Approve Change Order for Additional Work Associated with the New Main Library
Department:Administration
Caption:Motion to approve change order to contract with RW Allen, LLC, in the
amount of $64,797, for additional work at the new Main Library, as requested
by the Library Director and Architect. (Approved by Public Services
Committee June 29,2009)
Background:The construction contract for the Library, in the amount of $16,287,000.00, was
awarded to RW Allen in August, 2008. Construction is now roughly 55%
complete, and approximately $267,000.00 in change orders have been
approved, predominately for unforeseen, subsurface conditions.
Analysis:The writing lab will provide an area dedicated to encouraging and instructing
primarily young people in the ability to communicate by the written word.
Many people, though literate, struggle with composing written communication
in complete sentences and paragraphs. In response to numerous requests from
groups desiring a venue where informative brownbag lunches and group catered
events can be held, a warming kitchen will be provided adjacent to the Library’s
large Meeting Room, which can seat up to 300 patrons in theater style format,
or 150 with tables. The addition of this change order will bring the total change
order amount to approximately 2% of the Contract award price, which is well
within industry norms. The funds will be deducted from the project’s
contingency budget, which remains adequately-funded.
Financial Impact:The cost of the change order is $64,797.00
Alternatives:Disapprove the change order.
Recommendation:Approve change order to the RW Allen Contract. The changes will result in a
Library that can better serve the citizens of Augusta.

Opportunity Zones
Department:Planning Commission
Caption:Motion to approve the designation of Opportunity Zones in Augusta. (Approved by
Administrative Services Committee June 29, 2009)
Background:Opportunity Zones can be established as an economic development incentive for
areas that meet the standards for designation pursuant to the DCA rules at 110-24.1.
The standards are: The Area must be constructed from census block groups with
15% or greater poverty or adjacent thereto; The area must be wholly contained
within enterprise zones or redevelopment areas pursuant to O.C.G.A. 36-61; The
areas must have pervasive poverty, under-development, distress and blight.
Analysis:Augusta currently has two enterprise zones, Laney Walker and Rocky Creek, and
one Redevelopment Area which was recently designated as a Tax Allocation
District. We recommend that all eligible areas be immediately designated as
Opportunity Zones. We believe that the eligible areas should be divided into three
separate Opportunity Zones, The Downtown, South Augusta, and South Richmond
Opportunity Zones. Upon approval we will immediately file an application with
DCA for designation of the eligible areas. We will then determine which other areas
could be designated as Opportunity Zones if they were first designated as enterprise
zones or redevelopment areas and bring a proposal back to the Commission for
designation of additional areas or expansion of the three initial Opportunity Zones.
Financial Impact:Making employment tax credit available will encourage development in distressed
areas. There will be no cost and no loss of tax revenue to the City.
Alternatives:Designate the entire eligible area, designate some of it, or none of it.
Recommendation:Designate the entire area

2004 Series Bond Capital Improvements Program- Program Management Services
Department:Utilities
Caption:Authorize Option Year 3 of Amendment No. 7 to the existing Program
Management Services Contract with CH2M Hill, Inc. to provide Program
Management Services for the 2004 Series Bond Capital Improvements
Program approved by Commission 02/01/2005. Option Year 3 budget is
$1,500,000. (No recommendation from Engineering Services Committee
June 29,2009)
Background:CH2M Hill, Inc. has been providing Program and Contract Management
Services for the highly successful Augusta Utilities Department Master Plan
2000 implementation program. To cover the continuing services needed for
the 2004 Series Bond Capital Improvements Program an amendment to the
existing contract, Amendment No. 7, was approved by Commission on
February 1, 2005. At that time, these services were planned to be completed
by December 31, 2009 with the Option Year 3 budget. As planned, all but
one of the planned projects should be completed by December 31,
2009. However, completion of the $70,000,000 J. B. Messerly Water
Pollution Control Plant Improvement project is not scheduled until
September 2010. The Option Year 3 budget to support this revised
schedule is $1,500,000. This option would also include the
“redetermination” effort required during the second year of the Ft. Gordon
operations services contract.
This
revised budget will provide contract management services as well as
program management including approximately 34% sub-contract services
with local business enterprises. Furthermore, the staff furnished by
CH2M Hill and sub-contractors will include at least 55% local personnel.
The firms currently furnishing sub-contracted field support services are
Khafra Engineering, Inc. (Augusta) and Management Analysis and
Utilization (Augusta), others will be added as needed. CH2M Hill Inc. will
not furnish design or construction services for the projects funded by this
program. The initial term of Amendment No. 7 was for two years with three
additional one year options. Attachment B from Amendment No. 7
regarding the estimated compensation amounts for each option year is
attached for reference. The revised Option Year 3 will begin July 1, 2009
and conclude in September 2010.
Analysis:Approving this authorization will allow the 2004 Series Bond Capital
Improvements Program to progress in a timely and cost efficient manner.
Financial Impact:

Alexander Drive Project Change Number Seven
Department:Abie L. Ladson, PE, CPESC, Director of Engineering
Caption:Motion to approve Capital Project Budget 323-041110-296823215 Change
Number Seven in the amount of $1,000,000.00 for the Alexander Drive
Project to be funded from SPLOST Fund Balance Account and Phase II
Recapture respectively for the Engineering Department. (Approved by
Engineering Services Committee June 29,2009)
Background:The additional amount is needed to complete the acquisition of right-of-way,
demolition, utility relocation, environmental and changes in roadway design
documentation. Original estimates fall short due to increased appraisals on
Alexander Drive properties as well as additional engineering services
required in compliance with Georgia Department of Transportation
standards and environmental regulations.
Analysis:An unexpected number of condemnations, design modifications, changes in
environmental regulations, demolition and utility relocation have been
necessary on this project. Also, because of the increased amount of the
appraisal done by the Tax Assessors Office, the property owners claim that
they should be paid more money up to the tax appraisal amount. These funds
are needed to complete the acquisition of right-of-way for this much needed
project.
Financial Impact:Funds in the amount of $500,000.00 each are available in SPLOST Fund
Balance Account 322-000-000000/39-52110 and SPLOST Phase II
Recapture account 322-041110-6011110/292822333-6011110 respectively
to be transferred to the project Right of Way account upon Commission
approval.

Approve Change Order #1 to the existing Design Contract for Fort Gordon Wastewater Connection (Force Main and
Lift Station)
Department:Utilities
Caption:Motion to approve change order #1 to the existing design contract in the amount of
$163,825.00 to ZEL Engineers for additional work to complete a Supplemental
Environmental Assessment and to prepare a Demolition contract for the existing wastewater
treatment plant at Fort Gordon. (Approved by Engineering Services Committee June 29,
2009)
Background:The Municipal Services Agreement (MSA) contract between the Augusta Richmond County
and Fort Gordon was awarded September 2006. A requirement of the contract is to provide
the wastewater connection from Fort Gordon to Augusta Richmond County wastewater
collection
system.
The modification to this contract is to provide a full Supplemental Environment Assessment
as requested by Fort Gordon during the 30% design phase of the proposed force main.
Current environmental laws require additional environmental investigation be prepared and
documented by the design engineer than originally planned. This includes allowing
concerned environmental and cultural resource agencies time and information to review and
provide comments on impacts that may be caused by this project. This
proposal also includes a contract modification that will allow preparation of contract
documents to demolish the existing wastewater treatment plant at Fort Gordon. The
Privatization Contract between Augusta Richmond County and Fort Gordon required the
demolition of the existing wastewater treatment plant with appropriated operational and
environmental considerations addrerssed in the contract design.
Analysis:AUD evaluated ZEL Engineers Change Order #1 to the existing Design Contract for Fort
Gordon Wastewater Connection (Force Main and Lift Station). AUD believes that this scope
of work is inclusive and will provide a cost-effective solution to the connection of the
sanitary sewer to the Augusta collection system and the demolition of the existing wstewater
plant. The proposal is considered fair and reasonable.
Financial Impact:The design proposal submitted for this project was $163,825.00. These funds are available
from the following accounts: 507043420/5212115- 80600040/5212115
Alternatives:1. Rejection of this change order #1 would delay the design and the subsequent construction
of the wastewater connection ( Force Main and Lift Station) delaying revenue for the
Augusta Richmond County.
Recommendation:Recommend Commission approve change order #1 to the existing design contract to ZEL
Engineers in the amount of $163,825.00

Commission Meeting Agenda
7/7/2009 2:00 PM
Approve Resolution Adopting the Augusta Richmond County Joint Solid Waste Management Plan.
Department:Solid Waste
Caption:Motion to approve Resolution adopting the Augusta-Richmond County
Joint Solid Waste Management Plan. (Approved by Engineering Services
Committee June 29, 2009)
Background:The Augusta Richmond County Joint Solid Waste Management Plan has
been updated in accordance with the state standards for solid waste planning
and in accordance with comments received from the Department of
Community Affairs. The Plan documents the vision for and the
implementation of the future systems to effectively manage solid waste in
Augusta. The Plan includes the following components: 1. Waste Disposal
Stream Analysis – which consists of an inventory and characterization of the
waste disposed in Augusta. 2. Waste Reduction Element – includes the
inventory and analysis of the waste reduction activities of local governments
as well as all public and private programs which implement waste and/or
source reduction programs. 3. Collection Element – includes the inventory
and analysis of all garbage, yard waste, and recycling collection programs in
the area. 4. Disposal Element – includes the disposal practices employed by
the county. 5. Land Limitation Element – includes a description of both state
and local rules for waste disposal. 6. Education and Public Involvement –
includes outreach and educational activities offered by Augusta and other
private institutions on such topics as recycling and waste reduction.
Over the summer, community meetings were held to allow the community
and stakeholders the opportunity to review and provide comments on the
draft plan. The plan was then sent to the Department of Community Affairs
for final review. Comments were received and incorporated and now the
plan is set for final adoption.
Analysis:The Joint Solid Waste Management Plan must be updated and adopted by
the local governments included in the plan. The Cities of Blythe and
Hephzibah have already passed resolutions adopting the plan. Failure to
formally adopt the plan causes Augusta to lose its status as a Qualified Local
Government by DCA. Losing this status means Augusta will be ineligible to
apply for various grant and loan programs. Further, the Solid Waste
Management Plan is incorporated into the Augusta Comprehensive Plan.
Financial Impact:Not Applicable

Section 1 Introduction
Planning and implementing systems to effectively manage solid waste is a vital responsibility of
local government. State government primarily serves a regulatory role in solid waste
management, implementing regulations adopted by the Georgia Department of Natural
Resource’s Environmental Protection Division.
Major shifts have occurred in solid waste policies and regulations in the past 2 decades. A
higher level of community involvement has resulted from residents recognizing the impact of
solid waste on quality of life issues. Their efforts, combined with state policies, led to more
waste reduction education, monitoring of illegal dumping, and expanded curbside recycling
services. City, County and regional planners are also more aware of the effects of solid waste to
the overall planning system and have incorporated these issues into the comprehensive
planning process.
In the regulatory arena, the state and federal government have implemented more stringent
criteria for the siting, design, construction and operation of solid waste facilities, driving
regionalization of the solid waste collection and disposal infrastructure. As Georgia
communities continue to close municipal solid waste facilities and rely on private sector
disposal options, the regulatory role of local governments is expected to increase.
The Georgia Comprehensive Solid Waste Management Act of 1990 requires local governments
take steps to address solid waste management issues. The development of a solid waste
management plan provides local communities with the opportunity to consider pressing issues.
1.1 Define Planning Area
In 1989, the Georgia General Assembly passed SR 103, creating the Joint Solid Waste
Management Study Committee to analyze the status of solid waste management statewide and
to make recommendations for a comprehensive revision to the 1972 Solid Waste Management
Act. The findings and recommendations in the study committee report were drafted as
legislation and introduced as an administration bill in the 1990 session of the General Assembly
as SB 533, the Georgia Comprehensive Solid Waste Management Act. SB 533 (the Act) provides
a framework to manage solid waste at the local and state level. The first step in implementing
the Act is the development of the Georgia Solid Waste Management Plan. The purpose of the
State plan is essentially threefold:
To present a status report of solid waste management in Georgia;
To set forth the state strategy for reducing and managing solid waste; and,
5
To establish the procedures and criteria for local/regional solid waste plans and other
components of local/regional solid waste management strategy.
The Joint Solid Waste Management Plan for Augusta-Richmond County and the Cities of
Hephzibah and Blythe represents the next step in the planning process and includes data in
seven topic areas that are considered critical components of the solid waste management
planning process. These include:
Waste Disposal Stream Analysis
Waste Reduction Element
Collection Element
Disposal Element
Land Limitation Element
Education and Public Involvement Element
Implementation Schedule
The content and planning process in this Plan conforms to Chapter 110-4-3 Minimum Planning
Standards and Procedures for Solid Waste Management from the Georgia Department of
Community Affairs. Each of the 5 core planning requirements (waste reduction, collection,
disposal, land limitation, education & public involvement) includes sections on inventories,
assessments, needs and goals. This Plan updates the Joint Solid Waste Management Plan for
Augusta-Richmond County and the Cities of Hephzibah and Blythe that was adopted in 1993.
A working committee composed of solid waste experts and officials from Augusta-Richmond
County was formed to help direct the planning effort. As required by the solid waste minimum
planning standards, public hearings were held in Augusta-Richmond County to elicit community
input on solid waste needs and goals, and the final plan. A total of 15 public hearings were held
in conjunction with Augusta-Richmond County’s Comprehensive Plan Update. The first set of
public hearings occurred at nine different venues between January 8, 2008 and January 31,
2008. The second set of public hearings took place at six different locations within the County
between June 3, 2008 and June 19, 2008. See Appendices G and H for more information.
Community input was assessed by the working committee and incorporated into the plan.

