i 1 1 I 1 I 1 1 l E.2-2 NEAR HENRY COUNTY LANDFILL As indicated, areas north and west of the existing sine were considered- The area north of the existing landfill is not presently owned by the County. It is estimated that this 40-acre area could provide at least 18 years of joint disposal and 27 years of individual disposal. The area west of the existing landfill is not presently owned by the County. It is estimated that this 56-acre area could provide 22 years of joint disposal and 33 years of individual disposal· Figure II depicts these sites. E.2.3 COMPARISON Each site is relatively centrally located compared to the general growth patterns of the area. In either case, some re-routing of collection vehicles will be necessary- All sites will have to allow for leachate handling and storm water management- It is estimated that the Henry County sites and the Martinsville south site present greater potential requirements in these aspects. In being compliant with the new regulations for closure of the existing sites and for the development and closure of a new site, average estimates of landfill costs are expected to be in the $30-$50 per ton range. Table E-1 surunarizes disposal site cost estimates. Based on these estimates, individual disposal costs are slightly less than joint disposal costs. This isprobably due to less capital investment requirements. However, pro-rated joint disposal costs are significantly less than the individual costs. l Em3 EVALUATION OF DISPOSAL ALTERNATIVES E.3.1 TECHNOLOGY REVIEW The following technologies were reviewed as part of this evaluation: 5. 6. 7.
