CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
This document presents the Solid Waste Management Plan for Saline County,
Kansas. The SWMP is the official policy guide for future actions involving the
storage, collection, processing, salvage, recycling and disposal techniques
necessary to carry out a planned and integrated solid waste program. The planning
period involved is ten years, with annual review, as well as public hearings on the
plan no less frequently than each five years. This Solid Waste Management Plan is
developed to meet the intent of federal and state law and regulations, including KSA
65-3405 and House Bill 2801 requirements for new County Solid Waste
Management Plans. The last county-wide solid waste plan was adopted and
approved in 1974.
The City of Salina has been designated as the Solid Waste Planning Authority for
Saline County. This designation was made in January 1994 through an Interlocal
Agreement (Exhibit A) between the City of Salina and Saline County, pursuant to
KSA 12-2908 and KSA 65-3405(b). A Solid Waste Management Committee was
formed in April 1994 in accordance with this Interlocal Agreement.

CHAPTER TWO
OVERVIEW OF PLAN AREA
A. SALINE COUNTY
Saline County, Kansas is positioned within the heartland of central Kansas and
serves as a regional center for a number of central Kansas counties. According to
the 1990 Census, Saline County's population totaled 49,300, with approximately
86% of that population located within the city limits of Salina (42,300). It is expected
that trend will continue, though continued growth in unincorporated areas is noted.
Population growth rates for both the City of Salina and Saline County have
increased in the first half of the 1990s. 1995 population estimates are: Salina:
45,000; Saline County: 51,000. Other municipalities in Saline County include:
Assaria; Brookville; Gypsum; New Cambria; Smolan. Each of these cities has a
population less than 500 persons.
B. HIGHWAYS AND ROADWAYS
Saline County is served by two Interstate Highways: 1-70, east-west; and 1-135,
north-south. In addition, several state and U.S. highways traverse the county,
supplemented by an extensive system of paved county roads. Each of the
municipalities and concentrations of rural population is served by a system of well-
maintained hard surface roadways. This system facilitates growth and development,
as well as providing infrastructure for movement of goods, including solid waste.
C. LAND USE
As evidenced by the population figures, the vast majority of residential dwelling
units are located within the Salina city limits. The City of Salina contains
approximately 12,000 acres of land. According to the Salina Comprehensive Plan
(1991), approximately 30% of the acreage within the city limits is devoted to
residential use. Commercial uses account for some 6% of area, with government
2
.'
and institutional uses occupying another 25%. Industrial uses occupy approximately
600 acres within the city (5%).
A significant land use factor in Saline County is the area immediately adjacent to
the Salina city limits, used for industrial purposes. The extraterritorial area
immediately south of Salina contains in excess of 300 acres, including several of the
major industrial employers of the community.
With the exception of the five smaller cities, rural/agricultural pursuits remain the
most predominant land use outside the Salina area. Agricultural use consists
primarily of pasture and crop land. Some land in the area immediately north,
northeast and northwest of Salina is highly limited in its development potential by
risk of flooding.
D. FUTURE GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT
During the ten-year planning period, growth patterns in Saline County are
expected to be similar to those experienced in the ten-year period 1986-1995.
Saline County and Salina have grown as a regional center for retail trade, banking,
health care and other services. That growth is expected to continue. Growth in
basic industrial jobs and manufacturing has been extensive. Based on the diversity
of industry in Saline County and the position held by local firms in their respective
industrial fields, continued growth is expected. While some new industries may
locate in the area, most growth will occur due to expansion of existing industries.
Modest residential and population growth is expected to follow the regional
commercial/service growth patterns and the industrial job creation. While from a
pure numbers standpoint most of the population growth is likely to be in Salina, the
trends of "exurban" or rural growth in residences is likely to continue, but not to a
point as to present significant service delivery (including solid waste) problems.
The pace of the growth expected from 1996-2005 is subject to debate. Growth
rates from 1990-1995 appear to have exceeded the rate predicted in the 1991 City
3
.'
Comprehensive Plan. However, the population growth rate is likely to remain in a
range of %% to 1 % per year. Such growth rates are manageable from a service
delivery and infrastructure standpoint and should not provide significant unforeseen
challenges in planning, including solid waste planning.
E. PLANNING AND ZONING
Both Saline County and the City of Salina have adopted zoning and subdivision
regulations. Those regulations treat solid waste facilities as special or conditional
uses, subject to special approval in zoning districts, based on the specifics of each
case,

CHAPTER THREE
CURRENT SOLID WASTE PROGRAM
A. STORAGE
1. Within City of Salina Limits
a. Residential - City ordinances since 1980 require residents to use refuse
carts for the storage of their household waste. These refuse carts (90
gal. capacity), are used to store residential solid waste until the day of
pickup. They are required to be kept off the right-of-way except when
brought to curb temporarily for pickup. Refuse cart use is required
regardless of how collection is handled.
b. Commercialllndustrial - City ordinances provide regulatory requirements
for commercial/industrial waste containers. Most often the solid waste is
contained in "dumpsters" or roll-off containers of various sizes until
collection. Small volumes are generally kept in refuse carts similar to
those used by residences.
2. Unincorporated Areas
Specific storage container regulations are in effect. Storage and containers
must be in compliance with health and nuisance prevention standards
delineated by the County.
3. Other Incorporated Cities
,
Individual city, county and state laws and regulations effectively govern
waste storage to maintain health and nuisance prevention standards.
5
B. COLLECTION
1. Within City of Salina Limits
a. Residential - Each residence in Salina may contract with a licensed
residential waste hauler of his or her choice for residential collection.
