FEB 21997 <br />BOOK . <br />Board for permission for implementation, but some of these things <br />will require fairly immediate action. <br />Director Pinto then introduced Larry Adams, head of the <br />Solid Waste MasterPlan project for Camp, Dresser & McKee. <br />Mr. Adams informed the Board the Camp, Dresser & McKee is a <br />nationally recognized consulting firm, which specializes entirely <br />in the environmental field and has over 1,800 employees <br />nationally. He then -reviewed the impressive credentials and <br />achievements of the staff members working on this study, noting <br />that the former project manager resigned in December and is now <br />head of the Florida DER. Mr. Adams introduced Project Managers <br />Bob Hauser and Dan Strowbridge, who will discuss solid waste <br />management, Donald Munksgaard, who will review the septage and <br />grease management study, and Dan Anderson, rate specialist. <br />Mr. Hauser took the floor and gave an overview of their <br />approach to the solid waste master plan, i.e., evaluation of the <br />existing landfill and analysis of alternatives, including <br />resource recovery feasibility, energy markets, transfer stations, <br />etc., and then asked Dan Strowbridge to discuss development of <br />the plan. <br />Mr. Strowbridge reported that, in addition to lack of <br />disposal capacity, it was found there were inadequate environ- <br />mental controls at the existing Landfill, which was developed <br />without a liner and a leachate collection system. They also <br />found that the solid waste collection transfer green box system <br />was inefficient, and there is a problem with dead animal and <br />infectious waste disposal. They further found inefficient <br />handling of materials at the air curtain incinerator (pit burner) <br />and significant deterioration of that facility. Those were the <br />basic problems which they felt must be addressed. He noted the <br />county is currently generating 260 tons of waste materials a day, <br />and this will increase significantly in the next twenty years. <br />Mr. Strowbridge then addressed problems with the collection <br />and transfer system, citing high unit operating costs, Litter <br />2 <br />M <br />
