PAGE S • PLAINDEALER • FRIDAY, AUGUST 11, MM Waste study committee in final stages By Karl Begalka PkMealer Newt Service Hie McHenry County Waste -Advisory Committee entered its ; final stage of analysis Monday 'night. - * The panel will now begin { formulating a recommendation , for a waste management system , lor the county. Consulting engineers Jerry v Chudzick and Jerry DeMers •r Identified six solid-waste i technologies from among those ; ^discussed earlier. They included rsanitary landfills, incineration, ; • production of densified, refuse- , derived fuels (a coal * replacement) and composting. DeMers pointed out the cheapest method of waste , disposal is the traditional land­ fill system presently used. The estimated net cost per ton is 17.38, or $6.29 per person. It is important to note that, * based on present data, DeMers projected a large increase in ; landfill costs-seven percent greater than inflation per year. DeMers said a new landfill would be able to handle all the county's solid wastes, about 500 tons per day, through the year 2005. Shredding and baling waste would provide greater compaction and utilization of . space but would raise net costs. The cost per processed ton is $12.63 for shredded waste and $12.20 per ton for baled waste. The cost per person would drop to $8.14 and $7.86, respectively. The most expensive option identified by DeMers and Chudzick was the curbside collection of separated wastes. Even in urbanized areas, using a base population of 8,700, DeMers said that method's net cost would be about $131 per ton. Drop-off centers for recyclable materials fared better. A participation rate of 25 percent, half that projected for curbside pick-up, was assumed for the study. Using a population of 15,000, the net cost per collected ton is projected at $4.54. The net annual cost, based on 594 tons of material collected and, with revenues deducted, would be $2,700. Incineration was identified as a relatively inexpensive option. It also would reduce the waste volume by 85 percent and would be expected to generate sub­ stantial revenues through sale of energy, DeMers said. He projected the value of steam generated in a boiler-type operation would increase five percent per year greater than inflation. This is due to higher natural gas prices projected for the future, which could poten- Deaths / Eleanor A. Manning Eleanor A.

Memorial Masses would be preferred. tially create a market for steam generated by incinerators. Between 1985 and 2005, the $20 cost per ton for incineration was projected by the engineers to become a $20 profit. An incinerator is an ex­ pensive, time-consuming propostion DeMers said, and takes two to three years to build. Pollution controls also must be considered. The net annual cost for a 50- ton-per-day facility is $334,000, and $440,000 for a 100-ton-per- day incinerator. However, the net cost per person would be $13.76 and $9.14, respectively. Co-composting, the com­ posting of solid wastes with sewage sludge or septage, is the only method of solid waste disposal that can handle sep­ tage, DeMers said. With a 400- ton-per-day operation, the cost per ton would be about $21. Collection of wastes is the single most expensive step in the disposal of solid wastes. Transfer stations are a means of gathering this material at a central point cheaply-$4.77 per ton. The economic analysis was based on collection, transport and facility costs, revenues and disposal costs for residue. Committee member Greg Lindsey suggested that public relations costs also be con­ sidered. This would come into play with backyard composting of leaves and grass by citizens. DeMers estimated only 20 percent of the households in the county would participate. DeMers said that a com­ bination of various methods is needed: A landfill for non- recyclable goods, drop-off centers for glass, aluminum and paper, transfer stations, incineration and composting. Irma A. Jorgenson Irma A. Jorgenson, 67, of Spring Hill, Fla., died Thursday, Aug. 9,1984, in Florida. She was born in Chicago July 22, 1916. Mrs. Jorgenson had been a resident of Pistakee Terrace, McHenry, until five years ago, when she moved to Spring Hill. Surviving are her husband Robert E, Jorgenson; a son Robert, Jr. (Rosemary) of Ringwood; two grandchildren; a brother Otto Schneider of Missouri; a sister Alvina Simmons of Hernando, Fla.; and one niece. Visitation and burial were private in Florida. 3*NORGAS»NORGAS«NORGAS»NORGAS«NORGAS* C3 DO VOU USE PROPANE? are you planning on doine so?

Amyotrophic Loateral Sclerosis (A.L.S.) or Lou Gehrig's Disease is a disease causing deterioration of nerve cells in the spinal cord and brain that govern the body's motor functions. The cause remains un­ clear and there is no known cure. All funds collected to "Strike Out A.L.S." are sent to the Illinois Chapter of A.L.S., which in turn forwards them to the National Foundation. This is a non­ profit, charitable and tax exempt corporation. ^ BLOOD DRAW * The Aurora Area Blood Bank will hold a community blood draw at Sherman Hospital, Monday, August 20, from 3 to 7 p.m. Persons age 17 to 66, weighing at least 110 pounds and in good health are eligible donors. The Aurora Area Blood Bank provides blood for Sher­ man and 21 other northern Illinois hospitals throughout the year. The entire process, in­ cluding rest period after donating blood, takes ap- proximatley 45 minutes. MAKE YOUR SPECIAL EVENT A A SUCCESS!
