ADDISON COUNTY SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT DISTRICT
SOLID WASTE IMPLEMENTATION PLAN
Adopted on June 15, 2006
Approved by VT Agency of Natural Resources on July 25, 2006

SECTION 1. INTRODUCTION

1.1 SOLID WASTE IMPLEMENTATION PLAN

This Solid Waste Implementation Plan (the “Plan”) has been developed by the Addison County Solid Waste
Management District (the “District”) to manage solid wastes within its member municipalities in conformance with
the Vermont Solid Waste Management Plan (2001).

Background

The Vermont Solid Waste Act of 1987, commonly known as Act 78, mandated that a State Waste Management
Plan1 had to be prepared based on the hierarchy of integrated waste management:

1. The greatest feasible reduction in the amount of waste generated;
2. Reuse and recycling of waste to reduce to the greatest extent feasible the volume remaining for
processing and disposal;
3. Waste processing to reduce the volume or toxicity of the waste stream necessary for disposal;
4. Land disposal of the residuals.

Each municipality was required to join or participate in a regional planning commission or solid waste management
district’s planning efforts. The districts had to prepare, adopt and implement a plan to manage solid waste within and
among its member municipalities in accordance with the State’s waste management hierarchy. To this end, the
Addison County Solid Waste Management District was formed, and the first District plan was adopted on March 19,
19922.

As a result of revisions to the State Solid Waste Plan that took effect on November 1, 2001, the District is now in the
process of revising its Plan. The due date for submitting this draft Plan to the Agency of Natural Resources (ANR) is
May 1, 2003.

Budget and Timeline

Each action item listed in the Plan includes a budget and timeline for implementation. See Appendix 1 for a
summary of the action items/budgets/timeline, along with a copy of the District’s most recent budget (FY 2005).

The District actively seeks grants for its programs and capital development projects. Often the costs associated with
new programs are wages/salaries. It is difficult, however, to obtain grants where salaries or other in-house
contributions are eligible for reimbursement. The District will continue to move forward with its priorities, seeking
financial assistance for priorities such as household hazardous waste management and educational efforts against
illegal dumping/burning. Pass-through grants for municipal recycling and composting projects are also a priority.

Amending the Plan

This revised Plan will cover a period of five years. Every two years, an implementation report must be prepared in
order to allow the Vermont Agency of Natural Resources (ANR) to track the District’s progress and performance,

1 Adopted on April 30, 1988. Revised on August 31, 2001, effective November 1, 2001.
2 As amended; the most recent amendment was in July 2004.

and to ensure conformance with the Plan. The District must also demonstrate that it meets the State Solid Waste
Plan priorities.

The procedure for amending the Plan is as follows: The District Board of Supervisors votes to amend the Plan. The
District accepts written comments and conducts at least two public hearings before voting on the amendment. A
public hearing is warned in accordance with the procedures outlined in the District Charter.

1.2 ADDISON COUNTY SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT DISTRICT

Member Towns

On November 8, 1988, the voters of 18 Addison County municipalities approved the creation of a union municipal
district - the Addison County Solid Waste Management District - for the purpose of managing solid waste. With the
addition of Whiting and Orwell in 1989 and Goshen in 1990, and the subsequent withdrawal of Salisbury in 1991
and Bristol in 1992, the District realized its current membership total of 19 towns.

The 19 member municipalities are:

Addison Goshen Monkton Ripton Waltham
Bridport Leicester New Haven Shoreham Weybridge
Cornwall Lincoln Orwell Starksboro Whiting
Ferrisburgh Middlebury Panton Vergennes

The governing agreement, or Charter3, of the District was approved by the Vermont General Assembly on May 5,
1989. (See Appendix 2, District Charter). The District exists to cooperatively and comprehensively address the solid
waste management interests of its member municipalities.

The latest census population of the District is 30,4114. The Addison Region has increased in population by 9.2% in
the period 1990-20005. There are 10,894 households6 in the District, and an additional 1,399 seasonal households7.