1.3 Overview of the Area Covered in the Plan
1.3.1 Planning Area
Augusta-Richmond County and the Cities of Hephzibah and Blythe are located in the east
central section of Georgia. The County is approximately 150 miles east of Atlanta and is
bordered by the Savannah River to the northeast, Burke and Jefferson Counties to the south
and Columbia County to the northwest. The center of Augusta-Richmond County lies roughly
121 miles southeast of Athens and 141 miles northwest of Savannah, Georgia. Augusta-
Richmond County occupies a land area of 207,386 acres (324.04 square miles) plus 2,823 acres
(4.41 square miles) of water area.
In terms of land area, Augusta-Richmond County ranks 90th of Georgia’s 159 counties. The
County and municipalities are members of the Central Savannah River Area (CSRA) Regional
Development Center which is a public sector, non-profit planning and development agency that
serves a 13 County and 39 city regions in the eastern portion of Central Georgia. The home
office for the CSRA Regional Development Center is located in Augusta-Richmond County.
Augusta-Richmond County is also part of a Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA) with Columbia,
McDuffie, and Burke Counties in Georgia and Aiken and Edgefield Counties in South Carolina. A
Metropolitan Statistical Area is a defined area used by federal agencies in collecting, tabulating,
and publishing statistics. The metropolitan area contains a core urban area of 50,000 or more
population and consists of one or more counties that have a high degree of social and economic
integration with the urban core.
Augusta-Richmond County accounts for approximately 93% of the total acreage and 97% of the
population in the County. The City of Hephzibah, the City of Blythe, and approximately half of
the military installation base at Fort Gordon are also located within the County. Augusta is
considered to be Georgia’s second oldest and second largest city. The City of Hephzibah is also
considered to be one of Georgia’s oldest settlements.
In 1996 the City of Augusta consolidated with Richmond County to form Augusta-Richmond
County. This consolidated governing body consists of a Mayor and 10 Augusta-Richmond
County commissioners. Augusta-Richmond County is one of only five consolidated governments
in Georgia.

1.3.2 Topographic Information/Unique Features
Augusta-Richmond County is located in east central Georgia next to the Savannah River. The
County straddles the "Fall Line", a geologic boundary following the Appalachian Mountain
range from Alabama to New York. In Georgia and South Carolina the Fall Line separates the
Piedmont from the Coastal Plain. The Savannah River and its tributaries drain most of the
County.
According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Augusta-Richmond County is situated in three
major land resource areas: the Southern Piedmont, the Carolina and Georgia Sand Hills, and the
Southern Coastal Plain. The Southern Piedmont covers the extreme northern part of the County
and consists of broad to narrow ridge-tops and long irregular hillsides bisected by numerous
small winding drainage-ways. The Carolina and Georgia Sand Hills are located in the northern
and western parts of the County and separate the Southern Piedmont from the Southern
Coastal Plain. The Southern Coastal Plain covers the southern and southeastern parts of the
County and is characterized by broad ridge-tops and hillsides extending to drainage-ways.
Nearly level floodplains of the Savannah River are located in the eastern and northern parts of
the County and on the narrower basins of its tributaries.
Elevations range between 100 and 140 feet along the Savannah River and 500 feet or more on
high ridges on Fort Gordon. More than half of the total land area has a slope of less than 5%,
and more than 85% of the land has less than 10% slope. Less than 2% of the land area has slope
greater than 15%. The steepest slopes are found along Butler, Spirit and Little Spirit Creeks. The
majority of areas with steep slopes are either within floodplains, which are regulated by local
ordinance, or are located on Fort Gordon.
Fort Gordon is about 56,000 acres, or 100 square miles, primarily in Augusta-Richmond County
but with small portions of Columbia, Jefferson and McDuffie Counties. Fort Gordon is the home
of the US Army’s Signal Center and School, Dwight D. Eisenhower Army Medical Center
(DDEAMC)/Southeast Regional Medical Command as well as a host of other command and
agencies from across the joint forces (Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine and multinational forces)
of the United States. While much of the Fort’s activities center on support and “force
readiness,” a great number of resources are also expended on communications and other
training. Besides training the full-time military, the Fort provides year-round instruction to
reservists in addition to active officer and non-commissioned officer students. Fort Gordon also
hosts elements of other Army units and services such as ordnance, intelligence, communication
labs, and band and headquarters units. The installation is home to the U.S. Army Signal
Museum and actively supports the formal partnership between the U.S. Army and the National
Science Center (NSC) Fort Discovery. Fort Gordon and the Army Signal Museum are located in
Augusta, Georgia.
At this time there are no topographical or unique features that have or would affect how the
County handles and manages their solid waste.

1.3.3 Population
Augusta-Richmond County has had a slow level of growth over the past several decades
according to the U.S. Census Bureau. In 1980 the population of the County was 181,620, in
1990 the population was 189,719 and in 2000 the population was 199,175. Population
projections were made for Augusta-Richmond County based on an examination of these trends
over the last four decades and, more specifically an extension of the growth rates experienced
over the last twenty years. As related to this Census trend, Augusta-Richmond County projects
a small population increase over the planning period.
The last U.S. Census in 2000 showed that Augusta-Richmond County had a population of
199,175. The Augusta-Richmond County Planning Commission as part of their Augusta-
Richmond County Comprehensive Plan adopted in 2004 provided population projections over a
20-year period in 5-year increments. During the planning period an annual population growth
rate of 0.02% to 0.03% was applied for each of the municipalities (Augusta-Richmond County,
Hephzibah, and Blythe) in Augusta-Richmond County. These population projections are shown
in Table 1-1.
The population projections are based on the assumption that the City limits of the three
municipalities – Augusta-Richmond County, Hephzibah, and Blythe - will not change. Georgia
law prohibits municipal annexation within three miles of another municipality. Augusta-
Richmond County shares a common border with both the Cities of Hephzibah and Blythe. The
projections also assume that the Cities of Hephzibah and Blythe will continue to account for a
relatively small percentage of the County's total population.
Augusta-Richmond County’s population growth over the planning period is relatively low in
comparison to the other counties in the Augusta Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA) and the
state of Georgia. Counties included in the Augusta MSA are Columbia, McDuffie, and Burke in
Georgia and Aiken and Edgefield in South Carolina.
Augusta-Richmond County is home to half of the military installation base at Fort Gordon which
includes the Signal Center, School and Army Medical Center. In 2003, the Central Savannah
River Area (CSRA) Alliance for Fort Gordon conducted an Augusta Quality of Life report
highlighting several quality of life issues at the Fort. The primary purpose of the CSRA Alliance
for Fort Gordon is to demonstrate the potential for Fort Gordon to grow existing missions and
take on new missions. Additionally, the Alliance promotes economic development through
partnerships capitalizing on the information technology, communications and medical expertise
prominent at Fort Gordon. The report stated that the base employed approximately 12,000
military and 5,000 civilian employees in 2003. During the next ten years, Fort Gordon is
expected to see an additional 7,000 to 10,000 jobs added to the base. This expected growth
will come from the National Security Agency (NSA) relocation to the base as well as the
11
acquisition of missions becoming part of Fort Gordon through the Defense Base Realignment
and Closure Commission (BRAC) reassignments. These population numbers are not reflected or
included in the County’s population projections as the base is a separate government entity
serviced by it’s own rules, protocols and procedures.

1.3.3.1 Seasonal Population Variation
Some areas of the State experience seasonal population variances such as an increase in
tourism, large student populations, and/or large annual events that affect the population a
municipality or County for a temporary or seasonal amount of time. This population variance is
normally accompanied by an additional amount of waste generated thereby forcing the
municipality or County to make additional waste management decisions on how this waste is
handled. At this time, Augusta-Richmond County does not experience a seasonal population
variation due to tourism or large student populations that would affect their solid waste
management.
The County does however experience an annual one-time event increase in population due to
the annual Masters Golf Tournament during the first full week in April, which is played at the
Augusta National Golf Club in Augusta, Georgia. The County effectively handles the increased
amount of solid waste generated during this event with their contracted service providers. In
all of the County’s solid waste collection contracts it is stated that in the full week proceeding,
during and after the Masters Golf Tournament, an unlimited amount of garbage will be
collected. Several other departments within the Augusta-Richmond County government
perform clean-up and waste removal duties three to four weeks prior to the tournament.
1.3.3.2 Number of Households
Augusta-Richmond County housing characteristics reflect the County’s history and early
development patterns. Residential land uses cover approximately 28,000 acres at present. This
includes a mix of single-family, site-built residences at various densities, duplexes, apartments,
manufactured homes, and group quarters. Augusta-Richmond County accounts for 98% of all
the housing units within the County.
Overall Augusta-Richmond County is mainly composed of single-family households totaling
69,319 households or 79% of the County’s housing market. Multi-family housing which is
considered to be structures with 3 or more units comprises 21% of the housing market or
18,296 households. Table 1-2 outlines the single-family and multi-family households for the
Augusta-Richmond County, City of Hephzibah and City of Blythe.
The detached single-family, site-built home continues to be the dominant type of housing unit
in the market, representing 61% of the total units in Augusta-Richmond County in 2000. In the
last twenty years a number of new apartment complexes have been built in the Augusta-
Richmond County. In addition, the aging of the population and growth in “empty-nesters” and
one-person households has increased the demand for attached and semidetached units on
small lots. Apartments (structures with 3 or more units) comprise almost 26% of the housing
stock. Mobile or manufactured homes account for 9% of the housing units.

1.3.4 Economic Activity
1.3.4.1 By SIC Code
Economic development is critical to the future of Augusta-Richmond County. The creation of
jobs and investment in facilities and equipment generates the income needed to sustain the
community and attract additional development.
In 2006 the Georgia Department of Labor updated their Area Labor Profiles outlining the
number of businesses, number of employees that each business employs as well as weekly
wages for each of the employment sectors. According to these updated Area Labor Profiles,
the largest business sector in Augusta-Richmond County is the service sector, encompassing
39% of the businesses operating within the County. Major employers in the service sector
include health care and related facilities, educational institutions and business service
establishments. Eight hospitals are the most visible component of the County's health care
industry while additional jobs are provided at clinics, nursing homes, laboratories, and other
health care practitioners. Major educational institutions providing employment include the
Medical College of Georgia, Paine College, Augusta State University, Augusta Technical College,
and the Richmond County Board of Education. Accommodation, hospitality and food services
also make up a large portion of the service sector.
The second largest business sector operating in Augusta-Richmond County is the retail trade
sector comprising 18% of the businesses operating within the County. The third largest
business sector is comprised of finance, insurance and real estate which totals 10% of the
businesses operating within the County. Table 1-3 provides the number of businesses
operating in each of the SIC code business sectors. Data was only available for Augusta-
Richmond County as a whole, not for each of the individual municipalities within the County.

1.3.4.2 Number of Employees by Sector
Augusta-Richmond County has a diversified economy much like the surrounding counties that
make up the Augusta Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA). Employment is highest in the
service, public administration and retail trade sectors. The data from the Georgia Department
of Labor indicate that these sectors account for approximately 77% of the total employment in
Augusta-Richmond County.
The largest employment sector, the service sector employs 40,070 individuals within the
County or 40% of the population. This sector includes health care and related facilities,
educational institutions and business service establishments. Public administration makes up
the second largest employment sector, employing 24,981 individuals within the County or 25%.
This sector includes all individuals who work in local, state and federal government. The third
largest employment sector is the retail trade sector employing 12% of the workforce or 11,994
individuals. The majority of the retail trade establishments are located in the Augusta-
Richmond County including grocery, drug, department, furniture, and general merchandise
stores.

Section 2 Waste Disposal Stream Analysis
The purpose of the Waste Disposal Stream Analysis section is to provide an inventory of waste
disposed within Augusta-Richmond County and the Cities of Hephzibah and Blythe by sector
(i.e. residential, commercial, industrial, construction and demolition debris) and the types of
waste being disposed (i.e. papers, plastics, metals, yard wastes, etc.). The results of the waste
disposal stream analysis can be used to establish needs and goals for the remainder of the plan
as well as guide local government decision-making regarding current and future solid waste
management services and facility needs. The data also provides a basis for creating,
implementing, and managing programs to assist the County as well as the State of Georgia in
achieving a reduction in the amount of municipal solid waste disposed.
19
2.1 Inventory of Waste Disposed
Augusta-Richmond County maintains current records of all solid waste disposed of within the
County as it owns and operates the only permitted, municipal solid waste landfill, located at
4330 Deans Bridge Road in Blythe. Augusta-Richmond County has three private contracted
haulers that collect residential municipal solid waste within the Residential Service Area that is
delivered to the Augusta-Richmond County Landfill. The Cities of Hephzibah and Blythe have
private haulers that collect their municipal solid waste on an individual subscription basis with
residents and deliver the waste to the Augusta-Richmond County Landfill. Private haulers who
pick up commercial, industrial and construction and demolition debris (C&D) within the County
also deliver it to the Augusta-Richmond County Landfill. Several private haulers as well as public
collection operations from neighboring cities and counties deliver their solid waste to the
Augusta-Richmond County landfill. Additionally all waste collected on the Fort Gordon base is
transferred to the Augusta-Richmond County Landfill.
The Augusta-Richmond County Solid Waste Department provided the data that populates Table
2-1 which highlights all the waste disposed at the Augusta-Richmond County Landfill by sector.
At this time, the Landfill only categorizes data in the residential and commercial waste sectors.
The residential waste total for 2007 was 65,298 tons and includes all municipal solid wastes,
C&D and special wastes from the residential sector collected from Augusta-Richmond County’s
residential service area. The commercial waste total for 2007 was 313,469 tons and includes all
municipal solid wastes, C&D, industrial and special wastes from both the in-county and out-of-
county commercial sector. At this time the Augusta-Richmond County Landfill does not
delineate in-county or out-of-county commercial waste separately. The Augusta-Richmond
County Landfill estimates that approximately 66% (or two-thirds) of the waste from the
commercial sector is generated within Augusta-Richmond County and is considered to be “in-
county” waste. The remaining 34% (or one-third) of the waste from the commercial sector is
estimated to be generated outside of Augusta-Richmond County and is considered to be “out-
of-county” waste. In 2007 the County collected 16,239 tons of yard waste. All yard waste
delivered to the Landfill was ground and/or chipped into mulch or inert landfilled. The County
at this time does not quantify how many tons of yard waste is ground/chipped for mulch or
inert landfilled, but they estimate that 75% (approximately 12,179 tons) of this material is
ground/chipped for mulch and is used for erosion control at the landfill as well as other Public
Services projects within the County. The remaining 25% (approximately 4,060 tons) of these
yard wastes are inert landfilled at the Augusta-Richmond County Landfill site. The Augusta-
Richmond County Landfill also accepted for disposal approximately 1,606 tons of asbestos
during 2007.

