SUBJECT: RATIFICATION - MIAMI COUNTY SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT PLAN
UPDATE
RECOMMENDATION: That the updated Miami County Solid Waste
Management Plan be approved by Council.
BACKGROUND: The Miami County Solid Waste District was
established in 1989 and the Solid Waste Management Plan is updated
periodically to project procedures for the next 15 years in dealing
with changing solid waste management issues in the County,
especially as those issues may be impacted by Ohio EPA Rules and
Regulations. The plan was updated in 2002 and 2009.
The District has now forwarded the updated plan for adoption by
the Miami County entities. This is the last step before the
District seeks final approval from the Ohio EPA to implement this
new plan. Cindy Bach, the Solid Waste Coordinator, has advised that
all the core programs that were part of the prior plan have
remained the same, with some enhancements, and that the plan has
mainly been updated. The major item in the overall plan is the OEPA
request that the budget be broken down into funds allocated for the
Solid Waste District vs. the Transfer Station. Related to
programming improvements and changes, there are more selections on
the website for:
Yard Waste Household Hazardous Waste Scrap Tires Automobile
Batteries/Used oil Electronics recycling Curbside recycling
Topics for consideration under the plan are: Bar/Restaurant
consortium for glass recycling Curbside Recycling - Community
Consortium Internal Grants for recycling Increase
education/awareness through presentations/mailings Increase
participation of residential/commercial recycling
As indicated in the attached correspondence, the ratification
period by the County entities is May 1 - July 29, 2015,
REQUESTED ACTION: It would be appreciated if you would assign to
a Committee of Council consideration of recommending that the
updated Miami County Solid Waste Manage Plan be approved by
Council.

Introduction
The Miami County Solid Waste Management District (District) will
submit its updated Solid Waste Management Plan to all cities,
villages and townships in Miami County for approval. This approval
process, also known as ratification, is the final step before the
District seeks final approval from Ohio EPA to implement this new
Plan.
Your Community's Responsibility- Plan Ratification
Each community within the county of the District will be asked
to approve the District's Solid Waste Management Plan during the
period of May 1, 2015 through July 29, 2015 (ratification period).
The process requires each community to: review a copy of the Plan,
act on the Plan during the ratification period (90 days) and submit
a certified copy of the resolution or legislation to the District.
Failure to act on the plan is considered by the State of Ohio to be
a negative vote.
What if the Plan is Not Ratified?
If local ratification does not occur, the Director of Ohio EPA
is required by state statute to prepare a Solid Waste Plan for the
District and order the District to implement the state's plan. This
could negatively affect the District because local control of our
Plan would be relinquished to Ohio EPA. The Plan you will vote on
was developed through a local planning process and contains the
recommendations, programs and initiatives from the District's
Policy Committee. These programs and initiatives will provide for a
cost effective and environmentally sound solid waste management
system for the District and are designed to enhance and expand
recycling opportunities and recycling participation. The District
urges communities to learn more about the Solid Waste Management
Plan in order to make an informed decision.
Executive Summary of Solid Waste Management Plan
The following executive summary of the Solid Waste Plan has been
created for elected officials in the District to demonstrate how
the District's Solid Waste Plan benefits each community. The
District offers a wide variety of programs and initiatives that
offer real value to its communities. The District provides programs
in solid waste management programming for hard to manage materials
such as household hazardous waste, scrap tires and electronics. The
District also operates a highly successful education and awareness
program and other effective solid waste management programs.
Finally, the District provides direct solid waste management for
all of the county through the Miami County Transfer Station and
Recycling Facility.
Solid Waste Disposal Capacity
This demonstration is one of the fundamental requirements of the
Solid Waste Plan. The District conducted a regional capacity
analysis and has demonstrated that there is sufficient disposal
capacity for all solid waste generated by District residents,
businesses, and industry for the planning period (2016-2030). Goals
The District's solid waste plan exceeds the waste diversion goals
of the State Solid Waste Plan for all sectors of the District.
The District has demonstrated that 38% of the
residential/commercial sector waste stream and 86% of the
industrial sector waste stream has been recycled. The goal is 25%
for the residential/commercial sector and 50% for the industrial
sector.

Financing the Plan
The District will finance the updated Solid Waste Plan through
the continued reliance on tipping fees collected at the Miami
County Transfer Station in the District. The tipping fees are
$53.05 per ton plus the $4.75 per ton fee for Ohio EPA, or a total
of $57.80 per ton effective January 1, 2015. The District is not
projecting any increase in the tipping fees throughout the planning
period (2016-2030). Residential Recvcling Programs
The District promotes and supports numerous residential
recycling programs and offers special collection services to
maximize diversion of solid waste from landfills. The following
programs are offered:
e Curbside Programs - 4, 121 tons e Recycling Drop Off Programs
- 1, 712 tons Household Hazardous Waste - 1 O tons Electronics
