                                 FOREWORD



          Some  75  years  ago,  American humorist and social critic Mark Twain


     described  an  industrial  city on the Mississippi as a "soot-blackened


     town."   A  little  more  than a decade later,  Theodore Roosevelt,  in a


 -7    message  to Congress, admonished the Nation not "To waste,  to destroy,


     our natural resources, to  skin and exhaust the land .  .  .."  Today,


     Twain could add that his "monstrous big river" is umber-colored with


 /   the wastes it carries, and Roosevelt could look out on landscape that

 ot
     is  defaced, and often  spoiled, by the wastes deposited on it.

 .^   in  increased  population, expanding municipalities, and greater  industrial

 k
^   and commercial opportunities, we have responded with nonconcern to a


     simultaneous  physical  deterioration of the United States.   The  first


     comprehensive water pollution control legislation was  not enacted until


     1956;  the  first comprehensive air pollution legislation,  in 1963.


     Finally, less than  six years ago, legislation acknowledged a national


     solid waste problem—a pollution that can pervade the air, water, and


     land.


          Under the Solid Waste Disposal Act of 1965 (Title II, P.L. 89-272)


     and now  under the broader  mandate of the Resource Recovery Act  of 1970


     (P.L.  91-512), municipalities and other nonprofit agencies are  eligible

to apply for Federal demonstration grants to study, test and demonstrate




techniques which advance the state of the art in the solid waste manage-




ment field.




     Disquieting statistics compiled by the U.S. Environmental Protection




Agency point up the significance of these demonstration projects.  The




Nation's outlay for getting rid of its debris is $4.5 billion annually—




and growing.  Most of this cost is:  (1) for collecting only part  (180




million tons) of the 360 million tons of household, commercial, and




industrial waste actually generated; (2) for disposing of it in dumps




or landfills (94 percent of which are unsatisfactory) or in incinerators




(75 percent of which are inadequate).  One basic Federal policy has been




to encourage the concept of areawide solid waste management as a sound




vehicle for raising the overall level of these sanitation services to




safeguard environment and public comfort.




     The  City of Des Moines was one of the first recipients of a  demon-




stration grant to develop an exemplary plan for solid waste collection




and disposal on a regional basis.

-------
                                PREFACE







     Across the country, the volume of solid waste materials is  taxing




the resources of most communities.  In many, the volume has already out-




distanced the communities' ability to collect and dispose of it.




     The population of the Des Moines (Iowa) metropolitan area,  presently




estimated at 288,000, is projected to reach 418,000 by 1990.  Its refuse




generation, approximately 562,000 tons per year now, will reach  an




estimated 783,000 tons per year by 1990.  In the face of such potential




increases—with solid waste management splintered among more than a




dozen separate jurisdictions, with collection through various municipal,




contract, and private systems, and with disposal consisting of 10 dumps—




Des Moines acted and, aided by Federal grant assistance, developed the




regional plan reported here.




     This study provides substantial information on both the detailed




organization of an intergovernmental solid waste collection and  disposal




agency and the detailed plan and analysis of the collection routes and




system.  Moreover, this study became the basis for a major step  in




regional development—the first time that a Federally-funded regional




solid waste plan has moved to the implementation stage.




     Under a follow-on demonstration grant (G06-EC-00244), the Des Moines




Metropolitan Area Solid Waste Agency—a self-supporting organization

-------
designed to operate much like a public utility—was created.  Since its




inception in July 1969, the Agency has grown from an office staff of two




to an operating staff of 105 under the authority of a 16-member Board.




     Today, with equipment and manpower acquired from the City of Des




Moines, the Agency collects all domestic solid wastes (formerly only




garbage was collected) from the 60,000 single to four-family residences




within the City.  Each resident pays a monthly $2 fee for the once-a-




week, backyard collection service.  Private haulers collect commercial




and industrial wastes.




     To assure proper disposal of the wastes, the Agency took over the




City's dump, acquired 20 additional acres of contiguous land, and began




operating a sanitary landfill.  By April 1971, 90 percent of the solid




waste collected in Polk County was being diverted to the landfill and




five of the eight county dump sites had been closed.




     Leo L. Johnson was the Project Director for the City of Des Moines




for demonstration project No. D01-UI-00060; John Ruf was the Project




Officer for the Division of Demonstration Operations.  For more specific

     We hope that information provided here on the development of a




regional solid waste management plan  and forthcoming information on the

second project—the successes and problems encountered in implementing

the plan—will provide a model for the regional approach to other

communities facing similar problems.

OBJECTIVES:  To demonstrate that the establishment of a single solid waste agency
and program to replace the individual programs of several governmental entities
will result in more efficient and effective solid waste management.

PROCEDURES:  A study and investigation, supported by Demonstration Grant
D01-UI-00060, of solid waste management in the Des Moines Metropolitan area has
been completed, in which a plan for providing improved solid waste management
services on an areawide basis has been recommended.  The implementation of the
recommended plan will be affected by this project.  This will involve the transfer
of solid waste collection and disposal services from a hetergeneous group of
governmental entities  (12 cities and towns and segments of two counties) to the
Metropolitan Area Solid Waste Agency.  This Agency will be established as a
self-supporting entity with adequate personnel and facilities to accomplish its
assigned tasks.  Required personnel resources will be determined, and the Agency
will be staffed as quickly as practicable.  Rules and regulations, and operating
procedures will be formulated to define the functions and responsibilities of
the Agency and other governmental agencies under existing laws.  Recommendations
will be formulated for indicated legislative changes to improve efficiency and
ease of management.  Funding requirements will be determined, and methods of
funding and cost accounting developed.  Procedures for obtaining and maintaining
equipment and facilities will be developed.  A public relations program will be
developed.  Collection routes will be laid out, the facilities for solid waste
disposal determined and operational procedures identified.  Rules and regulations
and operating procedures governing private collection and disposal operations in
the areas will be developed.

Consulting engineering services required for establishment of the areawide solid
waste management system will be provided by the firm of Henningson, Durham and
Richardson, Inc. , Omaha, Nebraska.

                           TOPICAL SUMMARY

A.     INTRODUCTION

       This summary presents briefly the major conclusions and recom-
       mendations which were developed during the course of the study
       and preparation of this report. Analyses of the recommendations
       and conclusions and the alternatives are discussed in detail in the
       body of the  report.

B.     POPULATION
       The existing population of the Study Area is estimated at 288, 000.
       It is expected to reach 361, 000 by 1980 and 418, 000 by 1990.

C.     SOLID WASTE    '.VEY

       The total amount of all solid waste presently being disposed of in the
       Study Area is approximately 1,016,000 cubic yards per  year (after
       compacting)  or 562,000 tons per year.  This includes waste dis-
       posed of at the ten dump and landfill sites in the Study Area and
       that disposed of on  site by private individuals, business and in-
       dustry.   It  is estimated that these annual waste quantities, for
       which proper disposal facilities must be provided,  will reach
       1, 500, 000 cubic yards or  783, 000 tons by 1990.

       During the years from 1967 through  1990, the accumulation is es-
       timated to be 29, 500, 000 cubic yards or 15, 870, 000 tons.  As an
       illustration of the magnitude of this accumulated volume; if piled on
       a football field within the playing  area,  the pile would be more than
       sixteen thousand feet high.

D.     SOLID WASTE COLLECTION
       1.     An area wide public collection system is recommended to
              replace the various municipal,  contract and private systems
              now  being operated.  This system would provide weekly col-
              lection of all domestic waste from the dwelling units within
              the Study Area, which is a change from the present practice
              of collecting only garbage or kitchen waste.  No public col-
              lection service would be  offered to large multiple family
              dwellings,  commercial or industrial waste producers.

       2.     Private refuse haulers should be licensed and regulated.
              They would continue to serve that part of the community
              not receiving public collection service.
                                   XI

-------
       3.      The new collection system includes combining the existing
              manpower and equipment of the  Des Moines,  West Des Moines
              and Urbandale collection systems into a single,  efficient area-
              wide collection system.  New routes,  standards, work rules
              and administrative and technical procedures have been de-
              veloped to implement the program.

       4.      The cost to provide total collection service to each dwelling
              unit in the Study Area is estimated to be $0. 90 per month or
              $10.80 per year. This cost, which is less than  the present
              costs for collecting kitchen waste only, also includes disposal
              costs of the collected refuse.

E.     SOLID WASTE DISPOSAL
       1.     The sanitary landfill method of waste disposal is recommend-
              ed as being the  most economical,  practical and efficient method
              for the  Study Area.  Two sanitary landfill site locations are
              proposed,  of sufficient size, to dispose  of the estimated Study
              Area waste for  the 20 years  from 1968 through 1987.

       2.     A fee system  is proposed for the use of the sanitary landfill
              sites which will produce  sufficient revenue to make the dis-
              posal operations entirely self-supporting, and to amortize
              the initial  cost of equipment, land and improvements.

       3.     Interim improvements and a temporary  fee system are pro-
              posed for the existing Des  Moines landfill sites.  These im-
              provements contemplate  converting  these sites to model sani-
              tary landfills as a public relations aid to the  establishment of the
              permanent new  sites.

       4.     An area-wide disposal agency is  proposed to  manage,  own
              and operate the new  sanitary landfill sites.

F.     SOLID WASTE AGENCY
       1.     A Metropolitan Solid Waste Agency is recommended which will
              be responsible  for the  collection and disposal of all solid waste
              produced within the Study Area.  This Agency would be governed
              by a Board composed of certain elected representatives of the
              14 cities,  towns and counties in the Study Area.

       2.     The Agency will provide collection services to all member
              municipalities on a contract basis of approximately $10. 80 per
              year per dwelling unit. The Agency will also operate the two
              sanitary landfill sites,  open to anyone wishing to dispose of
              solid waste, for a fee  of approximately $1. 10 per ton.
                                        xii

-------
3.     The initial capital expenditures of the Agency will be fi-
       nanced by a revenue bond issue. Sufficient revenues are
       anticipated from the fees proposed for the collection and
       disposal operations to retire the bonds as well as provide
       the necessary maintenance, operating and administrative
       costs of the Agency.

4.     Uniform waste collection and disposal ordinances to be
       adopted by all Agency member communities are recom-
       mended.  Model ordinances have been  prepared and in-
       cluded in the report.

 PART ONE - GENERAL

        A.      Scope.  The objective of this study is to analyze the present col-
 lection and disposal practice and long range area wide problems in the metro-
 politan area, and to recommend and develop procedure to implement solutions.
 The study  has been divided into five major parts:

               1.     Characteristics of the Study Area.
               2.     The solid waste generated within  the Study Area.
               3.     Solid waste collection.
               4.     Solid waste disposal.
               5.     Formation of a Metropolitan Solid Waste Agency.

        The report examines  and discusses the  following items:

               1.     Potential growth of the Study Area including population and
^growth patterns.

               2.    Analysis of on-site accumulations and disposal of solid
 waste  in the metropolitan area.

       B.      Description of Study Area.  The Study Area as established for
purposes of this report comprises approximately 430 square miles,  includes
12 cities and towns and parts of two counties,  as shown on Figure  1-1.  Specifi-

              11.    City  of West Des Moines.
              12.    City  of Windsor Heights.
              13.    Unincorporated townships in Polk County, including Crocker,
                       Webster, Saylor,  Delaware,  Clay,  Four Mile, Allen,

              14.    Unincorporated townships in Warren County, including Linn,
                       Greenfield  and Allen.

                    Des Moines,  the principal city in the area, is the county
seat of Polk County and the capital and largest city in the State of Iowa.  It is
located slightly southwest of the geographical  center  of the State at Longitude
93°  37' W,  Latitude 41° 35' N.  The City and surrounding area is served by
Interstate Highways 80, 35 and 235, numerous other  State and Federal Highways,
three major air lines  and nine  rail routes.

                    Des Moines is well known as an insurance, printing and
governmental center.   Due to the excellent location and access to major trans-
portation facilities, the area has become a principal mid-west distribution and
shipping center for agricultural products, farm equipment,  tires, concrete pro-
ducts and food products,  all  of which are processed or manufactured in the Des
Moines area.  Figure 1-2 indicates Des Moines' location with respect  to other
major cities in the State  and the region.

LOCATION IN THE REGION
                FIGURE  1-2

-------
                    The topography of the Study Area is  dominated by the Des
Moines and Raccoon Rivers, which divide the area into three sectors,  the
northwest, northeast and south.  Most of the development within Des Moines
and the surrounding cities and towns has been on the flat  and gently sloping  land
rising from the broad flood plains  of these rivers,  and the major streams trib-
utary to them.   Among the latter are Walnut and Beaver Creeks in the north-
west area, Four Mile Creek in the northeast and Middle  Creek and the North
River in the south area.  The uplands generally lie above  900 feet elevation,
with the flood plain elevations in the range of 800 to 850 feet above sea level.
The transitional areas between the flood plains and the uplands  are character-
ized by steep ravines and bluffs.

                    Geologically the entire area is  underlain by the Pennsyl-
vania System which forms the uppermost strata of solid or bed  rock.   This  sys-
tem, primarily shales,  also includes sandstones,  coals and  limestones.  The
coal mined from this system played an important part in  the early economic
development of the area.  Overlying the bedrock are deposits of various  clays,
sands and  gravels, results of the last glacial drifts  50, 000 to 1, 000, 000  years
ago.

                    Wind  blown loess, a uniformly  fine grained soil,  covers
the glacial deposits.  It  ranges in depths of 5 to 30 feet and is generally visible
wherever the topsoil  has been removed throughout the area.   Large amounts of
silt, sand and gravel, deposited  by the melting ice of the  glacial ages are to be
found as alluvial soils along the bottom lands of the  river valleys.

                    The climate of the Study Area is marked by seasonal vari-
ations  in temperature and  precipitation.  Average yearly  temperatures approxi-
mate 50°,  with monthly  averages varying from the low 20's in January to the
middle  70's in July.   Extremes may vary from -30° in January  to 110° in July
and August.  Mean annual  precipitation is between 31 and 32 inches throughout
the area,  with much seasonal variation.  About 22 inches or 70% of the total
annual precipitation falls between April and September.   10 percent of the pre-
cipitation falls during the winter months  with an average  of 32 inches of  snow.
Northwest winds are  predominate during the months from October through
March at an intensity of three to four miles per hour greater than the summer
winds,  which prevail from the south and  southeast.

                    The principal source of water for the area  is the Raccoon
River.  The Des Moines Water Works besides  supplying water to all  developed
parts of the City of Des  Moines also wholesales water to the communities of
Windsor Heights,  Clive, Urbandale,  Pleasant Hill and a number of private
residential and industrial users in the adjoining areas of Polk County.  The  re-
maining cities  and towns in the Study Area operate their own water supply sys-
tems,  drawing principally from the Jordan Formation at depths of 2, 500  feet
and greater.  The Towns of Norwalk and Carlisle utilize shallow wells in the
sands and  gravels of  the North River.
                                    1-3

-------
                    Des Moines also supplies  sewage treatment facilities for the
major portion of the area population,  through its main treatment plant located
on the Des Moines River in the southeast part of the City.  West Des Moines..
Clive, the Urbandale - Windsor Heights  Sanitary District and the Urbandale
Sanitary District all have sewer service contracts with Des Moines.  The  re-
maining  communities in the area operate their own sewage treatment facilities.

                    Natural gas, electric power and telephone service are
provided throughout the area to all cities and towns by private  utilities.

       C.     Existing Solid Waste Facilities

              1.    Collection. Three cities provide municipal solid waste
collection:  Des Moines, West Des Moines and Urbandale.

                    The Town of Pleasant Hill provides municipal-like service
through a public contract with a private contractor.

                    There is no other public collection  service offered.  In
other parts of the Study Area,  the individual is usually served by a private
hauler.

              2.    Disposal.  The location of major sites being used at the
present time for the disposal of solid waste throughout the  Study Area are
shown on Figure 1-3.  All of the sites are publicly owned with the  exception of
the open dump at 18th and  Euclid, which is privately  owned and operated, but
open to  the public on a fee basis.

                    A general  description of the existing solid waste facilities
is included in the following paragraphs.  Additional discussion  concerning  each
site will be found in other  sections of the report.

       D.      Population.  An analysis of the past, present and future popula-
tion trends of a community are a necessary prerequisite to planning future
solid waste facilities.   The quantity, type  and volume of solid waste that is
generated, and for which provisions for disposal must be made, are related to
the population and the  associated commerce and industry, which support the
population.

               It should be noted that the population figures included in this  re-
port have been tabulated for the areas included in this study, which have pre-
viously been discussed, and are shown on  Figure  1-1.  The  Study Area popu-
lation figures should not be confused with the Bureau  of the Census designation
of the Des Moines Standard Metropolitan Statistical Area (SMSA),  which in-
cludes all of Polk County; or the Des Moines Urbanized Area, which includes
only Des Moines and those existing builtup areas immediately adjoining Des
Moines.

               Population trends in the Study Area since 1940 have been as
follows:

                    Year                    Population
                    1940                      190,935
                    1950                      221,812
                    I960                      262,781
                    1966                      282,263
                    1967 (Estimate)           287,900

               Population figures for the years 1940 through  I960 are based on
U.S.  Bureau of the Census  statistics.   1966 figures represent the results of
Special Censuses taken in the majority of the cities and towns in the Study Area
during 1965 and 1966,  plus estimated increases in those areas where no Special
Census was  conducted.

              Although population for the area as a whole has been increasing
at a fairly uniform rate since 1940,  increases within individual communities
have varied considerably.  Table 1-1 indicates the population changes and shifts
that have occurred since 1940 in each of the 12 cities  and towns and parts of the
2 counties.  The table  points out the significant increases in the population of
the cities and towns outside of Des Moines. typical of suburban growth in metro-
politan areas throughout the country.

              Another indication of the increased growth of suburban areas in
comparison to the central city (Des Moines), is shown in Table 1-2.  Of par-
ticular significance is the fact that Des Moines in 1940 accounted for almost 84
percent of the Study Area population,  while in 1966 this has been reduced to
slightly over 73 percent.

              Due to new incorporations and annexations the increased growth
in Polk and Warren Counties is not truly reflected in Tables 1-1 and 1-2.  This
growth has been significant particularly in the unincorporated areas adjoining
Des Moines on the  north and south.

              In addition to the population shifts in the  suburban parts of the
Study Area, significant changes have also been occurring within the City of Des
Moines.   Figure  1-4 indicates the population increases  or decreases within in-
dividual census tracts in Des  Moines between the I960 Regular  Census and the
1966 Special  Census.  Although the City had a net loss of 2, 243 persons during
this period the changes within individual tracts  varied considerably.  All of the
tracts in the  central and older parts of the city had population losses, while
the outlying areas in the northwest, northeast and south had population increases.
Much of the loss in the central sections is attributable to the freeway construc-
tion and urban renewal, particularly in tracts 22 through 30.

               Census statistics indicate that most of the population decrease
 was in the age groups under 5 years and between 25 to 64 years.  This is in-
 dicative of the general trend of younger families in the child bearing age groups
 moving to newer housing in the outlying areas of the City and into the surround-
 ing suburban communities.

               Future population estimates have been prepared, based upon an
 analysis of past trends in each community, including family size, rate of
 dwelling unit construction and economic activity.  Table 1-3 indicates the num-
 ber of households and the average population per household, for communities  in
 the Study Area, based upon I960 Census information.

