170 Mr. Wiseman advised that three potential sites adjacent to the existing landf~ill are now being evaluated by the County for expansion and that operation of the new landfill is scheduled to begin on September 1, 1996. The Board discussed composting and the need to explore the possibility of a composting facility along with the expansion plans for the landfill. ~r. Wiseman cautioned that there have been some failures in composting operations throughout the country and pointed out that the County will still need a landftll for those items that cannot be composted or recycled. Dr. Pilkington estimated the cost for a facility to compost 200 tons per day at $18 to $20 million. He stated that flow control authority and the use of general fund revenues, along with the tipping/user fees, will be necessary to operate a successful facility and maintain competitive rates. The Board by general consensus asked that the composting study be completed by the second meeting in August. Also, Chairman- Barnhart asked Dr. Pilkington to keep Board members informed regarding the status of pending flow control legislation. There was brief discussion regarding the poor participation in the County's recycling program. Dr. Pilkington reported that efforts will continue to improve the current 25 to 30 percent participation rate.
