(TBI), to be located on 5.8 acres of land at 210 Holt Road (the"Site"). This site assignment is subject to the conditions set forth herein. I. THE PROPOSED FACILITY AND SITE The proposed facility is a recycling center and transfer station for construction and demolition debris(C&D)and commercial solid waste with a capacity limit of 500 tons per day. All waste handling operations will be conducted inside a 30,000 square foot,fully enclosed building. The facility will receive waste on a tipping floor. Non-recyclable materials will be loaded into a trailer, while loads with a high percentage of cardboard will be segregated for separate management. C&D waste will be moved to the recycling area. There will be two levels of recycling operations at the facility. One operation addresses incoming loads with a high fraction of recyclable material;these loads will be segregated for management without passing through the mechanical recycling area. The second operation is a mechanical recycling operation. That operation consists of sending the waste through'a slo lid, speed shredder to reduce the size of the incoming material and make it amenable for recycling. Shredded waste will then be run through a mechanical screen to remove fine materials. The material will continue by conveyor to a magnet to remove metals. Materials passing through the magnet will be conveyed to a picking station to collect recyclables. Materials that pass through that picking station will be discharged to a grinder, which reduces the size of the materials. The residues from these operations are fines and materials that are not recycled, but have been reduced in size. The expected end use of the major components of the wastestream is as follows. Unpainted wood will be fed through the grinder and transported to wood-fired energy facilities. Painted wood, but not lead-painted wood, would be ground up into fine materials that can be used as landfill cover. Cardboard will be recycled. Metals will be salvaged for recycling and re- use. Brick and concrete will be separated from the waste stream and reused typically to create aggregate. Plastics will be separated and generally recycled, as will paper. The operation will also include a residential drop-off area for North Andover residents. The drop-off area shall include bins where residents can drop off materials for recycling. The proposed facility is to be located on Holt Road in North Andover. The site consists of 3 parcels totaling 5.8 acres of industrially zoned land. The western portion of the site (approximately 2 acres) serves as a maintenance and office facility for the proponent's solid waste transportation business. The remainder of the site has been in use since 1984 as a contractor's yard for solid waste transfer trucks and trailers. The site assignment area will be the entire 5.8-acre site. The boundary of the site-assigned area is shown as the"Property Line" on a plan entitled"Proposed Site Plan",210 Holt Road, dated 11/24/04, Figure 2.1 of the site assignment application. 2 Abutting property to the east of the proposed facility is undeveloped. Other abutting properties are Lawrence Municipal Airport(owned by the City of Lawrence), a paper recycling company (on land owned by intervenor Positive Start Realty, Inc.), and the inactive Town of North Andover landfill across.Holt Road. II. THE PROCEEDINGS A. MEPA Review Prior to filing the site assignment application, TBI submitted numerous environmental impact reports as required by the Massachusetts Environmental Policy Act(MEPA). The Secretary of the Executive Office of Environmental Affairs (EOEA) issued the Final Environmental Impact Report(FEIR)certificate on January 14, 2005, stating that the project had properly complied with MEPA. B. DEP Report On Site Suitability The DEP reviewed the site assignment application, and determined that the proposal met each of the facility-specific suitability criteria and each of the general suitability criteria and that the facility will promote integrated waste management by inclusion of both a materials recovery operation and solid waste transfer operation. In addition;DEP granted a waiver request from the front property line setback criteria that will allow TBI to improve visual impacts of the facility from Holt Road. C. Hearings The hearing process commenced on June 15, 2005.1 Three ten-citizens' groups. one abutter, the City of I Iaverhill Board of Health and the City of Haverhill registered and intervened ' Prior to the hearing, TBI waived the requirement of 310 CMR 16.20(7)(a)of the DEP's rules on public hearings for site assignments,that the Board of Health commence a public hearing pursuant to 310 CMR 16.10 within 30 days of receipt of the DEP's Report on Suitability. Thus,to accommodate the parties'and the Board's schedules, the hearings extended over a period of six months. 