47 <br />General Engineering and Environmental Management Services <br />Moore County Sanitary Landfill, Moore County, North Carolina <br />Multiple project activities have included the evaluation of private versus public <br />disposal options available to the county and the issuance of a Request for Proposal <br />(RFP) for selection of a private contractor to transport and dispose of Moore <br />County's waste. The RFP evaluation and subsequent contract negotiations with <br />selected disposal service companies formed the technical basis for development of <br />this private disposal program to serve the 20 -year needs of the county. A <br />closure /post - closure plan was developed for completed fill areas under the existing <br />operations permit. Plans, specifications, and other engineering permit <br />documentation for conversion of remaining fill areas to a construction and demolition <br />landfill were prepared and approved by the North Carolina Division of Solid Waste <br />Management. In conjunction with the closure plan for completed fill areas, a <br />procurement package for purchase and hauling of off -site clay cap materials was <br />prepared and publicly bid. Phased construction of the final cap was completed in <br />accordance with the approved closure plan and construction documents. The <br />construction phase included QA/QC monitoring and final certifications of closure. <br />Project activities have also included the preparation of a countywide solid waste management plan and subsequent <br />update. <br />HDR is currently assisting Moore County and its 11 municipalities with the preparation of an update to the County's Solid <br />Waste Management Plan. The update is being prepared in accordance with North Carolina General Statute 130A- <br />309.09A to establish waste reduction goals for a 10 -year planning period. The planning process involves an assessment <br />of existing conditions and systems, an analysis of recycling markets, the establishment of future needs and goals, <br />recommendations for future systems, and the formulation of an action plan. Public participation will also be an important <br />component of the planning process. <br />Los Angeles, California <br />The City of Los Angeles is striving to accelerate diversion goals to 70 percent diversion <br />by 2015, to add materials and curbside collection programs, and to convert the City's <br />700+ collection trucks to clean- burning liquefied natural gas by 2010. HDR is assisting <br />the City in developing its Solid Waste Integrated Resources Plan that is envisioned to <br />be the City's 20 -year zero waste master plan. The process includes a two -phase <br />approach that involves the following project elements: <br />• Advisory Committees. This process includes house meetings, stakeholder <br />and advisory committees, multiple public workshops in each Council District, <br />Citywide conferences and a coordinated media and public information <br />program. <br />Financial Planning Analysis. This project includes extensive financial <br />planning to ensure the affordability and the ability to finance our <br />recommendations. HDR is researching and assessing the cost and viability of options for waste reduction, <br />recycling, and other waste diversion and the options for management of residual materials. <br />Page 32 IM <br />
