Orange County, North Carolina <br />Proposal - Waste Characterization Study <br /> <br /> Orange County WCS KCI Proposal <br />26 <br />well as provide information to ECUA on how to improve its recycling program. KCI was responsible <br />for all aspects of project planning and execution including field work, data analysis, and preparing a <br />technical memorandum. <br />Sarasota County, Florida <br />Contact: Brian Usher, Solid Waste Director, (941) 861-1532 <br />Countywide Waste Composition Study – Landfill Analysis <br />KCI was retained to perform a one-season, five-day sorting event to <br />understand material categories and weights disposed of at the <br />Central County Solid Waste Disposal Complex (Landfill). Three <br />generator sectors were targeted: (1) single-family residential, (2) <br />multi-family residential, and (3) commercial or institutional. In <br />addition to providing a comprehensive understanding of materials <br />and weights being disposed, results enabled the comparison <br />between waste generated in the unincorporated county with the <br />combined waste generated in other municipalities. The county <br />utilized the data obtained to understand additional materials for <br />diversion to improve their overall program and increase the <br />lifespan of their landfill facility. <br />Construction and Demolition (C&D) Material Audit <br />The Sarasota County C&D Facility accepts, processes, recycles, and disposes of the C&D debris received <br />at the Landfill. Recovered materials are sent to available local markets to increase recovery and <br />diversion rates. The county retained KCI to perform a three-day C&D visual audit to define the weights <br />of material categories on the inbound C&D stream. Results from this study helped identify C&D <br />materials requiring disposal, or if existing or expanded local markets could be leveraged to improve <br />recovery. This assisted the county further its sustainability goal to help foster in-roads for developing <br />C&D recovery markets in Florida. <br /> <br />Fayetteville, Arkansas <br />Contact: Peter Nierengarten, PE, Environmental Director, (479) 575-8272 <br />Contact: Brian Pugh, Waste Reduction Coordinator, (479) 718-7685 <br /> <br />Waste Characterization Study <br /> <br />KCI assisted the City of Fayetteville, AR in developing a Master Plan aimed at achieving an efficient, cost- <br />effective solid waste system to maximize waste reduction and recycling and put the city on a path to <br />attaining its goal of 80 percent waste diversion. In order to achieve this goal, KCI initiated the project <br />with a citywide WCS to determine the types and quantities of waste currently being disposed by the <br />residential and commercial sectors. In addition, KCI also conducted a separate WCS of waste disposed <br />on the University of Arkansas campus, which lies within the city limits. For the University, KCI looked at <br />waste from four distinct areas of the campus: Housing, Student Union, Athletics, and Facilities. The <br />results provided by these two studies were used in the master planning process to identify waste <br />diversion opportunities and to explore future partnerships between the city and the University. The <br />final deliverable was a comprehensive, forward-thinking Solid Waste Master Plan for the city. <br />“KCI engages to make sure they <br />understand our needs, openly <br />discuss solutions, and translate <br />our end-goals into action items <br />that meet our program <br />objectives.” <br /> <br />Brian Usher <br />Solid Waste Director <br />Sarasota County, FL <br />Docusign Envelope ID: 1223AA0B-DDEC-4EBE-8FEA-427010558A5C
