Southeastern Public Service Authority – Contract Update Presenter: Mr. Dennis Bagley, Executive Director, SPSA Mr. Bagley reported as follows: Current Use and Support Agreements  Effective as of January 25, 2018, SPSA entered into identical Use and Support Agreements with each of SPSA’s eight (8) member communities.  The Use and Support Agreements are the fundamental documents defining the duties and responsibilities of SPSA and the member localities  The initial term of the Use and Support Agreements ends on June 30, 2027.  Each Use and Support Agreements will automatically renew for ten additional years unless a member community provides SPSA written notice at least 18 months in advance (December 31, 2025) of its intent not to renew the agreement. Why Renew the Use and Support Agreement with SPSA  SPSA has a proven track record of delivering efficient and innovative solid waste management services.  SPSA and the City of Norfolk have partnered to provide excellent service to Norfolk citizens for decades.  SPSA has recently obtained all the regulatory permits for expansion of the regional landfill which will provide SPSA member localities with assured solid waste disposal capacity through the year 2060 under existing disposal practices – and much longer with alternative disposal practices. Future Disposal Capacity  Maintaining future disposal capacity at the Regional Landfill (RLF) is critical to providing economical disposal rates for the region.  Because the landfill is located on wetlands that are hydrologically part of the Great Dismal Swamp, the permitting process for Cells VIII and IX was complex and very difficult. Wetland mitigation requirements in the permit virtually ensure that there will be no expansion beyond Cells VIII and IX.  At current waste volumes and disposal practices, the Regional Landfill would reach permitted capacity in the year 2060.  After 2060, waste would have to be hauled to private landfills outside of the SPSA service area.  Projected disposal cost after the RLF reaches capacity would exceed $125/ton (in present- day dollars), compared to today’s costs of $65/ton. The only way to ensure capacity at the Regional Landfill Past 2060: Reduce Volume Requiring Disposal -3-  How to Reduce the Volume of Waste Requiring Disposal  In February of 2024, SPSA issued a Request for Proposals to provide an Alternative Waste Disposal mechanism for the Region.  SPSA is finalizing contract negotiations with Commonwealth Sortation LLC to provide a mixed- waste sorting facility using AI and robotics to remove recyclables and organics. This contract would guarantee a diversion rate of 50%:  20% of the waste would be recycled  30% of the waste (the Organics) would be processed by pyrolysis creating Biochar which has many beneficial uses.  Alternative Waste Disposal would reduce the waste stream by 50% and extend the life of the Regional Landfill through the year 2095. Other Benefits  Commonwealth Sortation plans to invest more than $100 million dollars in new processing facilities in the region.  Recycling Rate would increase from approximately 7% to a contractually guaranteed 20%.  Landfill diversion rates would increase from approximately 7% to a contractually guaranteed 50%. Next Steps  Each Member Community will be asked to execute an amendment to the Use and Support Agreement that would increase the pending 10-year extension to 20 years. The amendment would be effective only if a contract between SPSA and Commonwealth Sortation is approved by 75% of the SPSA Board of Directors before December 1, 2025.  After new Use and Support Agreement Amendments are executed, the SPSA Board would vote on whether to approve and execute a contract with Commonwealth Sortation prior to December 1, 2025.  A super majority consisting of 12 of the 16 members is required to approve the terms and allow for the execution of a contract.  There would be a phased “ramp up” of processing capabilities through 2028.
