Mr. Himanshu Mehta 8 May 2025 Page 3 PROJECT BACKGROUND The IRCL facility is located in southern Indian River County, east of Interstate 95, south of Oslo Road, and west of Rangeline Road in Vero Beach, Florida. The landfill serves the unincorporated Indian River County and municipalities of Vero Beach, Orchid, Fellsmere, Sebastian, and Indian River Shores. The SWDD administers the management and operation of the Class I Landfill at the IRCL facility, and as such, it is the permit holder of the IRCL facility. This landfill facility is currently operating under Title V Air Operation Permit No. 0610015 -008 -AV, effective 24 January 2023. The permit covers the following EUs: (i) EU 003 — Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) Landfill; (ii) EU 004 — Emergency Standby Generator (805 HP) for the on-site bio -solids dewatering facility; (iii) EU 005 — Landfill Gas Utility Flare; (iv) EU 006 — Emergency Standby Generator (268 HP) at administrative building; (v) EU 007 — Emergency Standby Generator (26.8 HP) for new leachate lift station at the landfill; and EU 008 — 30,000 GPD Leachate Evaporator. As previously mentioned, the IRCL facility was issued a Title V Air Construction Permit No. 0610015 -009 -AC for the Landfill Gas Utility Flare as Emission Unit (EU) 009 on 31 October 2024 with an expiration date of 31 May 2027. This permit authorizes construction of the flare and initial operation to determine compliance with FDEP rules. The permit requires that SWDD apply for the permit at least 90 days prior to expiration of the air construction permit, but no later than 180 days after commencing operation. It also requires that SWDD conduct an initial visible emissions compliance test within 60 days after achieving the permitted capacity, but not later than 180 days after initial operation of the unit. The flare went into commercial operation in April 2025 after the start of commissioning and testing. Therefore, the permit application to include EU 009 to the Title V Air Operation Permit and the initial visible emissions test are due in July 2025. This proposal presents the scope of work, schedule and budget estimate to prepare a Title V Air Operation Permit revision application to include the Landfill Gas Utility Flare and to oversee the required testing. PROPOSED SCOPE OF WORK This project includes professional engineering services required to revise the Title V Air Operation Permit for the IRCL facility to include the Landfill Gas Utility Flare and to comply with the testing requirements of Permit No. 0610015 -009 -AC. The scope of work is based on the requirements of F.S. Chapter 403, Chapters 62-4, 62-210, 62-213 F.A.C., and Geosyntec's understanding of the project based on information provided by SWDD and the Title V permitting requirements. Geosyntec will provide the engineering services necessary to prepare the permit modification application and request for additional information (RAI) from FDEP. For budgeting purposes, the scope of work will be performed in three phases as follows: • Phase 1 — General Consulting/Meeting Support/Project Management; • Phase 2 — Visible Emission Testing; NCP2323263/JL23037 Title V Air Operation Permit Revision Pronosal.doc engineers I scientists I innovators
