Subject: Proposal to Provide Design and Permitting Services
Class I Landfill Expansion � GoZEZf CO
Indian River County Landfill Facility
Vero Beach, Indian River County, Florida
Dear Ms . Kratman:
GeoSyntec Consultants (GeoSyntec) is pleased to submit this letter proposal to the
Indian River County (IRC) Solid Waste Disposal District (SWDD) for the provision of
professional services supporting the permitting of a Class I landfill expansion at the IRC
Landfill (IRCL) facility located in Vero Beach, Indian River County, Florida. The
proposal presents the scope of work, schedule, and budget estimate for the design and
permitting services for the Class I landfill expansion. The proposal was prepared in
response to a verbal request from the SWDD during an 18 April 2006 meeting at the IRCL
site with Ms . Polly Kratman of SWDD and Dr. Kwasi Badu-Tweneboah, P . E . of
GeoSyntec.
The remainder of this proposal presents : (i) project background; (ii) proposed scope
of work; (iii) schedule; and, (iv) budget estimate.
PROJECT BACKGROUND
The IRCL is located south of Oslo Road, west of Range Line Road (74`h Avenue) and
east of Interstate 95 in Section 25, Township 33 South, Range 38 East in Indian River
County, Florida. The IRCL facility is currently operating as a Class I landfill and
Construction and Demolition (C&D) debris disposal facility under the Florida Department
of Environmental Protection (FDEP) Operations Permit Numbers S031 -0128769-008 and
S031 -0128769-009. The overall IRCL site occupies 276 acres, with 63 acres used for
XL06096UL60070.doc
Ms. Polly Kratman GeoSyntec Consultants
Indian River County
10 May 2006
Page 2
Class I disposal and 22 acres used for C&D disposal . Waste materials accepted for the
Class I landfill disposal include residential, commercial, agricultural, and industrial wastes.
The landfill serves the unincorporated Indian River County and municipalities of Vero
Beach, Orchid, Fellsmere, Sebastian, Indian River Shores, and Wabasso, Florida.
The SWDD intends to permit and construct new Class I landfill and C &D disposal
facility expansions within the 276-acre permitted facility. The new Class I landfill and
C&D disposal facility expansions will be located east of the existing Class I landfill and
stormwater management system, and west of the existing C&D disposal facility. It is
understood that the exact footprint of the new Class I landfill is being evaluated by one of
SWDD ' s other consultants (Camp Dresser & McKee, Inc . (CDM)); however, the landfill
would cover an area of approximately 50 acres . It is also understood that the Class I
landfill will be located on the southern part of the proposed expansion area, with the
landfill being bordered by the existing stormwater pond to the west, C-6 Canal to the
south, existing C&D disposal facility to the east, and the new C&D disposal facility to the
north. Figure 1 shows the layout of the proposed Class I landfill expansion.
PROPOSED SCOPE OF WORK
The proposed scope of work includes activities to be performed on behalf of SWDD
for the design and permitting services for the new Class I landfill expansion. The scope of
work is based on the requirements of Chapter 62 -701 of the Florida Administrative Code
(FAC). GeoSyntec will provide the engineering services necessary to complete the permit
application and address any comments or requests for additional information from FDEP
for issuance of the permit for the landfill expansion. For the purpose of budgeting, the
scope of work has been divided into the following five main tasks :
• Task 1 — General Consulting/Meeting Support/Project Management;
• Task 2 — Hydrogeological/ Geotechnical Investigations;
• Task 3 — Design and Permit Application;
• Task 4 — Environmental Resource Permit (ERP) Modification; and
• Task 5 — Response to Regulatory Comments.

The remainder of this section presents a general description of the activities to be
performed in each task.
Task 1 — General Consulting/Meeting Support/ Project Management
Task 1 consists of three components : general consulting, meeting support, and project
management. GeoSyntec will provide SWDD with consulting services necessary to
initiate the project and attend pre-application and in-progress design review meetings with
SWDD and the FDEP Central District Office. GeoSyntec will prepare presentation
graphics, engineering drawings, and other documents required to support the meetings and
project coordination activities .
A kickoff meeting with SWDD is proposed before the start of project activities so that
the specific project requirements can be discussed. If requested by SWDD, GeoSyntec
will prepare for and attend a meeting with the SWDD Board to explain the project scope
and budget requirements, or to provide general technical assistance. In addition, three
review meetings will be held with SWDD at the : completion of the proposed field
investigations, and at the 50 percent and 90 percent completion of the design. GeoSyntec
will also meet with the solid waste and environmental resources permitting (ERP) sections
of FDEP to discuss specific permitting issues and obtain concept "buy-in" prior to
submittal of the permit applications. Following each meeting, GeoSyntec will prepare
meeting minutes that document decisions reached in the meetings .
Project management activities will include: budget and schedule tracking; invoice
review; and project communications, including the preparation of a monthly progress
report. The project report will include a description of the activities completed during the
month and planned activities for the following month. In addition, the progress report will
identify any technical or administrative issues that require the SWDD ' s attention and the
current status of the budget and schedule.
For the purpose of this budget estimate, GeoSyntec has included eight meetings : (i)
one kickoff meeting with SWDD; (ii ) three in-progress design review meetings with
SWDD ; (iii) three meetings with FDEP and SWDD staff, and (iv) one meeting with the
SWDD Board, if requested by SWDD .

