A short term contingency plan was developed fora 2-4 month delay scenario and a second extended term contingency plan was developed fora 4-12 month delay scenario. 1. Short-Term Contingency Plan A. Option 1-South Eubanks MSWLF Under this option the South Eubanks MSWLF would continue to be operated. The estimated'rernaining capacity would be allocated to public sector users. . Private Sector use would be restricted as required to retain adequate disposal capacity for public sector use allocations during the delay period. For this option to be viable, the South Eubanks MSWLF must have disposal capacity (available air space) remaining at the projected time of closure. Confirmation of disposal capacity will be needed to validate this option. It should. also be noted. that restriction of private sector access may have a long- term effect on the total waste disposal quantities received by the County in the future. S. Option 2 -Temporary Transfer Facility This option entails the construction of a temporary transfer facility to divert waste. on ashort-term basis to private sector or public sector disposal facilities. Under this option it is praposed that the existing rrretals drop-off facility be converted to a lift: and load type transfer facility. This conversion would require construction of temporary push-walls, expansion of the exisring. slab-on-grade area to accommodate waste storage, installation of chain link containment fencing, and modification of the lower level load out area to accommodate transfer trailer access. It is estimated that the capacity of these modifications would be limited to approximately 100-120 tans per day Page-1
