p g up at its
February 21, 2014 meeting, The SWAC received updates throughout the landfill Ti Fee ne o i i
p g taton
process by Meridian representatives, Councilman Rountree, Steve Coryand Mollie Man erich as well as
g ,
representatives from Republic Services, All parties weighed-in favorably on the proposal. U on
p
conclusion of its review, SWAC voted to present the proposal to City Council for its consideration.
SUMMARY: The proposed landfill Tip Fee Schedule contains:
• No change to the current rates forthe Cityof Meridian, The City will continue to a for
pY
municipal disposal (via the City's franchised hauler), on avolume-based disposal fee, current)
Y
priced at $11.00/yd3
• Meridian biosolids will continue to be accepted at the landfill on avolume-based dis osal fee
3 p ,
currently priced at $11.00/ yd .
~ • Republic Services' Meridian Transfer Station will continue to provide full services toself-h
aulers,
and Meridian trash will continue~to be consolidated into transfer loads, thereby reducin tri s to
g p
landfill, avoiding additional greenhouse gas emission, increased traffic and wearand tearon
roads,
o Dave Fisher, Republic Services, will workto ensure the Meridian Transfer5tation fee is
equivalent to, or less than, what Meridian self haulers would pay at the landfill and will
communicate any changesthrough the Meridian Solid Waste Advisory Commission.
• Republic Service's Boise TransferStation will redirect all non-compacted loads from Idaho Waste
Systems, to the Ada County landfill. This represents approximately $500,000 in additional
revenue to the County.
• Non-commercial (self-haulers) will pay by weight at the landfill (with the exception of discrete
wastestreams). This provides for increased efficiency for the County's landfill Gate Clerks,
meets reporting requirements of EPA, and will increase the pass-through rate at the scales.
• All stakeholders acknowledge that disposal costs, and resulting fees are subject to future chan e
g
due to regulatory requirements, landfill operations, etc.
• The County Commissioners have directed Ada County Operations De t, to establish a
p
landfill/Solid Waste Advisory Group (name of group to be determined by County) with re ular
g
meetings (frequency to be determined).
