Kaci <br />Departmental Item <br />INDIAN RIVER COUNTY, FLORIDA <br />DEPARTMENT OF UTILITY SERVICES <br />Date: <br />To: <br />From: <br />Subject: <br />May 3, 2019 <br />Jason E. Brown, County Administrator <br />Vincent Burke, P.E., Director of Utility Services <br />Modifications to Septic Hauler Agreement for the Residuals Dewatering Facility <br />BACKGROUND <br />On May 23, 2017, the Indian River County Board of County Commissioners (BCC) approved the Indian <br />River County Department of Utility Services (IRCDUS) request to implement the Application and <br />Agreement for Disposal of Septage, Food Establishment Sludge and Portable Restroom Wastewater <br />(Agreement) with Indian River County Septage and Food Residual haulers that use the Indian River County <br />Residuals Dewatering Facility (RDF). <br />ANALYSIS: <br />Per BCC direction in the May 2, 2017 meeting, the RDF immediately ceased accepting out -of -county waste <br />from non -Indian River County haulers and no longer accepted any out -of -county waste from Indian River <br />county haulers as of June 1, 2017. Since the stoppage of out -of -county wastes being received and <br />processed at the RDF, the downstream West Regional Wastewater Treatment Facility (WRWWTF) has <br />returned to operating within permit compliance, with the characteristics of the influent to the WRWWTF <br />now falling within facility design parameters. <br />The original format of the Agreement has been in place since May 2017 without having received any <br />updates. During that timeframe, IRCDUS staff have ensured hauler compliance with the Agreement. <br />Annual review of the Agreement prior to renewal offerings afforded staff an opportunity to address items <br />in the Agreement where minor changes to the language in the Agreement will allow staff to more <br />thoroughly track the product that is being delivered to our facility. In addition, proposed language changes <br />will also more clearly detail disposal procedures at the RDF. The requested changes are detailed below. <br />Proposed Modifications to the Agreement <br />Requirements of Acceptance Section: <br />• Change to #8.a. — American Express is now accepted so the sentence "Please note, American <br />Express is not accepted" will be deleted. <br />• Addition of #13 - Haulers must abide with all requirements by IRCDUS, as well as remain compliant <br />102 <br />Page 1of2 <br />C:\Users\legista r\AppData\Local\Temp\BCL Technologies\easyPDF 8\@BCL@200E0271\@BCL@ 200E0271.docx <br />