2.1.1 Waste Characterization
Identifying the type of waste that is currently being disposed in Georgia’s landfills can play a
critical role in solid waste system planning and design. This type of information can be used to
identify materials to target for additional diversion and can serve as a baseline for measuring
progress.
The Georgia Department of Community Affairs hired a consulting firm to perform a multi-
phase, statewide municipal solid waste characterization study to better understand the
composition of solid waste being disposed in Georgia. The purpose of this study was to prepare
information that could be used by cities and counties across Georgia to estimate the
composition of their disposed municipal solid waste streams. In 2005 the Georgia Statewide
Waste Characterization Study was published. As part of this characterization study the
Augusta-Richmond County Landfill was selected as a sorting location to determine waste
stream composition. Table 2-2 provides actual data collected during the non-weighted average
aggregate composition performed in the spring of 2004 at the Augusta-Richmond County
21
Landfill. During the landfill study 41 samples were taken (13 commercial and 28 residential) to
determine the following waste stream composition average percentages.
Although Augusta-Richmond County is submitting a multi-jurisdictional plan, data was not
available for the individual areas of Augusta-Richmond County, and the Cities of Hephzibah and
Blythe specifically. Table 2-2 represents data for the entire County at the Augusta-Richmond
County Landfill.

2.1.2 Unique Conditions and/or Seasonal Variations
Some areas of the State experience unique conditions or seasonal variations in population that
affect their quantities of materials for disposal. Augusta-Richmond County at this time does not
experience any unique conditions, shifts in manufacturing, landfill bans or seasonal variations in
population that would affect their quantities of materials for disposal.
The County does however experience an annual one-time event increase in population due to
the annual Masters Golf Tournament during the first full week in April, which is played at the
Augusta National Golf Club in Augusta, Georgia. The County effectively handles the increased
amount of solid waste generated during this event with their contracted service providers. In
all of the County’s solid waste collection contracts it is stated that in the full week proceeding,
during and after the Masters Golf Tournament, an unlimited amount of Garbage will be
collected. Several other departments within Augusta-Richmond County perform clean-up and
waste removal duties three to four weeks prior to the tournament.
2.1.3 Waste Generating Disasters
Natural disasters strike with varying degrees of severity and pose both short- and long-term
challenges to public service providers. The most severe natural disasters generate debris in
quantities that can overwhelm existing solid waste management facilities or force communities
to use collection and disposal options that otherwise would not be acceptable. Debris removal
is a major component of every disaster recovery operation.
Some of the debris-generating natural disasters most likely to hit Augusta-Richmond County
include flooding from the Savannah River, tornados, ice storms and hurricanes. Much of the
debris generated from these natural disasters is not hazardous. Soil, building materials, and
green wastes, such as trees and shrubs, make up most of this disaster debris volume. Most of
this waste could be recycled or reused into useful commodities or inert landfilled.
In the event of a disaster, Augusta-Richmond County would enact the County’s Emergency
Management Agency’s Local Emergency Operations Plan (LEOP). The Agency’s director would
coordinate all services as needed and would include utilizing the County’s Department of Public
Services and the Corrections Institutions as well as additional County departments. The Agency
would also coordinate with local, state, and federal agencies to supply the tools and resources
needed to handle any debris-generating natural disaster. The Augusta-Richmond County
Emergency Management Agency Local Emergency Operations Plan (LEOP) may be found online
at http://augustaga.gov/departments/ema/docs/PublicLeop2004.pdf. In addition to the LEOP,
the County is currently working on the development of a Debris Management Plan which
outlines the roles, responsibilities and functions of various county departments which would be
involved in the process of disaster debris recovery.
24
2.2 Projections of Waste to be Disposed
Projections of the amount of waste to be disposed within Augusta-Richmond County have been
delineated in Table 2-3 as a product of how the waste enters the Augusta-Richmond County
Landfill. Since the Landfill accepts commercial sector waste from both in-county and out-of
county entities (and the Landfill does not separate these tonnages), we have made adaptations
to Table 2-3 to accommodate this information.
The volume of solid waste generated within Augusta-Richmond County is directly dependent on
population size. Previously shown in Table 1.1, Augusta-Richmond County’s population is
expected to slightly increase from 201,032 in 2007 to 207,229 in 2017. This increase in
population will increase the amount of solid waste generated. The residential solid waste
projections were based on the per capita waste generation for each year.
Augusta-Richmond County has several residential recycling enhancement programs that will be
laid out during the planning period to help reduce the amount of waste disposed in the Landfill.
Table 2-3 shows a slow increase in solid waste disposed until 2011 when new curbside
collection contracts will be put into place. The County plans to reduce the twice a week waste
collection service to a once a week waste collection service while continuing the once a week
recycling collection service to all residents within the residential service area. The County also
plans to promote the distribution of the 65-gallon wheeled carts as well as informational flyers
and additional forms of education which will also help increase recycling rates. The County
plans to evaluate the use of an incentive based recycling collection program that could boost
recycling rates while lowering waste disposal. Additional decreases in solid waste disposal have
been projected after 2013, but are dependent upon the feasibility of the incentive based
program.
Since the Augusta-Richmond County Landfill accepts commercial sector waste from both in-
county and out-of-county entities (and waste totals are not collected separately), we have
delineated estimates for both categories in Table 2-3. Again the Landfill estimates that 66% (or
two-thirds) of the commercial sector waste brought to the Landfill is generated within Augusta-
Richmond County. The remaining 34% (or one-third) is estimated from out-of-county
commercial sectors. For the purpose of these commercial waste projections, the volume of
solid waste generated within this commercial sector is directly dependent on the amount of
employees working in the business sector. For in-county estimates, projections were based on
the fact that in 2006 there were approximately 100,900 employees working within the business
sector in Augusta-Richmond County. It was assumed there would be a standard 1.5% increase
in employment over the planning period for Augusta-Richmond County. For out-of-county
estimates, projections were based on employment numbers within the business sector for the
surrounding counties of McDuffie, Thompson and Dearing, Columbia, Screven, Jenkins and
Washington. It was assumed there would be a standard 1.3% increase in employment over the
25
planning period for the previously listed counties. The commercial solid waste projections were
based on the employee per capita waste generation for each year.
Augusta-Richmond County also has several commercial recycling enhancement programs that
will be laid out during the planning period to help reduce the amount of waste disposed in the
Landfill. Table 2-3 shows an increase in solid waste disposal until 2010 when the County plans
to enact a multi-family and commercial recycling program. In 2009, the County will evaluate
adding a front-load dumpster recycling collection route and, if feasible, will plan to add an
additional collection route each year. In 2010, the County will evaluate implementing a multi-
family recycling program with three collection routes and, if feasible, in 2013 these multi-family
units will join the residential curbside collection incentive based recycling program. Both of
these programs are expected to increase recycling rates and diversion as well as reduce solid
waste for disposal. These projections recognize that private haulers have and will continue to
pick up recyclables from commercial sector entities, but these recycling totals are not included
in the projections as the volumes are unknown.
All commercial recycling enhancement programs will only effect the in-county commercial
waste projections. Out-of-county waste projections are expected to increase over the planning
period.

2.3 Per Capita MSW Disposal Reduction Goal
To account for population growth in Augusta-Richmond County, the amount of solid waste
disposed is evaluated on a per capita, per day basis. Again, the volume of solid waste
generated is directly dependent on the County’s population. The Solid Waste Management
Plan for the State of Georgia (adopted in 2006) states that the per capita disposal rate in the
State’s municipal solid landfills was 7.39 pounds per person, per day in fiscal year 2004.
In Section 2.2, we outlined solid waste projections for the residential sector, in-county
commercial sector, out-of-county commercial sector and inert wastes in Table 2-3. For the
purpose of this section as we discuss the per capita waste disposal, we will only be projecting
the per capita waste disposal rate for in-county wastes. Table 2-4 outlines this per capita waste
disposal rate. During 2007, residents within Augusta-Richmond County on average disposed of
1.36 tons of waste per year or 7.45 pounds per person, per day. At the end of the planning
period, the average resident will dispose of 1.17 tons of waste per year or 6.4 pounds per
person, per day. This per capita disposal rate will decrease over the planning period as the
County institutes their residential and commercial recycling enhancement programs as
described in Section 2.2.
When developing the percent increase in per capita disposed from the base year, the base year
for Augusta-Richmond County was 1993. During this year, 1,300 tons of solid waste was
disposed in the Landfill. It was decided that this solid waste disposal number did not accurately
describe the current waste disposal in Augusta-Richmond County. The percent increase in per
capita disposed was then calculated off the 2007 solid waste number of 279,942 tons of in-
county waste.

Section 3 Waste Reduction Element
The purpose of the Waste Reduction Element section is to inventory, describe and assess the
waste reduction programs implemented throughout Augusta-Richmond County. All public and
private programs and facilities are inventoried for source reduction, recycling,
composting/mulching and special material handling. These programs are then assessed to
determine if they are targeting the appropriate waste generating sector and waste stream as
well as contributing to the achievement of the State of Georgia’s waste disposal reduction
effort helping to mitigate any potential environmental risk.
3.1 Inventory of Waste Reduction Programs
3.1.1 Source Reduction
Source reduction and reuse programs are by nature difficult to inventory since they are actions
that lead to the avoidance or prevention of waste generated for recycling or disposal. Source
reduction can include reducing the amount of solid waste generated at the source, redesigning
products/packaging to use less materials, voluntary human behavior change which results in
the selection of products and materials which last longer or reduce the amount of materials
discarded and increasing the durability/reusability of materials to result in longer lasting
products.
At this time Augusta-Richmond County supports and promotes four local non-profits that help
divert solid waste from the landfill through their source reduction and reuse efforts. Augusta
Urban Ministries accepts furniture and household items that are then given and reused for
families in need of assistance. The County houses four Goodwill Industry stores that accept
furniture, household items, clothing and shoes. These items are later resold to the general
public and families in need. The County also has three Salvation Army resale stores that accept
furniture, household items, clothing, shoes and cars that are resold to the general public and
families in need. A Habitat for Humanity ReStore is also located within the County and accepts
used/new building materials and tools that are reused in Habitat for Humanity community
building projects and are also resold to the general public.

Recycling began in the residential service area of Augusta-Richmond County in August 2000
with a source separated collection program. Over the years the program evolved to a
commingled collection program and later in 2007 to a single stream program. During 2007 the
residents within the residential service area of Augusta-Richmond County had access to two
different curbside recycling programs. At the beginning of 2007, residents in the residential
service area had access to a weekly commingled curbside recycling program complete with 18-
gallon bins collecting cardboard, mixed paper, office paper, newspapers, magazines, #1 and #2
plastics, aluminum, steel, tin and other metals for recycling. Augusta-Richmond County
established contracts with private collection companies for these curbside recycling collection
services. All recyclables collected from this commingled curbside program were sent to the
North Augusta Materials Recovery Facility (MRF). The North Augusta (MRF) documented 336
tons of commingled recyclables collected from January to February 2007.
Residents in the residential service area within Augusta-Richmond County transferred to a
single-stream curbside program starting in August 2007 which continues to the present. As
part of this new program, residents are available to call the Augusta-Richmond County Solid
Waste office to request a 65-gallon wheeled cart for their single stream recycling. Residents
have access to a weekly, single-stream curbside recycling program complete with either their
original 18-gallon bin (as part of the previous program) or 65-gallon wheeled cart (as requested
by the resident) collecting cardboard, mixed paper, office paper, newspapers, magazines, #1
and #2 plastics, aluminum, steel, tin and other metals for recycling. To date, Augusta-Richmond
County has distributed approximately 7,000, 65-gallon wheeled carts for recycling. Augusta-
Richmond County currently provides these services through contracts with three private
34
collection companies (Advanced Disposal, Augusta Disposal & Recycling, and Inland Services
Corporation) for these curbside collection services. Recyclables are collected from residents
living in apartments (up to four units), condominiums (up to four units), attached housing (up to
four units – duplex, triplex and quadraplex), mobile homes and mobile home parks (up to ten
units). All recyclables collected from this single-stream curbside program are being sent to
Pratt Industries and SP Recycling Corporation for processing. During the time period from
August to December 2007, 605 tons of recyclables were collected from approximately 62,000
households located within the residential service area.
The rural areas of Augusta as well as the Cities of Hephzibah and Blythe have access to curbside
recycling services through a subscription basis with private haulers within Augusta-Richmond
County. It is not known how many households have curbside recycling services or the amount
of recyclables that are collected as the service is provided on an individual residential basis
therefore the quantities are difficult to quantify.
Augusta-Richmond County is currently in the process of building a Courtesy Citizen Drop-off
Area where all residents within Augusta-Richmond County, rural Augusta, City of Hephzibah
and City of Blythe will have access to a staffed drop-off center for garbage and recyclables at
the Augusta-Richmond County Landfill located at 4330 Deans Bridge Road in Blythe. Residents
will be able to drop off their cardboard, mixed paper, office paper, newspapers, magazines, #1
and #2 plastics, aluminum, steel, tin and other metals for recycling, as well as their municipal
solid waste, scrap tires and yard waste. The Courtesy Citizen Drop-off Area is expected to be
complete in late 2008.
County residents have access to aluminum can recycling trailers located throughout the County
benefiting the Southeastern Firefighters Burn Foundation. County residents can also recycle
their newspapers and magazines at several enclosed roll-off drop-off sites within the County
operated by private collection companies.
The County also has several non-profits and businesses that accept a range of materials for
reuse or recycling. Table 3-2 outlines these non-profits and businesses and the materials they
accept for recycling or reuse.

