40,000 tons/year rotary kiln incinerator <br /> 10,000 tons/year thermal treatment <br /> for contaminated soils <br /> 15,000 tons/year solvent distillation and recovery <br /> 10,000 tons/year residuals landfill <br /> for incinerator ash and <br /> solvent distillation still bottoms <br /> North Carolina's Superfund clean-ups will be treated on <br /> site or at other facilities within North Carolina. <br /> <br /> Regional approaches to hazardous waste management are <br /> being initiated nation-wide to~provide a coordinated and <br /> reciprocal effort for establishing regionally needed <br /> facilities. Ail the states have participated to some extent <br /> in regional discussions within their own Environmental <br /> Protection Agency (EPA) regional groups. A regional <br /> approach offers economies of facility cost by reducing the <br /> duplication of facilities operating in nearby states. <br /> <br /> The Hazardous Waste Management Commission is now <br /> required to recommend the site[s), design technologies, <br /> permit and construction schedule, and operator for the <br /> authorized facilities. <br /> <br /> As these facilities are being planned, permitted and <br />constructed, the Commission is undertaking a concerted <br />effort to provide avenues for the participation of <br />interested citizens throughout the State. Through the <br />pubiic hearings now being held, citizens may contribute <br />their comments on the development of criteria which will be <br />used to select suitable sites. <br /> <br /> Through monies already budgeted, citizens residing near <br />areas designated as suitable and preferential for site <br />development will have access to technical assistance grants <br />for study and evaluation of the pro3ect. <br /> <br /> The Hazardous Waste Management Commission intends to <br />work toward making all North Carolina communities aware of <br />their authority to participate, plan and comment on the <br />development of these much-needed facilities. <br /> <br />HWMC: 1/90 <br /> <br /> <br />
