Waste to energy can complement a municipality's solid waste management plan without negatively affecting recycling rates.
New York's Westchester County has developed an Integrated Solid Waste Management Plan with the objective of minimizing waste and maximizing reuse and recycling while using waste-to-energy (WTE) technology to dispose of nonrecyclable material.
Opponents of WTE technology charge that it competes with recycling and creates a disincentive for collectors to encourage source reduction and recycling because, unlike a landfill, it provides a permanent waste disposal solution. However, evidence from several case studies routinely demonstrates how communities using WTE (which is lower on the solid waste disposal hierarchy than reduction, reuse and recycling) usually excel in the first three methods of materials management.
Westchester County serves as additional verification that WTE does not inhibit source reduction, reuse and recycling. It also demonstrates how this disposal method fits into an integrated solid waste management plan and also furthers the objectives of New York state's Solid Waste Management Plan.
Developing a Plan Westchester County, which is located in the Hudson Valley region, is comprised of 43 municipalities and has a population of 950,000, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. Forty towns in the county provide curbside collection of garbage and recyclables, reaching more than 95 percent of the population.
In 1979, 35 municipalities joined a special assessment district, called the Refuse Disposal District No. 1 (RDD), and reserved capacity at the WTE facility through an inter-municipal agreement (IMA). The 35 municipalities agreed to handle residentially collected solid waste using the county-developed infrastructure. The municipalities in the RDD currently deliver municipal solid waste (MSW) either to a county transfer station or directly to the Charles Point Resource Recovery Facility. Since the formation of the RDD, it has come to represent approximately 90 percent of the county's population.
Prior to 1984, the county used the Croton Point Landfill for disposal of MSW. The WTE facility became, and continues to be, the sole disposal site for RDD waste.
In 1992, Westchester County passed a source-separation law that required waste generators, haulers and transfer stations to recycle certain items—mainly glass, plastic and metal bottles and cans as well as newsprint, office paper and corrugated cardboard. Also in 1992, Westchester County finished construction of the Daniel P. Thomas Material Recovery Facility (MRF), one of the first MRFs in the nation. Used solely by members of the RDD, tipping recyclables at the MRF is free. In contrast, the county facility charges a fee for tipping garbage.
The N.Y. Department of Environmental Facilities (DEF) serves as the designated planning unit for all of the county's 43 municipalities and manages the RDD. The DEF oversees several solid waste and recycling facilities as well as countywide recycling and waste reduction programs.
Creating Energy The Charles Point facility incinerates about 700,000 tons of garbage per year to create enough electricity to power 88,000 homes. It is developed and owned by the Westchester County Industrial Development Agency, a public benefit corporation, and operated by Wheelabrator of Westchester, a subsidiary of Waste Management. In October 2009, the county entered into an agreement with Wheelabrator for solid waste disposal for 10 years with three five-year renewal options. Under the new agreement, the county pays a set fee per ton of solid waste disposed at the Charles Point facility, which is subject to an annual adjustment. The contract allows the county to divert up to 50,000 tons of solid waste annually to explore new solid waste disposal technologies, such as pyrolysis, gasification, digestion or co-composting.
The WTE facility, which also accepts solid waste from private haulers, is equipped with a magnetic separation system that extracts ferrous metals from the incoming waste stream. More than 12,600 tons of ferrous metal were recovered for recycling in 2011 at the facility. A byproduct of the incineration process is ash, some of which is reused as landfill cover.
Mandating Recycling Opponents of WTE technology claim that the process burns valuable resources that should be recycled or composted and that it competes for the same material, according to the Global Alliance for Incinerator Alternatives. According to the Sierra Club, those who are responsible for overseeing WTE facilities are not concerned with separating recyclables from the waste stream before it is burned.
This has not been the case in Westchester County. Government administrators, who oversee both recycling and solid waste disposal, continually strive to increase the recycling rate and to encourage waste reduction. More than 25 years of solid waste planning in Westchester County provides ample evidence.
Since 1984, Westchester County has been using the WTE facility to dispose of nonrecyclable material. Since that time, the DEF developed an Integrated Solid Waste Management Plan that sought to decrease waste and maximize reuse and recycling.
