Trend: Numbers for total waste generated as well as recyclables during this reporting period were affected by the demolition and re-construction of the Town's Transfer Station in Cutchogue. While operations were never suspended, a series of changes to traffic patterns as well replacement of the vehicle scales and scalehouse caused periodic disruptions and inconvenience to Transfer Station users. Thus, some users found alternate disposal options and some materials may have been undercounted. Household and commercial recycling are little changed since the mid 1990's. Most commercial recyclables are removed with commercial waste via private sector to out of town facilities. As of this writing, the Town is considering lowering tipping fees to attract some of this commercial waste, as the new Transfer Station is better able to handle an increase in waste volume. In 2007 the Town began co-mingling metal containers (cans) with plastic containers. It remains to be seen whether this step will lead to an increase in total tonnage of these two items. Also in 2007, the Town began to collect electronic waste for recycling/special disposal. These amounts will be reported in the next SWMP Update. Yard waste fluctuates based on annual weather conditions. A slight increase in total yard waste accepted at the compost facility was noted in 2004. . Over 5,000 residents took advantage of the "500 lbs. free" program, making over 2,000 trips over the scale. p. ES-I Town of Southold SWMP 2007 Compliance Report EXECUTIVE SUMMARY -po 2 OTHER .

SEE THE REVISED IMPLEMENTATION SCHEDULE (SECTION 4.4 a) 2) FOR A COMPLETE LIST OF MILESTONES AND THEIR STATUS. . MILESTONE ITEM # 2: Receive NYSDEC permit for construction and operation of permanent transfer station. The new Transfer Station completed in September, 2006 retains the original facility registration received in 1993 (REGISTRATION # 52T92R). · MILESTONE ITEM # 24: Bid and award contract for private services or enter intermunicipal agreement for residual waste for additional period. The Town bid for a new haul/disposal agreement in May, 2007. A contract was signed with Trinity Transportation Inc., the winning bidder, in June 2007 for 2 yrs, with a mutual option for 3 additional years. . MILESTONE ITEM # 38: Evaluate technical and economic feasibility of organic waste recvcling. In the 1990s, the Town purchased a low tech, in-vessel system ("Ag-Bag") for its then new yard waste compo sting program, with the intention of incorporating food waste at a future date. Site and permit restrictions prevented full implementation of the system prior to the completion of the Town's new yard waste compost facility. In 2006 with the new facility permitted and in operation, the Town attempted to re-start the Ag-Bag system. However, the system as specified proved inadequate to handle the volumes required. Feasibility may be demonstrated with a newer version of the Ag-Bag system, however the Town has no plans at this time to do so. Town of Southold Solid Waste Management Plan - 2007 Compliance Report 4.2 LSWMP STATUS AND ACCOMPLISHMENTS (cont'd) p. 2 of 18 b) Waste rednction and recvclables recovery proeram elements 1) Procednres For Implementing Current WRR Following is a description of key elements of Southold Town's source separation and recycling program. A. Categories of Recvclables The Town of Southold identifies the following categories in its recycling programs: 2) residential recyclables: newspaper, mixed paper, corrugated cardboard, glass, tin/aluminum cans, plastic containers, textiles, waste oil; 3) commercial recyclables: scrap metal, tires; 4) yard waste: fully 100% of the yard waste accepted at the compost facility is processed into wood chips and leaf compost. B. Collection Methods Most recyclables are brought to the Transfer Station in one of two ways: I) self-hauled by residents, and 2) hauled from curbside by private carters. Some commercial recyclables are delivered by generators, and yard waste is delivered to the compost site by residents, haulers, and Town vehicles. These are described in more detail below. I) Self-hauled recvclables: are accepted during the Collection Center's regular hours, 7:00 am - 5:00 pm, Monday through