r <br /> r <br /> Geosyntec Consultants <br /> Mixed C&D loads arriving at the landfill site for disposal are weighed at the scale house for <br /> r both gross and tare values in order to determine the disposal fee amount. The loads are also <br /> inspected at the scale house by an overhead camera for the presence of prohibited material . <br /> Contaminated loads are directed to the working face of the Class I landfill for disposal . <br /> r Acceptable loads are directed to the working face of the C&D disposal facility where FDEP <br /> trained spotters verify the absence of prohibited materials . If a load is determined to be <br /> unacceptable, it is reloaded onto the truck and directed to the Class I landfill area for final <br /> disposal . Acceptable loads are spread and compacted on the working face of the C&D landfill <br /> in compliance with FDEP operation requirements as specified in the permit. <br /> r <br /> Most C&D debris processing facilities in Florida are privately owned and operated . They <br /> derive their revenues from disposal fees assessed on incoming loads and revenues derived from <br /> the sale of recovered materials. Such facilities usually compete with local landfills for <br /> available C&D debris loads by charging disposal fees slightly below the landfills rates. Because <br /> disposal fees represent a significant share of their operating income, these facilities are usually <br /> located in or near counties with high C&D debris landfill disposal charges. Because of the <br /> relatively high disposal fee charged by the SWDD for landfilling C&D debris, the economics <br /> of a competing MRF at Indian River County is highly favorable. The SWDD has been <br /> contacted on numerous occasions by private entities regarding the feasibility of establishing a <br /> C&D recycling operation within Indian River County. In the event that such a facility <br /> commences operation at or near Indian River County, the quantity of C&D debris available for <br /> landfill disposal would be a factor that could make a separate disposal operation economically <br /> unattractive. <br /> r <br /> r <br /> it <br /> r <br /> FL0996-03/JL70184 d <br /> 08- 10-2007_doc. cx <br /> r — 3-; 2007-08- 10 <br />
