There are five options for managing <br />construction ar_d demolition waste once the existing site is full <br />in~Iess than two and one half years. Those options, including <br />some of the financial implications of each, were presented in the <br />public forum portion of the Jar_uary 22 agenaa (agenda ite_*n 2a). <br />The financial implications are briefly =eiterated in this <br />memo ra_ndum . <br />Hackaround <br />P.ccording to staff analysis, to 1997-98 landfill budget will. <br />require a signi=icant increase in~the tipping.fee for mixed .waste <br />and construction waste simply to make up for the shortfall due to <br />losing the coal ash revenues. If alterative types of financi__^_g <br />are adopted (please see Agenda T4), theme tipping fee increases <br />could be limited or the tip fee reduced. <br />various future .::anage.*aent alter^.atives include closing t:~e <br />construction ~ard demolition waste landf'__1, building a transfer <br />station to shin out construction and demolition wastes, building <br />a la_*ldfill only, building amanually-onerted sorting facility or <br />building asemi-automated sorting facili_y. Any of these would <br />increase tie cost of managing cor_struction ar_d de_*nolition wastes. <br />The ":.o build" alternative would result ?r_ costs to cor_st:^.:ct_or_ <br />cor_=ractors and developers, not directly to the Owners Group. <br />Noss of Lose tipping fee revenues would bo*aever glace <br />sicificant burcen en landfill finances, especially absent <br />_ources of rave _~~e other tha_z tipping fees . <br />Orcer a.-~v const_~ction ar_d de_**.olition waste ma.*~agement scenario, <br />t e :our goverr_Tents could ir_c' ode solid :vaste planning <br />rec.:irere :ts in t air permitting process i n a_~ ef=ort to recc:c= <br />cor_struc~ior_ wastes (please see agenda =~~) .