In May of 1988, Westchester County DEF adopted the Solid Waste Management Plan – Phase II. At that time, the agency estimated a 5 percent recycling rate for commercial and residential waste and set the goal to achieve, at minimum, a 25 percent recycling rate. Although the initial plan addressed reduction, reuse and recycling as a means to ensure adequate disposal capacity at the WTE facility, it evolved over the next 20 years to embrace the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA's) solid waste management hierarchy.
Although the EPA's solid waste hierarchy always favored waste reduction over reuse or recycling, it was hard to quantify such measures. Recycling rates became the measuring stick for solid waste management. This was reflected in the state's focus on achieving certain recycling rates rather than looking at reduction, reuse and generation. However, Westchester County has been focusing on waste reduction for years.
In 1992, Westchester County passed a source-separation law (SSL) that required "waste generators" (individuals, businesses, schools and institutions) to recycle newsprint, high-grade paper, corrugated cardboard, glass, metal, bulk metal, plastics (high-density polyethylene and polyethylene terephthalate), vehicle batteries and used motor oil. It also required waste haulers to separately collect recyclable items set out for curbside collection. For more than 20 years, recycling has been the law in Westchester.
The number of mandated recyclables has expanded. In 2008 the law was amended to add gray cardboard to the list and to modify the definition of a waste generator so that the same rules applied to individuals as well as to businesses, schools and institutions. In June 2011 plastics 3 through 7 joined plastics 1 and 2 among mandated recyclable materials. Westchester County also has sought to include additional materials among the "mandated recyclables" to increase diversion.
Tasked with Growth By 2007 it was noted that recycling rates had leveled off in the upper 40s. This fell short of New York's goal for 50 percent recycling, and Westchester County sought to improve this.
County Executive Andrew J. Spano assigned personnel to a special task force with the responsibility of developing and introducing a SSL enforcement program. The newly formed Recycling Enforcement Task Force (RETF) was charged with increasing recycling countywide through a combination of education and enforcement.
During December 2007 and January 2008, the RETF issued two types of "Oops!" stickers to municipal and private carters for their sanitation personnel to apply to improperly commingled garbage and recyclables. Yellow Oops! stickers were used as warnings for waste generators, though carters still collected the improperly mixed loads. Beginning Feb. 1, 2008, municipal and private carters left improperly sorted waste with an informative red Oops! sticker and did not collect the garbage.
After an additional six-month warning period, inspectors began writing supporting depositions of observed violations. Based upon an inspector's observations, DEF issues Notices of Hearing, which officially charge waste generators and haulers with violations of the SSL. When violations are found to have occurred, administrative fines may be assessed, ranging from up to $100 for a first-time violation to $1,000 for repeat offenders. That program has continued, with two full-time inspectors in the field. As of June 2012 1,215 cases have been prosecuted.
The result is a boost in recycling rates. In 2008, recyclables delivered to the MRF (compared with garbage) increased 18 percent. Again in 2009 there was a large boost in recyclables compared with garbage (19 percent). And between 2009 and 2010, increases in recyclables collected from private haulers jumped from 35 percent to 48 percent. These activities were undertaken even though nonrecyclable solid waste was delivered to the WTE facility.
Further Reduction Sought Since 1988, Westchester County has continually evaluated and increased recycling and waste-reduction activities, though all nonrecyclable waste is delivered to a WTE facility that has sufficient capacity for county disposal needs. Even though the county is confident that the facility serves as a long-term viable disposal option, it has not deterred the local planning unit from taking a proactive stance toward reducing the amount of nonrecycled waste disposed.
New York state's recently released solid waste management plan aims to reduce nonrecycled solid waste from an average of 4.5 pounds per person per day (ppd) to 0.6 pounds by 2030. Many contend that using WTE conflicts with the goals of the state plan and that this technology disincentivizes recycling. However, incinerating solid waste to generate energy furthers many of the quantitative goals of the state plan. Also, the only way Westchester County anticipates meeting the 0.6 ppd goal is by incinerating nonrecyclable materials to minimize the volume and weight of residuals.
Ultimately, it can be concluded that using WTE as a disposal method is not only a healthy part of an integrated solid waste management plan but is also an essential component to meeting the state's conservation goals.

