BACKGROUND
The Gaston County Solid Waste Division is committed to providing a safe, economical, and environmentally sensitive waste disposal facility for the citizens and businesses of Gaston County that meets or exceeds all applicable State and/or Federal regulations. In an effort to reduce impacts to the surrounding neighbors and to reduce the cost of future operations, the Gaston County Solid Waste Division seeks opportunities to purchase additional buffer property adjacent to the active landfill site. In addition to providing buffer from daily operations, additional property outside the permitted landfill area allows the Solid Waste Division to utilize soil that would otherwise need to be purchase off-site and transported for landfill use in daily operations. Recently, a parcel was purchased by Gaston County for that purpose. To allow the property owner sufficient time to construct a residence elsewhere and to relocate, the Solid Waste Division has drafted a residential lease agreement outlining the terms and conditions of a lease. Approval of this Board Action adopts and accepts the lease terms on behalf of Gaston County and authorizes the County Manager or his designee to execute said documents. No additional County funds are required as a result of this agreement.