The City of Salina operates a Sanitation Division within its General
Services Department. The Sanitation Division offers refuse service on a
user fee basis to one, two or three family residential dwellings. In
addition to weekly refuse cart pickup, the City also offers special pickup
service for other bulky household waste. The City of Salina competes
directly with four private hauling firms for residential collection
customers. Of the 16,700 (approx.) housing units in Salina, the City
Sanitation Department provides service to approximately 12,700 units.
The remainder contract with city-licensed private collection businesses.
b. Commercial/Industrial - All collection is arranged by private contract
between individual businesses and licensed private collection firms. The
City of Salina does not provide commercial/industrial collection service.
2. RURAL COLLECTION
a. Residential/Agricultural - Rural residents contract with licensed private
haulers for pick-up or they may bring their own waste to the landfill. With
some restrictions, they may dispose of their own generated waste by
burial on their own property.
b. Commercial/Industrial - Businesses or property owners contract with
licensed private haulers for collection.
6
3. OTHER MUNICIPALITIES
The cities of Assaria, Brookville, Gypsum, New Cambria and Smolan each
contract with licensed private solid waste haulers to provide service to their
residents.
4. LICENSED HAULERS
Six to eight different solid waste collection companies are licensed in Salina,
Saline County or the smaller municipalities.
C. DISPOSAL
1. Landfill - With very few exceptions, all Municipal Solid Waste (MSW)
generated within Saline County is disposed of at the City of Salina landfill,
constructed originally in 1974. The City owns and operates this Subtitle D
approved landfill located off Burma Road, west of Salina. This landfill has
received extensive study and investment in the 1990s. Life expectancy of
the landfill is 50-75 years in the currently permitted area. The City owns
extensive land surrounding the disposal area itself. The landfill has excellent
transportation access from all points within Saline County. The landfill is
totally supported by user fee/tipping fee revenues.
2. Recycling - Located in City of Salina in Saline County are a number of drop-
off recycling businesses. Numerous businesses accept specific types of
items. The most significant general recycling business accepting a broad
variety of materials on a consistent basis is Images, Inc. This firm is a leader
,
within the community in promoting recycling of products used in the home
and businesses. This firm is currently involved in a small scale pilot curbside
recycling program in Salina. Currently, with the exception of yard/tree
waste, no public entities are involved directly in recycling programs. The City
of Salina does extensive recycling public information. Some
commercial/industrial waste haulers currently separate significant
7
.'
recyclables such as corrugated cardboard generated in sufficient quantities
by larger businesses,
3, Household Hazardous Waste and Exempt Waste - The City of Salina owns
and operates a comprehensive HHW drop-off site and program, The facility
is located near downtown Salina and is available to all residents of Saline
County. It is open and staffed during regular and convenient hours, and also
available by appointment. The facility was originally financed by a
combination of state grant funds and funds generated through the tipping
fees collected at the Salina landfill. It is operated by the Solid Waste
(landfill) Division of the City's General Services Department. All operating
costs are included in the solid waste budget.
4. White Goods - White goods are disposed of in Saline County in one of two
ways. Some private firms accept used appliances for salvage or when new
appliances are purchased from them. Some used appliances are repaired
and resold. The City of Salina landfill accepts white goods for disposal if the
appliance carries certification that the chlorofluorocabons (CFC) have been
properly evacuated. The City then contracts for disposal by a metals
recycling firm. No white goods are buried in the landfill itself.
5. Yard Waste/Green Waste - Yard waste/green waste is disposed of in a
variety of ways within Saline County. Some grass clippings and
miscellaneous yard waste from homes is bagged and collected at curbside
either with regular household trash or by special pickup. Private residential
haulers and the City of Salina Sanitation Division will collect yard waste.
Yard waste collected by sanitation firms is currently disposed of with
household waste in the landfill.
Some mowingflandscaping services bag grass clippings and dispose of
them. Most appears to be disposed of on private property at various
unknown locations in the County.
8
"
Professional tree trimming/cutting services most often "chip" the tree waste
and either make it available for re-use or dispose of it on private property.
Approximately 674 tons of yard/landscaping waste is disposed of annually at
the landfill. This number includes only the amounts brought by separate
vehicle, not the amounts disposed of through residential haulers.
The City of Salina mulches all grass clippings from parks, ballfields, golf
courses, etc. No City facility or department generated yard waste is
disposed of at the landfill. The City does do minor composting of leaves,
grass, etc. generated on City property or through City operations. The City
of Salina Forestry Division uses a chipper for reduction/reuse of wood waste
from tree trimming and removal. Wood chips are re-used throughout the
park system. The City of Salina owns and maintains a separate limb
disposal area as a location to dispose of trees and other vegetation removed
in City operations, but unable to be chipped or mulched. Excess tree waste
is burned occasionally, with a permit from KDHE.
Saline County and Salina officials provide extensive public information and
encouragement to individuals to leave grass clippings on the lawn and/or
develop home composting to dispose of yard waste. Programs include
development of a Master Com poster Program in 1995, continuing into 1996.
6. Wastewater Sludge - Solids from the City of Salina Wastewater Treatment
Plant is processed and generally made available for use on agricultural land
in accordance with KDHE and EPA regulations. Some dewatered
wastewater sludge is disposed of at the landfill, where it can be useful as
part of cover material.
7. Water Treatment Sludge - This sludge results from the precipitation of solids
from the treatment of raw water with a flocculent, such as lime or alum. The
City of Salina Water Plant disposes of this sludge on agriculture land.
9
.'
8. Used Tires - In Saline County, tires are either collected and disposed of at
various dealers, or they are brought to the landfill. Tires are accepted at the
landfill for a separate user charge. They are separated from the waste
stream and ultimately disposed of by contract, either for incineration or
monofilling.
