BOOK 13 FAQ 4 46 The Chairman ruled the motion carried unanimously. Mr. Grant Godwin was recognized and presented a request from ARS Waste Management Tire Recycling, Inc. to shred tires stockpiled on the C. P. Properties Brown Road tract without acquisition of a foam truck for the Northview Fire Department. The Board, at a previous meeting, approved ARS's request to locate a recycling facility in Lee County to recycle yard waste, wood waste, and scrap tire processing. ARS, since that time, reconsidered locating the scrap tire processing facility in Kernersville adjacent to the landfill, eliminating high transportation costs. The tires they are requesting to shred would be loaded for transporting as soon as they are processed and transported to the landfill in Kernersville. The site would be cleaned after processing the tires. The foam truck, for which they now have no need, would cost $47,000.00. The recycling facility in Sanford for the yard waste and wood waste began last week. The other alternative for ridding the site of these tires would be to load the tires manually and transport them to Kernersville for processing. Commissioner Cox stated that the Board did not request the foam truck when approval was made. ARS volunteered this equipment for the tire shredding process when the request was presented. Mr. Godwin stated that the equipment was volunteered after the discussion with the Environmental Board and the local firefighters. The process for completing this project would take approximately one week. Commissioner Cox stated that since ARS is breaking their commitment on the scrap tire processing facility, ARS should load and transport the tires to Kernersville for shredding. Commissioner Dossenbach stated that with everything in place, ARS had agreed to shred tires; however, nothing is in place to protect the area and some assurance would need to be given to the Board that the site would be cleaned after the processing is completed. Commissioner Stafford asked Mr. Billy Cameron of the Emergency Management Board his opinion regarding this matter. Mr. Cameron stated that the foam truck acquisition was related to the long-term operation of tire shredding and the stockpiling of these processed tires. He indicated that he foresees no problems with processing these tires without a foam truck if the tires are immediately loaded and transported. Commissioner Stafford asked Mrs. Hoyle of the Environmental Affairs Board if the foam truck acquisition was for protection of stockpiling the tires, as opposed to the actual shredding of the tires. Mrs. Hoyle stated that the Environmental Affairs Board's request was to make available any means of providing protection for the people living in that area; a foam truck was not specified. Mr. Cameron indicated that the decision of having a foam truck was made by the Emergency Management Board and the Fire Department as 5