3 as parties.' In addition, several individuals, who reside in North Andover, Methuen, Lawrence, and Bradford registered as participants. The hearings were conducted on eighteen nights and one half-day. Oral testimony was received from a dozen expert witnesses and numerous lay witnesses. Experts submitted pre-filed direct testimony, and some participants also offered exhibits. Ninety exhibits were admitted into evidence. III. FINDINGS REGARDING UNCONTESTED SPECIFIC AND GENERAI, SITE SUITABILITY CRITERIA A. Facility Specific Site Suitability Criteria 1. Public Water Supplies 310 CMR 16.40(3)(d)(1) and (2) The site is not located within the Zone I, Zone II or Interim Wellhead Protection Area (IWPA)of any public groundwater supply. 2. Drinking Water Supplies 310 CMR 16.40(3)(d) (3) and(4) The site is not located within a Zone A of a surface drinking water supply or within one-half mile of any private drinking water supply. 3. Waste Handling Setbacks 310 CMR 16.40(3)(d)(5) There are no occupied residential dwellings,prisons,health care facilities,schools, preschools,licensed day care centers,senior centers or youth centers within 500 feet of the Facility. There are also no prisons,health care facilities, schools,preschools,day care centers,senior centers, or youth centers within one-half mile. 'The Haverhill Board of Health did not appear at the proceedings,although the City's counsel did participate in certain hearings. 4 4. Riverfront Area 310 CMR 16.40(3)(d)(6) The proposed Facility is not within a Riverfront Area, as defined by 310 CMR 10.58 pursuant to the Rivers Protection Act. B. General Site Suitability Criteria 1. Agricultural Land 310 CMR 16.40(4)(a) The proposed site is not an agricultural land nor is it within 100 feet of lands classified as such. 2. Wildlife 310 CMR 16.40(4)(c) The proposed use of the site would not have an adverse impact on any rare animal species. 3. Areas of Critical Environmental Concern 310 CMR 16.40(4)(d) The site is not within any Area of Critical Environmental Concern and the facility will not have any adverse effect on such an area. 4. Protection of Open Space 310 CMR 16.40(4)(e) The site is not within any open space or conservation areas, and the facility will not have an adverse effect upon such areas. 5. Potential for the Creation of Nuisances 310 CMR 16.40(4)(g) a. Litter,Vermin, Odors, and Noise 310 CMR 16.40(4)(g)(2)-(5) The facility will not cause nuisance conditions due to litter, vermin, odors, and noise, provided the facility abides at all times with the conditions listed in section V. b. Bird Hazards To Air Traffic 310 CMR 16.40(4)(g)(5) The proposed facility will not cause a bird hazard to air traffic because, among other reasons,the facility will not accept putrescible waste,will handle all waste inside a building with high-speed doors, and will locate the storm water basins underground. 5 6. Areas Previously Used For Solid Waste Disposal 310 CMR 16.40(4)(1) The proposed site has not been previously used for solid waste disposal. Across Holt Road from the proposed site is the inactive North Andover Landfill,owned by the Town of North Andover. The inactive North Andover Landfill will not have an adverse impact on or pose a threat to the proposed Facility, nor will the proposed Facility impact the Landfill. IV. FINDINGS REGARDING CONTESTED SITE SUITABILITY CRITERIA The siting criteria for which there was a genuine dispute are discussed below. A. Depth of Groundwater 310 CMR 16.40 (3)(d)(7) states that no site shall be suitable if"the maximum high groundwater table would be within two feet of the ground surface in areas where waste handling is to occur unless it is demonstrated that a two foot separation can be designed to the satisfaction of the Department." There was considerable controversy over whether TBI demonstrated compliance with this criteria. In the site assignment application, TBI suggested that it would easily meet this two foot separation because three monitoring wells showed depths to groundwater ranging between 12 and 14 feet. However,these wells were not located where the waste handling areas would occur, which detracts from the weight that can be given to the data from these wells. And an expert witness for intervenor Positive Start testified that based on a"linear interpolation,"he would expect portions of the waste handling area to be less than two feet above maximum high groundwater. In response, TBI excavated two test pits and estimated the high groundwater level based on soil mottling in the test pits. TBI also revised the plan to raise the trailer pit on the west side. TBI also submitted a letter from DEP dated December 21, 2005. In that letter,DEP stated that 6 design plans are "subject to alteration during final design as part of the application for permit and Authorization to Construct. . . . The depth to groundwater can be designed during final design to comply with the necessary standard for separation and thus complies with the standard for suitability as stipulated at 310 CMR 16.40(3)(d)(7)["... a two foot separation can be designed to the satisfaction of the Department."]