Help me decide - counter depth FD refrigerator
Have a tiny kitchen, need a counter depth refrigerator.
Have looked at probably every single refrigerator within 30 miles and are deciding between a 25cf LG (with water in door) or a 22.6 Electrolux (without water in door)
The LG has shallow shelves, a shallow deli bin and three smaller produce drawers - bins on the right hand door are really deep though. The ice/water unit is flush against the left door so it doesn't take up shelf space. And it has twin condensers or something like that. Consumer Reports rates it pretty high. Plus husband likes it because of all the bells and whistles and the children have also promised to drink at least 3 glasses of water every day! (maybe I should get them to promise to walk the dog every day too!)
The Electrolux has a flat front which is the look I prefer (+ live in San Francisco so we only need ice one week in May and one week in September - otherwise it's about 65 year round.) Shelves/deli drawer are deeper and I like the 2 vegetable bins. Have calculated square inches of shelves/bins, and this Electrolux has more flat surface than the LG. I would love this, but 95% of the reviews I've read are about Electrolux's problem with water/ice in door (which I won't have). Consumer Reports rates Electrolux a little below the LG
It's not the initial costs that bother me, but I don't want to have to budget for constant service calls. I'm hedging towards the Electrolux without ice in door - anyone have experience with either refrigerator. Thanks.
There is no sure-fire, guaranteed appliance that won't break down in a few years, most unfortunately. The industry has learned they can get away making appliances cheaply; the electronics are usually to blame. Fwiw, I had a GE that the repairman had to give up on, at the five-year mark. Disgusting. I don't know anyone with an Electrolux, but it's a good idea not to have ice in the door.

