Reference Year, Planning Period, Goal Statement, Material Change in Circumstances, Explanations of Differences in Data A. Reference Year The reference year for this solid waste management plan is 2014. B. Planning Period (first and last years) The planning period for this solid waste management plan is: 2018 to 2032 C. Goal Statement The SWMD will achieve the following Goal(s): Goal 1 D. Material Change in Circumstances/Contingencies The District will use the Plan as a tool to achieve the goals and standards established by the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency, thereby leaving the implementation flexible enough as to allow investigations, strategies, and program the latitude to be responsive to the changing conditions within the District and the solid waste management industry. 1. Criteria for Determining Material Change In accordance with ORC Section 3734.56(D), the Plan must be revised if the District has determined that “circumstances have materially changed from those addressed in the approved initial or amended plan of the District.” The District will use the following process and criteria to determine when a material change in circumstance has occurred in the District, and as a result, requires a plan amendment. The policy committee has defined the circumstances that could necessitate a plan update. These include: • Facility Designations. The designated facilities identified in this Plan will remain in effect during the planning period unless added to or deleted through the procedures established by ORC Sections 343.013, 343.014, and/or 343.015 and as outlined in the District’s “Designation Procedure and Evaluation Document” (Appendix I). An addition to or deletion from the list of designated facilities will not be considered a material change in circumstances unless capacity availability, revenues for plan implementation or program availability is adversely affected. A-1 Lucas County Solid Waste Management District Final Approved Plan, May 1, 2018 • Waste Generation. The District will monitor the volume of Lucas County generated solid waste accepted at designated landfills and other solid waste facilities. In Section 5, the District has identified the amounts of waste generated by the residential, commercial and industrial sectors. The District relies on annual surveys and records from processing facilities to calculate waste reduction and actual disposal reports provided monthly for District fees and annual Ohio Environmental Protection Agency Ohio Facility Data Reports to calculate tonnages disposed. Therefore, the District will not consider changes in the estimated annual amount of waste generated in the District to be a material change. The District will provide updates through the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency’s Annual District Report process and when the five‐year update is required, make the appropriate adjustments. • Capacity Availability. Current contracts with solid waste landfills, transfer, composting and recycling facilities ensure proper disposal, processing and management of solid waste generated within the District. Landfill capacity assurance has been guaranteed by contract through the year 2030. The District will consider ensuring capacity by renegotiating contracts when there is less than three years of capacity remaining under existing contracts. The District will use a Request for Proposal process to secure the “lowest and best” bid for solid waste management facilities. It is not anticipated that solid waste disposal capacity will change enough to result in a material change of circumstance. • Strategies for Waste Reduction and Recycling. The District has proposed programs that maintain or slightly increase the amounts of recyclables retrieved from the waste stream. The District will, through the Board of County Commissioners and the Policy Committee, review its operations and plan implementation annually. Through this
