AGENDA ABSTRACT
Meeting Date: November 5, 2012
Agenda Title: Public Hearing:
Update to 10 Year Solid Waste Plan
Summary of Information:
The State requires that counties update their 10-year Solid Waste Management Plan every
three years. This updated plan will be in effect until 2022 and will be updated again in
2015. The State’s goal for the 10-year Solid Waste Management Plan is to be a tool to
guide the county for future planning decisions and a reference for the public and other
government agencies.
Staff presented the updated plan to the Person County Solid Waste Advisory Committee
(SWAC) on Sept. 6th and again on Oct. 9th. At the October meeting, the SWAC voted
unanimously to recommend the Solid Waste Management Plan to the Person County
Board of County Commissioners.
Highlights of the updated plan include a substantial increase in the diversion rate goal and
many new ideas for increasing recycling. The plan adopted in 2009 set a 5% diversion
rate goal (.76 tons per capita) by 2012 and an 8% diversion rate goal (.736 tons per
capita) by 2019. This update increases those goals to 26% (.59 per capita) by 2015 and
41% (.47 per capita) by 2022. See the table below.

The SWAC recommended many new ideas for increasing the diversion rate. These ideas
include a second pick-up at schools, buy-back program for metal and cardboard, waste
audits, a hospital recycling program, exploring county-wide recycling initiatives, tying
economic development incentives to recycling, a church-sponsored recycling program
(Recycling Buddy program), increasing efficiency of the City of Roxboro’s recycling and
exploring opportunities for composting.
In order to receive funding for PCRC’s electronics recycling program, this update and
resolution must be adopted by the Board of County Commissioners and the City of
Roxboro City Council no later than Dec. 31, 2012. Staff will present this update for
adoption to the Roxboro City Council on Nov. 13, 2012 and the Person County Board of
Commissioners on Dec.3, 2012.
Recommended Action: Provide staff with feedback on the 10-Year Solid Waste
Management Plan.

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.

SECTION 3 - Waste Characterization
Total Waste Stream
According to State records, Person County generated 39,042.03 tons of waste, recycling and
compostables in FY2011. 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.

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.

Industrial and C&D waste streams
According to the Upper Piedmont Environmental
Landfill’s records, the remaining categories in the
waste stream (C&D and Industrial waste) make up
approximately 36.76% of the entire waste stream.
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.

Industrial waste alone accounts for 22.27% of the total waste stream. 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.

SECTION 4 - Waste Reduction Goal
Unfortunately, Person County most likely will not achieve the 2012 waste reduction goal set
forth in the previous Solid Waste Management Plan. 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:

In addition, FY2011 data shows that the county’s per capita waste increased from .8 tons per
capita in FY2010 to .9 tons per capita in FY2011. 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.

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.

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).”

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.

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, 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.

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.
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.

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.
32
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.

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).
34
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.

DEBRIS DISPOSAL
PERSON COUNTY EMERGENCY OPERATIONS PLAN
Updated: January 30, 2004
I. 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.
42
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.
43
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.