Task 2: Hvdrogeologieal and Geotechnical Site Investigations
A detailed site investigation will be performed in accordance with Rule 62-701 .410,
FAC to establish geotechnical, geological and hydrogeological characteristics of the
proposed Class I landfill expansion. The purpose of the investigation is to obtain the site-
specific data necessary to address the elements of Rule 62- 701 .410, FAC, and also to
support the design, permitting and groundwater monitoring requirements for the proposed
Class I landfill expansion. The proposed scope of work for Task 2 will have a phased
approach, and has therefore been divided into five subtasks to facilitate project
management and allow effective control of the proposed budget and schedule. These
subtasks are as follows :
• Subtask 2 . 1 — Surveying and Mapping;
• Subtask 2 .2 — Development of the Site Investigation Work Plan ;
• Subtask 2. 3 — Hydrogeological and Geotechnical Site Investigations;
• Subtask 2 .4 — Data Evaluation and Interpretation; and
• Subtask 2 . 5 — Hydrogeological/Geotechnical Investigation Report.
The scope of work for each subtask is outlined below.
Subtask 2.1 — Surveying and Mapping
A detailed topographic map of the site will be developed for use in the design of the
landfill expansion and preparing the permit application . The topographic map will be
developed from aerial photography and photogrammetry with limited ground control. The
topographic map will be developed using the Florida State Plane Coordinate System, North
American Datum of 1983 (NAD83) and the National Geodetic Vertical Datum of 1929
(NGVD29) . The topographic map will be prepared at a scale not greater than 1 inch — 200
feet with 2-foot contour intervals to meet the requirements of Rule 62-701 . 330(3)(d), FAC .
GeoSyntec will procure the services of a Florida licensed surveyor to produce the
aerial photography and topographic map required for the design and permitting of the
Class I landfill expansion. It is assumed that SWDD will provide a property boundary
survey and legal description suitable for the permit application.

Subtask 2.2 — Development of Site Investigation Work Plan
GeoSyntec will review previous geologic, hydrogeological and geotechnical
investigation reports and documents completed as part of the permitting and operation of
the IRCL facility as well as previous regional hydrogeologic and geologic investigations
conducted by the U. S . Geological Survey (USGS), Florida Geological Survey (FGS), and
universities. GeoSyntec will review the available data to prepare a site investigation work
plan to obtain the supplemental hydrogeological and geotechnical data required for the
design and permitting of the Class I landfill expansion to comply with the requirements of
Rule 62-710 .410, FAC .
The Site Investigation Work Plan will consist of the following items :
• Planning and preparing for the site hydrogeological and geotechnical
investigations, including:
o Reviewing existing hydrogeological and geotechnical information to refine
the extent of the field work proposed herein; and
o Developing and finalizing the proposed investigation work plan
(drilling/sampling methods, boring locations, piezometer and monitoring
well installations, sampling and analytical testing, hydrogeological testing,
geotechnical laboratory testing, and location surveying) including review
and comments by SWDD.
• Procurement of drilling subcontractor.
• Implementation of the Proposed Site Investigation Program.
• Preparation of the Hydrogeological and Geotechnical Investigations Report to
comply with the requirements of Rule 62-710 .410, FAC.
A copy of the Work Plan will be submitted to the FDEP Central District Office in
Orlando, Florida for information purposes only. GeoSyntec will schedule a meeting with
FDEP to review the Work Plan, as part of the pre-application process, and will address
their comments prior to proceeding with the next phase of Task 2.