9. Abandoned Vehicles - Saline County does not appear to generate an
unusually large quantity of abandoned vehicles. Numerous existing storage
and salvage yards provide adequate capacity to manage these wastes.
10. Agricultural Wastes - Saline County has a large and significant agricultural
base. Significant quantities of waste are naturally produced by every sector
of agriculture, including crop residue and spoilage. All indications are that
this waste is being managed at its generation point. Since best management
practices (BMPs) for the agriculture sector call for use of wastes as soil
supplements, the management of those wastes does not present special
handling or disposal concerns. Obviously, concerns over maintaining and
preserving environmental quality exist. County government (Extension, etc.)
is the primary entity for education and helping to protect the rural
environment.
11. Dead Animals - Saline County appears to generate what would be a "normal"
number of dead animals. A local by-products firm accepts dead large
animals for processing. Household animals are generally disposed of in an
animal crematory operated by the City-County Health Department or are
appropriately buried on private property.
~
12. Pesticides and Pesticide Containers - Because of a relatively large
agricultural community, it can be expected that a significant quantity of
pesticides are used. Best management practices are recommended and
known, and due to the expense of chemicals, it is not expected that large
excess quantities exist except for banned pesticides. A special collection
and disposal project involving a partnership of governmental units was
10
.'
recently completed to collect old or banned agriculture pesticides. If empty
containers are triple rinsed, they can be handled with the regular waste
stream. Pesticides should be used or properly disposed of. Many can be
disposed of similar to HHW or other exempt waste.
13. Used Motor Oil - Various locations in Saline County accept used motor oil,
including the City's Household Hazardous Waste site, No apparent
problems exist. Education on proper disposal is important.
14. Lead Acid Batteries - Automobile batteries are accepted for recycling at
various locations within the County. No apparent disposal problems exist.

CHAPTER FOUR
EVALUATION OF CURRENT SYSTEM
A. STORAGE EVALUATION
The current system of refuse carts in Salina works well from the standpoint of
appearance, ease of use and reduction of trash nuisances. In addition, carts allow a
semi-automated collection system which increases employee efficiency and reduces
injury likelihood, thus providing workers compensation savings. This system works
very well in the urban environment of Salina. One negative of the cart system is
difficulty in developing a variable rate plan, e.g. one 90 gallon cart may be only
partially filled, while the adjoining household may have a full cart. Both are charged
the same. Technology to weigh carts is in its early trial stages in the U.S. and may
present options for the future.
Storage policies in rural areas and smaller cities as well as for
commerciallindustrial use seem to meet the needs for aesthetics, health and
nuisance minimization.
B. COLLECTION EVALUATION
The collection systems throughout Saline County are based on establishing
competition and maximizing customer choice. Competition does exist in residential,
commercial and industrial collection. That competition serves to keep rates
reasonable and customer service levels high. The City of Salina's Sanitation
Division providing residential refuse service serves as a safeguard to make a private
monopoly unlikely. A monopoly with only one service provider could lead to
substantially higher residential rates and potential service declines. A City franchise
or contract system with one hauler could lead to similar problems. A municipal-only
service reduces choice and harms private businesses. One particular deficiency of
the current system is an operational inefficiency; e.g. when various households in
one City block have different refuse haulers, you could potentially have more than
12
"
.' ;'
.
one trash truck "following" each other down the same street, each with employees
picking up refuse from only its own customers, This is quite operationally inefficient.
However, the customer choice and advantages of competition appear to outweigh
this negative. Citizen satisfaction with the current system is evident.
C. DISPOSAL EVALUATION
1. Landfill - The City of Salina landfill is well-located, efficiently operated and
provides a cost-effective and environmentally sound location for solid waste
disposal. With one disposal area, it is easier to track solid waste trends,
tonnage, etc. No other landfills exist within a reasonable distance. Trucking
waste to other counties would be more costly and less environmentally sound.
Landfill tipping fees remain reasonable when compared with other areas in
Kansas or across the U.S.
Transportation to the landfill for Saline County waste can easily be
accomplished by standard hauling vehicles, e.g. packer trucks, container
trucks, etc., without intermediate processing through a transfer station. Saline
County and the City of Salina (as landfill operator) have developed an
innovative Interlocal Agreement whereby a portion ($2 per ton) of the landfill
tipping fee is provided the County as an impact fee, with a primary purpose
being the major maintenance and/or reconstruction of primary transportation
routes to the landfill. By this user fee-based program, costs for major road
work and addressing other impacts of solid waste transportation do not fall on
the general taxpayers, but on the generators of that solid waste. Better
roadways also reduce wear and tear on vehicles used for solid waste, thus
positively impacting the cost of operation.
A deficiency of the current landfill is the lack of viable alternatives in the
disposal of construction and demolition (C&D) debris. While clean rubble
may be disposed of at locations in Saline County, currently no permitted C&D
disposal area exists in Saline County. This leads to large quantities of C&D
taking up valuable space in the Subtitle D-(lined) portions of the landfill.
13
2. Recycling - The current system of primarily private sector recycling appears to
have provided substantial success in removing recyclable materials from the
waste stream. If you include all the private sector-led components in Saline
County, an extremely high overall recycling rate is evident. Items removed
from the solid waste disposal stream in these efforts include:
(a) Newspaper
(b) Corrugated Containers
(c) Office Paper
(d) Magazines and Miscellaneous Paper
(e) Plastic Containers
(f) Steel Cans
(g) Major Appliances
(h) Aluminum Cans
(I) Glass Containers
U) Tires
(k) YardfTree Waste
(I) Abandoned Vehicles
A weakness or deficiency of the current system of primary reliance on the
private sector is the potential lack of continuity in the system based on the
volatile market for recyclables. In some cases in Saline County, businesses
accepting recyclables have declined acceptance of certain products when
market prices are very low. They then re-enter the acceptance when markets
improve. Fortunately, the largest recycling business in Saline County is
owned and operated by an individual willing thus far to maintain full continuity
of material acceptance even during market downturns. By reliance on this
private business approach, the community must be aware of the possibility at
any time that drop-off recycling of specific products may no longer be
available. Should this occur, it could have substantial impact on the full solid
waste management system. Reliance on this private sector approach may
also mean that investment in equipment or technology may be more limited
due to individual private business fiscal constraints, and private sector monies
14
available for public education, information and promotion of recycling may be
somewhat limited.
