is picked up when it is full (approx. 6 tons) by Hayes Iron & Metal. At Upper Piedmont Environmental, shipment takes place when the pad is 90% full. White Goods removal and refrigerant evacuation is accomplished through contract with Stateline Metals. Electronics  Information on existing programs within the jurisdiction to recycle or reuse discarded computer equipment, televisions, and other electronic devices, or information on a plan to begin such a program on a certain date. This information shall include a description of the implemented or planned practices for collection of the equipment and a description of the types of equipment to be collected and how the equipment will be marketed for recycling. Electronics, including computer equipment, monitors, televisions, telephone equipment, cell phones, stereo equipment and other electronic devices are collected at: Person County Recycling Center (PCRC) 741 Martin St, Roxboro N.C. 27573 The electronic equipment is collected from citizens, businesses, schools, haulers, industries and agencies for the purpose of reuse and recycling. All CPUs are recycled due to confidentiality. Any equipment that is deemed useful may be used internally or donated to community organizations when requested. All equipment that is recycled is collected &/or stored in a room designated for electronics. Items are palletized according to “end user” specifications. 35 18 18 10 Year Solid Waste Management Plan, Person County and the City of Roxboro PCRC Attendants are on duty to assist with collections: Monday – Friday 7:30am – 4:30pm Saturdays 8:30am – 2:00pm Drop off bins are available at all times  Information on a public awareness and education program concerning the recycling and reuse of discarded computer equipment, televisions, and other electronic devices. PCRC provides public awareness and education programs to provide information on the how to’s of recycling in Person County (which includes the recycling and reuse of discarded computer equipment and televisions and other electronic devices) as well as updates on items banned from landfills. Public awareness is provided as follows: Tours of PCRC Public presentations The local newspaper “The Courier-Times” Person Industries Newsletter “PI Events” Person County Employee’s Newsletter Brochures and flyers Public Service Announcements on local radio WRXO Person County Government website www.personcounty.net Person Industries website www.personindustries.com  Information on methods to track and report total tonnage of computer equipment, televisions, and other electronic devices collected and recycled in the jurisdiction. Televisions are tracked separately from other equipment. Prior to shipment, the electronics and televisions are weighed and the weights are recorded by the Production Technician. The weights reported by the end-users are the official documented weights. The PCRC Site Manager reports the annual tonnage to the required governing bodies. Records are maintained on site.  Information on interactions with other units of local government to provide or receive services concerning disposal of discarded computer equipment, televisions, and other electronic devices. The Person Industries Director keeps county staff and officials informed of recycling practices at monthly department head meetings. An administrative report is given to County Commissioners on a quarterly basis concerning tonnage amounts, which includes electronics. PCRC is open to working with or sharing information with surrounding counties as they develop their electronic disposal programs.  Information on how the unit of local government will account for the expenditure of funds received pursuant to this section (creation of separate line items in budget). 36 19 19 10 Year Solid Waste Management Plan, Person County and the City of Roxboro The Person County Finance Department established a separate account for the receipt and expenditure of funds from the State’s Electronics Management Program. The expenditure of state funds will be tracked, and the funds will only be used to support the electronics recycling program.  Documentation that your program is using an electronics recycler/vendor that holds the required e-Stewards or R2 certifications, plus attestation that all of the covered equipment that is managed by your program is managed by the recycler(s)/vendor(s) in question. See Appendix B. All electronics collected are shipped to: Synergy Recycling 320 South Gibson Drive Madison, North Carolina 27025 Abandoned manufactured homes  The county does not have an abandoned manufactured home program. Household Hazardous Waste  List all collection activities. Indicate if they are permanent, contracted, or temporary in nature. What is the estimated use by citizens (e.g.1% of county population) of these activities? Currently, the county does not provide a household hazardous waste collection program. However, PCRC plans to host a collection day for residents in FY2013.  