OLD BUSINESS:
DRAFT OF BROADBAND SURVEY:
Assistant County Manager, Sybil Tate stated she had spoken to Rockingham
County representatives as directed by the Board in August related to their efforts to use
the new granting authority and broadband opportunities. Ms. Tate noted Rockingham
County has been in discussions with CenturyLink to provide matching funds to a Federal
grant that CenturyLink received. If Rockingham County moves forward with this
proposal, the Federal grant and the County grant could cover all of the capital costs for
providing highspeed internet to unserved areas of Rockingham County.
Ms. Tate stated she has identified three providers that may be able to provide
highspeed internet to unserved areas of Person County – CenturyLink, ESINC and
Charter with discussion with each potential providers to ensure that there is interest in the
RFP. Before the RFP is released, Ms. Tate told the group the state recommends that the
county conduct a month-long, county-wide survey to gather greater details on unserved
49
October 15, 2012
4
areas of the county. Staff would like to take this opportunity to gather data on overall
broadband service in Person County and has included questions for those who have
internet service, those who feel that they have inadequate service and those who do not
have service. Ms. Tate noted the Board has a copy of the survey which would be
available online as well as hard copies for handing out in the unserved areas. Ms. Tate
further noted the survey will be available for all county residents so that the county could
gather data that may provide criteria for prioritization should there be limited funding.
Ms. Tate introduced David Mitchell with NC Broadband, a Division of the
Department of Commerce who is available to assist Person County to increase the
coverage of high speed accessibility. Mr. Mitchell advocated for the county to conduct
the survey and its merit in illustrating the demand of the unserved areas which will
increase the business plan for the providers to provide accessibility in those areas. Mr.
Mitchell noted many counties will provide at low cost access to fixed wireless providers
on county-owned water towers. Mr. Mitchell noted that once the data is generated and
shared, he could assist in producing a map to show the demand areas which could look
differently and resulting is a higher percentage of unserved areas in Person County.
Ms. Tate requested feedback from the Board on the survey and direction whether
or not to engage the high speed internet committee in outreach efforts and move forward
with the RFP process.
Ms. Tate presented the possible timeline for moving forward with the broadband
RFP:
1. Release survey – Oct. 2012
2. Close survey – Nov 2012
3. Review draft of RFP – Dec/Jan 2012
4. Release RFP – Dec/Jan 2012
5. RPF due – Jan./Feb 2013
6. Select provider –Feb 2013
7. Approve funds in CIP - April 2013
8. Funds allocated - July 2013
Vice Chairman Puryear reminded the group that CenturyLink representatives
updated the Board and expressed his gratitude and promise of cooperation with the
county to privately review their map of coverage.
Commissioner Jeffers suggested partnering with the schools to help hand out the
survey. Commissioner Blalock noted the Library is currently doing a survey for needs
and suggested Ms. Tate check with the Library staff.
It was the consensus of the Board to move forward with the Broadband Survey.
Ms. Tate noted she would be in contact with the High Speed Internet Committee.

PERSON COUNTY NON-SMOKING ORDINANCE:
Health Director, Janet Clayton and Recreation, Arts and Parks Director, John Hill
presented the Board with a revised version of the Person County Non-Smoking
Ordinance for review and feedback as directed by the Board at its September 17, 2012
meeting requesting additional information regarding designated smoking areas for
recreational facilities.
Ms. Clayton stated the proposed Person County Non-Smoking Ordinance has
been revised to allow the Recreation Advisory Board authority to designate areas with
each of the recreation facilities including a 50-foot set back from all recreational, health
and wellness amenities.
Ms. Clayton requested the Board to review the revised proposed Person County
Non-Smoking Ordinance and to schedule a public hearing for community input if so
desired.
Commissioner Blalock requested enforcement provisions be added to the
ordinance. Mr. Hill stated rules awareness would be the responsibility of the recreation
staff members however enforcement with a citation would be by law enforcement.
County Manager, Heidi York stated the parking lots are the designated smoking
areas for all county building in the proposed ordinance.
Commissioner Kennington suggested adding to the proposed ordinance that the
designated smoking area within the parking lot should not include the designated walk
areas/side walks to an entrance of the building. Ms. Clayton noted the situation described
by Commissioner Kennington is a complaint received since the Board of Health adopted
its rule to make all government buildings smoke free.
Mr. Hill confirmed should the ordinance be adopted with designated smoking
areas, there will be work to do defining set back distances away from buildings and/or
amenities using signage and educating the public as well as removing ash trays and the
cigarette stands away from buildings to the specific designated areas. Ms. Clayton added
the Health Department has been awarded a grant to help fund the purchases of signs and
cigarette stands.
Chairman Clayton noted his opposition to the prohibition of smoking but stated
support to designating smoking areas so all people did not have to be subjected to smoke.
Commissioner Jeffers advocated for other designated smoking areas other than
the parking lots for county employees.
51
October 15, 2012

