Transfer Stations • • Transfer Station Feasibility Study updated March 2011 Two viable alternatives were modeled: • One transfer station close to central district to serve Beaches and Central • Two transfer stations, one in NE to serve NE District, one in SE to serve SE and Beaches • • Advantages • Reduced cost of hauling • Most economic benefit realized by Beaches communities • Could be integrated with MRF to reduce amount sent to landfill Disadvantages • Large public outreach and NIMBY issues for siting of facilities • Requires 100% land filling of waste, so only transport savings available

Massburn Waste to Energy Background “Waste to Energy” (WTE), which generates steam/electricity from waste by feeding mixed municipal waste into a combustion process dedicated to MSW. • • • Advantages • Reliable proven technology • Increases fuel diversity • Provides 90% volume reduction of waste, extending useful life of the landfill by a factor of up to 10 Disadvantages • Large capital and operating costs • Long design, permitting and construction lead time (6 yr +) • Long term commitment to one technology Implemented • Palm Beach County, FL; Pasco County, FL; Lee County, FL; Hillsborough County, FL.

Refuse Derived Fuel Background The RDF process removes recyclable • or non-combustible materials (metals, glass, and inert materials) and shreds or processes the remaining MSW into uniform fuel. • • Advantages • Provides local economic benefits • Provides 75% volume reduction of waste, extending useful life of the landfill Disadvantages • Approximately 25% of waste will require landfill disposal • Large capital and operating costs • Long design, permitting and construction lead time (6 yr +) Implemented • 14 facilities nationwide

Thermal Gasification Background • MSW thermally decomposes in the presence of limited amount of oxygen and produces a mixture of combustible gases (including methane, hydrocarbons, hydrogen • and carbon monoxide). • Advantages • Fewer emissions than Massburn or RDF • Syngas can be used as fuel or chemical feedstock Disadvantages • Limited number of small units implemented – no full scale units to date • Large capital investment • Long design, permitting and construction lead time (6 yr +) Implemented • Reno, NV; Madison, PA (pilot).