3.1.2.1 Recycling Facilities
The recycling processing facilities listed in Table 3-3 serve the residents and businesses within
Augusta-Richmond County.
During 2007 two different recycling processing facilities were used for all recyclables collected
in the curbside recycling program. The North Augusta Material Recovery Facility located in
North Augusta, South Carolina processed the recyclables collected from the commingled
curbside recycling program from January to July 2007. In August 2007, Augusta-Richmond
County moved to a single stream curbside collection program. All recyclables collected in this
curbside program are being direct hauled to the Augusta-Richmond County leased Waste
Management, Inc. Transfer Station facility located in Augusta, Georgia. From this Transfer
Station, the materials are transported to both Pratt Industries and SP Recycling Corporation
both located in Atlanta, Georgia for processing. The County is currently constructing a Courtesy
Citizen Drop-off Area which, upon completion in late 2008, will begin accepting all recyclable
materials collected through the curbside program.
Augusta-Richmond County is using Newell Recycling for all the scrap metals and white goods
collected at the Landfill and through the residential bulky waste curbside collection program.
During 2007, 95 tons of scrap metal were collected and delivered to Newell Recycling for scrap
metal processing. The County uses Ridge Recycling for all the scrap tires collected at the
Landfill site. During 2007, 285 tons of residential tires were collected and delivered to Ridge
Recycling for shredding and processing.

3.1.3 Yard Trimmings Programs and Facilities
In 1996, the State of Georgia banned yard trimmings from lined municipal solid waste (MSW)
landfills as part of an effort to extend landfill disposal capacity. After this ban was put into
place each City, County and solid waste management authority was required to impose
restrictions on yard trimmings generated in or disposed within their jurisdiction. Table 3-4
outlines all yard trimming programs operating in Augusta-Richmond County.
All residents within Augusta-Richmond County’s residential service area have access to a weekly
yard trimming curbside collection program collecting leaves, grass clippings, branches, brush,
flowers, roots, wood waste, sod, and other biodegradable materials. These yard trimmings or
yard waste are either bundled or placed in open top cans or Kraft brown paper bags and left at
the curb for collection. These curbside yard trimming collection services are provided by
Augusta-Richmond County through contracts with the same private collection companies
(Advanced Disposal, Augusta Disposal & Recycling, and Inland Services Corporation) that
provide waste and recycling collection services for the County. During 2007, 10,551 tons of
yard trimmings were collected through this curbside yard trimming program from
approximately 62,000 households. All yard wastes delivered to the Landfill were
ground/chipped into mulch or inert landfilled. The County at this time does not quantify how
many tons of yard wastes are ground/chipped for mulch or inert landfilled, but they estimate
that 75% of this material is ground/chipped for mulch which is used for erosion control at the
landfill and other Public Services projects throughout the County. The remaining 25% of these
yard wastes are inert landfilled at the Augusta-Richmond Landfill site. At this time, the
residents of rural Augusta and the Cities of Hephzibah and Blythe do not have access to
curbside yard trimming collection services through private collection haulers. In 2007, an
additional 5,688 tons of yard trimmings and inert materials were collected at the Landfill site.
Augusta-Richmond County is currently in the process of building a Courtesy Citizen Drop-off
Area where all residents within Augusta-Richmond County, rural Augusta, City of Hephzibah
and City of Blythe will have access to a staffed drop-off center at the Augusta-Richmond County
Landfill located at 4330 Deans Bridge Road in Blythe. Residents will be able to drop off their
leaves, grass clippings, branches, brush, flowers, roots, wood waste, sod, and other
biodegradable materials for mulching. The Courtesy Citizen Drop-off Area is expected to be
complete in late 2008.
There are several private tree and landscaping entities that operate within Augusta-Richmond
County. Many of these entities provide yard trimmings/yard waste removal and collection
services to residential, commercial and industrial locations throughout the County. These
private entities either chip or mulch these yard wastes for later resale or dispose of them in
inert landfills. It is not known at this time how much of this material is either mulched or inert
landfilled from these entities. Additionally some residents may utilize backyard composting for
their yard trimmings. At this time there are no quantities available to report.

The Central Savannah River Area Environmental Science Education Cooperative coordinates and
manages two one-day collection events each year for the collection of computers and
electronic wastes. At each event, the Cooperative on average collects 22,000 pounds of
computers and electronic waste. The materials are sent to Creative Recycling in Atlanta,
50
Georgia and later processed in Tampa, Florida. Creative Recycling dismantles these electronics
for parts and metals which are later resold. There are several other additional private entities
within the County that accept electronics for recycling. See Table 3-2 for a list of businesses
that accept these materials.
Augusta-Richmond County accepts white goods as well as other metals through their
contracted residential curbside collection program and at the Landfill. All residents within
Augusta-Richmond County’s residential service area can put these materials as well as tires out
as bulky waste. The contracted private haulers bring these materials to the Augusta-Richmond
County Landfill where they are sorted for recycling and waste. These white goods and other
metals are sent to Newell Recycling for processing and recycling. During 2007, 95 tons of white
goods and scrap metals were collected as part of the curbside collection program as well as at
the Landfill. Additionally, many private contractors and haulers operate within the County that
pick-up and process white goods and other scrap metals from commercial and industrial
entities.
Augusta-Richmond County also accepts scrap tires as part of their contracted curbside
collection program from residents within the residential service area and at the Landfill. The
scrap tires are sent to Ridge Recycling for shredding, processing and recycling. During 2007,
285 tons of tires were collected for recycling.
At this time, Augusta-Richmond County does not have a program to handle household
hazardous wastes or lead acid batteries. When the County’s new Courtesy Citizen Drop-off
Area opens in late 2008, batteries will be collected for recycling. Several private entities accept
rechargeable batteries for recycling; see Table 3-2 for a list of these businesses.
3.2 Disaster Debris Management – Waste Reduction Strategy
Natural disasters strike with varying degrees of severity and pose both short- and long-term
challenges to public service providers. The most severe natural disasters generate debris in
quantities that can overwhelm existing solid waste management facilities or force communities
to use disposal options that otherwise would not be acceptable. Debris removal is a major
component of every disaster recovery operation. Much of the debris generated from natural
disasters is not hazardous. Soil, building material, and green waste, such as trees and shrubs,
make up most of the volume of disaster debris. Most of this waste can be recycled or reused
into useful commodities or inert landfilled. The Augusta-Richmond County plan, relying on
consolidation sites, provides opportunities for recycling as follows.
In the event of a disaster, Augusta-Richmond County would enact the County’s Emergency
Management Agency’s Local Emergency Operations Plan (LEOP). The Agency’s director would
coordinate all services as needed and would include utilizing the County’s Department of Public
51
Services and the Corrections Institutions as well as additional County departments. The Agency
would also coordinate with local, state, and federal agencies to supply the tools and resources
needed to handle any debris-generating natural disaster. The Augusta-Richmond County
Emergency Management Agency Local Emergency Operations Plan (LEOP) may be found online
at http://augustaga.gov/departments/ema/docs/PublicLeop2004.pdf. In addition to the LEOP,
the County is currently working on the development of a Debris Management Plan which will
outline the roles, responsibilities and functions of various county departments that would be
involved in the process of disaster debris recovery.
The current practice calls for Augusta-Richmond County to partner with the County’s
Department of Public Services and the Corrections Institutions to mobilize inmate forces, as
well as any additional Augusta-Richmond County departments to utilize joint assets (e.g.:
collection vehicles, etc.), and set up centralized remote consolidation sites on existing publicly
controlled land. The County’s strategy would be two-fold: (1) remove debris that is an
immediate threat to public safety (e.g.: removing downed trees from streets, etc.) and (2)
remove remaining debris to assist with general clean up and recovery within the community.
Management of these consolidation sites will include piling more recyclable woody biomass
debris separately from other debris. Grinding equipment would be taken to the consolidation
sites where the woody biomass debris would be chipped or ground before loading onto transfer
vehicles to be brought back to the County Landfill wood waste processing site for further
processing, reuse or inert landfilling. To the degree possible given the constraints of disaster
operations, other debris will also be recovered (e.g. metals, concrete rubble, etc.) All other
debris would then be transported from the consolidation sites to the County landfill for
disposal. In addition to direct County efforts, County solid waste contractors may also be
required to assist with recovery efforts, by activating a contractual “force majeure” provision
that allows the County to direct contractor resources towards disaster debris management.
Press cooperation during disasters greatly assists in communicating procedures to the public.
Direct communication with press representatives in all media will result in prominently
featured information being distributed (e.g. front page articles, radio lead stories, etc.) that will
instruct citizens on how to handle disaster debris and how to maximize recovery. The County
plans to supplement this with additional local radio announcements and newspaper notices to
notify the public of alternative programs for the residential and commercial waste that would
be generated from a disaster.
52
3.3 Assessment of Waste Reduction Programs
The waste reduction and recycling programs operated by Augusta-Richmond County currently
reduce the waste stream by approximately 10 percent, an estimate that is based on very
limited information given the lack of established waste reduction data collection and reporting
programs. To determine the effectiveness of waste reduction programs during this planning
period, Augusta-Richmond County will implement a more comprehensive waste reduction data
collection and reporting system so that progress towards the County waste diversion goals of
25% percent waste diversion per capita by the year 2018.
Access to recycling within Augusta-Richmond County is extremely high. With a large amount of
the County’s population living in Augusta-Richmond County’s residential service area and
having access to once a week single stream curbside recycling with either an 18-gallon bin or
65-gallon wheeled cart accepting a large list of recyclable materials, it would be expected that
recycling rates would be much higher. It is apparent that although all residents within Augusta-
Richmond County’s contracted residential service area have access to an extensive curbside
recycling program, many are not actively participating in it. To address this issue during the
planning period, the County should actively promote the distribution of the 65-gallon wheeled
recycling carts to all households along with instructional flyers on how to participate in the
program. The County should also initiate a refreshed outreach campaign with a much greater
emphasis on education to encourage more active program participation. Educating the
residents within the Cities of Hephzibah and Blythe that they have the option to have curbside
recycling through their subscription private hauler service will also raise recycling participation
and rates. The current recycling facilities and processors have the capacity to accept more
materials; this is not expected to be an issue during the planning period.
Additional data collection and reporting would also help raise the County’s recycling quantities
and rates. At this present time there is no mechanism in place to capture commercial and
industrial recycling quantities. Many businesses within the County recycle at least their
cardboard and these quantities would greatly increase the overall County recycling rates.
Additionally requiring recycling processors to report their recycling data to the County would
ensure that all data is available and accounted for in reports and solid waste plans.
Access to yard trimmings collection within Augusta-Richmond County is also extremely high.
Again, with a large number of the County’s population living in Augusta-Richmond County’s
residential service area and having access to once a week yard trimmings collection, the
majority of the yard trimmings are not ending up in Augusta-Richmond County’s municipal solid
waste landfill. The County plans to continue to operate the grinding and chipping operation at
the Landfill for yard trimmings. Additionally the County plans to continue to operate their inert
landfill. At this time there are no capacity limitations to how much yard trimmings the County
can handle. The County would like to provide additional education and information to
residents regarding backyard composting and mulching options to reduce the amount of
material that needs to be collected and handled at the Landfill.
53
At this time the County has programs handling scrap metals, scrap tires and white goods as part
of their items that require special management. The County plans to finish construction on
their Courtesy Citizen Drop-off Area in late 2008. Once this facility is open, scrap metals, scrap
tires, white goods, electronics, batteries as well as additional household recyclables will be
collected year-round. Additional education programs to both residential and commercial
entities are needed to increase the amount of electronics, scrap tires and white goods collected
and to ensure that these materials are disposed of properly.
3.4 Needs and Goals
This section contains a statement of needs and goals based on the assessment of the adequacy
of current programs, their ability to contribute to the State of Georgia’s waste disposal
reduction effort and to mitigate any potential environmental risk.
The overall goal is for Augusta-Richmond County to achieve a 25 percent reduction per capita in
the amount of solid waste disposed of in the municipal solid waste landfill and to expand and
further develop waste reduction programs over the planning period. A list of actions that will
help contribute to the achievement of the County’s goal may be found in Appendix G.
Section 4 Collection Element
The Collection Element section provides a description of the types of solid waste, recyclable and
yard trimming collection programs are available in Augusta-Richmond County. The inventory
identifies who collects each type of material and how they are collected. Illegal dumping and
littering are also described in this section. A contingency strategy is also included, identifying
how waste will be collected in the event the primary collection avenues are interrupted.
4.1 Inventory of Collection
4.1.1 Inventory of Existing Programs
Solid waste, recycling and yard trimming collection services are available to the majority of
residents in Augusta-Richmond County, City of Hephzibah and City of Blythe. Table 4-1
provides an inventory of all collection haulers operating and collecting these materials within
Augusta-Richmond County. Additionally Table 4-2 provides an inventory of all collection
programs in Augusta-Richmond County.

