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 on June 3, 1996.
The City of Salina has been designated as the Solid Waste Planning Authority for
Saline County. This designation was made in January 1994 througlh an Interlocal
Agreement (Exhibit A) between the City of Salina and Saline County, plJrsuant 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
2000 Census, Saline County's population totaled 53,597 with approximately 85% of that
population located within the city limits of Salina (45,679). It is expected that that trend
will continue, though continued growth in unincorporated areas is notød. Population
growth rates for both the City of Salina and Saline County have increaseKJ in the 1990s.
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-maintainled 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
14,000 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 and institutional uses
occupying another 25%. Industrial uses occupy approximately 600 acre's within the city
(5%).
2
A significant land use factor in Saline County is the area immediately' adjacent to the
Salina City limits, used for industrial purposes. The extraterritorial ar,ea 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 cropland. 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 1990-2000. 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 urban 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 2000-2005 is subject to debate. The growth
rate from 1990-2000 was 8% or a little less than 1 % per year, slightly lower than the
rate predicted in the 1991 City Comprehensive Plan. However, the population growth
rate is likely to remain in a range of 5% to 1 % per year. Such growth rates are
3
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. City Sanitation customers are provided with a 90-gallon refuse cart for the
disposal of household residential trash. These containers are collected
once a week.
Since 1998, City Sanitation customers have had the option to obtain a 60-
gallon yard waste cart to segregate their grass clippings, leaves, brush,
small branches, and other yard waste from their trash. For a one-time fee
of $16, the City has been able to provide these containers with assistance
of the Solid Waste Venture Grant money. The purpose of these containers
in addition to making trash disposal more convenient, allows the City to
segregate out yard waste so it can be taken to a composting facility to be
reused as opposed to being buried in the landfill.
b.
Private collection companies offer various collection options. 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.
5
3.
Other Incorporated Cities
Individual city, county and state laws and regulations effectively govern waste
storage to maintain health and nuisance prevention standards.
B. COLLECTION
1. Within City of Salina Limits
2.
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 Engineering and
General Services Department. The Sanitation Division offers refuse service
on a user fee basis to one, two or three family residentiall dwellings. In
addition to weekly refuse cart pickup, the City also offers special pickup
service for other bulky household waste. They also providE! 60-gallon yard
waste carts for grass clippings, leaves, small branches, and brush. The
City of Salina competes directly with four private hauling firms for
residential collection customers. Of the 18,523 (approx.) housing units in
Salina, the City Sanitation Department provides service to approximately
13,626 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.
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
6
on their own property.
b. Commercial/Industrial - Businesses or property owners contract with
licensed private haulers for collection.
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 land1111, constructed
originally in 1974. The City owns and operates this Subtitle D approved landfill
located off Burma Road, west of Salina. This landfill has recE~ived extensive
study and investment in the 1990s. Life expectancy of the landfill is 97 years
(2092) in the currently permitted area. The City owns 13xtensive land
surrounding the disposal area itself. The landfill has excellen1~ transportation
access from all points within Saline County. The landfill is totailly supported by
user feeltipping 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. In
our Community we have several general recycling businesses that accept a
broad variety of materials on a consistent basis. One firm is currently involved
7
in a small scale pilot curbside recycling program in Salina. Currently, with the
exception of yardltree waste, no public entities are involved direc~ly in recycling
programs. The City of Salina does extensive recycling public information.
Some commercial/industrial waste haulers currently separate significant
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 collectE:!d at the Salina
landfill. It is operated by the Sanitation Division of the City's Engineering and
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 and "white good" 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 - Most yard waste/green waste ge!nerated within
Saline County is diverted to Kanza Organics, located at 600 S. Lightville Road
in Saline County. The City diverts about 3,000 tons of material (!~rass clippings,
leaves, brush, small branches, garden waste) each year. About half of all
material collected from the City is collected in their yard waste carts. The other
half is collected in trash bags. Some grass clippings and miscellaneous yard
waste from homes is mixed in with regular household trash or by special pickup.
8
However, this amount from City Sanitation customers is very low, between 3-
5%. Private residential haulers will collect yard waste. Yard waste collected by
sanitation firms is currently disposed of with household waste in the landfill.
Some mowing/landscaping services bag grass clippings and dispose of them.
Most appears to be disposed of on private property at various unknown
locations in the County.
Professional tree trimming/cutting services most often chip the tree waste and
either makes it available for re-use or dispose of it on private property.
However, some take this tree waste to Kanza Organics to be rE~cycled.
Approximately 215 tons of yardllandscaping waste is disposed of' annually at the
landfill. This is down from 674 tons in 1996. This number indudes 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.
