13 I think this is the best site from both an economic impact and minimizes the <br />impact to adjacent areas. The airport is no easily accessed and is upwind from a <br />lot of residential properties and the Tjossem Road site is productive agricultural <br />land, visible from freeway and adjacent to residential housing. <br />14 Although not as close to the city, an area outside the irrigation district would <br />mitigate potential groundwater impacts from solid waste and <br />composting/recycling activities. Areas to the east of Kittitas also receive less <br />annual precipitation, reducing precipitation management issues. Long-term <br />issues associated with solid waste facilities are generally water-related (except <br />landfills, where gas management is also an issue). <br />15 None at this time. Thank you for including the Community in this important <br />process. <br />16 Consider a 3 sided high roof enclosure for recycle containers. This would allow <br />for more items to be recycled (like paper) as the wind would no longer be a <br />factor. <br />21 I assume because of the location of the three preferred sites, you want to hook <br />up to City Services. This may be important, but at what cost to the surrounding <br />area. Just because you get there first does not mean you don't have an <br />obligation to strongly consider the effect on the surrounding areas. Find a <br />different site, like the north side of the Airport that hopefully does not effect <br />anyone. <br />24 I was impressed with how the 2nd meeting was conducted. It was informative <br />and the audience had some insightful questions and comments. I especially like <br />the idea of moving toward a value of less garbage. We need a universal <br />packaging program whereby all packaging is recyclable. <br />25 Needs to be accessible to locals, as well as CWU students, teachers, staff, etc. <br />Most students recycle whenever they can, if its not easy then people will not <br />recycle. The site needs to be accessible for people who live in Ellensburg, but <br />also hidden from new visitors/guests, etc. <br />27 Have you considered moving the composting process only to another site and <br />add on to the existing solid waste structure. I believe there would be plenty of <br />room, and the flooding issues could be easily resolve with a slightly elevated <br />approach road to climb the hill. This could save millions to the county. <br />28 It appears, from the data presented, that the airport site does the best job of <br />balancing zoning, environmental, and cost considerations. <br />ResponseID Response <br />15
