06 Attachment B Management Plan BPT will bring Innovative processes and management of yard waste to Indian River County. In summary, the plan includes: The im ediale removal of all yard waste on a daily ba§iLfrom the landfill. Processing of the Material off-site at a high technology facility where 100% of the material is rec clad into higher value products. None of the material will be directly burned, buried, or stockpiled, and 1 GO% of the material will be recycled. a The elimination of management issues associated with yard waste at the landfill, including stockpiles, delays from marketing, potential fire and dust problems, and safety and liability issues associated with on-site processing. The management plan is detailed below. Receipt and Loading of Material BPT will have personnel at the site assigned on a full-time basis. The site supervisor will be responsible for daily coordination with Indian River County, and an additional spotter will be available for peak volume periods and to fill In when the Site Supervisor is absent. The people will be equipped with machinery to load green yard waste directly into transfer trailers, for immediate shipment to the BPT processing facility. Trucks will be loaded on a five-day per week basis; in the event any material is left at the landfill site on Friday, the crew will load trucks on the weekend to eliminate any backlog before the following Monday. Normal hours and holidays will be observed as specified in Section 3.6 on page 17 of the bid package. BPT will wont with Indian River to construct a loading area suitable to toad yard waste so it will not become contaminated with dirt from the landfill property. This not only minimizes the impact to Indian River in terms of the condition of the landfill, but also eliminates the County being charged for the weight of soil or other material as it leaves the facility. It's important to note the difference in the BPT process compared to other "recycling efforts'. We are using the material as a feedstock in a complex process, and therefore we want to keep it as clean as possible. Unlike some other markets, soil is detrimental to our process, and keeping the soils from the outgoing material can save both BPT and the County a significant amount of money. The receipt and loading machinery will be a front-end loader equipped with buckets and rakes, equal to a Caterpillar Model 950. The equipment will be permanently stationed at the landfill during the performance of this service and will always be on-site except for repairs or maintenance. It is intended that the equipment will be a new or late made] leased or purchased from a nearby equipment dealer. It is intended that the yard waste will be loaded into trucks and removed without processing on site. We do this because we have an extensive biomass cleaning system and size reduction system at our Processing Facility, and this is also an advantage to Indian River County: Not grinding at the landfill means less dust, vehicular traffic, and noise at the landfill. • The lack of large diesel powered grinding and processing machines at the site eliminate a Targe part of the County's exposure to liability associated with these machines. Specifically, Injury or damage from flying debris is eliminated. During the term of the service agreement BPT may elect to grind on-site, removing product immediately. Baling of yard waste is also being explored as a viable option. However, in any event Bn. T assures the County that all material will be removed from the landfill site on a weekly basis.
