2 RRS Site Inventory October 2011

Introduction

At its meeting of August 18, 2011, the Resource Recovery Board directed staff to provide descriptions, locations, existing and permitted uses (including land use), zoning, and special exceptions, for all the properties in the Resource Recovery System. This report is intended to fulfill that directive. According to the Interlocal Agreement governing the Broward Solid Waste Disposal District, the Resource Recovery System is defined as follows [Section 2.17]: The term “resource recovery system” shall mean the facilities which are constructed,

• perated, maintained and repaired or caused to be constructed, operated, maintained and

repaired pursuant to this Agreement for the purpose of transfer or disposal of solid waste of the CONTRACT COMMUNITIES and the unincorporated County and the recovery and sale of materials and energy, therefrom, including all landfills, contingency landfills, transfer stations, treatment facilities and electrical generation facilities all attendant to the resource recovery

• system. Excluded from this definition is the COUNTY landfill located in the Town of Davie

which is in existence as of the date of the execution of this Agreement. In addition, the Interlocal Agreement defines Transfer Stations as follows [Section 2.23]: The term “transfer stations” means the sites and receiving facilities constructed, operated, maintained and repaired by the COUNTY or a full service contractor retained by the COUNTY for the acceptance of solid waste for transfer to resource recovery system disposal facilities because a part of the resource recovery system is not operational. Other transfer facilities and those used by haulers for reasons other than previously described shall not be considered a part of the resource recovery system. Based on the above, staff has determined that the following properties are included in the Resource Recovery System:

• North Resource Recovery Plant (private)
• South Resource Recovery Plant and Ash Monofill
• Southwest Regional Landfill
• Materials Recovery Facility (MRF) (private)

In addition, the following vacant properties are a potential part of the Resource Recovery System:

• Alpha 250 North
• Alpha 250 South
