Integrated Solid Waste Management Stakeholder Process Update
Jack Hogin, MEIOctober 28, 2009SWMCB Meeting
Outline
• Quick Process Background Review
• Recap Metro Centroid Summer Sub-Group Work
• Overview Schedule for Rest of Process
• Update on Strategies Development
Background
• 2007 MPCA Solid Waste Policy Report identified need for stakeholder process to bridge the goals of the Waste Management Act and MCCAG (GHG reductions)
• MEI hired to design, lead and facilitate process• 17 member Work Group• Charge: Develop a plan to achieve greenhouse gas
reduction through integrated solid waste management• Focus: 4 population centroids where majority of waste is
generated (Duluth, Rochester, St. Cloud, Twin Cities)• GHG Goal: 52.5 MMTCO2e for all 4 centroids by 2025,
43.5 MMTCO2e for Metro centroid• Timeline: Meetings from Dec 2008 to Dec 2009
Centroids• Twin Cities Area: Anoka, Carver,
Dakota, Hennepin, Ramsey, Scott, Washington and Wright Counties
• St. Cloud Area: Benton, Sherburne and Stearns Counties
• Duluth Area: Carlton, Cook, Lake and St. Louis Counties, and the Western Lake Superior Sanitary District
• Rochester Area: Dodge and Olmsted Counties
Four Centroids -- Percent of MN Total MSW
Metro, 60.0%
Greater MN 27.9%
Rochester, 2.7%
St. Cloud, 5.1%
Duluth, 4.6%
4 Centroid Total72% of MN MSW
Centroid % of Total Centroid MSW
Duluth, 6.3%

ALL Centroid Total MSW Generation = 4,244,000 tons
Recap Summer Work• Sub-groups were formed in each centroid to
develop scenarios to meet centroid GHG goals
• Centroid sub-groups significantly helped to move the process forward with their work
• Metro centroid created 3 scenarios to meet Metro GHG target
• Thank you Metro Centroid Sub-Group Members!
Metro Centroid Sub-Group Members• Tim Scherkenbach, Sub-Group Chair (MPCA)• Commissioner Jim Kordiak (Anoka)• Commissioner Joe Harris (Dakota)• Carl Michaud (Hennepin)• Commissioner Victoria Reinhardt (Ramsey)• Al Frechette (Scott)• Judy Hunter (Washington)• Bill Stephens (Wright)• Linda Gondringer (SWMCB/RRA)
BAU and GoalMethod Baseline - 2005
Source Reduction 0%
Recycling 38%
Organics 3%
Waste to Energy 27%
Landfill 32%
GOAL Reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 43.5 MMTCO2e by 2025
Scenario #1
• EPR/PS• Flow Control• Organized Collection• Volume-based Pricing• Preprocessing of MSW• Maximize WTE capacity and
efficiency• Recycling legislation• Increase landfill disposal fees• Target organic-rich commercial
and institutional generators• Increase methane capture rates
Results in 2025 • Source Reduction: 5.9%• Recycling: 55%• Organics: 7%• WTE: 33%• LF: 5%
GHG REDUCTION:
47,143,818 MTCO2e
Scenario #2
• EPR/PS• Volume-based Pricing• Incentives for commercial
and institutional recycling• Opportunity to recycle in
institutional, commercial, and multifamily sectors
• Increase WTE capacity and maximize efficiency
• Increase methane capture rates
Results in 2025 • Source Reduction: 5.9% • Recycling: 48.5%• Organics: 4%• WTE: 25.5%• LF: 22%
GHG REDUCTION:
44,086,583 MTCO2e
Scenario #3
• Extended producer responsibility/Product stewardship
• Maximize WTE capacity and efficiency
• Volume-based pricing• Recycling legislation
(mandate 60% by 2025)• Pre-processing of MSW• Incentives for commercial
and institutional recycling
Results in 2025 • Source reduction: 5.9%• Recycling: 55%• Organics: 3.1%• WTE: 36.7%• LF: 5.2%
GHG REDUCTION:
44,538,311 MTCO2e

Summary
Schedule for Rest of Process • Sept-Nov 10: Work Group creates draft
recommendation plan by reviewing centroid plans and potentially suggesting new ideas
• Nov 16-30: Online Public Comment Period on Work Group Draft Plan hosted by MEI
• Nov 18, 5-7 pm: Public Meeting for Comments
• Dec 9: Final Work Group meeting
• Dec 31: Report due to MPCA Commissioner
Strategy Development Update • Source Reduction: 7 strategies to date, 5
supported by consensus (1.3 – 1.8), 2 supported by majority (1.1, 1.2)
• Recycling: 8 strategies to date, 6 supported by consensus (2.2 – 2.8, 2.10), 1 supported by majority (2.9), 1 in revision (2.1)
