) OVERALL PROGRATI- GOALS (AL-SO EXPLAIN HOW THIS PROJECT ADVANCES THE GOALS OF THE SOLID
WASTE ALTERNATIVES PROGRAM).
Oakland County, Michigan has begun to implement a throughly integrated,
regional solid waste management program that includes materials reuse,
waste reduction, recycling (up to two County-owned 400 ton per day
materials recovery facilities), composting (at least one regional 300 ton
per day facility), household hazardous waste collection, resource recovery
(up to three 1500 ton per day facilities), and landfilling (a County-owned
facility with a life of 40 years). The ongoing household hazardous waste
collection program is a key element in the successful implementation of
this integrated system. Removal and proper disposal of much of the harmful
substances in the municipal waste stream will protect the environment and
eliminate problems in the other County facilities (such as reducing toxics
found in resource recovery ash).
Oakland County's household hazardous waste collection program will promote
an understanding of the importance of removing harmful materials from the
waste stream; provide ongoing collection facilities to the residents of
Oakland County for proper hazardous waste disposal; and remove hazardous
waste from the municipal waste stream and dispose of it in a licensed
hazardous waste disposal facility.
7) SPECIFIC OBJECTIVES FOR THE ITE7Z-t-TrgWD THROUGH THE SOLID WASTE—AMA-A-MIS PROGRAF
The County will target four areas within the County for separate ongoing
collection programs: the Southeast, Southwest, Northeast, and Northwest.
A collection day will be established in each of these regions annually, and
the County will implement a temporary collection facility in each area to
accept wastes. The County believes multiple collection facilities instead
of one central collection facility will achieve greater participation
rates. Please note that any Oakland County resident may use any collection
facility. The target regions were established to simplify coordination.
The facility sites will be selected and operated to minimize any potential
for hazard to workers or participating residents.
The success of the program will be evaluated by participation in these
programs and materials recovery rates and the absence of problem household
hazardous materials at the County's other solid waste processing and
disposal facilities. The County will submit reports to the State annually
summarizing the information received through the above evaluation.
. , 8) TIMETABLE FOR PROJECT IMPLEMENTATION - ATTACH COPY OF THE PROJECT TIMETABLE.
Collection days will begin in April 1990, and be held approximately two
months apart in each target area. The County intends to continue this
collection program annually, expanding it as demand warrants. Please refer
to attached Project Timetable.
9) GRANT OR LOAN BUDGET: ATTACH A COPY OF THE GRANT OR LOAN BUDGET.
To accomplish this household hazardous waste collection program, Oakland
County is requesting a grant of $100,000. The County has committed $33,333
of its own funds towards this project and assumes full responsibility for
any additional costs that may be incurred. Additionally, the County looks
forward to continuing this program after the grant program is completed for
a minimum of five years. (Please refer to attached forme)

1. INTRODUCTION
Oakland County has engaged in extensive studies and planning for over 12
years to establish a regional integrated County solid waste disposal
system in the County. These studies have addressed siting facilities,
financing the system, recovered resources markets, and technology
alternatives. Appendix A includes summaries from these reports.
Oakland County received grant money from the State of Michigan under the
Act 641 solid waste management planning program to conduct some of these
studies and to prepare the original County solid waste management plan.
The funding received is as follows:

1-1
As this history of planning and study demonstrates, Oakland County has
devoted a great deal of attention and effort to planning an effective
solid waste management program. These efforts have provided the County
with the data and knowledge that it requires to proceed into
implementation.
The County has no',1 begun to implement an integrated regional program
that will include waste reduction and reuse, recycling (up to two
County-owned three 400 ton per day materials recovery facilities),
composting (at least one regional 300 ton per day facility), household
hazardous waste collection, resource recovery combustion (up to three
1500 ton per day facilities) and landfilling (to provide 40 years of
life for the County). A key element in the implementation of this
integrated system is the removal of household hazardous waste from the
waste stream. The development of an effective toxics removal program
must be implemented as quickly as possible to prevent problems with the
other processing and disposal components of the County's system.