An additional weakness in the private business approach is the greater
difficulty in gathering accurate data on recycling. Data gathering currently
relies on accurate voluntary reporting by private businesses. While not an
insurmountable problem, it is somewhat more cumbersome and less accurate
than if this portion of the residential solid waste system was under control of
one entity.
Commercial and industrial sector recycling in Saline County is "driven"
significantly by business economics. Cost of solid waste disposal for
businesses has increased in many cases as landfill tipping fees have
increased from $4 per ton to $20 per ton over the past five years. Private
collection services have passed on these higher costs to customers. Business
managers see solid waste disposal costs as a more significant portion of their
operating budget. Charges for collection are impacted by two primary factors,
volume and frequency. If a business can change to a smaller container/
dumpster size or reduce frequency of collection, substantial savings are
possible. Each of these possibilities can be enhanced by removing recyclable
items from the waste stream. Most often this occurs as a business separates
certain items, e.g. office paper, cardboard, etc. and finds a recycler willing to
accept the products at no cost to the business. The total volume of trash
required to be removed by collectors is then reduced. In some cases of large
business/industry, the commercial solid waste hauler may be the one
separating/collecting the recyclables, reducing their landfill costs and/or
offsetting costs by sale of the recyclables, particularly corrugated containers.
BLlsiness economics seems to be an effective method to gain greater
commercial/industrial recycling. One weakness could be the lack of
coordinated information to the business community about how they may find
direct economic payback from these efforts.
15
3. Household Hazardous Waste - The current HHW system is efficient,
convenient and environmentally effective. Public education and information is
an integral component of the HHW management system. The program
provides opportunities for interagency cooperation in agricultural waste
disposal and disposal of very small quantities of exempt hazardous waste with
the same characteristics as HHW.
4. White Goods - The current system is effective in ensuring that white
goods/large appliances are not disposed of in the lined sanitary landfill, but
are ultimately made available for either re-use or metals recycling. The
availability of both private business drop-off or trade-in points as well as drop-
off disposal at a separate site at the landfill present satisfactory alternatives
for individual households.
The primary weakness in the existing system involves the evacuation of CFCs
(Freon) from units such as refrigerators, freezers or some air conditioners.
The solid waste system puts the primary burden of CFC removal on the
appliance owner. When a CFC-containing appliance is no longer functional,
an owner must seek out either an appliance dealer who will accept it "as is" or
a service firm which will properly evacuate the CFCs. Many persons are not
aware of this, and certainly not expecting the costs charged by private sector
businesses for CFC evacuation. This cumbersome system is at best,
inconvenient and confusing to the citizen, and at worst, leads to inappropriate
disposal. Alternatives to the current system have their own positives and
negatives. If the landfill accepted appliances prior to CFC removal, they
would need to contract out the removal or perform the work "in-house: If
charges for the service were at true cost, the new system would be more
convenient than currently, but not necessarily less expensive. If costs were
subsidized by the landfill, equity in user charges would be in question. In
addition, some private firms currently in this business may object to a
government agency undercutting their prices or effectively taking them out of
this portion of their business.
16
5. Yard Waste/Green Waste - The current system of management of these
waste products does an effective job of removing public sector aenerated
vegetative waste from the solid waste stream. By cooperation of departments
and agencies, virtually none of this waste from forestry activities, public
property mowing or maintenance, nor general leaf pickup in the Autumn
months is disposed of in the sanitary landfill.
From a residential standpoint, the situation is quite different from the above.
Since there are no restrictions on placing yard waste at curbside for
collection, and there are no restrictions on yard waste going into the landfill in
Saline County, many residents persist in "bagging" their grass. Their trash
collectors then pick it up in normal packer trucks with household trash and it is
disposed of at the landfill. Unless quantities are very large, the collection
companies charge no more than the normal monthly fee, thus there is little
disincentive for that homeowner. If the homeowner chooses to bag leaves
rather than wait for public "vacuum" pickup, those leaves also go to the
landfill.
Lawn mowing businesses in Saline County often bag the grass also, at the
request of their customer. These firms sometimes leave the bagged grass at
the home for regular trash pickup, but most often remove clippings from the
site in trailers or trucks. We believe very little of this removed grass ultimately
goes to the landfill. It appears that much of it is disposed of by spreading on
private property at various unknown locations in the County. This
unregulated land disposal could potentially cause some problems. No
authorized composting sites available to the public exist in Saline County.
Public and private entities in Saline County have cooperated in recent years
in public education efforts related to mulching/composting. These efforts
have shown some success, but enhanced programs may be in order.
17
6. Wastewater Sludge - The current system of primarily agricultural disposal,
supplemented by use as landfill cover is satisfactory. Both disposal methods
are highly regulated by KDHE.
7. Waste Sludge - Disposal by drying and then disposing by agriculture land use
is an effective and satisfactory system from a solid waste management
standpoint.
