Section 4 <br />Waste Management Reduction Programs <br />Table 4 -10. Waste Transfer - Intended Actions <br />Jurisdiction Intended Action <br />Cabarrus County 1. In cooperation with municipalities, evaluate the need for additional transfer stations based on waste <br />flow and the location of future waste management sites. <br />In general, the County has transferred less than 1 <br />percent of waste out -of- County from 2004 to 2008. <br />It is anticipated that the amount of waste <br />transferred out of the County will remain low for <br />the next several years based on recent trends. <br />4.6.2 Intended Actions <br />Table 4 -10 lists the intended actions established by <br />the jurisdictions of Cabarrus County to meet their <br />goals pertaining to waste transfer. A summary of <br />progress made toward actions specified in the <br />previous Plan Update is included in Appendix C. <br />4.7 Disposal <br />As of January 2008, there were ten permitted and <br />active disposal facilities in Cabarrus County <br />including one MSW landfill, two C &D landfills, <br />two LCID facilities, two yard waste processing <br />facilities, one medical waste disposal facility, and <br />one tire and HHW facility. Table 4 -11 lists these <br />disposal facilities and their locations. <br />4.7.1 MSW Disposal <br />The County ceased using its landfill for municipal <br />solid waste disposal after its closure in December <br />1997. MSW generated in the County, <br />unincorporated areas, and the municipalities is <br />disposed at the CMS Landfill. It is anticipated that <br />MSW will continue to be disposed at the CMS <br />landfill through the next Solid Waste Management <br />Plan Update. Based on the average tons of MSW <br />disposed per year, the CMS landfill currently has <br />approximately 24 years of capacity remaining. <br />Figure 4 -2 shows the amount of Cabarrus County- <br />generated MSW disposed at the in -County CMS <br />landfill, out -of- County, and out -of -State facilities <br />for FY 2000 through 2008, based on County <br />disposal reports provided by the State. The CMS <br />Subtitle D Landfill has been accepting waste since <br />March 6,1992. <br />Figure 4-2 <br />Tons of Cabarrus County - Generated MSW Disposed <br />200,000 <br />180,000 <br />160,000 <br />140,000 <br />120,000 <br />N <br />c 100,000 <br />80,000 <br />60,000 <br />40,000 <br />20,000 <br />0 <br />2000 2001 2002 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007 2008 <br />--01--Cabarrus County CMS LF Out -of- County tOut -of -State Total <br />4 -11 <br />Attachment number 3 <br />F -15 Page 395 <br />