To ensure that the appropriate expertise is applied to implementation of
this enormous project, the County has assembled the following team of
consultants to assist:

These consultants bring to Oakland County's solid waste program many
years of experience gained throughout the United States. Appendix B
contains the qualifications for each of these firms and provides
discussions of solid waste projects that have been successfully
implemented.
Oakland County has received $300,000 from the Michigan Public Services
Commission through the Michigan Resource Recovery Implementation Program
to implement its first 1500 ton per day resource recovery facility
project. Thus far in the implementation process, the project team has
negotiated a contract with Westinghouse Electric Corporation to design,
construct and operate (for 20 years) a 1500 ton per day resource
recovery facility. The County has decided to finance the project by
issuing bonds. The project team is now ready to begin the permitting
process, negotiate the energy contract with Detroit Edison, and
negotiate with communities to commit their waste to the facility. The
project is being implemented as expeditiously as possible to relieve the
landfill capacity shortage in Oakland County. Please note that this
grant application did not include funding for a household hazardous
waste collection program; it provided monies for the actual facility
• implementation activities.
The County is also pursuing other activities. Currently a Request for
Qualifications/Request for Proposals is being prepared by the project
team to begin negotiations to procure a contractor to design, construct,
and operate (for 10 years) up to two 400 ton per day materials recovery.
facilities. A landfill siting advisory committee has been assembled,
1-4
composed of representatives from various interest groups and
geographical areas in the County. This committee, working with the
consultant, will identify a landfill site in Oakland County capable of
serving for 40 years by September 1989. The County is currently
identifying an appropriate composting site and developing a long and
short term strategy for collecting household hazardous waste, thereby
diverting it from the municipal waste stream.
Oakland County is actively supporting the reuse or recovery of materials
as well as promoting disposal facilities. The County offices are
currently implementing an office paper recycling program, and the County
is reviewing its procurement procedures to incorporate the purchase of
recycled materials to the extent feasible.
The County cannot implement a successful solid waste management program
without the support of its municipalities. Although the County will
provide facilities to process and dispose of waste generated within its
borders, the municipalities will be responsible for causing the
transportation of the waste to the County's facilities. The details of
the agreement that will be made between the County and the
municipalities are explained in detail in the draft Intergovernmental
Agreement for Solid Waste Disposal Services contained in Appendix C of
this application (it should be noted that this document is still in
draft form).
The next section of this application, Need for Project, discusses how
the household hazardous waste collection program is intertwined with all
of the activities described above and stresses the importance of proper
citizen education to encourage responsible solid waste management
through participation in the taxies collection program.
1-5
2. Need For Household Hazardous Waste Collection
Hazardous chemicals are present in most American homes - in household
cleaners, disinfectants, nail polish remover, even motor oil in the
garage.
Hazardous waste chemicals can be grouped into four categories:
Reactive products contain unstable compounds that may react with air,
water or other chemicals with dangerous results. One example is calcium
hypochlorite, a powder used to disinfect swimming pools that can react
with paint or kerosene to produce explosive and toxic chlorine gas.
Corrosives are strong acids or bases that eat away other substances.
Examples include chlorine bleach, a powerful acid; and drain opener, a
powerful base. Corrosives can cause severe burns on contact and their
vapors can burn the eyes. They are also poisonous if ingested.
Ignitable products, like gasoline and furniture polish, pose a fire
hazard if improperly stored or used.
Toxic products which can poison individual users, and pollute the
environment if improperly disposed.
Improper disposal of hazardous chemicals can injure trash collectors,
other waste management personnel -- and the environment. Throwing some
hazardous substances into the trash or down the drain can have a
devastating effect on lakes, rivers and drinking water supplies.
Although many close to the solid waste management industry understand
the current concerns and challenges faced by those responsible for waste
disposal, many do not recognize the importance of removing toxics from
2-1
the waste stream and minimizing the amount of this waste released into
the environment. As long as the garbage is taken from their doorstep
each week, there is no problem in their minds.
