Bill Angelo made a presentation to the Board on the upgrade in Subtitle D modifications developed by EMCONBaker-Shiflett, Inc. Bill Angelo advised that the Rock Prairie Rd. Landfill has a life of 5 more years at the present. Tom Brymer asked if in terms of yard waste, would a diversion add to the life of the Landfill. Bill Angelo said he would check data to see. Larry Ringer asked if a diversion of construction debris would add life to the Landfill. Bill Angelo told the Board that replacement of a compactor could add about 20-25% more life because of tighter compaction. AGENDA ITEM 4: Consideration of BVSWMA Landfill site selection process. Bill Angelo asked the Board for direction. HDR representative Mike Carleton distributed and discussed HDR's list of issues on the project beginning with the Citizen's Advisory Committee (CAC). Mike Conduff stated that he thought it was very important for the CAC to have true citizen's; not community officials appointed to it. Mike Carleton advised that the committee should probably include citizens from the County. Mike Carleton of HDR explained to the Board what the role of the CAC should be. 1) The CAC should clearly demonstrate to citizens that a sound process was used. (i.e. validity/trust) 2) Individuals can provide what conditions exist at the various site locations and give their input. (credibility/confidence) 3) The CAC will develop local selection criteria. Mike Conduff stated that he wanted the CAC selection to be a public campaign in choosing its members. Various methods were discussed by the Board for choosing CAC members. Ed Ilschner made the motion that the Staffs develop lists of possible candidates and that a list be requested from the Chamber of Commerce and then have the lists turned in to Bill Angelo for his review and recommendations. Tom Brymer seconded the motion. The Board unanimously approved the motion. AGENDA ITEM 5: Board member comments. Ed Ilschner wanted to welcome Bill Angelo. Tom Brymer wanted BVSWMA to begin looking into banning yard waste to increase space at the Landfill. AGENDA ITEM 6: Operator comments. Tony Schleisman gave the Board a status report on the Landfill. Tony Schleisman said the Con -cover machine is being used and working well. Tom Brymer asked Tony Schleisman who were the haulers from Fayette and Madison counties. Ed Ilschner asked if there was a sur- charge for specially handled garbage. Tony Schleisman stated there was not one at this time. Bill Angelo stated that he would put information together regarding this matter. Bill Angelo advised that methane testing was not at the Landfill and there were some locations with high levels. Bill Angelo stated he will monitor methane levels and did not suggest remediation at this time. Bill Angelo advised the Board about 2 upcoming conferences and invited members of the Board to attend them if they desired. Bill Angelo will begin to look at hardware/software for the Landfill computer because the present one is working slower and slower. AGENDA ITEM 7: Adjournment. The Board adjourned at 2:50 p.m.
