Key Issues * would likely require special equipment to be procured * no such facilities exist which we could emulate; no apparent history * hauling large quantities of these materials even short distances would be expensive * permitted facilities which could receive our C &D waste exist within the region at a reasonable tipping fee * we believe it would be possible to build a transfer station that could handle both C &D and MSW wastes * will not provide for adequate means for emergency /disaster waste response Costs While we have not conducted the research necessary to provide reliable cost information, we are certain that the costs to transfer this material would exceed the cost of a typical municipal solid waste transfer station. We would expect the cost of disposal at the distant facility, however, would be reasonable. D. Joint C &D/MSW Transfer Station Most of the issues surrounding transferring C &D waste were discussed in section C. above. We believe that it would be possible to construct a transfer station capable of handling both C &D and MSW. Key Issues * would likely require special equipment to be procured * facilities do exist with receive MSW and small quantities of C &D * hauling costs for MSW would be increased while disposal costs for C &D would be greater * mixing C &D waste with MSW would require the C &D materials to be placed in an expensive lined landfill at a greater distance from Orange County that if C &D were kept separate * will not provide for adequate means for emergency /disaster waste response Costs We believe that the costs for such a dual purpose facility would be significantly more than a MSW only facility. Also, if the two materials were co- mingled, the C &D portion would be required to be buried in a lined, Subtitle D landfill at a much greater cost that disposal in a C &D landfill. 17