. The DEP letter could be said to establish that"a two foot separation can be designed to the satisfaction of the Department." If the Board were to interpret the regulation literally, the standard would be met as evidenced by the DEP letter. However, that narrow interpretation does not square with the statutory scheme as a whole, which places the ultimate site assignment authority in the hands of the Board of Health, which conducts a de novo review and makes its own findings of fact based on the evidence before it. Based on the evidence before the Board,the Board finds that it is more likely than not that a facility can be designed that meets the two foot separation requirement. Indeed, no witness testified to the contrary, and the Board is not aware of any physical attribute of the site that would preclude TBI from building at least two feet above the groundwater level. However, to be certain that the facility in fact will meet this standard, the Board imposes a condition in Section V that will require TBI to ascertain the maximum high groundwater level, and submit a revised design demonstrating that the facility meets the two foot separation requirement. 7 B. Traffic and Access to the Site 310 CMR 16.40(4)(b)provides as follows: No Site shall be determined to be suitable or assigned as a solid waste management facility where traffic impacts from the facility operation would constitute a danger to the public health. safety, or the environment taking into consideration the following factors: traffic congestion, pedestrian and vehicular safety, road configuration, and vehicle emissions. 1. "External" Traffic Issues The Board finds that the added traffic into Route 125 caused by this facility will not present a danger to motorists or pedestrians on North Andover roads. A traffic study submitted by the applicant's traffic engineer, and peer-reviewed by the Board's traffic engineer,establishes that adding TBI related vehicles to existing traffic will not significantly degrade the level of service at any nearby intersections. The traffic study also established that there were sufficient lines of sight and sufficient gaps in traffic along Route 125 to enable trash haulers to safely enter and exit Holt Road. However,there is a likely congestion problem at one intersection, the Holt Road/Route 125 intersection. In order to mitigate this problem, TBI has proposed to install a traffic light at the Holt Road/Route 125 intersection. With this traffic light, that intersection will operate safely and efficiently even with significant additional traffic growth. The Board acknowledges some conflicting testimony about whether a traffic light promotes safety, and notes that a traffic light can make conditions less safe if motorists go through red lights. However, the Board must make a decision assuming that traffic laws are generally obeyed. The Board acknowledges that it previously examined the traffic impact of a prior version of this facility, and concluded that a traffic light would mitigate the safety danger posed by the facility. However, at that time TBI had not agreed to fund and install a traffic light,so the Board denied the application without prejudice on traffic grounds,thereby giving TBI the opportunity to re-apply in the event it obtained Massachusetts Highway Department approval of a traffic light 8 and committed to funding it. In this application, TBI has agreed to fiend and install the light, and has further agreed not to commence operation until the light is installed. Thus,the Board now has the assurance it needs that this facility will not be operated without a traffic light in place. TBI has also proposed a number of other traffic-related mitigation measures on pages 54- 56 of its traffic study, Appendix F of the site assignment application. The Board finds that these mitigation measures are necessary and appropriate, and imposes them as conditions in section V below. The Board has also considered pedestrian safety, and finds that it is not an issue due to the absence of pedestrian traffic along Holt Road or Route 125 north of the facility. The Board addresses the potential impact on pedestrians using roads south of Holt Road in section 3 below. 2. "Internal" Traffic TBI's initial design plan was critiqued by the Board's consultants as well as the expert for intervenor Positive Start. The Board shared these experts' concerns that there was the potential for conflict between North Andover residents using the drop-off center and trash haulers. The Board was also concerned that there was inadequate room for trucks to navigate the site driveways and Holt Road without conflict, and inadequate space for trucks to queue. In response, TBI submitted a revised plan dated December 7,2005 that shows a separate entrance for the residential recycling area and a retaining wall so that recycling roll-off containers would be outside of the residential traffic area. TBI also adjusted the driveway design to ensure that trucks could navigate the driveways and turn onto Holt Road without coming into conflict with vehicles traveling in the opposite direction, and revised the plan to allow ten trucks to queue on site. The Board finds that the revised plan will allow for safe internal traffic. 