- Hi all. First post here, so please be gentle!
After purchasing an NSLU2, and with A LOT of help from a friend and
kind folks on the Roku forums, I have managed to Unsling, install
Firefly server and get it working as a media server.
My music is located on and 250Gb NTFS formatted HD, connected to USB
Disk 1 port. Now I would like to use the disc as network storage.
I can see and access the disk as HDD_1_1_1 under 'My Network Places'
under WinXP SP2. Problem is, there are missing folders.
If I plug the disk into my PC, I can see all folders:
If I plug the disk into the SLUG and access the file through Network
Places, or the web interface, the 'Pictures' and 'Videos' folders are
missing. I have read there are issues with using NTFS disks with
earlier versions of the Slug. Could this be it? I purchased my NSLU2
in August.
Thanks and regards,

VP Hot Sheet: Democrats
Last Updated: August 19
Read VP Candidate Bios Go To Republican VP Hot Sheet
The following list reflects who's hot and who's not in the search for Barack Obama's vice presidential running mate. It is compiled by CBSNews.com senior political editor Vaughn Ververs and the rest of the CBSNews.com political team and reflects media speculation, buzz, reporting and a lot of guesswork. This list will be updated as conditions warrant.
1 | Evan Bayh | Bio The Indiana Senator by all accounts remains high on Obama's list and seems to combine many of the qualities the presumptive nominee is most looking for - foreign affairs, executive experience and swing-state appeal. His early support for the Iraq War remains a potential problem for the party's base but not enough of one to knock him out of the top spot. | |
2 | Joe Biden | Bio Russia's invasion of Georgia has spurred a boom of speculation around the Delaware senator and veteran of the Foreign Affairs Committee. His abrupt trip to the war-torn country raised eyebrows at a crucial time when Biden's type of global experience suddenly seems to be at a premium. But would this pick do anything to reinforce Obama's desire to change politics in Washington? | |
3 | Tim Kaine | Bio The Virginia governor is included in just about every short list that has appeared in recent weeks and Obama is scheduled to be in the Old Dominion just around the time an announcement is expected. Kaine appears to have a good personal relationship with Obama but his relative lack of experience has dampened the buzz just a little on this potential choice. | |
4 | Kathleen Sebelius | Bio Having slipped down the list in recent weeks, the Kansas governor's name has slowly slipped back toward the top. It's where any successful state executive from middle America should be but a lack of foreign policy heft might hurt her chances. And what would those Clinton supporters think? | |
5 | Jack Reed | Bio Despite his apparent inability to give Obama a boost in any particular swing states, this former West Pointer is still getting some attention. He brings a serious national defense resume to the table and by all accounts has a good relationship with the candidate. Still, there are others on the list who may fit the bill better. | |
6 | Chris Dodd | Bio The former presidential candidate has admitted being vetted to some extent and brings a wide array of experience to the conversation. After more than 30 years on the Hill, Dodd would fit an "elder statesman" role and he raised his profile among the party's rank-and-file during his long-shot presidential bid. But was it enough to propel him to a number 2 slot? | |
7 | Hillary Clinton | Bio After tensions flared up between the former primary opponents earlier this month, Clinton looked to be all-but-off the list altogether. But the opposing camps seem to have patched things up with an agreement to include Clinton's name in the roll call vote at the convention and news reports are full of speculation that this could be a "surprise" pick. Could this partnership survive though? | |
8 | Bill Richardson | Bio The New Mexico governor had been out of the mix but his name pops up more and more often. His potential to help Obama among the key Latino voting bloc and in a key state could keep Richardson in the mix until the end of the process. | |
9 | Tom Daschle | Bio An early and eager supporter for Obama, Daschle appears to have forged a close relationship with the former Majority Leader. But while a consummate insider helps soothe concerns of inexperience, it also brings a lot of insider baggage. And what happened to Obama in South Dakota? | |
10 | Chuck Hagel | Bio The Republican senator from Nebraska has been one of the most often mentioned candidates throughout the summer and his presence on Obama's trip to Iraq and Afghanistan didn't do anything to dampen that speculation. But Hagel's recent declaration that he will not endorse a presidential candidate should be a signal that this pick is unlikely. | |

Trader Joe's warehouse may bring more businesses to Daytona
- Anjali Fluker
- Senior Staff Writer- Orlando Business Journal
- Email | Twitter | Google+
Fluker covers real estate and development. She hopes the new Trader Joe's distribution center will bring plenty of goodies — and new stores — to Central Florida. Contact: email@example.com; (407) 241-2910; @AnjaliFlukerOBJ
Trader Joe's can be described as a Pied Piper to foodies, and it's drawing the attention of other businesses by uncovering a potential industrial hub on Central Florida's east coast.
The Monrovia, Calif.-based upscale grocer has a deal in the works to put an $80 million, 600,000-square-foot warehouse on a vacant site in the Daytona Beach area, bringing about 550 permanent jobs and hundreds of temporary construction jobs to the area. The grocer reportedly chose the site because its trucks would be able to access Interstates 95 and 4 easily, giving it quick routes to North Florida, as well as the Orlando and Tampa areas and perhaps eventually into South Florida.
Volusia County officials were expected to approve an incentive package on March 13 that would allow Trader Joe's East Inc. to move forward with finalizing a deal to buy the site from Daytona Beach-based real estate investment trust Consolidated-Tomoka Land Co. (NYSE: CTO) and start construction on the new development.
Local business and government officials look at the deal as a big win, not only because it may bring more Trader Joe's grocery stores to the area, but also because it would draw more attention to the transportation routes in the Daytona Beach area.
"Realtors and city and county officials are saying we should be pushing for more of this kind of investment," said Steven Katz, a commercial real estate agent with Daytona Beach real estate firm Charles Wayne Properties Inc. "This could be looked at as a golden triangle where it connects I-95 and I-4. There's only four places in the state where interstates cross like that."

