No significant obstacles within the Town's control have been encountered that
would result in the failure or inability to implement the SWMP. Most deviations
from the implementation schedule are due to turnaround times required for
review and comment on Report submissions. Additional details on deviations
from the implementation schedule are presented in Section 1 a) 3, below.

2. DESCRIPTION OF RESOURCES
a. The Solid Waste District has a staff of 15 full time employees, including 2 devoted to
Administration and Management, and 5 part time employees. The District also receives
the services of a volunteer part-time recycling coordinator. 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 1996 budget was $2.3 5 million. The
1997 budget is $2.44 million_ Approximately 30% of the District's revenues are raised
through taxes, the'remaining 70% through user fees, including a variable-rate waste
disposal system ("Town bag" program). These funding and staffing levels are deemed
adequate to achieve the goals outlined in the SWMP.
b. No changes to the District's funding mechanisms or management structure is anticipated
at this time, although development of a long-range management plan for the District is
now underway.
3. ACCOMPLISHMENTS/NEW ISSUES
a. The 1996 period saw several significant and unique developments that contribute
towards the MSW management goals set out in the SWMP.,
1) Acquisition of Yard Waste Processing Equipment. 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. "
2) Enhancement of Source-Separation Recycling ProSram. The Town adopted a
design concept for a new transfer station that reinforces its ability to handle
existing source-separated recyclables from both self-haulers and carters, and
which provides for future`expansion of the source-separation program. This
demonstrates the Town's commitment to source-separation as the operating
principle behind all-of its recycling efforts, and as the means to achieving the 50%
recycling rates envisioned in the SWMP. Southold is unique in this regard.
3) Separated Re 4gline Program. Southold
became the first Town on Long Island to initiate a Town-wide polystyrene
recycling program by participating in a pilot-project sponsored by the American
Plastics Council (APC) and the County of Suffolk. Starting in May 1996, the
recycling center collected and shipped to a Long Island vendor 3 grades of
polystyrene(#6 plastic) . Approximately 2 tons of this extremely light material
(600 cu. Yds) were collected and moved. One of the grades, packaging
"peanuts," were delivered directly to package shipping outlets for re-use. -
4) "Cans for " Program. The Town initiated a drop-off program to collect 5¢
deposit aluminum beverage cans for use by a local youth environmental
organization. We estimate approximately $15,000 worth of these cans are
delivered to the recycling center each year. The Town solicited and received the
cooperation of local beverage distributors and sales outlets to accept cans
delivered by youth group members who will use the income to fund group

activities, which include nature area cleanups, ecosystem study sessions, and
recreational camping and field trips. The drop off facility is designed to keep cans
sorted into the required brand-name groupings, thus making it easier for the
group to redeem them.
b. New solid waste management issues affecting progress toward implementing the SWMP
are listed Below.
SWMP Item Issue
• New Transfer Station Town and DEC approval of design (which is
currently in progress)
• Permit for Full Scale Yard DEC approval of plan submitted in 1995. (May
Waste Compost Facility depend on ultimate approval of Closure Plan).
Town continues with previously approved small-
scale composting program as well as volume-re-
duction of excess yard waste(shredding and chip-
ping) for give-away program or use on-site as
ground cover or slope-stabilizing medium.
• Divert C&D to Alternate Facility Establishment of local private processing facility.
Local vendor in process of securing necessary
permits.
• Bid for MSW Haul & Disposal Town plans to exercise it's option under the
Services current 5-yr MSW and C&D hauling contracts to
re-bid the final 2 years in the hopes of securing
better rates. New contracts would take effect
July 1997.

