5 2015 Crawford County Solid Waste Plan Update DRAFT 10/2/15 Section I. INTRODUCTION On March 16, 1989, the Board of County Commissioners of Crawford County formed a single county solid waste management district (Appendix A). The Crawford County Solid Waste Management District (referred to herein as the District or Crawford County ) includes all incorporated and unincorporated territory in Crawford County. At the same time, the Crawford County Commissioners appointed a Solid Waste Management Policy Committee comprised of members representing the county, municipalities, townships, industry, commercial businesses and citizens at large. The initial Crawford County Solid Waste Management Plan was approved in September, The responsibilities of the District include preparing, monitoring, and updating the solid waste management plan for Crawford County and administering the facilities and programs that are included in the plan. This Plan Update has been prepared in accordance with the requirements contained in the ORC, the OAC and Format 3.0 prescribed by Ohio EPA (the Solid Waste Management District Plan Format). A. Plan Approval Date, Counties in District and Planning Period Length Under Current Approved Plan a. The District's Plan was approved in June 30, b. The District is comprised of Crawford County. c. The District has a 15 year planning period. Plan to be Implemented With Approval of This Document a. The District is comprised of Crawford County. b. This plan has a 15 year planning period. c. Year one (1) of the planning period is B. Reasons for Plan Submittal This update to the Crawford County Solid Waste Management District (hereafter referred to as the District ) solid waste management plan (hereafter referred to as Plan Update ) represents the District s five-year update to its solid waste management plan as required by Ohio Revised Code (ORC) Section C. Process to Determine Material Change in Circumstances This section of the Plan Update outlines the process to determine whether a material change in circumstances has occurred. If a material change in circumstances occurs, the District Plan must be updated (ORC (D)). If a plan update is required due to a material change in circumstances, the plan update 1 The Ohio EPA Plan Format 3.0 which is the guide for this Plan states, Districts must establish a planning period which begins the calendar year following the draft plan due date for the district. The draft plan is due in June 30, 2015 so the first year of the planning period is I-1

6 2015 Crawford County Solid Waste Plan Update DRAFT 10/2/15 must address those portions of the plan that need to be modified due to the change. A plan amendment involving fees or designation that does not require modification of any other part of the plan requires ratification, but not Ohio Environmental Protection Agency approval. However, if any other portion of the plan is modified, the entire plan must be updated. Moreover, the updated plan must be ratified, submitted to Ohio EPA, and approved by Ohio EPA prior to becoming effective. A material change in circumstances shall be defined as a change that significantly interferes with the ability of the Board to: (1) assure waste disposal capacity during the planning period; (2) maintain compliance with applicable waste reduction or access goals; or (3) adequately finance implementation of the Plan Update. 1. Circumstances that May Result in a Material Change The Board shall make the determination of whether a material change in circumstances has occurred according to the following guidelines: a. Reduction in Waste Disposal Capacity The Crawford County Sanitary Landfill, by designation, receives all waste generated in the District. District staff will annually monitor the availability of solid waste disposal capacity at the Crawford County Sanitary Landfill and will provide information to the Board and Policy Committee when the remaining capacity falls below three years, Reductions in capacity of the publicly-available landfills used for disposal of solid waste generated in Crawford County which cause the total available disposal capacity to fall below 150% of the average daily amount of solid waste that is generated in the District except to the extent that ongoing negotiations of additional arrangements will cure any deficiency; b. Compliance with Applicable Waste Reduction or Access Goals Changes in strategies for or availability of waste reduction or recycling programs and facilities which result in the District not being in compliance with Goal #1 as required by this plan except a temporary reduction in recycling access that is in the processes of being remedied and will not be more than six months in duration. Additional programs, expansion of existing programs or adjustments in programs that do not reduce the available access to recycling shall not constitute a materials change in circumstances; c. Adequate Finances Inadequate funding to maintain the District programs required in this plan; d. Timely Implementation Delay of more than one year in the implementation of programs and/or activities in the Schedule of Facilities and Programs that is included in this plan as Table VI Monitoring Procedures The District will use its normal operational procedures to monitor plan implementation and I-2

7 2015 Crawford County Solid Waste Plan Update DRAFT 10/2/15 determine whether and when a material change of circumstances has occurred in the District which requires a plan amendment. The District s Board of Directors meets at least quarterly. The Policy Committee meets at least annually, or as needed, to receive updates from District staff on District activities. The Policy Committee with the assistance of District staff performs an annual review of the implementation of the District Plan. The meeting schedules of the Policy Committee and the Board is frequent and the meeting agendas are comprehensive enough to allow the Policy Committee and the Board of Directors to determine and respond to changing circumstances. 3. Timetable for Making the Material Change Determination Should any member of the Board of Directors believe that a material change of circumstances has occurred, the member will notify the President of the Board of Directors and place an item on the agenda for the next upcoming meeting or schedule a special meeting, as appropriate. The Board will review the changed circumstances, and approve or disapprove a resolution to recommend the preparation of a plan amendment. Unless the time period is formally extended by the Board, the Board will make a determination on whether to request that a plan amendment be prepared by the Policy Committee within 90 days after the matter is first placed on its agenda, and will provide press releases to newspapers of general circulation within the county, informing public of its decision. The Board will also notify the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency. If a recommendation for a plan amendment is adopted; the Policy Committee will prepare the plan amendment to address the material change of circumstances. The schedule for development of the plan amendment, approval, ratification, and implementation, will be established by the Policy Committee, depending upon the extent of the amendment required to address the change in circumstances. D. District Formation and Certification Statement 1. District Formation The Crawford County Solid Waste Management District has not undergone a reconfiguration since its formation in A copy of the original resolution to establish the Crawford County Solid Waste Management District is submitted in Appendix A. 2. Public Notice Copies of all public notices and notices publicizing hearings and comments on the Plan Update are contained in Appendix B. (TO BE ADDED TO RATIFIED PLAN) 3. Certification and Adoption Statements The certification statement for the draft plan was signed by the Board of Directors prior to submitting the plan to the Ohio EPA for review and is located in Appendix C. The resolution of the Board of Directors adopting the solid waste management plan after the Board considered the comments received during the public comment and public hearing process is included in Appendix C. Following ratification of the plan, the resolution of the Board of Trustees certifying ratification will be included in Appendix C. (TO BE ADDED TO RATIFIED PLAN) I-3

10 2015 Crawford County Solid Waste Plan Update DRAFT 10/2/15 The 2010 Plan maintained the infrastructure of a variety of District-provided services. This Plan Update provides details on the District s programs, for which the District provided general administrative assistance. Waste Reduction, Reuse, and Recycling Public information and education program Crawford County Recycling Center operation Industrial and Commercial recycling Community volunteer based collection programs Special collections Technical assistance Yard Waste Management Community-based yard waste programs Public education and technical assistance Waste Tire Management Program Public education, hotline, and coordination Waste tire collection at the Crawford County Recycling Center Private sector activities Household Hazardous Waste Management Public education, hotline, and exchange HHW collections at the Crawford County Recycling Center HHW collections at the Crawford County Fairgrounds The operation of a county-owned recycling facility is the core of the District s programs. The Crawford County Recycling Center encompasses 7,500 square feet and consists of an office trailer and a handling and storage building, which is equipped to handle and process recyclables. The center also has several trucks, trailers, and various bins and other containers for the pickup of recyclables at various collection points in the County and the transport of the recyclables to the center. Details on the type and quantity of equipment owned by the District are included in Chapter IV. The Recycling Center is open on Mondays through Fridays from 8:00 am to 4:00 pm (closed on Saturdays and Sundays) and is operated by eight full time employees and one full time administrative assistant. The Recycling Center processes a wide range of recyclable materials including: OCC-boxboard, mixed office paper, newsprint, steel cans, aluminum cans, household batteries, lead acid batteries, used motor oil, used cooking oil, used antifreeze, scrap steel, appliances, tires, electronics, televisions, plastic film, plastics #1 through #7, magazines, catalogs, hard back books, fluorescent lamps, clear-brown-green-blue glass. On average, the Recycling Center processes over 1,502 tons of recyclables in a year. In addition to the walk-in recycling center, the District offers full-time services throughout the County from the strategic placement of 24/7 recycling trailers and part-time recycling trailers throughout the County for residential use. The District also has containers available for use by commercial and industrial businesses located in the County. The District has 113 cardboard dumpsters available for businesses to use at a cost of $20 per month per container with free collection service. The dumpsters are available in a number of sizes to meet the needs of individual businesses, with sizes ranging from 1, 2, 3, 4, 6 and 8 cubic yard. The District also has two sizes of roll carts (35 gallon or 95 gallon) available for businesses to use for paper, plastic, magazines, newsprint at no cost with free collection service. II-2

11 2015 Crawford County Solid Waste Plan Update DRAFT 10/2/15 Among the programs that have worked as anticipated and are considered very successful are the continued management of a number of facility drop-off and pick-up locations, the year-round collection of scrap tires and the HHW, waste oil, used cooking oil and used battery collections. A key to the success of these programs appears to be their high visibility with residents and community officials. B. Solid Waste Management Plan Update This 2015 Plan Update was prepared to demonstrate compliance with the eight goals of the 2001 State Solid Waste Management Plan (2001 State Plan). This Plan Update follows Ohio EPA s Solid Waste Management Plan Format (Format), version 3.0. The Format requires specific narrative information and data tables. There are nine major sections to the Format which appear in this plan update: Section I - includes basic information about the District. Section II is the Executive Summary. Section III - includes an inventory of facilities, activities, and haulers used by the District to manage waste in the reference year (2013). Section IV - includes the reference year statistics for the Plan Update including population data, waste generation and waste reduction estimations for the residential/commercial sector and the industrial sector. Section IV also contains detailed descriptions of the recycling and waste reduction programs that were offered by the District in the reference year. Section V - includes projections of population, waste generation and waste reduction for the planning period. Section V also contains descriptions of the recycling and waste reduction programs that will be offered by the District during the planning period. Section VI - includes the District s anticipated strategy for managing the waste that is projected to be generated throughout the planning period. Section VII - demonstrates the District s compliance with Goals #1 and #2 of the 2001 State Plan. Section VIII - includes a presentation of the financial resources of the District as well as the projected expenditures the District will make during the planning period. Section IX summarizes the District s authority to adopt rules. C. Overview of Sections III through IX The following is a brief description of Sections III through IX of this Solid Waste Management Plan Update: Section III identifies seven (7) landfills, three (3) transfer facilities, one (1) recycling center and four (4) buy back facilities used by the District in 2013, the reference year. This section notes that there were no publicly available incinerators, resource recovery facilities, or MSW composting facilities utilized by the District for the year, although the District utilized one (1) captive incinerator. The District waste reduction programs and public information and education programs are identified. The plan notes the reliance on the private sector to provide services and facilities in the reference year. There were no open dump sites, ash disposal sites, or foundry sand sites in the District in The waste hauling companies serving the District are also identified. Section IV presents the reference year population, waste generation, and waste reduction. The reference year population is 42,826, which includes 18 people who live in the portion of Crestline Village that is situated in Richland County. Reference year waste generation amounted to 78,656 tons, of which 49,397 tons (63%) were recycled. The amount of Crawford County waste disposed of in landfills amounted to 29,259 tons, of which 97.5% (28,526 tons) were received at the Crawford County Solid Waste District. II-3

12 2015 Crawford County Solid Waste Plan Update DRAFT 10/2/15 Section IV also includes information on exempt waste and a presentation of the reconciliation of waste generation. This reconciliation resulted in revising the Franklin Associates national per capita residential/commercial waste generation figure of 4.38 pounds per person per day reported for 2012, to 4.65 for use during the reference year calculations due to the surveying efforts by the District. Section V presents the planning period projections and strategies. Solid waste generation in Crawford County is expected to continue to decrease during the planning period: from 76,031 tons in 2016 to 75,073 tons in 2020 (year 5) and 73,892 tons in 2025 (year 10). Projections of the waste stream composition and the amounts of waste to be diverted from landfilling are presented. Total waste reduction is 49,574 tons in 2016; 49,827 tons in 2020; and 50,173 tons in District and community solid waste programs and strategies are identified. These programs and activities consist of primarily programs for residential recycling including full time and part time drop off locations; yard waste management facilities; and programs and activities for handling other wastes prohibited from landfills. In Section VI, the Plan identifies the facilities and programs to be used by the District to meet capacity requirements during the planning period. The Crawford County Board of Commissioners has identified the Crawford County Solid Waste Facility as the designated disposal facility utilized by the District. At the end of 2013, the Crawford County facility had disposal capacity through 2023 with an expansion application pending with Ohio EPA. The Policy Committee will monitor the capacity of the Crawford County facility during the plan and as a contingency will consider directing solid waste to a nearby landfill from 2023 forward should the expansion of the Crawford County landfill not occur. The services and facilities of both in-district and out-of-district businesses will meet the District s recycling needs. Yard waste management needs are to be met by the District through a variety of community-based programs. The Plan authorizes the District to designate facilities, and the Plan states there is not a medium or a high degree of uncertainty regarding facility capacity to meet the District's needs. The 2001 State Plan establishes eight goals for districts to achieve in waste management, including recycling and waste minimization. However, Goal #1 and Goal #2 are considered primary goals and the 2001 State Plan requires districts to strive for compliance with either Goal #1 or Goal #2 in order to obtain an approved solid waste management plan. Section VII of the Plan measures the progress the District is making in meeting these two primary waste reduction goals. The Plan states that the District had a waste reduction rate for the district in the reference year (2013) of 64%. The waste reduction rate (WRR) for the district in the future is expected to increase from 65% in 2016 to 69.5% by The District has chosen to demonstrate continued compliance with both Goal #1 (Access Goal) and Goal #2 (Recycling Goal). Section VII demonstrates the District s continued compliance with Goal #2 (Recycling Goal) for both the Residential/Commercial Sector (35.3% WRR in 2013) and Industrial Sector (94.4% WRR in 2013). II-4

13 2015 Crawford County Solid Waste Plan Update DRAFT 10/2/15 The cost of Crawford County District programs and the method of financing these programs are presented in Section VIII. The source of the District s revenue includes: tier fees, generation fees, recycling drop-off revenue and revenue generated from the sale of recyclables. The draft plan update proposes increases in both the tier fees and generation fees in The District tier fees will increase from $1.00/$2.65/$1.00 per ton for in-district/out-of-district/out-of-state waste, respectively, to $2.00/$4.00/$1.00 per ton. Starting in 2016, the generation fee will be increased from $2.00/ton to $3.00/ton for the duration of the plan, and then increased again in five year increments, to $4.00/ton in 2021 and to $4.50/ton in The documented current remaining capacity at the Crawford County landfill will provide disposal options to the District through An application to expand the landfill has been submitted to Ohio EPA and the District believes it is very likely that the expansion will be granted to ensure landfill capacity beyond 2023, by as much as 17 years. During the planning period and in anticipation of the next plan update in 2020, the District will closely monitor the capacity at the Crawford County landfill and develop a contingency plan to be implemented, including but not limited to alternate generation fees. Table VIII-8 illustrates that the total District budget for its programs is anticipated to increase from $523,426 in 2016 to $676,320 in This cost projection reflects a cost escalation of generally 2% per year. Section IX of this Plan states that the District is now authorized to adopt rules in all of the eligible categories. This rule making authority is extended through the 15-year planning period of the Plan. Tables ES-3 and ES-4 provide a "plan profile" which can be used as a quick reference for a quantitative description of the Crawford County Solid Waste Management District and its 5-Year Plan Update.

