• <br />2014 Solid Waste Management Plan <br />reduce or eliminate operations at the CCC's to reach or exceed an adjusted 50% <br />recycling rate by 2016. Several RFAs, RFIs, and RFPs would be issued in the next <br />two to three years as steps to implement the waste diversion/recycling strategy. <br />The RFA/RFP process for achieving 75% recycling is also included although actual <br />waste stream diversion of such magnitude will not take effect until the end of the 5 <br />year planning period. <br />10. Site Development Plan <br />The Site build -out Plan through the year 2040 is presented in Figure ES -3. This site <br />plan shows the location of future Class I, C&D and recyclables waste processing <br />facilities, a new citizen's drop-off center, new HHW waste temporary storage <br />facility, new single stream processing/transfer center and future Segment III <br />landfill cells. Figure ES -3 shows the Segment III cells needed for waste disposal for <br />a 50% recycling scenario. <br />Sequential base construction of the Segment III landfill is planned in four phases. <br />Cell 2 is designated for Phase 1, Phase 2 is comprised of Cells 3-4, Phase 3 is Cells <br />5-6 and Phase 4 is Cells 7-8. Due to the location and configuration of the Cells, the <br />airspace in Cells 1-4 is limited in height until the footprint is expanded by <br />constructing Cells 5-8. Closure of portions of the Segment III unit occur in phases <br />as final contours are reached. Closure is limited by the cells that have been <br />constructed and the amount of waste in place. The proposed sequential closures <br />are shown in Figure 7-2 in Section 7.0 of the report. These closures of 15 to 20 acres <br />each are described in the report section. <br />At 50% diversion/recycling, airspace depletion through 2040 is significantly <br />reduced to 5.6 million cubic yards, compared to 7.7 million cubic yards with the <br />current 37% recycling rate. If 75% diversion is reached by 2020, the landfill <br />utilization through year 2040 is reduced to 3.6 million cubic yards or about half of <br />the volume used at the current 37% recycling rate. Lower airspace utilization <br />allows future Segment III landfill base construction and landfill sequential closures <br />to be delayed. Table ES -3 provides a comparison of landfill base construction <br />activities and closures for the current recycling rate, a 50% recycling rate and a 75% <br />recycling rate. With 50% recycling, Segment III airspace depletion is extended to <br />Year 2068. <br />IU <br />NEEI_ SCHAFFER <br />ES -14 <br />170 <br />