Describe plan for collection of HHW waste (e.g. increase, decrease, or remain the same in the amount of time, money and manpower). PCRC would like to have a day once or twice a year for individuals and businesses to bring their household hazardous waste. PCRC is researching grant opportunities to do this.  Indicate the degree of public demand for a HHW program and whether there are any known issues with this waste type (e.g. ground water or waste water contamination due to illegal dumping of HHW). Through satisfaction surveys at the recycling center, there is a very small degree of interest in a household hazardous waste program. Currently, we are not aware of any ground water or waste water contamination issues. Other special waste, including fluorescent lights, oil filters, etc.  PCRC accepts oil filters and fluorescent lights. Prevention of illegal disposal and management of litter  The county does not have an enforcement officer. Instead, the Sheriff’s Office follows- up on illegal dumping and littering complaints. Purchase of recycled materials and products manufactured with recycled materials  The county plans to create a green purchasing policy. 37 20 20 10 Year Solid Waste Management Plan, Person County and the City of Roxboro SECTION 7 – Solid Waste Management Costs Fiscal Year: 2012 Total MSW Budget Program Category SW Collection SW Disposal Recycling Annual Cost of Operations Wages + Benefits of Employees (FTE) $ 367,565.60 Operating $ 168,226.71 Cost of Large Capital Expenditures Equipment principal $ 91,057.29 Cost of Debt Service (loan & bond interest) $ 7,611.00 Total Annual Costs: $ 634,460.60 0 0 $ 634,460.60 Revenues** Programming (Medicaid) $ 182,736.45 Sale of Recyclables $ 190,934.89 Fee/Disposal Tax $ 65,995.14 County Funding $ 208,928.00 Donations $ 2,064.86 Grants $ 8,744.00 Landfill host fees $ 533,751.89 Total Annual Revenues: $ 1,184,411.23 0 $ 533,751.89 $ 650,403.34 Net Annual Costs/Revenues: $ 549,950.63 0 $ 533,751.89 $ 24,942.74 Indicators of Efficiency Tons of Material Managed per Year 1657 # Households or Clients Served 15388 Total Cost per Ton: $ 150.86 Total Cost per Household: $ 16.25 38 21 21 10 Year Solid Waste Management Plan, Person County and the City of Roxboro SECTION 8 – Emergency/Disaster Debris Management and Animal Mortality The old landfill located on Allensville Road will serve as the staging area for disaster debris (see the map in Section 1).

PURPOSE This section outlines procedures for disposal and containment of debris in the event an emergency / disaster situation results in wide spread debris (downed trees, building materials, etc.) II. SITUATION AND ASSUMPTIONS A. Situation 1. The landfill, operated by Upper Piedmont Environmental, is the only site in Person County presently approved for municipal, construction and demolition solid waste disposal. 2. In the event of a disaster situation, the old landfill site located at 662 Cedar Grove Church Rd. would be opened as a temporary site for debris storage until it could be ground up and disposed of. B. Assumptions 1. In an emergency / disaster situation, large amounts of debris may be produced. This debris will need to be disposed of properly. 2. Depending on the location of heavily damaged areas, temporary storage sites may need to be opened to store certain types of debris until disposal can be achieved. 3. In the event of an emergency/disaster, Person County may need to be granted a variance in state burning regulations in order to dispose of certain types of debris. III. CONCEPT OF OPERATIONS A. The Person County Solid Waste Director is responsible for solid waste management in Person County. He will direct the flow of debris disposal within the County during an emergency/disaster situation. B. The Solid Waste Director will direct other agencies (DOT, Forestry Service, private contractors, etc.), as to locations for temporary storage of debris. C. The Solid Waste Director will work in conjunction with the Health Department in the event that waste products become a threat to the health and welfare of the community. D. All debris removed to storage sites will not be disposed of until after being viewed by Federal Damage Assessment personnel to facilitate reimbursement of removal and disposal. 46 IV. TEMPORARY STORAGE SITES A. In the event that debris is wide spread, the Solid Waste Director, in conjunction with state regulation, may need to locate temporary storage sites to store debris such as trees, branches and building materials. B. When disaster conditions permit, and an estimate can be made as to the amount of debris to be contained, temporary storage sites will be selected and activated. C. Temporary storage sites should be selected in regards to distance from damaged areas, access to the site, and types of debris to be contained. D. Information should be publicized as to the location of the temporary storage sites and as to what type of material will be accepted at each site. ANIMAL CONTROL AND PROTECTION PERSON COUNTY EMERGENCY OPERATIONS PLAN Updated: December 11, 2008 I. PURPOSE This section predetermines actions to be taken to control, protect and ensure the humane care and treatment of domesticated animals during a disaster / emergency situation that could cause animal suffering. II. SITUATION AND ASSUMPTIONS A. Situation 1. Any disaster that threatens humans threatens animals as well and it will be necessary to provide water, shelter, food and first aid. 2. Relocation, shelter, or relief efforts for livestock, wildlife or domesticated animals may be required. 