It <br />BEINDORF AND ASSOCIATES, Inc. <br />1706 SOUTH DIXIE HIGHWAY <br />POST OFFICE BOX 848 <br />VERO BEACH, FLORIDA 32880 <br />JAMES L. SEINDORF, P. E. � TtLEPHONE 309/582.7851 <br />KENNETH W. <br />LETw. T. April 16, 1976 <br />MEMORANDUM <br />TO: Jack G. Jennings, County Administrator <br />FROM: James L. Beindorf, Consulting Engineer <br />RE: Sanitary Landfill <br />Dear Mr. Jennings: <br />This memorandum is written in regards to the length of <br />time the present sanitary landfill can serve the County. <br />We have checked by field measurements the rate of usage <br />of the present 'landfill. Since all of the solid waste, stumps <br />and debris is now being disposed of in the South Gifford'Site, <br />we find that approximately lk - 1k cells are being used per <br />month. There are 28 cells remaining as of the middle of <br />April 1976. Hence, based on the above data, it appears the <br />present landfill site will last between 18 to 20 months. <br />You can readily see that every possible effort .should be <br />made to commence locating -and constructing a new site for the <br />landfill. We know that a great deal of time will be' spent in <br />obtaining all the necessary permits from the regulartory <br />agencies. <br />We also list below some of qur thoughts concerning the <br />size of a new site, as well as a suggestion on moties to be <br />passed on to the Farmers Home Administration in the monies <br />they have allocated for these purposes for Indian River County, <br />Florida. We feel a minimum land area should be 160 acres with <br />an option of an additional 160 acres adjacent to the first <br />site. Location, if possible, should be on one of the high <br />coastal ridges which would give the best ground water conditions. <br />For your information, the net use of landfill dumping <br />purposes is approximately 707. of the gross area. The other 307. <br />is taken up in dikes, control ditches, roads, etc.' <br />k'e feel a reasonable dollar figure to be sent to F.H.A.- <br />for them to keep in reserve for the purpose of a new sanitary <br />landfill would be $2,000,000.00. This would cover the acqui- <br />.sition of new lards, building of access roads, equipment and <br />construction of the site. <br />APP 2 1 197 <br />The above is'only my thoughts on the matter, and of <br />course, there would need to be a great deal of study made as <br />to the location of the site as well as the proper construction <br />of the site to meet all the new requirements of the Department <br />of Environmental regulations. <br />JLB/ep <br />0 <br />Very truly yours, <br />James L. Beindorf <br />Consulting Engineer <br />