Augusta-Richmond County has established contracts with three different, private collection
haulers to handle municipal solid waste, bulky waste, recycling and yard trimming materials.
These three collection haulers (Advanced Disposal, Augusta Disposal & Recycling and Inland
Services Corporation) were contracted for a 5-year service commitment until December 2010.
These haulers collect materials within a contracted residential service area, providing these
residents with twice a week municipal solid waste collection and once a week bulky waste,
recycling and yard trimmings collection. Augusta-Richmond County residents are either on a
Monday/Thursday collection schedule (Monday – garbage and yard trimmings, Thursday –
garbage, recycling and bulky waste) or on a Tuesday/Friday collection schedule (Tuesday –
garbage and yard trimmings, Friday – garbage, recycling and bulky waste).
Augusta-Richmond County residents have access to twice a week municipal solid waste
collection complete with a 95-gallon wheeled cart. Bulky waste is collected once a week and
residents are allowed to put out furniture, appliances, scrap metal, tires and other items too
large for their collection cart.
Special wastes such as electronics, household hazardous waste, lead acid batteries, tires and
white goods are also collected either curbside or through drop-off arrangements. Refer to
61
Table 3-5 for an inventory of all the programs that Augusta-Richmond County has available to
provide for the collection of these special wastes.
Recycling began in the residential service area of Augusta-Richmond County in August 2000
with a source separated collection program. Over the years the program evolved to a
commingled collection program and later in 2007 to a single stream program. During 2007 the
residents within the residential service area of Augusta-Richmond County had access to two
different curbside recycling programs. At the beginning of 2007, residents in the residential
service area had access to a weekly commingled curbside recycling program complete with 18-
gallon bins collecting cardboard, mixed paper, office paper, newspapers, magazines, #1 and #2
plastics, aluminum, steel, tin and other metals for recycling.
Residents in the residential service area within Augusta-Richmond County transferred to a
single-stream curbside program starting in August 2007 which continues to the present. As
part of this new program, residents are able to call the Augusta-Richmond County Solid Waste
office to request a 65-gallon wheeled cart for their single stream recycling. Residents have
access to a weekly single-stream curbside recycling program complete with either their original
18-gallon bin (as part of the previous program) or 65-gallon wheeled cart (as requested by the
resident) collecting cardboard, mixed paper, office paper, newspapers, magazines, #1 and #2
plastics, aluminum, steel, tin and other metals for recycling. To date, Augusta-Richmond County
has distributed approximately 7,000, 65-gallon wheeled carts for recycling. Augusta-Richmond
County provides these services through contracts with three private collection companies
(Advanced Disposal, Augusta Disposal & Recycling, and Inland Services Corporation) for these
curbside collection services.
Residents within the Augusta-Richmond County’s residential service area have access to a
weekly yard trimming curbside collection program collecting leaves, grass clippings, branches,
brush, flowers, roots, wood waste, sod, and other biodegradable materials. These yard
trimmings or yard waste are either bundled or placed in open top cans or Kraft brown paper
bags and left at the curb for collection.
The rural areas of Augusta as well as the Cities of Hephzibah and Blythe have access to curbside
municipal solid waste and recycling services through a subscription basis with private collection
haulers. At this time, residents within these jurisdictions do not have access to curbside yard
trimming collection services.
Augusta-Richmond County is currently in the process of building a Courtesy Citizen Drop-off
Area where all residents within Augusta-Richmond County, rural Augusta, City of Hephzibah
and City of Blythe will have access to a staffed drop-off center located at the Augusta-Richmond
County Landfill located at 4330 Deans Bridge Road in Blythe. Residents will be able to drop off
their cardboard, mixed paper, office paper, newspapers, magazines, #1 and #2 plastics,
62
aluminum, steel, tin and other metals for recycling, as well as their municipal solid waste, scrap
tires, scrap metals, white goods, electronics, batteries and yard trimmings. The Courtesy
Citizen Drop-off Area is expected to be complete in late 2008.
The Fort Gordon military base handles its own solid waste collections through Dorado Waste.
All municipal solid waste collected from Dorado is delivered to the Augusta-Richmond County
Landfill. The military base does have a drop-off location on base where recyclables are
collected and baled by low-level military personnel.

4.1.2 Contingency Strategy
As part of the solid waste planning process, the State asks each municipality or County to
include a description of how it will deal with interruptions to solid waste collection services that
are due to factors other than major storms and disasters. Contingency strategy planning
relates to a disruption of normal collection and disposal operations resulting from a striking
labor force, mechanical breakdowns, hauler default, and other such potential interruptions to
service.
Augusta-Richmond County employs several approaches to ensure that quality solid waste
disposal services are provided to its citizens and the streets and public areas are maintained
and remain clean. The County first and foremost uses model service agreements that each of
the collection haulers sign when awarded a collection contract. The County has provisions in
each of these collection contracts such as parent company guarantees, performance bonds and
letters of credit that provide funds to continue services in case of default. Additionally as part
of these collection contracts, there is an entire section that is dedicated to the procedures in
the event of contractor default.
All of the County collection contracts also have a section dealing with liquidated damages which
establishes a schedule of financial penalties for failure to meet pre-approved performance
standards. Liquidated damages are paid if the following eight performance standards are not
met: replacing carts/bins back to original locations, commencement/completion of collections
outside of contract specifications, failure to collect spillage, failure to collect missed garbage,
bulky waste, recycling or yard trimmings, failure to deliver or replace carts/bins, failure to start
contract on start date, mixing of contract waste with non-contract waste, and disposal of
recycling and/or yard trimmings in garbage collection vehicle.
As part of each signed collection contract, each contracted hauler supplies the County with an
emergency plan which details the actions which the contractor would take to deal with any
situation that would require deviation from normal operating procedures including but not
limited to equipment breakdowns, extreme weather conditions, snow/ice, fire and natural
disasters. Additionally since the County employs three different collection haulers, if a problem
arose with one of the collection haulers, one of the other two collection haulers would service
the needed geographic areas until the original collection hauler was able to resume normal
operating procedures.
The City of Hephzibah will work with their contracted hauler to mitigate any disruption in
service to their residents; reaching out to Augusta-Richmond County for assistance as needed.
Since the residents of Blythe contract individually with their haulers, if collection service is
interrupted the City will first attempt to mediate with the haulers on behalf of their citizens. If
this fails, then the City will request help from Augusta-Richmond County to identify a solution.
To date, Augusta-Richmond County and the Cities of Hephzibah and Blythe do not have a
coordinated contingency strategy for collections. A unified contingency strategy should be
devised between the Augusta-Richmond County and the Cities of Hephzibah and Blythe to
handle any type of service interruption.
65
4.1.3 Disaster Debris Management – Collection Strategy
Natural disasters strike with varying degrees of severity and pose both short- and long-term
challenges to public service providers. The most severe natural disasters generate debris in
quantities that can overwhelm existing solid waste management facilities or force communities
to use disposal options that otherwise would not be acceptable. Debris removal is a major
component of every disaster recovery operation. Much of the debris generated from natural
disasters is not hazardous. Soil, building material, and green waste, such as trees and shrubs,
make up most of the volume of disaster debris. Most of this waste can be recycled or reused
into useful commodities or inert landfilled.
The collection strategy for disaster debris management relies on multiple resources including 1)
self haul by others to County provided consolidation sites 2) re-deployment of County
contracted waste haulers under “force majeure” clauses so that collection of storm debris is
added to their service mix and 3) mobilization of County resources and capacity for collection of
storm debris. The County is currently working on the development of a Debris Management
Plan which will outline the roles, responsibilities and functions of various county departments
that would be involved in the process of disaster debris recovery. Under the existing plan, in
the event of a disaster Augusta-Richmond County would partner with County’s Department of
Public Services and the Corrections Institutions to mobilize inmate forces, utilize joint assets
(e.g.: collection vehicles, etc.), and set up centralized remote consolidation sites as well as
pulling resources and staff from other County departments. The County’s strategy would be
two-fold: (1) remove debris that is an immediate threat to public safety (e.g.: removing downed
trees from streets, etc.) and (2) remove remaining debris to assist with general clean up and
recovery within the community. Grinding equipment would be taken to the consolidation sites
where the debris would be chipped or ground before loading onto transfer vehicles to be
brought back to the County landfill for further processing and disposition. In addition to direct
County efforts, County solid waste contractors may also be required to assist with recovery
efforts.
Press cooperation during disasters greatly assists in communicating procedures to the public.
Direct communication with press representatives in all media will result in prominently
featured information being distributed (e.g. front page articles, radio lead stories, etc.) that will
instruct citizens on how to handle disaster debris and how to maximize recovery. The County
plans to supplement this with additional local radio announcements and newspaper notices to
notify the public of alternative programs for the residential and commercial waste that would
be generated from a disaster.
4.2 Assessment of Collection Programs
Augusta-Richmond County’s collection programs for residential solid waste are comprehensive
in scope of service and geographic coverage. It would be desirable to see the structure of the
66
service collection contracts to allow new customers to be added which would allow the
expansion into current individually contracted areas (e.g. Cities of Hephzibah and Blythe).
Similarly, the fee based funding mechanisms employed by the County enable easy expansion of
this service. Given these features, the current curbside collection of municipal solid waste,
recycling and yard trimmings is adequate for the Augusta-Richmond County.
Currently, residents within the Cities of Hephzibah and Blythe must subscribe to curbside solid
waste and/or recycling collection services through a private service provider. Once the Courtesy
Citizen Drop-off Area at the Augusta-Richmond County Landfill is completed (late 2008), then
these City residents will have the additional option to drop off their materials there. For the
future since the populations of both cities are relatively small compared to Augusta-Richmond
County, the County will evaluate expanding the geographic collection areas within their current
collection contracts to include both municipalities. If this option is viable, then local approval
will be needed by both the Cities of Hephzibah and Blythe to enter into these service
agreements. Overall the collection capacity is adequate for residents in Augusta-Richmond
County, Hephzibah and Blythe; therefore, no major improvements are needed at this time.
4.3 Inventory of Illegal Dumping/Littering
Illegal dumping and littering are included in the collection section because it suggests, in part, a
failure of the collection system. Illegal dumping is the disposal of waste in an un-permitted
area. Illegally dumped wastes are primarily non-hazardous materials that are dumped to avoid
either disposal fees or the time and effort required for proper disposal. Sites used for illegal
dumping vary, but typically include abandoned residential or commercial buildings; vacant lots
and wooded areas; and infrequently used alleys or roadways. Because of their accessibility and
poor lighting, areas along rural roads and railways are particularly vulnerable.
Augusta-Richmond County has a litter control ordinance that addresses all littering and illegal
dumping activities within the County. A copy of the ordinance may be found in Appendix A.
Two County code enforcement officers help enforce the ordinance. The County has a set of
procedures it adheres to when investigating an illegal dumping compliant. The offending
individual is issued a non-compliance notice and the following steps are followed during an
investigation: a Litter Crime Scene Investigation Form is completed, a work order is initiated to
investigate the illegal dumping claim, follow-up on the complaint occurs, the illegal dumping
investigation is closed and all appropriate documentation is completed. The two County code
enforcement officers identify and attempt to obtain compliance within a given time frame
(normally two weeks). If the complaint is not corrected, it is turned over to the Marshall’s
Office where the offending individual is cited and taken to court. A copy of Augusta-Richmond
County’s Illegal Dumping Procedure may be found in Appendix B. During the 2006/2007 year,
the code enforcement officers had 85 litter complaints/infractions and 25 illegal dumping
complaints/infractions all which were resolved.
67
The County also does community roadside litter pick-up with Public Services employees,
community service labor, inmate/prison labor and with volunteer clean-up activities. The
County also cleans-up illegal dump sites with Public Services’ employees and inmate/prison
labor as well as during volunteer community clean-ups.
4.4 Assessment of Programs to Address Illegal Disposal/Dumping
At this time, Augusta-Richmond County’s existing litter and illegal dumping ordinance is
adequate in addressing littering and illegal dumping within the County. The County is
extremely fortunate to have two County code enforcement officers to help enforce these
ordinances. Unfortunately with a large geographic area to cover and even with two
enforcement officers these ordinances can be difficult enforce. The County will continue to rely
on citizen participation as well as enforcement by the code officers to reduce the amount of
illegal dumping and littering offenses.
The County will continue to provide community roadside litter pick-ups and illegal dump site
clean-ups. Additional education efforts are needed to help reduce the amount of littering and
illegal dumping activities. Reestablishing a Keep Georgia Beautiful affiliate chapter would be an
advantage in educating residents about the affects of littering and illegal dumping, as well as
creating a less accepting attitude toward violators.
4.5 Needs and Goals
This section identifies the needs and goals for current and future collection programs for the
next ten years. The needs are based on the inventory and assessment of what collection
programs are currently in place.
The overall goal is for Augusta-Richmond County and the Cities of Hephzibah and Blythe to
ensure that an adequate, cost-effective collection infrastructure for solid waste and recyclables
is available over the planning period. A list of implementation actions that will help contribute
to the achievement of this goal may be found in Appendix G.

Augusta-Richmond County owns and operates two, “Subtitle D” Municipal Solid Waste (MSW)
Landfills; permit numbers 121-016D (SL) and 121-018D (MSWL). Located on Deans Bridge Road
in Blythe and across from the Fort Gordon Military Reservation, the landfill accepts about 1,300
tons per day of waste from businesses, industries, and residences from all over the Central
Savannah River Area (CSRA). A list of fees for use of Augusta-Richmond County’s solid waste
landfill may be found in Appendix C. The MSW Landfill features an active gas collection system
that was recently bought back by the County from a private operator.
Although yard trimmings are accepted at the Augusta-Richmond County’s municipal solid waste
landfill, the majority of these materials are not landfilled. The County operates a grinding and
chipping operation at the Landfill for yard trimmings. In addition, the County operates and
plans to continue operating their inert landfill. At this time there are no capacity limitations to
how much yard trimmings the County can handle.
Neither the City of Blythe nor the City of Hephzibah have disposal data for waste collected
within their cities, although they assume the waste collected within their jurisdictions is
disposed of at the ARC MSW Landfill. The Fort Gordon Army base contracts with Dorado
Waste to collect and haul the base’s garbage to the ARC landfill. Fort Gordon also operates a
C&D landfill and has two MSW landfills that are now closed. They do not take any waste
materials (i.e.: C&D) from outside the base.
5.1.1 Assurance of 10-Year Capacity
Augusta-Richmond County MSW landfill operations encompass 303 acres with 52 million cubic
yards of disposal capacity expected to last an estimated 112 years. As a result, ARC’s MSW
landfill capacity will provide more than sufficient means to ensure that all of the county’s
disposal needs are met well beyond the 10 year planning period as shown below in Table 5-2.
The required landfill capacity assurance letter may be found in Appendix D.