8. Used Tires - The current system of tire disposal is a combination of private
tire businesses taking used tires on trade-in, as well as acceptance at a
separate user fee at the landfill. The city annually takes proposals from
KDHE-Iicensed disposal firms/areas. All ultimate disposal from the landfill .
area is by these firms through processing, incineration or monofilling. No
used tires are disposed of in the landfill in Saline County. No substantial
illegal tire disposal sites are known to exist in Saline County. Some
miscellaneous small-scale tire disposal, e.g. roadside dumping, is a concern.
D. EVALUATION OF MISCELLANEOUS CURRENT SYSTEM IMPACTS
In reviewing the current solid waste system in Saline County, some
miscellaneous concerns are evident. Specifically, the Solid Waste Committee noted
what appears to be a relatively significant increase in improper disposal of solid
waste items. This includes: dumping of individual items along roadsides; larger
scale dumping at isolated locations throughout the county; accumulation of a variety
of waste items at individual residential lots in cities; and accumulations of specific
items such as used tires and CFC-containing appliances.
It appears this area of concern is one of the unintended consequences of a more
complex and regulated solid waste systems. State and federal law and regulation
have made general solid waste disposal far more expensive than in the past.
Regulations on specific items such tires and CFC appliances make those even more
costly to dispose. A certain portion of any population is likely to respond to these
18
higher costs by inappropriate efforts at cost avoidance. Those inappropriate efforts
can either be "passive" or "active". Passive cost avoidance would most often involve
simply allowing items to accumulate on your property. Active avoidance would often
involve illegal dumping of waste items, regardless of quantity.
Certain strategies currently in use or under review can help in mitigating these
unintended community consequences. Those strategies should be included in any
new solid waste management plan.

CHAPTER FIVE
REGIONALlZA TION
Salina/Saline County serves as a regional center for north central Kansas for a
broad variety of services, including retail, manufacturing employment, health care,
government agencies, finance, etc. As such, it is logical to pursue a role as a
regional center for solid waste management. As solid waste regulations develop and
are implemented, landfill ownership and operation becomes quickly financially
infeasible in smaller counties. Most smaller landfills have closed or are in the
process of closing.
In June 1993, the Salina City Commission established a policy on acceptance of
out-of-county solid waste at the city-owned landfill serving Saline County. The City
was attempting to balance the role it might logically play in the region as a landfill
site with the necessity to protect the interests of the local citizenry by not depleting
valuable landfill space and landfill life unreasonably by overextending current use.
The City determined that a reasonable regional role should focus on cooperation
with those neighboring counties with which we already have a direct affiliation and
relationship. Within certain guidelines, the City would enter into interlocal
agreements with any county in the North Central Regional Planning Commission
(NCRPC) area to allow use of the landfill located in Saline County for disposal of
municipal solid waste generated within those counties.
In April 1994, the City entered into interlocal agreements with five counties to
allow the disposal of solid waste at the landfill. In 1995, one additional county was
added by interlocal agreement.
All these interlocal agreements have an ending date of April 1997. After over
eighteen months of participation, the tonnage from regional counties has not
exceeded the predictions made at the time of interlocal agreement signing.
Operational negatives have been minimal to date. Revenues generated from out-of-
20
county solid waste disposal at the landfill have enabled the city to meet operating
and capital needs with a lower tipping fee rate than would otherwise be necessary.
The counties involved have also been able to close their existing landfills in
compliance with federal law, and provide solid waste disposal for their counties at a
cost far lower than alternatives.
The City of Salina (for Saline County) chose not to pursue a full regional solid
waste plan with the NCRPC counties, due primarily to a great difference in needs for
urbanized Saline County. However, the Saline County Plan should include
continued regional landfill and related services agreements with NCRPC, as well as
ensuring efforts to coordinate with the plans developed by these neighboring
counties. The City should continue to be open, but cautious when considering
accepting new out-of-county waste. So far, the decisions have been good public
policy for Saline County, the region, and the state.

CHAPTER SIX
SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT PLAN RECOMMENDATIONS 1996-2005
The Solid Waste Management Committee is charged with the development and
recommendation of a integrated plan intended to provide a sound and
comprehensive solid waste management system to meet the best public interest of
the residents of Saline County. Based on its twenty-four months of review and
analysis, the following plan outline is recommended.
GENERAL POLICY
The overall solid waste system currently in place in Saline County effectively
provides the basis for the optimal system. The current system need not be
replaced nor changed drastically. The plan is designed to strengthen those
areas in the current system identified as somewhat deficient or weak.
Key components of the solid waste management system are:
1. The City of Salina continues to serve as the lead agency for solid waste
management. The City owns and operates the existing landfill and its
associated components, e.g. HHW facility. The City has the largest
residential sanitation collection firm in the County. The City has adequate
professional staff and resources available to effectively manage the system.
2. The combined public/private nature of the system continues to serve Saline
County well. Specifically, private business service provision can be
complementary to local government-provided services in essential areas.
The operation of a landfill is an essential component and should continue to
be local government owned and operated. Similarly, local government can
provide a baseline of residential collection, while still allowing private
businesses to offer residential collection services. The enhanced
competition provides public safeguards and benefits.
22
3. New solid waste services and those currently provided by the private sector
will be presumed to be provided most optimally by the private sector unless
evidence is presented indicating that is not the case. For example, recycling
services are currently private sector provided. Without good cause, new
government services in this area should be a second choice. First option
should be to provide support and assistance to private sector providers to
help them enhance their services to meet Saline County solid waste system
needs and goals.
4. The Solid Waste Management Committee should be focal point for long-term
planning and goal identification.
The following areas are identified as system weaknesses, with plan
recommendations for improvement:
1. Storage; Residential trash carts
Weakness: Inability to structure collection rate system based on weight of
generated waste by each home.
Plan Strateay: Monitor technology improvements which may allow scales on
packer truck with accurate/dependable billing and variable rate capabilities.
