13.A. CHAIRMAN STANBRIDGE - PELICAN ISLAND NATURAL <br />WILDLIFE REFUGE PARTNERSHIP CEREMONY <br />Chairman Stanbridge reported that this event, held on April 3, 2002, was a great <br />bonding experience since the attendees were huddled together under two tents in order to <br />get out of the hail, wind and rain. In spite of the weather, everybody had a good time. She <br />hopes that the weather will be more cooperative one year from now for the Grand Opening. <br />13.D. COMMISSIONER GINN - REPORT ON UTILITIES <br />ADVISORY COMMITTEE'S RECOMMENDATIONS CONCERNING <br />ACCEPTANCE OF SLUDGE FROM INDIANTOWN COMPANY, INC. <br />Commissioner Ginn advised that the UAC meeting was held last Thursday to <br />consider the proposed sludge agreement from Indiantown Company, Inc. (See Minutes of <br />4/2/02, Item 7.K.) She reported that the proposed agreement was given a unanimous turn <br />down by the committee. The UAC also voted unanimously not to accept any more out -of - <br />county sludge and to cap the sludge at its present tonnage. Camp Dresser & McKee prepared <br />an extensive report concerning sludge. She cited some of the statistics from that report, <br />specified difficulties in processing, noted problems with odor control, and emphasized the <br />importance of not "squandering" the remaining capacity of our Landfill. She wished to <br />bring the matter back with a full report at the next Board meeting along with all backup <br />available. <br />In response to Commissioner Adams, Commissioner Ginn explained that processing <br />out -of -county sludge has not proven cost-effective, and Commissioner Adams understood <br />that the preference would be to find an alternative destination for the sludge, rather than <br />having it go into the Landfill. <br />Commissioner Ginn advised that CDM's report had covered that. She cautioned that <br />for the County to undertake either incineration or pelletization would be extremely costly <br />April 9, 2002 <br />