5• RED UCTION,.REUSE. AND RECYCLING
a) Following is a description of key elements of Southold Town's source separation and
recycling program
1• Procedures for implementing the current program.
Collection Methods. Recyclables are brought to the Collection Center in two
ways: a) self-hauled by residents, and b) hauled from curbside by private carters.
a) Self-hauled recvclables are accepted during the Collection Center's
Monday through Sunday. Self-haulers
regular hours, 7:00 am- 5:00 pm,
deposit the following items at the recycling drop-off station: 1)glass
bottles separated by color; 2) tin and aluminum cans into separate 2-cu.
yard containers, 3) plastic containers; 4) polystyrene (PS)(,#6 plastic); S)
mixed paper; and newspaper(ON-P). Corrugated cardboard is also
accepted, but at an outdoor"bunker' away from the main recycling drop-
off station.
The glass is deposited into 2-cu. yd containers. When full, the glass
containers are carried via forklift from the drop off station to roll-off
containers located at a below-grade storage area outdoors, approx. 60
feet to the north of the main collection building; the tin/aluminum cans are
brought to an outdoor"bunker" (a 30'by 40'paved area enclosed on 3
sides by movable concrete block walls 4' in height); the plastic is hand_
sorted to remove HDPE and PET containers, which are then baled in one
of two small vertical downstroke balers. The remaining plastic consists of
a mix of#?_ color containers and other miscellaneous plastic. This mix is
removed in a container via forklift and dumped in another outdoor
bunker; the PS is placed into bags set up in one of two PVC frame bins at
the drop-off station. There are separate PS bags for"peanuts"used in
shipping packages, block used to pack electronic equipment, and food
service containers.
Mixed paper is dropped off into 4-cu. foot size gaylord boxes, which are
then loaded via forklift into a van-type trailer for hauling to the recycler.
Corrugated cardboard is deposited in an outdoor bunker" to hold until
there is enough to load an open-top trailer for hauling to the recycler. The
corrugated bunker is shared with carters bringing in corrugated from
curbside. ONP is deposited into small carts used to transport the paper to
a roll-off containers stationed at the outdoor storage area. The ONP is
then hauled out under arrangement with a private firm

a) 2. Public Relations and Education Programs (cont'd)
• A monthly TV program on a local public access channel, public notices,
direct mailings, and media promotions on recycling opportunities and
procedures.
5 b) Discussion of differences in program.
There are no significant differences (other than those discussed in Section 1
above) between the current program and that contained in the latest approved
version of Southold's SWMP/CRA.
c) Evaluation of reduction/reuse/reevcling potential of new materials.
Through 1996, the only item in the current approved CRA that is not yet
included in the Town's recycling program is rubber. Two items, polystyrene
(PS)(=6 plastic) and florescent have been added to the recycling program ahead
of schedule. Items scheduled to be added to the Town's recycling program in the
long-term phase are 1) other paperboard, 2) other rigid plastic, 3) other flexible
plastic. 4) food, 5) aluminum foil, and 6) aluminum furniture.
1. Present markets and specifications. The market for other rigid plastic is
being evaluated for continuation of the Town's polystyrene recycling
program. Issues regarding price, contamination with foreign materials,
and commitment of Town resources for trucking the PS will be
addressed. The Town currently has a market for clean aluminum foil and
aluminum furniture and accepts these materials. Formal evaluation of
recycling opportunities for other paperboard, other flexible plastic, and
food has yet to occur. (Detail about existing marketing arrangements
for recyclables can be found in Attachment 1).
2. Present and potential technical feasibility of reduction reuse_ recycling or
composting. Formal evaluation of such opportunities for recyclables
-scheduled to be added in the long term phase has yet to occur. In the
past, no markets for paperboard or other flexible plastic have been
identified through recycling vendors available to the Town. The option of
composting food waste has been addressed in ad-hoc fashion through the
periodic acquisition and distribution of composting brochures developed
by Cornell Cooperative Extension, as well as through a home compost
bin demonstration set up at the Southold recycling center. There has
been a substantial reduction in food waste delivered to the

transfer station due to out-of-Town disposal by private haulers of much
of the commercial waste, including that from local restaurants, generated
within the Town. Similar diversion as well as reduction of waste has
occurred as a result of the Town's volume-based"Town Bag" garbage
disposal system.
;. I=lementation schedule for additional materials. Implementation of
recycling of food waste, other paperboard, and additional flexible plastic
is still scheduled for the long-teen phase.
5 d) Discussion of progress toward achieving SWMP/CRA goals.
At the first SWNIP update cycle, the Town has achieved substantial progress in achieving
its SWMP/CRA goals. The landfill capping program as agreed to in the 1994 stipulation
of settlement is well underway; plans for a new transfer station have been adopted by the
Town Board and the Town is in contract with an engineering firm on the design of the
new station; the volume-based disposal system has substantially reduced the amount of
incoming waste handled by the Town; and the Town's recycling rate in 1996 of 54%
actually exceeds the mid-term phase goal set out in the 1995 CRA already approved.
Issues such as diverting C&D to a private facilitie(s) and tracking private waste
management and recycling efforts remain to be addressed in the long-term phase.
5 e) Copy of all current source separation laws.
There have been no changes to the Town's Solid Waste Code since the 1995
SWMP/CRA update.
