Phase I: The Landfill Waste Acquisition Plan
1. Acquire waste at tip fees that
• Generate cash to meet targets
• Maximize airspace value
2. Manage business risks
Phase II: The Long-Term Site Development Plan

2. Provide ongoing value for the Town

The Landfill will close. The “site” can be active forever.

Took care of the landfill model first

What did we do? RFP to lease areas on the 25-acre parcel for
innovative technologies such as:

RFP for leachate management equipment
Possible synergies between projects from all RFPs

Lessons Learned Start early with all the key stakeholders
Do it inside out; ask the tough questions now
Create a roadmap but be willing to adjust
Get commitments from various boards etc.
Get all the players together at critical intervals
Budget- allow for 2-3 fiscal years
![Page 18: ORGANICS3 Municipal Site Development: Life Beyond the Landfill, Dan Barrett](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052822/554adb90b4c9056a798b4b49/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Lessons Learned Think logistics and process, not just strategic goals
Expect obstacles and have support from leadership
Devote time to managing relationships – CRITICAL
Misinformation & misunderstanding will kill a project
Identify assets: land, permits, infrastructure, power/heat users
Identify what vendors need
Vendor’s business plan is now your business plan
Look for ways to help
