Em A enda Item No.._!* • October 5, 1995 TO: Mayor and Members of the City Council FROM: Richard B. Helwig, City Manager . SUBJECT: Leaf Compost Permit Renewal PURPOSE The purpose of this memorandum is to provide the Mayor and members of the City Council with information to consider entering into an agreement with Roy F. Weston, Inc . for assis- tance in completing an Illinois Environmental Protection Agency ( IEPA) operating permit renewal for the City' s leaf eft composting facility. BACKGROUND The City applied for and received a permit from IEPA on Sep- tember 12, 1991 to operate a compost facility for landscape waste ( leaves and wood chips) . The permit was renewed in 1994 for a one year duration and will expire on December 1 , 1995 . In order to meet the 90-day permit renewal deadline, a permit renewal application was submitted by the Public Works Depart- ment on June 5, 1995. The application was not approved by the IEPA and will require additional environmental informa- tion. Because of the inability to complete certain permit requirements, it is expected the application will be returned to us as deficient. The permit renewal application requirements are considerably more complex than previous requirements . For example, new requirements such •as plans for odor control and testing, ground water monitoring, as well as a facility closure plan, are now required. Preparation of these requirements is be- yond the ability of staff to prepare. elk Leaf Compost Permit Renewal October 5, 1995 Page 2 Roy F.

(WESTON®) is pleased to present this proposal to assist in the preparation of the permit renewal documents for your compost facility. The compost facility documents prepared by WESTON will comply with the requirements of the Illinois Pollution Control Board's Final Order for the regulation of landscape waste compost facilities (35 Illinois Administrative Code Parts 830, 831, and 832) dated 3 November 1994. WESTON has reviewed these regulations and is prepared to work with the City of Elgin (City) to develop the necessary documentation for the permit application. Based on the information you provided during our meeting on 12 September, WESTON has prepared the following scope of work, cost proposal, and schedule for your consideration. Scope of Work 1. WESTON will review the City's initial permit application and determine if the information supplied adequately describes the existing facility. The existing permit application will be compared to the requirements of the new regulations. Any existing information from the previous permit applications and supporting documentation will be utilized in the renewal application. 2. WESTON will review the comments provided by the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (IEPA) and prepare the necessary documentation to address each comment. The additional requirements, as set forth in the regulations, may include: a. An odor minimization plan. b. A stormwater management plan. c. Recordkeeping methodologies. d. A plan for the intended use of end-product and a contingency plan for end- product compost that does not meet the general use standards. e. A closure plan with cost estimate. 3. WESTON will submit all documents to the City in draft form for review. 4. Based on review comments, WESTON will prepare the documents for submittal to the IEPA.

WESTON will provide an estimated construction cost for the capital improvements necessary to come into compliance with the current regulations, and an estimated operating cost for the additional operating procedures required by the current regulations, such as the periodic sampling and testing of the compost. Cost Proposal WESTON proposes that the services described above can be performed for an ESTIMATED PROBABLE COST of$6,900. Only those costs incurred will be charged, but the project cost will not exceed the ESTIMATED PROBABLE COST without the client's prior written consent. To avoid misunderstanding, it is emphasized that the ESTIMATED PROBABLE COST is an estimated maximum that we fully believe will cover the services herein described, but no guarantee is made or implied. A copy of WESTON's General Terms and Conditions is attached and is hereby incorporated as a part of this proposal. WESTON has developed this cost proposal based on the following conditions and assumptions: • The City will provide notice of intent to permit, by mail, to any interested parties, as required by the regulations. • If required, the City will furnish the following information: FEMA flood insurance maps Waste collection information - Topographic map of the site Proof of ownership - Location and addresses of adjacent property owners Location of nearby wells Expected landscape waste collection needs and volumes Expected product end-use Information on equipment to be utilized on site Soil boring information Operating practice presently employed at the facility • WESTON has budgeted one revision based on the City's review of the permit application, and one revision based on the IEPA review of the permit application. • WESTON will provide five copies of the final permit application: three for the IEPA, and two for the City.
