APPENDIX A
SCOPE OF WORK - PHASE lA OAKLAND COUNTY SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT PLAN
BASIC SERVICES
A. COLLECT, COMPILE, AND EVALUATE DATA
1, Population Projections. The ENGINEER will review available, existing population
estimates and census data. These data will be amended as required to display population estimates
for each municipality in the COUNTY for the year 1979, 1980, 1985, 1990, and 2000. The estimates,
projections, and census data will be provided to the ENGINEER by the COUNTY.
2. Exising Maas and Plans. The ENGINEER will review all available maps and plans which"
shall be deemed appropriate upon mutual agreement between the COUNTY and the ENGINEER to be of
assistance in estimating future waste quantities and characteristics, and in determining the
effectiveness and feasibility of existing and future solid waste transfer, processing, and disposal
sites. lese maps and plans will include, but not be limited to, zoning and land use plans; census
tracts; existing and projected transportation systems; urban renewal project boundaries; residential,
commercial, and industrial developed; solid waste transfer, processing and disposal sites; and
utility district plans which must be analyzed for solid waste facility planning purposes. These maps
and plans shall be provided to the ENGINEER by the COUNTY.
3. Compile taws. The ENGINEER will assist the COUNTY in compiling, for review, all
Federal, State, and local statutes, ordinances, and regulations which bear on the feasibility of
implementation of resource recovery facilities in Oakland County. ENGINEER will review this
information and identify the legal/institutional structures through which a solid waste management
plan could be implemented. The ENGINEER will prepare out to describe the State and local permit
processes and regulatory schedule requirements for existing, noncomplying facilities and proposed
facilities.
4. Determine Solid Waste Quantities and Characteristics, The ENGINEER will develop
estimates of existing quantities and characteristics and project future quantities and characteristics
for the residential, commercial and institutional solid waste streams. Light industrial and factory
housekeeping waste quantities (e.g., those wastes which can be easily landfilled without extra ordi-
nary handling) will also be estimated. These wastes which may be termed "Hazardous" or "Special"
shall not be included in this activity. The ENGINEER will review existing available data from area
industrial waste generators. These data will be provided to the ENGINEER by the COUNTY if available.
To address any significant gaps in the data provided, personal visits and interviews,
and telephone interviews, will be carried out by the ENGINEER with representative public and private
waste haulers as appropriate. Each municipality in the service area andmajor private refuse haulers
will be contacted by the ENGINEER regarding the weights or volumes of refuse which they collect, the
schedule for its collection, the character of the refuse (residential, commercial, institutional,
and industrial), the industries and major institutions serviced, and the identification of all
disposal facilities used and their locations.
Using data compiled above, and current census information, residential commercial,
and institutional waste generation rates can be estimated; the rates will then be applied to the
entire service area to determine current and estimated future solid waste quantities. Industrial
quantities will be estimated to the extent of readily available data.
5. Special/Industrial Wastes Survey. Early in the project the ENGINEER will undertake a
survey of representative industries- in the —s-errvice area to estimate the categories and total quantities
of special wastes generated by the industrial sector. The "special" waste stream is defined as those
wastes which may require extraordinary handling, but may be disposed at a permitted and well-operated
sanitary landfill. In conjunction with the COUNTY, the ENGINEER will determine a list of 25
representative industries of varying sizes from the Standard Industrial Codes (S.I.C.) listing for
the COUNTY's communities. These representative industries will then be contacted by the ENGINEER
by telephone or personally, as deemed appropriate. These data, along with existing data compiled
in earlier Oakland County studies and by ENGINEER during the study of other, similar service areas
Commissioners Minutes Continued. May 17, 1979 306
will be used to estimt.ite the wa ,te types and generation rates for the investigted industry ceAegories.
In turn, the rates will be applied fc the overall service area to develop the totul special waste
quantitit generated in Oakland County. These quantitie will asbist the COUNTY and the ENGINEER in
evalui Hug 'he impact of these wasios eh alternative solid waste management systems which shall be
consiik r I c the COUNTY. At the conclusion of this portion ol the Project, ENGINEER will meei with
represent tives of the coomry to arrive uf a decision regarding the need to modify the Project

will be developed. This asses ient will provide the basis for a decision by ENGINEER and the COUNTY
regarding the need to modify the Project Scope of Work to incorporate full consideration of co-
incineration as a part of the initial phase of implementation of the COUNTY solid waste management
system.