The City of Salina offers an opportunity for residents to drop off their yard waste
free of charge and to pick up free wood chips if they choose to do so. They call
this event which takes place for several days in the spring and fall "Free Yard
Waste Day". This gives the City the opportunity to get rid of wood chips and to
9
help clean up neighborhoods.
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. The City offers a mulching
mower rebate program which provides a $25 rebate to those that purchase a
mulching mower and a $10 rebate to those who purchase a mulching mower kit.
By encouraging the mulching of grass, the Landfill has seen a reduction in the
amount of grass clippings disposed, and the City Sanitation collection
operations has seen a reduction in the amount of grass clippin!gs collected for
recycling.
6. Wastewater Sludge - Solids from the City of Salina Wastewater Treatment Plant
are processed and generally made available for use on agricultural land in
accordance with KDHE and EPA regulations.
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 a portion of this sludge on a!~riculture land.
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 for monofilling.
9. Abandoned Vehicles - Saline County does not appear to generate an unusually
large quantity of abandoned vehicles. Numerous existing storalge 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
10
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 pestil~des are used.
Best management practices are recommended and known, &;Ind 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 recently completed to collect old or
banned agriculture pesticides. If empty containers are triple rinsl:KI, 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 appêuent problems
exist. Education on proper disposal is important.
14. Lead Acid Batteries - Automobile batteries are accepted for recyGling at various
locations within the County. No apparent disposal problems exist.
15. Medical Wastes - are "those solid waste materials that are potentially capable
of causing disease or injury and which are generated in connection with human
11
animal care through inpatient and outpatient services." K.A.R. 28-29-27.
Medical waste has been regulated by RCRA, Subtitle J, since 1988. Kansas
statutes and regulations also specifically deal with the special halzards posed by
medical waste. Medical waste must be isolated from other solid wastes, and
requires separate handling if sent to a transfer station. To dispose of medical
waste at a municipal solid waste landfill requires a plan for doing so in a manner
which will not pose a risk to the health and safety of the public or environment
and approval from the Secretary of KDHE.
In Saline County, medical waste is disposed of by means of three different
processes. The first is by incineration at the local hospital, the second is
collection by solid waste haulers in Red Bags (red colored plastiG bags for quick
identification by solid waste handlers) and sent to the localland111l, and the third
is collection by a major national solid waste hauler who disposes of this material
outside the county. Some doctors, medical clinics, dentist offices, veterinarians,
and the hospital use a combination of these disposal methods. Some wastes
generated at these facilities that pose no health or safety hazard, are disposed
of by means of inclusion with the regular solid waste, when doing so is in
accordance with Federal and/or State Regulations.
At the City of Salina Landfill, private haulers bring medical waste into the facility
in Red Bags. Landfill personnel record in a log book the company that is
transporting the waste, the location where this material was generated, and the
weight or number of bags brought in. For those Red Bags brought in by the
hospital, a GPS location is established and recorded. Landfill personnel direct
the contractor to the dump face where a hole is pushed open for the Red Bags.
These bags are immediately covered up so as not to mix with the regular solid
waste.
16. Industrial Waste - Industrial solid waste is defined in K.A.R. 28-29-03 (q), as
12
"solid waste resulting from manufacturing and industrial proceSSE~S which are not
suitable for discharge to a sanitary sewer or treatment in a community sewage
treatment plant. Industrial solid wastes may include: mining wastes from the
extraction, beneficiation and processing of ores and minerals unless those
materials are returned to the mine site; fly ash, bottom ash, slag, and flue gas
emission control waste generated primarily from the combustion of coal or other
fossil fuels; and cement kiln dust."
The disposal of industrial solid wastes is regulated by K.A.R. 28-29-108 r 12 &
13. These regulations require that the owner or operator of eac:h MSW landfill:
A. Maintain a log of commercial or industrial solid wastes received. This
log shall indicate the source and quantity of waste, the disposal
location, and clearly delineate on a site map thE~ locations and
boundaries of the disposal area.
B. Sludges, industrial solid wastes or special wastes, shall not be
disposed in a MSWLF until KDHE:
(1) has been notified; and
(2) has issued a disposal authorization including specific
arrangements for handling of the waste.
In Saline County, all industrial waste collection is performed by private solid
waste haulers. Most of the waste generated in Saline County is disposed of at
the City of Salina Landfill. Some industrial wastes generated here are
transported by major national solid waste haulers to locations both within the
state as well as outside of Kansas. In addition, there are companies that come
into Saline County that provide recycling service for both industrial and
commercial operations to help handle their solvents, paints, pants cleaners, and
various special wastes.