5.1.2 Contingency Strategy
Should an emergency situation render Augusta-Richmond County’s landfill operations not
viable, the County would either (1) use Advanced Disposal’s transfer station located in
Columbia County, (2) rent or lease Waste Management’s transfer station in Augusta-
Richmond County, or (3) allow Waste Management to operate the transfer station in
Augusta-Richmond County to process the waste. Waste accepted at the transfer station in
Columbia County would be hauled to a landfill in Macon. Waste accepted at Waste
Management’s transfer station in Augusta-Richmond County would be redirected to the
Three Rivers Landfill or a Waste Management Facility. The estimated length of time for
the County to implement this contingency plan for disposal is three days.
5.1.3 Disaster Debris Management – Disposal Strategy
In the event of a disaster, Augusta-Richmond County would enact the County’s Emergency
Management Agency’s Local Emergency Operations Plan (LEOP). The Agency’s director would
coordinate all services as needed and would include utilizing the County’s Department of Public
Services and the Corrections Institutions as well as additional County departments. The Center
would also coordinate with local, state, and federal agencies to supply the tools and resources
needed to handle any debris-generating natural disaster. The Augusta-Richmond County
Emergency Management Agency Local Emergency Operations Plan (LEOP) may be found online
at http://augustaga.gov/departments/ema/docs/PublicLeop2004.pdf. The County is currently
working on the development of a Debris Management Plan which will outline the roles,
responsibilities and functions of various county departments that would be involved in the
process of disaster debris recovery.
Under the current plan, the County’s landfill is the primary asset to be utilized for disposal of
disaster debris. Sufficient capacity is available to handle large peaks and surges in volume that
would result from disasters. The County has established a network of remote consolidation
sites that would be used to direct non-recyclable disaster debris to the landfill. In the event of a
disaster, Augusta-Richmond County would call upon all County Departments (e.g.: Solid Waste,
Public Services, Corrections, etc.) to mobilize forces, utilize joint assets (e.g.: collection vehicles,
etc.), and set up centralized remote consolidation sites. The County’s strategy would be two-
fold: (1) remove debris that is an immediate threat to public safety (e.g.: removing downed
trees from streets, etc.) and (2) remove remaining debris to assist with general clean up and
recovery within the community. Grinding equipment would be taken to the consolidation sites
where the debris would be chipped or ground before loading onto transfer vehicles to be
brought back to the County landfill for further processing and disposition. In addition to direct
County efforts, County solid waste contractors may also be required to assist with recovery
efforts, by activating a contractual “force majeure” provision that allows the County to direct
contractor resources towards disaster debris management.
73
Press cooperation during disasters greatly assists in communicating procedures to the public.
Direct communication with press representatives in all media will result in prominently
featured information being distributed (e.g. front page articles, radio lead stories, etc.) that will
instruct citizens on how to handle disaster debris and how to maximize recovery. The County
plans to supplement this with additional local radio announcements and newspaper notices to
notify the public of alternative programs for the residential and commercial waste that would
be generated from a disaster.
5.2 Assessment of Disposal
Based on the amount of waste requiring disposal during the next ten years as defined in the
Waste Disposal Stream Analysis, Augusta-Richmond County’s existing disposal facilities and
thermal treatment operations have the ability to handle the amount of waste projected for
disposal in each of the jurisdictions of the next ten years, taking into account the contingency
strategy should one or more of these facilities become available.
5.3 Statement of Needs and Goals
The goal of Augusta-Richmond County and the Cities of Hephzibah and Blythe is to make
sure that disposal facilities in the County meet regulatory requirements and have the
ability to sustain solid waste services over the next 10 years.
Section 6 Land Limitation Element
6.0 Introduction
This section deals with the inventory, analysis, and determination of land areas which, due to
environmental limitations or land use factors, are considered unsuitable for the development of
solid waste handling facilities. Although it may be technically feasible to build solid waste
handling facilities in most situations, there are regulatory and financial constraints which render
certain locations unavailable. Isolation, distances around airports, bodies of surface water and
local regulations represent only a few of the many potential constraints. Other siting
considerations may not be specifically prohibited but would result in more extensive
engineering, environmental, and hydrogeological requirements. The criteria are established to
provide for environmentally sound and financially practical disposal siting.
Specific items to be considered are as follows or the most stringent of current EPD rules:
(1) Natural Environmental Limitations:
74
Water supply watersheds: Georgia Department of Natural Resources
(DNR) Rule 391-3-16-.01(7)(c)1 requires that at any location within a small
water supply watershed, new solid waste landfills must have synthetic liners
and leachate collection systems.
Groundwater recharge areas: DNR Rule 391-3-16-.02(3) (a) requires
that in significant groundwater recharge areas, DNR shall not issue permits
for new solid waste landfills not having synthetic liners and leachate collection systems.
Wetlands: DNR Rule 391-3-16-.03(3) (e) establishes that solid waste
landfills may constitute an unacceptable use of a wetland.
River corridors: DNR Rule 391-3-16-.04(4) (h) prohibits the development
of new solid waste landfills within protected river corridors.
Protected mountains: DNR Rule 391-3-16-.05(4) (l) prohibits the
development of new solid waste landfills in areas designated as protected
mountains.
(2) Criteria for siting: The following items are criteria for siting solid waste facilities under DNR
Rules. Local governments preparing plans should consult with DNR for the most current
applicable rules.
Zoning: DNR Rule 391-3-4-.05(1) (a) requires that the site must conform to all local
zoning/land use ordinances, and that written verification of such be submitted to EPD.
Airport safety: DNR Rule 391-3-4-.05(1) (c) requires that new solid waste landfill units or
lateral expansions of existing units shall not be within 10,000 feet of any public use or
private use airport runway end used by turbojet aircraft or within 5,000 feet of any
public use or private use airport runway end used by only piston type aircraft.
Flood plains: DNR Rule 391-3-4-.05(1) (d) stipulates that any solid waste landfill located
in the 100-year flood plain shall not restrict the flow of the 100-year flood, reduce the
temporary water storage capacity of the flood plain, or result in a washout of solid
waste so as to pose a threat to human health or the environment.
Wetlands: DNR Rule 391-3-4-.05(1)(e) prohibits the development of solid waste landfills
in wetlands, as defined by the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers, unless evidence is
provided by the applicant to EPD that use of such wetlands has been permitted or
otherwise authorized under all other applicable state and federal laws and rules.
Fault areas: DNR Rule 391-3-4-.05(1) (f) requires that new landfill units
75
and lateral expansions of existing landfills shall not be located within 200 feet of a fault
that has had displacement in the Holocene Epoch unless the owner or operator
demonstrates to EPD that an alternative setback distance of less than 200 feet will
prevent damage to the structural integrity of the landfill unit and will be protective of
human health and the environment.
Seismic impact zones: DNR Rule 391-3-4-.05(1)(g) prohibits the
development of new landfill units and lateral expansions in seismic impact zones unless
the owner or operator demonstrates to EPD that all containment structures, including
liners, leachate collection systems, and surface water control systems are designed to
resist the maximum horizontal acceleration in lithified earth material for the site.
Unstable areas: DNR Rule 391-3-4-.05(1)(h) requires owners or operators
of new landfill units, existing landfill units, and lateral expansions located in
unstable areas to demonstrate that engineering measures have been
incorporated in the landfill unit's design to ensure that the integrity of the
structural components of the landfill unit will not be disrupted.
Significant groundwater recharge areas: DNR Rule 391-3-4-.05(1)(j)
requires new solid waste landfills or expansions of existing facilities within 2
miles of a significant groundwater recharge areas to have liners and leachate
collection systems, with the exception of facilities accepting waste generated
from outside the county in which the facility is located. In that case, the
facility must be totally outside of any area designated as a significant
groundwater recharge area.
Any entity requesting a renewal, modification, or issuance of a permit for a solid waste handling
facility from EPD must demonstrate that the facility or expansion is consistent with the local
government’s solid waste management plan. Chapter 391-3-4 of the Georgia Department of
Natural Resources’ Environmental Protection Division relates to Solid Waste Management in
Georgia. Chapter 391-3-4.05 deals specifically with the siting criteria associated with solid waste
handling facilities. Solid waste handling facility applicants should always check with DNR and
the local planning jurisdiction to verify procedures for siting solid waste handling facilities that
include but are not limited to the following:
• DNR Rule 391-3-4-.05(1) (b) requires that whenever any applicant begins a process to
select a site for a solid waste disposal facility, documentation demonstrating compliance
with O.C.G.A. § 12-8-26(a) be submitted to EPD; further, whenever any applicant takes
action resulting in a siting decision for a publicly or privately owned solid waste disposal
facility, documentation demonstrating compliance with O.C.G.A. § 12-8-26(b) be
submitted to EPD.
76
• Once a site has been selected, the applicant must conduct a Hydrological Assessment
in accordance with the provisions of DNR Rule 391-3-4- .05(1) (k). Preparation of the
land limitation element of a solid waste management plan should comply with the Solid
Waste Management Act and the Rules of the Department of Natural Resources (DNR)
for Solid Waste Management (Chapter 391-3-4) relating to historic sites, airports,
jurisdictional boundaries, access, etc. These documents should be consulted for specifics
on land limitations and siting of solid waste management facilities.
If an applicant undertakes the Facilities Issues Negotiation Process pursuant to a facility
siting decision, the process will be undertaken in accordance with O.C.G.A. § 12-8-32
and any guidelines issued by the Department pursuant to State law.
6.1 Inventory Land Areas
Augusta-Richmond County is located in east central Georgia next to the Savannah River. The
Savannah River separates Georgia from the neighboring state of South Carolina. Richmond
County occupies a land area of 207,386 acres, or 324.04 square miles, plus 2,823 acres (4.41 sq.
mi.) of water area. Augusta accounts for approximately 93% of the total acreage in the county.
Richmond County straddles the "Fall Line," a geologic boundary following the Appalachian
Mountain range from Alabama to New York. In Georgia and South Carolina the Fall Line
separates the Piedmont from the Coastal Plain. The Savannah River and its tributaries drain
most of the county.
6.1.1 Water Supply Watersheds
The Georgia Department of Natural Resources (DNR) defines a water supply watershed as the
area of land upstream of a governmentally owned public drinking water intake or water supply
reservoir. DNR has established minimum criteria for the protection of drinking water
watersheds. This protection is necessary for the enhancement of public health, safety and
welfare, as well as to assure that surface sources of drinking water are of high quality in order
to be treated to meet all State and Federal drinking water standards. Separate criteria have
been established for large watersheds (100+ square miles in the drainage basin) and small
watersheds (<100 square miles in the drainage basin). All water supply watersheds in Augusta-
Richmond County are subject to DNR’s Criteria for Water Supply Watersheds.
The removal of vegetation and the introduction of paving for roads, parking lots, driveways and
other impervious services increase run-off on a site. This in turn increases erosion, flooding and
sedimentation of water sources. The DNR criteria establish buffer zone requirements adjacent
to perennial streams and specify allowable impervious surface densities adjacent to such
streams. These requirements are designed to prevent intensive development of a water supply
watershed from contaminating a water source to a point where it cannot be treated to meet
drinking water standards.
77
Richmond County contains one large watershed and one small watershed. A map of Augusta-
Richmond County’s water supply watersheds can be found on Map C. The Middle Savannah
River Watershed is the large watershed. The Augusta-Richmond County’s water supply comes
from the Savannah River via the Augusta Canal. The Augusta Lock and Dam, located on the
canal approximately 4 miles above the raw water pumping station, controls water flow into the
canal.

watershed is located in northwest Richmond County, and a portion of Columbia County, and
covers approximately 15 square miles. The watershed drains to Butler Reservoir, which is the
source of water for Fort Gordon. The Fort is permitted to withdraw 5.4 MGD from the reservoir.
The watershed is characterized by low-density residential development, woodlands and
scattered commercial uses. Since the opening of the Jimmie Dyess Parkway in 1998, urban
development has increased in the watershed area. Other planned road improvement projects
will no doubt increase development pressure.
Augusta currently has in place several ordinances and programs to protect water supply
watersheds from pollution or alteration. This includes a group of land use and development
ordinances, as well as an ordinance that applies to the large Middle Savannah River Watershed.
6.1.2 Groundwater Recharge Areas
Groundwater recharge areas are portions of the earth’s surface where water infiltrates the
ground to replenish an aquifer, which is any stratum or zone of rock beneath the surface of the
earth capable of containing or producing water from a well. In order to avoid toxic and
hazardous waste contamination to drinking water supplies, groundwater or aquifer recharge
areas must be protected. While recharge takes place throughout almost all of Georgia’s land
area, the rate or amount of recharge reaching underground aquifers varies from place to place
depending on geologic conditions.
According to data provided by the Georgia Department of Natural Resources, “the two major
aquifers in Augusta-Richmond County are the Upper Cretaceous and Basal Cretaceous aquifers.
The Upper Cretaceous aquifer is the shallower of the two reservoirs, and is not extensively
developed. Most of the groundwater used in the Augusta-Richmond County is pumped from
the Basal Cretaceous aquifer. The recharge area for the Cretaceous aquifer covers the majority
of Richmond County, and is classified as a significant groundwater recharge area by the Georgia
Department of Natural Resources. Groundwater Recharge Areas in the County may be found
on Map D. According to DNR's Ground-Water Pollution Susceptibility Map of Georgia,
Hydrologic Atlas 20, some of the recharge area has a high susceptibility to pollution and some
has a medium susceptibility to pollution.”
Both the state and federal government regulate groundwater recharge areas. DNR’s Rules for
Environmental Planning Criteria include restrictions and regulations on sanitary landfills, land
disposal of hazardous wastes, spray irrigation of wastewater and wastewater treatment basins.

6.1.3 Wetlands
Under the Clean Water Act, the term wetlands means "those areas that are inundated or
saturated by surface or ground water at a frequency and duration sufficient to support, and
that under normal circumstances do support, a prevalence of vegetation typically adapted for
life in saturated soil conditions. Wetlands generally include swamps, marshes, bogs and similar
areas." (EPA Regulations at 40 CFR 230.3) Wetlands are important to both the environment and
the economy. Wetlands provide a wide range of benefits that include habitat, support of
commercial and recreational fisheries, reduction of flood damages, and abatement of water
pollution. Hazardous or toxic waste receiving, treatment or disposal facilities and sanitary
landfills are prohibited within wetland areas.
Augusta-Richmond County wetland areas are found on Map E. In Richmond County wetlands
are located adjacent to the Savannah River, the Augusta Canal, and the major creeks and
tributaries that drain the county. The largest concentration of wetlands is found in the Phinizy
Swamp, the large floodplain of the Savannah River located on the east side of the county. Local
wetlands provide a habitat for native plants and animals, provide a place for migrating birds to
rest and feed, absorb and slow floodwaters, and filter pollutants before they reach the
Savannah River and other waterbodies. The Phinizy Swamp is being used to educate children
and adults about the important functions of wetlands and the need to protect and preserve
them.
The Augusta-Richmond County, in cooperation with residents, developers, environmental
organizations, educators, and others, participates in a variety of programs to protect wetlands
and improve water quality. The types of active programs include the monitoring and
assessment of water quality, permitting, Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDLs), and public
outreach/education.