7. Evaluate Existing Landfills. Existing landfills judged by the ENGINEER to be considered
as part of the COUNTY's management svbtem will be inspected and evaluated. To assist this effort,
the COUNTY shall provide available data which may be required. including the name of the operator or
responsible agency, size, location, boundaries, permit status, violations of record, available cover
material estimates, records of monitoring wells and surface water sampling, and all available
hydrogeoloqic and climatological data for each site.
Based on these data, and contact with site operations, the ENGINEER will develop estimates
of remaining site capacity, (assuming the COUNTY proceeds toward implementation of resources recovery
systems) and site operating costs for the remainder of the site life. The feasibility of extending
the life of the site by acquisition of additional property and/or changes in operating procedures will
be addressed.
8. Evaluate Existing_Transfer Stations. The ENGINEER will evaluate the transfer stations
now in use in Oakland which can be expected to become part of the Countywide management system.
Available information for each station provided by the COUNTY will be reviewed. This information
shall include site boundaries, type of equipment, capacity, average throughout and maintenance
records (spare parts inventory and maintenance costs). The ENGINEER will inspect each such station,
observe its operation, and interview facility personnel. An evaluation will be made of the records
provided. Access to each station, relative to areas of concentrated waste generation (as determined
under Task A.4), will be appraised.
The ENGINEER will determine the general effectiveness and efficiency of the operation
of each facility. The requirements, if any, for upgrading each station will be outlined, including
estimated costs for increasing station capacity, if such a need is anticipated. The physical
condition of each facility and its spare parts inventory will be evaluated during this investigation.
B. IDENTIFY FEASIBLE ALTERNATIVE SYSTEMS
I. Investigate Refuse Enerad Markets. The ENGINEER will conduct an investigation or
potential refuse-derived energy consumers within the Oakland County service area to determine the
current market potential for energy derived from solid waste. The 1976 study work by Midwest Research
Institute (MRI), and related studies, will be reviewed and updated to provide additional data on an
energy marketing opportunity changes which may have developed in the interim period. Solid waste
processing systems associated with supplying energy to these markets will be evaluated on the basis
of current data on reliability and cost. Energy forms to be recovered from solid wastes will be
limited to steam and electric power.
Based on these available data, the ENGINEER will identify potential private and public
purchasers of refuse-derived energy (steam and electricity). Additional available data, to be pro-
vided by the COUNTY for this evaluation, shall include utility company records, air pollution control
permit records, and the nature and the size of the identified industries. Total daily and annual
patterns of energy demand will be determined for those markets judged by the ENGINEER to be of
significant potential interest.
The ENGINEER will meet with the interested maior potential energy consumers to discuss
the energy load profile, specifications, systems requirements, and economics of energy purchase, with
the objective of obtaining written expressions of interest. The results of this effort shall be
documented under the Activity B.9 Report.
2. investigate Markets for Recovered Materials. The ENGINEER will investigate the
markets and general systems for materials recovery For a proposed resource recovery system for
Oakland County. The 1976 MR1 study report on materials recovery shall be reviewed to identify
potential purchasers of ferrous metals and aluminum. Representative local purchasers will be
contacted to determine prices for materials and potential commitment to purchase. Based upon these
data, experience from other studies, and in-house information, the ENGINEER will estimate potential
receipts from these materials, net of transportation cost.
Required product quality outline specifications From potential purchasers or secondary
(recovered) materials will be obtained. An analysis of the feasibly recovered materials. the general
recovery systems, and the potential markets will be tabulated in the report under Activity 0.9.
The materials recovery effort will be limited to those systems associated with pre-
paration of a refuse-derived fuel (ROE) for firing of a suspension-fired or spreader-stoker
incinerator boiler.

