The proposed facility also includes provisions for more bays than currently utilized
in order to accommodate anticipated program expansion based on the following:
· Expansion of hours of operation.
· Expansion of recycling collection, sorting, storage and processing capabilities.
· Expansion of compost facilities for residential yard waste.
· Increased involvement in recycling programs by making access easier, and
· Reduction of elimination of Town wide curb side pickup.
3. It is anticipated that five (5) bays will be used for materials that will be recycled, as
follows:
. Mixed Glass: 45.46 Tons/Year
. Newsprint: 142.33 Tons/Year
. Corrugated Paper: 18.75 Tons/Year
. Bulk Material: 215.22 Tons/Year
. Tires: 15.53 Tons/Year
4. The proposed Recycling Center will have eleven (11) bays. The anticipated allotted
usage is as follows:
· Reevclables: (Mixed glass, newsprint, corrugated paper, bulk metal, tires)
5 Bays. . . . . . . . . . _ . . . . . . . .
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .. .
437.29 Ton/Year
· ML"\:ed Municipal Solid Waste
2 Bays. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .. . . 272.46 Ton/Year
· The remaining four (4) bays would be used to accommodate construction and
demolition materials (551.89 Tons/Year) and the increase in collection of any of
the above items due to Program expansion.
The current operation utilizes a twice per week frequency that the roll-offs are
transported for recycling (depending on volume).
It should be noted that the above data outlining the transfer operation size, allotted
usage, and transportation are estimated figures, based on historic usage, as well as
anticiuated expansion. Actual volumes and removal frequency will be dependent
on actual program participation.

5. The Force Account Summary included in our previous correspondence dated May
22nd, 2000 was based on data obtained from the Town Highway Department. This
information outlined the estimated man and equipment hours expended to data, and
paid for at the local prevailing wage and equipment usage rates.
The work was not performed at set times or for a set duration, but rather, was
performed as personnel and equipment were available. No records were kept of the
specific nature that you request.
We feel that the information previously submitted accurately reflects the man and
equipment hours required to perform the specified work.
Please feel free to contact this office if you have any questions or comments.
Thank you for your consideration in this matter.
Very truly yours, J2