17 2015 Crawford County Solid Waste Plan Update DRAFT 10/2/15 Section III. INVENTORIES [ORC Section (A)(1)-(4)] This section of the Solid Waste Management Plan Update of the Crawford County Solid Waste Management District contains information on solid waste disposal, waste reduction and transfer facilities used by the District in the reference year, It also contains information on open dumps, waste tire dumps, and solid waste haulers operating within Crawford County in the reference year. Reference year data are shown in Tables III-1 through III-10, which are located at the end of this Chapter. A. Reference Year The Crawford County Solid Waste Management District began the 5-Year Update of its approved Solid Waste Management Plan in 2014, and this Draft Solid Waste Management Plan Update uses 2013 as the reference year. B. Existing Solid Waste Landfills Information on solid waste landfills used by the Crawford County Solid Waste Management District during the year 2013 was obtained from Ohio EPA's 2013 Solid Waste Facility Data Report (FDR). As reported in the 2013 FDR, there is one licensed solid waste landfill in Crawford County - the Crawford County Sanitary Landfill; it is located in Bucyrus and is the designated disposal facility utilized by the District. In the reference year, approximately 97.5% (28,526 tons) of the waste from Crawford County that was sent to landfills was sent to the Crawford County Landfill, see Table III-1S Summary. At the end of 2013, the Crawford County facility had a remaining disposal capacity of 10.5 years. Table III-1S Summary Crawford County Solid Waste Flows - Reference Year (2013) Tons % of total Direct Shipments to Landfills Used by the District 29, % Crawford County Landfill 28, % Total for all Out-Of-County Landfills % Indirectly to landfills from Transfer Facilities % Solid Waste Incinerators and Waste-to Energy Facilities Used by the County % Total 29, % In 2013, six (6) out-of-county landfills reported receiving waste originating in Crawford County: the largest portion (361 tons) was sent to Sunny Farms Landfill, LLC in Seneca County, while 190 tons were sent to the BFI Oakland Marsh/Noble Rd Landfill in Richland County. Information on all landfills that received waste originating in Crawford County is presented in Table III-1. The District does not use landfills located outside of Ohio and no out-of-state waste was accepted at the Crawford County landfill. In 1997, the Crawford County Board of Commissioners adopted a resolution that (1) required the delivery of all solid waste generated in Crawford County to go to a designated facility, and (2) identified the solid waste III-1

18 2015 Crawford County Solid Waste Plan Update DRAFT 10/2/15 facilities that were so designated, which included the Crawford County Sanitary Landfill and any facility located outside of Ohio. As noted in the summary table above, a very small amount (2.5%) of the solid waste generated in Crawford County was disposed out-of-district, but within the state of Ohio in reference year A review of the waste flow data since 2009 reveals that in the last five years 2,295 tons (1.7% of waste generated in Crawford County) was disposed out of district. The yearly amount varied somewhat, from as low as 144 tons in 2011 to as high as 900 tons in 2010, and averaged 459 tons per year. However, nearly 58% (1,326 tons over the five years) of the waste hauled out-of-district was exempt (construction demolition and debris) meaning it would not have been subject to the District s generation fee if it had been disposed at the Crawford County Sanitary Landfill. While the waste tonnage disposed out-of-district is a violation of District rules, it is important to note that the lost generation fees on the 970 tons of non-exempt waste over the last five years averages less than $200 per year (based on the $1.00/ton fee in place for those years), which may be less than the cost to enforce the District s rule. The District agrees that if this small amount of leakage begins trending upward, the District will consider adopting rules under the authority reserved in Chapter IX to prohibit violations of the District s designation resolution. C. Existing Incinerators and Resource Recovery Facilities Incineration was not a primary solid waste disposal method for the District in 2013 and there are no publicly available incinerators or resource recovery facilities located in Crawford County for the disposal of municipal solid waste. In 2013, the amount of solid waste incinerated (as reported on the 2013 FDR) was 0.31 tons of residential/commercial waste; an insignificant amount when compared to the total generation of solid waste as well as the other traditional methods of managing solid waste through recycling and landfill disposal. In 2013, the 0.31 tons of residential/commercial waste incinerated was sent to Stericycle, Inc. which is a captive incinerator located in Geauga County, Ohio. Table III-2 includes information on this incinerator. D. Existing Transfer Facilities There are no solid waste transfer facilities located in Crawford County. During the reference year, tons of solid waste originating in the District was taken to three (3) solid waste transfer facilities located outof-district. All three are publicly available transfer stations located in adjoining Solid Waste Management Districts. The information on these transfer facilities was obtained from the 2013 Ohio Solid Waste Facility Data Report shown in Table III-3. E. Existing Recycling and Household Hazardous Waste Collection Activities There were no curbside recycling programs offered in Crawford County in the reference year, as reflected in Table III-4. However, the District has been very successful in providing recyclable collection through the use of drop-off trailers located at several convenient collection sites throughout Crawford County, including Bucyrus, Galion, Leesville, Crestline, New Washington, Sulphur Springs, Tiro, North Robinson, Lykens and Chatfield as identified in Table III-5. In fact, in 2013, there were twenty-two (22) drop-off recycling collection sites; of which six (6) were full-time (available 24 hours a day, seven days a week) and sixteen (16) were parttime. The trailers are owned and serviced by the CCSWMD. These drop-off sites collected a variety of materials including aluminum and steel containers, glass, plastics, cardboard, newspapers, phone books and magazines. In 2013, these drop-off locations collected over 761 tons of materials. III-2

The Crawford County Recycling Center also serves as a year-round collection facility for household hazardous wastes such as used motor oil, antifreeze, lead-acid batteries, household batteries, and difficult to manage materials including appliances, computers and scrap tires. Materials can be dropped off during regular business hours. Table III-5 identifies the various recycling collections sites and programs offered within the District, including the types of materials accepted. The terms that pertain to recycling are introduced and defined here to facilitate the discussion of specific programs in a way that is consistent throughout the Plan. A more detailed description of the existing recycling facilities and programs is found in Section IV of this Plan. Definitions Pertaining To Recycling And Access To Residential/Commercial Drop-Off Programs Full service dropoff: site must accept at least the five of the materials that are highly amenable to recycling. A drop-off recycling site open to the public at least 40 regularly scheduled hours per week. The ( Highly amenable is defined later in this section.) Part-time dropoff: A part-time drop-off is available less than 40 hours per week. However, to be considered for access credit, the site must meet or exceed the following minimums: 1) be open to the public at least once per month at regularly scheduled times, 2) accept at least five of the materials that are highly amenable to recycling. The site may be a permanent installation that is open to the public less than 40 hours per week, or it may be a mobile unit that is available at a specific site on a regularly scheduled basis. Rural drop-off: A site serving a municipality or township with a population less than 5,000. Urban drop-off: A site serving a municipality or township with a population of at least 5,000. Materials that Compliance with the Access Goal requires districts to collect a minimum of five of the materials are highly identified as highly amenable to recovery from solid waste generated by the residential sector. amenable to These materials are identified as corrugated cardboard, newspaper, office paper, glass recycling: containers, steel containers, aluminum containers, plastic containers, wood packaging and pallets, major appliances, lead acid batteries, yard wastes and food wastes. Paper: Paper can earn recycling revenues when present in sufficient quantity. Types of paper include Corrugated cardboard Office paper Mixed paper Magazines and catalogues Newspaper A paper-based material consisting of a fluted corrugated sheet and one or two flat linerboards. The most frequent use of corrugated cardboard is for packaging. Recycling programs normally exclude waxed cardboard, which is sometimes used for fresh food packaging, and cardboard that is soiled with food or oil. In this Plan corrugated cardboard will usually be referred to as cardboard and will be abbreviated as OCC for old corrugated cardboard. Usually refers to waste paper that is white or cream in color. It usually includes letterhead, copier and printer paper and may contain envelopes. It is abbreviated in this Plan as OffP. Mixed paper is a broad category that normally includes both white and colored paper, envelopes, file stock, and junk mail. Depending on the end market for the material, mixed paper may include or exclude magazines, catalogues and telephone books. It is abbreviated in this Plan as MxP. Some recycling programs include magazines and catalogues in mixed paper collection. Other programs collect these materials separately from other paper or exclude these materials. In this Plan, magazines and catalogues designated separately from other paper categories and are designated by the abbreviation Mag. For residential recycling purposes newspaper usually refers to newsprint publications and the glossy insets that are routinely distributed with daily and weekly newspapers. Magazines and catalogues are usually not considered to be newspaper for recycling purposes. In this plan, the term used is newspaper abbreviated as ONP for old newspaper. III-3

20 2015 Crawford County Solid Waste Plan Update DRAFT 10/2/15 Definitions Pertaining To Recycling And Access To Residential/Commercial Drop-Off Programs Glass: Residential/commercial recycling programs normally recycle only glass bottles and jars. The chemical composition and melt temperature of other types of glass like drinking glasses, Pyrex, light bulbs, and window glass are different than bottle glass so these materials cannot be recycled with bottle glass. Many recycling programs collect green, blue and amber bottles in addition to clear glass. However, if colored glass is mixed with clear glass, the cullet (processed, crushed glass) cannot be used to manufacture clear bottles. Colored glass can be used to manufacture glass products of like color or for alternative applications like aggregate substitutes. In this Plan the following abbreviations are used: ClG for clear bottles, BlG for blue, GrG for green, and BrG for brown or amber. Plastic: There are 7 types of plastics that are identified by a Society of Plastics Industry (SPI) code number ranging from 1 to 7. These numbers are usually found on the bottom of plastic containers inside a three-arrow recycling symbol. A description of each kind of plastic is presented below. PETE (SPI = 1) Polyethylene terephthalate (PETE) is the most readily recyclable material at this time. It includes 1- and 2- liter clear soda bottles, as well as some bottles containing liquor, liquid cleaners, detergents, and antacids. HDPE (SPI = 2) High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE) is currently recyclable in some areas. This class includes milk, juice, and water jugs, base cups for some plastic soda bottles, as well as bottles for laundry detergent, fabric softener, lotion, motor oil, and antifreeze. PVC (SPI = 3) Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC, also referred to simply as vinyl ) includes bottles for cooking oil, salad dressing, floor polish, mouthwash, and liquor, as well as blister packs used for batteries and other hardware and toys. LDPE (SPI = 4) Low-Density Polyethylene (LDPE) includes grocery bags, bread bags, trash bags, and a variety of other film products. LDPE is currently being recycled by some of the major retail chains. Polypropylene Polypropylene includes a wide variety of packaging such as yogurt containers, shampoo bottles, (SPI = 5) and margarine tubs. Also cereal box liners, rope and strapping, combs, and battery cases. Polystyrene Polystyrene includes Styrofoam coffee cups, food trays, and clamshell packaging, as well as (SPI = 6) some yogurt tubs, clear carry-out containers, and plastic cutlery. Foam applications are sometimes called EPA, or Expanded Polystyrene. Some recycling of polystyrene is taking place, but is limited by it low weight-to-volume ration and its value as a commodity. Other (SPI = 7) Can refer to application which use some of the above six resins in combination or to the collection of the individual resins as mixed plastic (e.g., camera film can include several types of plastic resins). Technology exists to make useful items such as plastic lumber our of mixed plastic resins, but generally the materials are more useful and valuable is separated into the generic resin types described above. Metals: Aluminum Includes aluminum beverage and food containers. In this Plan aluminum containers will be called cans aluminum cans abbreviated as AlC. Steel cans Refers to steel food cans, sometimes called tin cans and steel beverage containers. There are very few steel beverage containers used and those that are in use are usually bi-metal cans which are cans with a steel wall and an aluminum top to facilitate easy opening. The abbreviation used in this Plan is SC. The above listed materials are those which are most likely to be included in residential curbside or drop-off recycling programs, and all of these materials are accepted at the Crawford County Recycling Center. A list of recycled materials managed by recycling programs in Crawford County and the abbreviations used in this Plan are included in the Key in Table III-5. F. Existing Composting/Yard Waste Management Facilities This section includes information on yard waste management facilities in operation in Crawford County Solid III-4

21 2015 Crawford County Solid Waste Plan Update DRAFT 10/2/15 Waste Management District. While there were no composting/yard waste management facilities operated by the Crawford County Solid Waste Management District in the reference year, four municipalities provided yard waste management programs. In 2013, Bucyrus City, Crestline City, Galion City, and New Washington Village each operated a Class IV composting facility and collection program for the collection of yard waste from municipal residents. In addition, Oberlanders Tree & Landscaping operated a Class IV composting facility and provided mulch available for retail. A Class IV composting facility can only accept source separated yard wastes, defined as leaves, brush, tree trunks and stumps, grass clippings, garden waste, holiday trees, and prunings from trees or shrubs. Each facility can determine whether they will accept all types of yard waste or only certain forms. Information on the yard waste management facilities in Crawford County for 2013 is presented in Table III-6. Galion City did not report to Ohio EPA any yard waste amount for 2013, but reported 1,467 tons for In addition, based on the City s reported yard waste collection between 2009 and 2012, the average of these four years (1,488 tons) is very close to the 2012 tonnage, indicating some consistency in the collection amounts over these years. For the purpose of tallying the yard waste management in the District for the reference year, the amount of yard waste reported by Galion City for 2012 is used in Table III-6. While the District acknowledges that Galion City did not report tonnage for 2013 or 2014, the District did confirm that the City had collection dates in 2014 and in 2015, and will continue to investigate the reasons for the no reporting. G. Existing Open Dumps and Waste Tire Dumps There were no open dumps or waste tire dump sites within Crawford County during the reference year. This is presented in Table III-8. H. Ash, Foundry Sand, and Slag Disposal Sites There were no foundry sand and slag disposal sites in operation in the County during the reference year as shown in Table III-9. The most recent ash, foundry sand, and slag disposal site was operated by Mansfield Brass Inc. and this site closed in I. Map of Facilities and Sites See Appendix E for a copy of the District's maps identifying each facility and disposal site listed in Section III. J.