will be evaluated relative to the potential steaming rate of refuse-to-energy plants and
the electrical in with the utility erid system. The cost impact of each alternative system
combination will be quantified for review and presentation in the report. The approach to be used
for the initial incineration feasibility study will include the following stages:
a. Selection by the ENGINEER, based on the quantity cf refuse, and on the size and Chara-
teristics of the prospective energy markets, of up to four (4) typical design sizes of compatible
incineration facility capacities. It is at that these typical design sizes would be: 50
tons per day (TF0), 100 TPD, 800 TPD, and 1,200 TPD.
b. For the two smaller facilities (MCU-type), the ENGINEER will draw on his experience
and on consultation with the energy system subconsultants (C.T. Main and Battelle) to develop typical
layouts, capital and operating cost estinates, and technical constraints associated with such units.
c. For the two larger facilities, the following sequence of studies and engineering assess-
ments will be carried out,
i. 1 Explorations - Representatives from the ENGINEER and energy steam sub-
consultants will meet. and discusR alternative furnace, boiler, and turbo-generator configurations.
Also, field trips to not more than four (4) municipal refuse energy plants will be made to observe
performance and evaluate technical design features. From these field investigations and the collec-
tive engineering experience of the Firms, two furnace/boiler concepts and two steam conditions
(saturated and superheated) will be selected for further study.
ii. Preliminary Economic IfrIal_yltds - ENGINEER will develop prelimindry capital and
operating costs for each combination of unit capacity, furnace/boiler type and ,team conditions
(eight cases) plus the steam option using a separately fired (foRsil fuel) superheaters boilers
(two capacities). Also preliminary capital and operating costs will be developed for alternative
energy electrical generation, and dissipation (to cool the condenser) systems will be considered.
iii. Selection of Two Candidate System Concepts - ENGINEER and the energy subconsultants
will meet and select a system concept for use in this and subsequent analyses. The basis for selec-
tion will include: state of technological development, capitalization requirements, and prospective
net tipping fee.
iv. Economic Analysis - The economic evaluation for the alternatives selected will be
refined to provide an improved basis upon which to estimate the tipping fee and capitalization re-
quirements.
4. Identify New Sites for Processing Solid Waste. The ENGINEER will identify suitable
sites for waste processing, according, in part, to energy consumer data compiled under Activity B.1.
These sites shall include those suitable for a large, centralized processing plant, as well as those
for smaller (MCU) plants. The ENGINEER will develop site selection/evaluation criteria for review
by the COUNTY. Upon approval of the criteria, the ENGINEER shall identify up to twelve (12) candidate
sites for consideration by the COUNTY through application of the criteria to land within the COUNTY
judged by the ENGINEER to be appropriate for consideration. Upon concurrence by the COUNTY, all
pertinent data on these sites, including ownership, property boundaries, zoning ordinances, codes,
and other local restrictions will be reviewed by the ENGINEER. Each of the twelve (12) approved
sites will be analyzed for implementation of an appropriately sized processing facility; the virtues
and liabilities of each site will be quantified and tabulated for presentation in the Activity 8.9
Report and in preparation for solid waste systems recommendation and selection.
5. Identify Potential New Landfill Sites in Oakland County. The ENGINEER will develop
criteria for selection and evaluation of potential landfill sites in Oakland County. The criteria
will include, but not be limited to, site size, geohydrologic conditions, site access as it relates
to the proposed transfer haul matrix, environmental impacts, and comparative site development costs.
After review of the criteria with the COUNTY, an inventory will be compiled of land areas judged by
the ENGINEER to be of appropriate size and which are not readily identified as being dedicated in
perpetuity to other purposes. This inventory will include those potential sites currently in the state
regulatory or local permitting 'processes. From this inventory, and after application of the approved
criteria, the ENGINEER will identify up to five (5) sites judged most amenable for landfill development.
These selected sites will then be submitted to the COUNTY for review and approval. For the selected
Commissioners Minutes Continued. May 17, 1979 308
and approved sites, the ENGINEER will develop preliminary site development t:chemes and estimated
costs for site ci n' t rot i 10 aertion. r, n a f ,r_St cites Within rho COUNTY. Similar to Activities 13.4

7. Pr ; ae Et l• I- of Alternative Prot, ; ing/DiLpoi lal I iht ENGINEER will review all
waste quantity, technice,i, environmental, and cc( •mmic data cortpii,d under all previous at with
consideration for the sensitivity of each procti ing ,yttem configuration to variations in the
character and quantity of refuse available in th County for processing. An economic model for each
alternative manaqment system developed by the ENGINEER will be compiled to show capital and operating
costs,income from energy and recovered materials, quantity of residue requiring disposal, and other
factors affecting economic feasibility. The models will be structured in a general way to reflect
fluctuations (seasonal waste generation, differences in waste characteristics, etc.) in the management
system. The models will also reflect an optimally-distributed transfer ttation i s will include
haul costs and costs of operation of these transfer stations, and will be developed to provide a
favorable tipping fee in consideration of proposed system competition (sanitary landfills). The
economic modeling will be made for two levels of County responsibility: (1) disposal of the County's
residential and commercial waste streams only, and (2) disposal of the residential, commercial, and
conventional, or light industrial wastes.
