ITEM BACKGROUND:
The CudjoeKey lined landfill area was originally constructed in 1991, but the cells
have never been used for waste disposal. The lined area consists of four separate cells (Cells A, B, C and D),
separated by interior isolation berms. Cells C and Dare permitted by FDEP to operate as a Class I landfill
(receives an average of 20 tons or more of solid waste per day).The current five-year permit expired on March
30, 2011.In order to start renewal process, staff attempted to secure proposals for this work, but found that
some engineering firms were not interested in a project this size or,since they were not the original engineers
on this project,that there would be aconsiderable amount of work and costs associated in starting from the
ground up. SCS Engineersis the firm that processed the original permitand renewal.