13
The City of Salina Landfill accepts various types of industrial wastes such as:
food waste, various glass, corrugated and kraft paper, clean wood, various paper
products, polyethylene film, various plastics, ferrous metal, tE~xtiles, rubber,
leather, aluminum scrap, news print, concrete, dry sludge from car washes,
foundry sand, and agricultural wastes.
Industrial waste that is currently disposed of within the City Landfill that requires
a state authorization number is given special handling by landfill per~)onnel. Data is
recorded in a log book at the time of disposal which includes information on the
generator, hauler, amount, date of disposal, and the GPS disposalloc:ation along the
dump face. Landfill personnel then directs the contractor to the dump face where a
hole is pushed open and these materials are immediately covered up so as not to mix
with the regular solid waste. Examples of this regulated industrial waste which is
disposed of at the City landfill includes: asbestos, fuel contaminated soils, dried filter
press sludges, metal dust from plasma cuttings, food additives and flour processing
by-products, along with industrial manufacturing glass.
In the case of fuel contaminated soils, landfill personnel conduct aeration by
windrowing the soil and tuming it over periodically to eliminate volatile hydrocarbons.
Once this process has been completed, the soil can be used as cover material along
the dump face.
14
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 efficienGY 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 comrrercial/industrial
use seem to meet the needs for aesthetics, health and nuisance minimization.
B. COLLECTION EVALUATION
The collection systems throughout Saline County are based (In 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 hi~gher 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 one trash truck following each other down
the same street, each with employees picking up refuse from only its own customers.
15
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 distémce. 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 be~ing the major
maintenance and/or reconstruction of primary transportation routE~S 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.
2. Recycling - The current system of primarily private sector recycling appears to
16
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
(j) Tires
(k) YardlTree Waste
(I) Abandoned Vehicles
(m) Wooden Pallets
(n) Ferrous/Nonferrous Metals
(0) Concrete
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 managE~ment system.
17
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 available for public education,
information and promotion of recycling may be somewhat limited.
An additional weakness in the private business approach is the ~~reater difficulty
in gathering accurate data on recycling. Data gathering currently relies on
accurate voluntary reporting by private businesses. 'Nhile 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 remained relatively flat with a slight decrease in landfill tipping fees from $28
per ton to $27 per ton over the past five years. 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 separatin~l/collecting the
recyclables, reducing their landfill costs and/or offsetting costs; by sale of the
recyclables, particularly corrugated containers. Business 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.
18
3. Household Hazardous Waste - The current HHW system is effident, 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 wastle 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 avalilability 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, inc:onvenient 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 undercuttin~ their prices or
effectively taking them out of this portion of their business.
19
5. Yard Waste/Green Waste - The current system of management of these waste
products does an effective job of removing public sector aeneri3ted 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 some'#hat 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 Ié:mdfill in Saline
County, some residents continue in "bagging" their grass. The!ir private 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. City Sanitation customers have some
additional options. They can purchase for a one-time fee of $16, a yard waste
cart '#here materials such as grass clippings, leaves, brush, small branches, and
garden waste, etc. can be disposed. There is no additional charge for this
service. These materials are diverted from the landfill to a compost recycling
location. If City Sanitation customers '#ho do not have a yard \N'ê:lste cart choose
to bag leaves rather than wait for public "vacuum" pickup, those leaves are
collected with other yard waste and transported to Kanza Organics.
Lawn mowing businesses in Saline County often bag the grass, 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.
Public and private entities in Saline County have cooperated in recent years in
20
public education efforts related to mulching/composting. These efforts have
shown some success, but enhanced programs may be in order.
6. Wastewater Sludge - The current system of primarily agricultural disposal, is
satisfactory. This disposal method is highly regulated by KDHE.
7. Used Tires - The current system of tire disposal is a combination of private tire
businesses taking used tires on trade-in, as well as acceptanoe at a separate
user fee at the landfill. All ultimate disposal from the landfill area is by these
firms through processing, incineration or monofilling. No used tin3s 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.
8. Medical Waste - Although the current system of medical waste management
within the County appears satisfactory, the Solid Waste Management Committee
will continue to study possible alternatives to the current system. With the
possibility of stronger air quality regulations being enforced by the E.P.A., it is
possible that this may have an impact on our local incineration operations at the
hospital. Local officials will monitor the development and possible impact of
these changes.
9. Industrial Waste - The disposal of industrial waste within the County is handled
very effectively. The generators of these wastes have chosen various means of
disposing of their industrial wastes. Their choices have included: recycling,
disposal at the City landfill, disposal outside of the County and outside of
Kansas. Corporate decision making and economics playa lar£ e role in which
option is decided upon.
Current programs adequately address this solid waste issue. The Solid Waste
Management Committee along with local officials will continue to monitor this
area.
