Eric Hartman, Land Management Office Director and Mark Sehr, Highway Engineer, reviewed a Feasibility Study of the Rock County Demolition Landfill. Three options were presented from the report drafted by engineering firm SEH.
•Option 1. No Expansion- remaining useful life of demolition landfill is
5.6 years in this option assuming the same tonnage annually.
•Option 2. Lateral Expansion – would modify the footprint of the existing
demolition landfill and allow for a 44 year capacity. It is estimated to cost between
$2.5 and $3.5 million to construct and final closure of this design, this option
would also have increase operation cost as leachate would have to be
collected and transported for treatment.
•Option 3. Vertical Expansion of existing demolition landfill- this option would change
the slope to the existing demolition landfill to allow for a 10 year life expectancy of the
demolition landfill, cost for this construction is estimated between
$750,000 and $1 million.
After hearing the presentation the County Board directed that the Engineer and LMO Director discuss these options with MPCA and report back.