31 2015 Crawford County Solid Waste Plan Update DRAFT 10/2/15 Section IV. REFERENCE YEAR POPULATION, WASTE GENERATION, AND WASTE REDUCTION This section of the plan contains all population, waste generation and waste reduction values for the 2013 reference year. All assumptions and sources of information used in developing the analysis are noted in the summaries. A. Reference Year Population and Residential/Commercial Waste Generation The Crawford County Solid Waste Management District is a single-county district. Reference year population for Crawford County was 42,808 people as provided by the Office of Research at the Ohio Development Services Agency, May However, Ohio s solid waste law states that when a municipal corporation is located in more than one solid waste district, the entire corporation is to be included in the jurisdiction of the solid waste district where the majority of the population resides. As a result of this requirement, the District population has been increased by 18 to include the residents of the portion of Crestline Village that is in Richland County. As shown in Table IV-1, the adjusted population for the reference year is 42,826. One way to calculate the amount of waste generated within Crawford County is by using estimated national waste generation figures. The rational for this method is contained in the Ohio EPA District Plan Format which states, Population is generally considered to be a reasonably good predictor of residential/commercial waste generation. The method for estimating per capita waste generation is taken from Ohio EPA publication Estimating Per Capita Residential/Commercial Waste Generation, September 4, In February 2014, the United States Environmental Protection Agency reported that for 2012, the national waste generation rate was 4.38 pounds per person per day. Using this generation rate, the District s residential/commercial waste generation for the reference year was calculated to be 34,233 tons per year, based on the District s population of 42,826. Residential/commercial waste generation for the reference year using the 2012 national generation rate, as well as the reference year population, are presented in Table IV-1. Another way of calculating the waste generation rate is to add up the actual reported waste disposed and the amount of reported waste reduced and recycled. Using this method, the amount of residential/commercial waste generated in the District per person per day is 4.65 pounds (as shown in Table IV-2), which is higher than the national average. For calculations and demonstrations in this Plan, we use 4.65 pounds per person per day as the amount of residential/commercial waste generated by the residents and commercial establishments of Crawford County for the reference year. IV-1

32 2015 Crawford County Solid Waste Plan Update DRAFT 10/2/15 B. Industrial Waste Generation In February, 2014, the Crawford County Solid Waste Management District conducted a solid waste disposal and recycling survey for the reference year (2013). A survey was mailed to all of the manufacturing industries within Crawford County that were listed in the Harris Info-Source Directory with five or more employees. Industries with fewer than five employees that had previously responded to a survey were also included. A copy of the industrial survey is included in Appendix F. The District gathered as much information as possible about the types of wastes generated in order to facilitate planning for capacity needs, and waste reduction potential. The District's survey determined the following: Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) category for each industry. Total number of companies and employees in each SIC category. The waste management method used and amount managed by each method, including onsite and off-site disposal, recycling, and source reduction for each material. Number of industries in the District (SIC categories 20 and 22-39). Number of industries within each SIC category responding to the survey with surveys judged to be reliable. Every effort was made to obtain usable surveys from all industries within each SIC category, especially industries with large employment or who generate large amounts of waste. Cover letters with a survey were mailed to every industry. Phone calls were then made to non-respondents to help them complete their survey. From the survey information gathered, industrial recycling totals were recorded; however the District did not receive any disposal information from the respondents. Without disposal information from the survey efforts, it is not viable to develop Table IV 3. While the format provides for the use of Appendix JJ as an alternative method to calculate disposal and waste generation tonnages, the District believes that such a calculation is not representative for the District. This is mainly due to the fact that the industrial waste generation rates presented in Appendix JJ are outdated. Therefore, it is the District s belief that the calculations would result in unusable information. As an alternative, the total industrial waste generation is calculated by adding industrial waste disposal reported by landfills and transfer facilities (see Tables III-1 and III-3) and amounts recycled and composted as reported by industries on surveys (see Table IV-6). Industrial waste generation in Crawford County based on this method is 38,626 tons in the reference year 2013, as shown on Table IV-3. C. Exempt Waste The amount of exempt waste disposed in publicly available solid waste landfills is shown in Table IV-4. This amount was reported in the 2013 Ohio Solid Waste Facility Data Report. Crawford County has prohibited all exempt waste except for construction and demolition debris at the Crawford County Sanitary Landfill. Therefore, any remaining exempt waste generated in Crawford County is disposed in private landfills out of the District. In 2013, of the total 3,661 tons of exempt waste reported for Crawford County, the majority was construction and demolition debris, and nearly all (96.4% or 3,528 tons) was received at the Crawford County Facility, while the remaining tons were received at landfills outside the County. IV-2

33 2015 Crawford County Solid Waste Plan Update DRAFT 10/2/15 Exempt waste is not directly related to population, industry or other specific sector, and in the past has fluctuated greatly. For example, in 2012, there were only 437 tons of exempt waste generated in the District and the average for the last six years is only 1,733 tons. D. Total Waste Generation Total waste generation for the reference year was 78,656 tons, of which 46% (36,369 tons) is residential and commercial waste, 49% (38,626 tons) is industrial waste and the remaining 5% (3,661 tons) is exempt waste. This data is presented in Table IV-5 and is a summary of Tables IV-2, IV-3(B) and IV , ,000 80,000 60,000 40,000 Total Industrial Res/Com Exempt 20, Figure IV-1. Trends in Waste Generation in Crawford County E. Reference Year Waste Reduction This section provides waste reduction estimates based on existing waste reduction strategies and programs within the District. For the purposes of this Plan, waste reduction includes source reduction, recycling, yard waste composting, documented yard waste land application, MSW composting, resource recovery and incineration. The 2013 reference year recycling data used in this plan was compiled in The recycling data for the Crawford County Solid Waste Management District recycling programs and activities was supplied by the District. The remainder of the data was compiled through surveys sent to private recyclers and waste management companies, industries, and commercial businesses. Methods to avoid double counting: In order to avoid counting recycled materials more than once, the District practiced similar steps as in the previous plan update. Recycling figures for all residential/commercial recycling programs were tabulated separately. In addition, the commercial and industrial surveys requested information on where the materials reported as recycled were marketed. The residential/commercial materials were counted when possible only at the first collection or processing contact. Only recycling and waste reduction reported by manufacturers was included in the industrial survey results. We did not use reported industrial material recycling from waste haulers or scrap yards.

34 2015 Crawford County Solid Waste Plan Update DRAFT 10/2/15 1. Residential/Commercial Waste Reduction In 2013, a total of 12,849 tons of residential/commercial District waste was reduced through various programs, and the type of waste reduced is summarized on Table IV-6. While there has been some fluctuation in the year to year tonnage, overall, the amount of residential/commercial waste reduced has increased by 12% since 2006 despite the District s population decline of 4.9% during that same period. 16,000 14,000 12,000 10,000 8,000 6,000 4,000 2,000 0 Figure IV-2.

35 2015 Crawford County Solid Waste Plan Update DRAFT 10/2/15 2. Industrial Waste Reduction As noted earlier, the District has been conducting annual surveys of commercial and industrial businesses since 2000 in order to secure good information. The results of the industrial waste reduction inventory are included in this section of the Plan Update, while the form used for the 2013 survey and the listing of businesses receiving the District survey are included in Appendix F. As summarized on Table IV-7, the District was able to document a total of 36,553 tons being reduced by industries in the County during the reference year (2013); 36,478 tons of which was recycled and 75 tons that was composted yard waste. There are industrial businesses in the District, such as Timken, that have drop-off recycling available to its employees. In 2013, a total of 12,849 tons of residential/commercial District waste was reduced through various programs, and the type of waste reduced. Figure IV-4 below depicts the recyclables by commodity reported as recycled in 2013 in Table IV-7 for the industrial sector. The three largest commodities recycled - ferrous metals (38%), other paper (38%) and cardboard (18%) make up nearly 94% of all commodities recycled by the industrial sector. Figure IV-4.

36 2015 Crawford County Solid Waste Plan Update DRAFT 10/2/15 F. Existing Waste Reduction/Recycling Activities The continued objectives of the Crawford County Solid Waste Management District's solid waste reduction, reuse, and recycling programs are to reduce the size of the waste stream requiring disposal and promote environmentally sound practices regarding the use of our natural resources. The District s programs reinforce the need for reduction, reuse, and recycling of solid wastes by providing the means for individuals, groups, businesses, and organizations to undertake these activities; and creating the systems to implement reduction, reuse, and recycling activities. The District continues its Waste Reduction and Recycling Plan as designed in the original solid waste plan that is based on several important considerations regarding how the waste reduction and recycling goals are to be achieved and implemented. The first consideration was that it is desirable that all generators of solid waste, the residential, commercial (and government), and industrial sectors, contribute to reducing the amount of solid waste generated in Crawford County. Since private sector recyclers and scrap dealers are already playing an important role in commercial and industrial recycling and waste reduction activities, these areas are mainly left to the private sector and market forces, but are also promoted through several District programs involving the District s recycling center, as described below. The role of the District is to not compete with the private sector in these areas, but to educate, provide technical assistance, and coordinate community-based residential, business, and private sector recycling activities to the greatest extent possible. Another important role of the District is to monitor the progress being made in meeting waste reduction and recycling goals in each sector and to provide additional support as may be needed to meet the Plan's goals. Following are summaries of the waste reduction and recycling programs, activities and facilities that made up the Crawford County Solid Waste Management District waste reduction and recycling plan and which were in existence in the reference year. The summaries include a discussion of the strengths and weaknesses of each program as well as all assumptions associated with projections for future quantities to be recycled. 1. Public Awareness, Education and Information Program Entity Responsible for maintaining the Program: District Coordinator Service area which benefits: Crawford County The District is committed to providing a robust public awareness, education and information program, and this program continues to be one of the District s strength. The target audience is the general public and school children as a subset target audience. In 2013, the District distributed approximately 400 promotional items made from recycled content during the year to heighten awareness within the District. The District maintains a detailed listing of its programs and events on its own website The website contains facility information, a listing of the drop-off recycling sites as well as the dates and times, a calendar of programs and events, a detailed listing of the recyclable items accepted at the facility, information on the drop-off school IV-6

37 2015 Crawford County Solid Waste Plan Update DRAFT 10/2/15 sites that earn money for the school and other groups, and general education information on the benefits of recycling and 10 ways to go green. The website is easy to navigate; ensuring that specific information on the District s recycling activities is available to the public and to businesses. Screen shots of the District s website are included in Appendix H. The District also continues to provide educational opportunities and resources for schools and local groups in the District. The District regularly provides presentations to school groups that focus on recycling, litter prevention and solid waste management. Presentations may include videos, puppet shows, and fun hands-on activities such as papermaking, plastic making or arts and crafts projects and demonstrations with worms. The District s Mascot Joe, The Recycle Collector is available to perform during school presentations and school assembly programs. The District also prepares and distributes recycling education materials at these events. This work is done by the District Coordinator and on average 25 groups are contacted annually, including schools, 4-H and scout troops. The District provides several recycling programs and events throughout the year to raise awareness of the benefits of recycling. The District participates in annual events such as Earth Day Celebration in April held at the Crawford County Fairgrounds, the Bratwurst Festival parade in August and the Crawford County Fair in July. At these events, the District hosts a booth where information about how to recycle, contact information on local recycling companies that provide recycling services, dates and times of the special collection events hosted by the District, and hours of operation and materials accepted at the District s Recycling Center are distributed. The District sponsors an art poster contest in conjunction with Earth Day in April to encourage schools and students to become directly involved in recycling, composting, and buying recycled. The District also promotes Ohio s statewide Sandusky River Clean Sweep poster contest. The District conducts a Clean-Up Crawford County event in early spring, and has designated October as recycling month. The District also conducts tours of the landfill and the recycling center to all school grade levels, youth groups, scouts, 4H, church and adult civic groups. Visitors are shown how recyclables are collected, sorted and prepared for shipment. The District also provides educational material in conjunction with its other programs, and distributes brochures to each group involved with the collection sites. A copy of the District s brochure is included in Appendix H. Strengths/Weaknesses of Program Strengths: The program serves as a mechanism for the public to interact directly with District staff to answer questions and to increase public awareness. Staffing a booth at local events serves to reinforce that recycling is a part of everyday life. Education has proven to be an effective tool at encouraging participation in the District s recycling programs at the Recycling Center and individual drop-off sites. Despite a decline in population in the District, the District has witnessed a steady increase in the amount of residential/commercial recycling since 2010, as shown in Figure IV-2. Weaknesses: The educational programming is provided by the District Coordinator rather a full-time staff person whose time is fully devoted to the Public Awareness, Education and Information program. The District does not have the financial resources available to fund a full-time position. IV-7

38 2015 Crawford County Solid Waste Plan Update DRAFT 10/2/15 2. Curbside Recycling Technical Assistance As noted earlier, there has been no curbside recycling in the District since 2005 when the City of Bucyrus discontinued its curbside recycling program due to financial constraints. However, despite not having curbside recycling, the District has continued to achieve a high level of recycling. Yet, because curbside recycling has proven to be the most effective method of reducing residential waste disposal both in Ohio and nationwide, the District continues to explore options. In the currently approved Plan, the District committed to completing an evaluation of curbside recycling opportunities, funded through $183,000 in grants over a period of five years. However, the District did not complete the evaluation due to additional District operating costs. Nevertheless, since the last Plan Update, the District has discussed curbside recycling informally with municipal governments and has offered to provide information and technical assistance to any municipality or local hauler that expresses interest. In an effort to promote curbside recycling, the District will continue to offer technical assistance to communities interested in beginning curbside programs which will be further discussed in Section V. In addition, the District is investigating the potential to partner with the private sector in a way that would utilize the District s recycling center (or other location(s)) as the processing location for a curbside program, based on models that have worked in other districts. Strengths/Weaknesses of Program Strengths: The District is eager to assist local communities that are interested in beginning a curbside recycling program. Weaknesses: The District does not have the resources to provide a curbside recycling program throughout the mostly rural county, and must continue to explore the potential for working with a private sector hauler. 3. Crawford County Recycling Center and Walk-In Recycling Entity Responsible for maintaining the Program: District Coordinator Service area which benefits: Crawford County The core of the District s programs is the operation of the county-owned Recycling Center, which has been in operation since The purpose of the facility is to collect, separate and/or process recyclables, and to arrange for the sale or transfer of recyclables from Crawford County to materials markets. The Recycling Center encompasses 7,500 square feet and consists of an office trailer and a handling and storage building, which is equipped to handle and process recyclables. Over the years, the District has invested in important equipment and supplies needed to collect and process recyclables from various collection points in the County and to transport the recyclables to the center, including: 2 full size balers (one for OCC and one for all plastics #1-#7, plastic film & shredded paper), 1 glass crusher that sorts glass by color, 1 aluminum can densifier, 1 CFL fluorescent lamp crusher, 11 Dempster Alley-Cat recycling trailers, 2 SimpleSort'r recycling trailers, IV-8

39 2015 Crawford County Solid Waste Plan Update DRAFT 10/2/15 2 cargo trailers for electronics and televisions, 3 pickup trucks, 2 compactor garbage trucks, and 4 cargo box trucks. The District employs eight full-time employees and one full-time administrative assistant. These District/Crawford County personnel, under the supervision of the District Coordinator, manage the recycling operations at the center and the various recyclable collection activities that operate throughout the District. The volume of material processed at the Recycling Center in 2013 was 1,379 tons. Materials accepted include plastics (#1 through #7), glass (clear, green and brown), steel, aluminum, plastic film, magazines, newspaper, office paper, shredded paper and cardboard. The District continues to replace/upgrade the equipment in the recycling center as needed. The recycling center is open to the public and to Crawford County businesses as a location for the drop-off of recyclables. This activity is referred to as walk-in recycling at the center. The recycling center hours of operation are 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., Monday through Friday. In 2013, the Recycling Center received 263 tons from walk-in drop offs, which is less than in 2006 mostly due to an increase in the amount received at the trailer drop-off sites located throughout the County. Despite the decline in amount of material dropped off at the Center since 2006, the District intends to continue to aggressively market the services of the Recycling Center. However, based on continued, though slower, population decline, the District projects that for planning purposes, the tonnage collected at the Recycling Center will remain the same. Strengths/Weaknesses of Program Strengths: Having a year-round permanent collection site is beneficial to local residents. Operating a processing facility provides control of materials getting to market, provides material recovery data for the County, guarantees a market share of the recyclables collected, and adds the benefit of security and performance that collection and processing will continue even when market conditions are unfavorable. Weaknesses: The District must endure the volatile market swings of the commodity markets for recyclable materials. Volatile markets make budgeting and forecasting more challenging. The District must also be able to maintain the specialized equipment and professional staffing needed to provide this service with a high degree of responsibility and market risk. Operating the Recycling Center is labor intensive, and perhaps could be run more efficiently by a private entity, especially if such entity also conducted the collection of recyclables. 4. Appliances/Used Batteries/Waste Oil/Wood Pallets/Electronics Drop-Off Entity Responsible for maintaining the Program: District Coordinator Service area which benefits: Crawford County District residents are well served by the District s recycling center s special collection programs that IV-9