              Information shown in Table 1-3 has been upgraded to 1966 using
Special Census information.  This information has then been projected to 1990
for each individual city, town and township.   Projections were based upon past
trends, availability of land for new development, adjustments in family size,
and long range land use projections for the area. Figure 1-5 shows the Study
Area population from 1940 to 1966 with projections  to 1990.  Figure 1-5 indi-
cates an average population increase of 5, 650 persons per year, with an esti-
mated 1990 population of approximately 418,000.

-------
               Figure 1-6 shows the Study Area divided into three sectors based
upon the natural division created by the Des Moines and Raccoon Rivers.
1990 population and dwelling unit estimates, along with past figures are shown
for each sector of the Study Area.   Total figures are  also shown.

               Figure 1-6 indicates that the north and west  area will continue
to be  the most populous  with an increase of about 45,000 by 1990.  This area
includes the heavy  populated northwest part of Des  Moines,  which is practi-
cally  100 percent developed, along with the rapidly growing communities of
West  Des Moines,  Clive, Windsor Heights  and  Urbandale.   Most of the increase
is expected to be in these communities and in the part of Webster Township
north of Interstate  35 and 80.

               The  north and east area is expected  to increase by approximately
40, 000, with about  10% of this gain in northeast Des Moines.

               This part of the City is also approaching the  limit on available
land for residential purposes.  Ankeny, Altoona and Pleasant Hill, all rapidly
growing communities, are expected to absorb most of the future population
growth.  Continued increases in  the unincorporated townships north of Des
Moines are also anticipated.

              An increase of approximately 50, 000 is shown for the south area.
Much  of this increase is expected in south Des Moines, and several private de-
velopments in Warren County that are presently planned or  under construction.
Norwalk and Carlisle, both of which have gained population  rapidly in recent
years also are expected to continue their growth patterns through 1990.

       E.      Land Use.  Figure 1-7 indicates generalized land use projections
for the Study Area by 1990.  It should be emphasized  that the land uses as shown
are general in nature and are intended to represent major generators of solid
waste, for which collection and disposal programs must be  developed.  De-
tailed land use studies are presently under  way by the Central Iowa Regional
Planning Commission, which is the official agency for regional  planning in the
Des Moines metropolitan area.   The land use patterns shown represent the ma-
jor concentrations of residential  development, commerce and industry which
are expected to have a measurable effect on the  size and location of future solid
waste disposal facilities.

PART TWO - SURVEY OF SOLID WASTE

       A.     General.  This Part of the report presents an analysis of the pre-
sent and future quantities and characteristics of the solid wastes within the
Study Area.

              The study of existing solid waste materials was made in two parts.
Part one was concerned with those materials which were being disposed of at
public disposal  sites in the Study Area.  These materials  represent more  than
80% of the present quantities.  Extensive site surveys were conducted at the six
major disposal  sites and are described in  Section E of this part of the report.
               The second part of the study concerned those materials which were
being disposed of at places other than public disposal sites, referred to as "on
site" disposal.  The on site disposal includes those materials which in the  future
can be expected at public disposal facilities and those materials which will con-
tinue to be disposed of or accumulated on site. The on site materials were de-
termined from commercial and industrial surveys described in Section B and
through special studies.

               Special  studies were conducted to evaluate the wastes from junked
automobiles,  diseased trees,  packing house solids, sewage solids, and the
rubber industry.  These studies are described in Section D.

       B.      Commercial and Industrial Surveys

               1.      Questionnaires.  A survey was conducted to determine
the nature and magnitude of wastes from various  commercial and  industrial
firms in the area.   The purpose of this survey was to determine if there were
individual companies or types of  companies with wastes that could have a signi-
ficant effect on collection and disposal practice due to either the quantity of
waste, or to the presence of wastes which are hazardous or otherwise difficult
to handle at the disposal site, or had plans for significant changes in their waste.
In addition, the survey provided data which couid be used to  supplement waste
quantity  information obtained from the landfill  study.  The firms surveyed were
selected from a complete listing  of industrial and commercial firms in the Study
Area.

                      Mail Questionnaire.   Two types of surveys  were used to
obtain this information.  A mail questionnaire was sent to Zll companies request-
ing a general  description of the types of waste, approximate quantity,  current
method of disposal, and whether  the waste was considered hazardous.   One
follow-up letter was sent to firms which did not reply to  the original mailing.
Replies were  received from 164 firms, or approximately 78% of those con-
tacted.  Where unusual or hazardous wastes were indicated,  or where the  ques-
tions were misinterpreted, a telephone call or a personal visit was made to
secure additional  information. A sample questionnaire form is reproduced in
the Appendix  as Exhibit 2-36.

                                       2-1

-------
                      Approximately  50% of the replies contained complete
enough information that they could be  used in some way for estimating the quan-
tities of on site disposal, and that which was removed to public facilities.

                      Personal Interviews.   87 firms were contacted either by
phone or through personal visit to secure detailed information.  These included
large manufacturers,  food processors,  contractors, wholesalers,  retail stores,
office buildings,  local government agencies and hospitals.

                      Information was obtained on the nature and quantity of
waste, with emphasis  on those wastes which are considered hazardous,  con-
taminated, or otherwise require special handling in transfer and disposal opera-
tions.  This included liquid wastes such as oils, solvents, paint, and ink which
cannot be discharged to the sewer system.

                      All of the firms interviewed were evaluated as to  type of
process or product, nature of the waste,  general magnitude of waste and method
of disposal.  Of the  87 firms interviewed, the data from 49 was considered com-
plete and  accurate enough to be used for estimating quantities of on site disposal
and public disposal.   See Exhibit 2-37 for sample form.

              2.      Waste Quantity.   The firms contacted were  categorized
as to broad type of business activity and divided into general type of product or
process for evaluating the quantities of waste  generated.  The following categories'
were used:

                      I.       Construction

                            A.     Demolition.
                             B.     Construction and General Contracting.

                      II.      Manufacturing

                            A.     Food and Animal Feed Processing.

                      VI.     Finance, Insurance,  Government and Mis-
                             cellaneous Services

                             A.    General Office  & Government.
                             B.    Hospitals.

                      Quantities of waste were estimated in most cases by plant
or office managers.  Most of the estimates were in terms of daily or weekly vol-
umes with some weight information to assist in determining bulk densities for
the various categories.  The reliability of the estimates varied considerably.
Smaller establishments  generally estimated in terms of number and size  of stor-
age containers while in some larger firms, particularly manufacturers, the mag-
nitude of the waste disposal operation necessitated more specific knowledge of
quantities involved.

                      In order  to establish a basis for  relating the data obtained
from the survey to the total waste generated in the  Study Area, waste quantities
were evaluated in terrre  of the number of employees  in the individual firms con-
tacted.

                      Following is a. discussion of  each of the individual com-
mercial and industrial categories with the estimated waste quantity per em- .
ployee.  Quantity figures in terms of average daily pounds per employee are
based on a full 7-day week.

                      I.       Construction
                             A.    Demolition.   Includes demolition contrac-
tors and major demolition by general contractors and builders.  5 firms sur-
veyed.  Range; 13 to 2940 Ib/employee/day.  Average; 455 Ib. /employee/day.
Comment:  Replies varied widely and were difficult to evaluate even in personal
interview due to confusion  between "waste" and  "fill" materials. Number  of em-
ployees not adequate basis  for estimating total quantity of waste and therefore
no estimate of total demolition waste was made from this  source.

                             B.    Construction and General Contracting.   In-
cludes general contractors, heating and air conditioning,  electrical and plumb-
ing contractors.   19 firms surveyed.  Range 0. Z to 28 Ib/employee/day.
Average 3. 1 Ib/employee/day.

                      II.      Manufacturing

                             A.    Food and Animal Feed Processing. Includes

                      VI.     Finance, Insurance,  Government and Miscellaneous
Services

                             A.    General Office  and Government. Includes gen-
eral office buildings,  government offices,  and miscellaneous services not directly
connected with other commercial and industrial categories.  6  buildings surveyed.
Range;  1. 3 to 1,8 Ib/employee/day. Average;  1. 6 Ib/employee/day.

                             B.    Hospitals.   3 surveyed.  Range; 3. 0 to 6. 5
Ib/employee/day. Average;  3.9 Ib/employee/day.

               3.      Total  Industrial - Commercial Waste.  Present  industrial
and commercial wastes were projected using the data obtained  from the survey,
employment  statistics from  the  1963 Census of Business,  U.  S. Department of
Commerce and information published by the  Iowa Employment Security Com-
mission.  Projections were  made for each of the categories listed  in the  preced-
ing paragraph. Table 2-1  sets forth the estimated present quantities of waste in
both cubic yards  per day and tons per day, and gives the percentage surveyed of
the total employment in each category. A high percentage of the manufacturing
group was surveyed, approximately 61 percent of total employment in that group.
For all groups, approximately  20 percent of the total non-agriculatural employ-
ment in the metropolitan area was included in the survey.

                      In order  to establish the amount of present and future on site
disposal the  quantities have  been tabulated as to (1) material disposed  of at public
sites,  (2) material disposed of onsite, including incineration and private landfil-
ling, (3) total quantity of waste  generated,  and (4) material expected to remain-
as on site disposal after air pollution control and landfilling regulations have been
put into effect.

                      The total industrial-commercial waste to public disposal
sites projected from the survey is somewhat less than determined from the land-
fill survey described in Section E.  The 320 tons per day, or 117,000 tons annually,
to public disposal sites, is 78. 5% of the 149,000 tons annually, estimated from
the landfill survey.   The landfill survey is considered a more  reliable estimate,
since it is based  on actual measurement of waste volumes over a weeks opera-
tion at each of the major public landfills.  The  lower values determined from the
industrial-commercial survey may be due  to a number of factors, including a
tendency for  the firms to underestimate their quantity of waste, a relatively
small base from  which to project quantities in some categories,  and possible
inaccuracies in projecting -waste quantities based on employment.

                      Although  a close correlation could not be made between
the two surveys,  the industrial-commercial  survey did meet the  primary ob-
jectives.  A  comparison was established between public disposal and present
and future on site disposal. Materials considered hazardous or  otherwise
troublesome  to handle were  delineated  and, in addition, valuable data was de-
veloped on the approximate waste quantities  generated by various types of in-
dustrial and  commercial activities.

                      Inspection of the total waste quantities  developed from
this  study show that present on site disposal amounts to approximately 13% by
weight of that which is delivered to public disposal sites. Estimates of future
on site disposal correspondingly amount to 4% of that disposed of at public
sites.  The  difference, of approximately 9% on a tonnage basis,  represents the
estimated increase in public disposal of industrial-commercial solid wastes
due to upgrading of incineration standards and effective  control of private
dumping.  On a volume basis, present on site  disposal is somewhat greater,
23%  of that disposed of at public landfills, and the estimated future on site dis-
posal is approximately 9% by volume.

               4.      Conclusion.   Although the  industrial-commercial survey
revealed only about  80% of the annual solid waste tonnage from this activity
compared to the landfill survey,  the industrial-commercial study did provide
valuable information concerning the magnitude of waste  generated by these
activities. Also the  survey produced what can be considered a reasonable esti-
mate of on site disposal in terms of percentages of that disposed  of at public
sites,  for both the present and the future.

                      Special and hazardous waste materials revealed by the sur-
vey are discussed in subsequent paragraphs.  Although a few types of waste re-
quire special handling in storage,  transfer and disposal operations,  no single
industry or  type of industry  produced waste materials of a  magnitude to signi-
ficantly affect the disposal methods considered.

       C.     Residential Survey.   The existing practice in all of the commu-
nities in the Study Area is to collect, or encourage the collection of residential
garbage, generally referred to as domestic kitchen waste. No community pro-
vides collection of other than domestic kitchen waste and none actively encour-
ages collection of other than the domestic kitchen waste by private haulers.  All
permit the burning of domestic combustible rubbish.  Some communities have
regulations concerning burning, however little evidence is available to support
effective enforcement.  The usual practice  is to burn  combustible rubbish in
old oil drums or burning  barrels.  It has been observed that domestic kitchen
wastes are often burned with the combustible  rubbish.  There is no  regular col-
lection of residue from the burning barrels.  The common practice  is to have
commercial haulers  remove residue from  time to time as needed,  when collect-
ing non-combustible  rubbish and bulky wastes.  In some cases, the residue
and non-combustible trash is allowed to accumulate on site. Fortunately, this
practice is not common,  and what is left on site does not represent a significant
quantity for concern  in this study. On site  accumulations should be  discouraged,
regardless of the quantity, for reasons of  general public health and elimination
of blight.

              Domestic kitchen waste is usually collected on a once a week
basis, either by the municipalities or private haulers. This material was
measured  during the landfill  surveys.  The residue from burning and non-com-
bustible refuse hauled to  the disposal points was also measured during the
landfill survey.   The portion which was not measured is that portion of the do-
mestic wastes which was burned on site.

              It was anticipated that certain residences would be selected from
the Study Area and all of the domestic wastes would be collected from these
residences as an experimental group. A comparison  would be made between the
waste quantities collected from the experimental residences, and the kitchen
wastes  of the remaining control group.   Problems were encountered in ob-
taining  controlled conditions for the  remainder of the community with which
the experimental quantities would be compared.  These problems are described
in Part Three,  Section E.  Because  the total domestic waste quantity is only a
small part of the total solid wastes of the community, and because  it is possible
to estimate the  total  per capita domestic waste based on other cities in the
same geographic region where the quantities are known,  it was decided to use
estimates  of the additional domestic waste now being disposed of on site.

               The study of the total quantity of all domestic waste  was not
abandoned.  It was decided to reorganize the collection procedures  and then
convert  several  entire collection routes to the collection of all domestic wastes,
as opposed to garbage only.  Data concerning the reorganized controlled collec-
tion of kitchen waste and parallel experimental data from collection of all do-
mestic  waste has been planned and described in Part  Three, Section E.  The
details  concerning this approach  are explained in a letter to the U.  S.  Public
Health Service,  dated November  1,  1967 and included in the Appendix  as
Exhibit 2-1.   This approach was  approved in a letter from the U. S. Public
Health  Service  dated December 13,  1967.

                                     2-8

-------
               253, 000 cubic yards per year  could be expected if all domestic
waste was collected.  Since  173,000 cubic  yards per year was measured, it is
estimated that the additional amount to be collected, if all domestic waste was
collected,  is equal to  80, 000 cubic yards per year or 15, 000 tons.

       D.      Special Studies

               1.      General.   During the organization of this  study, it was
recognized that there were several special waste problems which could influence
present and future planning.  These special wastes,  though common to communi-
ties, can present unusual collection and disposal problems.   Individual studies
were conducted and analyzed to determine  the influence they would have on the
solid waste program for the area. These special wastes discussed in the  follow-
ing paragraphs include automotive vehicles and the related salvage industries;
tree wastes caused by Dutch Elm disease;  packing house wastes; sewage  solids;
and rubber industry wastes.

               2.      Automobiles and Scrap Metal

                      a.      General.  Abandoned  automobiles, auto salvaging
and scrap metal operations were  studied to determine the extent of the solid
waste involved. It was found that they do not present a solid waste problem of
any significant magnitude, although they do present  many other community prob-
lems. It was also  found that the auto salvaging and scrap metal industries are
not understood by  the  general public. In the following paragraphs, data is given
to explain the function of these industries,  the  problems they create,  what can
be done about the problems and why  they do not create  solid waste in any  large
quantity.

                      b.      The Auto Salvage Industry. The motor vehicle  is
a vital part of our society affecting the general economic structure and life of
the community. The motor vehicle has a definite life cycle.   Based on national
averages,  the motor vehicle survival rate  is as follows:

               Years after Original                 Percent of Vehicles
             	Registration	             	Surviving

                      12                                 33
                      14                                 18

                      During its  life cycle the  motor vehicle will pass from a
transportation unit to a valuable source of materials, providing  spare parts for
other units still operable. Eventually it becomes a  natural resource  of scrap
metals to be used  by the metal making industries.

                      Information from automobile manufacturers and the
salvage industry reveals the average total weight for an automobile is about

                                       2-9

-------
3, 300 pounds, of which 600 pounds, or 18%, is not savable metal, such as
upholstery, rubber mats, tires, hoses, insulation, undercoating, glass and
plastics. The balance of the weight is composed of various kinds of ferrous
metals and non-ferrous metals,  such as  copper,  zinc,  aluminum, lead, brass
bronze and others.

                      The auto salvage industry has been historically identified
as the  "junk yard, " which it is not.  It deals in the salvaging of reusable parts
for the automotive industry.   Unsalvable or obsolete parts are sold to the scrap
metal industry.

                      With the tremendous and continuing increase  of automobile
production over the years,  the auto salvage industry provides a needed service
to the community.   The 1985 predicted motor vehicle  population of the United
States  is estimated at 115 million.  A damaged automobile,  economically unre-
pairable,  can provide many valuable and serviceable spare parts, including
partial body  sections, for the repair of other less damaged vehicles.

                      This industry has a well deserved, bad reputation for aes-
thetic conditions.   Fig. 2-1 shows typical conditions  observed during  the survey.
Recent Federal legislation  in the form of the Highway Beautification Acts,  pro-
vides certain regulation concerning "Auto Wreckers" near or adjacent to
Federally  Funded Highways,  and has brought much attention to the industry.
These  regulations  require certain fencing and screening of the operations under
prescribed conditions. However, this does not apply to many auto salvage opera-
tions in urban areas which must be controlled by zoning laws or other ordinances.
The auto salvager  usually operates in an industrial zone, or similar area through
the legality of zoning variances.

                      The  salvager normally maintains a large and unsightly
stockpile of auto hulks, all potential items of solid waste.  When the auto  has
been stripped of all possible spare parts, it is ready for the conversion to scrap
metal.  Most scrap metal processors  of auto hulks insist they be burned to rid
them of all non-metallic material before they will be accepted as scrap metal.
This requirement is  more  of  an accepted practice than an absolute necessity.
It makes the metal processor's job easier and reduces  his costs. The open burn-
ing of auto hulks is a nuisance to the community, a. source of air pollution  and a
fire hazard.   Fig.  2-2 shows typical burning conditions observed during the sur-
vey.   Passage and strict  enforcement of anti-burning  laws  are necessary to
curb this practice.  Auto hulks can be processed for  metal salvage  •without burn-
ing and are processed this  way in many communities.  Elimination  of burning
will create additional costs to the industry; however this is a problem for the
industry to overcome as a  part of doing business.

                      The  problem of  large inventories of auto hulks  is a prob-
lem the salvage industry has,  and will continue to have as long as scrap metal
prices remain at the present  low level.  New metal making methods have les-
sened the demand for scrap metal and consequently the price has been substan-
tially effected.   Many salvagers stockpile auto hulks hoping for future price
increases, and move  cut some hulks only to make room for newer models.

Automobile Salvage Operation and Hulk Storage on a Public




Right of Way Observed in a Residential Section of the Study Area.

-------
The survey included 25 salvage yards in the Study Area and revealed an esti-
mated 10,280 hulks on hand.  Operators estimated that approximately 37%
of all vehicles on hand would be disposed of with an appreciable increase in the
price of scrap metal. The yards surveyed occupied approximately 109  total
acres, an average of about 108 vehicles per acre.

