In 2010 ISWM was at a fork in the road.Planning for the future had to start.
Phase I: The Landfill Waste Acquisition Plan
1. Acquire waste at tip fees that
• Generate cash to meet targets
• Maximize airspace value
2. Manage business risks
Phase II: The Long-Term Site Development Plan
1. Manage Town waste after Landfill closes
2. Provide ongoing value for the Town
The Landfill will close. The “site” can be active forever.
{------limited life------} {--forever--}
What did we do?Working Group formed (BOS, BOH,
FC, EAC)
Took care of the landfill model first
10-year ash deal with Covanta
20-year MSW deal with Covanta after landfill closes
What did we do? RFP to lease areas on the 25-acre parcel for
innovative technologies such as:
• Anaerobic digestion
• Gasification (biosolids, wood waste, other source separated wastestreams, MSW to liquids/waxes)
RFP for landfill gas utilization
RFP for leachate management equipment
Possible synergies between projects from all RFPs
Current Status Harvest Power, Inc. submitted an integrated proposal
Vendor financed, constructed and operated
25-year lease of a small area for an AD facility
Vendor to provide SSO, FOG and biosolids
Purchase our LFG and add it to their biogas
Make renewable energy on site, sell fertilizer
Completing negotiations now, est. on-line in 2018
Site lease area
Site lease area
Lessons Learned Start early with all the key stakeholders
Do it inside out; ask the tough questions now
Create a roadmap but be willing to adjust
Get commitments from various boards etc.
Get all the players together at critical intervals
Budget- allow for 2-3 fiscal years
Lessons Learned Think logistics and process, not just strategic goals
Expect obstacles and have support from leadership
Devote time to managing relationships – CRITICAL
Misinformation & misunderstanding will kill a project
Identify assets: land, permits, infrastructure, power/heat users
Identify what vendors need
Vendor’s business plan is now your business plan
Look for ways to help