40 2015 Crawford County Solid Waste Plan Update DRAFT 10/2/15 accept appliances (such as refrigerators and stoves), used batteries, used cooking oil, waste oil and wood pallets, as well as computers and other types of electronics from the public and county businesses on a twelve-month basis. While the majority of pallets are reused in the commercial sector as identified in the results of the commercial survey, the recycling center regularly collects pallets from commercial businesses throughout the District. These pallets are recycled along with the other recyclables processed at the recycling center. Additionally, some commercial businesses deliver pallets to the District's recycling center. While most materials accepted at the Recycling Center are collected free of charge, the District charges fees for select items, including: appliances with Freon ($15 each), computer monitors ($3 each) and televisions ($5 to $20 based on the size and type of the TV). Strengths/Weaknesses of Program Strengths: The residents of the County have a daily option of recycling difficult to manage items through the special collection programs at the District s Recycling Center. Having a year-round permanent collection site is beneficial to local residents. This provides a safe and environmentally correct method of collecting and recycling these items, and diverts hazardous materials from the county landfill. The program allows both the public and commercial entities an option for free or low cost disposal of these items. Weaknesses: The District charges a fee to accept some of these difficult to manage items, which may be a deterrent to some residents. 5. Scrap Tire Drop-Off and Collection Program Entity Responsible for maintaining the Program: District Coordinator Service area which benefits: Crawford County The District s recycling center accepts scrap tires year-round from the public and county businesses. The District accepts tires from all types of vehicles from passenger cars and pickup trucks to tractors and semi-trucks. The District charges a per tire fee ranging from $3 for small tires from passenger vehicles to $25 for larger tractor tires. To provide additional assistance in the proper disposal of tires, the District sponsors a one-month long free scrap tire collection event at the Recycling Center, every other year, in odd years (i.e. 2013, 2015, etc). This service continues to be well utilized as evidenced by increased participation. The scrap tire collection has increased dramatically since 2006, and in 2013 accounted for 93% of the Recycling Center s special collection tonnage. However, because this Plan uses a modest 0.4% annual increase in tonnage for the planning period. Strengths/Weaknesses of Program Strengths: The residents and businesses of the County have a daily option of recycling tires at the District s Recycling Center. Having a year-round permanent collection site is beneficial to local residents. The program allows both the public and commercial entities an option for low cost disposal of scrap tires, as well as a free event once every other year. IV-10

41 2015 Crawford County Solid Waste Plan Update DRAFT 10/2/15 Weaknesses: Though small, the District charges a fee to accept tires and rims. This may be a deterrent to some residents. Also, there are a number of private facilities that accept scrap tires, reducing the demand for the service provided by the District. 6. Household Hazardous Waste Drop-Off Entity Responsible for maintaining the Program: District Coordinator Service area which benefits: Crawford County The District s Solid Waste Management Plan must include a strategy for managing household hazardous waste (HHW). According to the Ohio EPA, household hazardous waste is defined as being made up of the following five categories of commonly-found hazardous products in the home: pesticides and herbicides; automobile products; household cleaners; paint products; and miscellaneous materials such as mercury items, glue, flares, etc. These materials are identified as HHW because they have one or more of the following properties: they are corrosive, toxic, reactive, or flammable. A specific objective of the District HHW Plan is to educate residents on proper disposal of HHW. The ultimate objective is to keep HHW out of the solid waste disposal stream where it can cause environmental degradation if disposed in landfills. In response to this need, the Crawford County Solid Waste Management District operates a yearround HHW collection program at the Crawford County recycling center and also sponsors a HHW collection at the Fairgrounds. In the past, the HHW collection at the Fairgrounds was conducted every other year in even years (i.e and 2014). However, because of the expense of providing this service, the District will need to reduce the frequency of the Fairgrounds collection event to once every five years, with the next collection planned for The HHW materials collected by the District are listed in the table below; most are collected at no charge (NC). Category Automotive Products Paint and Related Products Pesticides Miscellaneous Fluorescent Lamps Categories of Potentially Hazardous Products: Antifreeze, car batteries, and waste motor oil Description (fee) Latex, oil-based paints, stains, shellacs, paint thinner, turpentine, varnishes, mineral spirits, adhesives, kerosene, lighter fluid, aerosol paint cans, latex paint hardener ($1) Herbicides, insecticides, pesticides, rodenticides, fertilizers. Household batteries, roof paint, roof tar, driveway sealer, putty, adhesives Fluorescent lamp tubes and CFL (Compact Fluorescent Lamps) from Crawford County residential homes. Lamps from businesses are not accepted In the reference year, 2013, the Crawford County Recycling Center accepted and then properly disposed/recycled 4.5 tons of HHW, which is about the same amount as in The District contracts with a private HHW hauler/disposal/recycling company to take the HHW materials collected at the center. Based on prior District experience, no significant increase is expected in the volume of HHW collected during the planning period. Education efforts will focus on the use of IV-11

42 2015 Crawford County Solid Waste Plan Update DRAFT 10/2/15 retail lube/oil centers for disposal, education of alternate disposal of latex paint and continued education regarding donations of paint to community projects. Strengths/Weaknesses of Program Strengths: The residents of the County have a daily option of recycling household hazardous waste the HHW collection program at the District s Recycling Center. Having a year-round permanent collection site is beneficial to local residents. Weaknesses: Reducing the frequency of the Fairgrounds collection event to once every five years due to the expense of providing the service eliminates one avenue that some residents may have relied upon. 7. Drop-Off Sites in Communities Open to the Public and Operated in Connection with the Recycling Center (22 sites in 2013) Entity Responsible for maintaining the Program: District Coordinator Service area which benefits: Crawford County The District s main program for the collection of 2013 Full-Service Drop-Off Sites recyclables from communities in Crawford County Location Community are the 22 drop-off sites located throughout Bucyrus City Hall Bucyrus Bucyrus Kroger Bucyrus Crawford County that are open to the public and Camp Michael Bucyrus operated by the District in connection with the East Park Galion recycling center (see the District Facilities Map in Geyer's Fresh Foods Crestline Appendix E for the locations of the drop-off sites). Tod Twp. Building Oceloa The District works with community groups to ensure 2013 Part-Time Drop-Off Sites that locations are well-distributed throughout the Location Community County, and provides an economic incentive to Bucyrus Precision Tech Bucyrus increase interest and commitment to this program. Chatfield Twp. Firehouse Chatfield This program is a particular strength of the District. Col. Crawford High School North Robinson Dallas Township Firehouse Monnett Friends of the Park District Crestline In the reference year (2013), the District provided six Galion Elem/Middle Schools Galion (6) full-service drop-off recycling locations and Galion Lifetouch Lot Galion sixteen (16) part-time drop-off locations. Over the Lykens Twp. Firehouse Bucyrus years, the number of full-time and part-time sites New Washington New Washington has fluctuated somewhat because of the volunteer Seventh Day Adventist Bucyrus nature of site operations. For example, there were Sulphur Springs Sulphur Springs eight (8) full-service and fifteen (15) part-time sites Timken Co. Bucyrus Tiro Tiro UMC Tiro in the 2010 Plan Update, while in 2014 there were Wayside Christian School Bucyrus seven (7) full-service and sixteen (16) part-time sites. Woodlawn UMC Bucyrus In addition, some of the specific locations have Wynford High School Bucyrus changed yet the areas of the county served by the drop-off dumpsters have remained constant. For example, in some cases, a specific site has shifted from a local school to a near-by municipal park, while changes in the number of sites have been IV-12

43 2015 Crawford County Solid Waste Plan Update DRAFT 10/2/15 located in the larger cities such as Bucyrus and Galion where multiple drop-off sites exist. The dropoff sites in operation as part of this program during the reference year are listed below, while additional details about the locations and collection schedules of the facilities are included in Section III, Table III-5. These drop-off sites accept all common recyclables from the public, including newspaper and cardboard, glass, plastic, aluminum cans, steel cans, office paper, magazines, and phone books. The drop-off locations consist of collection bins that are managed by volunteers of the sponsoring groups. Once a month (or on another schedule as the need dictates), the District recycling center transports a trailer to each of the drop-off sites. The trailer is left at the site where the volunteers transfer the recyclables from the collection bins to the trailer. The filled trailer is then transported back to the recycling center where the recyclables are unloaded and separated and/or processed as necessary. The drop-off sites are very popular with residents, who frequently contact the District Coordinator for additional containers. The District is continually working to expand this program and make it as efficient as possible. Part of the revenue the District obtains from the sale of recyclables is returned to the sponsoring groups and there is thus an additional incentive for other groups to join the program. The District continuously adjusts the location and frequency of collection and the volunteers to man the sites. This is a significant effort on the part of the District Coordinator. The benefits of this outreach and involvement of these volunteers is outstanding recycling education throughout the District. While programs do change based on the interest/availability of volunteers, the District has generally been successful in adding new sites for any site terminating the collection Figure IV-5. Collection Trends at Drop-Off Collection Sites 279 tons 352 tons 194 tons 465 tons Full time Part time Overall, total collections at the drop-off locations (full-time and part-time combined) increased 3.2% from 631 tons in 2006 to 651 tons in However, Figure IV-5 highlights a pattern of shifting collection amounts with increases at the full-time collection sites making up for decreases at the part-time collection sites. Figures IV-6 and IV-7 highlight collection trends at most of the part-time sites that were in operation from 2010 through For planning purposes, a modest increase of 0.4% per year is anticipated. IV-13

Collection Trends - Part-Time Collection Sites Collecting more than 10 tons Galion City School Site Galion Lifetouch Site New Washington Site Woodlawn UMC Site Wynford High School Site Figure IV-7. Collection Trends - Part-Time Sites Collecting Less Than 10 Tons Bucyrus Precision Tech Site Chatfield Site Lykens Site Monnett Site North Robinson Site Sulphur Springs Site Tiro Site Wayside Christian School Strengths/Weaknesses of Program Strengths: The drop-off recycling program is the best alternative to curbside recycling. The drop-off locations are well distributed throughout the County to provide convenient access for residents. The District Coordinator is highly successful in coordinating the many sites, and the various organizations who volunteer at each of the part-time sites, especially in adjusting schedules to accommodate the needs of the volunteers. The District s outreach to and involvement of the volunteers provides outstanding recycling education throughout the District. Weaknesses: It is possible that the amount of material collected is lower than if there were curbside recycling programs in the County due to the perceived inconvenience of driving to the site. Also, because of the nature of volunteerism, it is more labor intensive to manage the part-time sites. IV-14

45 2015 Crawford County Solid Waste Plan Update DRAFT 10/2/15 8. OCC and Paper Collection from Business Locations, where the Recycling Center picks up recyclables (215 sites) Entity Responsible for maintaining the Program: District Coordinator Service area which benefits: Crawford County Another program that is very popular and well managed by the District is the corrugated cardboard (abbreviated as OCC for old corrugated cardboard) and paper recycling collection pick up offered to all Crawford County businesses. The number of participating businesses has increased substantially, from 28 sites in 2010 to 215 sites in The District is continually seeking businesses and other locations that generate quantities of paper that can be recycled. The District keeps a list of these businesses and other locations and has established a weekly schedule for the pickup of these recyclables. Over the years, this activity has become focused on recyclables like corrugated paper and office paper which are more valuable. The District has 113 cardboard dumpsters available for businesses. Because of the need to periodically replace the containers, the District adopted a $20 per month per container fee in 2015, while continuing to provide the collection service free of charge. The dumpsters are available in a number of sizes to meet the needs of individual businesses, with sizes ranging from 1, 2, 3, 4, 6 and 8 cubic yards. The District also has two sizes of roll carts (35 gallon and 95 gallon) available for businesses to use for paper, plastic, magazines, newsprint at no cost with free collection service. In 2013, the District collected 6,130 tons of paper from this program. The District projects a 0.4% annual increase in the tonnage from these facilities and will continue to promote this service in the education program. Strengths/Weaknesses of Program Strengths: The District provides service to all areas of the County, and this service has been popular with local businesses. Weaknesses: The need to charge a fee (starting in 2015) may cause some smaller businesses to stop the service. 9. Private Sector Buy-Back Centers Entity Responsible for maintaining the Program: Private Sector Businesses Service area which benefits: Crawford County There are a number of private sector materials recovery businesses serving Crawford County. These businesses handle a wide range of materials including scrap iron, other ferrous and non-ferrous metals, various grades of paper, lead acid batteries, corrugated paper, glass, and plastic. These companies act as buy back centers by paying for materials of value (such as aluminum) brought to them by the public. IV-15

46 2015 Crawford County Solid Waste Plan Update DRAFT 10/2/15 In the reference year, three (3) businesses accepted materials for buy back at four (4) locations in Crawford County. They include: a. Innovative Recycling (2 locations, one in Crestline and another in Galion) lead acid batteries and wood. b. Milliron Recycling ferrous and non-ferrous metals, aluminum and appliances. c. Advanced Fiber Technology old corrugated cardboard and old newspapers. The list of buy back centers in the District is provided in Table III-5. The District encourages recycling and reuse and specifically promotes these activities in Crawford County. Marketing strategies of these private sector buy-back centers may affect volumes received at the Crawford County facility. However, the District encourages recycling at all facilities to the benefit of all Crawford County residents. A way to improve the use of all facilities is to add this listing of buy back centers to the District s web site which the District will do in the first year of the planning period and update this list during the planning period. Prior year tonnage collection is included in Appendix H for reference. Modest increases of 0.4% for each facility are projected in the planning period. Strengths/Weaknesses of Program Strengths: These private facilities provide a useful service to local businesses at no cost to the District. Weaknesses: Local businesses use of these private facilities can reduce the amount of recyclable material received at the County recycling facility. 10. Commercial-Retail and Industrial Business Recycling by Private Haulers Entity Responsible for maintaining the Program: District Coordinator Service area which benefits: Crawford County Because of the importance of recycling activities undertaken by commercial and industrial businesses in Crawford County, the District conducts an annual inventory to determine the extent of waste reduction by the commercial and industrial sectors in the County. As a result of this detailed survey for 2013, a total of 10,217 tons were documented as being recycled by commercial establishments in A portion of this total includes amounts already counted in some of the categories above, such as the District s weekly collection of OCC and paper. A sample survey form and the results from the survey are included in Appendix F. The District s ongoing challenge is to secure usable information from the returned surveys. The District will continue to offer assistance to the commercial and industrial sectors by promoting the availability of the District's recycling center through public education. Events such as the District's Earth Day celebration, Clean Up Crawford County, and the Bratwurst Festival continue to nurture future growth. therefore, commercial tonnage not already accounted for in the District s recycling programs is projected at 0.4% per year during the planning period The District also offers the opportunity to customize a service, such as individual collection of materials by the District.

