Staff has been working with
consultants to assess the capacity of the Construction,
Demolition and Debris (CDD) Waste Landfill (Permit #149 the
Old Landfill) and Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) Landfill
(Permit #575).
The CDD landfill is
permitted to operate through June 30, 2008. At the current
rate of landfilling, it is expected that the available space
will be sufficient for approximately the next twelve (12)
months, or until November 2006. This operation provides
significant revenue to the County that has been used to
undertake capital improvements at the landfill, as well as
to allow reduced MSW rates that benefit the County and
Towns. The staff will review options pertaining to this
important revenue generating activity.
Preliminary information will
be introduced concerning options for future MSW landfill
needs. The current site is forecast to meet these needs for
next ten to fourteen years. The work session is to discuss
options and provide guidance concerning future CDD
operations.
