Introduction At its meeting of August 18, 2011, the Resource Recovery Board directed staff to provide descriptions, locations, existing and permitted uses (including land use), zoning, and special exceptions, for all the properties in the Resource Recovery System. This report is intended to fulfill that directive.

According to the Interlocal Agreement governing the Broward Solid Waste Disposal District, the Resource Recovery System is defined as follows [Section 2.17]:

The term “resource recovery system” shall mean the facilities which are constructed, operated, maintained and repaired or caused to be constructed, operated, maintained and repaired pursuant to this Agreement for the purpose of transfer or disposal of solid waste of the CONTRACT COMMUNITIES and the unincorporated County and the recovery and sale of materials and energy, therefrom, including all landfills, contingency landfills, transfer stations, treatment facilities and electrical generation facilities all attendant to the resource recovery system. Excluded from this definition is the COUNTY landfill located in the Town of Davie which is in existence as of the date of the execution of this Agreement.

In addition, the Interlocal Agreement defines Transfer Stations as follows [Section 2.23]:

The term “transfer stations” means the sites and receiving facilities constructed, operated, maintained and repaired by the COUNTY or a full service contractor retained by the COUNTY for the acceptance of solid waste for transfer to resource recovery system disposal facilities because a part of the resource recovery system is not operational. Other transfer facilities and those used by haulers for reasons other than previously described shall not be considered a part of the resource recovery system.

Based on the above, staff has determined that the following properties are included in the Resource Recovery System:

• North Resource Recovery Plant (private) • South Resource Recovery Plant and Ash Monofill • Southwest Regional Landfill • Materials Recovery Facility (MRF) (private)

In addition, the following vacant properties are a potential part of the Resource Recovery System:

• Alpha 250 North • Alpha 250 South

Resource Recovery System Wetland Mitigation Sites The Resource Recovery System includes six wetland mitigation sites, comprising 319 acres of wetlands. These sites were created and/or enhanced to offset the impacts resulting from the construction of the South Waste-to-Energy Plant and the adjacent Ash Monofill, and from the Southwest Regional Landfill. All sites are owned by Broward County. Maintenance activities, funded by the Broward Solid Waste Disposal District, are conducted to remove exotic and invasive species in order to maintain high-quality wetland habitats. Site Size Location

Riverine Wetlands Site 12 acres South and east of South Waste-to-Energy Plant

Ash Monofill Wetlands Site 14 acres East of Ash Monofill

Hacienda Flores Wetlands Site 16 acres North of S.R. 84, east of U.S. 441