8. Asse s Environo• atal Issues. The ENGINEER will perform an environmental inventory of the
general environme ttal charac ristics of the region and/or Oakland County, specifically, the County
Service Center and other pot i atrial processing sites, and other facility sites identified in Activities
11.4, B.5, and BAG Environitintal issues will be evaluated and approaches will be identified to ensure
compliance with environmental regulations. Characteristics to be evaluated will include
(1) Facility site
- Existing land uses
- Neighborhood conditions
- Traffic conditions
(2) Physical
- Atmospheric conditions
- Topography and geology
- Hydrogeology
(3) Biological
(4) Human
- Demographics
- Land ownership and use patterns
- Community plans and projects
- Aesthetic and cultural re'sources
- Archaeological and historical sites
The environmental inventory will draw on the data base compiled under previous activities.
The Engineer will make projections of expected trends in the areas near the selected
alternative facility sites. Local, specific environmental issues will also be identified to assure
legal compliance and encourage public support. These will include, but not be limited to, flood plain
or wetlands considerations, impact on vacant parcels and open space, traffic and street patterns, air
pollution sources and wastewater discharges, and potential noise contours.•
The ENGINEER will maintain liaison with members of Federal, State regional, and local
regulatory and planning agencies to continually assess the feasibility of alternative system
implementation from the standpoint of environmental concerns.
9. Data Base Report. A detailed report will be prepared, with appropriate text, tables,
maps, and appendices describing the work done under all preceding activities. The report will serve
as a basis for decision-making in subsequent activities of this study and will tabulate and display
all pertinent data. The number of copies of the report to be ;submitted to the COUNTY shall not exceed
150.
The draft Table of Contents for the Data Base Report will be prepared in the early weeks of
the Project and provided to the County in a loose-leaf binder. As the Project proceeds, preliminary
drafts of portions of the Report will he furnished to the County to foster early awareness by the
County of the direction and content of the work. Additions and revisions to the draft report will be
furnished as available.
C. SELECT AND RECOMMEND IMPLEMENTATION PLAN FOR A COUNTY SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
Activities under Parts A and B will provide data for the selection of an optimum solid
waste management system, including technical feasibility of processing/transfer/disposal systems;
preliminary costs; and potential environmental consequences. Under the activities of Part C, the
ENGINEER will seek to assist the COUNTY in selecting a final technical alternative, encourage public
support, provide indications of required potential waste and market commitments, and select appropriate
financing strategies.

to the proposed faciii, s.
The eeni [ Al willingness of the cities and towns of the private sector waste collection
industry to haul to the County I s facilities will determined through presentation of contracts pre-
pared by the COUNTY and an outline schedule of iii,ted tipping charges. The institutional and legal
constraints on acquisition of waste also will bc determined from data compiled previously. For
instance, a municipality may have entered into a multi-year contract for waste collection with a -
private hauler. That waste may not he able to he directed to a County facility until that contract
has expired. This investigation will provide information regarding the chronological availability
of waste within the County.
Of special importance will be discussion with the leadership of those cities and towns
which have not yet signed a letter of intent to participate in the County-wide system. Since these
communities can contribute large quantities of refuse, their involvement could or would (1) affect
system economics, (2) affect facility siting and system optimization, and (3) make available to the
system existing facilities (landfill or transfer stations) which could significantly impact on the
County Program.
The objective of the effort under this task will be to assess the willingness to
participate by public and private sector haulers and industrial sources.
3. Prepare an Institutional, Management, Financial and Procurement Plan. The ENGINEER