47 2015 Crawford County Solid Waste Plan Update DRAFT 10/2/15 Strengths/Weaknesses of Program Strengths: The District s educational and promotional materials that are distributed as part of the annual survey help companies that want to go green. Weaknesses: The District s ongoing challenge is to secure usable information from the returned surveys. 11. Yard Waste Reduction Entity Responsible for maintaining the Program: Local Municipalities and Private Sector Entities Service area which benefits: Primarily Bucyrus City, Crestline City, Galion City, and New Washington Village The yard waste composting facilities that accept yard waste from the district are listed in Table III-6. As noted in Section III, four municipalities provide yard waste management programs: Bucyrus City, Crestline City, Galion City, and New Washington Village. In addition, Oberlanders Tree & Landscaping operates a composting facility and provides mulch available for retail. All of these programs include a Class IV composting facility which can only accept source separated yard wastes, defined as leaves, brush, tree trunks and stumps, grass clippings, garden waste, holiday trees, and prunings from trees or shrubs. Over 65% of the population in the District resides in one of these four communities, which are also the four most populous communities in the District; while 1% live in one of the three smaller villages (with fewer than 300 people) and 34% live in a rural township. For yard waste management, Revision 3.0 allows the District to estimate the amount of waste reduction total for the reference year only in limited circumstances as noted: If entities used by the District responded to an earlier survey but not the survey conducted for the reference year, data from the earlier survey may be utilized in Table IV-6. As previously noted, the city of Galion did not report any yard waste amount for 2013, however, for 2012, the City reported 1,467 tons, and since 2009, the City s yearly average is 1,488 tons. For the purposes of estimating yard compost for 2013, Galion s average 1,467 of 1,488 tons reported in 2012 over the last four years haves been included in the total amount of yard waste noted in Table IV-6. Yard waste composting has a direct correlation to the number of households in the District, more so than to the population. Since 2006, the number of households in the district has declined by 1,129 (6.1%). Historical data indicate that there have been swings in the amount of yard waste collected, but overall, has trended downward since For planning purposes, no increase in yard waste tonnage is projected in the planning period. Strengths/Weaknesses of Program Strengths: The programs in these four communities and at Oberlanders Tree & Landscaping facility have been in place for many years, have good participation by local residents, and provide access to over 65% of the residents in the district. Residents in the rural areas handle materials independently IV-17

48 2015 Crawford County Solid Waste Plan Update DRAFT 10/2/15 by back yard composting or mulching clippings. Composting facilities are operated by both public and private entities and do not rely on District funding. Weaknesses: Not all communities offer a yard waste program, and the District has no control over the activities of the local governments and private entities Figure IV-8. Crawford County SWMD Residential Yard Waste, in tons, Health District Program Entity Responsible for maintaining the Program: District Coordinator Service area which benefits: Crawford County The District contracts with the Crawford County General Health District for conducting quarterly inspections of the Crawford County Sanitary Landfill (the only licensed solid waste landfill in Crawford County), annual inspections of Class IV composting facilities, and for other duties associated with the Ohio EPA code enforcement program. The District also partners with the Crawford County General Health District to publish information about the proper disposal of expired/outdated medicines on the solid waste section of their environmental programs. This support represented approximately 1% of the District s overall expenditures in Strengths/Weaknesses of Program Strengths: This program helps protect public health and the environment to ensure solid waste and composting facilities are in compliance with Ohio EPA rules governing operation. Weaknesses: The expense of the program diverts funds from other programs that may have the ability to increase District revenues or cover capital expenses. 13. Emergency Disaster Debris Management Entity Responsible for maintaining the Program: District Coordinator Service area which benefits: Crawford County Responding to natural disasters, such as flood events, tornados and severe storms, requires a great deal of coordination and time. The District is committed to assisting the Emergency Management IV-18

49 2015 Crawford County Solid Waste Plan Update DRAFT 10/2/15 Agency during a disaster event. The District Coordinator will serve as the debris manager during a debris-generating event. There were no disaster events in G. Implementation of the District s Waste Reduction and Recycling Plan The District finances and implements the public awareness, education and information program, the program to increase use of private buy back centers, all residential, commercial and industrial waste reduction and recycling programs. The drop-off recycling centers are designed, implemented, and financed by the District. As demonstrated in Section VIII, the District s finances are sufficient throughout the planning program to support the implementation of the programs. H. Total Waste Generation: Historical Trends of Disposal Plus Waste Reduction Tonnage for total waste generated for the years 2006 through the reference year 2013 are presented in Table IV-8. As noted in Table IV-8 and displayed in Figure IV-9, waste generation has generally been declining since 2006, and by 2013 had dropped more than 16% from 93,830 tons to 78,656 tons, which is an average of -2.3% per year. Figure IV-10 displays the trends for the four primary waste management methods: source reduction and recycling; yard composting; incineration; and landfill disposal. 120,000 Figure IV-9. Historical Trends in Total Waste 100,000 80,000 60,000 40,000 20, R-2013 It is possible that the amount of waste generation could vary somewhat from the amounts reported in Table IV-8(A) due to the difficulty in accurately calculating the amount of yard waste composted. Table IV-8(B) highlights yard waste data for Crawford County obtained from two separate sources provided by the Ohio EPA: the Compost Facility Planning Report and the Annual District Review form. For the years 2008 through 2012, the yard waste composting tonnage differs by as much as 3,000 tons between the amount reported on the Compost Facility Planning Report and the amount reported on the ADR. For planning purposes, this Plan uses the numbers reported in the Compost Facility Planning Report. IV-19

Reconciliation of Waste Generation As described previously, the industrial survey results provided no disposal information for the District s use. The District has no confidence in the applicability of the approach in Appendix JJ to supply this information due to the small industrial base in the County and the outdated nature of rates in Appendix JJ. As a result the District will rely on waste generation figures derived from actual recorded figures of landfill disposal and verified recycling tonnage, which total 78,656 as presented in Table IV-8. Since this is the most applicable approach to determine waste generation, in the District s opinion, there is no discussion of reconciliation. The breakdown of this total waste generated is identified in Table IV-9(A) which illustrates that 36,369 tons of residential/commercial waste, or 4.65 pounds per person per day was generated in 2013; 38,626 tons of industrial waste, or 4.94 pounds per person per day; and 3,661 tons of exempt waste or 0.47 pounds per person per day. As noted in Table IV-9(B), the District achieved an overall waste reduction rate of 63% which includes the exempt tonnage accepted at landfills. J. Reference Year Waste Composition Determining the content of the waste stream is important for estimating the quantity of materials that are available for recovery or recycling and for designing programs to assist in the recovery or recycling of those materials. 1. Residential/Commercial Sectors Waste composition for the residential/commercial sector was estimated by using national averages as provided by the US EPA s Municipal Solid Waste Generation, Recycling, and Disposal in the United States: Tables and Figures for 2012, published in February The District has chosen this method of estimating the composition of residential/commercial solid waste composition as an alternative to a waste sort. Waste sorts are time consuming and expensive. Although a waste sort might provide IV-20

51 2015 Crawford County Solid Waste Plan Update DRAFT 10/2/15 more precise numbers for the District, it is unlikely that the results would be significantly different as to influence the waste reduction and recycling strategies contained in this plan. Residential/commercial waste composition in Crawford County was estimated by multiplying the US EPA percentages of total waste generation for various materials in the waste stream to the County s 36,369 tons for reference year Estimated waste stream composition for the reference year is shown in Table IV-10. The categories of materials used in US EPA s report were combined to arrive at major classifications of materials which are likely to be targeted for reduction and recycling. A column has been added to show the percentage of the waste stream for each of the materials listed. All amounts are rounded to the nearest whole number. This method is intended to give a general idea of the types and amounts of material in the waste stream, particularly materials targeted for recycling. 2. Industrial Sector Waste composition for the industrial sector is shown in Table IV-11. Based on industry recycling reports and landfill disposal reports, approximately 95% of industrial waste is recycled and only 5% is disposed of in landfills. Because of this, the documented total of recycled materials from industries in Crawford County provides a good estimate of the composition of industrial waste generated. The composition of recycled materials is shown in Table IV-11, and the remaining industrial waste, which is disposed at landfills, is noted as unclassified. IV-21

61 2015 Crawford County Solid Waste Plan Update DRAFT 10/2/15 Section V. PLANNING PERIOD PROJECTIONS AND STRATEGIES This section of the plan contains the projections for each year of the planning period for population and waste generation. This section also provides detailed waste reduction strategies that will be implemented during the planning period. Projections for each waste stream are also presented in this section. A. Planning Period Section III designated 2013 as the reference year for the Crawford County Solid Waste Management District's Plan Update. The fifteen year planning period for this Plan Update is January, 2016 to December, B. Population Projections The yearly population projections for the Crawford County Solid Waste Management District are based on projections prepared by the Ohio Development Services Agency in 2013 and are presented in Table V-1. The District interpolated the years between the specific estimates provided for years 2013, 2015, 2020, 2025 and 2030, assuming an equal distribution of population change in the intervening years. Table V-1 indicates the addition of population for the portion of Crestline Village that is located in neighboring Richland County. Figure V-1. Crawford County Population Trends, ODS The District s population is projected to decline at an average rate of 0.64% over the next two decades, from 42,826 to 38,166 by The projections assume the same rate of decline for the small portion of Crestline Village located in Richland County. C. Waste Generation Projections 1. Residential/Commercial Waste Generation Projections The 2014 US EPA report titled M unicipals olidw aste,generation,disposalandr ecyclingin theu S : FactsandFiguresfor2012 prepared by Franklin and Associates provides national average waste generation estimates per capita. As discussed in Section IV, the waste generation rate (4.65 pounds/person/day) used in this Plan Update is derived from the total amount of residential/commercial waste sent for disposal plus the amount of waste reduced/recycled in Crawford County. V-1

62 2015 Crawford County Solid Waste Plan Update DRAFT 10/2/15 In the past the US EPA published generation projections for future years, but the 2014 report did not include any discussion of generation projections. In order to forecast waste generation for the planning period, an analysis of the historical trends in waste generation was conducted. As shown in Figure V-2, Historical Trends in Residential/Commercial Waste Generation, the District shows a 26% decline in per capita waste generation during the recent recession, from a high of 5.46 pounds per person per day (ppd) in 2007 to 4.03 ppd in This decline is likely due to the documented reduction in consumer consumption. However, within two years, the per capita waste generation had increased to 4.76 ppd. Since 2011, the per capita waste generation in the district has declined slightly. While it is clear that the population in the district is expected to continue to decline, there is not a clear picture of per capita waste generation. For the purposes of this Plan, we have chosen to use the District s 2013 waste generation rate (the last year for which complete waste disposal and recycling data is available) of 4.65 pounds per person per day in the first year of the planning period, Without a source for future waste generation projections, we are using the current rate as a constant through the end of the planning period (2030), as reflected in Table V-2. Holding the per capita waste generation rate constant means that with a declining population, the total residential/commercial waste generated throughout the planning period will also decline. Population 50,000 45,000 40,000 35,000 30,000 25,000 20,000 15,000 10,000 5,000 0 Figure V-2.. Historical Trends in Res/Com Waste Generation Pounds Per Day Population Per Capita Generation V-2

63 2015 Crawford County Solid Waste Plan Update DRAFT 10/2/15 2. Industrial Waste Generation Projections Industrial waste generation used in Table IV-9 for 2013 was 38,626 tons. Industrial waste generation has vacillated somewhat since 2007, and does not appear to be related to the changes in the number of industrial establishments or the number of industrial employees. The following table provides information regarding industrial waste generation from 2006 through Since 2010, industrial waste generation has declined at an average rate of 2% per year. Figure V-3. Year Trends in Industrial Establishments, Employees and Waste Generation No. of Establishments No. of Employees Tons Year over Year % Change Disposal Recycling Total Est Employees Disposal Recycling Total ,178 1,882 37,964 39, ,684 1,509 42,442 43, % -9.5% -19.8% 11.8% 10.3% ,158 1,154 48,960 50, % -11.2% -23.5% 15.4% 14.0% ,354 1,052 44,343 45, % -19.3% -8.8% -9.4% -9.4% ,351 1,529 39,651 41, % -0.1% 45.3% -10.6% -9.3% ,575 1,767 39,387 41, % 6.7% 15.6% -0.7% -0.1% ,736 1,809 36,893 38, % 4.5% 2.4% -6.3% -6.0% ,157 2,078 36,548 38, % -15.5% 14.9% -0.9% -0.2% Figure V % 40.0% 30.0% 20.0% 10.0% 0.0% -10.0% -20.0% -30.0% Year over Year % Change in Industrial Establishments, Employees, Industrial Disposal and Industrial Recycling Establishments Employees Industrial Disposal Industrial Recycling While there has been a significant decline (39%) in the number of manufacturing employees and a smaller decline (8.6%) in the number of manufacturing establishments since 2006, the amount of waste generated has declined just over 3% in that same period. The employment projections provided by the Ohio Development Services Agency forecasts that overall, manufacturing employment in the Toledo region will grow by approximately 5%. However, at a more detailed level, the industries in Crawford County, especially those with the largest number of employees are projected to decline. Therefore, for the purposes of projecting future industrial waste generation, the District assumed there would not be V-3

64 2015 Crawford County Solid Waste Plan Update DRAFT 10/2/15 significant changes in the industrial sector during the planning period, and believes that a flat line of 38,600 tons industrial waste generation per year is appropriate. 3. Total Waste Generation Projections for total waste generation for the planning period are presented in Table V-4. This table includes data from Tables V-2 and V-3. It also includes projections for exempt waste generation. Exempt waste is difficult to project because it is not related to an industry or any other sector directly. The District has chosen to project exempt waste as remaining constant throughout the planning period at 1,733 tons, which is the District s average annual tonnage from 2008 through 2013, as reported in the Ohio Solid Waste Facility Data Reports. D. Projections for Waste Stream Composition No specific trends or events have been identified that would result in a substantial shift in the relative composition of the residential, commercial or industrial waste stream. If a new, large industry were to move into Crawford County, there could be a new material added to the industrial waste stream, but there is no information available that would allow projections to be made at this time. E. Waste Reduction Goals for the Planning Period The Crawford County Solid Waste Management District provides programs, activities, and support to local communities which will enable the District to work toward meeting the goals established in the 2001 State Plan. The goals include the following: Goal #1 Goal #2 Goal #3 Goal #4 Goal #5 Goal #6 Goal #7 Goal #8 Ensure the availability of reduction and recycling opportunities/programs for residential/ commercial waste. Reduce and/or recycle at least 25 percent of the solid waste generated by the residential/commercial sector and at least 66 percent of the solid waste generated by the industrial sector. Provide informational and technical assistance on source reduction. Provide informational and technical assistance on recycling, reuse, and composting opportunities. Develop strategies managing scrap tires, yard waste, lead-acid batteries and household hazardous wastes (HHW). Evaluate the feasibility of incorporating economic incentives into source reduction and recycling programs. Conduct market development activities to promote the use of recycled products and develop local markets for recovered materials (optional). Annually report the status of plan implementation. V-4

65 2015 Crawford County Solid Waste Plan Update DRAFT 10/2/15 Waste Reduction Rates as Calculated for the Reference Year The 2001 and the 2009 State Plans encourage Districts to implement programs that will lead to compliance with Goal #1 and Goal #2, but compliance with only one goal is required. Goals #1 and #2 as stated in the 2001 State Plan are listed on page V-4. Goals #1 and #2 from the 2009 State Plan are as follows: Goal #1 Goal #2 The SWMD shall provide access to recycling and waste minimization opportunities for municipal solid waste to its residents and businesses. The State Plan provides specifics as to how access can be demonstrated. The SWMD shall reduce and/or recycle at least 25 percent of the solid waste generated in the residential/commercial sector and at least 66 percent of the solid waste generated by the industrial sector. The District met the residential/commercial and the industrial requirement of Goal #2 in the reference year, 2013 and anticipates maintaining this goal throughout the planning period. Calculations for waste reduction rates for the reference year are shown below: The residential/commercial waste reduction rate for 2013 is calculated to be 35.6%. Calculation: waste disposal + waste reduction + recycling + composting = waste generation waste recycling + composting X 100 = waste reduction rate waste generation 23,520 tons disposed + 12,992 tons recycled and composted = 36,512 tons 12,992 X 100 = 35.6% waste reduction rate 36,512 The industrial waste reduction rate is 94.6%. Calculation: waste recycling + composting waste generation X 100 = waste reduction rate 2,078 tons disposed + 36,553 tons recycled and composted = 38,631 tons 36,553 38,631 X 100 = 94.6% waste reduction rate The overall recycling rate of residential/commercial and industrial waste generation and recycling combined is 62.9% 49,545 tons r/c/i waste reduction 78,814 tons waste generation X 100 = 62.9% waste reduction rate If exempt waste is included in the total for waste generation, the waste reduction rate is 63%: V-5

66 2015 Crawford County Solid Waste Plan Update DRAFT 10/2/15 The District is choosing to prepare a plan that will comply with both Goal #1 and Goal #2. Details of how this Plan meets the access requirements of Goal #1 are supplied in Chapter VII. An explanation of the requirements that apply to the Crawford County Solid Waste Management District is included here since the recycling programs described here will be used to provide the access required by Goal #1. The 2001 S tates olid W astem anagem entp lanstates: To obtain an Ohio EPA approved plan, a SWMD must demonstrate that at least 90 percent of the residential population in each county comprising the SWMD will have access to waste reduction and recycling programs by the third year following approval of the SWMD's solid waste management plan. These programs can exist or new programs, but all programs used to demonstrate 90 percent access must be in place within three years of obtaining an approved solid waste management plan. All programs and activities being used to demonstrate compliance with the residential sector component of Goal #1 must collect a minimum of five of the materials identified as highly amenable to recovery from solid waste generated by the residential sector. The SWMD must also demonstrate that generators in the commercial/institutional sector have access to recycling or other alternative management methods for at least five of the materials identified as highly amenable to recovery from solid waste generated by the commercial/institutional sector. The twelve highly amenable materials are corrugated cardboard, office paper, newspaper, glass containers, steel containers (food and beverage cans), aluminum containers, plastic containers, wood packaging including pallets, lead acid batteries, major appliances, yard waste, and food waste.