6.1.4 River Corridors
River corridors and their immediate shore land environment (sometimes referred to as the
riparian zone) are areas of critical environmental significance. They provide a number of
benefits including: drinking water, wildlife habitat, recreational opportunities, flood storage
capacity, and assimilative capacity for wastewater discharges-the river or stream's ability to
dilute wastewater to a point when it is no longer a threat to human health.
Section 305(b) of the federal Clean Water Act requires that all states biennially list navigable
waters throughout the state and provide a description of the water quality of such streams and
its impact on its designated uses. Consistent with these requirements, DNR has developed
minimum planning criteria for its river corridors in order to protect these vital resources.
The Savannah River is a protected river under the Georgia Mountain and River Corridor
Protection Act. The Savannah River is a unique resource and has played a central role in the
history and development of Augusta and surrounding communities. At Augusta the river rolls
over the fall line separating the Piedmont and Coastal Plain physiographic provinces. The river
supports a variety of plants, animals and wildlife and enhances the quality of life for residents.
A map of the Savannah River corridor may be found on Map F.

6.1.5 Flood Plains
As a body of water (e.g. river, stream, or creek) erodes and deposits material, it may shift its
course and over a period of time build up a deposit of material in its valley bottom. This
deposited material takes the shape of a plain, called a floodplain, which forms at elevations
near that of the water’s surface. About 25 percent of Richmond County (43,600 acres) is
comprised of floodplains, stream terraces, and interstream divides. According to Flood
Insurance Rates Maps / Flood Boundary and Floodway Maps published by the Federal
Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), floodplains are located within and adjacent to the
Savannah River and its tributaries (e.g. Rock, Rae’s, Crane, Rocky, Butler, Spirit and McBean
Creeks). The 100-year flood also referred to as the "base flood" is defined as the flood having a
one percent probability of being equaled or exceeded in any given year.
Augusta has participated in the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) for approximately 30
years. Augusta-Richmond County also has Flood Damage Prevention Ordinance that is based on
FEMA's model ordinance. The ordinance requires anyone who wants to grade, fill, erect a
structure, or otherwise develop in a floodplain to obtain a permit before starting any land
disturbance or construction. The ordinance includes specific standards for development in
floodplains and requires the filing of an Elevation Certificate before Augusta-Richmond County
issues a certificate of occupancy. A group of maps delineate the applicable areas in Augusta-
Richmond County susceptible to flooding during the 100-year and 500-year design floods. The
maps are the basis for determining the areas regulated by the Flood Damage Prevention
Ordinance. Floodplains throughout Augusta-Richmond County are illustrated on Map G.
Augusta-Richmond County has also developed a Flood Hazard Mitigation Plan. The purpose of
the Flood Hazard Mitigation Plan is to assess flood risks and to articulate a comprehensive
strategy for implementing flood mitigation activities. The plan outlines the risks associated with
flooding, describes the existing conditions in Augusta, describes existing mitigation programs
and activities, and presents a list of recommended mitigation strategies and activities.

6.1.6 Local Zoning/Land Use
Zoning is an act of city or county authorities by exercise of police powers in regulating,
controlling or specifying the type of use to which the property may be put in specific areas.
Augusta-Richmond County, Blythe and Hephzibah have ordinances in place that regulate the
use of land. Augusta-Richmond County’s code is very detailed, including several classifications
of residential, commercial, and industrial uses, and does not allow solid waste handling facilities
as permitted uses in any district without Special Exception and only if in harmony with the
various elements or objectives of the Master Plan/Planning Department in effect. Application
for a Special Exception must be made to the Planning Department. A zoning map for Augusta-
Richmond County may be found on Map H.

6.1.8 Airport Proximity
There are two airports in Augusta: Augusta Regional Airport at Bush Field and Daniel Field.
Augusta Regional Airport is a 1,500-acre commercial airport located at the intersection of
Tobacco Road and Doug Barnard Parkway (SR 56 Spur). Major facilities include an 8,000-foot
primary runway, a 6,000-foot crosswind runway, a terminal, an air traffic control tower, a
facilities maintenance office, and a weather service station. Three commercial carriers serve
Augusta Regional: Atlantic Southeast Airlines, US Airways Express and Continental Express.
Atlantic Southeast provides service to Atlanta's Hartsfield International, while US Airways
Express flies to Charlotte International. Continental Express, which began serving the Augusta
market in March 2003, has flights to Houston and Newark. Augusta Regional Airport is operated
under the direction of the 13-member Augusta Aviation Commission.
Daniel Field, located on a 152-acre site at the intersection of Wrightsboro Road and Highland
Avenue, is a general aviation airport. Major facilities include two runways, two hangars,
outdoor tie-down areas, and a control tower. Daniel Field was once the commercial airport for
Augusta. Charter flights, flight training, airplane storage, and fuel and maintenance services are
provided. Daniel Field is active year-round, but is especially busy in early April during the
Masters ® Golf Tournament. The airport is operated under the direction of the 13-member
General Aviation Commission.
Per DNR criteria, no solid waste handling facility may be located within 10,000 feet from the
end of the runway.
6.1.9 Jurisdictional Boundaries
Augusta-Richmond County is bordered by Columbia and McDuffie Counties to the north and
west and Burke and Jefferson Counties to the south. Potential siting of solid waste handling
facilities within Augusta-Richmond County must be consistent with siting criteria in neighboring
jurisdictions.
6.1.10 Access
The highway system throughout Augusta-Richmond County is well-maintained and provides
access to the majority of the community. The consistent availability of paved state and county
highways in Augusta-Richmond County reduces the siting hurdle for potential solid waste
handling facilities.
6.2 Local Procedures for Siting Solid Waste Facilities
6.2.1 All Solid Waste Handling and Disposal Facilities
Any entity requesting a renewal, modification, or issuance of a solid waste handling permit
from EPD must demonstrate that the facility or facility expansion is consistent with the local
government’s solid waste management plan. Chapter 391-3-4.05 of the Georgia Department of
92
Natural Resources’ Environmental Protection Division Rules deals specifically with the siting
criteria associated with siting landfills and/or solid waste transfer facilities.
6.2.2 Privately Owned Waste Handling and Disposal Facilities
All privately owned waste handling and disposal facilities requesting a renewal, modification, or
issuance of a permit from EPD or the County must demonstrate that the facility or facility
expansion is consistent with the local government’s solid waste management plan. In addition
to any criteria set forth under DNR’s regulations, the County will also use the following criteria
to determine whether the issuance of the requested permit is consistent with the Solid Waste
Management Plan:
A determination has been made by the County that operation of the proposed facility or
facility expansion would be consistent with regulations established by the County for
privately operated waste handling and disposal facilities as provided for in County
Ordinance.
A determination has been made by the County that there is a need for the proposed facility
or facility expansion, based on projected remaining useful life of existing disposal facilities,
will be the initial screen for any finding of consistency with this solid waste management
plan. Need will be defined as less than 10 years of disposal capacity remaining, at the time
that the request is submitted, in existing disposal facilities recognized in this solid waste
management plan. Remaining disposal capacity will be calculated based on an engineering
calculation of remaining capacity divided by the annual rate of disposal of in-County and
contracted out-of-county waste at the time that the request is submitted given waste
reduction programs and performance in place at that time.
A determination has been made by the County that the proposed facility or facility
expansion is not sited in an area deemed unsuitable according to development criteria
(examples include, but are not limited to: in groundwater recharge areas; located within
two miles of a municipal water supply; on soils poorly suited for development; on slopes of
greater than 25 percent; in area that do not have easy accessibility to transportation
networks; on urban or built up lands; on or around water bodies or wetlands; or on federal,
state, or public lands.
A determination has been made by the County that the proposed facility or facility
expansion is sited in a location that is consistent with all local zoning ordinances.
A determination has been made by the County that the proposed facility or facility
expansion does not negatively impact other natural or cultural resources of the County.
93
A determination has been made by the County that the proposed facility or facility
expansion does not negatively impact the current solid waste management infrastructure of
the County;
A determination has been made by the County that the proposed facility or facility
expansion does not negatively impact collection capability and/or disposal capacity
identified in the Plan.
A determination has been made by the County that the proposed facility or facility
expansion does not negatively impact the County’s ability to contribute to the state-wide
solid waste reduction.
A determination has been made by the County that the proposed facility or facility
expansion does not negatively impact the financial viability of the County’s solid waste
management system.
A determination has been made by the County that the proposed facility or facility
expansion is properly insured so that closure and post-closure care is assured.
A determination has been made by the County that the proposed facility or facility
expansion has a mitigation plan above and beyond financial assurance already required.
A determination has been made by the County that the past performance of other waste
handling facilities owned or operated by the applicant will be used in determining the
feasibility of the new facility or facility expansion. The county may withhold approval based
on such past performance.
A determination has been made by the County that the proposed facility or facility
expansion is in the best interest of public health and safety.
No proposed privately owned facility or facility expansion will be sited without a letter from the
Augusta-Richmond County Administrator and the City Councils of Blythe and Hephzibah (if said
facility is within their city limits) stating that the facility is consistent with the Solid Waste
Management Plan. The Augusta-Richmond County Commission and the City Councils of Blythe
and Hephzibah may hold one or more public hearings to gather input to make this
determination for their respective jurisdictions.
Should a determination be made by the Administrator that one or more public hearings shall be
held, then the applicants of proposed facilities or facility expansions shall consult with County
and City (if said facility is within their city limits) officials in order to identify an appropriate date
to schedule a public hearing. The applicant shall advertise the public hearing in the local
newspaper and distribute letters of intent to adjacent property owners no less than 15 days
94
prior to the date of the scheduled hearing. Should the Commission and Council (if said facility is
within their city limits) determine, based on information provided, to disapprove the proposal
based on inconsistency with the adopted solid waste management plan, the applicant may
appeal and provide additional information at a subsequent Commission and Council (if said
facility is within their city limits) meeting. Applicants may appeal any additional negative ruling
by the Commission and Council (if said facility is within their city limits) to circuit court.
6.3 Assessment of Land Limitation
The goal of the land limitation element is to identify areas of the County which should be
avoided when developing solid waste handling and disposal facilities. This is an effort towards
providing environmentally and socially sound solid waste handling and disposal facilities. As the
County considers siting new solid waste handling and disposal facilities, local officials need to
be cognizant of environmental considerations as well as other special needs. Regulation should
not necessarily result in the prohibition of privately owned solid waste disposal facilities but
ensure that the development of such facilities does not conflict with this Plan, local
comprehensive planning documents, or other local, state and federal regulations. While the
maps contained in this section illustrate some of the land limitations applicable in Augusta-
Richmond County, it is important to note that additional local, state and federal siting criteria
may result in additional properties being deemed inappropriate for the siting of privately
owned solid waste handling and disposal facilities.
6.3.1 Water Supply Watersheds
Richmond County contains two watersheds: the Middle Savannah Watershed and the Butler
Creek Watershed. The Savannah River is Augusta-Richmond County’s primary source for public
drinking water supply, supplemented by groundwater wells located throughout the county.
Water is also withdrawn from the Augusta Canal, which is fed by and located next to the river.
A Water Supply Protection ordinance for the Savannah River may be found in Chapter 8-7-1 of
the Augusta-Richmond County Code.
The Butler Creek Watershed above Butler Reservoir is characterized by low-density residential
development, woodlands and scattered commercial uses. For a number of years, the Butler
Creek watershed served as the source of water for Fort Gordon; however, since 2007 the
Augusta Utilities Department has provided drinking water to the base.
Although they must meet stringent DNR rules, due to the impact that a potential failure would
have on water supply to area residents, solid waste handling facilities shall not be located
within any water supply watersheds in Augusta-Richmond County.
6.3.2 Groundwater Recharge Areas
The citizens of Augusta-Richmond County and the Cities of Blythe and Hephzibah rely on
groundwater sources for their drinking water supply. In addition to DNR rules, solid waste
95
handling facilities shall be prohibited from locating within 2 miles of portions of the county that
have been identified as groundwater recharge areas. The potential for leachate collection
system and/or synthetic liner failure places vital groundwater sources for major portions of the
county in jeopardy.
6.3.3 Wetlands
Consistent with DNR rules, solid waste handling facilities shall not be located within identified
wetland areas.
6.3.4 River Corridors
The Savannah River (illustrated on Map F) is a protected river and is on the U.S. EPA’s list of
303(D)/305(B) protected rivers due to apparently high levels of particular contaminants.
Because these critical waterways are already impaired by one or more pollutants, the siting of
solid waste handling facilities within close proximity to these water courses can easily
compound existing problems. As a result, solid waste handling facilities shall not be located
within 2 miles of a protected river corridor. In addition, other surface waters throughout the
county can easily be contaminated by activities associated with mismanaged or failing solid
waste handling facilities. As a result, all other navigatable river corridors shall be subject to
DNR’s minimum planning criteria.
6.3.5 Floodplains
The critical and fragile habitats associated with wetlands are often present in floodplains. In
addition, floodplains that may be disrupted or altered by filling activities associated with solid
waste handling facilities – potentially creating flooding problems for downstream property
owners. Solid waste handling facilities shall be prohibited from being located within floodplain
areas.
6.3.6 Local Zoning/Land Use
Augusta-Richmond County has appropriate regulations in place to discourage the location of
solid waste facilities in areas identified as unsuitable. The location of any potential solid waste
handling facility in these jurisdictions would require zoning amendments.
The Cities of Blythe and Hephzibah do not have local land use regulations that address siting of
such facilities; however, these communities are small in size and population concentrations. As
a result, the location of solid waste handling facilities would be highly unlikely, albeit
inappropriate, regardless of whether local land use regulations were in place.
6.3.7 Historic Resources
Augusta-Richmond County continues to make significant investments in historic resources. In
most recent history, the consolidated government has taken steps to become more directly
involved in historic preservation. Historic preservation in Augusta is marked by a wide variety of
activities. From preparation of National Register nominations, to rehabilitation of historic
96
buildings, to participation in historic preservation programs, individuals and organizations are
interested in preserving the past and at the same time make it a part of Augusta-Richmond
County’s future. Augusta-Richmond County’s historic preservation movement has grown to the
point where it is now an integral part of neighborhood revitalization, economic development
and tourism. Solid waste handling facilities have the potential to negatively impact a
community’s historic resources due to noise, odor, traffic, etc. It is in the best interest of
Augusta-Richmond County and the cities of Blythe and Hephzibah to prohibit the siting of
nearby solid waste handling facilities. Therefore, such Solid waste handling facilities shall not be
located within 3 miles of a historic resource.
6.3.8 Airport Proximity
In accordance with DNR Rule 391-3-4-.05(1)(c), Augusta-Richmond County shall require that
new solid waste landfill units or lateral expansions of existing units shall not be within 10,000
feet of any public use or private use airport runway end used by turbojet aircraft or within
5,000 feet of any public use or private use airport runway end used by only piston type aircraft.
Because future runway expansion and/or the construction of additional runways are possible
scenarios, the 10,000 foot buffer should be observed from all sides of the property.
6.3.9 Jurisdictional Boundaries
Unless multi-jurisdictional agreements are made between Augusta-Richmond County and its
neighboring counties, solid waste handling facilities should be located in such a way as not to
be a detriment to these other jurisdictions. The county respects the siting criteria adopted by its
neighboring counties.
6.3.10 Access
Any future solid waste handling facility in Augusta-Richmond County shall be sited on an easily
accessible parcel of land with direct paved road access that does not interfere with rail system
operations.
6.4 Goals
To ensure all solid waste handling facilities are compatible with surrounding areas and are
placed in areas suitable and approved for such developments within the County.
Section 7 Education and Public Involvement Element
7.0 Introduction
The purpose of this section of the Plan is to provide an inventory and assessment of existing
educational programs and public involvement activities available in Augusta Richmond County
and the Cities of Blythe and Hephzibah. Local governments throughout Georgia are encouraging
97
residents to become more aware of the true costs of solid waste management and the need for
waste reduction, recycling and siting of new facilities.
7.1 Inventory Existing Public Education Programs and Public Involvement Opportunities
Solid waste, waste reduction, recycling, and other environmental education programs are
available to all citizens within Augusta-Richmond County, the City of Hephzibah and the City of
Blythe. Table 7-1 provides an inventory of all existing environmental education initiatives in
Augusta-Richmond County as they relate to solid waste management.