                     In general, the housekeeping practices of the auto salvage
industry are  poor, contributing to the  public demands that something be done to
clean up this industry.  Part of the problems are inherent in the nature of the
work.  Salvage yards are difficult to maintain in an acceptable and nuisance-
free condition, but it can be done. A few of the operators have made  attempts
to screen their yards and present a  decent appearance. They would do more if
the industry was required to conform to currently existing ordinances and zoning
regulations.  Although many hulks are retained in hopes of improved scrap prices,
many accumulate simply because it  costs more to load and haul the hulks to the
metal salvager than they are worth.  The stripped hulk at this  stage is an indus-
trial waste to the auto salvager.  By allowing  the hulks to accumulate,  he is
postponing the expense  of disposal.  If he were required to site screen his yard
and control the weeds and insect breeding conditions around these old hulks,
more of them would be  promptly removed to the scrap metal dealer.

                     The auto salvage industry in the Study Area has a potential
solid waste problem in  the large inventory of auto hulks.  This potential will not
become a problem of disposal  to the  community while there is a market for the
scrap metal.  Even though it may cost the salvager more to haul the hulk to the
scrap dealer than he  is paid for the  hulk, it is more economical than hauling the
hulk to a municipal disposal site and receiving nothing or being  charged to dis-
pose of it.

                     Strict enforcement of ordinances in the  Study Area per-
taining to operating conditions in and around salvage establishments  is necessary
to improve aesthetic  conditions and  reduce the health and fire  hazards for the
community. Enforcement of these regulations  may cause a temporary surge  of
auto hulks onto the local scrap market,  but we believe this would be a minimal
problem.  Some minor costs to the salvager will result,  but this must be con-
sidered as a  cost of doing business.

                      The auto salvage industry plays  an important role in the
community.  However they must be  required to conduct their business in such
a way that it  will not  interfere with the welfare of others.

              c.     Scrap Metal Industry.  The scrap metal industry is re-
sponsible for the final phase in the life cycle of the  automobile and the source
of other  salvaged metals before they are reclaimed in new metal making pro-
cesses.  This industry has  provided over 40 million tons per year of scrap
metal for metal making industries and foreign exports.  Over 40% of the na-
tion's copper and more than 1/2 million tons of lead is recovered annually by
the scrap metal industry.   The automobile hulk accounts for about 5 million
tons of metal per year.

                      This  industry experiences many of the same problems
outlined  for the  auto salvagers.  Large stockpiles of processed  scrap are often
on hand due to the lack of demand for  the product.  Large and expensive ma-
chinery is required to process the metals and auto hulks and the operation is
seldom confined within buildings.

                      There are two major scrap processors  in the  Study
Area;  one is considerably larger than the other.  Both concerns are located
in industrial zoned areas and make reasonable attempts to keep their operations
inoffensive.  One deals mainly in automobile hulks and the other processes all
types of  scrap.  The  price paid for auto hulks and other  scrap  metals is governed
by the demands  of the basic metal industry and the prices they in turn -will pay.

                     Recent innovations in the steel making process has caused
the local scrap metal dealers to ship their product to out-of-town processors
who have equipment  capable of shredding the scrap  to small pellet size pieces.
Although the end product brings a better price, the  local price is lower.

                     Under present and foreseeable conditions, the automobile
hulk problem in the Study Area can be handled by local scrap dealers.

                     The passage of  anti^burning laws will present some
operational problems to  this industry,  but it is doubtful that they will stop pro-
cessing auto hulks because  of this.

              d.     Abandoned Automobiles.  The present problem of aban-
doned automobiles in the Study Area does not appear to  be  large.  Most old
and unserviceable vehicles  find their way to the scrap metal dealers.

                     Unserviceable or abandoned automobiles on private pro-
perty are considered the problem of the property owner. If abandoned on a
public street or  property,  the City will haul it away,  impound it, and attempt
to locate the last registered owner. If located, the last registered owner is
responsible for  any cost incurred during impoundment.   Periodically the im-
pounded vehicles are auctioned to the  highest bidder. Impound costs are de-
ducted from the  bid price and the  balance, if any, is sent to the  last registered
owner, if he has responded to the previous  notice. Where no owner can be
found,  auction proceeds are retained by the  City.  In 1966  only 344 abandoned
vehicles  were auctioned.
                                     2-13

-------
                      The identification of abandoned automobiles is difficult
under the present system; however the State Motor Vehicle Department regis-
tration system is undergoing a change.  If a method of cross-referencing li-
censing, motor and body numbers is put into effect, most vehicles will be
easily traced to the last registered owner.

                      The present handling of abandoned vehicles in the Study
Area is generally adequate considering that few vehicles are involved.  Aban-
donment may increase if salvagers become reluctant to receive vehicles too
old for parts or salvage value, if new operating regulations are enforced. How-
ever, it  is believed this would not be a serious problem.  Improved vehicle
identification methods, strong enforcement, aid  proper penalties for abandon-
ment of vehicles,  should control any increase.

               e.      Automobile Disposal by Municipalities.  With the increasing
cost of processing of auto hulks , and the passage of air pollution regulations, it
is possible that salvagers will be reluctant to receive or pay for hulks for scrap
purposes.

                      If this were to happen, it is possible  to dispose of auto
hulks in  landfills. During this  study an experiment was conducted at a munici-
pal disposal site  to determine what volume would be required for an average
hulk. A 1957 medium priced station wagon,  including upholstery,  frame and
heavy undermetal, but excluding the  engine block,  bumpers, wheels and tires;
a typical abandoned auto type,  was placed right side up on level ground.  A land-
fill bulldozer was used to crush the hulk.   The operation took approximately
five minutes,  reducing it in volume from  about 432 cubic feet to less than 108
cubic feet, or 4 cubic yards.  Fig. 2-3 shows this  experiment.  The compacted
hulk was easily included with other waste  and covered with earth.   This  is a
poor ending for a proven natural resource,  but indicates disposal by landfilling
is practical.

               f.       Laws and Regulations.  The auto salvage and scrap metal
operation, and the abandoned vehicle are  technically not a solid waste problem.
They are; however, a community problem requiring proper control insofar
as they affect the health, safety and well being of the community. Existing
ordinances and regulations are not adequate for several reasons.  In some  in-
stances, they are unrealistic and consider auto salvaging, the scrap metal  in-
dustry,  junk yards and pawn brokers as being the same. Each are different
and should be treated separately.  Some  requirements are not practical  and if
enforced would require unwarranted expense not only to the industry but to  the
municipality.   In other cases, there are inadequate requirements to protect
the  public.  As a result there is little effective enforcement of existing laws
and regulations.

                      The municipal code  of the City of Des Moines was re-
viewed in those chapters where the problems discussed in this section of the
report are involved.  This code was selected for review because Des Moines

is the largest city in the Study Area and has the most comprehensive code.  It
is not the intention to rewrite any particular provisions. This is the function of
the  municipal authorities.  However, the following is a list of suggestions we
believe should be considered.

                      12 through 51-23.

              In all the ordinances,  it is  suggested  that specific definitions and
categories be established for each of the following subjects, in  lieu of the general
subject "Junk Yards. "

                      1.      Auto Salvage and/or Wrecking Yards.
                      2.      Scrap Metal Processing Yards.
                      3.      Junk Yards.

              Although all the subjects deal in salvable or  reclaimable items,
in a broad general  sense, each has particular and specific problems.

Chapter 2A - Zoning.  The continued restriction of these industries within the
M-2 (Heavy Industrial) Zones  is recommended.

Chapter 3A - Anti  Litter.    This chapter should be revised to specifically pro-
hibit the accumulation or storage of inoperative vehicles on private property in
residential  neighborhoods,  unless the vehicle is properly garaged.  Such vehicle
accumulation or storage can be considered "litter. "

Chapter 20  -  Fire  Prevention  Code; Article III -  Automobile Wrecking Yards,
Junk Yards and Waste Material Handling Plants;  Sections 20-31 through 20-35.
It is suggested that the Section on Location (20-32) should include reference to
weed and foliage control as a means  of reducing brush fires.  Also suggested

                                      2-15

-------
is reference to specified type of free and clear accessibility to all structures
and inventories retained in open yards with regard to fire fighting personnel
and equipment.  It is recommended that Section 20-35 (Burning Operations) be
deleted and all open burning be  prohibited.

Chapter 26  - Junk Dealers; Sections 26-1 through 26-19.  This chapter in parti-
cular should be rewritten with the  earlier suggestion of a clear definition for
the three industries concerned.  Section 26-10 (Records) requires  that all in-
dustries, under the heading of "Junk Yards, " must maintain a record book con-
taining names, addresses,  particulars, weight and description of all trans-
actions. The Auto Salvager should be  required to have only a record of legal
acquisition of the auto through the  use  of title transfer and receipt from the
Motor Vehicle Licensing Authority indicating the vehicle has been cancelled
from the State rolls for salvage purposes.  The scrap metal processor should
be deleted  completely from this requirement when purchasing from sources such
as the properly licensed auto salvager. Similarly, Section 26-11 (Report to
Chief of Police),  requires the present  general category of  "junk  yards" to report,
in writing,  a wide and varied selection of listed items to the Chief of Police
within 24 hours of acquisition.  If properly enforced, this is an unreasonable re-
quirement  of the auto salvager  and/or  scrap metal processor •with regard to the
automobile.  The title transfer and  release from the State authority would supple-
ment this.   Many of the sections in this chapter could be general requirements
and expected for all the industries, but others should be amended for  specific
situations as applicable.

Chapter 30  - Motor Vehicles and Traffic; Article XIV - Penalties,  Procedure
upon Arrest and Impounding; Sections 30-867 through 30-885; and Chapter 39 -
Police Department; Sections 39-6,  39-9 and 39-10.   These chapters were re-
viewed with regard to motor vehicle abandonment and police power to arrest
and/or cite violations.  It  is suggested that the 40 days required for impound-
ment,  and  other time-consuming factors outlined in Sections 30-880 (Release
of vehicle to owner after notice by  State),  30-881 (Notice of sale  of unclaimed
vehicles),  and 30-882 (Time, place and manner of sale), should be reviewed
to determine the possibility of shortening the total required impoundment time.
This would  provide a faster turnover of stored vehicles and in particular the
obviously abandoned type.

Chapter 46  - Rat and Pest Control; Article I  - Ratproofing;  Sections 46-1
through 46 -1 7.  Although  no specific  evidence of rodent or  insect breeding
was observed in this  survey, hulks and weeds provide cover and  water for
rodents. The standing water in hulks and wet areas of salvage and scrap yards
provide breeding places for insects.  This  chapter  should include provision for
control of conditions which produce desirable  breeding environment for rodents
and insects.

Chapter 51  - Smoke Abatement; Article I -  In General; Sections 51-1 through
51-11; Article II - Construction, etc,  of Combustion Units  for Production of
Heat or Power; Sections 51-12 through 51-23.  This chapter was reviewed in
conjunction with the open burning of automobiles under present conditions, and


                                      2-16

the recommendation that open burning be prohibited.  Smoke caused by open
burning should be included in this chapter and applicable sections.  This chapter
should include  requirements for incineration facilities for automobile and/or
general refuse.

       3.      Special Tree Waste

               a.      General.   Normally, tree wastes are a small part of the
total solid waste of a community.   However, because of the Dutch Elm Disease
in the  Study Area, and the quantities of trees infected and being removed, spe-
cial attention was given to this tree waste problem.

                      It is estimated that,  since the discovery of the Dutch Elm
Disease in the Study Area in 1959, 52% of the 260, 000 original elm trees have
been removed or are presently diseased and  must be removed.  The rate of tree
loss per year has increased from about 0. 5% in 1959, to approximately 15% for
1967.  If the rate of loss continues to increase,  all of the American Elm trees
in the Des Moines area will be diseased by 1970.

                      By the  end of 1967 approximately  104,000 diseased trees
had been removed, most of which have been disposed of  by landfilling methods
at public sites.   No volume or weight records have been maintained; therefore
future volumes and weights are based on known properties of elm wood,  exist-
ing estimates,  and information developed in cooperation with city, state and
Federal foresters.

                      For purposes of this report the American Elm trees
have been divided into problem trees and other trees. Problem trees are
those trees  in populated areas and along roadways which are a potential hazard
to life and property when they are dead.

                      The problem trees will be  removed and are considered
as  solid waste which must be provided for. The other trees are those in re-
mote or rural areas which probably will not be removed or will not be brought
to solid waste disposal facilities. These other trees are not included in esti-
mates of existing trees or trees to be removed and disposed of.

                      The greatest quantity of problem trees are located in the
City of Des  Moines and the immediate area.  The amount of this special tree
waste  contributed by Study Area communities outside the city limits  of Des
Moines is estimated to be 35% of the amount  of American Elm tree material
that was in the City of Des Moines in 1959.  Elm tree quantity calculations
for the Study Area are shown in Table 2-3.

               b.     Disposal by Commercial or Industrial Use.  Investiga-
tion indicates that elm wood has few commercial or industrial uses and then
only if the user is close to the source of material to reduce shipping costs.
Some elm wood is used for making pallets, dunnage, furniture and veneer,

although the demand is  very small.  The physical properties of elm wood pre-
clude its use as structural material.  It tends to  split and twist when drying.
The largest consumers of elm wood are the pulp mills making fiberboard, cor-
rugated boxing and particle board and similar material.  The closest mills were
located along the Mississippi River at Dubuque and Fort Madison.  These mills
use elm wood chips and other wood chips which are locally available and
apparently there is no foreseeable shortage of supply.   These industries indi-
cated some interest in using the  Des Moines area wood,  but they would not accept
it in log form.   Processing the elm wood into chip form  would require a local
saw mill and chipping operation.  The economics  of this are questionable as shown
in Appendix Exhibit 2-2,  and discussed in the following paragraph.

                     It is estimated that 574, 000 tons of useful chips could be
produced and shipped for  $4, 723, 000.  At $8. 00 per ton  the receipts would be
$4, 592, 000 for a net loss of $131, 000.   Comparing this total to the disposal costs
of approximately $630,  000, there appears to be  a potential saving of approximately
$500, 000.  This savings is  approximately 10% of the total operating cost and  could
disappear if there were any unusual operating problems. Operating problems
could be expected in chipping city trees due to the presence of tramp iron.  Many
mills refuse to accept city trees for  chipping for this reason.  Marketing elm
wood for pulp purposes is not recommended.

                     Elm. wood as a fuel for power plants "was considered.    It
would again have to be  chipped.  After  chipping the elm fuel would cost more per
useful Btu  than coal.    This outlet was  not considered further.

              c.     Disposal by Incineration or Open Burning.   In another  sec-
tion of this report it is  estimated that incineration of mixed solid •waste  costs
approximately six times as much as  disposal by sanitary landfill methods under
conditions  in the Study  Area.   In the  preceding paragraph it was  stated that the
chipped elm wood cost  more per useful Btu than coal.  It is apparent that incin-
erators which would burn the elm wood are not feasible even when considering
waste heat recovery.  No further consideration -was given to incineration of elm
tree wastes.

                     It is possible to  burn the elm trees in open fires.  Although
logs are difficult to burn,a proper arrangement could be made which would re-
duce  most  of the wood to  ash.  It would be possible to control such a burning
operation from becoming a  fire hazard although a considerable amount of land
preparation and labor would be required.   This method is not recommended
because of the air pollution problem that would be created.
                                      2-19

-------
              d.       Disposal by Landfill.  Diseased elm tree waste can be
disposed of in landfill sites, separately or with other solid waste of the commu-
nity.  When filled separately,  many sites would be available that might not  be
available for mixed operations.  This  is the only advantage. When filled alone
considerably more earth is required.   Logs are particularly difficult when
handled alone.  They pile up one upon  another and make a very difficult  surface
upon which to work  landfill equipment. The limbs are not adequate  to solve this
problem.   Large quantities of earth are  required to fill around logs to make a
stable mass.

                      When filled with other solid waste from the community,
the other material packs around the logs making a  satisfactory working surface.
Only cover dirt is required. With the other material adding to the total volume,
the unit operating cost of the  operation is reduced.  It is less expensive to bury
the elm tree waste with other  solid waste than  to bury it in a site separately.

                      The cost of operating a sanitary landfill in the Study  Area
has been estimated  to be $1.10 per ton.  This is the most economically acceptable
way to dispose  of the diseased elm  tree wastes.

                      The present and future quantities of special tree waste
are discussed in Sections H and I.  Complete elm tree  statistics  and calcula-
tions are included in Appendix  Exhibit 2-2.

       4.       Packing House Waste.   The several packing houses in Des Moines
were surveyed to determine the extent of their kill and the disposal  of paunch
manure and pen sweepings. The paunch manure and pen sweepings  represent a
considerable quantity of waste.  None of this waste was measuredat the landfill
sites during the surveys because this material is currently being flushed  down
public  sewers,  or piled on  the premises of the packing plants, or hauled to
farm land.

               It is  doubtful that the City will allow the continued flushing of
paunch manure down public sewers in the future.  Paunch manure and pen
sweepings  cannot be treated in conventional sewage treatment facilities and if
allowed to  enter  the plant in quantity, will cause clogging  of pumps and pipe
lines,  and  fill digesters, with this material which digests very slowly.

               It is  also believed that packing plants will not be permitted to
continuously pile this  material on their premises and that farm land disposal
will be uneconomical. Experience in other  cities has shown that in recent years
the packing industries have been required  to dispose of this material to elim-
inate the odors caused by the decomposition of the  organics and  the  problem
with rat and insect control.

               Paunch manure can be treated or disposed  of using a variety of
methods.   It can be incinerated,  dried for  feed, or placed in sanitary landfills.
Incineration is  considerably more expensive than sanitary landfilling and  is
not considered further in this  study.  Feeding of paunch manure has been

                                      2-20

-------
tried, and abandoned, over a period of many years.  There are a few new pro-
cesses which are preparing paunch manure for feed on a limited scale,  but
these processes have not been sufficiently proven.

               The industry has found that the best way to dispose of paunch
manure in an area like the Study Area, is by sanitary  landfill.  The industry
may wish to dewater the material to reduce the weight of the material and the
problems of hauling.  Basically they will probably  landfill it in the future.

               Based upon calculations shown in Appendix Exhibit 2-3, the
annual quantities of paunch manure and pen sweepings are estimated to  be
11,300 tons or 11,200 cubic  yards (compacted).  Since these quantities  are
estimated for the current year, no  seasonal adjustment is necessary.

               These quantities were used as  part of the total present quantities
of commercial and industrial wastes summarized in Section H.

       5.      Sewage Solids

               a.      General.   All of the  municipal  sewage solids  in the
Study Area are treated at sewage treatment plants. The 1967 plant population
of the main Des Moines sewage treatment plant is 240,000 people.  This is
approximately 81% of the Study Area population.  The  remainder of the  sewage
is treated at several small treatment plants or in the  case or rural areas, in
individual septic tanks  or similar facilities.

                      There is no practical way to accurately measure  the
quantity  of solids at the Des Moines plant at this  time, due to the intermittent
and interrupted operation caused by current alterations and enlargement. How-
ever, there are recent figures available from the basis of design of the current
improvements. These figures were used in developing the quantity estimate
and included in Appendix Exhibit 2-4.

               b.      Disposal of Sewage Solids.   The sewage solids of the
Study Area are primarily those of the Des Moines  sewage treatment plant.
The characteristics used in this study are based on this plant's particular
process  which produces digested,  dewatered vacuum filter cake,  raw screen-
ings, and washed grit.  Other  plants produce quantities somewhat different in
physical characteristics, however they are assumed to be the same as Des
Moines for this analysis. Small quantities of dewatered sludge from the smaller
plants dewater ing beds, when mixed with Des Moines  filter cake, would be
difficult  to distinguish when placed in a large sanitary landfill with the other
solid waste of  the community.  It would also be indistinguishable if burned in
a sewage solids incinerator,  or mixed with other solid waste in a general
mixed refuse  incinerator.

