Bourne Integrated Solid Waste Management Facility Development of Regional Impact Subcommittee Hearing October 29, 2018
Bourne Department of Integrated Solid Waste Management
Town Administrator Chairman of the BOS Chairman of the BOH ISWM staff
ISWM overview Current DRI
Fully integrated solid waste management system, hence
the name “ISWM”
Operates as a separate Enterprise Fund (no tax levy used) Residential recycling center Composting Landfilling (219,000 TPY) C&D transfer for processing Single stream recyclables transfer station (formerly a baling facility) DPW collects at curbside weekly but ISWM pays for it and manages all
the MSW and single stream recyclables
An important part of fiscal management for Bourne
Maximizing full use of the landfill up to 2035 Maximizing all of the site for potential solid waste
handling operations beyond the life of the landfill
Researching innovative technologies to provide
benefits to Cape Cod over the long-term
Ensure sound financial management including closure
and post-closure maintenance
Potential site master plan 2035
Separate, focused department with trained, experience
staff with solid waste management credentials
Managed as an Enterprise Fund overseen by MA DOR Upgraded, specialized equipment and techniques Closure/Post-Closure funds for all facilities ($7.4 million) $5 million environmental liability insurance policy Infrastructure upgrades including a new scale system and
scale house and transfer stations
New expanded residential recycling center open with
limited access to neighboring town
Created a modern, state-of-the-art regional facility Closed old unlined dump and removed another section Provides materials management options to Cape Cod Thoroughly investigated area hydrogeology and instituted
engineering and management controls
Board of Health created bylaw prohibiting new public and
private drinking water wells downgradient
Connected all downgradient homes with private drinking
water wells to Bourne Water District water
Educational resource for area schools
A modern, state-of-the-art regional facility Host site for new technologies and transfer options
well beyond the life of the landfill
Emergency capacity for systems disruptions Provides a check on market prices Financial stability to develop the site and provide
benefits to the residents of Bourne and the region, including long-term disposal options

Phase 6 landfill expansion
Discussed in the original Environmental Impact Report (EIR) and DRI Certificate of Compliance completed for previous DRI #97031 Ten acres of impervious surface triggers an EIR which required a DRI Provides final design options for Phase 6
Access to Article 97 land at Joint Base Cape Cod
Approved by the Legislature and enacted into law by the Governor Access to the clean, treated effluent line abutting the landfill Access to this land triggers an EIR

6.69 acre expansion with and estimated capacity of
920,000 cubic yards of capacity
Site life extended into the early 2020s Accommodates further site development
southward into a potential Phase 7 and Phase 8
Could yield another 1,960,000 cubic yards and
1,870,000 cubic yards respectively
Potentially extending the landfill life out to 2034
9.82-acre landfill area with an estimated capacity
Site life extended to 2024 This would be the last landfill phase Contingency plan if Phase 7 and Phase 8 are not
pursued
Key permits obtained

Authorization to Construct (ATC)
Notice of Award given to a contractor Pending CCC approval, construction to start Q1 CY ’19 Phase 6 to open in early 2020 Capping of Phase 5 and Phase 4, Stage 2 in the spring of 2020
MA is facing a disposal capacity shortfall as sites close
Bourne and Dartmouth may be the last of the regional
sites in all of MA by the mid 2020s
Markets for recyclables are in flux China’s National Sword has banned imports Recycling facilities are full and dealing with trash in loads Processors struggling at both SSR and C&D facilities Rail haul to Ohio, but limited transfer stations and railcars
Planning and building new facilities of all types
is a challenge
Financing Siting Community support Permitting
Cape Cod is essentially an island dependent on services from
Disruptions to the system pose risks
Fires- ISWM managed MSW from Cape Cod when SEMASS
had a fire in 2007, at no financial impact to the towns
Outages- ISWM took MSW from a Cape town this summer
when SEMASS shut down one boiler for maintenance
Capacity choke points- transfer stations can reach daily
tonnage limit and have to close for a day or more
Natural disasters- hurricanes, floods
WM2, which states “To manage solid waste using an
integrated solid waste management system that includes waste reduction, recycling and composting…”
ISWM is helping to fulfill this mission for Cape Cod
“Further the provision of adequate capital facilities,
including transportation, water supply, and solid, sanitary and hazardous waste disposal facilities, coordinated with the achievement of other goals. The RPP must include regional goals for the provision
Collection and transfer operations Materials processing facilities
Recycling Organics Diversion and reuse Energy recovery
Landfills will always be needed in some capacity
Soils from brownfield developments Residuals (recycling, C&D) Bulky, difficult-to-manage items, house cleanouts Backup for outages Storm debris Special wastes
