A second liner system is installed below the secondary
collection system. This system provides further protection of
ground water against the potential leakage of leachate
allowed through the primary liner. If you assume the same
operating efficiency in the secondary liner as the primary liner
(approximately 98 percent) the amount of drainage through
the secondary system could be projected to approximately 60
gals. Per day for a 150 acre site. As a comparison, a typical
septic system for a family of 4 generates 400 gals. per day of
untreated waste directly into the environment. Large farms
generate much greater quantities of pollution, which affect
ground water quality.
Waste Types and Leachate
Solid Waste Management Facilities are permitted for acceptance of
only non-hazardous waste materials. In the past, before Resource
Conservation and Recovery Act, facility waste was not monitored or
controlled. Operational waste control plans for a modern solid waste
management facility include:
Waste Sampling and Analysis Plan - Including testing and
analysis
programs for materials delivered to the site.
Waste Inspection - All facility operations personnel are
trained in waste identification and handling.
On-Site DEC inspection -- An on-site DEC representative
will be inspecting all aspects of the facility including the
types and quantities of waste delivered. Some
communities have the facility budget a Town inspector to
verify waste handling procedures.
Inventory and Reporting - All waste delivered to the facility
must be inventoried and the generators and haulers
reported to the NYSDEC.
Leachate generated by a typical SWMF is sent to a local
wastewater treatment facility. The strength of this liquid
(measured by the types and concentrations of contaminants) is
reported to the NYSDEC and the Sewer Treatment Plants.
Data from lined facilities show the liquids to consist of "weak"
concentrations (Attachment 1, available from Town Supervisors
Office), acceptable at most Sewer Treatment Plants and of
lower toxicity than the liquid currently being processed.
Older sites that accepted many types of hazardous waste
created stronger leachate. The new regulations require
generators of hazardous waste to track all their waste directly to
the final disposition, ensuring these waste materials are not
sent to sanitary landfills.
This facility will accept only municipal solid waste; NO
HAZARDOUS, MEDICAL, or RADIOACTIVE materials will be accepted.
New York State Department of Environmental Conservation will assign an
inspector to the facility to perform daily inspections and review operational
procedures.
Financial Security
Our facility is required, by DEC, to establish a closure and post
closure account insuring future financial capability to perform as
required. Financial instruments (trust accounts) must be in
place prior to the delivery of any solid waste. A long term care
and closure plan for the facility is prepared and submitted to NYSDEC. Upon review, NYSDEC calculates the
amount necessary to meet the future operational requirements. The
amount is then insured and dedicated for facility operations
should the operator fail to perform the required closure and
post-closure duties. Thus guaranteeing the State or Local
governments will not have a future financial liability for the site.
Regulatory Framework
The facility will be permitted, constructed and operated in accordance
with
NYS Part 360 and EPA Subtitle D. All New York State Environmental
Quality Review Act procedures must be adhered to. The
environmental
laws cover all aspects of the facility including:
- Liner Design and Construction
- Financial Surety
- Closure and Post Closure Activities
- Waste Approval and Control
- Operational Activities
- Protection of Public Health and The Environment
A comprehensive facility design and impact analysis will be prepared
to address the legal permitting requirements for the facility. The design
will incorporate state of the art landfill and liner construction
requirements. Cell locations will be confirmed through additional
testing and analysis. A long-term environmental monitoring program
will be established to insure the facility is operated in accordance with
state and federal requirements.
The facility construction and operation will be monitored by the
NYSDEC on a routine basis. On-site DEC representatives will be
observing daily operational activities including waste acceptance and
placement.
3.0 The Host Community Partner
The host community plays and important role in the permitting and
development of a SWMF. Many successful agreements have been
reached with communities who see the facilities as an opportunity to
gain additional services, as well as strengthening and protecting the
local economy.
On a benefit verses risk scale, a SWMF can provide significantly
greater benefits to a community, relative to the impact, than other
types of developments. This is due to the large benefit packages
provided and the relatively small land area and low utilization of the
local infrastructure.
Many industries are paid to enter a community. Usually this
is accomplished through deferred tax plans, and low interest
government guaranteed loans. If a manufacturing plant
locates in a community and creates 100 jobs, the local
government would probably be bidding against other
communities to host the facility. Low tax rates and "reverse"
host agreements have enticed companies to move to the
southeastern states.