Only education can create the mindset necessary to implement
successfully the household hazardous waste collection program proposed
by Oakland County, and the County is in the process of developing a
public education project to promote the County's solid waste management
program which includes household hazardous waste collection. However,
the County must also provide the ongoing means for its citizens to
properly dispose of their hazardous household materials. This will
prevent direct release of harmful materials into the environment
(someone pouring cleaning substances onto the ground), and prevent these
harmful materials from contaminating waste streams going to the County's
processing and disposal facilities.
Oakland County has recently approved a contract for Westinghouse to
design, construct, and operate a 1500 ton-per-day resource recovery
facility. The County is ready to negotiate another contract with a
contractor to design, construct, and operate up to three 400 ton per day
materials recovery facilities. The County also is in the process of
identifying a composting site for a 300 ton-per-day facility. The
County is investing over $500 million in these disposal facilities,
which will be available for the citizens of Oakland County to use.
However, removal of hazardous substances from the waste stream reaching
these facilities is of extreme importance.
To avoid problems with heavy metals (see Appendix D) in the ash of the
County's resource recovery facilities, the County is planning an active
collection program for hazardous materials. Further, the Toxic
Substance Control Commission (TSCC) in Michigan recently. (August . 1988)
provided its recommendations for Policy and Regulations for Residue from
2-2
Municipal Solid Waste Incineration. In these recommendations, the TSCC
stated:
"First and foremost, serious attention should be given
to the front end of the waste stream. Keeping
problematic substances out of incinerator feed is the
most desirable ash management strategy. Incentives,
separation and removal requirements, product
reformulation, deposits, chemical and material
composition audits, and other methods should be
mandated as needed to remove toxic metals and other
problematic materials from the waste stream."
Thus, the importance of removing hazardous substances from the waste
stream plays a major role in the implementation of the County's other
solid waste processing and disposal facilities.
As discussed in the Introduction, Oakland County has assembled a project
team with unmatched expertise (refer to Appendix B for a discussion of
project implementation successes). These consultants will combine
resources to assist the County in implementing a successful household
hazardous waste collection program and producing materials for
publication that address the importance of participation in this
program.
The next section of this application, Project Goals, presents the
overall direction of Oakland county's household hazardous waste
collection program.
2-3
3. Project Goals
The project goals for Oakland County's household hazardous waste
collection program are:
o To promote an understanding of the importance of removing harmful
materials from the waste stream.
o To remove household hazardous waste from the municipal waste
stream.
o To provide ongoing collection facilities to citizens of Oakland
County for household hazardous waste.
o To dispose of household hazardous waste in a licensed hazardous
waste disposal facility.
These goals will be accomplished by meeting the objectives set forth in
Section 4 of this application and by using the procedures outlined in
Section 5.
3-1
4. Project Objectives
As described in Section 2 of this application, removal of household
hazardous waste from the municipal solid waste stream will be an
important aspect in Oakland County's solid waste management program.
Over one million people currently live in over 400,000 households in the
County; over 600,000 people currently work in the County. Recent •
studies estimate that nearly two million tons of waste per year is
generated within Oakland County borders (refer to Appendix D for
detailed demographic and waste generation information gathered for
Oakland County's draft Act 641 Solid Waste management Plan Update). The
County's household hazardous waste collection program must be designed
to effectively reach as much of its residential community as possible.
Working within the budget discussed in detail in Section 7, Oakland
County is targeting four regions within the County for ongoing
collection (refer to the figure on the following page; the Southeast,
the Southwest, the Northeast, and the Northwest areas. By establishing
a collection point in each, facilities will be reasonably convenient for
the majority of residents. With greater convenience comes greater
participation. Additionally, coordination is simplified by limiting the
number of municipalities targeted for each collection point. Please
note, however, that any citizen of Oakland County will be welcome to use
any collection facility established by the County.
Providing easily accessible household hazardous waste collection
facilities will encourage residents to dispose of their household

hazardous waste through the proper facilities rather than merely tossing
it in the trash or pouring it down the drain. Effective public
education on the importance of proper waste disposal will instruct
residents to recognize what materials may be harmful to the environment
if not properly handled. Adequate advertising of the collection
facilities will inform residents of upcoming household hazardous waste
collection programs and proper procedures to follow. Successful
implementation of this ongoing household hazardous waste collection
program will remove much of the harmful substances now in Oakland
County's municipal waste stream.