                      Three methods of disposal are  considered in this study:
Sanitary Landfill, Incineration With Mixed Refuse, and Incineration in a Sewage
Solids Incinerator.  These methods are explained,  and the costs estimated in
the following paragraphs.

                                     2-21

-------
               c.      Disposal by Sanitary Landfill Method.  Sewage solids in
the form of dewatered cake, which include sludge and settled grease; plus grit
and screenings, may be disposed of by sanitary landfill methods.  This method
has a reputation which ranges from excellent to very bad.  It is economical,
but if managed poorly the  results can be unsatisfactory.  Properly managed,
the economy can be enjoyed without the bad side  effects.

                      Raw sludge,  with or without grease, dumped in the open
without proper covering, will  cause odors which can be detected for miles.  The
same sludge properly buried either in a separate sanitary landfill or with other
solid waste in a sanitary landfill will cause no odor.

                      Digested sludge has similar characteristics but presents
less of a problem.  Most of the solids in  the Study Area are digested; therefore,
we have confined this  analysis to disposing of the digested sewage solids.

                      Sewage  solids cake from a vacuum dewatering filter will
compact with other refuse without difficulty; although a somewhat higher settle-
ment can be expected  than compacted refuse alone.  The settlement would not
become a problem due to the relatively small amount of sewage solids compared
to the volume of refuse.  If sewage solids were filled in a site  separate  from
other refuse, the depth of fill  should be less per layer, and more earth required
for mixing, but many  layers could  be formed over a period of time.

                      Sewage  solids can be landfilled if reasonable care is
exercised  and proper  facilities are provided.  This method of disposal has  been
used  with success  in many communities.

                      The cost of sanitary landfilling sewage solids is made up
of two basic parts,  i.  e.  hauling and filling.  The cost estimate for disposal by
sanitary landfill methods is estimated at  $0. 49 per C. Y. This estimate is based
on filling with other refuse from the City.  If a separate sanitary landfill site
can be located significantly  closer  to the  sewage treatment plant, the cost of
hauling can be reduced.  To bury a small quantity of material would cost more
per cubic  yard  than the unit cost associated with the large refuse landfill opera-
tion;  therefore, the haul savings would have to be great enough to offset  the
increased  filling cost.  It is likely  that such a  savings can be made.  In the  cose
estimate shown in  Table 2-4,  the fill  cost is $ 0. 49 per C. Y. and the haul cost
is $1. 11 per C. Y.  If the unit fill cost were increased by 100%, the savings
could still  be made if  the haul was  reduced by  37% or more.   To accomplish
such  a savings, the haul would have to be reduced from  1 hour  per round trip
to 38 minutes or less.

                      In the case of Des Moines'sewage treatment plant,  the
land adjacent to the plant now used for sludge lagoons could be  developed for
emergency sanitary landfilling of solids to be used during bad winter weather.
Immediate plans will require the disposal of sewage solids before the future
landfill site is  established.  If landfill methods are  adopted, the present City
landfill site could be used,  or a  separate  site established.   For purposes of

                                      2-22

-------
evaluation of long term methods, the cost of separate landfill operation is
based on the same cost as landfilling with general refuse.

                                 Table 2-4
                     Cost of Disposal of Sewage Solids
                      by Sanitary Landfill Methods	
1.     Haul Cost
       a.     Assume average day loads, 1967 to 1987

              1.     Filter cake,  screenings and grit, per average work
                     day, average year,  is 180 C. Y. per day.
              2.     Using  a  10 C. Y. truck, there are 18 loads per day.
              3.     A truck  of this type with fuel and driver and all other
                     expenses, costs approximately $9. 50 per hour.
              4.     The location of the sanitary landfill site is assumed
                     to be in  the vicinity of the intersection of 1-35 and
                     1-80, northeast of Des Moines.  It is estimated that
                     a round  trip  would  take 60 minutes, plus 5 minutes
                     turnaround time at each end. Total time per load
                     = 70 minutes.
              5.     18 loads @ 1. 17 hours each = 21. 1 hours per day.
              6.     Daily cost of 21. 1 hours @ $9. 50 per hour = $200. 00
                     per day.
              7.     Cost per C.  Y.  = $200. 00 4- 180 C.  Y.  = $1.11 per C.

2.     Land Fill Cost
              Assume same cost as for General Refuse,  if it is buried with
              the other city refuse.  (49£ per C.  Y. ).
3.     Total Cost
              Hauling        $1.11

              Fill             . 49
                             $1. 60 per C. Y. @  1760 Ibs/C. Y. = $1. 82
                                                       per ton wet.

              d.     Disposal by Incineration.   Sewage solids, with or with-
out grease, can usually  be incinerated in any of several sewage solids incin-
erators, or mixed with refuse and burned in a mixed refuse incinerator.   The
City of Des Moines is planning to install grease  and scum incineration  equip-
ment at their main plant. Therefore these calculations are based on quantities
and characteristics of digested solids without floated grease and skimmings.
                                     2-23

-------
                      (1)     Incineration in Sewage Solids Incinerator.  There
should be sufficient heat to burn the digested sewage sludge without the addition
of supplemental fuel; however, it may be necessary to mix some grease with
the sludge to increase its heat content for deodorization.  These calculations
and estimates are based on the assumption that there will be sufficient heat
content to accomplish burning and deodorization without the need for additional
grease or supplemental fuel.  This incineration can be accomplished in a variety
of incinerators.

                      (2)     Incineration by Mixing with Refuse.  If the sewage
solids are incinerated with other  solid waste in a refuse incinerator, the sludge
probably would have to be  pre-dried.  There are several types of driers avail-
able to accomplish this purpose.

                      (3)     Costs of Incineration in a Sewage Solids Incinerator.
The  cost of disposal is based on quantities developed in Appendix Exhibit 2-4
The  quantities,  explanations and costs are shown in Appendix Exhibit 2-5.  The
costs are estimated at $9. 74  per  ton for dry weight solids and  $2. 91 per  ton on
a wet basis.

                      (4)     Cost of Incineration With Refuse. To incinerate
sewage solids with general refuse in a municipal incinerator •would  cost approxi-
mately the same as general refuse.  A general refuse incinerator is designed to
handle material with a moisture content considerably less than the  filter cake
and therefore a higher solids content. The cost of pre-drying should be offset
by reduced unit handling expense. The cost of incinerating general  refuse, as
developed in another  part of this report, is estimated to be $6. 50 per ton on
an "as received" basis, -with  up to 40% moisture.  This  is equal to $10. 83 per
ton of dry weight.  The sewage solids will have a solids content of approximately
30%.  The cost of incinerating the mixture of sludge cake, grit and screenings is
estimated to be $10.83 per ton on a dry weight basis and $3.25  per ton on a •wet
basis.

               e.      Recommended Method of Disposal.  The disposal  of
sewage solids can be accomplished  by sanitary landfill or incineration.   A
comparison of the unit cost on a wet and dry basis, and total costs are given
in Table 2-5.

                      Since all three  methods are acceptable,  the recommenda-
tion  is based on economy.

                      It is  recommended that sewage solids be disposed  of by
sanitary landfill methods.

Note:          Tonnages used both dry and wet,  are based on average year.

        6.      Rubber Industry Solid Waste.  There are two major manufac-
turers of rubber products in the Study Area.  The total volume  of waste from
this industry is small when compared to the waste from the community as a
whole.
               Part of the waste is  solid, such as scrap tires and trimmings,
and miscellaneous rubbish.  This waste is currently  being disposed of at pub-
lic disposal sites and presents no problems.  Part of the waste is  semi-solid
and presents several problems. The problem wastes consist of volatile fluids
such as naptha,  some grease and oils,  white side wall  dust and black rubber dust.

               The naptha solvents are presently burned at the Polk county
landfill site in  an open pit.   The other materials are  landfilled.

               The naptha solvents should not be burned in the open nor allowed
to evaporate due to air pollution problems and fire hazards.   The oils and greases
could be landfilled with other wastes although these require special attention.
The white  side wall  dust is a special fire hazard due  to spontaneous combustion.
It cannot be safely included in  landfilling operation with other combustible ma-
terial.  The black rubber dust is a finely ground material which sticks to land-
fill machines and is disagreeable to the  operators.

               These special problem wastes  should be excluded from the land-
fill sites under normal circumstances.  There are wastes from other industries
which are hazardous.  These industries are required to safely dispose of their
own waste or process them to  a harmless state before  depositing them in a
public disposal facility.   The rubber industry should  be required to do the same.

               Frequently an industry dumps waste products as the  least ex-
pensive method of disposal.  If dumping or similar inexpensive disposal is not
available,  industries have found many ways to dispose of the waste.  In some
cases the waste or part of the  waste is reclaimed.  The cost may be greater
than dumping but the cost of treatment of the remaining -waste is reduced.  In
other cases industries have  reprocessed combustible waste material and used
them as fuels.
                                       2-25

-------
                      There are several ways this industry can dispose of their
hazardous waste and they should be required to do so. Their other waste should
be accepted.

              7.       Other Special Waste Industries.  There are several in-
dustries in the Study Area that create solid or non-solid wastes which could
be hazardous if disposed of in sanitary landfill sites.   Included in part in this cate-
gory are pharmaceutical plants, drug wholesalers, hospitals, herbicide and
insecticide manufacturers, paint manufacturers and metal plating industries.

                      These industries  recognize the hazardous nature of their
waste material and either  pretreat it to render it harmless or dispose of it in
their own facilities.  The managers of public landfill  sites should however be
alert to hazardous materials.
       E.
Landfill Surveys.
               1.      General.   A seven day 24 hour  per day  surveillance was
established at each of six major landfill sites in the Study Area.  The sites were
continuously manned by from one to four technicians, except when the site was
officially closed to preclude deliveries of waste.

                      The sites and the dates of the surveys are given in Table 2-6.

-------
                      It was apparent that most of the solid waste was being
deposited at the two sites operated by the City of Des Moines; however, the
site operated by the City of West Des Moines  and  the site operated privately
on Euclid Avenue were receiving enough material to be significant. Two other
sites, Polk County and Ankeny were included  to be certain  not to pass up an
opportunity to gather adequate data.   The disposal at the remainder of the  sites
was negligible and was included  in the estimates of on site disposal.

                      The purpose of the site surveys was  to determine the
quantity and characteristics of solid waste being delivered  to places of dispo-
sal,  plus  other valuable data which could be acquired at the same time.  Most
of the solid waste being generated in the community must  be  removed from the
source at regular intervals.  Thus if a continuous surveillance is maintained
during the course of an entire week the  information acquired  will be represen-
tative of the waste  being generated.  The data acquired must  be adjusted and
supplemented with other data.   However, this data is the major source  of in-
fo rmation concerning  the solid waste of the community.

                      Solid waste as received at a place of disposal is an ex-
tremely heterogeneous material.  The usual way to determine the characteris-
tics of the material is  to analyze representative samples as received.  A dif-
ferent approach was taken during the landfill  surveys.   Each load as it arrived
at the disposal site was viewed and the type of material in the load recorded.
Where there was a mixture of materials, an estimate of the percentage of each
material was made.   Certain anticipated mixtures were considered as  material
classifications in themselves. An explanation of the development of the unit
weights for the various material classifications is included in Appendix, Ex-
hibit 2-6.

                      Such an approach would.have been impractical without
the use of computers which are  able to process  the large quantity of informa-
tion (more than 9000 loads were received and recorded).   By knowing the
characteristics of the materials and the total quantity of each,  it is possible
to make reasonably accurate estimates  of the solid waste of the entire Study
Area.

                      While the quantity and types of materials were being re-
corded, other information was also obtained.   The nature  of  this information
and how it was processed and used is described in the following paragraphs
concerning major computer programs,  and in various other sections of the
report.  However, it is appropriate to briefly mention the  information here
by describing the survey form.   This form,  Figure 2-4,  "Landfill Survey
Questionnaire" is reproduced in this  section.  The instructions  giving the
details for its use are  included in the Appendix  as Exhibit 2-7.  The form
included provisions for recording the following:

               1.      Book Number.
               2.      Date of Survey.
               3.       Time of Day.
               4.      County License of Vehicle Registration.

                     The landfill surveys were scheduled to avoid unusual condi-
tions.  Weeks containing holidays were avoided. Where a holiday fell on or near
a weekend the surveys were delayed beyond the weekend to avoid recording accu-
mulations due to the holiday.  Similarly, weather conditions were considered.
Where rain and wet weather became a possible  factor, one survey in progress
was abandoned and restarted after the weather and site  conditions had improved.
Each  survey  covered a  seven consecutive day period free  of disruptive conditions.

              2.      Computer  Programs.

                     a.     General.  In all of the programs, certain termino-
logy is used which must be understood.  The reader is cautioned to be certain the
right  data is  selected and the right conditions and units  are used.  The termino-
logy is not difficult or profound;  it is tedious. Reference  will be made to compu-
ter programs by program designations A through I.  These programs are further
designated by sortings.  For example, Program A, "Quantities of Materials by
Disposal Process  and by Hours  of the Day" was  produced  in 49 varieties by sort-
ing the data into 49 different groups or combinations. There were 8 sorts for
each of the six sites representing the  seven individual days and the summation
of the entire  week, and one additional sort which produced the  sum of all days
and all sites.  Where the sorting  was by days, the totals are per day, and when
sorted by the entire  week, the totals are per week.   The week  or day may be
seasonally adjusted to convert the raw data to a typical  day or  typical week,
but in each case it is labeled to  reflect the true conditions. There are certain
cases where  this  procedureis changed; however, the data is properly marked
to reflect the true conditions.

                            Before any programs •were run, all of the  data
was tested in specific test programs to find potential  errors.  These test pro-
grams are described in the Appendix  Exhibit 2-8.  In total there were 49 sorts
for each of the Programs A through D; nine sorts each for Programs E,  F and
G; plus one each for Programs H and I, for a total of 225  sets  of data.   All of
the data is not reproduced in this report because of the  volume of material.
Certain portions have been reproduced where appropriate. The entire data is
available  for interested persons.

                            Not all of the data was used in the analysis of
the problems peculiar to this Study Area.   In some  cases  the data was pro-
duced for the benefit of researchers who may have use for the  data not pre-
viously available.  The various combinations  of data in some  cases were the

                                      2-28

-------
result of simply leaving a computer subprogram  in a main program, and ac-
quiring basic  data as a byproduct while obtaining certain required information.
We have tried to describe the data, how and under what conditions it was ga-
thered, and how it was adjusted, to make this information as useful as possible
to others with similar problems.   We have attempted to produce data and re-
port exactly the source and conditions both for our use and for the use  of others
as it may apply.

                              The data was processed on an IBM 360/65 com-
puter with a 262K memory.  The data was established on  cards and then con-
verted to magnetic  tape for processing.

                              The terms which are common to several programs
are explained as  follows:

                              (1)     Cubic Yards  as Received. These are the
cubic yards of material appearing  in Columns 33-36 of the survey form.  They
are not adjusted for seasonal or  compaction factors.  They are adjusted for
Condition of Material as indicated  in Column 49 of the survey  form.  They are
also adjusted  for packer trucks.

                              (Z)     Packer Truck Adjustment.   Where the ma-
terial was  delivered in a packer truck, it was  considered pre-compacted to the
extent that if it had been delivered loose, it would have occupied three times
the volume actually measured in the truck.  Since each material has been assigned
a compaction  factor,  a seasonal factor,  and a unit weight  based on a loose "as
received" condition, materials delivered in a  packer  truck use the same factors,
but the volume is automatically multiplied by three.   Quantities shown as "As
Received, " include the material brought in packer trucks, but  is reported as the
larger volume which would have been received if  a non-packer truck has been
used.

                              (3)     Pounds  as  Received. The same as "Cubic
Yards as Received" except the volume of each material on each load was multi-
plied by the appropriate unit weight for that particular material to convert from
cubic yards to pounds.  The unit  weights  used are shown in Table 2-7.

                              (4)     Vehicles, or Vehicles this Hour  are  simply
a count of the  vehicles for the appropriate unit of time.

                             (5)      Seasonal Factor  Adjustment. A factor was
assigned to each material which would adjust the amount of material received
during the  day or week to the average daily or 7-day rate which would be ex-
perienced over the entire year.  The factors are shown  in Table 2-7.

                             (6)      Compaction Factor Adjustment.   A fac-
tor was assigned to each material which would adjust the material received dur-
ing the day  or week to reduce its volume "as received" to the volume which it
would occupy when mixed with other materials and was compacted into a land-
fill. Cover dirt  is not included.  See Table 2-7.

                             (7)      Other terms are explained in the  program
description where they are used.

                      b.      Computer Program A - Quantity of Refuse by
Disposal Process and by Hours of the Day. In this program the materials were
sorted by hours of the day and by potential disposal process.  The hours started
at midnight and ran through the 24-hour day.  Five potential disposal processes
were considered.   Each load was examined by the computer and  compared to a
set of instructions  which determined if that load could be accepted by the process.
If it could,   the load was recorded for the process.  If it could not, the load was
recorded in the space next  to that process  marked "To  Land Fill" or "Not for
	"  as appropriate.  For  example,  a load of broken pavement would be
accepted at a sanitary landfill and so recorded.  When considered for incinera-
tion it was  rejected and  sent "To Landfill. " When considered for composting it
would be rejected and sent  "To  Landfill. "  As soon as one  potential process was
completed,  the next process was considered.  The load  is included in all five
processes.

                             The Sanitary Landfill Process would accept all
materials and is the same "As Received CY" and "As Received Pounds" except
the cubic yards have been adjusted for compaction and seasonal variation, and
the pounds  have been adjusted for seasonal variation only.

                             The Incineration Process  - All loads and each ma-
terial content of a load were checked to determine if the load could be accepted
at an incinerator or should be diverted to  a sanitary landfill.  Loads consisting
of materials 2, 6,  12 through 26, 30 through 33,  40 through 43,  50, 51,  52,
57 and 70 through 74 would be accepted.  Other loads containing  less than 25%
of the materials not listed above would be accepted.  All other loads would be
diverted  from the incinerator to a sanitary landfill.  On this basis,  two sets
of data were determined, i. e.  "To Incinerator" and "To Landfill. "  In each of
these two main classifications,  the material is shown in cubic yards and pounds.
They are adjusted for  seasonal  factor and for compaction factor where appro-
priate.

                             The Composting Process  - All loads  and each
material content of a load were checked to determine if the load  could be
accepted at a composting plant or should be diverted to  a sanitary  landfill.

                                      2-31

-------
Loads consisting of materials  12 through 23, 30 through 33, 40 through 43, 50,
70, 71  and 72 would be accepted.  Other loads containing less than  10% of the
materials not listed above would be accepted. All other loads would be diverted
from a composting plant to a sanitary landfill.  On this basis, two sets of data
were determined, i.  e. "To Composting" and "To Landfill. " In each of these
two main classifications the material is shown in cubic yards and pounds.   They
are adjusted for  seasonal factor and for compaction factor,  where appropriate.

