ES -1 Town of Southold Solid Waste Management Plan — 2013 Compliance Report Executive Summary Following is a summary of activities/achievements of the Southold Town Solid Waste Management District during the reporting period: GENERAL • Total Tons Generated 2011 & 2012: 45,000 annually (est). [NOTE: Estimate includes waste/recycling managed by private sector but not actually counted.] • Total Tons Handled by Town: 2011: 34,449; 2012: 37,423 (includes 6,400 tons of vegetative debris from TS Sandy) • Recycling (tons,) 2011: 18,005 (52% of Planning Unit waste stream); 2012: 18,053 (48% of Planning Unit waste stream. • Bum 2011: $4.4 M comprised as follows: tax revenue, 43%; fees, 45%; misc. income, 12% (e.g., sales of recyclables, grants, etc.); 2012: $4.3 M comprised as follows: tax revenue, 42%; fees, 49%; misc. income, 9% (e.g., sales of recyclables, grants, etc.) WASTE HANDLED BY TOWN MSW (tons shipped out under contract.): 2011: 14,650; 2012: 17,069 C&D (tons shipped by Town): 2011 (to Brookhaven Landfill): 2,029; 2012: 1,632 Recyclables (includingyard waste): 2011: 18,005; 2012: 18,053 RECYCLING • Recycling % by category: ❖ Household Recyclables (i.e., cans, glass, newspaper, cardboard, plastic, textiles, oil/antifreeze): 2011: 13%; 2012: 13% •:� Commercial Recyclables (scrap metal, rubber): 2011: 1%; 2012: 2% •:+ Yard Waste (100% processed into compost/mulch): 2011: 86%; 2012: 86% • As a % of waste handled by the Cutchogue Transfer Station - 2011: 51 %; 2012: (47%) • Trend: Overall, numbers for total waste handled by the planning unit during this reporting period were up from the previous period as economic conditions improved and as the Town's reduced tip fees for high volume waste haulers took effect. Recycling too was up, primarily due to the increase in vegetative debris due to Hurricane Irene and Tropical Storm Sandy. Generally, household and commercial recycling are little changed or even down since the mid 1990's. This could be caused by private recycling efforts not passing through the Town facility, and therefore not tracked, as well as reductions in paper generation and the weights of items such as plastic containers. • Over 5,000 residents took advantage of the "500 lbs. free" program, making over 2,000 trips over the scale. p.

By the end of 2012, the Town experienced a 101% overall increase in mixed MSW waste handled by the planning unit over the prior period, due the adoption of a reduced tip fee structure for "high volume" carters (defined as those bringing in excess of 100 tons/month to the Town facility), which was discussed in this section of the 2011 Compliance Report. In so doing, the planning unity handled virtually all the MSW generated within it, as well as some from nearby areas in the Town of Riverhead. SEE THE REVISED IMPLEMENTATION SCHEDULE (SECTION 4.4 a) 2) FOR A COMPLETE LIST OF MILESTONES AND THEIR STATUS. b) Waste reduction and recyclables recovety program elements 1) Procedures For Implementing Current WRR Following is a description of key elements of Southold Town's source separation and recycling program. A. Categories of Recyclables 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. Town of Southold Solid Waste Management Plan - 2013 Compliance Report p. 3 of 16 4.2 b) 1) WRR Program Elements— Procedures for Implementing WRR (cont'd) B. Collection Methods Most recyclables are brought to the Transfer Station in one of two ways: 1) 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. 1) Self -hauled recyclables: 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: 1) 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. 3) Commercial recyclables: 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 Deparatment delivers yard waste throughout the year. The Highway Deparatment 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 Hl IW drop-off days. • Periodic production of informational brochures. d) 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 have been accommodated in the new transfer station will allow for some new recycling efforts. One expected new development that did not occur was the planned implementation of a bagging system for compost and mulch. Staffing deficiencies as well as difficulty in developing a viable marketing plan caused the Town to reconsider and ultimately abandon this plan. e) Exceptional or Unique SWM Programs or Accomplishments The 2011 - 2012 period saw little change in planning unit programs or activities from the prior reporting period.

Provide technical assistance Town has not yet established to commercial, institutional the resources to move ahead 26 and industrial establishments with waste audits of private Ongoing commercial establishments. -- conduct waste audits Plans to distribute Waste Disposal questionnaires to aid in this have yet to be developed. 35 Require C&D recycling Dec 1996 Formal "C&D Recycling" has not been implemented by Town due to lack of staff and adequate space. However, a "Clean C&D" waste category has been established wherein unadulterated wood is accepted at a reduced fee for processing with brush at the compost site. Town of Southold p. 7 of 16 Solid Waste Management Plan — 2013 Compliance Report 4.2 f) Differences between current WRR program and latest approved version of LSWMP. (cont'd) Item # (from Table 5-1 and/or 6.6-1 of Town's 1995 SWMP) Milestone Not Achieved Original Planned Completion Date Discussion/Reason Not Achieved 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. It is the Town's understanding that automated MRF capabilities make source -separation of this item from ONP unnecessary. 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 g) Progress made towards achieving LSWMP or CRA goals OR explanation of obstacles to making progress. SWMP Item Issue • Long Range Planning The Town issued bids for a new MSW haul -dispose contract and subsequently entered into a contract with Winters Brothers, Inc. for such service, effective July 1, 201 lat a cost of $68.25/ton, down from $72.50 under the last year of its previous contract with Trinity Transportation Corp. For the year starting July 1, 2012 the cost increased to $69.95/ton. In succeeding haul/dispose contracts, 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. 8 of 16 Solid Waste Management Plan — 2013 Compliance Report 4.2 g) 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, and in fact may again consider a tip fee reduction for commercially -generated C&D in order to increase revenue by capturing more material currently handled privately. 4.3 RESOURCES — WRR Program Elements a. Description of Planning Unit Funding; and StaffingLevels evels The Solid Waste District has a staff of 14 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 2012 budget is $4.3 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. List of Actual or Proposed Changes to Funding Mechanisms or Management Structure 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 1) 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. New SWM issues that have arisen. The carter from outside the planning unit who established residential collection service in the Town in 2010, offering services in violation of the source -separation recycling requirements and the pay -as -you -throw "Town Bag" program as approved in the Town's local SWMP and the Southold Town Code,, was largely back in compliance by the end of 2012 pending a final outcome of the legal actions taken against him by the Town. As discussed previously in Section 4.2 a) of the 2011 Compliance Report, the material collected by this carter was not delivered to the Town facility, but rather was handled by private facilities outside the planning unit. The Town, with DEC support, moved to enforce regulations against this carter and to establish for the first time a local ordinance requiring curbside waste collectors to obtain an operating license from the Town, regardless of whether a carter's waste is delivered to a facility managed by the planning unit. SOLID WASTE AND RECYCLABLES INVENTORIES 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 $0/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) Sources of Data See 4.5 a) above.