Timetable: 1996-2000
2. Landfill; Construction and Demolition Waste
Weakness: No area in Saline County except full Subtitle D City landfill for legal
disposal of C&D waste. 1994 C&D volume into landfill: 14,000 tons; unknown
amounts disposed of elsewhere. No permitted location exists for commercial
brush and tree disposal.
Plan Strategy: Plan and construct construction and demolition area at present
23
landfill site. Implement differential rate system based on costs.
Timetable: 1997
3. Residential Recycling -
Weakness: Potential lack of continuity due to use only of private sector
businesses. Businesses face financial pressures due to unstable markets,
limiting ability to invest.
Plan Strategy: Develop and implement a limited "venture grant" system for private
sector recycling businesses. Infrastructure equipment to enhance productivity
and ability to manage recyclable wastes, including organic (green waste/yard
waste).
Timetable: 1996-1997
4. General Recycling
Weakness: Accuracy of data.
Plan Strateav: Contract for professional analysis of waste stream, current
recycling rates, etc. Use this information to develop other reduction strategies
with businesses, government, institutions, etc. and to evaluate the current
community success level at recycling.
Timetable: 1996-1997
5. Residential Recycling
Weakness: Lack of information as to citizen knowledge, attitudes and future
program support in this area.
24
Plan StrateQY: Contract for professional citizen survey to assist in
planning/pol icy-making.
Timetable: 1996
6. Residential Recycling
Weakness: Limited private sector resources and programs available for public
education/information in homes, schools, etc.
Plan Strategy: Continue to develop and implement educational materials and
programs. Use of solid waste system revenues and available community
resources.
Timetable: 1996-1997
7. Business/Industry Recycling
Weakness: Lack of information to assist business.
Plan Strategy: Provide locally a focused business education system on how to
identify opportunities for cutting business costs by waste reduction, diversion,
recycling. Work in conjunction with Chamber of Commerce, universities, etc.
Consider applications for venture grants.
Timetable: 1997
8. White Goods
Weakness: CFC (freon) removal is costly and confusing.
Plan Strategy: Explore cost-effective alternatives to CFC evacuation prior to
landfill site drop-off. Determine if City can contract for services at landfill site.
25
.'
Evaluate costs and benefits. Implement if found cost-effective.
Timetable: 1996
9. Yard Waste/Green Waste-Residential
Weakness: Continued disposal of extensive quantities of yard waste in landfill.
Plan Strateay:
(a) Develop separate special pickup programs for yard waste only. For
disposal at possible alternate site; not landfill.
(b) Implement major new education efforts to encourage/advise homeowners of
yard waste facts and alternatives. Include: access TV; targeted written
materials; speakers; demonstration projects; etc.'
(c) Implement an incentive program for purchase of mulching lawnmowers.
(d) Educate, support and encourage efforts such as Master Composter
Program, compost demonstration sites, etc.
(e) Provide simple backyard compost kits to residents at cost.
(f) Regularly evaluate effectiveness by analyzing home-generated yard waste
volumes at curbside and at landfill. Work closely with collection companies.
(g) Saline County will serve as lead agency in development of a cost-effective
site for organic waste recycling, either operated by county government, or
by the private sector. Development of green waste or a compost site shall
be eligible for a venture grant application. Provide full encouragement to
private sector businesses/developers considering establishing public
compost site.
26
.-
Timetable: 1996-2000
No later than 2000 review effectiveness of all above strategies. If system
weakness is not improved greatly, consider alternate plans, Le. yard waste bans;
central fee-based compost site, etc.
10. Illegal dumping, littering and accumulation of waste items.
Weakness: Current solid waste system tends to lead to cost-avoidance by
individuals, leading to significant community-wide negative consequences.
Plan Strateav:
(a) Continue annual Spring Clean-up (free landfill) Day.
(b) Participate and seek certification in the national Keep America Beautiful
program.
(c) Encourage criminal justice system to address more aggressively the issues of
illegal dumping.
(d) Use portion of solid waste fees transferred to County for roadside clean-up,
illegal dump areas, etc.
(e) Use CFC evacuation system to provide better alternatives in attempt to reduce
dumping/stockpiling of freon-containing appliances as cost-avoidance.
Timetable: 1996-2000
27
.
CHAPTER SEVEN
SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT COMMITTEE
The original Solid Waste Management Committee (S.W.M.C.) was appointed in 1994
as an ad hoc committee to assist in the development of this county-wide solid waste plan.
With the plan completion, a Solid Waste Management Committee should be designated
as a standing committee with duties and responsibilities in accordance with state law and
regulation. Since the city of Salina is the designated planning agency, the committee
should be a city standing committee, with an appointment system comparable to other city
boards and commissions, e.g. Planning Commission; Parks and Recreation Board. First
appointments to the S. W. M. C. should be no later than August 1996. Current members of
the S.W.M.C. should receive preference if interested in a standing committee
appointment. A Salina City Commissioner should serve as a liaison to the committee.
The Salina City Manager and Saline County Administrator (or their designees), should
attend all meetings. The city of Salina should provide staffing and administrative support.
1. S.W.M.C. make-up:
13 members
8 City of Salina appointees
3 nominated by Saline County (representing unincorporated areas)
2 nominated by Saline County (representing 3rd class cities)
2. Terms of office:
4 City appointees serve a 3 year term
4 City appointees serve a 4 year term
1 County (unincorporated) appointee serves a 3 year term
2 County (unincorporated) appointees serve a 4 year term
1 County (3rd class cities) appointee serves a 3 year term
1 County (3rd class cities) appointee serves a 4 year term
3. Meeting Requirements:
Semi-annual scheduled meetings
September (review status of the plan and current projects)
28
.