Board of Supervisors

The District is governed by a Board of Supervisors composed of one representative from each member municipality.
Board representatives are appointed by the legislative bodies of the member towns. As the term for a Board member
is one year, each municipality appoints its representative and one alternate every year after Town Meeting Day and
before the first Board’s (organizational) meeting in April. Anyone interested in serving on the Board of Supervisors
is encouraged to contact his or her select board to express interest in the position. There is no limit to serving
successive terms.

The Board of Supervisors has determined that the mission of the District is to:

1. Promote waste reduction and pollution prevention;
2. Maximize diversion of wastes through reuse, recycling, and composting;
3. Provide for the disposal of remaining wastes; and
4. Seek environmentally sound and cost-effective solutions in all of its programs, services, and
facilities.

Each representative is given one vote per every 2,500 population of the municipality he or she represents.

The District meets once per month, or in accordance with its schedule adopted at the April organizational meeting.

Staff

The District employs a staff of seven:

Teresa A. Kuczynski District Manager
Katie Johnson Business Manager
Donald Maglienti Program Coordinator
Gary Hobbs Transfer Station Supervisor
Joe Carden Transfer Station Operator II
Rich Surprenant Transfer Station Operator I
Phyllis Smith Transfer Station Operator I

Staff works at the District Transfer Station and Offices situated at 1223 Route 7 South, Middlebury, Vermont.
District staff may be contacted by: mail (1223 Route 7 South, Middlebury, VT 05753); phone ([phone]); fax
([phone]); or e-mail ([email protected]).

In 2005, the District will hire a part-time administrative assistant for the office. The District is also seeking part-time
Transfer Station attendants to work on Saturdays. For now, the District is maintaining a full-time staff of four at the
Transfer Station. Renovations of the Transfer Station in 2004 are designed to allow existing staff to work more
efficiently and with better equipment. Future hiring will be based on the Board’s annual budget process and the need
for additional employees due to a significant increase in either tonnage or responsibilities.

Powers and Authority

Powers

Section 5 of the District Charter lists the many powers of the District. Included in this comprehensive list is the
power to own and operate solid waste facilities, or to contract for the provision of solid waste services. The District
is also responsible for planning for solid waste. Section 5(16) gives the District the power:

“to regulate the collection, transportation, resources recovery, recycling and disposal of solid waste within
the District and to require that acceptable solid wastes generated within the District and any member
municipality therein shall be disposed of only in and upon facilities operated by or on behalf of the
District; or in a facility of manner that is part of an approved District Plan.”

Therefore, one of the most important aspects of this Plan is to identify those systems and facilities that are approved
by the District and its member towns.

Although one of the major functions of the District is to plan for the proper management of solid waste, the District
also has the power to “purchase, sell, lease, own, acquire, convey, mortgage, improve and use real and personal
property in connection with the purpose of the District and to construct, develop and maintain solid waste facilities
in accordance with federal and state law . . .”8 The District may borrow funds for this purpose, and to appropriate
and spend monies. The District may also enter into long-term contracts for services. This is an important distinction
between the District and other planning entities.

Ordinances

From time to time, the District Board of Supervisors may adopt ordinances in order to realize its mission and the
policies of its Plan. Such ordinances establish the day-to-day details of implementation systems and provide
enforcement mechanisms. To date, the District has adopted two ordinances: the Waste Management Ordinance9 and
the Illegal Burning and Disposal Ordinance.10 Appendix 3 contains copies of these ordinances.

Waste Management Ordinance

The Waste Management Ordinance lays out the responsibilities of waste generators and waste haulers in the District.
It establishes a licensing program for haulers that contains reporting requirements, weighing requirements and per
ton fee payments to the District. The ordinance adopts a District-wide mandatory recycling system that requires the
separation of recyclables, as defined in the ordinance, by the generator and the collection of recyclables by the
licensed hauler. Finally, the ordinance prohibits the co-mingling and transport for disposal of solid waste with
hazardous waste, non-regulated hazardous waste, or recycled hazardous waste.