A motion was made by Commissioner Jeffers, seconded by Commissioner
Kennington, and carried 4-1 for the committee to once again review and make
recommendations to the proposed Non-Smoking Ordinance related to designating
smoking areas other than parking lots with a set back from walk ways/side walks leading
to an entrance into the building. Vice Chairman Puryear cast the lone dissenting vote
noting he was against the ordinance in its entirety.
ADOPTION OF SCHEDULE OF VALUES EXCLUDING THE PRESENT-USE
VALUE SECTION:
Tax Administrator, Russell Jones stated the Schedule of Values was presented to
the Board on September 17, 2012 with a public hearing held for the 2013 Schedule of
Values on October 1, 2012. The Schedules were made available to the public by placing
a copy in the Assessor’s Office and by posting a copy on the Person County Website as

NEW BUSINESS:
REQUEST FROM PERSON COUNTY MUSEUM OF HISTORY TO ADD A
RESIDENTIAL PROPERTY TO THE CURRENT MUSEUM CAMPUS AND
FOR ITS INCORPORATION INTO THE AGREEMENT WITH PERSON
COUNTY GOVERNMENT:
County Manager, Heidi York requested Board input related to the Person County
Museum of History Board’s request for Person County to add a newly acquired
residential property to the current Memorandum of Agreement between Person County
and the Museum of History. Ms. York announced Ms. Angie Brown, Museum of History
Board Chair, Ms. Claudia Berryhill, Museum Board member and Mr. Danny Talbert,
Museum Board member were present in the audience for any questions.
Ms. York told the group the Person County Museum of History received a
generous financial donation from Mrs. Sara S. Long for the purchase of the house located
at 245 N. Main Street, Roxboro. Known as the Woody House, Ms. York stated it is one
of the original homes in Roxboro built in 1921 by George W. Kane. The home has 14
rooms and 2/3 basement with approximately 4600 square feet of heated space. The
terracotta roof is original and Mr. Woody has recently restored the interior. Mrs. Long is
the wife of Curtis Eugene Long who was born and raised in Person County. Signage and
a permanent exhibit will be displayed in the home in memory of her husband. The
Museum acquired the home on August 28, 2012, and is recorded in the Person County
Registry in Book 815, Page 236.
Ms. York noted the Memorandum of Agreement between the Museum and Person
County Government that was signed in April 2012 that the County will be responsible for
maintaining the exteriors, the structural integrity of all Museum buildings, for providing
property and liability insurance, responsible for HVAC systems, sewer lines, and
responsible for all utility costs. Ms. York estimated cost of utilities for the Woody House
at $2,000 annually noting insurance is less than $1,000 and has already been assumed by
the County. Ms. York noted the County has recently spent $25,000 on HVAC repairs
and painting for the museum.
Ms. York requested Board consideration noting no funds were currently budgeted
to add the newly acquired property. Ms. York stated the total expense was unknown at
this time and confirmed the Memorandum of Agreement does not include any provision
for mowing.
A motion was made by Vice Chairman Puryear, seconded by Commissioner
Kennington, to add a residential property located at 245 N. Main Street, Roxboro and
known as the Woody House to the current museum campus and for its incorporation into
the Memorandum of Agreement between the Museum and Person County Government
effective this date.
53
October 15, 2012