Subtask 2.3 — Hydrogeological and Geotechnical Site Investigations
GeoSyntec will proceed immediately with the field investigation following the review
and approval of the Work Plan by SWDD, and discussion of the Work Plan with FDEP.
A preliminary review of the available project documents indicates that several borings
have been completed at the IRCL facility. Additionally, lithologic information and
monitoring well data are available from the network of groundwater monitoring wells
installed at the site for the existing Class I landfill and C&D disposal facility. The
locations of the groundwater monitoring wells are shown on Figure 2 and will be utilized
to reduce the number of borings and piezometers/monitoring wells required to characterize
the hydrogeologic properties of the expansion areas . It is also understood from SWDD
that there are plans of installing a monitoring well cluster as part of the design and
permitting of the C&D disposal facility. Data and information from this well cluster
would be useful for the Class 1 landfill expansion. Based on the above information, the
proposed field investigation program includes the following:
• Providing a qualified hydrogeologist or geotechnical engineer on-site during the
field investigations to locate the planned drilling locations and to supervise the
work (log boreholes, collect samples, perform hydrogeologic tests, oversee
grouting, etc.);
• Drilling of five (5) shallow geotechnical soil borings within and along the
perimeter of the proposed expansion footprint to define the subsurface soils at the
site;
• Installation of two (2) sets of piezometers/monitoring well clusters in the shallow
soil borings to monitor the groundwater zone occurring within the Surficial Aquifer
System (SAS);
• Drilling of two (2) deep borings (one geotechnical SPT boring and one Rotosonic®
boring) to delineate the depths and thicknesses of the lithology relative to the
regional hydrogeology within the proposed landfill expansion area;
• Installation of one ( 1 ) deep piezometer in the Rotosonic® boring to monitor the
groundwater zone within the lower permeable zones at the site;

• Geotechnical laboratory analyses ;
• Hydrogeological testing;
• Field surveying; and
• Preparation of a public and private water well survey.
Each of these components is discussed below.
Shallow Soil Borings: Five shallow soil borings will be drilled at the site using the hollow-
stem auger (HSA) drilling technique at the locations shown in Figure 3 . Soil sampling and
standard penetration tests (SPTs) will be performed using split-spoon sampling procedures
(American Society of Testing and Materials (ASTM) D 1586) during drilling of the soil
borings. Sampling will be performed at 2 . 5 ft intervals of depth and/or at changes in
stratigraphy. Thin-walled, Shelby-tube samples will be taken within cohesive soils from
four of the borings for evaluation of geotechnical properties of the foundation soils.
Deep Borings: One geotechnical deep soil boring (SPT-3) will be drilled to a depth of
approximately 90 ft below land surface (BLS) at the location shown on Figure 3 . The
purpose of this deep boring is to obtain subsurface data for the geotechnical stability
analyses required for the landfill expansion . This boring will be completed using the HSA
drilling technique and SPT sampling procedures. The other deep boring (RB- 1 ) will be
completed using the Rotosonic® drilling techniques to a depth of approximately 50 ft BLS .
The primary purpose of this deep boring is to obtain a continuous profile of soil-rock
samples to verify the lithologic-geologic model of subsurface materials at the site. A
preliminary review of the lithologic information available from previous hydrogeologic
and geotechnical investigations at the site indicated some variability and inconsistency of
the site stratigraphy. Soil borings completed by Universal Engineering Testing Company
in 1987 as part of the existing Class I landfill permit application indicated that the
subsurface materials to depths of approximately 100 ft BLS were comprised of sands,
shelly-sands, silts, with traces of clay within the upper portions of the geologic formation.
However, documentation from the network of ground water monitoring wells at the site by
CDM indicates significant variations in subsurface profile with a widespread vertically
persistent clay layer and a weathered limestone bed in the geologic cross sections.

Piezometer Installation: Piezometers will be installed in four of the shallow borings and
the Rotosonic® deep boring to define the groundwater conditions at the site. The shallow
piezometers will be installed as clusters to monitor the groundwater conditions within the
upper and intermediate zones of the shallow aquifer system. The piezometer clusters are
proposed at locations around the perimeter of the expansion areas to allow for use as
groundwater monitoring points after the landfill expansion areas are in operation. The
Rotosonic® boring will be converted to a deep piezometer to assist in evaluating the head
difference between the upper and lower permeable zones . The piezometer clusters (four
total) will be sampled for laboratory analysis. Groundwater samples from the piezometers
will be analyzed for the parameters specified in Rule 62-701 . 510(6)(b), FAC (Initial
Background Ground Water Quality) plus sulfate, aluminum, and phenols in accordance
with Rule 62-701 .730(4)(a)5, FAC .
Geotechnical Laboratory Analyses: Laboratory analyses of the soil samples collected
during the field investigation program will be conducted at a qualified geotechnical testing
laboratory. Standard geotechnical laboratory procedures will be used to evaluate the index,
strength, compressibility, and hydraulic properties of the soils for the design of the landfill
expansion .
Hydrogeological Testing: Upon completion of installation and development of the
piezometers, groundwater level measurements will be collected from the newly installed
piezometers, and existing piezometers/monitoring wells . This information will be utilized
to evaluate aquifer types at the site and groundwater flow direction.
Field Surveying: Surveying services will be required to identify the locations and
elevations (horizontal and vertical control) of the test borings and piezometers. The survey
information will be referenced using the Florida State Plane Coordinate System (NAD83)
and the National Geodetic Vertical Datum of 1929 (NGVD29).
Public and Private Wells Survey: GeoSyntec will conduct a survey of all public and
private water supply wells within one-mile radius of the proposed expansion area [Rule 62-
701 .410( 1 )(b), FAC] by searching the available databases and contacting the appropriate
agencies. Also, a survey of all potable wells within 500 feet of the waste disposal area,
and locations of all wells serving community water supplies within 1 ,000 feet of the
proposed expansion footprint [Rule 62-701 .410(1 )(d), FAC] will be conducted . Well logs
and information on the average yield of these wells (if available) will be collected and

