| Abstract |
The GRADD Solid Waste Project sees two management possibilities for the seven-county region. Each county could elect to 'go it alone' with individual rural collection systems. The other alternative provides joint operation across the region. The individual operations will provide many local controls. The regional system should be more efficient and cost-effective. A key element in this plan is compatibility. Each collection system should specify the same type of collection equipment (front-end loaders). This will allow the development of joint service by stages in 'building-block' fashion. Compatible collection equipment allows neighboring governments to share equipment in the event of breakdowns. Resource recovery is a major element in plan design. The population base is not adequate to support intensive resource recovery from residential waste at the present time. The plan also provides for reclamation of selected abandoned strip mines. Land is valuable resource. Use of refuse to return this wasted land to use for agriculture or recreation is a valuable form of resource recovery. Concentrating the waste in three regional landfills allows an easy shift to more intensive resource recovery should market conditions change. There is the possibility of establishment of a plant to recover metals from waste and burn the remainder to generate electric power. Landfills could easily become transfer stations moving the waste to the processing plant. |