Sunday. Self-haulers deposit the following items at the indoor recycling drop-off station: I) glass bottles; 2) tin and aluminum cans MIXED with plastic containers (co-mingled); 4) mixed paper and newspaper (ONP); and 5) corrugated cardboard (OCC). All items are deposited into bunkers whose walls are constructed of movable concrete blocks. They are accessed by residents from a raised platform/parking area. With the exception of the glass, when the bunkers contain enough of an item, the material is loaded via front-end bucket loader into a long-haul trailer and sent to a recycling. Glass is loaded into an off-road dump truck and brought to a separate area for grinding into glass-sand. 2) Private carters: deliver source-separated curbside recyclables consisting of all the same items as self-haulers. The glass bottles, tin/aluminum cans, plastic containers, and corrugated cardboard are brought directly to the "bunkers" that were mentioned above, but access the bunkers from the "low" side. This maintains a separation of residential and commercial users of the facility. The Town's "pay-per-bag" garbage program promotes a high level of participation in residential recycling, whether delivered by self-haulers or private carters, as all recyclables are accepted free of charge at the transfer station. Town ot Southold Solid Waste Management Plan - 2007 Compliance Report p.30t 18 4.2 b) I) LSWMP STATUS AND ACCOMPLISHMENTS - WRR Program Elements Procedures for Implemeuting Current WRR (cout'd) 3) Commercial recvclables: are generally delivered by the generators themselves, but overall accounts for a small portion of total recyclables received at the Transfer Station. In fact, most recyclables generated by the commercial sector are not delivered to the Transfer Station or handled in any way by the planning unit. They are generally collected with waste in private containers and delivered to private, out of Town facilities. This is due to the Town's high tip fee structure on commercial waste, which in effect diverts it away from planning unit control. 4) Yard Waste: is accepted at the compost site year round from residents and commercial generators (landscapers, developers). The vast majority of this waste stream, however, is delivered during the spring and fall "cleanup" seasons, when the Town allows free dumping of all leaves and brush. In addition, the Town Highway Deparatrnent delivers yard waste throughout the year. The Highway Deparatrnent delivers about 30% of all yard waste received (approx. 10,000 tons in 2006). C. Marketing, The Town utilizes a mix of private/public facilities and services in the marketing of its recyclables, which are summarized in Table 1 below.

Elements of the current WRR public education and promotion program Public Relations and Education Programs. Formal public education efforts consist of the following: · Presentations and special events for schools and groups on recycling, household hazardous waste, and waste reduction; . Technical assistance for businesses or others with special waste problems . Newspaper and radio ads for HHW drop-off days. c) Implementation Obstacles and Efforts Taken to Overcome Them Few SWMP elements that have not been enacted or achieved are attributable to obstacles solely within the Town's control. Those that are typically have been due to continuing uncertainty as to whether and how the Town will continue to handle portions of the waste stream over the long-term. Others goals not attained, such as C&D recycling, stem from inadequate staffing and space. Nonetheless, the Town is working to resolve these issues. The consolidation and reconfiguration of recycling activities that will be accommodated in the new transfer station should allow for a variety of new recycling efforts. The new facility offers the potential for additional environmental benefits as well. For example, as it is now possible to accommodate more waste in a safe, environmentally sound manner, the Town is considering lowering the price of commercial waste in order to "re-capture" that waste stream. Such a step would not only be convenient for local businesses, but it would also reduce significantly packer-truck traffic from local haulers that currently