Thus, Oakland County's objectives in developing its ongoing household
hazardous waste collection program are:
o To direct educational information on proper household hazardous
waste disposal to County residents.
o To provide easily accessible collection facilities for the waste
to encourage participation.
o To release adequate notice of upcoming waste collection programs
to inform residents of appropriate procedures.
The County intends to begin its ongoing household hazardous waste
collection program as soon as possible, phasing in various components as
the solid waste management program proceeds, and expanding the
collection program as demand warrants it. Oakland County intends to
maintain this annual collection program after completion of this grant
project and maximize citizen participation.
Drugs and Laboratory Disposal, Inc. (a licensed waste hauler that has
participated in collection programs in other Michigan communities),
reports that typically in household hazardous waste collection programs,
one-half of one percent of the households in the area participate. With
4-2
aggressive implementation efforts, Oakland County hopes to significantly
exceed that rate of participation.
The next section of this application, Procedures, describes the
specifics of the County's household hazardous waste collection program
in detail, and provides a timeframe for implementation of the program.
4-3
5. Procedures
To accomplish the goals for this program set forth in Section 3 of this
application, Oakland County must inform residents of the importance of
proper waste management, increase awareness of what materials are
potentially harmful, provide ongoing collection facilities for these
materials, and advertise the availability of these facilities.
In conjunction with the other aspects of Oakland County's solid waste
management program (refer to Introduction for details), the County is
implementing a public education program. One of the topics included in
this education program is household hazardous waste, with examples of
typical hazardous materials in the home. The County plans to distribute
newsletters to municipalities for dissemination and pamphlets to schools
in the County for students to bring home. Both the newsletters and
pamphlets will include information on household hazardous waste, the
importance of proper disposal of it, and a description of the collection
facilities in the County.
The County is planning a minimum of four collection days per year, one
in each of the County's target areas (Southeast, Southwest, Northeast,
and Northwest - refer to Section 4 for further details on target areas).
In each of the target areas, the County will make arrangements for a
temporary site where a collection facility will be established.
The sites will be located where there is the largest potential volume of
wastes generated by households (in a populated area). The site will be
centrally located within the target area, easily accessible and well
5-1
known by nearby residents. Collection sites will be located in low
traffic areas to minimize the potential threat of hazards to human
health or the environment.
Household hazardous wastes are exempted from regulation under both State
(Act 64) and Federal (RCRA) hazardous waste law. Any activity,
therefore, associated with the collection, transportation, storage,
treatment, disposal, reuse or recovery of hazardous waste accumulated at
a household hazardous waste collection site is not subject to hazardous
waste regulation.
Storage or spills of household hazardous waste would be regulated by
Michigan's Act 245, The Water Resources Commission Act. This act
requires secondary containment for the storage of polluting materials
that could be released directly or indirectly to surface or groundwaters
of the state. Secondary containment will be accomplished for collected
wastes being stored temporarily at Oakland County's collection sites by
placing the primary container in drums or containers that are located on
impervious surfaces in an area free of drains.
The transportation of household hazardous wastes is subject to limited
regulation under the Federal Department of Transportation shipping
requirements. under these laws, household hazardous wastes are
considered "consumer commodities" and classified as ORM-E materials.
Household wastes must, therefore, be accompanied during transportation
by properly completed shipping papers and must be packaged in
non-leaking containers- The licensed hazardous waste hauler contracted
by the County will be responsible for meeting these requirements.
Prior to the collection day, a set of traffic patterns and collection
procedures will be determined. A temporary tent will be set up to
shield participants from the weather. However, an alternate day will be
announced with the selected collection day in case of severe weather
conditions, in which case the collection program would be postponed.
5-2
Local police and lire departments will be notified of the collection
program in advance. Additionally, the district miDNR office will also be
contacted and invited to attend.