3. Shelter locations may be required to provide domesticated animal control due to sheltered persons bringing their pets with them. Pets are prohibited at public shelters. Trained service (sight and hearing assistance) animals are allowed. 4. Livestock left in evacuated areas will need to be cared for and provisions will need to be made for reentry to facilitate this need. B. Assumptions 1. Person County will request assistance from the State and private sector. 2. Animal protection planning will ensure the proper care and recovery of animals impacted during an emergency. 3. Personnel with proper training and protective equipment will be able to reenter evacuated areas for the purpose of rescue or care of livestock and domestic animals. 47 III. CONCEPT OF OPERATIONS A. The sheltering and protection of companion animals and livestock is the responsibility of their owners. Animal owners should plan for animal care during a disaster as they prepare their family preparedness plan. B. The Person County Animal Control Department will be the lead agency for situation assessment and determination of resource needs. As needed, the county will protect animals affected by any disaster to include rescue, shelter, control, feeding, and preventive immunization of animals left homeless, lost, or strayed as a result of the disaster. Costs incurred will be passed to animal owners when located. Local SPCA, Humane Society, or similar organizations, will be asked to assist in this effort. C. During emergencies, requests for animal protection assistance and resources such as food, medicine, shelter, specialized personnel, and additional veterinary medical professionals will be routed through the Person County Emergency Operations Center. D. Wild animals out of their natural habitats that are in danger to themselves or humans, will be handled by the Person County Animal Control Officers with assistance from North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission personnel. E. Shelters that have been established for disaster victims will not accept companion animals with the exception of animals trained as sight and / or hearing assistance companions. However, if an evacuee comes to the shelter with their pet(s), efforts will be made to assist in locating a suitable shelter for the pet(s) at the expense of the owner. 48 pz~ .::;::34~7 i ............

The BOCC asked staff to create an RFP to solicit proposals from a private provider to provide broadband service to unserved areas of the county. On Oct. 15th, staff presented a timeline for the RFP and a draft of a county-wide broadband survey. The survey opened on Oct. 18th and closed on Nov. 15th. The survey was distributed through the schools, at county departments and to county employees. We received 407 responses to the survey, with 41 individuals reporting no access, 81 reporting inadequate access, 25 reporting that they “don’t know” if they have access or not and 260 reporting adequate access. Thirteen businesses or home-based businesses responded that they had inadequate or no access. Based on the county-wide survey and data from the State, the GIS department created the attached map of the unserved areas of the County. As stated in the RFP, funds from the broadband grant can only be used to serve these areas. Staff has identified three providers that may be able to provide highspeed internet to unserved areas of Person County – CenturyLink, ESINC and Charter. Staff has spoken with all three providers and at least two indicated that they were interested in responding to the RFP. In addition, the State has provided contact information for other potential providers. Attached is a copy of the RFP. The RFP states that the County may provide up to a 50% match. Below is the schedule for the RFP: 51 Dec. 4, 2012 Request for Proposals Released by Person County Dec. 20, 2012 Questions from applicants due to Person County Jan. 17, 2013 Grant Proposals due to Person County Jan. 18 –Feb. 4, 2013 Review and recommendations April 2013 Projected Date for Grant Award Notification Recommended Action: Provide feedback on the RFP and direct staff whether or not to release the RFP. Submitted By: Sybil Tate, Assistant County Manager 52 11/27/2012 1 Person County Request for Proposals (RFP) Broadband Grant Program December 4, 2012 53 11/27/2012 2 1. Project Overview On June 28, 2012, the General Assembly ratified an act that gives counties the authority to provide grants to promote high-speed internet access service in un-served areas for economic development. The act stipulates that grant money can be provided to qualified private providers, awarded on a technology neutral basis and may require matching funds from the private provider. The act requires counties to use the procedures outlined in § 160A-340.6 to solicit proposals. Person County has elected to use this new authority to solicit proposals to provide highspeed internet service to unserved areas of Person County. The County may select multiple vendors and match up to 50% of the total project costs. 