While developing a compost <br />facility does not require capital investment in mechanical equipment, the additional acreage, site <br />work, landscaping, and material handling equipment necessary to operate a composting <br />operation offsets these capital expenditures. <br />9.1.4 Estimated Transfer Station / MRF and Transfer Station/ <br />Compost Facility Operations Costs <br />Exhibit 9-4 and Exhibit 9-5 present the estimated annual operation costs for the co-located <br />transfer station/MRF scenarios and transfer station/compost facilities, respectively. The annual <br />operational costs include personnel, and equipment needed to operate a transfer station/MRF and <br />transfer station/compost facility. The annual operational costs also include an annual permit <br />renewal fee ($1,500).