Waste Reduction and Recycling Strategies for the Planning Period This section discusses the waste reduction and recycling strategies that will be used throughout the planning period in order to meet the goals established in the 2001 State Plan. Figure V-5 shows the full slate of programming that the District will implement/maintain throughout the planning period and the projections for waste reduction for each strategy. Table V-5 lists the specific strategies/activities for residential and commercial recycling during the planning period and quantifies the amount of waste expected to be reduced and recycled. Table V-6 displays this information for the industrial sector. Many of the planned strategies and programs address more than one goal. For this reason, the strategies are listed in Figure V-5 under each goal but discussed only once in the summaries. Many of the programs listed in this Chapter are the same as the programs discussed in Chapter IV. The descriptions are repeated to ensure that there is no ambiguity about how these programs will be implemented in the future. V-6

69 2015 Crawford County Solid Waste Plan Update DRAFT 10/2/15 1. Strategies for Residential/Commercial Recycling The increases associated with waste reduction during the planning period will be accomplished through the District continuing to expand the level of its recycling programs at the Crawford County recycling center. P ublicaw areness,educationand Inform ationp rogram The District s public awareness, education and information program continues to be one of the District s strengths and the District remains committed to continuing to provide the range of programs already existing. The District Coordinator maintains these programs and will continue to update and expand (when warranted) the District s website as a convenient method of disseminating information about the District s many programs and events. Craw ford County R ecycling Center(Including BusinessP icku ps) As explained in detail in Chapter IV, the District educates the public on the use of the Recycling Center through its a) web site; b) public outreach activities, such as the County Fair, Bratwurst Festival parade; and c) education in the schools/civic groups. Due to population decline and overall reduction in waste generation, there has been a decline in the amount of recyclable materials received at the Recycling Center. However, the District has been able to maintain a robust recycling program because of the large number of volunteer groups that work at the drop off sites. Interaction with these groups and distribution of literature, technical information and recycling resources allows the District to achieve the State Plan Goals #3 and #4. An example of the documentation of the information collected by the District Coordinator s activities with these groups and the management of the recycling facility is contained in Appendix I. This documentation reflects the District s capability to meet the requirements of State Plan Goal #8. In 2013, the Recycling Center processed 1,362 tons of recyclables, of which 263 tons was from walkin drop offs. The 2013 walk-in drop off amount is less than in 2006 mostly due to an increase in the amount received at the trailer drop-off sites located throughout the County. Despite the decline in amount of material dropped off at the Center since 2006, the District intends to continue to aggressively market the services of the Recycling Center. However, based on continued, though slower, population decline, the District projects that for planning purposes, the tonnage collected at the Recycling Center will remain constant. The Recycling Center also functions as a material recovery facility (MRF). The District is aware that MRF operations and recyclable collection programs continue to evolve and there may be opportunities for efficiencies and/or expanded services that could be of interest and benefit to the District. Over the planning period the District will explore opportunities for efficient practices in the collection, handling and processing of recyclables. As part of this research, the Policy Committee will evaluate the necessity to expand/build a facility to accommodate additional volume should tonnage volumes increase as well as evaluate the range of opportunities (including private operation and collection) for increasing efficiencies, and consider options for implementation. V-9

70 2015 Crawford County Solid Waste Plan Update DRAFT 10/2/15 Drop-offL ocations(fu ltim eand P arttim e) The District Coordinator manages a significant number of drop-off locations, both full time and part time. The District has generally been able to maintain this service with the same number of sites (23) as reported in the last Plan 1. While the groups that work at these drop offs may change from year to year because they are volunteer groups with regular turnover of participants, the District Coordinator interacts regularly and frequently with these groups to ensure that the drop off locations available in the District are maintained throughout the County. In an effort to generate interest to man the recycling drop offs, the District will continue to provide economic incentives (State Goal #6) to the volunteer groups that man the part-time drop off locations based on the tonnage collected. The effectiveness of the incentive program over the years is reflected in the number of groups that participate. For instance, at one drop off location, the New Washington site in New Washington Village, there are five different groups (Buckeye Central Cross Country, North Auburn Hustlers 4-H, Buckeye Stars 4-H, Buckeye Central Softball, and St. Bernards School) that participate on a rotating basis. The availability of this manpower enables the District to have locations throughout the district manned each month on a regular basis. The volunteers receive the revenue from the recyclables collected during the time they man the drop off site. The District believes this level of activity will be maintained throughout the planning period. A listing of the groups involved in each of the part-time drop off locations is located in Appendix G. During the planning period, new community drop-off locations and pick-up sites will be added to these recycling programs as the opportunities arise. Expansion of the service locations will help ensure that the District continues its ability to comply with State Plan Goal #1. Based on historical receipts for the past six (6) years, the District projects an increase of 2% annually for the full-time locations and a modest 1% reduction per year in the volume collected from the part-time locations. R esidentialcurbsider ecycling T echnicalassistance Curbside recycling programs are known to be an effective method of reducing residential waste disposal. The District has continued to discuss curbside recycling informally with municipal governments. In an effort to promote curbside recycling, the District will continue to offer technical assistance to communities interested in beginning curbside programs. The District is available to assist communities, as well as commercial businesses, in preparing bidding packages for solid waste and recycling collection services to maximize the tonnages collected through the residential program. In addition, during this planning period the District will investigate the potential for local communities and/or the District to partner with the private sector in a way that would utilize the District s recycling center (or other location(s)) as the processing location for a curbside program, based on models that have worked in other districts. Research will be focused on identifying and 1 While there were only 22 sites in 2013, the District was able to secure 23 sites for 2014 and V-10

71 2015 Crawford County Solid Waste Plan Update DRAFT 10/2/15 understanding successful public/private partnerships and soliciting input from private sector haulers. Batteries/Appliances/U sed O il/and ElectronicsDrop-offs As listed in Table III-5 and described in Section IV, the District s recycling center accepts appliances (such as refrigerators and stoves), used batteries, waste oil, fluorescent/cfl lamps and wood pallets from the public and county businesses on a twelve-month basis. Throughout the planning period, the District will continue to provide collection of these materials throughout the year at the Recycling Center. Based on historical receipts for the past six (6) years, the District projects an increase of 5% per year in the volume collected for the duration of the planning period. S crapt iredrop-offs/colection As listed in Table III-5 and described in Section IV, the District s recycling center accepts waste tires from automobiles and trucks from the public and county businesses on a twelve-month basis. Throughout the planning period, the District will continue to provide collection of these materials throughout the year at the Recycling Center as well as a special month-long scrap tire collection event with free drop-off that will be held every other year in odd years. There is a significant use of this service by residents and the District s promotion of these services serves as a constant reminder. Based on historical receipts for the past six (6) years, the District projects an increase of 5% per year in the volume collected for the duration of the planning period. Household HazardousW astecolections As listed in Table III-5 and described in Section IV, the District s recycling center accepts paint, used oil, antifreeze, batteries and fluorescent/cfl lamps from the public and county businesses on a twelve-month basis. In addition, the District has historically provided a special HHW collection at the Crawford County Fairgrounds every other year in even years. As such State Plan Goal #5 is being met by these District programs. For the planning period, due to the cost of providing this service, the District will reduce the frequency of the HHW collection at the Fairgrounds to once every five years, while continuing to accept HHW year-round at the Recycling Center. During the planning period, the District enhance its efforts by posting on the website a list of local businesses/facilities that accept HHW for disposal, such as but not limited to retail lube/oil centers for disposal, educating the public about alternate methods of disposal of latex paint and continued education regarding donations of paint to community projects. The District will monitor the adequacy of the revised special collection schedule and inform the Policy Committee if any change is warranted. Based on prior experience plus the reduced frequency of the special collection, a 1.5% annual increase is used throughout the planning period except for every fifth year when the special collection is held (2019, 2024, and 2029), which includes a 2% increase. V-11

72 2015 Crawford County Solid Waste Plan Update DRAFT 10/2/15 O CC and P apercolectionforbusinessl ocations The District will continue to provide weekly collection of recyclable OCC and paper from local businesses and will focus on continuing to grow business accounts. Over the years, the District has had a significant increase in the number of pick-up locations from 28 sites in 2010 to 215 sites in However, while it is anticipated that collection rates will continue to increase in the future, the District is projecting a slower rate of 1% per year. Com m ercial-r etailestablishm entr ecycling by P rivatehaulers Crawford County is served by a number of private waste haulers, several of which provide recycling services for commercial customers (See Table III-10.) The annual survey has documented increases in recycling by local businesses, and the increase is also mirrored in the increased number of businesses that the District provides recyclable collection. The District will continue to depend on the recycling services provided by private waste haulers and scrap recyclers. However, because the bulk of the material is OCC and paper, which are projected separately above; projections for the planning period remain flat. Com m ercialannuals urvey The District will continue to conduct an annual survey of commercial and retail businesses recycling efforts, as it has been instrumental in documenting increases in recycling by local businesses. The increase is also mirrored in the increased number of businesses that the District provides recyclable collection. Buy BackR ecycling Facilities There are three (3) businesses at four (4) locations that buy back recyclables and the District Coordinator frequently interacts with these facilities. These facilities are expected to remain in operation throughout the planning period. Based on market knowledge, the District projects a modest 0.4% increase in the volume at these facilities. Yard W astecom posting The District s composting tonnage has decreased slightly over the past four years; yet the District believes that as the economy improves and household change slows yard waste composting is likely to level off in the near future. For planning purposes, a decrease in yard waste similar to the annual population decline has been projected for the planning period. Incineration There is limited incineration activity in the District and no changes are anticipated during the planning period. Em ergency DisasterDebrisM anagem ent The District remains prepared to assist the County s Emergency Management Agency during a disaster event. As there is no basis for predicting when an emergency disaster may occur, there are no projections for collection of disaster debris during the planning period. V-12

73 2015 Crawford County Solid Waste Plan Update DRAFT 10/2/15 2. Strategies for Industrial Recycling T echnicalassistance Industrial waste reduction and recycling programs are as varied as the products that are produced by local industries. The extent of the waste reduction programs depends upon the type and size of the industry, the waste stream it generates, and the availability of haulers and recyclers to assist the industry in the collection and marketing of materials. The industrial waste reduction rate in the reference year was close to 95%. In general, manufacturing industries are motivated to reduce waste as much as possible for several reasons: to reduce disposal costs which are usually based on the weight or volume of waste disposed, to reduce the amount of raw materials that are wasted in the manufacturing process, to secure income from the recycling of materials for which there is a market, and to reduce potential liabilities related to the disposal of waste. The District will continue to provide the following assistance to industries throughout the planning period: Identify and disseminate information on recycling opportunities and service providers. Provide assistance to local businesses in identifying opportunities for grants or low-interest loans from federal and state sources to fund pollution prevention. Provide education and technical assistance including guidelines and methodology for performing waste audits and communicate the availability of this type of assistance to business and industry. R ecycling throughprivatehaulers,and privatescraprecyclers Crawford County is served by a number of waste haulers and private scrap recycling industries that are located both in and out of the District. Several waste haulers provide recycling services for commercial and industrial customers (See Table III-10.) Most scrap recyclers specialize in certain types of materials metals, paper, or plastic. Some serve primarily residential and small commercial customers and others specialize in industrial materials. The District will continue to depend on the recycling services provided by private waste haulers and scrap recyclers. However, the services of any particular hauler or scrap recycler are not required. The District will continue to survey private waste haulers and local scrap yards. However, since reporting is not mandatory the response rate may continue to be low. Scrap yards often do not differentiate between materials that come from residential, commercial, or industrial sources, so it is difficult to assign the reported recycling to the appropriate category. Because of the already high rate of recycling (95%) by local manufacturing establishments, the District is projecting no increase in the amount of industrial recycling during the planning period.