                             The Dry Land Fill - All loads and each material
content of a load were checked to determine if the load could be dumped in a dry
landfill site.  This site would  be similar to a sanitary landfill but would be  one
which would not require the same degree of care in handling and covering to
protect the  community from rats, odors,  gases,  unsightly refuse and insects.
It  could be a gulley or low area in town where filling was desired.   Material
which could not be dumped in a dry landfill would be diverted to a sanitary land-
fill site for disposal.  Loads consisting of materials 1 through 5 and  35 through
37 would be accepted.  All other loads would be diverted to  a sanitary landfill.
On this basis,  two sets of data were determined, i. e.  "To  Dry Landfill" and
"Not to Dry Landfill. " This latter  set would be to  Sanitary  Landfill.  In each of
these two main classifications, the material is shown in cubic yards  and pounds.
They are adjusted for seasonal factor and for compaction factor, where appro-
priate.

                             The Wet Land Fill - All loads and each material
content of a load were checked to determine if the load could be dumped in a
wet landfill site.  This site would be similar to a worked out quarry where there
was  standing water or any other site subject to ground water inundation where
contamination of ground water  through leaching could occur. Material which
could not be dumped  into such a wet landfill would be diverted to a sanitary
landfill for  disposal.  Loads consisting of  Materials 1, 3, 4 and 5 would be
accepted. All other loads  would be  diverted to  a sanitary landfill.   On this
basis,  two sets of data were determined,  i. e. "To Wet Landfill" and "Not
to Wet Landfill. "  In each of these two main classifications, the material is
shown in cubic yards and pounds.   They are adjusted for  seasonal factors and
compaction factors where appropriate.

                             Program A was run for each day, for each site;
for the  totals for each  site; and the totals for all days, all sites. The totals
for each site and totals for all days,  all sites are shown in  Exhibits 2-9
through  2-15.

                      c.      Computer Program B -  Quantities of Refuse
by  Disposal Process and by Type of Vehicle.  This program is the same as
Program A except the  type of  vehicle has been substituted for the hours of
the day. The vehicle types are those  recorded in column 15 of  the survey
form.

                             Program B was run for the same days,  sites
and  totals as Program A.   Only the run containing all days, all sites is
shown in Exhibit 2-16.

                                      2-32

                      d.      Computer Program C  -  Quantity of Refuse by
Disposal Process and Type of Hauler,   This program is the same as Program
A except the type of hauler is substituted for the hours of the day.  The types
of haulers  are  those shown in columns 17  and 18, of the survey form and ex-
plained in Exhibit 2-7.   The number of vehicles  for each hauler type will not
add up to the total shown.  The total is correct and represents the actual num-
ber of vehicles during the day or week;  however, where a hauler type 4, 5,
or 6 was involved, the vehicle was counted each time the 4,  5 or 6 appeared.
A single vehicle with part 4, part 5 and part 6 loads would be recorded  in all
three places.

                             Program C was run for the same days,  sites and
totals as Program A.  Only the run containing all days for all sites is shown
in Exhibit 2-17.

                      e.      Computer Program D  -  "As Received" Quantities
of Refuse by Type of Vehicle and by Hours of the Day.  In this program the "As
Received"  quantities are sorted by type of vehicle  and by hours of the day.  The
program is self-explanatory except to note that  the quantities in both cubic
yards and pounds are not adjusted for seasonal or  compaction factors.

                             Program D was run for the same days, sites,  and
totals as Program A.  Only the run containing all days for all sites is shown in
Exhibit 2-18.

                      f.       Computer Program E  -  Quantities of Refuse and
Adjustment Factors by Material Classification.  In this program all loads were
examined and each material in a load was sorted by material classification.
The quantity of material in each classification was adjusted for seasonal and
compaction factors for each material,  one at a time.

                             The several columns of data produced are ex-
plained as  follows:

                             (1)      Material  Received:  The cubic yards
and pounds are as received but added are  the percent of each material to the
total.

                             (2)      Compaction Factor:  The factors used
to adjust "as received" loose  quantities to "compacted in place" quantities.

                             (3)      Compacted C.  Y. :  These are the as
received cubic  yards multiplied by the  compaction factor expressed as C. Y.
and as % of total.

                             (4)      Seasonal Adjustments:   The factor used
to adjust the quantities measured during the survey •week to make these  quan-
tities representative of the entire year. COMPCYisthe cubic yards as  re-
ceived and adjusted Tor compaction factor multiplied by the  seasonal factor.

                                     2-33
  453-956 O - 72 - 6

-------
The % CY which follows  COMP CY is the % of this material to the total after ad-
justment for compacting and seasonal factor.  The POUNDS and % POUNDS are
as received quantities adjusted for seasonal factor only.   (Pounds cannot be com-
pacted).  CUBIC YARDS are the as received cubic yards adjusted for seasonal
factor only.  They are not compacted.

                             Program E was run for the totals for each site,
and for the totals of all days for all sites.  These programs are shown in Ex-
hibit 2-19 through 2-25.

                      g.      Computer Program F - Centroids of Refuse by
Material Classification.   This program is primarily for  the purpose of deter-
mining the centroids of materials which will be explained below;  however,  a
summation of volumes and weights was included for convenience.  This summa-
tion is the volume and weight of material normally stated in cubic yards and
pounds per week,  or per day.  In this case, the volumes and weights have  been
increased to represent an annual quantity.  The volume is acre feet per year
adjusted for  seasonal and compaction factors.  The weight is tons per  year ad-
justed for seasonal factor only.

                             Centroids were computed for both south  and west
coordinates.  They were computed by dividing, the sum of all of the products
of coordinates times the load by the sum of the load,  where the load was ex-
pressed in both seasonally adjusted cubic yards  and seasonally adjusted pounds.

            pjECoordinate X CY    also   _ C Coordinate X Pounds
                     CY                          Pounds

                             The coordinates are those recorded in columns
38 through 44 of the survey form.  The cubic yards and pounds are "as received".

                             The centroids represent the single theoretical lo-
cation of all of the material within a sort.  This may be the centroid of a ma-
terial, a site,  or  the entire study area, as appropriate.

                             In the typeout, the columns  reproduced are marked
CY SUM or LB SUM.  These  are the summation of CY X Coordinate or POUNDS
X Coordinate as appropriate. The columns marked  CY CORD and LB CORD are
the coordinates of a point on a map.  They represent the distance south or west
of base lines expressed  in feet x 1000.

                             Program F was run for the total of each site and
the total of all sites for  all days.   These programs are shown in Exhibit 2-26
through 2-32.

                      h.      Computer Program G - Centroids of Refuse by
Material Classification Sorted by a Time Line into Two Sanitary Landfill Zones.
This program is the same as Program F except the  loads were sorted into two
zones  as described in Part IV, Section 1-2.   The information is the same and

                                    2-34

-------
in the same units as in Program F but the quantities are for each of two sanitary
landfill sites instead of for a site or for  all sites.

                             With all loads combined in one deck,  the coordi-
nates for  each load were compared to the coordinates of a line which was drawn
through the StudyArea.   The line represented the locus of points, each of which
was  an equal driving time from the two future landfill site areas  or zones.

                             The  computer sorted each load into the  zone in
which it was located.  The program was then run exactly as Program F.  The
results represent the  loads in each of the two zones and indicated tke centroids
and quantity of material which could be expected to be received at each of the
two sites.

                             The  computer runs are shown in Exhibit 2-33 and
2-34.

                      i.      Computer Program H - Quantities of Refuse by
Political Subdivision.  This program determined the cubic yards  and pounds,
and percent cubic yards and pounds on an as received basis  for each political
(governmental)  subdivision found in columns 46 and 47  of the survey form.  The
code is explained in the  Appendix Exhibit 2-35.

                      j       Computer Program I - Quantities of Refuse by
County Vehicle  Registrations.  This program determined the cubic yards and
pounds, and percent cubic  yards and pounds on an as received basis for each
county vehicle registration code found  in columns 12 and 13  of the survey form.
The  codes are identified  in Section G-1 ,  Table 2-8.

       F.      Volume,  Weight and Vehicle Analysis

               1.      General.  Computer programs A through D are the princi-
pal source of information concerning volumes and weights of waste material.
They indicate when and by  whom the materials were delivered, other informa-
tion  concerning vehicle types and the relative amount of material disposed of
at the several landfill sites surveyed.  This information will be of value in
making detailed plans for operation of  the two new sanitary landfill sites rec-
ommended in Part Four of this report.  Much of this information was used in
developing the recommendations and preliminary planning shown in Part Four.

                      The following explanations show what are believed to be
the items of greatest significance concerning  the study area.

               2.      Comparing the Several  Sites for Waste Quantities and
Vehicular Traffic.   Figure 2-5 shows the percentage by volume and weight of
material, and vehicular traffic at each of the  six major landfill sites surveyed.
This information was  taken from the summary of all days for each site, as re-
ceived.  This figure graphically illustrates that most of the material is being
brought to the two Des Moines sites.

-------
                      The Des Moines Site No. 2 has a higher  tonnage than Site
 No.  1.  This is explained in the fact that this site receives the heavy building
 demolition material and the logs from the Dutch Elm removal program.  Site
 No.  1 has large quantities of paper which accounts for the high volume and low
 weight.

                      The Euclid Avenue Site has a higher vehicle count than
 one would expect with the relatively low quantities.   This is due to a large num-
 ber of automobiles which use this site.   Each automobile brings only a small
 load.

                      Reasons for any unusual pattern can be found by examining
 the detailed computer programs.

               3.      Comparing the Several Vehicle Types for Waste Quantities
 and Vehicular  Traffic.  Figure 2-6 shows the percentage by volume and weight
 of materials,  and vehicular traffic for the nine different types  of vehicles.  It
 might be  expected that most of the material going to a landfill site would be
 brought in packer trucks hauling waste from the  residential dwellings in the
 community.  This is incorrect.   Such waste is a major category and a signifi-
 cant quantity as shown in the figure, but the other waste in the community far
 exceed the domestic waste.  The largest volume is brought in flat bed trucks;
 principally Dutch Elm tree waste.  They also carry  the second highest percent-
 age of the tonnage although they do not represent a large traffic count.

                      The highest tonnage is brought in dump trucks.  Approxi-
 mately 12% of  all tonnage was comprised of dirt,  sand and rock.   These materi-
 als are normally transported in dump trucks.  They also represented a low traf-
 fic count.

                      The largest traffic is in pick-up trucks and  automobiles.
 These vehicles bring a negligable tonnage and  only a medium volume.  This vol-
 ume is "as received" and usually very loose.

                      The automobile is a high traffic and low quantity category.
 In another section, it is recommended that the automobile be excluded from the
 main landfill areas.  They add to the traffic but deposit only a small amount of
 material.  The recommendation suggests that automobiles be given a free and
 highly accessible special place to deposit their material near the entrance to
 the landfill site.

               4.      Comparing the Several Hauler Types for Waste Quantities
and Vehicular  Traffic.  Figure 2-7 shows the percentage by volume and weight
of materials, and vehicular traffic for the eleven different types of haulers.   In
this figure the  largest volume appears in the Private Commercial Type G.  This
includes  the haulers with Dutch Elm tree disease wastes, which has a major in-
fluence on the  category.

                     Again,  the automobile appears as  the high traffic and low
quantity category.

              5.     Comparing the Seven Days of the Week for Waste Quanti-
ties and Vehicular Traffic.   Figure 2-8 shows that the quantities and traffic are
reasonably uniform from Monday through Friday with Monday being slightly
greater.   Saturday shows a reduced volume and tonnage  but increased vehicular
count.  This  can be explained by the reduced commercial, industrial and muni-
cipal activity and an increase in personal hauling. Reference to the detailed data
shows  that a  high percentage of the Saturday and Sunday  traffic is automobiles.

                     The recommendations for operation of new landfill sites
include closing the new site on Sunday; however,  the  special facilities tor auto-
mobiles can  be left open to the public  on Sunday.

              6.     Comparing the Hours  of the Day ior Waste Quantities and
Vehicular Traffic.  Figure 2-9  shows that the peak hour ior volume, tonnage
and vehicle count is 1500 hours (3:00 P. M. ).   The second highest peak is  1100
hours.

                     The quantity and traffic are low prior to 0800 and after
1800 hours.  Some of the sites are not open before 0800  and close before 1800
hours; however,  this chart indicates no large demand for service during these
late hours

                     Notice there is  no large backlog waiting at 0800.  If there
was such a backlog tnere probably would be a dropback between 0700 and 0800
or 0800 and 0900.  Instead there is a continuing increase until 0900 before the
rate slackens, but even then continues to increase.  Similarly the rate begins to
slacken at the peak of 1500 and  continues down through the 2000 hours.

                     Our recommended hours for landfill sites are from 0800
to 1700 hours.   Special arrangements can be made for haulers inconvenienced
by this schedule  similar to the arrangements now in existence at several sites.

              7.     Comparing the Hours  of the Day and the Vehicular Count
for the Several Types of Vehicles.  Figure 2-10 shows the traffic pattern
throughout the day by vehicle type.

                     With the exception of the packer trucks,  most vehicle pat-
terns are  typical.  There is  a gradual buildup,  a relatively constant rate and
gradual reduction.  The peak for packer trucks  can be explained by the fact that
most city  packers take  their last load to the site at approximately 1500 hours
(3:00 P.M. ).

              8.     Comparing the Various Material Classifications,  one with
another for Volume and Weight.  Exhibits 2-19 thru  2-25 show the volumes,
weights and percentage for each material classification.  The first six exhibits
are for one site each, the seventh, Exhibit 2-25, is  lor all sites, all days.  The
key to  the material classifications numbering system is  shown in Table 2-7.

       G.     Origin of Landfill Wastes

              1.      Centroids.   Computer Program G determined the centroid of
waste for each material classification,  the  sum of all days for each site and for
all days at all sites.  The centroid is the theoretical point from which the materi-
al originated.  These centroid are platted on the map in Figure  4-1.  The  cen-
troid for the sum of all days and all  sites, which includes all material brought to
the  six sites surveyed, was found  to be located near  the intersection of Seventh
Street and Laurel Ave.

              2.      Vehicle License Registration.  Computer Program I  deter-
mined the amount of material brought to the sites surveyed, according  to the
county in which  each vehicle was licensed.  This information is shown in Table
2-8.  Approximately 97% of the volume and 95% of the tonnage was  delivered to
the  site in vehicles registered in Polk County.   The next largest amount was
Warren County  registered vehicles with . 8% and 2. 8% respectively.

              3.      Political Subdivision  as Origins of Waste.  Computer  Pro-
gram G determined the political subdivision from which each load originated as
determined by the coordinates representing the address of origin recorded  dur-
ing  the site surveys.  This information is shown in Table  2-9-

H. Present Quantities
               1.      General.  The present quantities of solid waste  consist
of those materials now being disposed of at public landfill sites which  were
measured during the landfill surveys,  and those materials being accumulated
or disposed of at the source.  The latter quantities are referred to as "on site"
disposal materials.

                      In Table 2-10 "Annual Quantities and Accumulations of
Refuse  for Study Area, Adjusted for Compaction and Seasonal Variations",  the
materials measured at public landfill sites are shown in line a.  The on site
disposal has been evaluated and those materials which will probably be disposed
of at public facilities in the  future are shown in line b. The sum  of lines a and
b represent the 1967 estimated annual rate of disposal of materials which can
be expected to be  disposed of at public landfill sites.  The volumes are ad-
justed for seasonal variations and compaction factors and are equal to the vol-
ume of  material compacted  in place in a sanitary landfill.  Cover earth is not
included.   The tonnage has been adjusted for seasonal variation.

                      In this table, all of the waste  for the study  area has been
placed in one  of four categories:  Municipal Wastes,  Domestic Wastes, Special
Tree  Wastes, and  Commercial and Industrial Wastes.  This was  done  to facili-
tate future projection which are discussed in Paragraph I.

               2.      Municipal Wastes.  The  wastes included in this category
are those which vary directly with the size of the city and the  number of people,
and are not likely to have a  per capita increase.  People  waste materials at an
increasing rate per person;  however,  the materials which are included in this
category are likely to increase at a straight line rate  in direct proportion to
the population.

                      Included in the Municipal Waste category are the materi-
als shown in Table 2-11.   Part A is  the total material as measured during the
landfill surveys less the special tree waste.  Part B is the additional material
now being disposed of on-site which  should be included in the tota 1 materials to
be expected at a public sanitary  landfill facility.

               3.      Domestic Waste.   The waste in this category includes
garbage, rubbish and yard waste from the dwellings in the Study Area.  These
wastes are shown in Table Z-1Q.  The quantities measured at the landfill  site
were  173,000 cubic yards or 59,000 tons.  The on  ~lte disposal estimates were
80,000 cubic yards or 15, 000 tons,  for a total  1967 disposal rate  of 253,000
cubic yards or 74,000 tons.   These quantities were previously explained in
Section C of this Part.

               4.      Special Tree Waste.  The Dutch Elm disease has killed
many American Elm trees in the Study Area and will probably continue until
most  of the remainder have  been killed.  The quantities of waste  wood which are
the result, are developed and discussed in Section D  of this Part.

                      Special Tree  Waste was considered a separate category
in Table 2-10 because of the  large quantities involved and because the  quantities
will last for a relatively few  years.  It is estimated that almost all of the Ameri-
can Elm trees will be  killed by 1970 and that because  of the hazard of standing
dead trees, most of them will have been disposed of by 1973.

                      Special tree waste and normal  tree waste were not  con-
sidered separately during the landfill surveys.  The total tree wastes were;
however, measured.  From  the special tree  waste study.it is estimated that
94, 300 tons or 165, 000 cubic yards were hauled to  landfill sites in 1967.  This
quantity was  subtracted  from the total tree waste as measured at landfill  sites
during surveys to determine  the amount of normal tree waste to be included in
the Municipal Waste Category.  It  was also  estimated that 92, 000  tons or
lo,200CY of this special tree waste was burned on site.   The amount of materi-
al measured  at the landfill sites and the amount of material burned on  site equal
a total of 103, 500 tons or 181, 200  cubic yards.

               5.      Commercial and Industrial Waste.  This  category of
waste includes all waste not  included in the  previous  three categories of:  Muni-
cipal,  Domestic and Special Tree Wastes.   The quantities are shown in Table 2-12.

                      That  portion of the total measured during the landfill sur-
veys is shown in line C.

                      In the Commercial and Industrial Surveys described in
Section B of this Part, it was estimated that the 1967  on  site disposal  which
can be expected to be sent to public facilities was equal to 9% of the present
quantities which were  being  disposed of at public facilities.  These quantities
are shown in line D.  The on site disposal of meat packing waste as discussed
in Section D of Part Two must also be added to the  on  site total.   These are
shown in line  D.

                      The Total Commercial and Industrial Waste for 1967 was
346,900  CY or 173,000 Tons.

                      The sum of the wastes by major categories is shown in
Table 2-3.  This represents the total solid waste of the community which can
be expected to be disposed of at public facilities,  at the 1967 rate.

                      The total quantities are 1,016,000 cubic yards adjusted
for compaction and seasonal variation or 562,000 tons adjusted for seasonal
variation.

       I.      Future Quantities
               1.      General.   Future quantities are estimated based on annual
increases in the present quantities.  The major categories of present waste and
the annual estimated increase are as follows:
                                    2-42
    453-956 O - 72 - 7

                     Municipal         -        2%
                     Residential        -        4%
                     Special Trees      -        Fixed Quantity
                     Commercial &
                     Industrial         -        4%

                     The annual quantities and accumulated quantities of waste
for 1967 through 1990 are  shown in Table 2-10.