Ms. York clarified the newly acquired residential property is currently owned by
the Museum of History and would need to be deeded to Person County. Commissioner
Kennington asked the museum board members when the Museum would convey the
property to the county. Ms. Berryhill stated the request includes deeding the property to
the county, adding the property to the Memorandum of Agreement as well as seeking a
conditional use permit from the City of Roxboro to operate the house as a museum
facility.
An amended motion was made by Vice Chairman Puryear, seconded by
Commissioner Kennington, and carried 5-0 to add a residential property located at 245
N. Main Street, Roxboro and known as the Woody House to the current museum campus
and for its incorporation into the Memorandum of Agreement between the Museum and
Person County Government effective upon the conveyance of the property to the county
and for the county to apply with the City of Roxboro for a conditional use permit so that
the tenant, Person County Museum of History may operate the house as a museum
facility.
RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE SUBMISSION OF A GRANT
APPLICATION TO THE NC RURAL CENTER:
Economic Development Director, Stuart Gilbert sought approval from the Board
to submit an Occupied Building grant to the North Carolina Rural Center ($500,000.00)
to support GKN Driveline CVJ’s new facility expansion in Roxboro, NC and to create
131 new jobs within the next 18 months. According to NC Rural Center grant guidelines,
a local government needs to be the applicant for the grant and a resolution is required.
Mr. Gilbert stated GKN Driveline will be investing $24.16 million into the project. Mr.
Gilbert outlined the Resolution.
Mr. Gilbert explained to the Board the grant submittal process noting the county
and the City of Roxboro are working cooperatively and he has written two grants this
quarter. Mr. Gilbert told the group that Representative Winkie Wilkins was very helpful
facilitating the grant process for GKN Driveline.
A motion was made by Commissioner Blalock, seconded by Commissioner
Kennington, and carried to adopt a Resolution authorizing the submission of a grant
application to the NC Rural Center.

APPOINT EMS EMPLOYEE AS DEPUTY TAX COLLECTOR:
Tax Administrator, Russell Jones told the Board General Statute 44-51.4
authorizes the county to collect past due EMS charges (must be at least 90 days past due)
using the same garnishment remedies that are available for Property Taxes and General
Statute 105-349(f) authorizes the appointment of Deputy Tax Collectors by the Board of
County Commissioners.
Mr. Jones noted the appointment of an EMS employee to process garnishments
for past due bills; it will resolve any issues with confidentiality pertaining to medical
records with greater ease to reconcile the Accounts Receivable balances as the records
with be kept with the EMS department.
Mr. Jones recommended the Board to appoint Bonnie Jeffrey as a Deputy Tax
Collector and for Chairman Clayton to administer the Oath for Deputy Tax Collector.
County Manager, Heidi York confirmed that the appointment of Ms. Jeffrey will
not result in any change in her compensation, supervision or location. Ms. York told the
Board the Order to Collect as approved by the Board each year in July to the Tax
Administrator will cover the Deputy Tax Collectors that assist in the Tax Administrator’s
efforts.
A motion was made by Vice Chairman Puryear, seconded by Commissioner
Kennington, and carried 5-0 to appoint Bonnie Jeffrey as a Deputy Tax Collector.
Chairman Clayton administered the Oath for Deputy Tax Collector to Ms. Jeffrey.

HELENA SCHOOL FACILITY ASSESSMENT:
County Manager, Heidi York and General Services Director, Ray Foushee
presented the Board with a Facility Assessment, prepared by MHA Works, of the old
Helena School building. The Facility Assessment reports findings which include:
1) Summary of Deficiencies
2) Deficiency Remediation Plan
3) Remediation Cost Estimate
Mr. Foushee summarized the report as follows:
1) The structural condition of the building is good, but with fair to poor finishes and
thermal envelope (insulation value). The building has no ADA accessibility. The
roof will need to be replaced within the next 2 years.
2) Building systems (HVAC, plumbing, electrical) appear to be in good condition
and in sound working order, but in desperate need of upgrades to meet modern
day standards and required codes.
· Replace old coal fired hot water heating system/add air conditioning system
· Upgrade toilet facilities to current requirements
· Upgrade lighting to current code
· Add emergency exit and egress lighting
· Upgrade overhead electrical service
Mr. Foushee noted the Cafeteria Building was generally in better condition than
the Classroom Building but still needing to be ADA accessible, etc. The estimated cost of
these upgrades is $2,598,548, which includes 30% for Overhead & Profit, and another
30% for contingency/allowances. Mr. Foushee confirmed the estimated cost of upgrades
does not include the $1,046,068 in the CIP roof plan to replace the shingle roof with a
metal roof in FY 2013-2014. For a comparison, Mr. Foushee told the group to demo the
existing old Helena School building, rebuild the same square footage and consideration
of the New Falls Lake requirements, the engineers estimated a cost of $6 million.
Mr. Foushee stated the engineering firm recommended that the County also have
an exterminator assess the condition of the crawl space under the main building to which
the county contracted with Stone’s Exterminating to assess under the structure. The
result was significant infestations of termites and wood beetles. Although any termite and
beetle activity creates damage to the wood, it did not appear that the damage had
compromised the structural integrity of the building. Mr. Foushee recommended
treatment for termites and beetles which is estimated to cost $10,000 for termites and
$5,000 for the beetles.
Commissioner Kennington supported grading as a priority so to stop water from
getting into the cross space. Commissioner Kennington requested the grounds be
improved by cutting back of shrubs, trees, etc. Mr. Foushee noted improving the grounds