9 3. Use of Local Roads The Board finds that the use of local roads by trash haulers is an existing problem, and that it would constitute a danger to public health, safety, and the environment were TBI-related trash haulers to use local roads. Therefore, the Board mandates that the proposed haul route for this Facility will be Holt Road to the Route 125 connector to I-495. The Board imposes conditions in section V below to ensure compliance with this mandate. C. Air Quality 310 CMR 16.40(4)(f) 310 CMR 16.40(4)(0 states as follows: No site shall be determined to be suitable or be assigned as a solid waste management facility where the anticipated emissions from the facility will not meet required state and federal air quality standards or criteria and would otherwise constitute a danger to the public health, safety, or the environment, taking into consideration: 1. the concentration and dispersion of emissions; 2. the number and proximity of sensitive receptors; and 3. the attainment status of the area. The Board finds that the facility will comply with state and federal air quality standards and will not otherwise constitute a danger to public health, safety or the environment. The Board found no reliable evidence to refute the air quality modeling performed by TBI's air quality expert Epsilon Associates, although the Board does not agree with the Epsilon conclusion that the air quality impact of this facility is"insignificant."Epsilon quantified the pollutants of concern (particulate matter, or PM-10 and PM-2.5)that would be generated by the TBI facility, added these emissions to background concentrations of pollutants, and performed a dispersion model to determine the concentrations at numerous nearby locations. Even at the point of maximum impact, the concentrations from this facility,when added to ambient concentrations in the area, were well within National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS). Epsilon also performed an analysis of air toxics emissions(lead,arsenic and chromium which may be present 10 in wood dust in trace quantities). This analysis showed no exceedance of the ambient limits for air toxics established by DEP. The Board's consultant, CDM, carefully peer-reviewed Epsilon's work and affirmed that the modeling results were valid. While an intervenor witness, Dr. William Porteous, testified that Epsilon's analysis underestimated the impact, Dr. Porteous' testimony that the facility would exceed the federal air quality standards rests on assumptions that are not supportable. Therefore, the facility meets"required state and federal air quality standards or criteria," and does not otherwise constitute a danger. 310 CMR 16.40(f)(4). That being said, the Board shares Dr. Porteous' and other intervenors' concerns regarding potential air quality impacts if the air quality mitigation components are not in proper operation. The Board addresses this concern in Condition 33. The Board acknowledges that it came to a different conclusion in 1997 when it denied TBI a site assignment due to air quality impact. However,TBI has incorporated into this design many protective measures that were not proposed for the earlier facility, including automatic high-speed doors to help keep particulates within the building, a water misting and roll filter system to capture particulates, and a ventilation system to capture emissions inside the building and exhaust them to a stack above the tipping floor. D. Size of The Site 310 CMR 16.40(4)(h)requires that the site be of sufficient size to operate and maintain the facility. The Board finds that while the site is tight, there is sufficient room for safe traffic flow and for the buildings and other proposed structures. The Board relies on the testimony of its consultants, a panel from CDM and Christa Crane Lucas of Howard Stein, both of whom reviewed the revised site plan and determined that it was adequate. In particular,the revised plan allows room for the queuing of five trucks in front of the inbound scale as well as an additional five truck overflow on the site. The revised plan also shows enlarged turning radii to 11 accommodate WB-55 vehicles, the largest type of vehicle that would be using the facility. In addition, the scale house was moved south and west to make more room for queuing of trucks in front of the scale and provide a greater turning radius from the scale into the western trailer pit. The retaining wall between the existing building and the proposed facility was moved west to allow for a larger residential drop-off area and to provide a larger area for trucks to queue and maneuver on site. In rebuttal testimony, Paul Costello, an expert retained by an intervenor, testified that the revised design did not solve all of the internal traffic problems, but