included in the Hydrogeological and Geotechnical Investigations Report. It is understood
that a well inventory study was recently completed as part of the renewal permit
application for the IRCL facility. GeoSyntec will utilize the available data and information
and will only supplement this with additional data search if necessary.
Subtask 2. 4 — Data Evaluation and Interpretation
Existing site hydrogeological and geotechnical information collected from previous
investigations and data collected during this investigation will be compiled in a relational
electronic data base to facilitate data evaluation. This proposal assumes the historical data
will be available in electronic format. GeoSyntec however understands that some of these
data may not be readily available in electronic format. In those cases, hard copies will be
scanned and/or entered into a database to facilitate data management. A Geographic
Information System (GIS) based analytical approach will be used to analyze and present
the results of the investigations. This allows for ease of data analysis and preparation of
multi-dimensional drawings that can be used in permitting and public presentations.
Subtask 2. 5 — Hydrogeological and Geotechnical Investigation Report
A Hydrogeological and Geotechnical Investigation Report (report) will be prepared to
summarize the results of the field investigation and of the review of the project documents .
The report will address the following hydrogeological investigation requirements of Rule
62-701 .410( 1 )5 FAC :
• a description of the landfill site geology and hydrogeology and its relationship to
the local and regional hydrogeologic patterns;
• an inventory of all public and private water wells within one-mile radius of the
proposed landfill expansion ; and
• a map showing the location of all potable wells within 500 feet of the landfill, and
locations of all wells serving community water supplies within 1 ,000 feet of the
proposed landfill expansion.
The report will also address geotechnical investigation requirements of Rule 62-
710.410(2), FAC, including the following :
XL06096UL60070.doe

• interpretation of the subsurface conditions including soil stratigraphy and ground
water table conditions;
• the potential presence of muck, previously filled areas, soft ground, lineaments, and
sinkholes;
• potential fault areas, seismic impact zones, and unstable areas ;
• estimates of average and maximum high ground water table across the site; and
• foundation analysis to evaluate the ability of the foundation to support the loads
and stresses imposed by the proposed landfill expansion.
This report will be prepared as a component of the permit application as required by
Rule 62-701 . 330(3)(0, FAC . The report will be prepared and certified by a qualified
geologist or engineer registered in the State of Florida.
Task 3 — Desi2n and Permit Application
GeoSyntec will design and prepare the permit application for submittal to FDEP for
the Class I landfill expansion of the IRCL. The design will include the engineering
analyses to demonstrate that the landfill expansion complies with the specific requirements
of Rule 62-701 .400, FAC. The following activities will be performed to design the landfill
expansion and prepare the permit application:
• review existing permit application and other relevant reports and documents;
• prepare conceptual plan for landfill development through end-of-life of the facility
based on the initial site development plan prepared by CDM;
• meet with FDEP to discuss the proposed expansion, including the design and
permitting approach (this will be performed as part of Task 1 );
• prepare detailed phasing plans for the landfill expansion including plans for liner
system, final cover system, and waste fill sequencing;
• evaluate available storage volume and approximate timeline for landfill
development;

