Memorandum <br /> To: Frank Clifton,County Manager <br /> From: Gayle Wilson,Solid Waste Director <br /> Subject: March 15,2012 CIP Work Session Follow-up <br /> Date: Friday, March 23,2012 <br /> At the March 15 CIP Work Session a Commissioner requested staff provide an estimate of the annual <br /> cost associated with landfill post-closure operational responsibilities. Staff has evaluated the various <br /> costs involved and has estimated these costs to be about$86,113 annually. This estimate assumes <br /> direct costs only and includes both the previously closed (1996) municipal waste disposal unit and the <br /> soon to close municipal waste disposal unit. This estimate does not include any costs associated with <br /> the landfill gas recovery system and assumes no extraordinary cap maintenance requirements or <br /> environmental mitigation measures. <br /> If the Board desires details of the various cost components or assumptions staff can provide as <br /> necessary. <br />