81 2015 Crawford County Solid Waste Plan Update DRAFT 10/2/15 Section VI. METHODS OF MANAGEMENT: FACILITIES & PROGRAMS TO BE USED This section of the Plan Update identifies the total amount of waste to be managed by each method and the names of all facilities that will be used by the Crawford County Solid Waste Management District. The information in this section utilizes the waste generation and waste reduction estimates presented previously in Section V. In general, the District's management strategies consist of a continuation of existing District and community programs and activities and the utilization of existing public and private sector facilities and services. A. District Methods for Management of Solid Waste Table VI-1 presents the District's waste management methods to be used and the processing capacity needed for each year of the planning period. As indicated in the table, the net tons to be managed by the District decrease from 78,656 tons in 2013 to 72,745 tons in the year The amount of material projected to be landfilled decreases from 29,259 tons in 2013 to 22,189 tons in The amount of material to be landfilled is calculated by subtracting the amount to be managed by other methods from the total waste generated. Table VI-2 presents the management methods to be used and the capacity needed for that portion of the solid waste stream in Crawford County originating in the residential/commercial sectors. Table VI-3 presents the same information for the County's industrial sector. B. Demonstration of Access to Capacity Table VI-4(A) lists the names of the facilities and the amount of waste from the Crawford County District to be accepted each year of the planning period for each management method to be used by the District. The management methods to be used by the District are landfill disposal, recycling and yard waste composting. The following is a narrative description of the manner in which the capacity requirements are to be met for these management methods. Landfilling Table VI-4(B) identifies the landfills that were listed in Section III, Table III-1 as accepting waste from the Crawford County Solid Waste Management District in 2013, including four that are in adjacent counties or located within 60 miles from Crawford County. The location of each landfill is shown on Appendix E. If the population of Crawford County continues to decline over the planning period as anticipated by the Research Office of the Ohio Development Services Agency, the projected waste for disposal will show a slow, continual decrease throughout the planning period. If the area attracts new industry, it is unlikely that the industry will generate a large amount of waste for disposal because most industries are pursuing zero or near zero waste strategies. VI-1

82 2015 Crawford County Solid Waste Plan Update DRAFT 10/2/15 Throughout the planning period, solid waste disposal is expected to be provided by the Crawford County Sanitary Landfill located in the city of Bucyrus. All solid waste generated in the Crawford County Solid Waste Management District must be disposed at the Crawford County Sanitary Landfill as the only designated solid waste disposal facility in the District Plan (See Appendix J). Crawford County owns this landfill and leases the operation of the Crawford County Sanitary Landfill to Santek as the landfill operator. Continued operation and maintenance of the landfill throughout the planning period is central to the District s implementation of the Plan. Between 2008 and 2013, the District on average annually contributed approximately 12% of the waste accepted at the Crawford County Sanitary Landfill. In 2013, of the 198,993 tons accepted, 170,467 tons were from out-of-district, including over 10,684 tons of exempt waste. However, in 2015, the landfill lost two of its major contributing customers, which is expected to result in a 30% reduction (approximately 40,000 tons) in out-of-district tonnage accepted for Information on the remaining capacity and life of the landfills was obtained from the 2013 Ohio EPA Solid Waste Facility Data Report and is presented in Table VI-4(B). As of the 2013 report, there is sufficient disposal capacity at the Crawford County Sanitary Landfill for the management of all solid waste generated within the District through However, with an anticipated 30% reduction in out-of-district waste accepted annually at the landfill beginning in 2015, the years remaining at the landfill are expected to increase. Nevertheless, the Crawford County Solid Waste Management District acknowledges that capacity at the Crawford County Sanitary Landfill is an issue that needs to be closely monitored. In 2014, the Board of Crawford County Commissioners applied to OEPA for a horizontal expansion of capacity for the county landfill. A copy of the application is contained in Appendix M. The planned expansion will increase the landfill s life by approximately 17 years at 1,200 tons per day. This is an estimate and could vary significantly depending on actual tonnage rates. While as of August 2015 the permit has not yet been approved, the District expects that it will be. As such, the capacity demonstrated in the Plan Update relies on the District being able to continue to send waste to the Crawford County Landfill. Should the Crawford County Sanitary Landfill not expand, the Board will explore the need to obtain out-of-district disposal capacity at the Wyandot County Landfill operated by Republic Waste, which is the closest landfill and which, according to the 2013 FDA, has sufficient capacity to accept additional waste. Capacity at the Crawford County Landfill will be monitored by the District during the planning period and will be addressed again with the next Plan update is due to Ohio EPA in Recycling Recycling facilities and activities to meet the capacity needs of the Crawford County Solid Waste Management District over the planning period fall into two categories: 1. Drop-off Sites and Miscellaneous Recycling Activities 2. Recycling by the Commercial and Industrial Sectors. Information on the facilities and businesses that will provide the capacity for meeting the recycling needs of the District for the planning period is presented in Table VI-4(A). VI-2

83 2015 Crawford County Solid Waste Plan Update DRAFT 10/2/15 The District is aware that MRF operations and recyclable collection programs continue to evolve and there may be opportunities for efficiencies and/or expanded services that could be of interest and benefit to the District. Over the planning period the District will explore opportunities for efficient practices in the collection, handling and processing of recyclables. The Policy Committee will evaluate the range of opportunities (including private operation and collection), and consider for implementation. Yard Waste Management Plan In order to assess the facilities and program capacity requirements for yard waste management in the Crawford County Solid Waste Management District, it is necessary to develop estimates of the amounts of each type of yard waste material generated in the District. These estimates have been developed using information provided by the Ohio EPA, Crawford County, data provided by District communities, and other published information on yard waste generation. Facilities and programs to manage each part of the yard waste stream are then identified, taking into account the significant amount of yard waste that is managed on-site by residents. Total yard waste generation in the District is assumed to be approximately those amounts calculated by using the percentage figures for yard waste in the overall MSW stream (as identified in the 2012 Municipal Solid Waste Generation, Recycling, and Disposal in the United States Report, February 2014) and as presented in Table IV-10. Yard waste generation in the District is estimated to be 4,910 tons in 2013, of which approximately 75% is composted through one of the municipal or private services. The facilities, activities, and programs to provide the capacity to manage the components of the yard waste stream are presented in Tables VI-4(A). These facilities, activities and programs have existed for some years and are projected to continue throughout the planning period. Any additional community or private sector facilities, activities, or programs that may be established in the future will supplement these existing methods of meeting yard waste capacity requirements. Emergency Disaster Debris Management Responding to natural disasters, such as flood events, tornados and severe storms, requires a great deal of coordination and time. The District is committed to assisting the Emergency Management Agency during a disaster event. The District Coordinator will serve as the debris manager during a debris-generating event. As debris manager, the District Coordinator will coordinate operations and finance areas of debris management. Coordination duties will include contacts with affected jurisdictions and scheduling and coordination of resources conducting debris operations. Financial support will include: contacts and negotiations with contractors; contract negotiations; support of and coordination with jurisdiction officials for expenses and scheduling; and documentation of all resources, personnel, materials and costs for reimbursement purposes. C. Schedule for Facilities and Programs: New, Expansions, Closures and Continuations Schedules for facilities and programs have been described in Sections IV for existing and Section V for proposed programs. For the most part, programs, activities, and facilities in this Plan are a continuation of VI-3

Table VI-5 lists all of the District's programs with their corresponding In the 2010 Plan Update, the District had 23 drop-off locations throughout Crawford County, but in reference year 2013, there were 22 sites in operation. Because of the volunteer commitments required to maintain the drop-off sites, it is not uncommon for the locations and volunteer groups to change from year to year. However, as previously noted, the continued engagement with community groups throughout the County is one of the District s primary strengths. This is evidenced by the fact that in 2014, the District Coordinator successfully secured an additional full-time drop-off site at the Lowes Volk Nature Center in Leesville/Crestline. D. Identification of Facilities The District, as required, has incorporated information regarding facilities designated for disposal, transfer, resource recovery, or recycling into Table VI-6. E. Authorization Statement to Designate The Board of Directors of the Crawford County Solid Waste Management District is hereby authorized to establish facility designations in accordance with Section of the ORC after this plan has been approved by the Director of the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency. In 1997, the Crawford County Board of Commissioners adopted a resolution that (1) requires the delivery of all solid waste generated in Crawford County to go to a designated facility, and (2) identifies the solid waste facilities that were so designated, which included the Crawford County Sanitary Landfill and any facility located outside of Ohio. As indicated in Table VI-4(A), the Plan forecasts all in-district waste being disposed at the Crawford County Sanitary Landfill F. Waiver Process for Undesignated Facilities If necessary, the Board of Directors of the Crawford County Solid Waste Management District shall develop procedures for issuing a wavier to allow solid waste to flow to undesignated facilities. The procedures shall be developed in accordance with Section (I) (2) of the ORC. Any person may apply for a waiver from the designation requirements established in this Plan Update. The Waiver Process clarifies who may request a waiver and the information to be provided. The application for the waiver must explain the justification for the Board of Directors of the Crawford County Solid Waste Management District to grant the waiver request. Any person or the legislative authority of a municipal corporation or township may request a waiver authorizing the delivery of solid waste generated within the District to an undesignated solid waste facility. The waiver request shall include the following: 1. The name, address, telephone number and address of the person requesting the waiver. 2. The source and name of the generator of the solid waste included in the waiver request. 3. The name, address, telephone number and address of the undesignated solid waste facility where solid waste generated within the District will be delivered if the waiver is approved by the Board. VI-4

85 2015 Crawford County Solid Waste Plan Update DRAFT 10/2/15 4. The estimated annual tonnage of the solid waste that will be delivered to the undesignated solid waste facility covered by the waiver request. 5. An explanation describing how approval of the waiver request is not inconsistent with the projections contained in the District's initial or amended Plan under divisions (A)(6) and (7) of section of the Revised Code. 6. An explanation describing how approval of the waiver request will not adversely affect implementation and financing of the District's initial or amended Plan pursuant to the implementation schedule contained in the District's initial or amended Plan under division (A)(12)(a) of section of the Revised Code The District shall act on a waiver request in accordance with its procedures within 90 days after receipt of the request. The District shall evaluate the impact of the issuance of the waiver upon: Projections contained in the District's approved (or ordered to be implemented) plan under Section (A)(6) and (A)(7); and Implementation and financing of the District's approved Plan. Only after evaluating the waiver request and finding that: 1) it is not inconsistent with plan projections, and 2) it will not adversely impact plan implementation and financing, may the District issue a waiver allowing solid waste to be taken to an undesignated facility. Any waiver granted by the Board shall be included in a waiver agreement by and between the Board and the person granted the waiver. The waiver agreement shall contain the terms and conditions upon which the waiver was granted and the payment by the grantee of the waiver fee, if any, assessed on each ton of solid waste covered by the waiver. G. Siting Strategy for Facilities Districts are required to develop a detailed strategy for identification of sites for new and expanded solid waste management facilities identified under Section VI-C above. This requirement applies to District facilities as well as designated facilities to be owned and operated by the private sector or individual communities within the District. Ohio EPA recommends the siting strategy include a preliminary site survey, a ranking scheme, and a procedure for resolving site impasses through mediation. A sample ranking scheme can be found in Appendix K. Although the Crawford County Solid Waste Management District does not anticipate any new facilities as part of this amended Plan, a facility siting process is described herein in case such a process is required in connection with the siting of a solid waste facility in the future. The siting strategy shall be implemented by the Crawford County Commissioners. The District, if and when the need arises, will establish a Facilities Siting Committee to undertake the site survey and ranking scheme reviews in connection with the siting of facilities. The County will develop a Site Review Investigation Process VI-5

86 2015 Crawford County Solid Waste Plan Update DRAFT 10/2/15 to be followed in the siting of new solid waste management facilities. The process will incorporate the site survey, ranking scheme, and procedure for resolving site impasses through meditation. The siting committee will also develop a schedule for completing the siting process. The District will develop the baseline information needed in undertaking the site review investigations. The objective of this work will be to gather and assemble in one place all of the background information on the physical features, land use, ordinances affecting land use, socioeconomic, environmental and other relevant data on the District, as well as the existing Ohio EPA regulations and siting criteria and other requirements related to facilities siting. This information will be used in the site review and ranking scheme process and will be presented in a suitable technical format such as GIS (geographic information system) mapping. The District has developed a set of preliminary exclusionary siting criteria based mainly on Ohio EPA's siting restrictions. A preliminary ranking scheme has been devised. The following factors will be considered when reviewing potential sites. Population Density Access to Site Soil Conditions Ground Water Wells in the Vicinity Availability of Public Utilities Site Visibility Land Use and Zoning Archaeological, Historical, Cultural and Recreational Significance Each factor will be analyzed quantitatively and depending on the type of facility will receive a certain number of points. The Facilities Siting Committee will be established with the objective of having as broad a public representation on the Committee as possible. After the Site Review Investigation Process has been developed, the District will hold a public information meeting to explain the process and review the site survey and ranking scheme. The Policy Committee and Facilities Siting Committee will seek public input in the review process for the siting of individual facilities. This process will include at least one public information meeting following the ranking of sites for consideration for a particular facility. The Facilities Siting Committee will develop a dispute resolution process to be used when necessary in siting solid waste facilities. A mediator will be used in cases where a controversy develops among the parties involved in siting a solid waste facility, such as between the facility operator and neighbors, the District, or the landowners.

99 2015 Crawford County Solid Waste Plan Update DRAFT 10/2/15 Section VII. MEASUREMENT OF PROGRESS TOWARD WASTE REDUCTION GOALS [ORC Section (A)] A. District will Comply with Goal(s) Identified As discussed in Section V, the 2001 State Solid Waste Management Plan (2001 State Plan) establishes eight goals that districts are required to achieve in their solid waste management plans. These goals are important to further waste minimization and recycling within the District. However, Goal #1 and Goal #2 are considered primary goals when evaluating a District s plan for compliance with the State Plan. The 2001 State Plan mandates that the Crawford County Solid Waste Management District comply with either Goal #1 or Goal #2. Solid Waste Management Districts are encouraged to attempt to demonstrate compliance with both goals of the 2001 State Plan but are required to demonstrate compliance with only one goal or the other, as summarized below. 1. Goal #1 - Program standards for SWMD's: Ensure the availability of reduction, recycling, and other waste reduction methods that are alternatives to landfilling for residential/commercial solid waste by the third year after approval of the SWMD s solid waste management plan (2016). 2. Goal #2 - By the year 2016, a) 25 percent waste reduction rate for residential/commercial sector, and b) 66 percent waste reduction rate for the industrial sector. 3. Both Goal #1 and Goal #2. In this section, the Crawford County Solid Waste Management District (SWMD) declares that this Plan will demonstrate compliance with both Goal #1 and Goal #2 of the 2001 Goal #3 of the 2009 State Plan. As presented earlier in the Plan Update, waste generation, disposal, and reduction figures throughout the document are based on actual disposal plus waste reduction figures as identified by the District. Following, is the information required by the Format for the District to demonstrate compliance with Item "1", meeting Goal #1. Information is presented later in this section to show the District's progress toward meeting Goal #2. B. Demonstration of Compliance with Goal #1 According to the 2001 State Plan, solid waste management districts (SWMDs): must demonstrate that the waste reduction, recycling, or minimization programs or activities in existence or scheduled to be implemented will be available by the third year after VII-1

100 2015 Crawford County Solid Waste Plan Update DRAFT 10/2/15 approval of the SWMD s solid waste management plan for a minimum of seven of eleven materials Furthermore, the 2001 State Plan states that a SWMD meets Goal #1 by demonstrating that: At least 90 percent of its residents have or will have access to recycling opportunities; Commercial and institutional generators have access to recycling opportunities; Recycling opportunities will be made available within the first three years of the planning period covered by the solid waste management plan; Each recycling opportunity will accept at least five recyclable materials; and The SWMD encourages participation in recycling opportunities through outreach and/or financial incentives. The District must also demonstrate that generators in the residential sector and generators in the commercial/institutional sector have access to recycling or other alternative management methods for at least five of the materials identified as highly amenable to recovery from solid waste generated by each sector. The twelve highly amenable materials are corrugated cardboard, office paper, newspaper, glass containers, steel containers, aluminum containers, plastic containers, wood packaging and pallets, lead-acid batteries, major appliances, and yard waste. The State Plan does not place a limit on the number of materials that can be targeted for both sectors. The same five residential materials need not be targeted for every residential recycling program. The CCSWMD will comply with all of the requirements of Goal #1. Table VII-1 lists the materials that are designated for each sector. 1. Demonstration of Compliance with Residential Standards a. Service Area: For the purpose of determining compliance with this goal the service area will be all of Crawford County. b. Access: Access is defined as the presence of waste reduction services or opportunities and other alternative management programs. Opportunity is defined as drop-off recycling, nonsubscription curbside (curbside collection programs which are contracted and paid for by a political jurisdiction or programs in which the resident does not pay separately for curbside collection), subscription curbside (curbside provided at the option of the residential customer, usually with an added service fee), centralized MRF (materials recovery facility), or a combination of any of these. The State Plan requires districts to demonstrate access for: A minimum of 90 percent of the population of the service area; and The materials (minimum of five) designated for the recycling program (Table VII- 1 indicates eight materials for the residential sector). Non-subscription Curbside: There were no non-subscription curbside programs operating in Crawford County in the reference year, VII-2

