• <br />• <br />2014 Solid Waste Management Plan <br />Yard waste management is expected to continue as current practice. The SWDD <br />entered into a 20 year agreement with the adjacent INEOS LLC Inc. (INEOS) <br />Energy Facility in July 15, 2011 for the processing and use of vegetative (yard) <br />wastes for feedstock to produce biofuels. INEOS has also contracted with SWDD to <br />utilize collected LFG for biofuel production. The SWDD yard waste has been going <br />to INEOS since September 2012. <br />Residential collection is by voluntary collection through county -authorized <br />collection franchisees. Approximately 34% of unincorporated County residents <br />subscribe for service. The SWDD provides universal curbside recycling to all <br />County residents through its exclusive waste collection franchises and includes the <br />cost of this service in the non -ad valorem assessment. <br />SWDD does not have a long-term inter -local solid waste disposal agreement (ILA) <br />with any of the municipalities within Indian River County. A municipality may <br />opt out of the SWDD upon written notice prior to January 1 of each year, effective <br />the subsequent October 1. <br />The five citizen convenience centers (CCCs) are a major component of the System <br />providing solid waste disposal and recycling services to unincorporated County <br />residents that do not subscribe to voluntary collection by County solid waste <br />collection franchisees. The CCCs are located in the Fellsmere, Roseland, Winter <br />Beach, Gifford and Oslo areas of the County. During the past four years, SWDD <br />has replaced Fellsmere and Oslo facilities with new facilities that are safer and <br />friendly for users and environmentally sound. The Roseland, Gifford and Winter <br />Beach CCCs are over 30 years old and are in need of major repair and <br />improvements in order to continue to provide the same level of service to the <br />residents. <br />The CCCs are open five days per week for residential customer use. The <br />percentage of total system wastes received and transferred through the CCCs was <br />at the lowest percent (6 percent) in 2007 of the total waste stream due to high <br />system throughput. It has since leveled off at 9 to 10 percent of total system waste <br />over the past five years and less than 5 percent of recyclables. Tonnage throughput <br />at the five CCCs over the past five years has averaged 23,500 tons/year, about 90 <br />tons per operational day. <br />Rig NEEL— SCHAFFER <br />ES -3 <br />159 <br />