1.1 Eligible Service Area Unserved areas of Person County make up the Eligible Service Area under this RFP. Respondents can provide service in already served areas, but funds can only be used to provide service in unserved areas. The green areas and the colored roads indicate the unserved areas. Data for the unserved areas comes from the state and a county-wide survey. The green areas represent the state data and the colored roads represent data from the county-side survey. The data included in this map is subject to change, as the county continues to collect survey data from residents. Any changes in the eligible service area map will be presented to the winning Applicant as part of the grant contract process. The Eligible Service Area is based on the map found in Appendix A. 1.2 Goals and objectives Person County has the authority to grant funds to an existing private provider to supply unserved areas with high-speed internet access. In addition, Person County adopted a strategic plan in 2010, which includes goals for expanding broadband. Below are the strategic plan references to broadband expansion: · “Encourage Learning for Life and Lifelong Learning” Expand broadband access and computing technology so that all students in Person County can increase on-line instructional opportunities. a. Implementers - Person County Commissioners, Traditional and Charter Public Schools, Piedmont Community College, business and industry. b. Cost- Low to medium c. Indicators – Increase the percentage of students accessing high-speed internet, increase the number of students in on-line classes, increase the utilization of the internet in traditional classes. · Expanding broadband is referenced indirectly in the “Prosper by Developing the New Economy Locally” and the “Re-imagine our County for A Better Future” sections as well. 54 11/27/2012 3 Any and all activities undertaken or supported by the applicant should address these goals. If there are additional objectives within the strategic plan that the applicant wishes to address, that information should be included in the application. A copy of the strategic plan can be found at http://www.personcounty.net/Modules/ShowDocument.aspx?documentid=188. 1.3 Project details Under this Request for Proposals, Person County is accepting proposals that address last mile transport solutions only. For the purposes of this Request for Proposals (RFP): · The First Mile is defined as the transport between the Tier 1 Network Access Provider (NAP) and the lower tier resellers. · The Middle Mile is defined as the transport from the Internet reseller or Internet Access Provider (Tier 2 or lower in the hierarchy) to the Internet Service Provider (ISP). · The Last Mile is defined as the telecommunications link between the Internet Service Provider and the subscriber. The subscribers are households, businesses, government offices, etc. Person County is seeking proposals that provide Last Mile solutions to serve residential and business subscribers in the Eligible Service Areas. 2.

Before the Board is a proposed schedule of 2013 meetings dates. I have not included into the proposed schedule dates that conflict with the NACo Legislative Conference (March 2 – 6 Washington DC). The NACo Annual Conference (July 19-22 Ft. Worth, Texas) will not present a conflict with the schedule. To accommodate the Local Government Day participation, the March 11, 2013 meeting is scheduled for the Board’s regular meeting. Person County Schools’ staff has not advised the date of the Fall 2013 Local Government Day. The second Monday in November is a holiday so I am anticipating November 18 following the same schedule as done this year. Note: the Board will hold its regular scheduled meetings in its usual Boardroom, Room 215 in the County Office Building. As recommended on the Schedule of Meetings, to accommodate attendance, Local Government Day dates will be relocated to the FEMA room and the Budget Public Hearing will be held in the County Auditorium. If the Board so desires to hold the Community Conversations as proposed, the location is usually determined closer to the meeting dates. Historically the Board has approved holding one Board meeting in the months of March, July and December. Recommended Action: Consider the proposed dates and take action to set the 2013 Schedule of Meeting dates to cause copy of such to be posted on the bulletin board and county website.