101 2015 Crawford County Solid Waste Plan Update DRAFT 10/2/15 Subscription Curbside: There were no subscription curbside programs operating in Crawford County in the reference year, Recycling Drop-offs: Credit may be taken for 2,500 persons served in a rural area and 5,000 persons served in an urban area per full service drop-off. A full service drop-off is a site open to the public at least 40 hours per week which handles at least the five designated materials. Districts may take credit for a higher number served per drop-off if the District can demonstrate that more people use the drop-off based on tons recovered. A rural area is defined as any municipality or township less than 5,000 in population. In 2013, the District provided one rural full-service drop-off. An urban area is any municipality or township equal to or greater than 5,000 in population. In 2013, the District provided six urban full-service drop-offs. A part-time drop-off must meet the following criteria: at least five of the designated materials are handled and the drop-off is available to the public at a regularly scheduled time at least once per month. Credit may be taken for up to 2,500 persons served by a parttime drop-off. Table VII-2 shows that the calculation of residential sector access for Crawford County is 138%exceeds 132%. The program listings correspond to the programs that were in place in the reference year as described in Table III-5. This percentage will increase during the planning period because of the two drop-off locations added in 2014 as described in Chapter V. Note for Table VII-2: The populations listed in the Population columns are the populations for the city, village, or township served by the program. If a program serves multiple areas, the population listed is the total population for the area served. For example, the full-time drop-off at Camp Michael in Bucyrus Township serves the township as well as the residents of Bucyrus City. The population listed is the total for the two communities. c. Participation: The participation standard is being met by the District through an aggressive education and awareness program. The District Coordinator is responsible for implementing the education and awareness program. The target audience is the general public and school children as a subset target audience. The District regularly provides presentations to school groups that focus on recycling, litter prevention and solid waste management. Some presentations may include videos, puppet shows and hands on activities such as papermaking, plastic making or arts and crafts projects. The District also provides Recycling Field Trips to all school grade levels, youth groups, scouts, 4H, church and adult civic groups in the Spring, Summer and Fall. Visitors are shown how recyclables are collected, sorted and prepared for shipment. Crawford County s annual Earth Day Celebration is held at the Crawford County Fairgrounds and the District hosts a booth where information about how to recycle, contact information VII-3

102 2015 Crawford County Solid Waste Plan Update DRAFT 10/2/15 on local recycling companies that provide recycling services, dates and times of the special collection events hosted by the District, and hours of operation and materials accepted at the District s Recycling Center is distributed. Examples can be found in Appendix H. The District provided seven full-service drop-off collection points (including the Crawford County Recycling Center, five additional urban locations and one rural location) and fifteen sixteen part-time drop-off collection points in All of the part-time collection locations meet the access requirement of being available at least once per month. The District Coordinator schedules groups to volunteer at these drop-offs and the District provides financial incentives to a variety of groups when they volunteer to man drop-off locations through out the District. The groups include Girl Scout Troops, 4-H Clubs, Church groups, schools and groups involved with after school activities. Groups receive proceeds from the sale of recyclables collected and each group actively promotes recycling so that they maximize the recyclables collected. As the volunteers work, it is a wonderful opportunity to reinforce the educational message described above as well as create excitement for the groups to get others involved as the majority of these events typically involve families. The hallmark of this program is the ownership it creates in the volunteers working at the dropoffs and the ability to keep it community based enables on-going support. The District believes that the success of the education and awareness program is directly related to the requests by groups to volunteer at the drop-off locations. The number of drop-off locations has remained fairly constant since the prior plan update. This is a significant testimony to the commitment provided by the District to maintain education efforts as the membership in these volunteer organization changes and the number of members fluctuates. The leadership provided by the District Coordinator in working with these groups and adjusting schedules to accommodate the needs of the volunteers has enabled the District to provide access to recycling for the residential sector. 2. Demonstration of Compliance with Commercial/Institutional Standards This sector includes retail and wholesale businesses, schools, banks, government office buildings, and similar businesses and organizations. In order to demonstrate compliance with plan standard the District must address the following: a. Service Area: The service area is Crawford County. b. Access: In order to meet the access standards, districts must demonstrate that there are recycling services available to this sector which handles at least five of the materials used to meet the overall recycling goal. The seven materials designated for this sector are corrugated cardboard, office paper, glass containers, steel containers, plastic containers, wood packaging and pallets, and lead-acid batteries (see Table VII-1). c. Participation: The District Coordinator is responsible for implementing the public education and awareness program for the commercial/institutional sector. Annually, the District surveys the commercial/institutional sector for recyclable and solid waste tonnages. This VII-4

103 2015 Crawford County Solid Waste Plan Update DRAFT 10/2/15 survey includes information about the District as well as contact information for recycling opportunities. The District also collects recyclables from businesses in Crawford County and delivers the materials to the Recycling Center. The number of businesses serviced by the District and the material collected has increased significantly over the recent years. The District believes that this regular interaction with businesses reinforces the education and awareness program for recycling at commercial/institutional facilities. The District uses the web site to post information available to businesses, including opportunities to recycle. C. Calculating Goal #2, the Waste Reduction Rate (WRR) Goal #2 of the 2001 State Plan states that Ohio should: "... reduce and/or recycle at least 66 percent of the total generation of solid waste statewide by the third year after approval of the SWMD solid waste management plan". In order to implement this goal, the State established two objectives: Objective #1 - SWMDs must reduce or recycle at least 25 percent of the residential/commercial waste generated by the third year after approval of the SWMD solid waste management plan; and Objective #2 - SWMDs must reduce or recycle at least 66 percent of the industrial waste generated by the third year after approval of the SWMD solid waste management plan. The following calculations demonstrate that the Crawford County Solid Waste District is meeting both the residential/commercial and industrial recycling objectives. The Waste Reduction Rate (WRR) for the Crawford County Solid Waste Management District calculated for the residential/commercial sector is presented in Table VII-3, in Table VII-4 for the industrial sector, and both are summarized as the District total in Table VII-5. The residential/commercial WRR was 35.3% in 2013, the industrial WRR was 94.4% in 2013, and the total WRR for the District was 64.3% in Therefore, the Crawford County Solid Waste District meets Goal #2. To determine the District WRR as required by the Format, the following values were projected for each year of the planning period. 1. Tons of Source Reduction and Recycling - R Tons of source reduction and recycling for the reference year was determined by adding all documented source reduction and recycling totals from surveys, phone calls, and other data collection efforts. The total for R for the reference year is the actual tons tabulated; no extrapolation was done to determine the non-respondents recycling totals. 2. Tons of Waste Composted - C Total tons of yard waste composted by communities including leaves and brush. VII-5

104 2015 Crawford County Solid Waste Plan Update DRAFT 10/2/15 3. Tons of Waste Incinerated - I The total for I was determined from the captive incinerator in operation in the District in the reference year. For the purposes of this report, tons of waste incinerated in this captive incinerator is expected to remain constant through the planning period. 4. Tons of Incinerator Ash Produced - A Tons of incinerator ash was kept constant for the planning period. 5. Tons Waste Disposed in Landfills - DL Tons of waste disposed in landfills for the reference year was determined from Ohio EPA and Crawford County Solid Waste District records. In calculating the District s projected WRR, no non-compostable waste (NC) was delivered for composting and subsequently disposed in a landfill during the reference year, and none is projected through the planning period. Likewise, there was no recycled incinerator ash (RA) reported for the reference year and none is projected for the planning period. The following formulas were used to calculate the Waste Reduction Rate (WRR) and the Per Capita Waste Reduction Rate (PCWR) for the Crawford County Solid Waste Management District for the reference year (2013) and for the 15-year planning period: TWR i = R i + (C i - NC i ) + (I i - A i ) + RA i (1) where: TWR i = the Tons of Waste Reduction for year i R i = tons of waste source reduced and Recycled in year i C i = tons of waste Composted in year i NC i = tons of Non-Compostables delivered for composting, but ultimately separated for landfill disposal in year i I i = tons of waste Incinerated in year i A i = tons of incinerator Ash plus bypass waste in year i RA i = tons of Recycled incinerator Ash in year i The following formula was used to estimate generation based upon disposal and waste reduction amounts: EGDWR i = TWR i +DL i where: EGDWR i = Estimated Generation based upon Disposal plus Waste Reduction DL i = Tons of waste Disposed in sanitary Landfills in year i VII-6

105 2015 Crawford County Solid Waste Plan Update DRAFT 10/2/15 The waste reduction rate can be calculated by dividing the sum from equation 1 by sum of equation 2: WRR i = TWR i x 100 (3) TWR + DL i where: WRRi = the Waste Reduction Rate in year i as a percent The amount of waste reduction per capita per day is calculated as follows: PCWR i = TWR i x 2000 lbs. (4) P i x 365 days where: PCWR i = the Per Capita Waste Reduction rate in pounds per person per day in year i. P i = the Population of the district in year i VII-7

111 2015 Crawford County Solid Waste Plan Update DRAFT 10/2/15 Section VIII. COST AND FINANCING OF PLAN IMPLEMENTATION [ORC Section 3734(A)(9), (12) and (B)] The purpose of this Chapter is to explain the revenue production mechanisms that the District will use, list the expected costs of the programs that the District will implement during the planning period, and demonstrate that the District can fund the requirements of this Plan for the entire planning period. The cost and financing of Plan implementation of the Crawford County Solid Waste District is presented for the 15- year planning period January 1, 2016 through December 31, A. Funding Mechanisms and Amount of Money Generated The Crawford County Solid Waste Management District intends to fund its solid waste programs primarily through revenue generated from: 1) district disposal tier fees on solid waste disposed at the Crawford County Solid Waste Facility (landfill) and 2) generation fees on all waste generated in Crawford County. Additional revenue is generated from the sale of recyclables collected at the Crawford County Recycling Center and the sale of miscellaneous used equipment. This plan update includes a schedule for disposal and generation fees to be collected by the District as detailed in Tables VIII-1 and VIII District Disposal Fees (ORC Section (B)) In accordance with ORC (B), the District instituted tiered fees on the disposal of solid waste at the Crawford County Landfill. These disposal fees are the District s primary funding mechanism, which in 2013 generated 77% of the District s revenue. Effective with the approval of this Plan (expected in 2016), the District will increase the district disposal tier fees as follows: 1) the current $1.00/ton in-district fee will be increased to $2.00/ton; 2) the current $2.65/ton out-of-district (but in-state) fee will be increased to $4.00/ton; 3) the current out-of-state fee of $12.00/ton will remain the same. Once these fees go into effect, the disposal tier fee schedule will remain constant throughout the fifteen year planning period. Revenues expected from the solid waste disposal fees are shown in Table VIII-1. Revenues for years 2013 and 2014 are actual revenues, while revenue for 2015 is the budgeted amount. Historically, the out-of-district waste accepted at the Crawford County landfill has accounted for approximately 85% to 90% of all waste accepted. However, out-of-district tonnage for 2015 is expected to decline by nearly 30% (from 133,371 tons in 2014 to 93,421 tons in 2015), primarily due to the loss of two major contributing customers. For planning purposes, the projected out-of-district tonnage for the planning period is held constant at the 2015 rate of 93,421 tons. This amount still accounts for a significant percentage (80%) of the tonnage at the Crawford County landfill, and the VIII-1

112 2015 Crawford County Solid Waste Plan Update DRAFT 10/2/15 additional revenue collected from this out-of-district waste enables the District to implement the major components of the solid waste management plan. There has been no out-of-state waste disposed at the Crawford County Landfill; therefore, no outof-state disposal fees are included in the district fee revenues shown in Table VIII Generation Fee (ORC Section ) As authorized by ORC and under the District s current solid waste management plan, the District charges a generation fee, which is a fee paid on all municipal solid waste generated in the boundaries of the District. The fee is collected at the first disposal facility, transfer facility or landfill to receive the waste. The fee is paid on residential/commercial waste, industrial waste and waste listed as other. The generation fee is not paid on exempt waste. The generation fee in place in 2015 was $2.00 per ton. Effective with the approval of this Plan (expected in 2016), the District will increase the generation fee to $3.00 for the first five years of the planning period, and will impose additional increases at five year intervals: to $4.00 on January 1, 2021, and to $4.50 on January 1, 2026, as shown in Table VIII-2. Revenues for years 2013 and 2014 are actual revenues, while revenue for 2015 is the budgeted amount. Implementation of the generation fee increases will occur as a result of the ratification and approval of this Plan by the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency unless a subsequent ratified and approved Plan or resolution makes changes in the fees before January The CCSWMD will reassess the generation fee level that is required to support the District s planned programs when the next fiveyear plan update is prepared. Preparation of the next five-year plan will begin before Summary of District Revenues Table VIII-3, Summary of Revenue Generated and Mechanisms Used, presents the District s actual revenues from all funding mechanisms for 2013 and 2014, estimated revenues for 2015 and forecasted revenues for 2016 through The District s primary funding mechanism is the disposal fee, which in 2013 generated 77% of the District s revenue, as shown in Figure VIII-1. The District plans to receive revenue from the following sources in addition to the District disposal tier fees and generation fee highlighted above. Sale/collection of recyclables: The District receives revenue from the sale of materials that are collected at the Crawford County Recycling Center and from the CCSWMD drop-off recycling bins located throughout the County and at area businesses. The revenue from these programs will vary depending on the market price for recyclable materials. In addition, the District charges a moderate fee for some items accepted at the recycling center to help defray the cost of recycling difficult to manage materials including televisions, appliances with refrigerants, computer monitors, latex paint hardeners, and tires. A notice with the recycling fees as of January 2015 is included in Appendix H. The District also charges businesses a nominal fee for the collection, handling and processing of recyclables to recover the cost of the recycling bins. VIII-2

113 2015 Crawford County Solid Waste Plan Update DRAFT 10/2/15 Over the past few years, the District has seen significant swings in revenue from recyclables. The amount budgeted for recycling revenue in 2015 is based on the annual average of revenue earned in 2012 through For planning purposes revenues from the sale of recyclables and fees from the collection of recyclable is projected to remain constant throughout the fifteen year planning period. User fees: The District has 113 cardboard dumpsters that it makes available to commercial and industrial businesses located in the County. For years, the District provided the bins and the collection, handing and processing of the recyclables free of charge. However, starting in June 2015, the District established a $20 per month per container fee to recover the cost of the recycling bins. As noted in Chapter IV, the District s business collection program has been expanding since 2010; however, the District acknowledges that establishing a fee, even the nominal fee the District adopted, may result in some fluctuation in the number of businesses participating in the program. For this reason, the District has not budgeted any income from this fee for 2015, but has forecasted a high participation rate for the planning period. Other miscellaneous revenue: This category includes revenue from the District s sales of miscellaneous used equipment, such as used recycling containers and processing equipment. The District takes advantage of bidding through the State of Ohio for vehicles and equipment purchases. The amount for the planning period is kept constant at $2,500 based on the average of the amounts collected from 2012 through At this time, there is no anticipation of securing loans or grants to facilitate plan implementation during the planning period, and such is indicated on Table VIII-4.

Costs of Plan Implementation Annual costs for all Crawford County District facilities, activities, and programs for the 15-year planning period are presented in Table VIII-5 Estimated Costs for Plan Implementation., with specific allocation of costs to various programs displayed in Tables VIII-5a, 5b, 5c, 5d, and 5e. Costs are identified by category (e.g. labor, utilities, and contracted services) where applicable. For the most part District expenses projected for the planning period are based on the actual expenses of the District between 2009 and 2014 and the budgeted amounts for Adjustments were made to account for one-time expenses, changes in contract costs and other information available to the District. In light of the District s plan to increase fees, the District has also included various cost cutting efforts in an effort to reduce the amount of fee increase needed to cover expected costs. While a previous section of this plan explained the various programs and activities the District will undertake during the planning period, the following is additional information relating to the cost estimates as presented in Table VIII-5.