              2.     Municipal Wastes.  The wastes in this category are those
which vary directly as the size  of the community,  which is estimated to vary
directly with the population.   Therefore, the increase in this category is esti-
mated to be 2% per year which is the same as  the annual increase  in population.

              3.     Residential Waste.  Residential wastes will increase di-
rectly as the population increases plus an annual increase in the per capita  rate
of waste.  There are various estimates  which  predict the rate of increase in per
capita waste generation.  One such prediction  estimates the per capita waste
will increase 50% from I960 to  1985.  This is  approximately equal to 2% per
year.

                     Long term data are  difficult to find and when found are
difficult to use,  because the  conditions  under which the  data were  collected, and
exactly what is included is usually unknown. Two percent per year increase
appears reasonable; therefore,we have used this  rate.

                     The total increase in annual quantities for residential
waste is 2% for  population increase  and  2% for the per  capita rate increase for
a total of 4% per year.

              4.     Special Tree Waste.  In the special study of tree waste
in Part Two, Section D, it was  estimated that  236, 000  trees would be removed
in the five years after  1967.   These trees  contained  186,000 tons or 1,520,000
CY of waste.  We have arbitrarily estimated that the annual rate of removal
would be equal to 20% of the  total each year for 5 years.  On that basis for  each
year from  1968  through 1972 we have included 304,000 cubic yards and 174,000
tons.

              5.     Commercial and Industrial Waste.  We have estimated these
wastes  will increase at a rate which is  equal to 4% per year.  This is the same
rate of increase and is  based on the same  reasoning given in the preceding
paragraph concerning Domestic Waste.

              6.     Total  Waste.  The total  wastes for future years  are
shown from the  present through 1990, in Table 2-10.

PART THREE - COLLECTION OF SOLID WASTES

       A.      General.   Solid waste collection is a responsibility of trje public,
along with •water supply,  sewage disposal,  streets, fire and police protection.
These services are usually provided by local government,  and paid for through
taxation or 3. service charge.  It is  recognized that a government can provide
these services for  the public more efficiently and economically than the indi-
vidual.  This  part of the report is concerned with collection service as a ne-
cessary and desirable element of the community welfare.   This service should
be as adequate and economical as possible, consistent with current health and
aesthetic  standards.

       B.      Basic  Collection Systems

               1.    General.  Providing collection service to the domestic
customer is the basic consideration.  With a Study Area population of approxi-
mately 288, 000 people, it is  estimated that there are  approximately 90, 000
dwelling units.  Each dwelling unit will generate small and reasonably uniform
quantities of waste each day, week and year.

                     Three types  of collection systems are presently in use in
the Study  Area; municipal,  contract and private.  The three largest cities in
the Study  Area:  Des Moines, West Des Moines  and Urbandale operate with
the municipal system.  Pleasant Hill provides a contract system.   The other
cities in the area do not provide a direct service, but rely on  private system
collection service.

               2.    Municipal and Contract Systems.   The municipal and con-
tract systems mentioned  are similar.  Both are under the  control of the munici-
pality.  They  operate on established routes serving the entire residential areas
on a scheduled basis.  Under these  systems the community receives regular
collection of its domestic -waste.  The system is planned, organized and super-
vised by the municipal government.  The results are an efficient collection ser-
vice at a reasonable cost to  the community.

                    The  basic difference between the two systems is that the
municipal system operates the service using its own manpower, equipment and
facilities, whereas the contract system uses the manpower,  equipment and
facilities  of a private contractor to  operate the  system under an agreement be-
tween the contractor  and  the  municipality.

                    The  municipality capable of operating its own system effi-
ciently, usually has a lower unit collection cost than the community contracting
with private haulers.  The municipality can operate the  system without a re-
quired profit whereas the private contractor cannot.   There are other  cost fac-
tors in favor of a system owned and operated by a municipal government.  Tax
savings in the purchase of equipment and supplies arid in the operational cost
of equipment,  lower collection costs. A municipally controlled collection sys-
tem, properly planned and supervised, will provide satisfactory service lo


                                       3-1

-------
the public, whether the system is municipally owned or contracted with a pri-
vate hauler.  The cost to the public  is the principal consideration.

               3.     Private System.   With a private  system the municipality
has a minimum involvement with the collection of waste,  limited to controlling
ordinances and the licensing of collectors.   Some communities do not require
either of these items.  Private collectors contract directly with the property
owner for an agreed fee.

                     When collections  are left entirely to an agreement between
the property owner and the private  hauler,  the service is generally not as effi-
cient as the other systems.  The private system places the responsibility for
the collection of waste with the individual property owner who may, or may not
have a conscientious concern for the problem.  Usually several private haulers
will compete within a community to provide service.  This competition will tend
to keep the charges uniform; however  it will prevent any one private collector
from establishing an efficient route where he can collect from each property
in a given area.   As a result,  the  cost to the  individual  is usually higher than
either the municipal or the contract system.   A comparison of costs within  the
Study Area shows this to be true.

               4.     Recommended System.  It is  recommended that a municipal
type  system be provided for all communities in the Study Area.  The form of
municipal system recommended in the following sections of this report is a new
Metropolitan Solid Waste  Agency providing collection service to all municipalities
in the Study Area using the manpower, equipment and facilities of  the Agency.

        C.     Scope of  Collection  Service

               1.     General.   The scope of collection service concerns:  (1)
the customers to  be served,  (2) the nature of materials to be collected,  (3)  the
frequency of collection, and (4) the point of collection.

                     Basically it is recommended that:  (1) service be  provided
to all single family residences and certain multiple family dwelling units; (2) all
domestic solid waste be collected from these customers; (3) service be offered
on a weekly basis;  (4) crews  collect waste from the place of normal storage
of the containers  on the customers' premises.  These recommendations are
discussed in the following paragraphs.

               2.     Customers to  be  Served. It is recommended that service
be provided  to all  single family dwellings and small multiple family dwellings
only. Commercial and industrial waste generally require special  collection
service.  This waste varies considerably in quantity and  characteristics.
Private haulers have satisfactorily provided this service in the past and are
equipped to do  so in the future. However, in the future,  when the Agency has
been established and has  acquired  the necessary operating  skills and manage-
ment techniques, the municipalities may wish to consider this service.  For
the immediate  future, it is recommended that private contractors  continue
to provide commercial and industrial  service.

                                        3-2

-------
                    The recommended collection from single family resi-
dences and small multiple family dwellings only, was arrived at arbitrarily.
The single family residence must be included and represents the largest
number of customers. A duplex, fourplex or sixplex,  although not as  nu-
merous, require similar  collection service.  Jwi'-y multiple family dwellings
larger than  sixplexes do not have adequate storage space when service is
offered on a once-a-week basis.  Also, many do not -want to be burdened -with
the many refuse cans required for municipal service which does not offer
container service.   Thus ma /large units  shun public collection and hire
private collectors to provide more frequent and/or container service.

                    It is  not a matter of receiving free  service.  In a later
section of this report, it is recommended that the municipalities charge a fee
for collection service from those being served.  It is basically a matter of •who
can be served in the most  efficient manner along with the single family resi-
dence which represents the fundamental reason for a municipal collection ser-
vice.

                    Some municipalities do  provide complete collection ser-
vice to any customer who •wants the service and is willing to pay a proper fee.
However, the task of forming and operating an efficient  residential type  ser-
vice for the Study Area, which is a necessity,  is a large undertaking for the
present.  In the future, the Agency when fully operational,  may wish to expand
service to include more than -what is recommended at this time.

              3.    Material to be Collected.   It is recommended that  all  do-
mestic solid waste be collected subject to certain limitations. This includes
all household and yard -waste placed in approved containers  regardless of the
quantity.

                     The present practice throughout the Study Area is to col-
lect kitchen -waste only.  This is an old custom which has been abandoned in
many communities.   This  is  practical only because combustible rubbish is
burned on site,  usually in back yard burning barrels. This  burning is no
longer acceptable in many parts of the country and is often forbidden by  or-
dinance.  It is recommended that it be prohibited in the Study Area in a
model disposal ordinance included in  Appendix Exhibit 5-2.

                    Burning barrels  and inadequate commercial incinerators
are a source of  smoke, odor and air pollution and often  a breeding place for
rats and insects.  They are  not restricted  to combustibles  such as paper and
cardboard but are often fed anything which is not carried away -with the kitchen
-waste collection.  There is ample evidence of this through  observation of the
burned residue in and around these burning devices.

                    The incidence  of fires  provide another reason to stop
this practice.   In the years  1966 through May of 1967, the  Des Moines Fire
Department fought more than 1900 fires which were directly attributed to
burning rubbish. The property damage  amounted to $103,000 plus  the cost
of fire fighting.   The potential loss could be  considerably greater. There is

                                     3-3

-------
no estimate of the injuries  sustained each year but one can believe it is
significant.

                    There  appears to be no reason to allow open burning
and inadequate  incinerators, once all of the waste from residences is col-
lected along with kitchen waste.

                    It is estimated that the additional cost of collecting all
domestic waste rather than kitchen waste alone, will increase the cost of
collection by approximately one-sixth.   However,  it is believed that improve-
ments in the efficiency of the existing service will result in this  cost being
absorbed into the existing budget with no increase in funds.

               4.    Frequency of  Collection Service.   It is recommended
that the frequency of the collection service should be one collection each
week  on a five  day week schedule.   This system will provide the Study Area
with regular collections with approximately 20% of the area collected each
day on a Monday through Friday schedule utilizing the 8 hour  work day.  This
type of  schedule is presently employed by most of the  collection services in
the area.   It appears to be  acceptable to the householders.  Approximately
one-half of the communities in the Nation with populations in  excess of 5, 000
provide this level of service.

                    In some areas of the country this frequency of service
is considered insufficient because  of health hazards caused by flies and other
insects. It is believed that this problem can be kept at a minimum with a
strong program of public education regarding the sanitation requirements for
containers and household storage areas. Such a program should be  under-
taken regardless of the frequency of collections.  The cost of  a successful
program would be much less to the community than the  cost of additional
collections.

                    Several studies have been conducted concerning  the in-
sect and fly breeding problem.  Most of these  studies have concluded  that
the garbage container,  and the immediate adjacent storage area is responsi-
ble for  the majority of  the large accumulations of larvae and  pupae life of
the fly, and that this general unsanitary condition has  great bearing on the
overall problem.

                    Proper containers and lids,  the cleaning of such con-
tainers and the housekeeping of the container  storage area, are  reasonable
requirements to place upon the public.  These requirements can be made
known to the public  by printed instructions  along with a public relations
program for the entire collection and disposal service.   (See Figure  3-1).

                    It  is possible  that a twice weekly collection service
could be desired and necessary during the  summer months if an effective
education and enforcement  program is not  conducted.  This service could
be coordinated with the once per week schedule during the remaining part


                                     3-4

The elimination of burning barrels and the enforce-




ment of reasonable container standards, together




with a proper public relations and education program




encouraging community clean-up participation,  will




produce important health and aesthetic dividends for




all, as indicated  by these picture comparisons.

of the year.  The change  from a once to twice per week collection and the
return, represent a major change in routes, crews  and equipment.  How-
ever, it can be accomplished and is in many parts of the country.   This
would require an increase in the collection cost but  not to the extent that
a full year, twice weekly service would require.

               5.    Point of Collection.    It is recommended that the pre-
sent method of collecting from the waste storage areas behind the custo-
mer's dwellings be retained.  Collectors convey the waste from the storage
area to the vehicle by means of a large capacity, lightweight tote container.
This method usually requires only a single trip onto the dwelling premises,
and often more than one dwelling can be collected before returning to the
vehicle.

                    There are several other methods used throughout the
country other than  the one recommended.  The  most common is the "custo-
mer set out and set back" method in which the  customer  places his contain-
ers at the curb or alley line on the scheduled day for collection. The collec-
tion cr_, rj dump the containers directly into the truck and return  the con-
tainer to the curb or alley line,  for the customer to return to the place of
normal storage.

                    This method is less expensive  when considering only
the collection crew  cost.   However,  the expense and annoyance to each cus-
tomer must be considered and is sufficient to make  this method unattrac-
tive.  The  app>-_. -   -  ^1 rows of waste containers  lining the streets and the
litter caused by wind, spillage and animals  are additional disadvantages.

                    The  current method of collecting from the customer's
point of storage is  believed  proper and is recommended to be continued.

       D.      Description of Existing Collection Systems

               1.    General.  There are three collection systems operated
by municipalities in the Study Area;  Des  Moines, West Des Moines and
Urbandale.  All three use their own manpower and equipment to collect
domestic kitchen waste from the  dwellings within their city limits.  Each
of the three systems is described in the following paragraphs for the pur-
pose  of showing their  present status.

                    It has been recommended that a new Agency be created
for future collection of solid waste in the Study Area.  However,  it is im-
portant to improve the existing systems to realize  savings and improved
services prior to the creation of the new Agency, and to bring to this Agency
nr>re efficient organizations.

                    The  three  systems are not directly comparable nor
can they be organized, managed or operated in the  same way. The City of
Des Moines is much larger  with many crews and trucks.  Its organizational
                                    3-5

structure must be more extensive than those of West Des Moines and Ur-
bandale  who operate a two crew and one crew system  respectively.  The
descriptions and analysis which follow deal primarily with Des Moines,
with a separate  analysis of the other two systems.

              2.    Description of Des Moines System.

                    a.   Organization,  Administration and Personnel.
Garbage collection is an activity of the Garbage and Street Cleaning Divi-
sion, organized under the Public Works Department, and financed from  the
Sanitation Fund.  This Division is under the administration of the  Superin-
tendent of Garbage and Street Cleaning Division and under the supervision
of the Garbage Collection Supervisor.

                         The equipment used by the crews is under the
control of the supervisor, but is provided and maintained by the Equipment
Service Center referred to as "Central Garage" which is  also under the
Public Works Department.  The  personnel regularly employed in this sys-
tem are  as follows:

                          The employees work 8 hours per day,  5 days
per week, 2, 080 hours per year, with normal vacation, sick leave, holi-
days and similar benefits usually found in city employment.  Compensa-
tion for overtime is granted for work in excess of 8 hours per day, 40
hours per •week and Saturdays after  holidays, at the rate of one and one-
half hours off for each hour worked  during the overtime situation; two
hours off per hour worked on Sundays and three hours  off per hour worked
on holidays.

                          The normal work week is between 7:00 A.  M.
and 3:30 P.  M. , Monday through Friday.  This schedule is  interrupted
when the temperature is below zero degrees, except when the schedule is
two days behind; or when rain is encountered, and under other inclement
weather conditions  as directed by  the Superintendent.

                          There are no uniforms, protective clothing or
gloves issued to the employees. There are no lockers  or clean-up facilities
available.   The employees are represented by a union.

                    b.    Operations.  Domestic kitchen waste is collected
once a week from the dwellings within the city limits.  Collection does not in-
clude trash or rubbish.  Service is not provided to industrial or commercial
establishments.   Occasionally during spring clean-up campaigns the City
provides collection of all waste.

                          Crews operating from streets  or alleys empty
customers' containers into tote baskets which they carry to the truck.   With
certain limitations,  customers may keep their containers at locations most
convenient for themselves.  There are prescribed regulations concerning the
waste to be collected, wrapping  and draining waste and type of container.

                          The City is divided into 27 collection routes.  Each
route is divided into approximately 5  equal days work,  one  day each on Mon-
day through Friday. There are exceptions  in many cases; however, most ex-
ceptions involve the Friday work where no Friday is scheduled in some routes,
or where  scheduled,  may be less than a day's work.  It is intended to  use
the Friday short routes  to collect any problem areas which may have developed
in the week's work.

                          The exact current boundaries of each route are not
recorded  on maps. The  areas,  however, are known to the crew involved,
some other crews, the area foreman  and the Supervisor.   The exact path to
be driven is left to the option of the driver.  This path is not recorded and
may vary under normal  operations.

                          Crews consisting of a driver and two collectors
start work at 7:00 A. M.  at the garbage  collection office.  They are expected
to collect their day's assignment and  if completed early,  report for addi-
tional assignment to assist routes which are behind or give additional col-
lections to areas  previously collected as time permits. The driver nor-
mally collects waste in  addition to his driving duties.  Collectors are allowed
to drive the truck when  on the route.  Only the driver is allowed to drive when
off the  route.

                          The three foremen,  each equipped with a two-way
radio between their automobile and the department office, direct the activi-
ties of  the crews.  The  crews are permitted a 15 minute break in the morn-
ing and in the afternoon. They are also allotted a 30 minute lunch period.

                          Crews make one or  more trips from their routes
to the landfill site as required.  After their last load,  the crews return to
the Central Garage where they fuel and park their vehicles.   Each driver
is required to submit a  daily report form recording his activity, time,
miles,  crew members and collected quantities.

                          There are  no formal programs for health and
safety, driver or collector training,   or customer relationship.  No written
"standard operating procedures" could be found.  The department has many

                                   3-7

-------
procedures which are established and generally followed through custom.
It is on the basis of these procedures that the department operates.

                    c.     Equipment.  Supervisory personnel, including
the foremen, are equipped •with late model sedan automobiles  each with two-
way radio communication.   The collection crews use single axle, gasoline
powered trucks with hydraulic packer type bodies, each with a capacity of
16 cubic yards.   There are 31 trucks of this type  in the current fleet.  It is
the policy of the department to amortize the  trucks over  a 6-year period
and replace them with new equipment at the  end of the six-years.  Basically,
5 new units are purchased each year.   The 10 packer bodies purchased in the
last two years have been of the hydraulic pushout type.  Previous models
were of the hydraulic dump type.

                          Equipment is maintained and repaired by  the Cen-
tral Garage.   Garage personnel have custody of the vehicles and issue keys
to the drivers each morning and receive the keys back each afternoon.   The
fleet of 31 packer trucks is adequate to accomplish the collection. Twenty-
seven vehicles are used for the 27 routes. Four of the  oldest vehicles are
used as spares.

                          One additional truck is included in the collection
fleet.  This truck is equipped with a container hoisting mechanism, and used
from time to time during  the week to collect from a few apartments  and
from the Central Garage.

                          The equipment used by the garbage collection de-
partment is purchased from budgeted sums when first needed.   The  equip-
ment is amortized over a prescribed period. The cost  of maintenance,  re-
pair and amortization is calculated into a  rental rate. The garbage depart-
ment budget is charged a  rental rate •which is credited  to the Central Garage
Fund.  Replacement equipment is purchased  from amortization accruals in
the Garage Fund.

                          The cost of maintaining each vehicle is charged
to that particular vehicle.  This information  is maintained for  the garage
by the  Finance Department.  Rental rates are established and are the same
for all equipment of a like kind.  These rates are based on the costs of
similar equipment for the complete year preceding the year in which the
budget is made.   The Garbage Department is responsible for the cleanli-
ness and sanitary conditions of the vehicles.

                          There is no  formal direct liasion between the
Central Garage activity and the Garbage Collection Department.  There is
no formal procedure for determining causes of reoccurring equipment
breakdowns except for accidents which are investigated through the police.
There  is no formal instruction from the Central Garage in the  operation of
trucks or packers.

