I <br /> <br />Detailed Scope of Work <br />Phase 1 <br />Page 2 <br /> <br /> Waste Stream Composition Studies <br /> <br /> Composition of the waste stream is important in alternatives <br /> involving resource recovery and to a much lesser degree landfill. To <br /> characterize th~ waste stream, selected vehicle loads will be <br /> inspected to determine compositions during the landfill monitoring <br /> period. An estimate, based on these observations, of the beat <br /> content (BTUts/lb.) and moisture content of the waste will be made. <br /> <br /> Projections <br /> <br /> Once the existing waste stream has been identified, projections can <br /> be made for a 20-year period based on population, employment and <br /> labor statistics. Solid waste quantities will be categorized in <br /> ter~s of household, co~ercial, industrial, and institutional. <br /> <br /> Task Output <br /> <br /> The quantity and composition of solid waste anticipated throughout <br /> the study period of 20 years determines the baseline requirements for <br /> the resource recovery facility as well as total volumes for sanitary <br /> landfill. The quantities for interim disposal, bulky waste volumes, <br /> as well as daily, weekly, monthly and seasonal variations would also <br /> be available. <br /> <br /> The existing landfill disposal sites viii be analyzed for adequacy of <br /> current usage and the projected life for each landfill based on the <br /> current waste shed. Each landfill will be analyzed for potential use <br /> as a residue disposal site as well as bypassed HS~ for a resource <br /> recovery facility. <br /> <br />Task B: Energy/Materials Market Survey/Agreements <br /> Identification of Harkets <br /> <br /> Identify potential energy customers of the resource recovery system, <br /> and estimate the quantities each might purchase in order to determine <br /> the overall feasibility of the proposed facility(ies). <br /> <br /> Contact potential customers for the purpose of determining their <br /> energy costs and usage; review historical ~onthly energy <br /> requirements; identify the present cost of energy; review the <br /> economic aspects of the proposed site of the energy recovery system <br /> as they relate to the location of both the energy customer and the <br /> sources of waste generation. <br /> <br /> <br />
