Baird, County Administrator <br />From: Vincent Burke, P.E., Director of Utility Service <br />Prepared By: Himanshu H. Mehta, P.E., Managing Director, Solid Waste Disposal District tt.T11. <br />Subject: Request to Adopt the 2014 Solid Waste Master Plan <br />DESCRIPTIONS AND CONDITIONS: <br />On December 3, 2013, the Solid Waste Disposal District (SWDD) Board approved Work Order No. 1 <br />with Neel -Schaffer, Inc. (NSI) in the amount of $148,202 to provide engineering services to prepare <br />the 2014 Solid Waste Master Plan (SWMP). This plan updates the previous master plan adopted in <br />2007 for long-term management of countywide solid waste through a series of technical <br />memorandums (TM) that build toward a final report to be presented to the Board for adoption. <br />The purpose of this agenda item is to present the 2014 Solid Waste Master Plan for direction and <br />adoption by the SWDD Board per a time -certain meeting scheduled for Tuesday, September 23, <br />2014 at 1:30 PM. This update provides an opportunity to rethink what traditionally has been <br />regarded as garbage and to treat all materials as resources instead of discards. This change in <br />thinking and a commitment to make progressive changes in how these materials are managed will <br />help reshape the management of solid waste in Indian River County (IRC) by demonstrating <br />leadership for recycling efforts in the State of Florida. <br />On May 14, 2014, a presentation was made to the SWDD Board summarizing TM's 1 thru 3: <br />• TM 1 covered the background data and description of existing solid waste management conditions; <br />• TM 2-A covered Solid Waste Projections, Landfill Facility Airspace Utilization and Site Development <br />Plan; <br />• TM 2-B covered the Cost of Service Analysis; and <br />• TM 3 covered the Customer Convenience Center Improvements. <br />On June 3, 2014, a presentation was made to the SWDD Board summarizing TM's 4 and 5: <br />• TM 4 covered the results of the Waste Composition Study performed by Kessler Consulting, Inc. (KCI), <br />as a subconsultant to NSI; and <br />• TM 5 identified opportunities to improve collection efficiencies and increase recycling in the future. <br />SWDD Agenda - Request to Adopt the 2014 Solid Waste Master Plan Page 1 of 6 <br />151 <br />