With just over 10 minutes left in Sunday's game at Golden State, James Harden was knocked to the floor by Warriors guard Monta Ellis. Harden remained on the floor in pain before getting up and slowly walking back to the bench.
Thunder notebook: James Harden suffers back injury
Harden came out of the game, and the team's training staff examined him briefly during a timeout before wrapping his back. Harden did not return to the game.
"I just fell on it and felt pain in my back," Harden said. "Hopefully, I'll get some treatment on it and be able to rest up."
The Thunder fell to 2-7 in Sunday games following its 100-94 loss at Golden State.
The only other day of the week that Oklahoma City has a losing record is Tuesday, a day in which the Thunder is 1-2.
"Maybe we're not meant to play on Sundays," Brooks said.
Today is the final day to vote for this year's Skills Challenge participants at All-Star Weekend. Voting closes at 10:59 p.m.
Fans can vote for four players to compete against New Orleans point guard Chris Paul. The options are Thunder guard Russell Westbrook, L.A. Clippers guard Baron Davis, Sacramento guard Tyreke Evans, L.A. Lakers guard Derek Fisher, San Antonio's Tony Parker, Golden State's Stephen Curry, Chicago's Derrick Rose or Washington rookie guard John Wall.

Share the post "Feeding the Very Hungry Bobcat"
Part two of our bobcat issue. We are feeding a very hungry bobcat.
Feeding the Very Hungry Bobcat
Monday, February 23. -9*F. I put the beaver and game camera in the JetSled and followed our snowmobile trail into the woods. My first thought on where to place the carcass was a poor choice. It's not as far from the hen house as I thought. I left the sled and snowshoed around to find a good spot. I needed a clearing, a set of tracks so I'd know where to set up the camera, and a place to leave the beaver that I can see from a distance. I wanted to be able to check the carcass using binoculars.
Set up was simple. The carcass is leaning against a maple coppice. There's a game camera ten feet away. The bobcat came into the clearing from behind the tree I've attached the camera to.
Tuesday, February 24. -15F*. I didn't note the windchill on these mornings. Knowing doesn't make it easier. I couldn't see any signs of the bobcat finding the carcass but there are tracks through my first choice for a site. The tracks leave there and walk directly to and around the hen house and into the pig shed. It looked like the cat tried to jump up to two of the windows.
Is it ever going to stop snowing? The best thing for the bobcat is a crust on the snow that is thick enough to support its weight as it runs so it can start hunting successfully again. This plan of mine does not include feeding this bobcat for long. There will eventually be crusty snow and without the food I'm providing the cat will move on. It won't be so hungry that it's desperate. This is a temporary boost.
Think about the number of times you see a bobcat when you're in the woods. They're not interested in being around people. The tractor is running while Steve moves snow, we're riding snowmobiles, I'm snowshoeing daily and I have the dogs out several times a day. No bobcat wants to stick around here. It's here because it's struggling. Overall this doesn't do much to help the wildlife but it makes a difference for this one cat.
"Just shoot it." I've heard that a lot. I will if this doesn't work. I think the hen house is bobcat proof now but I thought so until the cat got in. Crap happens. I don't like to kill something I'm not going to eat and I'm not ready to try bobcat backstrap.
Wednesday morning. -3F*. My timing was poor. I looked 100 feet past the beaver in time to see the bobcat disappear into the alders. It's exciting to see the cat but it's also a little unnerving. I'm respectful of its power. I'm not going to approach it, corner it (which is impossible) or do anything stupid. There were claw and bite marks on the carcass. I left. There are no new tracks anywhere near the hen house.
I was surprised by how much the bobcat ate in 24 hours. What you can see here is what's left. It ate the entire inside of the carcass. There are several sets of tracks coming and going; the cat has been here many times. We found four spots where it crossed the road up to a half mile from here so it's still hunting.
Friday. -13*F. It must have had a full belly. Nothing changed on the carcass in the previous 24 hours. There are no fresh tracks near the hen house.
Saturday morning. -19*F. The difference in the carcass was easy to see with binoculars so I went in. Part of the carcass has been moved but I can't tell how much. Part of the head stuck out of the snow. There are fractured ribs showing but the cat hadn't eaten much. There is one set of tracks in and out, and none near the hen house.
Sunday morning. -16*F. Nothing as far as I can tell.
Monday. 13*F. The bobcat was here Sunday afternoon.
The bobcat has not been back since Sunday afternoon. Wednesday's forecast calls for warmer weather and heavy snow followed by very cold temps again. This should give the bobcat the surface it needs to stop breaking through. I expect the cat to visit the carcass until it's gone. By then it shouldn't be so hungry it risks coming into the backyard. We'll see.