7.1.1 Local Government Programs
Augusta-Richmond County has dedicated an Officer through its Code Enforcement Program to
provide information, education, and customer service to students, citizens, civic organizations,
and businesses on all county solid waste, recycling, and litter prevention programs. The County
coordinates school education programs; teaches solid waste, landfill, waste reduction, recycling
and other environmental education topics to a variety of age groups; conducts workshops,
presentations, and tours of the landfill for school and community groups; designs and produces
brochures, manuals, reports and other print media; plans, coordinates, directs, and participates
in special events; and maintains a speakers bureau comprised of at least two (2) Solid Waste
Department staff members and the dedicated Code Enforcement Officer.
The County sponsors a number of educational programs that involve public participation such
as litter pick up events (e.g.: Adopt-a-Highway, Adopt-a-Road, Adopt-a-Stream, Rivers Alive)
and recycling and conservation awareness activities (e.g.: one day recycling events) associated
with the observance of America Recycles Day and Earth Day. Although Augusta-Richmond
County jurisdictions do not currently fund a Keep Georgia Beautiful (KGB) affiliate program, the
County does have access to KGB resources as needed.
In addition, nine public hearings were held during the development of this solid waste
management plan where educational information was distributed and staff was available to
answer questions about local solid waste and recycling efforts. The first public hearing was held
99
on January 8, 2008 at the McBean Community Center in conjunction with Augusta-Richmond
County’s Comprehensive Plan Update. Eight additional hearings were held throughout the
month; ending on January 31, 2008. See Appendix E. All interested parties along with the
general public were encouraged to attend and become involved in the planning process
through public advertisements. The hearings were designed to inform the public on the
planning process and to encourage input on solid waste goals, needs, and issues. A second set
of public hearings, six in total, took place near the conclusion of the planning process
throughout the County between June 3, 2008 and June 19, 2008. See Appendix F. A copy of the
Plan was prepared and distributed to those in attendance for review and comment.
7.1.2 Solid Waste Committee/Task Force
There is currently no solid waste committee/task force in place within the County or other area
jurisdictions.
7.1.3 School System Programs
The Augusta-Richmond County Solid Waste Department’s Code Enforcement program provides
a dedicated Officer who presents educational programs about solid waste and recycling to area
students. The scope of the educational program includes interactive presentations with the
help of ARC’s recycling mascot ‘Bin-E,’ age appropriate handouts, and distribution of fun
promotional items such as recycled steel slinkys, recycled pencils, etc.
In addition, the state’s science curriculum objectives (Georgia Performance Standards) provide
a standardized curriculum that introduces students to solid waste and waste reduction
principles. Area students in grades K through 12 are regularly exposed to this curriculum. Along
with its education efforts the Augusta-Richmond County BOE has arranged for the collection of
corrugated cardboard from each school through their solid waste hauler.
7.1.4 Litter Control Programs
Augusta-Richmond County has adopted ordinances regulating litter and illegal dumping. The
Cities of Blythe and Hephzibah cite litter and illegal dumping violations under the Georgia code.
Enforcement is largely the responsibility of local law enforcement and is conducted
predominantly on a complaint basis.
7.1.5 Regional RDC Programs
Although the Central Savannah River Area (CSRA) Regional Development Center (RDC) does not
have any regional recycling programs in place, the CSRA Environmental Science Education
Cooperative does provide information and access to environmental science education
programs to the County. The County’s involvement includes participation in organized
activities/programs for the region, including one-day special events, such as for electronics and
glass recycling.
100
7.2 Assess Adequacy of Environmental Education Initiatives
Augusta-Richmond County has designated staff that provides the public with information on
solid waste management, waste reduction practices and services, and litter prevention efforts
throughout the County.
7.2.1 Opportunities for Public Involvement
Augusta-Richmond County and the Cities of Blythe and Hephzibah rely on their staff’s
interaction with the public as well as public meetings to involve the public in local solid waste
management issues. In addition, the public can participate in a number of local and regional
waste reduction initiatives, including recycling drop-off and litter pick-up events.
7.2.2 Education Programs
Although the County has the infrastructure in place to provide public awareness of local solid
waste management and waste reduction practices and programs, the County acknowledges
that further improvements are needed to increase the public’s awareness of and involvement
in local solid waste programs. For example, based on information from a 2004 Waste
Composition Analysis, 32 percent of the Augusta-Richmond County waste stream consists of
organic materials. Yet existing educational programs do not adequately target this sector of
waste. In addition, although recycling services are available to the general public (i.e.: drop-off,
curbside), the amount of recycling tonnage currently collected in the County is low compared
with other similar-size programs; suggesting only modest participation.
7.3 Statement of Needs and Goals
Augusta-Richmond County’s goal is to provide all necessary information to the general public so
they are aware of the importance of proper solid waste management and understand their
role.

until fully paid and satisfied. Said execution may be enforced in the same manner, and with the
addition of interest and costs, as provided by law for the
enforcement of executions for ad valorem taxes. In addition, any person or party violating this
section may be prosecuted and, if convicted, shall be subject to the penalties provided in Sec.
1-6-1.

Design contract Change Order for Augusta Utilities Department project Fort Gordon - 1.0 Million Gallon Elevated
Storage Tank Project.
Department:Augusta Utilities Department
Caption:Motion to approve Change Order funding to Johnson, Laschober &
Associates, and P.C. in the amount of $ 97,600.00 for the fee associated with
designing for the Fort Gordon additional 1.0 Million Gallon Elevated
Storage Tank, Demolition of the 2.25 million standpipe and installation of
approximately 1,250 linear feet of ductile iron pipe. (Approved by
Engineering Services Committee June 29, 2009)
Background:The privatization of utilities contract between Fort Gordon and Augusta
Richmond County was awarded September 2007. The requirements of the
contract include executing the initial capital upgrades (ICU) of the water and
wastewater systems throughout the installation of Fort Gordon. One of the
initial capital upgrade projects is to provide a 1.0 Million Gallon Elevated
Storage Tank and evaluate the existing 2.25 million gallon standpipe. Tank
Industry Consultants (TIC) was retained by JLA to perform structural
evaluation of the existing 2.25 million gallon stand pipe to determine the
adequacy of the tank with respect to ANSI/AWWA D100-05 and CPI
Standard 650 and to make recommendations as to the feasibility of repairing
and renovating the standpipe or Demolish the standpipe. Based on JLA‘s
report it would be more cost effective for AUD to demolish the 2.25 stand
pipe and build a new tank in its place. This project will now consist of the
design of two 1 million gallon elevated storage tanks, demolition of the
existing 2.25 million standpipe and installation of approximately 1,250
linear feet of ductile iron located on the south side of Chamberlin Ave. The
tanks will provide the additional 2 million gallons storage for the Augusta
Utilities Department's 630 Water Pressure Zone System within Fort Gordon
and meet the current and future demands of Fort Gordon.
Analysis:Augusta Utilities Department evaluated Johnson, Laschober & Associates,
P.C proposal for engineering services to design the Fort Gordon - Additional
1.0 Million Gallon Elevated Storage Tank ,Demolition of the 2.25 million
standpipe and installation of approximately 1,250 linear feet of ductile iron
pipe. The proposal is considered fair and reasonable to accomplish the
project.
Financial Impact:The amount submitted for the design of this project was $97,600.00 . These
funds are available from the following account: 507043410-5212115 /
88880072-5212115
Alternatives:1. Reject the approved change order of the engineering contract, which

Evaluation of Options for Operations of Water Pollution Control Facilities and Programs
Department:Utilities
Caption:Motion to approve the solicitation of bids for the Professional Services
Agreement for the Operations of the Water Pollution Control Facilities to
include a submittal from Augusta Utilities for in-house operation as well and
have the information back for review as soon as possible. (Approved by
Engineering Services Committee June 29, 2009)
Background:On July 20, 1999 Augusta and Operations Management International, Inc.
(OMI) entered into an agreement for operations, maintenance and
management services of Augusta's water pollution control facilities and
programs. The original agreement ran through December 31, 2004. This
agreement was extended for one year in 2004 and for an additional four
years in 2005. The current agreement will expire on December 31,
2009. The ending of this agreement necessitates that Augusta make a
significant decision about how to proceed with these activities in the
future. We believe it would be beneficial for Augusta to enlist a specialist in
the area of facility and system management to evaluate our current
operational practices and our future needs and assist in developing a
recommendation to the Commission regarding a path forward. This
evaluation would specifically look at the options of continuing contract
operations or reintegrating these activities into the Utilities Department
operating structure.
Analysis:In response to the pending end of our current agreement with OMI we
would like to enlist the services of McKim & Creed to perform an
evaluation of our current needs regarding facility and program operations.
This firm has an excellent reputation in the water and wastewater consulting
field and they are not involved in plant operations activities. We believe that
they can provide a thorough and objective evaluation of our current needs
and how to best meet those needs. This approach will allow for an objective
review of the costs and benefits of the various options available to Augusta
at this critical transition time. This review will in turn allow Augusta to
make a decision based on factual information which will provide the most
benefits for the community. McKim & Creed has offered the attached
professional services proposal to perform this work. According to the
proposal the work can be accomplished in 12 weeks from notice to proceed.
Based upon the results of this evaluation and the decision of the
Commission, the Utilities Department would either initiate a new RFQ
process for contract operations or begin recruiting and hiring new staff to
prepare for the assumption of operations by AUD. All of these activities
would need to be completed in time to allow for their implementation at
midnight on December 31, 2009. If the decision of the Commission is to
initiate a new RFQ for contract operations McKim & Creed would not be
Cover Memo
allowed to submit a statement of qualifications for this work.
Financial Impact:Funds for this authorization can be charged to:$73,850.00 from account
506043310-5212999.
Alternatives:1) Approve a Professional Services Agreement with the consulting firm
McKim & Creed in an amount not to exceed $73,850.00 for the Evaluation
of Alternatives for Operations of Water Pollution Control Facilities and
Programs; 2) Reject the proposal and proceed with an internal evaluation
without the benefit of a third-party assessment.
Recommendation:We recommend the Commission approve a Professional Services

Alternatives for Operations of Water Pollution Control Facilities and
Programs in an amount not to exceed $73,850.00 )

Increase Graves' PO for Judical Center Testing
Department:Public Services Department - Facilities Management Division
Caption:Motion to approve an increase in the Purchase Order with Graves
Engineering for construction testing on the Judicial Center by $56,000 to
$178,000 to cover the cost of testing related to unforeseen conditions.
(Approved by Engineering Services Committee June 29, 2009)
Background:Graves Engineering Services was approved at the Commission Meeting of
January 22, 2009 for the Judicial Center construction material testing and
sub-surface Special Inspections. The Purchase Order was issued, based on
an estimated scope of work, in the amount of $122,000.
Analysis:Due to unforeseen conditions, including, but not limited to: removal and
replacement of unsuitable soils, weather, removal of abandoned
underground structures and changes in some of the means of construction,
the scope of work has increased. As such, the estimated testing required to
satisfy regulatory requirements has increased by an estimated $56,000 and
staff recommends increasing the PO by this amount.
Financial Impact:The increase in the PO is $56,000.00 with the revised total to be
$178,000.00.
Alternatives:1. Approve an increase in the Purchase Order with Graves Engineering for
construction testing on the Judicial Center by $56,000 to $178,000 to cover
the cost of testing related to unforeseen conditions. 2. Do not approve the
increase.

street lighting request 6/17/09
Department:Abie Ladson, Director
Caption:Motion to approve a resolution creating street lighting districts. (Approved
by Engineering Services Committee June 29, 2009)
Background:The Engineering Department has been petitioned by the citizens requesting
street lighting in their neighborhood pursuant to a 1971 Commission
Resolution authorizing the creating of Street Lighting Districts. The
petitioners agree to pay for all costs associated with the installation, ongoing

been an effective measure to increase pedestrian and vehicular safety, assist
in crime prevention, and to promote businesses and community pride.
Financial Impact:Street Lighting Districts are funded by a self supporting fund. Street
Lighting charges vary based on the type lighting requested or required,
billable front footage, and light wattage and spacing. Costs for the subject
districts follow:Lighting District No. 338C Walton Hills $.43

Department:Public Services Department - Maintenance Division
Caption:Motion to approve request to replace 320' x 60" of deteriorated corrugated
metal pipe (CMP) pipe on Walden Drive and award contract to Blair
Construction, low bidder, in amount of $55,250. (Approved by