21
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 regulations
have made general solid waste disposal far more expensive than in the past.
Regulations on specific items such as tires and CFC appliances make those even more
costly to dispose. A certain portion of any population is likely to respond to these 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 woulld 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.
22
CHAPTER FIVE
REGIONALIZA 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 rol,e as a regional
center for solid waste management. As solid waste regulations develop and are
implemented, landfill ownership and operation becomes quickly financ:ially infeasible
in smaller counties. Most smaller landfills have closed or are in the proc;ess of closing.
The Salina City Commission has established general policies 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 maximiz.ing our landfill
resources and not depleting landfill life unreasonably by overextendin~J current use.
The City determined that a reasonable regional role should focus on cooperation
with those counties with which we already have a direct affiliation and relationship.
Within certain guidelines, the City would enter into interlocal agreements with counties
within our regional trade/service area to allow use of the landfill located in Saline
County for disposal of municipal solid waste generated within those counties.
Currently, the City has interlocal agreements with four counties to allow the disposal
of solid waste at the landfill. The total tonnage generated from these counties has
accounted for approximately 6% of our total annual tonnage at our landfill.
The City of Salina (for Saline County) chose not to pursue a full regional solid waste
plan with the North Central Regional Planning Commission (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 rE~lated services
agreements with NCRPC and other counties within our service area, as well as ensuring
efforts to coordinate with the plans developed by these counties. The City should
23
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.
24
CHAPTER SIX
SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT PLAN RECOMMENDATIONS ~~OO2-2006
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. 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 thm;e 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.
25
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 go()d 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 weaknesse's, 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 StrateQY: Monitor technology improvements which may allow scales on packer
truck with accurate/dependable billing and variable rate capabilities.
Timetable: 2002-2006
2. Landfill; Construction and Demolition Waste
Weakness: Limited area in Saline County except full Subtitle D City landfill for legal
disposal of C&D waste. The 2000 C&D volume into landfill: 6,965 tons; unknown
amounts disposed of elsewhere. One other location exists for commercial brush and
tree disposal. That is Kanza Organics, which produces compost and wood chips.
26
Plan Strate(w: Monitor customer demands to construct a construction and
demolition area at present landfill site. Other C&D landfills in surrounding Counties
are currently utilized by contractors in Saline County. Implement differential rate
system based on costs.
Timetable: 2002-2006
3. General Recycling/Diversion
Weakness: Profitability.
Plan Strate(w: Continue to provide Solid Waste Venture Gralnt funding for
community capital equipment, one-time programs, and/or public education.
Consider funding efforts to develop other reduction strategies wiith businesses,
government, institutions, etc. and to evaluate the current community success level
at recycling. Continue to provide the Mulching Mower Rebate Program to
encourage recycling grass clippings back into yards. Also, continue to provide yard
waste carts to those City Sanitation customers that would like to obtain one in order
to continue to divert yard waste away from the landfill to a recyclin~J facility.
Timetable: 2002-2006
4. 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 StrateQV: Continue to provide a limited "Venture Grant" Program for
public/private sector solid waste interests. Infrastructure equipme!nt to enhance
productivity and ability to manage recyclable wastes, including organic (green
27
waste/yard waste), and/or funding to support public education or waste reduction
programs.
Timetable: 2002-2006
5. Residential Recycling
Weakness: Lack of information as to citizen knowledge, attitudes and future program
support in this area.
Plan Strate~w: Contract for professional citizen survey to be conduc:ted in order to
assist in determining citizen attitudes and the amount of local support for a
community curbside recycling program. Such a survey will aid in planning and
policy making. It is our goal to research the matter, conduct a survey, weigh the
options, and decide on if curbside recycling is right for our Community by the target
date of spring 2003. This would provide advanced notice to budget for the
operational changes in the 2004 City budget. If it is determined that this is not the
right option for us, another waste reduction option will be selected for us to pursue.
Timetable: Spring 2003
6. Residential Recycling
Weakness: Limited private sector resources and programs availnble for public
education/information in homes, schools, etc.
Plan StrateQV: Continue to develop and implement educational materials and
programs. Use of solid waste system revenues and available community resources.
Timetable: 2002-2006
7. Business/Industry Recycling
28
Weakness: Lack of information to assist business.
Plan Strate~w: Provide locally a focused business education proglram 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: 2003
8. White Goods
Weakness: CFC (freon) removal is costly and confusing.
Plan Strate~w: Explore cost-effective alternatives to CFC evacuation. Currently, the
Customer is responsible for CFC removal prior to disposal. Determine if City can
contract for services at landfill site. Evaluate costs and benefits. Implement if found
cost-effective.