-------
                    d.    Costs.  The revised budget for the 1967 calendar
year was $673, 434.  Based on a population of 208, 000 people,  the cost per
capita was $3. 24 per year.  Using 3. 0 people per dwelling unit,  the cost per
dwelling unit is $9. 72  per year.    All funds budgeted for this service are
provided from  property taxes.  There are no  special fees or other income.

               3.    Description of the West Des Moines System

                    a.    Organization, Administration and Personnel.  Gar-
bage collection is the  responsibility of the Director  of Public Works under the
overall direction of the City Manager. The system is small and  does not re-
quire a detailed chain of command. The work is personally known to the Di-
rector  of Public Works who takes  an  active part in  conducting the affairs of
the collection department.  A general foreman is available for daily supervision
and the follow-up of complaints and special problems.

                          There are  six full time employees engaged in collec-
tion work plus  the foreman who devotes part of his time to this activity.  When
necessary,  extra personnel or  substitute personnel are supplied from the street
department.  The employees work 8 hours per day,  40 hours per week,  2,080
hours per year with normal vacation,  sick leave,  holidays and similar benefits
usually found in city employment.  Compensation for overtime is on the  basis  of
time and one-half and  double  time on Sundays.   The  crews are allowed to discon-
tinue  collection during inclement weather at their discretion.  They are required
to make up lost time at standard pay  rate.

                          The  employees are issued uniforms,  coveralls and
gloves for winter use.  Rain suits, lockers and clean-up facilities are available.
The employees are not represented by a union.

                    b.    Operations.  Domestic kitchen waste  is collected
once a week from the  dwellings within the city limits.  Collection does not in-
clude trash or  rubbish. Service is not provided to industrial or  commercial
establishments.  Occasional clean-up campaigns are conducted during -which
all waste  is collected.

                          Crews operate from the streets and alleys collecting
from the containers stored on the  customers' premises.  There  are prescribed
regulations for containers and the waste to be collected.

                           The  City is divided into ten areas, each representing
approximately one day's work for  a collection crew.   Two crews of 3 men each
collect the ten routes  in five working  days,  Monday through  Friday.  The dri-
ver collects waste in addition to his driving duties.

                    c.    Equipment.  The two collection crews use single  axle
gasoline powered trucks with hydraulic packer bodies.  The two trucks  in active
service have late model,  16  C. Y.  capacity,  push-out type bodies.  There is a
                                       3-9

-------
spare truck with a 13 C. Y.  side loading, dump type body which is adequate for
standby service. It is the policy of the department to amortize the truck chas-
sis on a 5-year  basis and the packer body in 8 years.  Maintenance is provided
by City forces at the City shop.

                    d.     Costs.   The cost of operation as determined by the
City includes part lump  sum appropriations and part annual costs for the trucks.
These figures have been adjusted to place them on an annual basis.  A figure of
$3, 000 per year per vehicle has been used as the total cost of owning and operat-
ing the trucks.  Reconstructed personnel costs including certain  overhead ex-
penses, are as follows:  Personnel at $437 per month plus 18% for payroll ex-
pense plus 8. 3% for vacations, sick leave and holidays.  New wage rate; $558
per month and for six men is equal to $40, ZOO per year.  To this  10% has been
added for direct supervision for a total personnel cost of $44, ZOO.

                          The cost of operating the collection system for West
Des Moines is approximately as follows:

                          Personnel              $44,200
                          Trucks, 2 @ $3,000      6,000
                          Supplies                   300
                          Uniforms                 1, OOP

                          Total Cost             $51, 500

                          Based on a population of 14, 000 people, the cost per
capita is $3. 68 per year.  Assuming 3. 5 people per dwelling unit, the cost per
dwelling  unit is  $1Z. 88 per  year.  All funds budgeted for this service are pro-
vided from property taxes.  There  are no special fees or other income.

              4.    Description of the Urbandale System

                    a.     Organization,  Administration and Personnel.  Gar-
bage collection is a  responsibility of the City Engineer who also serves  as Di-
rector of Public Works under the over-all direction  of the  City Manager.

                          The system is very small consisting of one driver
and 3 collectors who work 4 days per week on this activity. The driver acts as
foreman  and receives general supervision from the City Engineer.

                          The employees work  10 hours per day, 4 days per
week, plus 2 hours on the 5th day for equipment cleanup, and receive the nor-
mal vacation, sick leave, holidays and similar benefits usually found in City
employment.  Compensation for overtime is on the basis of time off or pay
at straight time. Crews are allowed to  discontinue collection during inclement
weather at the discretion of the foreman with the approval  of the  City Engineer.
Lost time is made up at a standard pay rate.    The employees are furnished
uniforms  and coveralls.  The employees are not represented by a  union.
                                      3-10

-------
                    b.     Operations.  Domestic kitchen waste is collected once
a week from the dwellings within the City limits.  There is no collection of trash
or rubbish.  Service is not provided to industrial or commercial  establishments.
Semi-annual clean-up campaigns are conducted during which all waste is collec-
ted.

                          Crews operating from  streets collect waste from cans
stored on the customers'  premises.  There are prescribed regulations for con-
tainers and  the waste to be collected.

                          The City is divided into 4 routes;  one  is collected
each day Monday through  Thursday.

                          The crew consists of the driver and three collectors.
The driver helps pick up waste; however the truck is not left unattended.  Of the
4 man crew only 3 collect at any one time.

                    c.     Equipment.   The one collection crew uses a late
model3 single axle,  gasoline powered truck with a 16  C. Y. hydraulic push-out
type body.  A standby truck is available from a local dealer -when required.

                    d.     Costs.   Truck depreciation has been estimated at
$1600 per year.   Wage  rates are reported on the basis of hourly  rates.  To
these rates  18% has been added for payroll expense and 8. 3% for  vacation,
sick leave and holidays. The  reestablished  rates are  as follows:  foreman-
driver $3. 95 per hour,  other crew members  $2. 95 per hour.   On the basis of
2, 184 hours per year, the direct personnel cost is $28, 000.  Supervision has
been added at 15% of the direct labor.

                          The cost of operating the collection  system for Ur-
bandale is approximately as  follows:

                          Personnel             $28,000
                          Supervision             4,200
                          Truck & Packer
                           Body Depreciation      1,600
                          Truck & Packer
                           Body Maintenance         500
                          Fuel and Other  Supplies  1,500
                              Total Cost         $35, 800

                          Based on a population of 12,500 people, the cost per
capita is $2. 86 per year.   Assuming 3. 9 people per dwelling unit, the cost per
dwelling  unit is  $11. 15  per year.

                          All funds are budgeted for this service from property
taxes. There are no special fees or other income.

       E.     Analysis and Recommendations for Existing Collection Systems.

              1.    General.   It has been recommended that a  Metropolitan
Solid Waste Agency be formed to collect all domestic waste in the Study Area.
This Agency would integrate into one system the existing collection depart-
ments  of those municipalities who join the Agency and provide service to other
municipalities who join but do not have a system now in operation.

                    The  existing systems have  been analyzed to determine
•where  improvements might be possible and  appropriate, for two reasons:  (1)
There  are potential savings  to be made and improved service to be enjoyed;
and (2) the improved  systems will be more easily integrated into the new com-
bined effort.

                    Comments in this section apply and are based primarily
on the  Des Moines collection department. This department now collects from
75%  of the population that would be  served by the new Agency, and because of
its size has all of the problems, required administration and operation that
would  be found in the new Agency collection system.

                    West Des Moines  and Urbandale may apply  any of the  sug-
gestions which they feel applicable to their collection  services.

              2.    Records.   Paper work in the form of reports and analy-
sis is  a time consuming activity.  The information recorded and analyzed must
have a need and be worth the trouble and expense.  The daily production re-
ports of the Des  Moines system, in use at the time this study was begun, were
found to be entirely inadequate for planning  purposes or as a management tool.
Twenty-five  hundred  of these daily production reports entitled "Garbage -
Daily Report, " were  selected and analyzed by a series of computer programs
to test the value  of the existing data.  The results indicated that much  of the
information was  inaccurately recorded or incomplete.  It was determined that
the report forms were not designed to  provide information necessary to evaluate
the system,  and  that  the use of the forms was not properly understood by the
men and their supervisors.

                    To correct this situation,  a series of reports and work
sheets have been designed and proposed to provide necessary information for
the three levels of management:

                    First Level:        The District Foreman
                    Second  Level:       The Superintendent
                    Third Level:        The City Executives, including the
                                          City  Manager and the Director
                                          of Public Works

                    Basic data is recorded by the route driver on the  "Dri-
vers Daily  Report," which replaces the previously discussed form.   This
form accounts for the crew activity throughout the day, with time and

                                      3-12

-------
distances divided into three activities;  (1) collection,  (2) haul,  (3)  delay.
The driver must make an entry of his mileage reading and the time of day
each time he changes his activity. At the end of the day, he must make an
entry concerning what he collected, and add up the total.  A sample  of this
form and instructions are included in the Appendix as Exhibit 3-1.

                    An  early version of the ''Drivers Daily Report" was de-
signed and proposed for  use in June  1967.  This report was  intended to pro-
duce data that could not  be obtained from the old report forms.   This form was
designed to make the arithmetic and concepts  easy to understand.   The drivers
and supervisors were instructed in its use prior to being placed into service
as a replacement for the Garbage Daily Report.  The information obtained from
this form, although better than that produced in the previous  reports, was  not
considered adequate to obtain the required data  for this study.  The use of this
form did provide the  men with experience in calculating the time spent on
several types of activity and in doing  arithmetic similar to that recommended
in the new Drivers Daily Report.

                     The data derived from the "Drivers  Daily Report" is re-
corded on the "Foreman's Daily Recap Work Sheet. "  There is one  sheet  for
each day of each route within the  foreman's district.  Each day the  foreman
records  the totals from  the "Drivers Daily Report" on the appropriate work
sheet.   If a driver  has indicated on his report that he helped another route
that day,  the time spent on the other route would be recorded on the work
sheet of the route which was helped, but not on the assisting crews  work sheet.
In this way,  the actual work spent on a route can be ascertained. At the end
of a month, the totals are calculated.  Since some months have more days
than others,  the months  totals are reduced to  averages based on the number
of collections made during the month.

                     In order for  the foreman  to determine the total perfor-
mance of his District, the recap work sheets for each route  and each day are
summarized on the "Monthly District Refuse Collection Summary. " This
summary is  coordinated with the  recap work sheets and designed to receive
the totals from each  work sheet.

                     Using  averages per collection allows the foreman to
compare  the collections  each month with other months. A sample of the work
sheet and summary,  with instructions,  are included in the Appendix as Exhi-
bits  3-Z and 3-3.

                     The Superintendent is concerned with all districts.  Totals
taken from the District  Summaries are recorded on the "Monthly Refuse Col-
lection  Summary - All Districts.  "  This is the same data, totals and averages
found on the District Sheets and Foreman's Recaps.  However, at the bottom
of this summary is certain historical data for comparing the current month
to previous months.  This data is available from previous months reporting.  A
sample of this summary report for all Districts is included  in the Appendix
as Exhibit 3-4.

                                     3-13

-------
                    City executives normally are not concerned with the de-
tailed information regarding the performance of various individual routes or
districts. They are concerned with overall performance, and the costs of the
Division.  The "Refuse Collection Report for the Month" is designed to pro-
vide this type of information.

                    Totals and averages from the "Monthly Summary of All
Districts" are reproduced for reference, arm i . «.uditic:i,  total cost and unit cost
figures  are  included.  Normally management will be concerned -with  total cost
and unit costs, but may also wish to study the other items for background to
understand changes appearing in the cost columns.  They may also wish to re-
ceive or refer to the reports  and work sheets leading to the Monthly  Report.
Although designed for  the management level that  normally needs or has the
data, any of the reports  discussed here should be available to any others who
wish to  see  them. It is suggested that the reports summarizing the crew acti-
vities be posted for comparison of performance.

                    In order for the unit costs to be of value for  comparison
purposes, it is necessary to charge for labor and equipment on a monthly or
hourly basis,  rather than on infrequent lump sums. Equipment  is charged as a
rental each  month, based on the number of hours used that month. This is pro-
per and avoids loading any particular  month due to large purchases.  Rental
rates for an hourly or daily use covering purchase, amortization, maintenance;
repair and salvage over  the life of the vehicle provide a true picture of unit
costs which is useful and proper.

                    Labor rates are  not similarly treated.  It is recommended
that current accounting practice be changed to facilitate the use of these  reports.
Under the present practice,  compensatory time is earned  from time to time,
but is charged against the month in which it is taken.  This is also true of va-
cations  and  sick leave.  During the popular vacation months, and during  the
time when casual labor is used, the labor costs appear unusually high.  This
has nothing  to do with the actual labor cost of collecting refuse  from the  com-
munity that  month, but only an accounting procedure causing an apparent rise
in labor costs.

                    Employees actually earn vacation time, sick leave and
holidays as  they -work throughout the year. These credits should be accrued
and charged against the month they were earned, as opposed to the month
expended.  Casual labor should be charged against the month worked.  In this
way, the accounting  procedures will give a true indication of the labor  cost of
work done,  and when it is done.

                    To arrive at a cost of labor  for the Monthly Report, pro-
visions  have been made to compute the cost per production hour,  at the bot-
tom of the report, and to include in this rate the  labor and supervision, plus
accruals and payroll overheads.  A sample of the "Report for the Month" is
included in the Appendix as Exhibit 3-5.

                    Production which is the prirr ary function of the Garbage
Collection Department must have properly managed and audited records to
operate a system of this size  efficiently.  A production system must have the
ability to acquire and use data in its every day operations.

              3.    Routes Followed and Observed.  Basic  data on the per-
formance of collection crews  was obtained by  placing a technician with the
crews  to observe performance and record data.  The technician followed each
crew by automobile during the entire working  day.   The technician's work was
explained to the crew.  The men were  shown the forms to be used to record
data and asked to assist the technican where necessary.  During the coffee
breaks and at lunch, discussion  of the data acquired was  encouraged.

                    On the form shown in the Appendix as Exhibit 3-6, the
technician recorded information concerning the path of movement of the truck,
the side of the street or alley the crew was collecting,  turning movements,
the number of stops the truck made,  the containers emptied and the time re-
quired to collect each block.  They also weighed each load brought to  the land-
fill site.  In addition, the technician recorded time and mileage information
on a Drivers Daily Report. In total, twenty-six full crew days were observed
from which performance data was determined.

              4.    Performance Measured and Analyzed.

                    a.     Collection, Haul and Delay Time.  The time spent by
each crew while being accompanied by  a technician, is shown in  Table 3-1.
Collection time  is time spent while on route collecting waste and driving be-
tween  stops on the  route.  An average of 290 minutes was spent in collection.

                          Haul time is  the time spent driving from the garage
to the  first stop in  the morning,  driving to and from the landfill site and driv-
ing from the  landfill site back to the garage at the end of  the working day.   An
average of 65 minutes 'was  spent in haul.

                          Delay time is the time during the day  not spent in
either  collection or haul.  It includes lunch, rest and coffee breaks, mechani-
cal breakdown,  waiting at landfill site,   spare time at end of day,  meetings,
etc. An average of 155 minutes per day •was spent in delay.

                    b,     Existing Routes Mapped.  Maps were prepared show-
ing how each route was driven according to the usual practice. The base maps
were  prepared by a technician with the aid of the driver and his foreman.
Each  driver was requested to describe how the route was normally driven.
The technician recorded this information which indicated  one  side or two side
collections, all turns and movements,  deadheading, lunch and coffee break
points and other pertinent information.  The paths normally driven were worked
out on the ground without the benefit  of maps.  Numerous examples of unneces-
sary deadheading and side street collection became apparent  by inspection.

                          There are situations that appear to  be complicated
but are actually necessary.  These are caused by one-way streets  and alleys,
median strips and steep hills.

                          Prior to this study, the detailed routes had not been
mapped.  The crews assigned  to the  route  knew them and some crews were  fa-
miliar with more than one route.  Likewise,  the  supervisors were well  ac-
quainted with most of the details of the routes.  However, if necessary to assign
new men to a route, the instructions had to be given verbally or written down.
In the case of the loss of several of the crews, the  replacement problem would
be very difficult.  These maps are available to the  supervisors for reference,
New routes have been laid out  and are  discussed  in a following paragraph.

                          Skill in the use of maps is essential to maintain
route efficiency.  It is  recommended that supervisory personnel be trained
to use map techniques and see that they are used by the crews.

                    c°     Routes as Observed,  Compared to Mapped Routes.
The routes actually driven by each crew,   as recorded by the  technician accom-
panying the crew, were compared to the maps of the  routes as the  driver had
said they were normally driven. Sometimes they followed the routes very
closely.   Frequently they did not.  In most cases the  crew, while being ob-
served,  covered not only the scheduled day's route but parts of other days
as well.   The average production of  all routes followed was 127% of a sche-
duled day's work,  A summary of each collection route is included in the
Appendix  Exhibit 3-7.

                    d.     Analysis of  Routes  Followed.   The  average crew
spent 290 minutes in collection,  65 minutes in haul and 155 minutes in delay
to collect their route,  as shown in Table 3-1.   In addition the average crew
not only finished what had been scheduled as a day's work but also  collected
27% of another day's work.  In doing so they  spent  155 minutes in delays.  It
is apparent that the routes  as now laid out, assigned and  manned,  do not repre-
sent a day's work.

                          If the crews had stopped work  as soon as one day's
work, as assigned, was completed and charged the remaining  time to delay,
the delay would be much larger than it was.  Together, the long delay and
the more than adequate collection time, represent a very significant potential

                                      3-17

-------
saving.   In later  paragraphs, the possible reduction in crews and  equipment
is discussed and  estimated.  It appears that the savings in crews and equipment
should be in the range of approximately one-third.

                          The information from the observations was analyzed
and recorded in the Appendix  Exhibit  3-8, "Collection Survey, Sheets 1 thru 6. "
The information was  first  broken down into 4 major collection conditions:

               1.    From an alley on  one side only.
               2.    From an alley on  two sides.
               3,    From a street on  one side only,
               4.    From a street on  two sides.

                          The miles of each collection condition were determined
by measuring each block of each condition from maps  and summarizing these dis-
tances by collection-condition.   Miles determined in this manner are collection
miles excluding deadheading.  New route layouts will have only minor amounts of
deadheading, therefore this influence was eliminated.

                          Time,  stops, and containers were taken  from obser-
vations  for that block.  The time  excluded  deadheading.  The dwelling unit count
was taken from land use maps developed by the city.   The weight of the day's
route was the weight  of one or two loads as appropriate from actual weighings.

                          For each route,  unit factors were determined as indi-
cated.  These units were on a ''per mile, "  "per stop, " and  "per dwelling unit"
basis.  The per mile factors were used in analyzing existing routes and setting
recommended standards.  The per  dwelling unit and per  stop factors were not used.

               5.    New Work Rules.   It is apparent that new work rules must
be established and enforced.  It is recommended that the "incentive" or "task'1
system be used.   This system, and the explanation of other  terms mentioned
in this paragraph on  work rules,  is explained  in a letter to  the Director of
Public Works dated August 30,  1967, which is  reproduced in the Appendix as
Exhibit 3-9.

                    The incentive system, which is in common use throughout
the United States is simply assigning the men a certain amount of work to be
accomplished each day.  When they have completed the work they are permitted
to go  home.  The incentive for fast work is time off at the end of the day.   We
have designed the recommended routes in District #1 to allow a 40 minute  in-
centive  at the end of the day, provided the men work steadily and at  a reasonably
fast pace.

