M M REVENUES AND EXPENSES REVENUES The SWDD operates under an enterprise fund and the primary source of revenues is the solid waste assessment on developed properties that is collected by the Tax Collector. The estimated revenues from the assessments for this fiscal year are $6,166,699. Additional revenues are collected daily for new construction as certificates of occupancy are issued. New construction is charged a prorated fee for waste disposal covering the period from issuance of CO to when the new construction is on the assessment roll. There are materials such as construction debris, landclearing debris, tires, etc. that are not covered under the assessment program and these materials are charged a tipping fee on being brought into the landfill. The tipping fee schedule is provided in Figure 11. For an example of the revenue sources and their amounts Figure 12 outlines each revenue source and the estimated amounts for fiscal year 1996-97. EXPENSES As previously discussed the operations of the SWDD are broken down into three (3) different budgets consisting of Landfill, Refuse, and Recycling. The expenses under each of these budgets are broken down into numerous individual operational expenses. Last fiscal year the actual expenses for solid waste management were as follows: LANDFILL $3,626,804 REFUSE $ 362,039 RECYCLING $1,719,195 TOTAL 55.708.038 An illustration of these expenses for fiscal year 1995-96 is provided in FIGORE 13 .. CLOSED LANDFILLS The Florida Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) required the County to conduct an investigation of the groundwater conditions at the Closed Gifford Landfill. This investigation included a hydrogeologic survey and construction of approximately eighteen groundwater monitoring wells around the landfill. The DEP has recently agreed to allow the County to monitor the groundwater at the Gifford Landfill for two years in order to evaluate the contamination conditions, and further, evaluate the need to develop a groundwater cleanup operation. The professional services of Brown and Caldwell were used to investigate the conditions at the Gifford site and they have a continuing services contract with the County to perform groundwater investigations for another year and a half. As noted in the letters provided as Exhibit VII the DEP is now requiring the investigation of four other closed landfill sites, more specifically: 1. Oslo Landfill 2. Winter Beach Landfill 3. Wabasso Landfill 4. Roseland Landfill A research of our files revealed that all four of these sites were in fact landfills and they were all closed in 1977 under the Provisions of Temporary Operating Permits issued by the Department of Environmental Regulations. Figure 2 illustrates the locations of these landfill sites since the Collection/Recycling Centers are located on these closed landfills. it discussion on each of the old landfill sites.