• design the leachate management system for the expansion area, including
collection, transmission, and disposal of leachate into the nearby county sewer
system;
• design the top elevation and final cover configuration for the proposed expansion
to meet the disposal capacity needs of IRC ;
• perform hydrologic and hydraulic analysis for extreme rainfall events and design
the surface-water management system for the expansion area, including control
features to separate surface water from leachate during construction and operation
of the expansion area;
• design of relocation of the stonnwater pond control structure;
• perform slope stability (liner system, interim and final configurations, and veneer
stability of the final cover system) and settlement evaluations for the proposed
expansion;
• design the gas control and collection system (GCCS) for the proposed expansion;
• prepare permit drawings (with adequate details for permitting) for the proposed
expansion of the landfill (approximately 40 sheets of D-size, 24 inches by 36
inches) ;
• prepare Technical Specifications and a Construction Quality Assurance (CQA)
Plan for all components of construction for the landfill expansion;
• revise the facility operating plans (Operations Plan, Leachate Management Plan,
Gas Management Plan, Water-Quality Monitoring Plan, and Closure Plan) to
incorporate changes, as needed, from the proposed expansion ;
• prepare financial assurance cost estimate for closure and long-term care of the
proposed expansion; and
• complete the required FDEP form (62-701 .900(1)) and prepare the supporting
plans and engineering reports .

GeoSyntec will prepare the application for a Class I Solid Waste Disposal Facility
(Permit Application) . The Permit Application will include the engineering reports, permit
drawings and operating plans required in accordance with Chapter 62-701 , FAC. The
Permit Application will be signed and sealed by a registered professional engineer in the
State of Florida.
GeoSyntec will provide four complete copies of the Permit Application to FDEP and
two copies to SWDD . An electronic file of the Permit Application will also be provided to
FDEP and SWDD .
Task 4 — ERP Modification
GeoSyntec understands that one of SWDD ' s other consultants has preliminarily
evaluated the adequacy of the existing stormwater management system to handle the
additional stormwater runoff from the proposed Class I landfill and C&D disposal facility
expansions. Under this task, GeoSyntec will analyze the effect of adding the proposed
expansion area on the stormwater management system as currently designed and presented
in the ERP . A modification to the ERP will be required for submittal to FDEP to account
for any increase in the amount or timing of stormwater runoff due to grading changes or
infiltration differences from the expansion final cover system or other changes to the site
drainage systems. The ERP modification will also address the design of the relocation of
the stormwater pond control structure. This task does not include any environmental
considerations (i . e., wetlands, endangered species, etc.) associated with permitting of the
Class I landfill expansion. It has been assumed that wetlands and other environmental
issues have already been addressed as part of previous permitting of the overall 265 -acre
facility.
GeoSyntec proposes to initially meet with FDEP to discuss the proposed Class I
landfill expansion and its impact on the existing stormwater management system . During
this meeting GeoSyntec will confirm from FDEP the permit modification requirements to
the existing ERP . For the purpose of the budget estimate, GeoSyntec has assumed that a
minor modification to the existing ERP will be required. GeoSyntec will provide written
responses to RAIs from FDEP on the ERP modification, if deemed necessary. For the
purpose of the budget estimate, GeoSyntec has assumed that one response to RAI will be
required.

Page 13
Task 5 : Response to ReEulatory Comments
Under this task, GeoSyntec will provide FDEP with written responses to RAIs
throughout the course of the permit review process. GeoSyntec will also meet with FDEP
(if needed) to clarify or discuss any design or permit issues. For the purpose of the budget
estimate, GeoSyntec has assumed two responses to RAI and one meeting with FDEP will
be required.
SCHEDULE
GeoSyntec has prepared a preliminary schedule for preparing the Class I Landfill
Permit Application. GeoSyntec has assumed a start date of 12 June 2006 and projects a
permit application submittal to FDEP in January 2007 . GeoSyntec will meet with SWDD
for a kickoff meeting in mid to late June 2006 and will schedule the first meeting with
FDEP in July 2006. The hydrogeological and geotechnical site investigations will be
performed during the months of July through September 2006 . GeoSyntec will start with
the design and preparation of the permit application in August 2006 and anticipates
submitting a permit application to FDEP by January 2007 .
GeoSyntec has assumed that the permit application will be approved by FDEP within
three to six months of submission. Response to FDEP comments will be performed during
this three- to six-month period. Therefore, it is anticipated that the permit application for
the Class I landfill expansion will be approved by FDEP between April and July 2007 .
However, FDEP may take an additional four months to issue the final permit for the
landfill . This additional period includes the : (i) 30-day notice of intent (NOI) to issue the
permit; and (ii) 90-day period for the final permit to be issued. As such, the final permit
may be issued by October 2007. GeoSyntec is however confident that the required permit
will be issued in sufficient time to facilitate the first phase of construction during the fiscal
year of 2007.
GeoSyntec recognizes the importance of the schedule for SWDD and their need to
obtain the required disposal capacity from the Class I landfill expansion. GeoSyntec will
work with SWDD to refine the project schedule and set the milestones necessary to meet