Timetable: 2003
9. Yard Waste/Green Waste-Residential
Weakness: Continued disposal of some quantities of yard waste in landfill.
Plan Strate~w:
(a) Implement education efforts to encourage/advise homeowners of yard waste
facts and alternatives. Include: access 1V; targeted written materials;
speakers; demonstration projects; etc.
(b) Continue an incentive program for purchase of mulching lawnrnowers.
29
(c) Educate, support and encourage efforts such as Master Composter Program,
compost demonstration sites, etc.
(d) Provide simple backyard kits to residents at cost.
(e) Regularly evaluate effectiveness by monitoring home-generated yard waste
volumes to measure progress.
Timetable: 2002-2006
No later than 2004 review effectiveness of all above strategies. If system weakness
is not improved greatly, consider alternate plans, i.e. 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 Strateov:
(a) Continue annual Spring and Fall Free Yard Waste Days.
(b) Participate and seek certification in the national Keep Amørica Beautiful
program.
(c) Encourage criminal justice system to address more aggressivelly the issues of
illegal dumping.
(d) Use portion of solid waste fees transferred to County for roadside clean-up,
illegal dump areas, etc.
30
(e) Use CFC evacuation system to provide better alternatives in attempt to reduce
dumping/stockpiling of freon-containing appliances as cost-avoidance.
Timetable: 2002-2006
11. Computer/Electronic Waste
Weakness: At this time, no specific direction has been provided by the Kansas
Department of Health and Environment. This type of waste is acCE!ptable in State
landfills.
Plan StrateQV:
(a) Continue to monitor developments within the State and at thø Federal level
concerning disposal of computer/electronic waste.
(b) Participate in educational opportunities to learn more about the ¡proper disposal
of this type of waste.
(c) If State guidelines change, local disposal policy should be altered to
correspond to State directives.
31
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 has been
designated as a standing committee with duties and responsibilities in accordance with
state law and regulation. Since the City of Salina is the designated pl¡anning 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. 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 proviide 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 are!as)
2 nominated by Saline County (representing 3rd class cities)
2. Terms of office:
8 City appointees serve a 3 year term
3 County (unincorporated) appointee serves a 3 year term
2 County (3rd class cities) appointee serves a 3 year term
3. Meeting Requirements:
In January, the Committee reviews year-end statistics, prepares the annual report,
formalizes current year programs, recommends solid waste plan changes, and
recommends possible city/county budget items.
In August, the Committee reviews status of the plan and current projects. A December
Planning Meeting is held to provide direction for the upcoming year.
32
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,
such as to approve Venture Grant Proposals.
33
CHAPTER EIGHT
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES 2002-2006
A. Optimal System -
To provide an integrated plan for the optimal feasible solid wastle 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 Reduction/Diversion -
While burial at the existing solid waste landfill remains the primary ultimate disposal
method for municipal and 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 D lined landfiill cells by 7.5%
in the five year timeframe of the plan (15% total since the start of this reduction).
Current annual 2001 landfill tonnage = 72.000 tons (Saline County only)
Predicted 2006 tonnage at 1 % annual community growth rate = .76.000 tons
S.W.M. Plan Goal for Year 2006 = 70,000 tons
Note: Total Solid Waste disposed of at the Salina landfill includes some waste from
other counties. This amount is variable, depending on which counties contract, and
which actually use this landfill. Therefore, these tonnages will be tracl~ed by the City
and reported on a regular basis, but not included in the Saline County waste reduction/
diversion goals. The 2001 out-of-county tonnage = 4,000 tons.
34
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 diversionlreduction, e.g. Solid Waste Venture Grant
program and mulching mower rebate program;
(d) white goods; used tires;
(e) free yard waste landfill days;
(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 re~fuse disposed
of at the landfill, specifically for waste management, diversion and reduction programs.
This is estimated to bring in $76,000 per year.
For 2001, the landfill tipping fee was $27.00 per ton, with specific portions of the fee
earmarked as follows:
35
Landfill Operating and Capital Expenses......... ""'" n. ... ............ ... ... 22.50 per ton
State Fee............................................................................... 1.00
County Interlocal Agreement Impact Fee... ... ... ... ... ............ ... ... ..... 2.00
Waste Management, reduction, diversion programs........................ 1.00
Landfill post-closure reserve...... ... ... ... ... ... ... ...... """ ......... ... ... ....-áQ
Total $27.00 per ton
The cost of meeting federal and state mandated requirements has c;3used 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 might require even higher tipping fees. However, the City
of Salina administration anticipates landfill tipping fees to stabilize at $2'? per ton for the
near future and for us to remain in full compliance with federal/state environmental
requirements, as we advance planned system improvements.
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 recogni;z:e 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 compélre 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.