Illegal Burning and Disposal Ordinance

The Illegal Burning and Disposal Ordinance prohibits the burning of solid waste unless it meets certain exemptions
allowed by State law, such as the burning of yard waste and natural wood, and burning in a State-licensed solid
waste incinerator.

The Ordinance also prohibits indiscriminate dumping of solid waste into disposal containers other than their own,
and onto land or into waters of the State for purposes of disposal. Exemptions include the composting of acceptable
waste on one’s property or the reuse/recycling of waste.

Joining or Withdrawing from the District

New Members

Any municipality wishing to be a member of the District may apply for admission to the Board of Supervisors, who
will then proceed to determine the effect and impacts likely to occur if the municipality is admitted, and determine if
it is in the best interests of the District. Granting of authority for admission will be predicated upon terms and
conditions that the District deems fair and reasonable. Presumably, this will include the decision regarding the future
status of pre-existing solid waste systems and facilities located in the new municipality. The municipality thereafter
holds a duly warned meeting for the purpose of approving the agreement for admission. Once those terms and
conditions of admission are met, the Board of Supervisors adopts a resolution to include the municipality as a
member.

Withdrawing Members

The voters of any member municipality may vote to withdraw from the District. The District must then hold a
special meeting to determine if it is in the best interests of the District to continue to exist. All financial obligations
must be met prior to a member town withdrawing from the District. Section 51(2) of the District Charter describes
the procedure for determining financial obligations.

Financing the District

The District is a non-profit governmental entity. The Board of Supervisors has the ability to establish charges,
including but not limited to tipping fees, for the purpose of generating revenues to pay for its operations and capital
acquisitions. It may also levy assessments for each member municipality. The assessments are based upon the
quantity of waste generated per municipality, if the quantity can be adequately determined. Alternatively, the
assessments are levied on the basis of population within each member municipality.

Currently, the District does not assess the member municipalities for any portion of its revenue. It relies upon a
combination of: (1) tipping fees collected at the Transfer Station in Middlebury; (2) a per ton District Fee on all
waste generated within the District if the waste is destined for disposal; (3) donations or fees at special events
sponsored by the District; (4) the sale of items such as compost bins; and (5) state and federal grants, if available.

1.3 EXISTING SOLID WASTE SYSTEM

One of the functions of this Plan is to update the public with respect to the current waste management system of the
District. Section 2 describes the waste reduction and recycling opportunities in the District. Section 3 describes the
Biosolids management programs in the District. Section 4 pertains to household hazardous waste and business-
generated hazardous waste. Section 5 describes the pricing schemes utilized by the District and by private hauling
companies. Section 6 discusses various Buy Recycled initiatives. Section 7 summarizes the District’s efforts in
enforcing against illegal dumping and burning. Section 8 discusses the criteria and process the District would use to
site solid waste facilities, and the standards private facilities would have to meet in order to site facilities within the
District. Section 9 describes the procedures by which the District includes a solid waste facility within its Plan.

At present, the District provides a Transfer Station on Route 7 in Middlebury that is designed primarily to service
licensed waste haulers. The Transfer Station is open for business Monday-Friday, 7:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., and
Saturdays, 8:00 a.m. to noon. The District business office is also located there, and is open 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.

Private haulers provide all curbside collection services in the District, and the majority of them tip their waste at the
Transfer Station. Commercial waste collection and recycling services are also provided by private haulers. Some of
the licensed haulers servicing construction and demolition contracts direct haul their debris to out-of-district
facilities. The District does not own collection vehicles and does not intend to enter this market within the next five
years.

The Town of Middlebury offers curbside recycling for its residents. Twelve of the member towns also offer
recycling drop-off centers to their residents. The Vergennes town recycling facility also services Addison,
Ferrisburgh, Panton and Waltham. Private waste companies park collection vehicles or provide roll-offs at these
centers. Two private recycling drop-offs are available in Middlebury (Casella) and New Haven (JR’s Rubbish and
Recycling)11. The District does not accept bagged (mandatory) recyclables at its Transfer Station, per a host
agreement with the Town of Middlebury.

