Waste Study Committee redefines goals The McHenry County Waste Study Advisory Committee has backtracked slightly to clarify its goal and objectives as part of the entire waste disposal analysts. "I think we need to state the goal first/' Steve Aradas, director of the McHenry County Planning Department, said. The goal, he said, is "to solve its (McHenry County's) waste problems within its own boundaries." Consulting engineers Jerry DeMers and Jerry Chudzik outlined goals for next phase of the study, which will. tackle various waste disposal methods. From these options a list of viable alternatives will be developed and discussed in greater detail. The report will then include a two-phased study of waste management alter natives. BEEKEEPERS TO MEET The April meeting of the Northern Illinois Beekeepers' Association will take place at 7:30 p.m., Friday, April 20, at the McHenry County Farm Bureau Building, 11909 Mc- Connell Road, Woodstock. The main topic of discussion will be hiving a package of bees, and a demonstration will be held if a package can be secured for the meeting. Honey-baked goods will be served following the meeting. The first phase will analyse economic alpjscts such as Qupoow cupu per ion oz wiih per person per year, con­ struction costs for each system and the total costs throutfi the planning period for that system. the second phase will com­ pare various diaposal methods based on objectives approved by the committee Monday. One objective calls on McHenry County to dispose of its own wastes without relying On landfills or waste facilities hi adjacent counties. Com- mttteewoman ABce Howenstine pointed out that some material may come across the border simply because the landfill is closer. So, too, might some of McHenry County's waste find its way to a waste disposal facility in Lake or Kane counties. Committee members agreed flexibility is an important point. "We should be able to handle 300 to 350 tons of stuff per day, regardless of where it comes from," Howenstine said. A second objective calls on methods of disposal to be economical. "I think economics has to be one of the important issues because of changing times," Committeeman A1 Grider said. Aradas warned that changing technology might "hang up" the county in an antiquated system if it did not look to the ftiture. Third, the methods of waste disposal should be "en­ vironmentally sound." Com­ mitteeman Richard Wissell noted that, for him, en­ vironmental, and human factors were intimately related. Lastly, the committee recommended the county should adept a method of waste disposal which would recover the material and energy resources in solid waste - carefully weighing cost, flexibility and utility. "I think the majority of the people would be willing to go along with something that isn't necessarily the cheapest," Howenstine said. Each of the , objectives is divided in several criteria. The approved system for McHenry County should be: ...Able to dispose of all wastes generated in the county, in­ dependent of other facilities. ...Flexibile enough to handle solid waste, septage and sludge. ...Saleable to the public from a health and economic standpoint. Cost is another factor which the committee will consider, both initially and over the proposed 90-year period* The committee has talked extensively about recycling, but DeMers pointed out that demand - price con­ siderations pose a potentially serious threat. First,1 the "throw-away society" must be educated to sort material. Also, if the price of newsprint rises, people may decide to go into business for themselves, leaching profits from the county's site, DeMers said. Committee Chairman Ike Bitton said that community perception is essential before any plan can be implemented. On that score, Janice Prunier- King, representing the McHenry County League of Women Voters,, summarized the group's recommendations. The league urged the com­ mittee to explore recycling, consider public ownership of a waste treatment facility and establish a citizens' advisory committee to oversee waste disposal operations.