Pollution exists with manufacturing facilities. Land is affected by the
construction of buildings, roads and parking areas. The community is
then required to help "foot the bill." Vehicle traffic increases
dramatically from the receiving of raw materials, shipping of finished
products and workers going to and from work. SWMFs have been
falsely publicized as being "bad." Focusing on this perception, the host
community can realize substantial gains for hosting a SWMF. Our
proposed project does not require financial support or tax relief from
the host community.
The Host Benefit Package
Various types of host benefit packages exist today. Many of the
agreements include provisions for royalties, services and other
benefits to the communities. Copies of various agreements were
obtained from several facilities across New York State. The following
agreements were structured during the last five years and provide a
basis for comparison.
Copies of the Host Community agreements are available for
inspection and excerpts from these agreements have been
included as Attachment 3. These agreements were obtained
from the host communities, and are public record. The total
amount of funds provided to each of the communities varies
depending upon the amount of effected infrastructure and
tonnage accepted by the SWMF.
How Can These Funds be Used?
Should the Town choose to enter into a host agreement we
may suggest certain uses of funds to enhance the economic
opportunities and quality of life for the residents? Some
examples of the different ways a host community may utilize
the benefits offered are:
- Educational Purposes (Scholarships, Trade
Schools, Academic Services)
- Senior Citizen Centers, Youth and Adult Facilities
- Tax Reductions
- Infrastructure to Enhance Desired Development
(Roads, Sewer, Water and Power)
- Environmental Improvement of Existing Liabilities
- Town Service Improvements Support of Capital
Projects
A properly managed Host Community Benefit package can
assure long term community enhancements exceeding the
life of the project. It will be up to the residents to develop a
spending plan to meet their long-term community goals.
Other Project Benefits
This project will enhance the quality of life for the residents of
the Town. A short-term benefit may include utilization of
manure waste to enhance waste decomposition and increase
gas generation at the facility. Animal waste (manure) and its
impacts are currently under scrutiny from the EPA.
Acceptance of this waste at the SWMF will eliminate a
liability to the local farmers and create an income.
A long-term gain to the community includes access to low
cost electrical power generated from the SWMF methane
gas. Gas, generated by the waste, will power Caterpillar
engines operating electric generators. This method yields,
low cost, electrical power. Electricity can then be made
available as an incentive for new business to enter the
community, or aid the expansion of established operations.
The electricity may also be sold to the local utility as part of
the guaranteed buy back program.
4.0 Positive Economic Impacts
Employment Opportunities
The facility will require 50 to 80 permanent employees, and provide 40
to 60 seasonal construction positions. Full time positions include
management, engineering, office support, equipment operators,
mechanics and maintenance workers needed by the facility. Seasonal
positions will also be available. These are necessary for the ongoing
construction of new cells, closure activities, installation of gas
collection systems, and electrical generation facility functions. All
positions will be offered to qualified Town residents on a preferential
basis.
Use of Local Vendors and Services
Facility operations will require many services such as welding,
cleaning, fuel, housing, tires, office supplies, etc.
Advantage to Other Industries
New industry will be able to take advantage of the available waste
disposal capacity thereby reducing their liability and costs.
Additionally, electrical energy will be available at attractive rates to
existing companies and those wanting to enter the area.
Electrical Generation, Town Rural Electric Co-op
The electrical power generated by the facility will be made available to
the Town for the possible creation of a Rural Electric Cooperative. This
could reduce or eliminate local household electrical costs.
Citizens Action Committee (CAC) could be created to establish a
method for communicating the concerns from the community. The
committee will present the issues voiced by the residents for
incorporation into the facility design and permitting process. Qther
facilities have sponsored similar committees to help in assuring, follow
through on facility issues and improve dissemination of information.

the total property and the actual area of SWMF site. The most likely
configuration is 50% or less of the total property as cell, with the
remainder used as buffer and a managed wildlife area.
5.0 Currently Identified Issues
Table 2
Identified Issues
- Traffic and Effects on Farming Operations
- Effects on Recreation Facility and Visual Impact,
- Seagulls (Vectors)
- Effect on Farming Operations (Traffic)
- Pollution, Traffic, Visual Impacts, Odor, Vectors
- Property Values
- Long-Term and End Use
We hope to have input from members of the community. This will enable further
identification of the issues. These discussions will also help to inform residents to
the real consequences of this project. The most likely potential facility impacts are
described and the associated mitigative measures explained below.