he did not provide a reason for this conclusion and the Board finds the testimony of its own experts more credible on this issue. E. "Negative Preference" Issues 310 CMR 16.40(d)o) and(1)state as follows: Existing Facilities. In evaluating proposed sites for new solid waste management facilities the Department and the board of health shall give preferential consideration to sites located in municipalities in which no existing landfill or solid waste combustion facilities are located. This preference shall be applied only to new facilities which will not be for the exclusive use of the municipality in which the site is located. The Department and the board of health shall weigh such preference against the following considerations when the proposed site is located in a community with an existing disposal facility: 1. the extent to which the municipality's or region's solid waste needs will be met by the proposed facility; and 2, the extent to which the proposed facility incorporates recycling, composting or waste diversion activities. Regional Partici a_p tion. The Department and the board of health shall give preferential consideration to sites located in municipalities not already participating in a regional disposal facility. The Department and the board of health shall weigh such preference against the following considerations when the proposed site is located in a community participating in a regional disposal facility: 1. the extent to which the proposed facility meets the municipality's and the region's solid waste management needs; and 2. the extent to which the proposed facility incorporates recycling,composting, or 12 waste diversion activities. North Andover already hosts a large solid waste incinerator, and is a municipality that participates in a regional disposal facility (the so-called NESWC facility, also located on I loft Road.) The purpose of these regulations is to avoid an undue concentration of solid waste facilities in one community. The Board finds that adding a new solid waste facility in North Andover will add to the burden on North Andover. However, there are a number of mitigating factors. First and foremost, TBI has reduced the proposed tonnage from 650 tons per day to 500 tons per day. This approximate 25%reduction in capacity reduces in a nearly linear fashion the burden on the community from truck traffic, air emissions, and other aspects of the facility. While it is difficult to draw a precise dividing line as to an acceptable and unacceptable burden; the Board finds that the burden of a 500 ton per day facility is significantly more acceptable than the burden of a 650 ton per day facility. Second, the NESWC facility receives municipal solid waste, and not the C & D waste proposed for this facility. The Board finds that neither North Andover nor the Merrimack Valley region currently have a facility capable of handling the waste streams that TBI proposes to accept. Third, TBI has committed to significant recycling or waste diversion. The waste diversion goals include; • 50 percent, or 250 tons per day(tpd), waste diversion in the first two years of operation; • 55 percent, or 275 tpd, waste diversion after two years of operation; 60 percent, or 300 tpd, waste diversion after five years of operation; and 75 percent, or 375 tpd, waste diversion after seven years of operation. 13 These goals will help the state meet recycling goals aimed at reducing the need for disposal. Fourth,TBI will operate a municipal recycling drop-off area for use by citizens of North Andover and collect curbside recycling for more types of waste and from more residents than the Town presently collects, free of charge. TBI will also collect curbside recycling weekly(an increase over present biweekly collection), including multifamily units not presently served, and also pick up furniture and leaf and yard waste. These benefits will increase the recycling opportunities for Town residents. F. Consideration of Other Sources of Contamination or Pollution 310 CMR 16.40(4)(k) 310 CMR 16.40(4)(k) requires the Board to examine the facility in light of other sources of pollution. The DEP's Interim kisk Evaluation Guidance Document for Solid Waste Facility Site Assignment and Permitting, June 8,2001 establishes the methodology for"consideration of other sources of pollution or contamination." TBI performed an evaluation in accordance with that document,which was peer-reviewed by CDM. There was no testimony indicating that TBI failed to adhere to the DEP guidance. While the intervenors did present testimony about cumulative health risks in the Merrimack Valley, they did not show that this facility, in conjunction with other active facilities,will cause a violation of any air quality standard of otherwise cause a public health danger. V. CONDITIONS In this section, the Board imposes conditions on this site assignment. All of these conditions are material to the Board's approval of this site assignment. Without these conditions, the Board