without extending the hours of operation. Because of a limited floor storage area, inbound collection vehicle queuing times can be expected to increase significantly with respect to current disposal operations. The County may want to consider maintaining the simultaneous operation of the South Eubanks Landfill for the diversion of peak tonnages and/or vehicle trips and. thus limit the capacity of the proposed temporary transfer facility to approximately 100 tons /day. This option is predicated on the availability of disposal capacity at the South Eubanks facility. It is estimated that construction of the temporary transfer facility would be in the range of $150;000 - $250,000. If the transfer station and landfill are operated simultaneously, additional staffing may be required to accommodate the two operations. Collection and handling of contaminated rain water from tl~e uncovered waste storage area will pose. a signif cant operational challenge. This could be mitigated if the temporary transfer facility were constructed on the landfill. 2. Extended-Term Contingency Plan A. tDption 1-South Eubanks MSWLF Under this option the South Eubanks MSWLF would continue to be operated. As in the case of Option 1 of the Short-Term Contingency Plan the estimated remaining capacity would be allocated to public sector users. Private Sector use would be restricted as required to retain adequate disposal capacity far public sector use during the delay period. As previously noted under the Short-Term Contingency Plan, the South Eubanks MSWL}? must. have disposal capacity (available air space) remaining at the projected time of closure for this option to be viable. Confirmation of disposal capacity will be needed to validate this option. It should be reiterated that restriction of private sector access may have along-term effect on the total waste disposal quantities received by the County in the future. B. Option 2 -Temporary Transfer Facility & South Eubanks MSWLF This option entails the construction of a temporary transfer facility to divert waste on an extended-term basis to private sector or public sector disposal facilities. In conjunction with this transfer of waste the South. Eubanks MSWLF would continue to be operated to handle transfer station oveY•flow (tonnages > 100 TPD) and high citizen traffic volume. Under this option it is proposed that the existing metals drop-off facility be converted to a lift and load type transfer facility. This conversion would be more extensive than that required under the Short-Term Contingency Plan and includes construction of push-walls (portable T-wall), expansion of the Page-2
