Mr. Cormany introduced himself to the committee members and spoke of the importance and need for an updated solid waste plan. Review Scope of Elements (Completion expected by November 2013) History of County Solid Waste Planning – The initial plan was developed in 1973, updated in 1991 and revised in 2003. The County is currently under a DEP consent st order to finish plan by November 1, 2013. Required Plan Content – The plan requires a description of waste to include tons, content, and facilities. Estimated future capacity, recycling programs and public participation will be included. Planning Process – Municipalities will be notified when process begins and be kept informed throughout. Public must be kept informed and be given a chance to comment. SWAC must respond to all comments. Commissioners adopt plan within sixty days of comment period. Anticipated Meeting Topics April 12, 2012 Meeting 2 – Participants will be discussing disposal facilities, transportation, and municipal ordinances. Committee members will be asked what they expect from plan. Recycling idea’s will be sought as County needs to increase the percentage of all trash recycled to 35%. Subcommittees – Key Person Interviews The SWAC will not have any subcommittees. Key Person interviews have not been determined at this time. Other Questions – Issues and Concerns Mr. Cormany briefed committee members on facts and figures regarding where the County is now. This included County population, refuse collected and where it is disposed. Current recycling trends were also discussed by Mr. Cormany who stated that recycling rate for the County is currently at 29% and needs to be 35%. Commissioner Thomas was concerned about meeting the requirement of recycling 35% of trash and stated that an education program would be needed. All SWAC members agreed that an education program was needed. Mr. Cormany stated that all municipalities have to consider how data is being reported. There were concerns that the committee would recommend changes that need to take place and those changes would not be implemented. Commissioner Thomas assured the committee that would not be the case that all members were appointed by the County Commissioners for their expertise on Solid Waste matters and the County takes their input quite seriously. Several other matters were openly discussed by the committee members that included flow-control, sludge disposal, infectious waste, and waste water treatment. Mr. Cormany informed members that these are all matters that will have to be addressed. The meeting adjourned at 7:30 P.M.