The towns are responsible for wastewater management and the operation of wastewater management facilities. The
District does not deal directly with Biosolids management, but the District’s goal is to promote the proper
management and diversion of Biosolids.

1.4 FUTURE DISPOSAL CAPACITY

For the past two years, the District has contracted with the WSI Landfill for waste disposal and transport to the
landfill. This contract will expire in November 2003. The District will therefore have to go out to bid for disposal
capacity and long-distance hauling services. Several disposal options are anticipated to be available for the next five
years, although circumstances can change depending upon a variety of factors. It is always possible that a certified
landfill or waste-to-energy facility may not receive regulatory approval for renewal of its permits. In addition, the
District may have to compete with other states’ waste, the volumes of which may use up the remaining capacity at
the facility. Major increases in the cost of fuel may make transport to some more distant out-of-state facilities cost
prohibitive.

The facilities most likely to be disposal options for the District for the next five years are:

11 The New Haven facility closed in August 2005, but the Town of New Haven now contracts with Casella to park a collection
vehicle next to the fire station on Route 17E on Saturdays.

SECTION 2. WASTE DIVERSION ACTION PLAN

2.1 INTRODUCTION

District Mission Statement

The District is a union municipal district that exists to cooperatively and comprehensively address the solid waste
management interests of its member municipalities. The mission of the District is to:

• promote waste reduction and pollution prevention;
• maximize diversion of wastes through reuse, recycling, and composting;
• provide for the disposal of remaining wastes; and
• seek environmentally sound and cost-effective solutions in all of its programs, services, and facilities.

The Board’s mission statement affirms the State hierarchy of waste reduction, pollution prevention, reuse, recycling
and composting as the top priorities for an integrated waste management system. In determining how best to
implement these priorities, the Board of Supervisors adopts ordinances from time to time. The first ordinance
adopted by the Board of Supervisors was the Waste Management Ordinance.

2.2 MANDATORY RECYCLING AND ENFORCEMENT

The District Ordinance

The District’s Waste Management Ordinance (see Appendix 3) requires recycling of a designated list of materials
and places conditions upon licensed waste haulers in the provision of recycling services:

Recycling Requirements

Section 2.1(V). “Mandatory Recyclables shall mean: clear, green, and brown glass bottles and jars;
aluminum, steel and tin cans; translucent high density polyethylene (HDPE) bottles and jugs;
colored HDPE plastic bottles; polyethylene terephthalate (PET(E)) bottles; boxboard; corrugated
cardboard; newspaper; glossy magazines, catalogs and other publications; and mixed office paper.
The list of Mandatory Recyclables may be established and modified from time to time by resolution
of the Board of Supervisors or by the District acting in accordance with policies and/or guidelines
established and adopted by, and that may be amended from time to time by, the Board of
Supervisors. A current official list of Mandatory Recyclables shall be maintained by the District and
be available at the District office.”

Conditions of a Hauler’s License

Section 4.12(F). “No Commercial Hauler shall require their customers to sort Mandatory
Recyclables (except in situations where more than a 15-gallon container per week of one or more
Mandatory Recyclables are generated), into more than two groups, one group of fibers (including
but not limited to white paper, newspaper, cardboard, and magazines) and a second group of
containers (including but not limited to glass, plastic, and metal containers). Mandatory Recyclables
and any other Recyclables set out by customers for collection shall be rejected by the Commercial
Hauler if the Recyclables contain five percent (5%) or more (by volume) of contaminants, and the
Commercial Hauler shall indicate to the Generator the reason why the Recyclables were rejected.”

