Draper Aden Associates has provided comprehensive solid waste management services to Orange County for many years as well ast other local governments and local government entities for over three decades in the Mid-Atlantic and Southeastern regions. Since we have concentrated on serving local governments,we understand the constraints under which local governments operate. Several factors are important to successful solid waste management programs including comprehensive asset management, service to citizens,and management of regulatory compliance and environmental liabilities. A comprehensive asset management strategy evaluates revenue-generating facilities, like the active Eubanks Road Solid Waste Facility,and the value associated with the available air space versus maintenance costs and regulatory compliance issues at closed facilities, like the two MSW landfills on this site.This approach evaluates both the long-term, life-cycle costs versus the short-term operational concerns to develop an appropriate operational and compliance strategy that addresses the pressures to provide ever-increasing services more cost-effectively. Section Two of this proposal outlines the range of solid waste management services we provide to our clients and illustrates the ways in which we are best positioned to assist OCSWM with your solid waste management operations. Landfill Engineering, Permitting,and Construction Our design permitting services have resulted in successful projects for the development of new landfills with state-of-the-art liner and leachate collection systems,as well as cap design and closure as airspace is filled. Additionally,we work with owners to bid and procure the services of qualified contractors to competitively implement the design.Our construction management, geotechnical,and surveying services ensure that the construction projects are completed according to specifications and regulatory requirements.These personnel specialize in landfill construction projects and are therefore able to efficiently complete the required testing and surveying needed to complete projects on time and on budget. We have provided design and permitting services for construction and demolition debris landfills,yardwaste facilities,convenience and collection centers,and recycling facilities. We continually evaluate new technologies for applications to solid waste related projects. Laser scanning technology has proven useful and cost-effective for quickly calculating soil stockpile volumes and managing soil resources.Aerial mapping technologies are also rapidly evolving and are reducing costs for topographic mapping to determine compaction rates and remaining air space.As these costs come down, more frequent aerial surveying becomes possible and enables you to more closely monitor operations and revise plans and practices as needed. Relationships with NCDEQ are critical to successful permitting, construction and operation of solid waste facilities.The relationships we have developed over the years have enabled us to complete design, permitting, E nga er Aden A ociate uicea r n urveviog • Environmental Ser