The site will be selected to prevent runoff from the waste handling
areas to other areas, storm drains or sanitary sewers. The surface of
the site must be impervious. Areas where collected waste is sorted,
packaged, or stored will be made inaccessible to the public.
A County employee will be assigned to each collection day to oversee the
project. The licensed hazardous waste hauler will be responsible for
directing the sorting and packaging of collected materials. All County
personnel handling the hazardous materials will be adequately trained in
the proper procedure and safety measures for handling the materials
received. However, it is anticipated that the licensed hauler will
provide personnel to handle collection, sorting and packaging.
The County supervisor will be responsible for rejecting any suspicious
or regulated incoming waste. The collection facility will accept
materials from residents that are not hazardous. However, the resident
will be told what is and is not hazardous to avoid future mistakes.
The County will contract with a licensed hazardous waste hauler for each
collection day to collect, manifest, transport, and dispose of collected
hazardous wastes. Records will be kept at the collection site to
determine participation rates and the amount and types of wastes
collected.
The County has decided to establish temporary collection sites to allow
greater flexibility in establishing collection centers. By having
multiple collection sites in the CoUnty's ongoing program, some
5-3
residents who may not have participated may choose to do so when the
site is located nearby. Additionally, the County prefers to collect and
dispose of the hazardous materials during the same day, as would be the
case in contracting with a licensed hauler as described above.
Resident response to this initial program may indicate that additional
collection days are warranted throughout the year. The County will
implement additional collection days if this is the case. Further, the
County may decide in the future that a permanent collection site is
warranted, and that possibility will be evaluated as the collection
program proceeds.
The County will use means available to them to advertise the upcoming
collection days: public radio announcements, cable television
announcements, notices in the local newspapers, and notices in local
municipality newsletters. The County will coordinate to the greatest
extent possible with special interest groups: girl scouts, boy scouts,
Kiwanis, rotary clubs, Lions, etc.
The chart on the following page illustrates Oakland County's solid waste
management program schedule. The Board of Commissioners and County
Executive are responsible for monitoring the implementation of this
schedule. The household hazardous waste collection programs will be the
first programs implemented (April 1990) as shown on the schedule. The
collection days will be scheduled approximately two months apart in each
of the target areas, as described on the project Timetable form provided
by the MDNP-
Thus, as soon as possible (assuming project start date of October 1989),
the County would begin its household hazardous waste collection program
to remove harmful substances from the municipal waste stream. The
program will continue each year and be expanded as demand warrants.

The costs incurred by the County for implementation of this program will
be from
o Coordination with local municipalities for siting, advertisement
and program logistics.
o Procurement of a licensed hauler to handle, transport, and
properly dispose of collected materials.
These costs are discussed in detail in Section 7 of this application.
Costs incurred beyond the budget of this grant will be paid through the
County's general fund. The County currently plans to continue this
collection program beyond the life of this grant and to expand the
program based on need. Future activities will be funded through future
grants and/or the County's general fund.
6. Household Hazardous Waste Collection
Program Evaluation
Oakland County's solid waste management program emphasizes the
importance of ongoing household hazardous waste collection and proper
disposal. To get this waste to the collection facilities, the County
must coordinate closely with its municipalities (as discussed in Section
5 of this application). The municipalities will be able to assist the
County in selecting a site, advertising the program, and coordinating
the logistics of collection.
Evaluation of the success of the County's household hazardous waste
collection program will occur through two primary mechanisms:
o Participation in programs established by the County and the
municipalities - what quantity of household hazardous waste is
being received by collection centers? How many residences brought
waste to the center? Are certain areas participating more fully
than others? can the areas not participating be better reached by
public education or advertising?
o Are the County's other waste processing and disposal facilities
finding large quantities of this waste? Are problems occurring at
the other facilities as a result of contamination by household
hazardous waste (contaminated recyclables, compost,
resource recovery facility ash)?
The County has established its first steps in providing household
hazardous waste collection facilities (as described in Section 5). This
program, however, will be refined, modified, or enhanced over time, and
Oakland County will be attentive constantly to feedback (through the
above two mechanisms) on the success of its collection program.