would find that one or more of the siting criteria has not been met and would deny a site assignment. Hence,these conditions are not severable from the approval itself, and they are intended to be broadly construed to protect the public health,safety and the environment. In 14 addition, they shall be strictly enforced, and violations of them shall be grounds for the imposition of fines,temporary shut downs, or rescission of this site assignment and closure of the facility. The site assignment is hereby conditioned on the following: TYPES AND TONNAGE OF WASTE I. TBI shall not accept on average more than 500 tons per day of solid waste, and shall not exceed the 500 ton per day limit by more than 25%on any given day. The averaging period shall be semi-annual. The first averaging period shall commence on the first day of operation. TBI shall on a semi-annual basis supply records to the Board demonstrating compliance with this tonnage limitation. 2. TBI shall accept only construction and demolition(C&D) and commercial solid waste, except as otherwise provided in the host community agreement. C &D waste means materials that originate at a construction or demolition site, and typically includes, but is not necessarily limited to, wood, cardboard, metals, brick, concrete, rebar, carpet and insulation materials. Commercial solid waste means wastes that originate at commercial enterprises other than restaurants, and typically includes, but is not necessarily limited to, cardboard, paper, beverage containers, and small, incidental quantities of food waste. Pursuant to the Host Community Agreement between TBI and the Board of Selectmen,TBI shall also accept household hazardous waste,certain universal waste,recyclable materials, furniture and white goods brought by North Andover residents or collected by TBI pursuant to the Host Community Agreement. 15 3. 'FBI shall not accept the following wastes unless expressly permitted in condition 2 above: Municipal solid waste; Hazardous wastes, as defined by federal and state laws; Asbestos-containing materials; Biological or infectious wastes; Universal wastes such as fluorescent light bulbs or mercury containing thermostats; Special wastes, as defined in 310 CMR 19.006; Sewage sludge; Wastes that are not expressly permitted by this site assignment and that are not solid waste according to 310 CMR 19.006. These wastes are hereafter referred to as"unacceptable wastes." 4. TBI shall establish and operate a training program to ensure that its employees know which wastes are unacceptable, and prepare a written protocol designed to minimize the possibility that unacceptable wastes are accepted. At a minimum, this protocol shall include procedures for inspecting waste loads at the scale house and at the tipping floor. A copy of the training program and written protocol shall be supplied to the Board of Health, and each employee shall sign a copy of the training program and protocol certifying that he/she has received the training and understands the protocol. 5. When trucks not under TBI's control and direction approach the scale house, a trained scale house attendant shall interview the driver to determine the types and origin of the waste and perform a spot inspection of the waste in the vehicle. Should unacceptable waste be 16 spotted at the scale house, TBI shall reject the entire load from the driver and send the driver away. 6. When the waste is dumped on the tipping floor, a trained TBI employee shall inspect the load. Should unacceptable waste be spotted on the tipping floor, TBI shall use best efforts to detain and/or recall the driver bringing the unacceptable waste and return the entire toad to that driver and send the driver away. Should TBI be unable to detain or recall the driver, TBI shall store such unacceptable waste in a separate portion of the building that shall be cordoned off from other waste. TBI shall not store unacceptable wastes for more than forty-eight hours after receipt of it. Under no circumstances may any unacceptable waste be processed by TBI. 7. TBI may receive wood waste containing lead paint, but shall not allow wood with leaded paint to be processed. Instead, Nvood with lead paint shall be segregated, stored in closed containers, and managed in accordance with DEP standards. The training program and written protocol referenced in paragraph 4 shall include procedures designed to ensure that wood with leaded paint is not processed. WASTE DIVERSION REQUIREMENTS 8. TBI shall comply with the following waste diversion requirements: 50 percent average waste diversion in the first two years of operation; 55 percent average waste diversion after two years of operation; 60 percent average waste diversion after five years of operation; and 75 percent average waste diversion after seven years of operation and for as long as the facility is operating thereafter. 17 9. The term "waste diversion" means diverting the waste from disposal at a landfill or a solid waste combustion facility.