utilize out of town facilities. d) Exceptional or Unique SWM Programs or Accomplishments The 2005 - 2006 period saw several significant developments that contribute towards the MSW management goals set out in the SWMP. 1) Yard Waste ComDost Marketin!!. In anticipation of receiving ultimate approval of the Town's compost plan, the District acquired the necessary equipment to process and compost all of the yard waste currently generated within the Town. Approximately 35,000 cubic yards of mulch, woodchips, and leaf compost were produced over this time and most of it given away or sold to residents (each Town resident is allowed 500 Ibs/year free). Sales in 2007 will approach $150,000, up from $107,000 in 2006 and $40,000 in 1999. These materials are also donated to a variety of public works and community beautification projects. Approximately 15,000 yards of mulch was used at the landfill for use in manufacturing top soil for the landfill cap. Town ot Southold p. 7 ot 18 Solid Waste Management Plan - 2007 Compliance Report 4.2 d) LSWMP STATUS AND ACCOMPLISHMENTS - Exceptional or Unique SWM Programs or Accomplishments (cont'd) 2) Yard Waste Compost Operations a) Abandonment of Ag Bag System. The Ag Bag in-vessel compost system purchased by the Town in the mid-1990's proved inadequate to handle the yard waste stream as intended. A larger, more advanced version of the system would be needed to continue its use. While such a system is available, the Town has no plans at this time to acquire one. b) Bio-degradable Leaf Bags. This program, introduced in 2004, continues to work especially well. With it, the Town solved the long-standing problem of plastic contamination of leaf compost by introducing the use of bio-degradable paper bags for all bagged leaves brought to the facility. This amounts to approximately 1,500 tons per year. The Town picks up bagged leaves at curbside from residents twice per year, once in spring and once in the fall. Until 2004, residents wishing to take advantage of this service used plastic bags. Efforts to de-bag these leaves never worked fully, however, leaving a significant portion of the leaf compost unmarketable due to its contamination with plastic. The Town eventually resorted to shipping the bagged leaves to a private compost facility at significant cost. The bagged leaves are now able to be fully composted into a product identical to that achieved with clean, unbagged leaves. The compost facility is now entirely plastic-free. Southold is believed to be the only Long Island municipality to require biodegradable paper bags for its compost operation. 3) New Transfer Station. The long-awaited new transfer station opened in September, 2006. Key features of the new facility are I) safer traffic flow, 2) complete separation of commercial and residential vehicles, and 3) expanded capacity for indoor recycling and waste handling. 4) Intermunicipal Cooperation. Continues to be a priority in the Town's waste management structure. The two IMAs negotiated in the last reporting period (i.e., with the Town of Brookhaven on C&D disposal and the Town of Shelter Island on the grinding of brush and yard debris (performed by Southold) and of glass (performed by Shelter Island) have been extended. All three Towns have recently entered into discussions on a further cooperative effort with C&D that would include Shelter Island. 5) Glass Recvclinl!. Glass recycling continues to be a problem While the ground glass has been made available to a local asphalt manufacturer, its use is limited due to specifications and cleanliness. THERE IS NO SUSTAINABLE MARKET FOR RECYCLED GLASS ON LONG ISLAND. The Town of Southold would like to see more efforts on the part of the State to research and develop markets for glass.

In an effort to make recycling compliance easier, the Town began to co-mingle tin/aluminum cans with plastic containers during the reporting period. 7) E-W ASTE. The Town started an Electronic Waste program in 2007. As of this writing, approximately 40,000 lbs. ofE-Waste has been collected in 3 events. e) Differences between current WRR program and latest approved version of LSWMP. Milestones not met and the reasons for them are presented in the table below.