Traffic
The primary issue will be, for residents contiguous to the approach route selected,
the increased truck traffic. This facility will have rail access thereby drastically
decreasing additional truck traffic. Additionally roads must be maintained in accordance
with their use These costs will be addressed by the facility either through Bonding, actual
upgrading and maintenance of the road, or the most likely purchase of land and construction
of a private road. We will have a traffic engineer evaluate the impact of increased traffic.
When completed the evaluation will be available for review by interested parties. Additional
studies, options regarding traffic and road conditions will be presented based upon the
evaluation.
Vector control
Vector control, specifically seagulls, has been reviewed. Several sites use
pyrotechnics, carbide cannons, and permitted elimination to control seagulls at the
working face. Similar methods will be employed at the proposed facility. In addition,
it has been noted that the seagulls do not utilize other bodies of water in the vicinity of
the site. They stay at uncontrolled sites from sun up to sun down and spend the evenings in
areas removed from their feeding site. Attachment 5 shows photographs of the working face of
Rodman facility, where vector control is in effect.
Odor Control
Odor will be present at the facility during the initial operational stages of the
facility, until the active gas collection and electrical generation systems take effect.
Typically, odors generate during specific meteorological conditions (approximately 5 times
a year). The proposed site is in dairy farm area where most residents are familiar with the
odors generated by the herds. This facility will not generate odors as disturbing as manure
repository areas. The odor from the facility will be eliminated after the first 3 to 5 years
as the active gas collection system reaches full operational capacity.
Long Term Issues
Questions from some of the local residents relate to the long-term issues of the
facility. The size and life of the facility proposed would be approximately 40-50 years.
Gas generation will continue to be a source of fuel for electrical generation approximately
20 to 30 years after the end of operations, providing an electrical generation life of over
70 years. In addition, the NYSDEC requires the facility owner to maintain and monitor the
facility for a minimum of 30 years past closure (i.e., post-closure).
When the facility is closed~ guaranteed funds are available to continue the necessary
monitoring. The moneys will be used to monitor the site, perform final cover maintenance
and inspection, and access control. These are the funds identified in the section addressing
Financial Security. Closed sites have been graded for recreational use as ski slopes,
snow mobile trails, and golf courses.
Leachate generation of a closed facility is significantly reduced. A landfill closed
in accordance with the NYSDEC regulations will have a reduced leachate generation rate by
over 90%.
Property Value
A significant issue is the view that property values decrease when a facility of this
type is established in a community, or that everyone wants to move out. Included in this
package are photographs (Attachment 5) of new housing developments within a mile of one
facility and three miles from another.
Nonetheless, the operators of the owners of the facility will insure affected property
owners of continued current property values. A definition and appraisal of current property
and a contractual process to garentee saleability of properties in the area will accomplish
this. The process will include, but not be limited to:
- Appraisal Process
- Listing of Properties
- Sale of Properties
- Compensation from the facility
Other Host Communities have working models of formulas and procedures to perform this task.
6.0 Draft Proposal To The Town of Brant
The following is an outline draft proposal, including many of the elements from agreements
used at other facilities. Should the Town entertain our project, your Town Board may be
responsible for negotiating specific amounts and services.
Elements of the Draft Host Community Agreement
- Per Ton Royalty To the Town $2.25 - $ 3.25 per ton.
- Free Collection and Disposal for the Town.
- Recycling for the Town.
- Residents of the Town will receive preferential hiring status.
- Access to Electrical Power (For the Town Residents, Agri Businesses
and/or Future Economic and Industrial Development).
The benefits available for the Town (Village of Farnham included) include:
- Per Ton Royalty To the Town
- Free Disposal For the Town Brant
- Recycling for the Town
- Access to Electrical Power
- 70 well paying positions
7.0 Synopsis
The proposal presented provides information regarding an opportunity for development
and economic growth to the area. A site properly permitted, designed and operated in
accordance with New York State Part 360 facility requirements, is an environmentally
sound and safe manner to dispose of solid waste. A significant opportunity exists for
the community to participate as a host community for Solid Waste Management Facility.
We believe the project will be accepted by openly discussing the project and it's
relative impact with the constituency. This document has been created to help in that
effort. Education, information and dialog with local residents are critical for providing
the facts necessary to make an informed decision effecting the future of the area.
The positive economic impact to the community is:
1. Royalty income @ 80% of capacity....$4,200,000.00
2.70 full time positions @ $40,000.00....$2,800,000.00
3.40 part time positions @ 30,000.00....$1,200,000.00
4. Reduced electric costs approx.....$720,000.00
$40 per month 1500 households.
