090 <br /> • Orange Regional Landfill <br /> Proposed 1988-89 Program <br /> May 17, 1988 <br /> • <br /> Landfill Fee Background <br /> In the past, the unrestricted reserves of the landfill fund were <br /> adequate to fund all needed equipment and land purchases. These <br /> reserves are effectively depleted with the current year's <br /> purchase of a bulldozer. Consequently all revenues are from a <br /> zero base budget. <br /> The base budget proposed for operation of the landfill in 1988-89 <br /> includes a change in the manner in which capital requirements for <br /> future purchases are determined. Reserves for future purchases <br /> will be determined based on a sinking fund concept in which a <br /> capital contribution equal to the pro-rated share of the <br /> projected replacement cost of the equipment is placed in reserve. <br /> Up until this year, the capital requirement was determined using <br /> a depreciation schedule based on the initial purchase price of <br /> the equipment in use. The new method provides a more accurate <br /> picture of future capital needs. <br /> Landfill Improvements <br /> Significant costs will be incurred to construct access roads and <br /> drainage and erosion control devices to support our operations on <br /> the north side of the road. The improvements in drainage and <br /> erosion control are required by the state as they tighten <br /> restrictions on stormwater runoff. <br /> Recycling <br /> • One of two major additions to the Solid Waste Disposal Budget is <br /> the creation of a permanent recycling program to be staffed by a <br /> Solid Waste Planner. The recycling program will include <br /> expansion of the present drop-off recycling program as well as <br /> the addition of a pilot project for curbside collection of <br /> residential recyclable s. <br /> Landfill Liners • <br /> The other major addition to the budget is the initial <br /> contribution to engineering and construction of a lined landfill <br /> on the south side of the road. The state now requires landfill <br /> owners and operators to of a performance standard of no <br /> measureable pollution of the groundwater from landfill operation. <br /> For almost any landfill, this means either proving that the <br /> landfill will never contaminate the groundwater -- an almost <br /> impossible task -- or installation of a liner, monitoring wells <br /> and leachate collection systems. HDR Engineering has estimated <br /> the cost of lining the south side of the Orange Regional Landfill <br /> with a synthetic liner would be $3 million dollars for two cells <br /> of twenty acres each. <br />
