Summary Explanation and Background:
In order to extend the life of the Sarno Road Landfill, select Class III waste is being diverted from disposal in the landfill and routed through the transfer station to be disposed at the Central Disposal Facility. In addition to the diverted Class III waste, there has been an approximately 10% increase in the volume of Class I waste being disposed at the Sarno Road Transfer Station from 2020 to 2021. This increase in waste requires a temporary expansion of the existing County transfer fleet through the use of a contracted waste hauler. The temporary use of a contracted waste hauler for Class I waste from the transfer station will account for the time between advertising a bid for the purchase of additional semi-trucks to expand the County transfer fleet and the receiving of those trucks for County use.
While a replacement Class III landfill is being constructed at the US192 Solid Waste Management Facility, there is a potential that the replacement landfill will not be available to receive waste before the Sarno Road Landfill reaches full capacity. Once the Sarno Road Landfill reaches full capacity, Class III waste brought to the facility will require transloading and hauling to the Central Disposal Facility. Due to the nature of the Class III/Construction and Demolition waste, the transfer station cannot be used for this transloading. Transloading will take place by transferring the Class III waste unloaded on the top deck of the landfill to the transfer trailers of the contracted waste hauler and hauling it to the Central Disposal Facility.
Based on the information above, it is requested the Board approve the requested actions Solid Waste Hauling Services for Class I and Class III Solid Waste from Sarno Road Transfer Station and the Sarno Road Class III Landfill to the Central Disposal Facility.
