1 Discussion on Colquitt County Solid Waste June 16, 2016
2 Landowner Discussion Purpose of today s meeting: - Focus is on Environmental - Informative: We want to keep landowners in the loop and clear up any misinformation - Two way conversation: We d like to get some feedback - Keep things cordial: We understand this is a sensitive issue - Continue to meet in the future: keep the lines of communication open
3 Our Purpose Two key components: 1) Determine additional revenue sources for the county: Diversify our revenues away from property tax Identify possible additional sources of revenue and pursue them 2) Develop a long term solution for Colquitt County s municipal solid waste
4 Acres (Additional) Acres (Original) 400 Acres Total
5 Solid Waste Options Municipal Solid Waste / C & D Options: - 1) Permitting a new landfill on county-owned property Currently on-going (long term solution) - 2) Devise a waste to energy program that would convert solid waste into usable energy Currently on-going (long term solution) - 3) Collective bargaining with City of Moultrie for rates on surrounding area landfills and share privatized transfer costs Currently on-going (short term solution)
6 Current Status of Landfill Actions Taken Thus Far for Landfill: - June 10 & 17, 2015: Pursuant to O.C.G.A , the County ran advertisements in the Moultrie Observer to advertise for a public meeting on June 25, 2015 to discuss waste management needs of the local government or region and to describe the process of siting facilities to the public. - June 25, 2015: During a Called Meeting on this date, the Board unanimously voted to proceed with a site suitability study to be conducted by TTL.
7 Current Status of Landfill Actions Taken Thus Far for Landfill: - June 1, 2016: Site Suitability Study received. - Purpose of Site Suitability Study: A Site Suitability study is a government mandated process to evaluate a proposed landfill through scientific siting criteria. The process also requires for public and government participation/input into the siting of a landfill.
8 Recent EPD Inspection On May 10 th, EPD received an anonymous call from an individual claiming that leachate from the landfill was seeping into the Ochlockonee River. On May 12 th, EPD conducted an inspection of the landfill and determined that the claim was unsubstantiated.
9 Old Landfill vs. New Landfill: Old Landfill Opened in early 1970 s Less stringent design standards Environmental Concern Portions of the landfill disposal cells extended very near or down to groundwater No liner system in place to prevent migration of contaminants to groundwater No leachate collection system to prevent leachate from migrating to groundwater and causing contamination No landfill gas collection system to prevent methane migration Daily cover likely not applied, which contributed to leachate generation and odor problems. Groundwater monitoring and methane monitoring not required until (or not performed until) after 1991 Post Closure Care and Financial Assurance Monitoring Required (Closed in 1994)
10 Old Landfill vs. New Landfill: New Landfill Stringent siting and design standards. Environmental Concern Landfill will be constructed with a minimum 5 foot separation between the bottom of the waste unit and groundwater. The bottom and side slopes of the landfill will be lined with either a clay or geo-synthetic liner system or combination or both to prevent leakage into the underlying groundwater. Only one cell is open at a time to receive waste. Regulation requires that garbage is compacted and covered at the end of each day to minimized odor, pests, and wind disturbance. Leachate recovery system incorporated into the landfill design: A network of drains constructed in the bottom of the landfill collects the leachate that flows through the decomposing waste. The leachate is recovered and treated, recirculated, or disposed at an off-site treatment facility.
11 Old Landfill vs. New Landfill: Environmental Concern New Landfill, cont. Landfill gas collection system will be designed and installed to reduce Landfill Gas emissions and migration. More stringent restrictions on what can be disposed in a MSW landfill. More stringent reporting requirements. Groundwater and methane monitoring network will be installed before first waste is accepted. Groundwater will be monitored prior to placement of waste. Post Closure Care and Financial Assurance Monitoring Required for a minimum of 30 years
