ATTEST:
Mr. Bjarni Olason stated as a result of the upgrading of this
site, the County is requesing a rezone from RA to M -2 in order to
develop as proposed. The Council referred to the schematic draw-
ings presented by the County. Mr. Olason explained the develop-
ment will include conveyors, grinders and hoppers which will
result in cleaner refuse material. The new method will be clean-
er and more efficient and will serve as a pilot program for the
entire King County operation. Councilman Saul asked what the
noise factor would be. Mr. Olason stated the site will be land-
scaped with many trees and the grinding will be done intermittent.
ly so that the noise will be at a minimum. Councilman Gardner
asked if the garbage would need to be separated. Mr. Richard
Southworth, Superintendent, Department of Public Works, Solid
Waste Division, King County, stated this new design is the best
in operation now and they do not anticipate separation. He ex-
plained that this system is only as good as the number of trail-
ers available. The site will be processing 250 tons of waste in
an 8 -hour day. The cost of this improvement is $1.2 million; to
add metal separation for recycling would cost another $1 million.
The recovered materials market is not so dependable as to warrant
this additional installation.
