Mr. Himanshu Mehta, P.E. Managing Director <br />7 November 2019 <br />Page 3 <br />and Heartland to conduct the pilot study to demonstrate the effectiveness of Heartland's system to <br />evaporate leachate from the IRC Landfill. SWDD has also requested Geosyntec to submit a <br />proposal to conduct an independent evaluation of the pilot study. <br />PROPOSED SCOPE OF WORK <br />This proposal presents the scope of work for conducting an evaluation of the pilot study to use <br />Heartland's thermal evaporation system to manage the leachate from the IRC Landfill. The <br />objective of the pilot study is to address some of the following technical and economic issues: (i) <br />is there enough landfill gas (LFG) or another source(s) of heat energy available to handle the <br />Landfill leachate flow volumes; (ii) evaluate the effectiveness of the evaporation system under <br />site-specific conditions to confirm volume reductions of 90 percent or greater; (iii) evaluate the <br />need to further process the residuals to pass the Paint Filter Liquids Test and Toxicity <br />Characteristic Leaching Procedure (TCLP) requirements for disposal of these residuals at the <br />Landfill; (iv) evaluate the ultimate management of evaporator residuals (i.e. offsite at the IRC <br />Landfill or another disposal facility if the evaporator is installed on IRED property); and (v) re- <br />evaluate final system costs using the pilot study results. For budgeting purposes, the scope of work <br />will be performed in four phases as follows: <br />• Phase 1 — General consulting/meeting support/project management; <br />• Phase 2 — Pilot study coordination and site visit; <br />• Phase 3 — Evaluation of pilot study results; and <br />• Phase 4 — Preparation of Technical Memorandum. <br />Each of these phases is briefly described below. <br />Phase 1— General Consulting/Meeting Support/Project Management <br />Under this phase, Geosyntec will perform project planning and management responsibilities, such <br />as correspondence with SWDD and IRCDUS, invoice review, project coordination, budget and <br />schedule tracking and project administration. Geosyntec has also included a budget for preparation <br />and attendance (by two Geosyntec personnel) at two meetings: (i) kickoff meeting with the SWDD <br />staff; and (ii) project review meeting with SWDD staff to review and discuss the results from the <br />pilot study. Geosyntec has assumed that the kickoff and project review meetings will be held via <br />teleconference in order to reduce overall costs to the project. Additional meetings are discussed <br />in subsequent phases of this proposal. <br />Phase 2 — Pilot Study Coordination and Site Visit <br />Under this phase, Geosyntec will coordinate with SWDD, IRED, and Heartland to conduct the <br />pilot study on the IRC Landfill property. As requested by IRED and Heartland through SWDD, <br />
