  • Solid Waste Balefills
    Solid Waste Balefills: Balefills are landfills constructed of baled trash. Trash is compacted into rectangular bales at either a landfill or transfer facility and placed into a landfill cell in stacked rows. Typical baling operations consist of dumping the waste within a tipping area and efficiently sorting any recycled materials prior to the waste entering the baling process. Typically the waste is transported from the tipping area to the baling area via trash conveyors. The conveyors typically discharge to a baling hopper were the trash is compressed with approximately 250 tons of force and wrapped with steel straps to form a 2 +- cubic yard bale. The bales are then loaded onto trucks and transported to the balefill area. Balefill Facility Summaries The following section provides a brief summary of each balefill and baling transfer facility reviewed: St. Lucie, Florida – St. Lucie County Balefill Facility - Facility Summary: • Due to limited landfill space, St. Lucie converted its conventional landfill into a balefill and constructed a new 50,000 – square foot transfer station to sort waste prior to baling. The baling operation extended the landfill life from 20 to 40 years and reduced landfilling cost by approximately $1 per ton. Total baling facility construction cost – Approximately $10 million. • The baling facility process approximately 400 tons per day and is capable of processing 800 tons per day. Each bale of waste contains approximately two years of waste generated from each home in St. Lucie. Bristol, VA - Facility Summary: • The City of Bristol operates a two-story transfer station, which utilizes a two- stage baler to compact the MSW prior to landfilling.

    MINUTES SAFETY/SERVICE STANDBY COMMITTEE Tuesday, December 17, 2002 - 4:30 p.m._______ Members present: Kreun, chair; Brooks, Kerian. Others attending: Council Members Gershman, Christensen; Todd Feland, director of Public Works, Candi Stjern, Al Grasser, Mark Walker, Beecher Vaillancourt, Steve Burian (AE sub consultant to Black & Veatch), and Scott Carr, Black & Veatch. Representatives of Simplot and RDO Foods were also present. 1. Bio-solids Management Facilities Plan. Chairman Kreun stated they are all aware of the wastewater treatment plant that's being designed and built and very close to operation and with that comes along another problem is our biosolids management, and they have been putting a plan together on how to manage the new wastewater treatment and also to build an economical biosolids plant that will handle needs of the industries as well as the city's without putting us too far in debt and to use it economically; that in the last few months they brought on A & E and Black and Veatch to help us with this plan so we can consolidate some of the usages of the wastewater treatment plant and the biosolids plant. He stated this is an overview of our plan that we have in place, lot of work and thought has been put into it and would like them to consider it very heavily when the presentation is finished and to ask questions of consultants and staff until get into actual implementation of the whole program. Todd Feland, director of public works, stated to present to the subcommittee and then bring to the city council in January, and looking for a three part presentation; that the consultants will go into some of the alternatives and alternative treatment strategies; most of the issues they've looked at are some of the things they've done and what can they do in the future, and where do they go from here and if deemed some of the ideas are good, still need approval from the ND State Health Department and EPA and need to finalize some of those previous discussions.