Due to new C&D disposal arrangements made in 2004, however, new effors to divert obvious "residential recyclables" (Le., metal, plastic, paper) from the C&D waste stream have been implemented. Town ot Southold p. 90t 18 Solid Waste Management Plan - 2007 Compliance Report 4.2 e) Differences between current WRR program and latest approved version of LSWMP. (cont'd) Item # (from Table 5-1 Milestone Not Achieved Original Planned Discussion/Reason Not and/or 6.6-1 of Town's Completion Date Achieved 1995 SWMP) 36 Add mixed paper as Sept 1995 The Town's variable-rate mandatory recyclable waste disposal system promotes removal of mixed paper from the waste stream and approx. 75% of available mixed paper currently is recovered on a voluntary basis. Due to existing source-separation requirements, however, commercial carters have been unable to add this item for their customers, making further mandates unrealistic at this point. 38 Evaluate technical and Dec 1997 Recycling organic food economic feasibility of waste on a large scale organic waste recycling requires an in-vessel system. The Ag-bag system the Town previously used proved inadequate for the waste stream intended, and was therefore abandoned. A larger version of the system could be investigated for use in the future. 4.2 t) Progress made towards achieving LSWMP or eRA goals OR explanation of obstacles to making progress. SWMP Item Issue . Long Range Planning The Town signed a new waste hauling/disposal contract with Trinity Transportation Inc. in June, 2007. The contract runs for 2 years, with 3 additional option years (mutual). The parties have agreed to pick up the first option year, making a 3 year contract as of this writing. Prior to the expiration of this term in 2010 the Town should address the feasibility of continued long-hauling of waste for out of state disposal as a viable long term waste disposal strategy. Options for on-Island disposal and arrangements with other Long Island Towns should be explored, including opportunities for cooperative waste and/or recycling arrangements. In addition, off-island options should be expanded to include RAIL-HAUL. The Town plans to do an RFP for its next solicitation. Town of Southold p. 100f 18 Solid Waste Management Plan - 2007 Compliance Report 4.2 1) Progress made towards achieving LSWMP or CRA goals OR explanation of obstacles to making progress (cont'd) . Recycling The Town's recycling rate of approx. 35% (not including yard waste) has not changed in several years. The Town may explore additional co-mingled recycling as a way of increasing recycling rates. This would involve assessing the cost of sending the Town's recyclables to a MRF vs. the cost of the current practice of handling source-separated recyclables. . Divert C&D to Alternate Facility Town may wish to remain an outlet for small scale C&D refuse, especially if it can maintain its arrangements with the Town of Brookhaven. 4.3 RESOURCES a. The Solid Waste District has a staff of 16 full time employees, including 2 devoted to Administration and Management, and 2 part time employees. The Solid Waste Coordinator is the chief administrative officer for the District and reports directly to the Supervisor and the Town Board. The District's 2007 budget is $4.1 million. Approximately 40% of the District's revenues are raised through taxes, the remaining 60% through user fees, including a variable- rate waste disposal system ("Town bag" program). b. No changes to the District's funding mechanisms or management structure is anticipated at this time. 4.4 IMPLEMENTATION SCHEDULE a) Status of Implementation Schedule I) Milestones remaining to be achieved.

Knowledge of markets for potentially recyclable items that not currently being recycled and/or composted is insufficient for meaningful discussion. 2) Present and potential technical feasibility. Knowledge of potential technical feasibility of recycling items that are not currently being recycled is insufficient for meaningful discussion. 3) Scheduled implementation date for WRR/composting additional materials. At this time, there is no implementation schedule for adding additional items to the Town's WRR/composting program. 4.4 c) New SWM issues that have arisen. . New Town Transfer Station can accommodate commercial waste generated in the Planning unit, but not currently managed by the Planning unit. The Town is considering lowering its commercial tip fee (currently $130/ton) to attract some of this waste, beginning in 2008. . A local carting company, Mattituck Sanitation, has applied for a local permit to construct a large (32,000 sq. foot) transfer station to handle up to 430 tons per day ofMSW, and 800 tons per day ofC&D. It is believed these capacities are to accommodate potential storage requirements. Nonetheless, a facility of such size would likely have a substantial impact on Planning Unit operations. 4.5 SOLID WASTE AND RECYCLABLES INVENTORIES 4.5 a) A description of solid waste and recyclables data collection methods. Data on materials handled by the planning unit (i.e., at the Town's Transfer Station) is from actual scale and/or volumetric measures observed. References to materials generated outside of planning unit control is inferred based on the total waste stream observed in 1990 (the last year of a SO/ton tip fee on locally generated waste, which ensured that virtually 100% of the waste generated in the planning unit was managed by the planning unit) AND on estimated per person generation rates for Long Island. b) See 4.5 a) above.
