Memorandum <br />To: John Link, County Manager <br />From: Gayle Wilson, Solid Waste Director <br />Subject: Landfill Capacity Update <br />Date: January 31, 2005 <br />The following is a status report on the County landfills. Capacity estimations are subject to a <br />number of variables and therefore are not precise by their very nature. Staf's current best <br />estimate follows: <br />Construction and Demolition Landfill (existing) <br />The current.0 &D landfill, due to incoming waste reductions, is estimated to reach capacity <br />sometime in the fall of 2005. Due primarily to 1) the Regulated Recyclable Material Ordinance <br />and 2) the shifting of waste to out -of- county C &D landfills, C &D waste has dropped from 33,471 <br />tons in FY 2000 /01 to 16,891 tons in FY 2003 /04. This is a 50% reduction within a three -year <br />period. <br />Construction and Demolition Landfill (new) <br />The new C&D landfill is essentially constructed. The associated sedimentation basin has rock in <br />the bottom that must be removed in order to achieve the necessary basin capacity, at which time a <br />submission will be made to the state for an operating permit. This rock is the only known <br />impediment to obtaining the final permit. We have recently surveyed the rock and ascertained <br />the quantity that must be removed and expect to have the rock removed within 60 days. <br />Presently, the expected capacity of the new C &D landfill is 17 years, or 2022. <br />Municipal Solid Waste Landfill <br />An aerial survey is conducted annually and is used to estimate, among other things, remaining <br />landfill capacity. based on the survey from spring of 2004, the MSW landfill is expected to reach <br />capacity the summer to early fall of 2010. Two items of concern regarding the closing of this <br />landfill are: 1) a location for the transfer station is identified and that the transfer station is <br />developed and ready by the spring of 2010, and 2) that financial provisions are made for funding <br />landfill closure, which could exceed two Million dollars. <br />