5. Waste Disposal $30 per month per house....$540,000.00
The Total per year estimated income and savings to the Town.
$8,440,000.00
Questions and Answers
What is a landfill and how would it affect my town?
How do we know if the groundwater stays clean?
Ans. Monitoring and testing of wells surrounding the site are performed.
Monitoring wells are installed on and off site to detect any leakage.
Don't all liners leak?
Ans. No, Liners are designed with multiple layers of collection and monitoring points
which eliminate the potential for any leakage beyond an imperceptible amount. Many studies
on have been performed on liners systems that have demonstrated their effectiveness. There
has not been a reported failure of a non-invasive double composite liner system to date.
How long do the liners last?
Ans. A study prepared by Hsuan and Koemer indicate that liners have an antioxidant
life of over 200 years. Additionally, the ha/f-life of the physical properties of the
liners is estimated over 750 years. The estimate for the half-life continues to increase
as the test data becomes available. The half-life of the liner does not mean the liner will
fail to perform. The performance of the liner could be many times greater than the half life.
How are landfills built?
Ans. Landfills are constructed using techniques that have evolved over the past ten years.
Liner construction quality control is considered the primary driving force of the construction
practices used. Independent (100%) inspection is performed during every phase of the facility
liner construction.
Won't there be a lot of traffic?
Traffic impacts will be evaluated for each of the proposed locations for the site.
All though the facility has a planned capacity of 5,000 tpd, the actual rate is likely to be
much less. The traffic count for the planned capacity is approximately 100 to 125 trips per
day. Much of the material will arrive via rail.
Will the traffic hurt our roads?
Ans. Any road upgrades and/or additional maintenance costs will be bome by the facility.
Are there other landfills by industrial parks?
Ans. Yes, Penington NY is the closest, which has High Acres Landfill.
What will happen to the value of my home?
Ans. Values of the near by homes will be guaranteed through a property protection plan.
Simply put, the present value without a SWMF is determined when the property owner
decides to sell if they do not receive the value (adjusted for inflation) the facility
would be responsible for the difference.
What happens when the landfill closes?
Ans. The facility must be maintained and monitored for the post-closure period once the
site has been closed. During this period the leach ate generation and rate significantly
reduces.
Who pays for the long-term maintenance of the landfill?
Ans. Prior to opening the facility funding is put into place by the landfill operators.
Isn't landfill water (leachate) toxic?
Ans. Leachate generated by a typical SWMF is sent to a local waste water treatment facility.
The strength of this liquid (measured by the types and concentrations of contaminants) is
reported to the NYSDEC and the Sewer Treatment Plants. Data from lined facilities show the
liquids to consist of "weak" concentrations, acceptable at most Sewer Treatment Plants
and of lower toxicity than the liquid currently being processed.
How will the landfill impact on the wildlife in the area?
Ans. During the preparation of the Environmental Impact Study, the wild life of the
proposed facility will be evaluated. Any impacts to the wild life in the area will be
mitigated either through design modifications or facility design changes.
I remember the dump when I was a kid being full of rats and seagulls,
what are new landfills like?
Ans. Vermin (rats, etc.) can not live in a modem landfill. Waste is compacted until
there is not enough mom or afr for vermin to exist. Various methods are employed to
successfully keep seagulls away from the site, these are many of the same means farmers use.
The seagulls will not stay somewhere they can not land and feed. The closest facility to
employ this successfully is Rodman Landfill near Watertown, NY
How does this project help the Town financially?
Ans. A positive economic impact of approximately $8,440,000.00 per year
Can a landfill be placed over an aquifer?
Ans. A landfill cannot be built on a site if there is an site. The existence of an
aquifer can not be comprehensive hydro-geologic studies are completed.
aquifer under the proposed proved or disproved until comprehensive hydro-geological
studies are completed.
Won't I see the site from every point in the Town?
Ans. A visual impact analysis will be prepared for the proposed facility.
This analysis will be used to evaluate the view shed for the site. Where appropriate,
screening will be design for the site to reduce and/or eliminate the visual impact.
Will there be papers and garbage from loads on the road?
Ans. All waste loads entering the facility must be tarped. Each of the loads are
inspected prior to crossing the scale to ensure they meet delivery criteria.
Personnel from the site will have the specific task of policing the road to the site on a
daily basis.