36
CHAPTER TEN
SUMMARY AND CONCLUSIONS
As previously noted, 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 Mure. Unlike many communities who are dealing with landfill closur,es, siting a new
landfill, or actually beginning a solid waste system, the challenges prlesented 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" do(;ument, 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 StcltuS 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 City 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.
37
3. Saline County - The county government has a somewhat more limited than usual,
but 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 dumpin!~ 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 waste~. This may be
either government operated or private sector owned and operé:tted.
The County also retains direct responsibility for the variety of Solid Waste issues
involving unincorporated sections {)f the county, including rural! subdivisions,
individual farmlhome 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 managem49nt, we will be
able to meet our objectives without governmental mandates and greé:tter 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 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 2000 population of 53,597. Salina, the county seat, with a 2000 population
of 45,679, is the eighth most populous city in Kansas. Schilling Air Base, closed
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.

property taxes in portions of Saline County for the 1996 budget year, including:
Salina 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.

SOLID WASTE DIVISION
The City-owned and City-operated Municipal Solid Waste Landfill Facility, located southwest of
Salina on Bunna Road, provides solid waste disposal facilities for Saline County, Ellsworth
County, Lincoln County and Ottawa County.
The State of Kansas administers Federal Environmental Protection Agency landfill regulations.
The Solid Waste Division is solely financed from tipping fees collected from users of the landfill and
income realized from leasing farm land not needed for landfill operations. No tax monies are devoted
to this activity-
The Solid Waste Division supports the City's Household Hazardous Waste (HHW) Program. At the
HHW Facility, all household hazardous waste material received is segregated and stored for pickup and
disposal by a contractor. Funding for venture grant projects in the Salina-Saline County Solid Waste
Plan and maintenance of primary trash hauling route roads in Saline County also comes from landfill
fees.
As a Division of the Utilities Department, the operation is supervised by the Landfill Superintendent,
who is responsible to the Director of Utilities.
Budget Notes
No change in the tipping fee rate is contemplated for 2002

CITY OF SALINA
2001 SOLID WASTE VENTURE GRANT
PROGRAM GUIDELINES
BACKGROUND
The City of Salina / Saline County Solid Waste Management Committee first envisioned a
Solid Waste Venture Grant program in 1995. During the 1996 City budget deliberations (July
1995), the City Commission established and earmarked $1.00 per ton from the tipping fees
at the Salina landfill for the purpose of waste reduction and diversion. Included in the public
purpose goals of the $1.00 per ton fee increase were: public education; recycling program
support; waste reduction efforts and diversion of waste from Salina landfill disposal to other
appropriate locations.
The Solid Waste Management Plan for Saline County was recommended by the
Salina/Saline County Solid Waste Management Committee and adopted by the Salina City
Commission in 1996. The Kansas Department of Health and Environment (KDHE) approved
the local plan in early 1997.
This adopted plan identified use of designated solid waste landfill funds for a "Venture Grant"
program as a strategy to support the plan goals.
APPLICATIONS
Applications can be picked up at the City Clerks Office located at 300 W. Ash St or at the
General Services Office located at 412 E. Ash St, Salina, Kansas.
DEADLINE
All applications are to be sent to the General Services office located at 412 E. Ash St.,
Salina, KS 67401. Deadline for submission is August 2,2001.
AVAILABLE FUNDING
For FY 2001, there will be up to $40,000 available for funding Venture Grants. There will be
only one round of funding for 2001. If additional funds are required to provide grants above
this level, the City Commission has the discretion to expand the ceiling. There is no limit to
anyone applicant on how much money they might receive in grant money. However, partial
awards may be offered to an applicant. Whether all funds are awarded depends on the
quality and benefit of the projects proposed.
ELIGIBILITY
Any Saline County resident or business in the following categories can apply for funding:
For-Profit Companies; Not-For-Profit Groups; and Governmental agencies.
PROJECT TYPES
No grant money will be awarded for operating expenses or for on-going programs. One-time
capital equipment costs or one-time special program costs are the project 1types eligible. In
addition, City Venture Grant funds may be requested to use as part of the "local match" for
a State of Kansas Solid Waste grant. If used as a match for a state grant, the applicant must
provide an equal amount of dollars from their own funds.
MATCHING FUNDS
Applicants are expected to provide a portion of the total dollar cost of their project or
program. There is no minimum match. However, the committee has recommended to the
City Commission funding of projects up to 75% grant on non-yard waste programs and
66.7% grant for yard waste programs, and 90% grant for public education programs.
Amounts proposed by applicants will be considered by the Application Evaluation Team and
the Solid Waste Management Committee. The applicants match should almost always be
in cash. Only in very unusual cases will a non-cash match be considered..
