• Task 6.0 Evaluation of Existing Facilities and Operations This section of the Master Alan will develop individual solid waste system efficiency based upon facility capacity, permitting issues and ability to expand. Recommendations for specific solid waste system processes to evaluate in the subsequent alternative tasks will be provided. Subtask 6.1 Operational Evaluation G&R will summarise the current existing facilities for SWDD. Capacity potential turd ability to expand each operation will be determined and compared with actual usage of the facility. This evaluation will included review of the facilities based upon current environmental regulations. Staffing levels of each solid waste operation will be determined for subsequent analysis. All facilities will be inspected to also determine any necessary improvements to bring the facilities up to standards in the industry. Subtask 6.2 Unit Operation Breakdown G&R will develop a unit cost for each separate operation of the solid wast: system. The Class I, C&D, yard waste, and recycling operations costs will be calculated separately to develop a cost of processing per ton of material at the IRC landfill. Operational costs will be developed for collections, recycling and disposal where feasible Subtask 6.3 Task 6 Technical Memorandum G&R will present for County review a technical memorandum specifying solid waste management units that should be evaluated further in the alternative analysis tasks. The unit costs developed in subtask 6.2 will be compared to other east Central Florida solid waste system operations using Brevard, Lake, Orange, Seminole and St. Cloud. recent bid proposals to transport and dispose of solid waste out of local government jurisrlic.tin;is by private operators will also be presented for comparison purposes. Solid waste operations with high unit costs, capacity, andlor environmental issues at IRC will be identified for further evaluation in subsequent sections. Task 7.0 Leachate Management Alternatives Subtask 7.1 Leachate Characterization and Quantity Projection G&R will summarize leachate generation and quality data from the County's lined landfill cell. As part of this analysis G&R will review past leachate generation calculations to compare actual leachate flows versus estimates. G&R will develop a FIELD model to estimate leachate quantities on an average and peak basis from Segment 2, future operation of the infill segment, and the build out of the landfill site. Help model options will also be developed in consideration of the bioreactor landfill systems.
