A Public Hearing was held to receive public comments for the consideration of an application submitted by

There being no further comments, the Public Hearing was closed.

Host Government Criteria to Consider for the Increase in Daily Tonnage Intake at Jefferson County

Landfill No. 1 (Mt. Olive Landfill) Permit No. 37-43 Public Hearing of The Jefferson County Commission

June 20, 2019

The request before the Commission seeks to increase the daily waste receipts for Jefferson County

Landfill Number 1 (Mount Olive Landfill) from 1500 to 3000 tons per day.

Pursuant to Section 22-27-48 Code of Alabama (1975) the Commission should consider six factors in

determining whether to grant a modification of a permit for an existing facility. These comments will address

those six (6) factors.

1. The consistency of the proposal with the jurisdiction's solid waste management needs as

identified in its plan.

The proposal before the Commission is consistent with the County's Solid Waste Management Plan

update - 2015 and adopted by the Jefferson County Commission on July 30, 2015

2. The relationship of the proposal to the local planned or existing development, or the absence

thereof, to major transportation arteries and to existing state primary and secondary roads.

The Mt. Olive facility is located just off Interstate 65 ramp at 101 Barber Blvd near Gardendale.

Truck traffic will exit the interstate and travel less than ¼ of a mile to the entrance of the facility. Collection

vehicles carrying waste to the Mt. Olive facility will not travel through incorporated areas in Jefferson County

once they leave 1- 65, nor will they travel through business district, existing commercial or residential

developments. Indeed the Mt. Olive facility was designed, developed and located in an area, which can handle

a significantly higher waste volume than that which it is currently permitted to handle. The property is located

near major transportation arteries, including industrial access roads and highways, and the property provides

highway access to the Landfill.

3

3. The location of a proposed facility in relationship to existing industries in the state that generate

large volumes of solid waste, or the relationship to the areas projected for development of industries that will

generate solid waste.

The Mt. Olive Landfill is strategically located along the 1-65 corridor that has seen rapid commercial

and industrial growth during the past twenty (20) years. The planners of the Mt. Olive facility, and the

Commission at that time, obviously projected that the location of a modem landfill with significant long-term

capacity would be vital to increased industrial, commercial and residential development in north-central

Alabama. This facility was designed and permitted with that potential in mind. The Landfill is in an area that

is close to industries that generate landfill materials. 4. Costs and availability of public services, facilities and improvements required to support a

proposed facility and protect public health, safety and the environment.

The Jefferson County Landfill No. 1 (Mount Olive Landfill) will not require any additional funding,

public services or improvements to public health, safety, and the environment. Expanding the daily volumes

will make the existing operations more efficient and will minimize the operating costs of disposing of solid

waste generated in the permitted service area. In addition, the existing design standards of the landfill will

insure that the existing landfill continues to be an environmentally secure disposal site. Furthermore,

expanding the daily volumes will ultimately substantially reduce the costs of closing the existing landfill

because the increased volumes of solid waste will reduce the need for supplemental fill material upon closure

in the future.

5. The impact of a proposed facility on public safety and provisions made to minimize the impact on

public health and safety.

The Mount Olive landfill is an existing facility that has been utilized by Jefferson County since 1995.

The Landfill does not currently have any adverse impact on public safety and public health. The Landfill is

designed for the type of waste stream expected to be accepted at the Landfill. The Landfill should have a

positive effect on public health and safety by reducing illegal dumps in the County.

6. The social and economic impacts of a proposed facility on the affected community, considering

changes in property values, and social and community perception.

Because the landfill continues at the site where it has been previously located, the landfill will

have no adverse social or economic impact. The landfill is well oriented on a 2,000-acre tract of land that

maintains a well-defined buffer from the highway, and residential and commercial areas. It is anticipated that

the landfill will have a significant positive impact on the economic development of the County and will

reduce the cost of disposal for all residents in the County as compared to hauling the materials to a landfill

outside of the County or further away from the existing landfill.