Commissioner Jeffers asked the County Manager to review the criteria for the
building to be included on the historical register which may then be eligible for grants.
Commissioner Kennington asked Dr. Walter Bartlett who was present in the
audience to speak to any potential uses of the old Helena School facility. Dr. Bartlett
gave the Board a broad array of potentials uses as considered by Piedmont Community
College. Dr. Bartlett noted new programs, construction trades, horticulture, carpentry,
training site for economic development and partnership with the schools all possibilities.
Commissioner Kennington added a possible use for free incubator space for start up
companies, fine arts and entrepreneur space.
Commissioner Jeffers spoke to a project in Catawba County for a reuse of a 1924
school into a SALT block which caters to science, arts, and literature and theater
programs.
It was the consensus of the Board for the County Manager to bring a prioritized
list of follow up items and the costs associated costs so that funds can be allocated from
Fund Balance for Board action at one of their upcoming meetings.
EOC GENERATOR HAZARD MITIGATION GRANT:
Emergency Services Director, Wes Lail was not present at the Board meeting
therefore, County Manager, Heidi York and Bob Clay, Interim EMS Operations Manager
presented to the Board a Resolution for consideration to apply for a Hazard Mitigation
Grant to fund a generator for the Emergency Operations Center (EOC) located at 216 W.
Barden Street Roxboro.
Mr. Clay noted the current generator has been in service since 1986. Over time,
the generator has developed some problems, especially intermittent start-up failures and
is beginning to impact maintenance budgets significantly. The last repair bill amounted to
approximately $2600. As a result of the age and deteriorating condition of the generator
and the need for a reliable 24/7 power supply for the County’s EOC, a grant for
replacement has been sought through the NC Division of Emergency Management
(NCDEM). The Recovery Section/Hazard Mitigation Branch of NCDEM has advised
Person County EMS that the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) may
have a grant, and NCDEM will apply for the grant on behalf of Person County. FEMA’s
hazard mitigation grant is a 75% fund with a local 25% match to which NCDEM has
agreed to fund the 25% match. The total grant award would be $60,000.
A motion was made by Commissioner Jeffers, seconded by Commissioner
Blalock, and carried 5-0 to approve the Resolution and proceed to apply for a Hazard
Mitigation Grant to fund a generator for the Emergency Operations Center.

to market the 13-county region for new investment and direct strategic efforts to ensure the region
remains economically competitive. RTRP leads development of the regional economic-

13 counties and the Research Triangle Park. The board meets the first Wednesday of each month,
advises and oversees RTRP initiatives. An Economic Development Advisory Committee of
county economic developers and partners meet monthly to plan and implement strategic
marketing efforts. Person County has three representatives on the board of directors: Stuart
Gilbert, Randy Reynolds and Phillip Allen. Each county economic development director is a
voting member with the two other voting members appointed by the county board of
