Haulers that repeatedly attempt to dispose of unacceptable materials at the facility will risk the loss of disposal privileges. Barlow will discuss special arrangements for accepting and disposing hazardous materials that are identified in transfer station trailers. Barlow will expect the County to cooperate in informing, advising and possibly taking legal action against those parties that continue to bring such waste (other than normal household hazardous waste) to the facility. Hazazdous materials that escape screening and cannot be placed with the hauler will be disposed by Barlow. puestion 9: The Barlow proposal already discusses costs and pricing associated with operating the Re-Load Building. We do not believe we have enough information about the County of Hawaii's costs for trucking waste to be able to make a meaningful comparison of Barlow's costs and the County's costs. However, we have provided an estimate of costs in Table A and Table B at the end of this document. If the County wishes to meet with Barlow to discuss this face to face we are certainly willing to look for areas in which we could achieve "cost savings", including having the County truck the waste (or ash) to landfill. Section III-Technical Issues Question 1: Estimates we have from the DOH are that it could take them up to 18 months to review a Covered Source Permit. This process will occur concurrently with other permitting processes, as shown in Table C at the end of this document, but could potentially delay the start-up of the WTE facility if it does indeed take this long. We would strongly encourage the County and State of Hawaii to do anything within its power to expedite this permit review process. Question 2: In Exhibit DD of our previous submittal, we outlined typical Boiler outages. These are two 5 day outages per Boiler per year. Because only one line will be down for . maintenance at a time, during those outages 50% of the waste normally processed would need to be diverted to landfill. Under normal circumstances, the quantity of this waste should not be more than 2000 tons a year, spread over 4 occurrences. This amounts to an extra 25 trucks per quarter, or 5 trucks per day during the 5 day outage., uestion 3_ The cost of a dump condenser can be added to our proposal cost (and fee) if the County feels that this is important. Question 5: Barlow would be happy to discuss our re-design and proposed operation of the Re-Load Building when we meet. Question 12: Barlow provided a very rough estimate of water use and discharge with the proposal. That estimate showed a net excess water discharge of 50 gallons per minute. The primary sources are cooling tower blow-down and RO waste. The discharge water quality is likely to be quite good, but will depend on the quality of incoming water, and frequency of blow-down activities required for operation of the equipment. The method of discharge for this waste will be determined during the final design stage, and :.:11 be dependent cr, local actors including: local water quahiy considerations, connection distance to storm drains or sanitary sewers, subsurface geology at the site, and other site specific factors.