March (review year-end statistics, prepare annual report, current year plans,
recommend solid waste plan changes and possible city/county budget items)
In addition, the S.W.M.C. would meet in special sessions as needed to review specific
solid waste management issues or programs as they arise throughout the year.
29
..
CHAPTER EIGHT
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES 1996-2005
A. Ootimal System -
To provide an integrated plan for the optimal feasible solid waste management system,
given the unique characteristics of the county. An optimal system takes into account
existing systems in place, cost effectiveness, safety and environmental issues (short
and long term), citizen satisfaction, regional issues and consistent public policy. The
system must meet or exceed all applicable federal and state laws, regulations and
standards.
B. Waste ReductionlDiversion -
While burial at the existing solid waste landfill remains the primary ultimate disposal
method for municipal solid waste during this planning period and beyond, the
Committee strongly believes that a significant amount of waste going into the landfill
could be more appropriately disposed of, processed or re-used elsewhere. Therefore,
a primary objective of this Solid Waste Management Plan is to reduce the tonnage of
solid waste disposed of in the City's "Subtitle 0" line landfill cells by 15% in the ten
year timeframe of the plan.
Current annual (1995) landfill tonnage = 90000 tons
Predicted 2005 tonnage at 1 % annual community growth rate = 100.000 tons
S.W.M. Plan Goal for Year 2005 = 85 000 tons
30
CHAPTER NINE
FINANCING
The current method of financing the solid waste management system in Saline County
is through the use of user fees. No Salina City or Saline County taxes are used for the
solid waste programs. Commercial, industrial and residential collection, whether by public
or private operations, is fee based.
Beyond the costs of collection, the primary funding source for public sector operations
in solid waste management is the tipping fee at the Salina landfill. Programs funded
through these user fees include:
(a) solid waste landfill planning, construction and operation in accordance with
state and federal law, including all environmental requirements;
(b) public education programs;
(c) pilot programs for waste diversion/reduction, e.g. master composter program,
mulching mower rebate program;
(d) white goods; used tires;
(e) free landfill day;
(f) household hazardous waste programs and facility; and
(g) City/County solid waste interlocal agreement to reduce impacts on county
roads, etc.
The city of Salina in 1996 began the earmarking of $1 per ton of refuse disposed of at
the landfill, specifically for waste management, diversion and reduction programs. This is
estimated to bring in $90,000 per year. .
For 1996, the landfill tipping fee is $20.50 per ton, with specific portions of the fee
earmarked as follows:
31
Landfill Operating and Capital Expenses ..................... $16.00 perton
State Fee. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1.00 perton
County Interlocal Agreement Impact Fee ....................... 2.00 per ton
Waste Management, reduction, diversion programs. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1.00 per ton
Landfill post-closure reserve. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .50 oer ton
$20.50 total
The cost of meeting federal and state mandated requirements has caused dramatic
escalation in landfill tipping fees in recent years. To meet those requirements as a first
priority, and to provide for programs and projects either in place or included in the short-
term in the solid waste plan will require even higher tipping fees. The city of Salina
administration anticipates landfill tipping fees to increase to $30 per ton by 1998, at which
point they are more likely to stabilize as the transition to full compliance with federal/state
environmental requirements is advanced, and planned system improvements are
accomplished.
The use of landfill user fees instead of property taxes or other similar financing
mechanisms continues to be both equitable and effective. These funds should be used to
"leverage" private investment or any available grant funds when possible in order to better
meet the goals of the solid waste management plan.
Planning for solid waste management clearly must also recognize that landfill tonnage
charges are ultimately paid for by residents and businesses, as they are passed through
by sanitation haulers. A balance must be maintained between investing in long-term
beneficial programs and maintaining a fiscally sound system with reasonable costs.
Landfill tipping fees in Saline County currently compare favorably to those of similar
systems in other communities. Efforts should be made to continue to meet goals while
keeping fees in line with comparable communities.
32

CHAPTER TEN
SUMMARY AND CONCLUSIONS
As previously notes, the current solid waste management system in place in Saline
county is fundamentally sound and provides a strong foundation on which to build for the
future, Unlike many communities who are dealing with landfill closures, siting a new
landfill, or actually beginning a solid waste system, the challenges presented to this
County are "system enhancements," Various enhancements and improvements are
outlined within this Solid Waste Management Plan,
The plan to be effective must be considered a flexible and "living" document, not just
placed on the shelf or simply filed with the state government to meet their requirements,
The plan should be formally reviewed annually, with changes made as required, The five
year review should be a major reevaluation of goals and facts, with significant plan
adjustments if needed, The five year review should involve significant status reporting to
the community, with public involvement in the review, including, but not limited to the
required public hearing,
In addition to the plan, there should be developed regular action plans to ensure
implementation of strategies and progress toward goals, The S,W,M. Committee should
be involved in development of action plans and receive reports on the status of all areas
of the S,W,M,P, and action plans,
All segments of the Saline County community will need to actively take their share of
the responsibility if any optimal solid waste system is to be achieved, meeting the
currently established and future goals, For example:
1, Salina Citv Government - Will continue to take lead agency responsibility as both the
designated planning agency and a major provider of solid waste services, e,g, landfill,
HHW, etc, By far, the majority of action plan items and responsibilities will be required
of the city of Salina, In addition, they will be responsible for specific solid waste issues
arising within their corporate limits,
2, Other Cities - The five other cities in Saline County will continue to be directly
responsible for solid waste management issues in their communities, consistent with
the county-wide plan and goals.
3, Saline County - The county government has a somewhat more limited than usual, but
33
.'