Landscape management, a new option to fight wireworms in maize crops
- Details
- Published on Friday, 27 February 2015 14:51
Crop-damaging wireworms are the soil-dwelling larvae of click beetles. Wireworms have emerged in Europe over the last 15 years. There is actually few efficient control solutions, and actual control options use toxic pesticides. There is therefore a need for safer control techniques. A survey of 341 maize fields by Saussure et al. shows that wireworm damage is decreased by the occurrence of hedges and cultivated crops at the maize field border. Whereas wireworm damage is increased by the occurrence of grassland at the maize field border or during the rotation.
Write comment (0 Comments)Safe control of banana-eating worm using a byproduct of sisal fabric production
- Details
- Published on Thursday, 26 February 2015 15:20
The burrowing nematode, a worm, is damaging banana plantations worldwide. Actual control methods use toxic nematicides to kill the worm. Alternative control methods are therefore needed due to the high demand for safer and organic food. Agronomists Jesus et al. found that an extract of sisal, a plant species growing in desert areas, is effective to contol nematodes. This method is cheap because the sisal extract is a byproduct of fiber and fabric production from the sisal plant.

Most plastic products contain phthalic acid esters that end up polluting water and soil after plastic degradation. Indeed, phthalic acid esters are endocrine disruptors. China is one of the largest consumers of phthalic acid esters. He et al. review the contamination of soils by phthalic acid esters. Findings show that the levels of phthalic acid esters in chinese soils are higher than recommended limits, thus contaminating vegetables. The main sources of phthalic acid esters in soils are plastic agricultural films, municipal biosolids, agricultural chemicals and wastewater irrigation.

Conventional monoculture systems are failing in the long run because they have been designed solely for higher yields and economic benefits, thus neglecting pollution, biodiversity loss and non-traded social benefits. Agroforestry appears as a solution. However, farmers are often reluctant to adopt tree-based systems despite incentives to do so. To understand why, Sereke et al. have studied agroforestry in Switzerland using collaborative research and bioeconomic assessment of farmer agroforestry innovations.

Agronomists Eigenbrod and Gruda reviewed various urban agriculture systems. They found that growing vegetables in cities is particularly beneficial.

Published: Wednesday April 25, 2012 MYT 12:00:00 AM Updated: Sunday May 26, 2013 MYT 4:13:03 AM
PUTRAJAYA: The Election Commission (EC) has launched a booklet to debunk a list of 12 allegations against it on the management of the country's electoral roll.
The booklet, titled The Facts Behind Allegations and Lies Against the EC, contains the EC's response to issues raised by the Opposition, from the alleged shifting of electoral boundaries to the presence of dubious and phantom voters on the roll.
EC chairman Tan Sri Abdul Aziz Mohd Yusof said the purpose of the booklet was to help the public be better informed about the nation's electoral process.
"We want Malaysians to understand the actual situation, so the next time they hear a ceramah or (read) a blog, they can think for themselves and decide what is right and wrong," he said at a press conference here yesterday.
A total of 5,000 booklets have been printed at a cost of RM20,000, to be distributed to the media, political parties and government departments.
Abdul Aziz said much had been reported in the media and the ceramah circuit about the issues but many people appear not to understand how things are done by the commission. One example is the presence of over 42,000 voters whose status is unknown on the roll, which he said leaves the EC in a dilemma.
Abdul Aziz said the EC initially thought of deleting the names to clean up the roll but found that it could not do so legally unless it is certified that each and every one of them had either died or is no longer eligible to vote.
"At first we wanted to cut out the 42,000 names. We received objections from all corners, which is just as well as we cannot do so under the law. But when we did not delete the names, the same group which objected earlier demanded that they be removed," he said.