The County will be maintaining records of waste received at its
household hazardous waste collection facilities and of participation
rates. Thus it will have access to trends in the use of the facilities.
If use of a .particular facility is not as extensive as expected, the
County will enhance its education program or advertising to boost the
participation rates. Additionally, the County would contact local
municipalities to get their suggestions and comments.
Further, if the County finds that its other waste processing or disposal
facilities are experiencing problems that could be solved through the
household hazardous waste collection program, it will emphasize these
needs more heavily in the advertising of the collection program.
Oakland County will measure the success of its educational program by:
o Strong participation in collection programs established by the
County and its municipalities.
o Elimination of problems at the County's recycling, composting,
resource recovery and landfill facilities that can be minimized by
removal of household hazardous wastes from the municipal waste
stream.
Oakland County will submit all project summaries required by the Solid
Waste Alternatives Program emergency Rules. Additionally, the County
will provide summaries of participation rates and materials received by
the County's ongoing household hazardous waste collection program
annually to the TIDNR.
6-2
Oakland County believes that its solid waste management program will be
a model for other communities in Michigan and throughout the country.
The County will be pleased to assist the State in the future by
providing information on its household hazardous waste collection
program and the role that it plays in the County's solid waste
management program.
7. Budget
As described in detail in Section 5 of this grant application, Oakland
County intends to implement household hazardous waste collection days in
four target areas of the county in the timeframe established for this
grant. The County, however, intends to continue this program after
completion of the grant project.
The costs that will be incurred by the County for implementation of this
program will be from:
o Coordination with local municipalities for siting, advertisement,
and program logistics.
o Procurement of a licensed hauler to handle, transport, and
properly dispose of collected materials.
The following table provides estimates of the total cost of the
household hazardous waste collection program planned by Oakland County.
Appendix F contains written estimates from licensed hazardous waste
haulers to collect, handle, and transport the materials brought to the
facilities.

Notes:
a Please note that labor costs do not reflect indirect or overhead
expenses or fees; they include salary cost.
Please note that this participation rate was provided by a waste hauler
that has been involved in other communities' hazardous waste collection
programs. Oakland County anticipates participation rates that will
greatly exceed 0.5%.
The following discusses each project cost in detail.
Coordination of Collection : As described in Section 5,
Procedures, County staff will coordinate with local municipalities in
each. of the target areas to establish siting, advertising, and
collection facility logistics. Additionally, a County staff person
will oversee each collection day.
2. Procurement of Licensed Hauler: EMIR strongly recommends that a
licensed hazardous waste hauler transport and dispose of the collected
materials. Appendix F contains written estimates from two haulers that
have experience in participating in household hazardous waste
collection programs. The estimated cost of this task is primarily
7-2
based on the estimate form Drugs and Laboratory Disposal, Inc.
However, the second estimate from Great Lakes Environmental Services,
Inc. does not conflict with the first estimate.
As required, MDNR's Grant or Loan Budget form is provided on the following
page, summarizing. the above project costs. Please note that this project
has not received previous funding through any other solid waste or resource
recovery grant program.
Oakland County believes that the household hazardous waste collection
program that is contained within this application is the most effective use
of the $100,000 grant funding that the County is requesting. The County
has committed $33,333 of its own funds to this project (refer to Appendix G
for the resolution from the Board of County Commissioners) and assumes full
responsibility for any additional costs that may be incurred. Addition-
ally, the county looks forward to continuing this program for a minimum of
five years after the grant project is completed.
Oakland County will maintain detailed accounting records of this project to
keep track of eligible costs and expenses of the grant budget. The County
will pay the costs as they are incurred through the County's general fund
and then submit the proper paperwork to the State in the format specified
in the application rules. As the County receives reimbursement from the
State through the grant program, the money will be noted in the accounting
records and receipted into the County's general fund. Oakland County has
worked with the State previously in grant programs (refer to Introduction)
and is accustomed to the accounting procedures required to maintain proper
records.