CANCELLATION OR TERMINATION OF GRANT CONTRACT
Any grant may be canceled if the grantee does not accept the grant award within 45 days of
being issued. Grants may be terminated if it is determined that there has beHn no substantial
performance, or there is substantial evidence of fraud, gross abuse or corrupt practices.
FINANCIAL ACCOUNTING AND REPORTING REQUIREMENTS
Grant recipients will be required to present at least one interim and cine final report
accounting for the funds and describing the grant program process. Funds will be disbursed
with retainage and reporting requirements. All applicants must certify that all proposed
activities will be carried out; that all grant money received will be utilized solely for the
purpose for which the grant is intended; that the grant project will be docUlmented for both
accounting and program progress purposes; and, that the documentation will be maintained
and submitted when requested.
EVALUATION OF APPLICATION
An Application Evaluation Team will be set up, including City and County Staff and a sub-
group (maximum 6) from the full Solid Waste Management Committee. This group will
review all applications and make a recommendation to the full Solid Waste Management
Committee in the end of August of this year. The recommendations of the Committee will
then be presented to the City Commissioners for action in September.
EVALUATION CRITERIA
All applications will be measured against established standards to determine which ones
would make the best use of available funds. The criteria that the Committee will base its
decision on are listed as follows:

The City of Salina has authorized the renewal of the mulching mower rebate program for 2002. This program is intended
to provide an incentive to reduce the amount of "yard waste" entering the landfill. The Salina/Saline County Solid Waste
Management Committee will be monitoring the $15,000 designated for this program, which lis derived ITom a $1.00 per
ton tipping fee at the City landfill.
Mulching mowers chop grass clippings and return them to the turf so they do not have to be picked up and bagged. This
reduces the amount of yard waste that is taken to the City Landfill. This in turn saves on landfill space.
This past year we gave rebates for 452 mulching mowers and 2 mulching mower kits. In 2000 we gave out rebates on 610
mowers and 6 kits that had been purchased by Saline County residents.
The amount of the rebate is $25 for a new mulching mower, and $10 for a mulching mower kit. The rebate will be offered
I all Saline County residents during the year 2002. Requests for the rebates must be received within 60 days ofthe date
õf purchase, and are subject to availability of funds budgeted for this program. If funds run out, the public will be notified.
The restriction of one (1) rebate per household every five years will be upheld.
Application rebate fOnTIS may be obtained in the City Clerk's Office, City/County Building, 300 W. Ash, Room 206.
Questions about the program may be directed to the City Clerk's Office, 309-5735.

omp Ishments for 1997-2001
,2001
To help with the planning process which will take place next week, I am sending
you some additional information to help prepare our group. We have put together
a listing of the major solid waste related accomplishments over the last five
years. You might read through this list and possibly suggest some additional
accomplishments to those that have been outlined.
ACCOMPLISHMENTS
The approval of a County Solid Waste Management Plan has to be one of the
highlights. This plan was adopted by the City Commission on June 3, 1996, and
given conditional approval from the Kansas Department of Health and
Environment (KDHE) on February 5, 1997. Full approval was granted by KDHE
on May 12,1998.
The City's Free Yard Waste Days has to be one of the most popular solid waste
programs the City has offered. This program first started on November 10, 1996
as a one day event, and then progressed in 1997 to one day in the spring and
one day in the fall. During 2001, the City ran three days in the spring and five
days in the fall. This year alone, 2,022 vehicle loads of yard waste were
collected.
As outlined in Chapter Eight of the Solid Waste Management Plan, the primary
objective of the plan "is to reduce the tonnage of solid waste disposed of in the
City Subtitle D lined landfill cells by 15% in the ten year timeframe of the plan." In
short, we were to reduce Saline County annual tonnage to below 73,000 tons by
2005. This goal was met in 2000 when our annual Saline County tonnage
dropped to 68,640.04 tons. The 2001 annual tonnage sits at 66,805.44 tons as
of November 30,2001, and is projected to finish the year again below the 73,000
ton mark.
The Solid Waste Venture Grant Program has been a great success. With the
$1.00 per ton tipping fee charged for each ton of trash going into the landfill, the
City has been able to support recycling/diversion programs within the County.
These solid waste related programs have helped to reduce the amount of trash
going into the Landfill. Since the first grants were awarded in May, 1998, the City
has made 22 grant awards totaling $450,199.57. These break out as follows:

Another program that has had a major impact on our solid waste management
within the County has been the mulcher mower rebate program. This program
rebates $25 of the purchase of a mulching mower and $10 for a mulching mower
kit. By mulching grass clippings and recycling them at the source, we have been
able to reduce the effort and expense associated with collection and disposal of
this material. This program, over the last six years (as of August 2001), has
processed 3,176 mower rebates - $79,400 and 154 kits - $1,540.

