Mr. Himanshu Mehta, P . E . 14 June 2010 Page 2 PROJECT BACKGROUND The IRCL facility is located in southern Indian River County , east of Interstate 95 , south of Oslo Road , and west of Rangeline Road in Vero Beach , Florida . The SWDD administers the management and operation of the Class 1 landfill at the IRCL facility . The Class I landfill includes Segment 1 , Segment 2 , and the Infill Area located between Segment 1 and Segment 2 . Segment 1 is approximately 20 acres , unlined , and was initially closed in 1990 with a cover system that included 8 - to 12 - in . thick compacted clay cap . Segment 2 , which is approximately 38 acres in total footprint, has a 60 - mil thick high - density polyethylene ( HDPE) geomembrane single liner . The Infill Area has : ( i ) a single composite liner comprised of a 60 - mil thick HDPE geomembrane placed on top of 2 -ft thick compacted clay liner over a 5 - acre area between Segment 1 and Segment 2 ; and ( ii ) a 60 - mil thick textured HDPE geomembrane single liner over the 7 . 5 acres of the eastern side slopes of the closed Segment 1 landfill . In October 2009 , the SWDD completed the construction of the vertical expansion and partial closure of the Class I Landfill . The vertical expansion would extend the life of the Class I landfill until January 2013 , based on current and projected waste acceptance rates . In order to meet the requirements of the IRC 2030 Comprehensive Plan , SWDD needs to construct another cell to provide the County with a minimum of five years of disposal capacity at the IRCL facility . The Segment 3 Expansion is comprised of two previously permitted landfill cells including a 32 - acre C & D disposal facility , Cell 2 , located east of Segment 2 that was permitted by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) on 15 .lune 2007 and a 38 -acre Class I landfill , Segment 3 , located east of the sedimentation pond and south of Cell 2 , that was also permitted by FDEP on 25 August 2008 . Because the SWDD has discontinued the practice of separate disposal of C & D debris in an unlined disposal facility , but rather for co - disposal of C & D debris in a Class 1 landfill comingled with municipal solid waste ( MSW) , Geosyntec submitted , on behalf of SWDD , a 5 -year renewal and a construct and operate permit application for the Class I landfill that also included ades gn toconve he 32 - acre Cell 2 C &D disposal area to a Class I landfill integrated with the previously permitted Segment 3 as well as a lateral expansion east of Segment 2 , to FDEP on March 17 , 2010 . Geosyntec has subsequently prepared responses to the first request for additional information ( R-Al ) on the permit application issued by FDEP on 16 April 2010 . SWDD is currently awaiting a decision on the completeness of the permit application by FDEP . The combined area of the 76 - acre footprint of Segment 3 Expansion represents the future disposal capacity of the County , and is comprised of eight contiguous landfill cells which are scheduled to be constructed in phases . The first phase consists of construction of Cell 1 , an area NCP2010/XL 101 12/J1, 10086A .doc ell };inevI'S I Scientists I innovators
