It' 2 FEB 2 '7 1989 • TOWN OF CHAPEL HILL 306 NORTH COLUMBIA STREET CHAPEL HILL,NORTH CAROLINA 27516 Telephone(919)968-2700 To: Landfill Owner' s Group From: Bruce Heflin, Public Works Direct° , • Re : Responses to Questions and Comments fo, Last LOG Meeting Date: February 23, 1989 At the last LOG meeting, several questions regarding tipping fees , the landfill budget, and the recycling programs were raised. This is to respond to those questions . We have calculated tipping fees for FY 1989-90 based on a total revenue requirement of $1, 992, 500. This revenue requirement is $100 , 000 less than originally projected because- we plan to use excess revenues from tip fees from the present year to pay for part of the liner for the south side of Eubanks Rd. The contribution to the liner from the fee-based revenue was to be $300, 000. This has been reduced to $200,000 with addition of $100, 000 to come from the reserves . See attached memo and spread sheet from Randy Ballard for details . The budget includes costs' for the following: Landfill operations, personnel and equipment, General recycling program, Curbside recycling program, Engineering studies of options for waste volume reduction, Search for a new landfill site, A portion of the payment for a landfill liner for the south side of the present landfill, and Groundwater monitoring. In order to generate sufficient revenue to cover all costs , we have assumed that we will take in 116, 000 tons of solid waste. That is a net 4.52 increase, after recycling, over the 110, 000 tons we project for the current fiscal year. That waste will have the following composition based on data collected during 1988-891 General trash 752: 87 ,000 tons Construction wastes & bulky wastes e .g. brush 192 22, 000 tons Ash from the UNC Power Plant, 62 , 7, 000 tons See the attached spread sheet for cost and revenue details . 1