During the summers of 2000 and 2001, the Solid Waste Committee hired an
intern to both promote our many programs and to collect information from the
local business community. In addition, a study was conducted to better inform us
on the possibilities of curbside recycling. Both internships proved to be very
productive and the information obtained from our community will help our solid
waste efforts for many years to come.
This spring, Saline County completed its part in the Kansas Department of Health
and Environment's Waste Tire Amnesty Program. Officials indicated that 43,876
passenger tire equivalents (PTE) were cleaned up during this event. For the
entire state of Kansas, the Waste Tire Amnesty Program collected a total of
4,543,573 passenger tire equivalents (PTE) under the abatement contract which
ran from November 1997 through June 2001.
During the last five years, from 1997-2001, the City Sanitation operations have
seen several changes that have improved collection, addressed our solid waste
goals, and improved customer service for our 13,622 customers. The following
are those accomplishments achieved within this City Division:
. The diversion of yard waste from the landfill to a private composting
facility where it is recycled has to one of the biggest changes in the
system. Since the start of the program in the spring of 1997, until the
end of November 2001, 11,047.43 tons of yard waste have been diverted
from Landfill disposal to being processed into compost at Kanza
Organics.
. The introduction of 60-gallon yard waste poly carts. These carts have
made the collection of yard waste much easier for the collection crews
and more convenient for the City Sanitation customers who no longer
have to bag their yard waste. At this time, we have 4,250 yard waste
carts in service. That amounts to 31 % of all City Sanitation customers.
. An increase of 6.25% in customers from 12,773 to 13,626 has been a
positive sign of our continued efforts toward quality customer service.
This increase has been steady at about 1.25% each year.
. The Household Hazardous Waste facility has grown in popularity in the
last five years. Customer participation has risen from 1,136 in 1996 to
2,660 in 2001, and the amount of pounds collected each year has
increased from 27,465.75 in our first year of operation to 82,896.75 so
far this year. In addition, we have expanded greatly our public
information program.

The Solid Waste Division of the Utilities Department has worked to evaluate
landfill operational practices to enhance customer service levels, to extend cell
life, to safeguard the environment, and to improve working conditions for our
employees. The following is a summary of the Landfill's major accomplishments
during the past five (5) years.
. The construction activities involving Cell #3, a new administration
building, expansion of the convenience area from 4 bays to 6 bays, and
the erection of a new equipment shelter building were completed.
. The acquisiton of an automatic tarping machine to provide an alternate
method of daily cover has resulted in extended cell life. The device has
performed extremely well in all conditions. Tarps are utilized ~) days per
week and soil cover is applied only once per week.
. An enhanced groundwater monitoring program was established to track
accurately the movement of any contaminants that could originate from
the old closed cells at the Landfill.
. Runoff controls and other agricultural land improvements were
accomplished to benefit the surrounding farmland. Soil erosion was
reduced and more effective storm water draining patterns were
developed.
.
In our efforts to control blowing debris originating from the active Landfill
faces, we erected additional semi-permanent and portable screening
fences. Our crews also fabricated a mobile vacuum unit to readily
remove large quantities of debris from the fences. This unit has been
proven to be very effective in trash removal from the screenin9 fences.
. The vertical expansion of Cell #1 and Cell #2 extended the useful life of
these cells which reduced the annual cost of constructing new cells.
. Completed final closure operations of the old unlined landfill cE~lIs. This
work included final grading and the establishment of a grass cover on top
of the old cells to minimize soil erosion. This area will be returned to
pastureland at some future date.
.
Engineering studies were initiated to evaluate the quantities and effects
of landfill gases generated at our facility. At this time, it has not been
determined if any gas control infrastructure will be required to satisfy the
newly enforced regulations. This determination will be made by mid-
2002.

.
To provide adequate protection for employees and the public, two small
underground concrete storm shelters were erected. One shelter, which
is handicapped accessible, is located near the
administration/convenience area and the other shelter is located near
Cell #3.
. The gate/scale house was remodeled to provide a walk-up service
window for customers. Features were incorporated in this work to
provide greater security and convenience for employees.
. A larger diameter water service line was installed to enhance water
pressure and volume to accommodate domestic facilities and to improve
fire protection capability.
As you can see, there have been many accomplishments that have made a
positive effect on how we manage our solid waste within Saline County. As
members of the Salina/Saline County Solid Waste Management Committee, you
can be very proud of the part that you have played in accomplishing these
objectives and in providing leadership in the form of recommendations to both
elected and appointed local officials.