;,'
very significant direct role in the implementation and success of the Solid Waste
Management Plan. The County is lead agency on two specific issues:
(a) action to more effectively address the problem of illegal dumping in rural areas,
e.g. public education, analysis and record keeping, timely clean-up, enforcement
of laws and prosecution of offenders; and,
(b) development of a cost-effective disposal site for organic wastes. This may be
either government operated or private sector owned and operated.
The County also retains direct responsibility for the variety of Solid Waste issues
involving unincorporated sections of the county, including rural subdivisions, individual
farm/home sites, and other non-urban areas.
4. Business Sector - The vast majority of solid waste in the county is not residential
waste. Significant opportunities exist to better manage commercial, institutional and
industrial solid waste in this community through waste reduction, diversion and
recycling programs, With the educational, non-mandatory approach preferred in the
plan, business organization and cooperation is essential to meeting plan goals.
In addition, the plan's preferred approach is that most new or expanded programs in
solid waste should be private sector led, with government encouragement and support.
Business leadership and entrepreneurship is required.
5. Private Citizens - Great successes in meeting plan goals will come as more citizens
take personal responsibility in recognizing their own impact on the future of this
community during the coming ten years, With better public education, cooperation and
active participation in voluntary programs for waste management, we will be able to
meet our objectives without governmental mandates and greater regulation.
Enhancing the positives for the future (recycling, composting, source reduction), as
well as minimizing negatives (illegal dumping, trash accumulation, improper disposal)
is clearly a matter best addressed by greater individual responsibility, coupled with
organized support and good alternatives.
The 1996 Solid Waste Management Plan must be a beginning, not a conclusion.

RESOLUTION NUMBER 93-4605
A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO ENTER INTO
NEGOTIATIONS WITH MEMBER COUNTIES OF THE NORTH CENTRAL REGIONAL
PLANNING COMMISSION TOWARD INTERLOCAL AGREEMENTS FOR THE
ACCEPTANCE OF SOLID WASTE FOR DISPOSAL IN THE SALINA LANDFILL.
WHEREAS, federal legislation contained in 40 CFR 258, commonly
referred to Subtitle D, outlines stringent requirements for design and
operation of municipal solid waste landfills (MSWLFs) in order to protect human
health and the environment; and
WHEREAS, Subtitle D contains certain compliance deadlines which
must be met by all current owners and operators of MSWLFs; and
WHEREAS, state legislation contained in KSA 65-3401 et. seq. outlines
state of Kansas policy and requirements for the comprehensive management of
solid waste within the State; and

difficult and costly challenges for solid waste management in smaller rural
counties currently operating MSWLFs; and
WHEREAS, there is established under state law the North Central
Regional Planning Commission (NCRPC), of which the city of Salina is an active
member; and
WHEREAS, certain NCRPC member counties have approached the City
of Salina, individually and through the NCRPC, inquiring as to the possibility
of disposal of municipal solid waste (MSW) at the Salina landfill if they
decide to close their own MSWLFs due to the extensive Subtitle D requirements;
and
WHEREAS, regionalization of solid waste planning is strongly
encouraged by the State of Kansas; and
WHEREAS, City of Salina staff and consultant studies have determined
that additions of up to approximately 115 tons per day of MSW above that

THE SALINE COUNTY COMMUNITY
Saline County encompasses 719.5 square miles in north-central Kansas, less than 100 miles from
the Nebraska border and 80 miles from the geographical center of the United States. It is the tenth
most populous of Kansas counties, with a 1990 population of 49,301. Salina, the county seat, with
a 1990 population of 42,303, is the seventh most populous city in Kansas. Schilling Air Base, dosed
in 1963, swelled the county population to over 54,000 in 1960. Saline County is often called the ''Tri-
Rivers" area, referring to the confluence of the Saline and Solomon Rivers with the Smoky Hill River,
which becomes the Kansas River fifty miles to the east at Fort Riley.

Local Governments and Taxing Units
Beside county govemment, over 47 govemments and taxing districts levied property taxes in
portions of Saline County for the 1996 budget year, including: Saline County, 6 cities, 18 townships,
5 school districts, 9 fire districts, 4 cemeteries, 2 public libraries and an airport authority. The
districts formed a total of 84 separate taxing units, which is defined as an area of land subject to a
unique set of taxing jurisdictions.
The Board of County Commissioners
The Board of County Commissioners consists of three members, with one member elected from
each of the three commission districts divided equally on the basis of population. Four-year terms
of office are staggered so that no more than two commissioners are elected at any general election.
Commissioners are elected on a partisan basis.

Salina Area Businesses Involved in Recycling and Waste Diversion.
City of Salina, Kansas
May 14, 1996
Venture Grant Program
The Saline County Solid Waste Management Committee is nearing completion of
the 1996-2005 Solid Waste Plan for Salina/Saline County. One of their
recommendations has been to strongly encourage a private sector approach to many of
the issues involved in recycling, waste reduction and diversion of waste from the landfill.
In order to meet the proposed goals of waste reduction at the landfill in coming
years, a variety of strategies have been developed. One of those strategies is the use
of a .venture grant" type of program primarily to assist private sector recycling efforts.
Under this proposed program, a business such as yours could apply to the city for a
one-time grant of funds to partially pay for equipment which would enhance your
productivity in recycling, composting or a similar waste reduction area, and which would
lead to greater diversion of waste that is currently going to the landfill. Companies may
also apply for partial funding of efforts to reduce their own waste which goes to the
landfill.
The city of Salina 1996 budget contains some limited amount of funds to start
such a grant program this year. The source ofthe funds is landfill tipping fees, not
general taxes.
We could use your input in thinking about how this program could be structured to
gain maximum public advantage and meet its goals of enhancing productive diversion of
waste from the landfill. Later in 1996, we expect to have the draft of a grant program,
with applications and decisions on grants within this year.