Section 4.12(J). “ No Commercial Hauler, and no Hauler who is not Licensed, shall (i) knowingly
collect or Transport for Disposal Solid Waste that has not been Separated as required by Article III
of this Ordinance, or (ii) co-mingle any such Solid Waste previously Separated in the collection or
Transport thereof. Any non-Separated Solid Waste shall be rejected by the Hauler, who shall notify
the Generator of such Solid Waste of the reasons for rejection. Any rejected Solid Waste shall
remain the responsibility of the Generator for delivery to a Facility authorized to receive it.
However, at such time as the non-separated Solid Waste is collected by a Hauler, the Solid Waste
7

becomes the concurrent, joint, and several responsibility of the Generator and the Hauler who
collected the Solid Waste to deliver it to a Facility authorized to receive it. This provision shall not
be construed as authorizing the collection or Transport of non-separated Solid Waste.”

Tiered Rate Schedule

Section 4.12(G) of the Waste Management Ordinance requires a licensed hauler to offer tiered schedules to all of its
customers, and to show in all customer billings fees for collection and handling of recyclables separately from fees for
other solid wastes. Although the Ordinance does not establish the details of such a rate schedule, the tiered rate
schedule must be based on different levels of service, thus creating a financial incentive for customers to generate less
waste.

Enforcement as a Diversion Tool

The District’s Waste Management Ordinance provides one valuable tool in promoting waste diversion. The District
also enforces its recycling requirement through random load inspections of incoming waste at the Transfer Station.
Loads found to contain in excess of 5% recycling by volume are subject to a surcharge of 10% of the total weight of the
load. Repeat violators are subject to doubled surcharges. The District contacts violators by phone and then follows up
by sending written information. In addition to the surcharge, generators whose loads are found to be repeatedly in
violation of the District ordinance are subject to regular inspection, and in some cases, a violating load may be rejected
altogether. The District has seen significant success, particularly with contractors, in providing incentives to recycle and
keep hazardous waste out of loads.

Conclusion

The Waste Management Ordinance requires recyclables to be separated from the waste and provides for enforcement
and fines. Waste haulers must use a tiered schedule of billing for its waste services. The definition of “Tiered Schedule”
in the Ordinance does not specify the particular pricing differentials between solid waste and recyclables. The language
does state, however, that regardless of the method used by a particular hauler, there must be a financial incentive to
reduce the waste generated. Additionally, the hauler must provide enough information in the billing to allow the
District (and the customer) to determine whether this standard has been met.

Adopted on June 15, 2006 Approved by VT ANR on July 25, 2006

As part of this Plan, the Board of Supervisors will re-examine the Waste Management Ordinance over the next two
years, and in so doing, will revisit the existing language to determine to what degree it has accomplished the goal of
promoting recycling. Included in this effort will be a review of the tiered schedule and billing system. The District will
also examine the best methods for improving recycling compliance among some of the smaller hauling companies,
including the “fast trash” trucks that park in the area from time to time.

The District will continue to perform random inspections of waste loads entering the District Transfer Station as a
method of enforcing mandatory recycling.

2.3 RECYCLING METHODS IN THE DISTRICT

The District has had a mandatory recycling ordinance in effect since 1993. During that time, District staff has
focused its efforts largely on education and promoting recycling as a lifestyle behavior. These efforts appear to have
paid off. Overall, recycling efforts in the District appear to be robust, as reflected in its 2001 diversion rate of 34%
(see Table 2.10).

Curbside Recyclables Collection

All District residents have access, upon request, to curbside collection of recyclables through private District
haulers. This is a function of both the District’s licensing procedure and a requirement under the Waste Management
Ordinance.

Table 2.2 summarizes the total curbside tonnage for residential and business recyclables in 2001.

Drop-Off Locations

In the District, there are at least three recycling drop-off locations, for both residents and businesses, operated by the
private sector: JR’s Rubbish Removal and Recycling16, New Haven; Casella Waste Management, Middlebury; and
R&L Rubbish, Cornwall.

The District does not at this time accept recyclables at the District Transfer Station in Middlebury.

Town Recycling Centers

Of the 19 District towns, residents and businesses in 16 towns now have access to a recycling drop-off (see Table
2.3). The town recycling centers are independent of the District. In many cases, they were started by concerned
citizens and volunteers. Several are still operated entirely by volunteer labor. Table 2.4 summarizes the tonnages of
recyclables collected at each of the town drop-offs.