                    We have also allowed a 5 minute rest break each hour ex-
cept when a haul or lunch  or other break occurs.  See Exhibit 3-9 for a sample
day.
                                       3-1;

-------
                    A scheduled lunch  period is included in the day's work.
This period should be adequate to go to a place to wash and eat.  Currently 30
minutes is scheduled and the crews are  allowed to go to the nearest fire station
or City park to eat.  This  appears  to be appropriate and popular with the men;
however the lunch periods are seldom restricted to 30 minutes.  It  should be
agreed that either 30 minutes are to be used and then limit the crews to this
time, or schedule a longer period for lunch and extend the work day to cover
this period.

                    The following is a summary of the work rules which are
explained in Exhibit 3-9:

                          SUGGESTED NEW  WORK RULES
       a.     At the beginning of the day,  collection crews shall proceed
              directly from liie yard to the point of first collection where
              they will begin collection of waste.

       b.     Crews shall remain on their routes and shall follow the
              prescribed path at all times except when proceeding  to
              and from the place of disposal and the yard and except
              for the lunch period.

       c.     One 30 minute lunch period,  which starts when the crew
              leaves their route and ends  when they have returned  to
              their route, may be taken.  Crews may leave their route
              during this period and drive to the nearest City fire sta-
              tion or City park.

       d.     At the end of any full hour's collection time the crew may
              take, and they are encouraged to take, a 5 minute rest
              break; except when it is time to go to lunch or the truck
              is full and  they should proceed to the place of  disposal.

       e.     When the route has  been collected the crew shall  proceed
              directly to the place of disposal and then directly to  the
              yard, "at which  time they normally will be  dismissed for
              the day.

       f.     If one or more  of the  collection crews in the same district
              have been delayed for any reason, the District Foreman
              may  direct one or more of the other crews in that District
              to assist a delayed crew with the completion of the delayed
              crews collection.

       g.     When a  crew is required to work more than the 8 hours per
              day plus lunch time, they shall receive compensatory time
              off,at another time,  at the rate  of 1-1/2 hours of compen-
              satory time for each one hour of time •worked  in excess of
              the 8 hours plus lunch time.

                                        3-19

-------
               6.     New Standards.  In order to lay out new routes and de-
 termine the number  of crews and trucks, certain standards of performance
 must be determined.  Standards  are necessary for three types of activities;
 collection, haul and  delay.

                     a.    Standards for Haul.  The standards for haul include
 the estimated time required to drive the following distances for each route:

                          (1)     From garage to first stop on route in the
                                  morning.

                          (2)     From route to landfill site.

                          (3)     From landfill site back to route.

                          (4)     From landfill site to  garage.

                          The foreman should determine the  routes with the
shortest driving time and instruct his crews  to use them.

                     b.    Standards for Delay.   Standards for delay consist
 of the following:

                          (1)     Rest break.

                          (Z)     Lunch break.

                          (3)     Incentive time.

                          (4)     Unloading time at landfill site.

                          (5)     Mechanical breakdown.

                          (6)     Other stoppage of collection or haul.

                          Items  (1) and (2) are based on the work rules, and
 are scheduled into the day's activity.

                          Item (3), Incentive time, is estimated to be  40 min-
 utes, but will vary with the crew and other influences.

                          Item (4) is estimated to be 5  minutes.

                          No special allowance is made for items  (5) and (6).
 They are unusual happenings, and if they occur they reduce the incentive time.
 With  an incentive system, the incidence of flat tires discovered in the morning,
 which could have been discovered at the end of the previous day,  will diminish
 markedly.  Similarly,  the crews will be more alert to potential mechanical
                                      3-20

-------
breakdown in their vehicles, and are likely to report them before a delaying
breakdown occurs.  Standards for delay will be  based on the new work rules
outlined previously.
                    c.
                         Standards for Collection.  Standards for collection
are based on the average performances of the crews as measured.  The stan-
dards are approximate  because they are guides which must be applied to vary-
ing circumstances. They can be used to design routes which will be reasonably
correct on the average but will require adjustment to compensate for unusual
conditions.  These unusual conditions could involve the type of street or alley,
frequency of fences, population density, difficult terrain and similar items.

                          The standards also must be reevaluated once the
recommended routes are established.   How the standards were derived and the
reason for the required reevaluation are  discussed in the following paragraphs.

                          The routes in their present condition are sufficiently
confused to make  the measurement  of performance difficult and unreliable ex-
cept for approximations.  It  was  shown that normal routes were not always
followed; more than one day's work  was collected when the crews were  ob-
served; the path driven over  a route had large amounts of deadheading;  parts
of routes covered  may have been collected less than a week before, resulting
in light collections, or more than one week before resulting in heavy collection
and the crews performance was probably influenced by the presence of the
observer.  It is necessary to improve the routes and procedures before they
can be measured with any degree of reliability.

                          To develop temporary standards for the improved
routes, city-wide  averages were used for the four collection conditions. These
averages and the temporary  recommended standards are shown in Table 3-2.

                                    Table 3-2

-------
                          Prior to developing the temporary standards, trial
standards were set using the average minutes per mile  observed for crews
operating in the northwest 1/3  of the City which is referred to as District I.
These  standards and those for  delay and haul were used and routes were de-
signed on a first trial basis to  cover the area north of the freeway and west of
the Des Moines River.  The resulting routes  were compared to the present
routes in the area.  The new trial routes required a total of 77 man-days as
compared to  136. 5  man-days for existing crews  now covering the same area.

                          This comparison would inn' .ate that manpower re-
quirements could be reduced to 57% of the existing forces.  However,  it would
be unrealistic to say that the Des Moines system could  reorganize into an effi-
cient system with a collection work force of only 57% of its present strength,
based on the  averages for the routes observed in District I.  The data is not
that exact.  It is proper to say that the trial routes indicate that substantial
reductions can be made in the work forces.

                          New and liberal  standards  have been used for the
recommended routes.  City-wide averages were  used  as a base as opposed  to
averages in the District I area due to having  more data available.  Using city-
wide averages based on 26 routes,  representing approximately 20% of the total
routes, the data is  more  representative.

                          Basing the  standards  on observed performance while
the men were actually collecting is realistic.  The crews probably worked  more
steadily and faster  than normal;  however, the principal of incentive time is
based on reward of time off for steady fast work.  On the average, the produc-
tion accomplished when the men were collecting was  considered adequate.  Im-
provements can be  made  in production, not involving  additional efforts by the
crew.   These improvements are discussed elsewhere.

                          The production standards used for the recommended
routes are shown in Table 3-2.  These standards were  made more liberal than
the averages, by allowing more time per mile of collection.  This was done for
the following reasons;

               1.     The  scope of the  reorganization and improvements is too
large to accomplish in one step.

              2,     The  data is  not sufficiently  accurate  to apply directly.

               3.     The  new liberal standards will be only temporary.  Once
the new routes and conditions have been installed and are functioning as  an
efficient system,  the routes  should be remeasured and  new standards  applied
as appropriate.   This  procedure and other  adjustments to  standards are dis-
cussed in Section E-7.  New crew requirements are shown in Section E-8.

                          Collection standards are shown for three-man crews
and two-man crews.  A three-man crew will require  two  trips to the landfill

                                      3-22

-------
site.  A two-man crew,  if equally efficient per man, would collect only 2/3 as
much material and make only one trip to the landfill site.  This represents  a
considerable savings because the time  saved by eliminating a round trip will
be used for additional collection.

                          Additional equipment is necessary for two-man
crews.  For each six men, the three-man crew requires 2 trucks and the two-
men crew requires 3 trucks.  There is  a driving time for the round trip to the
landfill site which represents a break-even point.  The break-even time has
been determined to be 22. 5 minutes.  The computations necessary to establish
this time are shown in Appendix Exhibit 3-10.

                          In District I routes, two-man crews were used
where the driving time was greater than 22. 5 minutes.

               7.    New Routes Established.   New routes have been established
for approximately 1/3 of the City in the area west of the Des Moines River and
primarily north of the Freeway, referred to as District I.  It extends below the
expressway only for a small area necessary  to finish out the full 5 days of the
last route.

                    Starting in the northwest corner  of District I a map was
drawn of an efficient driving path which, if followed,  would lead the collection
crews along all of the streets and alleys required to provide collection of all
of the domestic solid waste area. The  path has been designed and field checked
to eliminate unnecessary deadheading and takes into account one-way streets,
deadends,  median strips and similar barriers.  This map is shown as Figure
3-2.  A description of the  path is given in the District I Route Book.  In this
book the 1490 city blocks from which collection is made in District I are de-
scribed.  A sample page from the route  book is shown as Figure 3-3.

                     The routes were designed using the standards and work
rules described in the preceding sections.  The design is  basically applying
collection time  standards to the distances and conditions  listed in the route
book and adding the haul and delay times, as appropriate, until a day's •work
has been accomplished.

                    Each route has been designed and  recorded in a Route
Plan Book.   The Route Plan Book for District I is complete and is available
for use.  It is not reproduced in this report,  but a sample of the first day's
route is included as Figure 3-4.

                     A summary of the routes in District I is given in Table  3. 3.
                    Each crew assigned to District I should be given a copy
of the Route Book for District I.  Their assigned routes are given by block
numbers. For example, Route 1, Day 1 is from Block 01 through Block 14.
Route 1, Day 2 is from Block 15 through Block 38, etc.

                                      3-23

-------
                    If a route is delayed and other crews within the District
are assigned to assist the delayed crew, it is a simple matter to tell a crew
to collect from Blocks #	to	.   By reference to their route  book
they will know exactly how to drive the blocks and the foreman will know how
long it will take.

                    Supervisory personnel have been shown how the routes
are designed and how to  prepare similar routes for the  rest  of the City. They
have also been provided  with the necessary forms and sample calculations.

                          The present effort under existing conditions required
to collect from District I is 139. 5 man days per week as shown in Table 3-4.

                          The new required manpower will be 68% (95 -=- 139. 5)
of the existing forces working in the area.  The new requirement for trucks in
District I will be 75% (35 -r 46. 5) of the existing trucks used in the area.
                                      3-26

-------
                          To extend these requirements to include the entire
City, it is necessary to eliminate the 2-man crew influence.  Add 2 men making
7 crews of 3 men each for 21 men.  The part of the City represented by District
I requires 46. 5 crew days out of a total of 135 (27 x 5),  or 34. 4%.   New crew
requirements for the entire City collected kitchen waste is 61. 2 men (21 •*- . 344)
less 2, which is equal to 59. 2 men.

                     b.     Collecting All Residential Waste.  When collecting
all residential waste instead of kitchen waste only, more time will be required
per dwelling unit (DU).

                          Assume  330 min.  per day  collection, 2  1/2 men actually
collecting (1/2 man driving) and 650 DUs  per day.  Also assume one extra con-
tainer per DU and  8  seconds per extra container.

                     330x2.5x60  = 76 seconds  per DU (kitchen waste)
                          650

                     Dwellings served at  84  seconds  each = 76 x 650 =
                                                          84
                     590 DU per day,  when collecting all residential
                     waste.

                          The crew requirements will increase by the  ratio of
 84 to 76 or 1.11.  The manpower required to collect District I and to collect
 the entire City is  as follows:

               District I All Residential waste -     19  x 1. 11  - 21 men

               Entire City All Residential waste  -   59. 2 x 1. 11 -  66 men

               9.     Procedure for Converting to New  Routes.  New routes in
 District I will cover all of the area now served by  eight routes and parts of
 five others.  The  eight existing routes completely  eliminated will  free 24 men.
 The routes partially covered by District I will free additional  men. From this
 number,  19 men should be selected for the crews of the new routes.  The  new
 crews should be given their route books and maps and  an explanation of how
 they are  used.  They should  be given time to become  familiar with the area
 and allowed to drive each day's work.  This can be accomplished well before
 the change-over is made. There will be parts of the new area that will  need
 an intermediate pick-up by the extra crews, due to changes in scheduled dates
 of collection,  if refuse accumulation and  complaints  are to be held to a mini-
 mum. Complaints  for skips can be promptly remedied  by the extra crews.

                     After the  second, or third week, the crews should be
 able to carry the route without help from extra crews,  except for  remedial
 complaint calls, even if they use their incentive  time and possibly run into
 overtime.  Six or  eight weeks may be required before  crews can carry
                                      3-27

-------
their routes in the minimum time, thus realizing the maximum incentive time.

                    Crews should be required to perform their routes as
shown in the route book, without modification,  until well into the  six or eight
week familiarization period.  However, the foreman should allow the crews
to move their starting and stopping points within their week's work,  to even
out any major imbalance in the individual day's work within the week.  No  change
in the path of the route,  or exchange of territory between crews should be  per-
mitted except where absolutely necessary.

                    At the end of six or eight weeks,  the route should be adjusted
as necessary,  based on whatever information is available and what appears rea-
sonable from the performance of the crews within a District. This can be done
simply by changing the start-stop  points of the  various days. This adjustment
cannot be based on any new standards, because no  reliable new information will
be available, except what the crews report  when they finish their work for
the day. At best,  this first adjustment will even out a few imbalances.  After the
first adjustment, a technician should follow each crew on each day's work,  re-
cording the same information which was recorded by the technician during this
study. The foreman must oversee  the crews work and compare the technicians
records -with the  crews assigned route, to be absolutely certain that the crews
are following their routes  and the work rules relative to  rest breaks, lunch
periods and hauling  procedures, exactly as assigned.  Since each day in each
route will have been observed,  it will be a simple matter to make adjustments
in the routes by moving the start-stop  points which define the route.  This adjust-
ment will be considered the final adjustment, at least for a  considerable period
of time.

                    Since the standards -were set  purposely easy, this adjust-
ment should result in the elimination of a few route days at  the  end of the Dis-
trict.  It is possible that  all or most of the last route will be absorbed into
the earlier route.

                    The data obtained from the technicians following the crews,
and the factors concerning time, distance,  and  quantities computed from this
data, can be used to establish routes in District II  and III.   The first balance
should be closer  than for District I because of the data taken from well or-
ganized routes and experience gained in the first District established.  The
procedure followed in establishing and adjusting District I should be repeated
for Districts II and III.

             10.    Gathering  New Data.   As  soon as the new routes have
been adjusted as  described in the preceding paragraph,  new data  gathering
should begin.  Each load collected in District I should be  weighed  each day.
These weights  and the other data required for the  Drivers Daily Report
should be recorded.  From weighing of full trucks  a pounds per cubic yard
average can be computed.   With such a unit weight, the  cubic yards  on partial
loads can be calculated with reasonable accuracy.
                                      3-28
  453-956 O - 72 - 9

-------
                    Thirty working days after the "Final" adjustment of Dis-
trict I,  several days of the  last route  in District I should be converted to col-
lecting all domestic solid waste, in lieu of only kitchen waste.   The end of the
District is chosen for  this conversion because these routes can be adjusted
as required without readjusting the preceding routes.  Similarly,  the last few
days of Districts II and III  should  be converted after they have been established
on kitchen waste  only.  Records obtained showing increased quantities and time
required for collection,  will be necessary information when all routes are con-
verted to  collecting all domestic waste.

                    As  part of the grant requirements  under which this study
was made, it was agreed that when the routes were  reorganized to the extent
that good data could be collected concerning all domestic waste such data would
be gathered, analyzed and made available to  the granting agency.  The City will
make the weighing and record the basic data.  The  consultant will assist in ana-
lyzing this data ai:d will comment on any application concerning conclusions
drawn in this report.

             1 1 .    Equipment

                    a.    Number of Trucks Required.  Based on the  require-
ments previously determined, the  following truck requirements have been es-
tablished:

              Service                 District I             Entire City

              Kitchen Waste              7                      20

              All Residential Waste       7.75                   22

                          Since there are  now 27 active trucks and 3 standby
spares, there will be  a  surplus of vehicles as soon as all of the routes have
been  reorganized, and no additional trucks will be required.

                    b.    Size of  Trucks Required.  The calculations concern-
ing the trucks required  and the optimum size of packer body,  are based on the
data gathered when observing  the collection crews.  New data will be available
as  the new routes are established and adjusted.  The following calculations
and discussion based on the existing data should be repeated when the  new
data is available.

                           From City-wide averages, the crews collected 32. 2
Ibs. per minute when  collecting kitchen waste.  Using an average of 330 minutes
for collection for the new standards,  the average crew will collect 10,600 Ibs.
per day.
                          This yill exceed the normal capacity of a 16 C. Y.
 packer truck which is 9,600 Ibs.  and require two trips to the landfill site.
 If one trip were made and the extra time due to the eliminated second trip

                                      3-29

-------
was  spent in collection,  an additional 36 minutes would add 1, 160 Ibs.  for a
total of 1 i, 760  Ibs. per day.    This approaches the limit of a 20  C. Y. packer
body of 12, 000 Ibs. ,  and on heavy days would exceed it.  Two trips would be
required.

                          When collecting all residential waste in lieu of just
kitchen waste the amcunt collected from each dwelling unit will be 40% greater
but fewer units  will be collected.   The average crew will collect 13. 500 ibs.
per day (10, 600 x 590 x  1. 4).   This amount will normally exceed the  single
                  650
load capacity of 16, 20 and 22 C.  Y. packer bodies, the latter being 13, 400 Ibs.
On heavy days the capacity of a 24 C.  Y.  packer at  14,400 Ibs. can be exceeded.
Two trips will be required.

                          Two loads of a 16 C.  Y.  packer can haul 19, 200 Ibs.
It appears  that there is no reason to purchase larger equipment than the pre-
sent 16 C.  Y. fleet if the policy of collecting only kitchen waste is changed to
collecting all domestic waste, as recommended in this report.

                          Those  responsible  for sizing the equipment must
take into account the weight limitations for single axle truck chassis.   A packer
body 20 C.  Y. or larger will probably require a tandem axle  chassis.  The
packer body size and  the point where tandem axles are required will depend on
the weight of the material as determined by the  new data gathering program.

                     c.    Conditicn of Present  Fleet.   The  present fleet is
modern and adequately maintained except for  appearance.  The appearance of
the trucks and packer bodies does not  reflect  the standards which should be
set for a fleet of sanitation vehicles.  These vehicles are advertising the de-
partment.   They should be regularly cleaned inside  and out and touched up
with paint at those points receiving wear and tear.

                          It is suggested that when  new vehicles are purchased.
consideration be given to diesel engines and automatic transmissions.   Careful
cost records and performance measurements may prcve these to be worth-
 while.  There is much discussion in the industry concerning  these two items.
 Testing in the Des Moines area could be beneficial to future  costs.

                     d.    Labor  Saving Devices and Procedures.  The collec-
tion division currently uses aluminum tubs to carry waste from the customers'
containers  to the vehicle. These  tubs are too  small  and obsolete, as explained
in an interim report to the Public Works Department. We  recommended larger
plastic tote cans  which are currently used throughout the  country.  The merit
in these cans is in their large capacity.  They should not be used to carry mere
material but  instead are easier and quicker to load  with a  given amount of ma-
terial.  Presently the collector must stack bags of garbage,  sometimes higher
than the sides of these low tubs.  There is great chance of  spilling the stacked
tubs, particulary when hoisting to the shoulder.  The customers'  containers
can simply be dumped into the large cans without the time consuming  stacking
and  spillage.

                                       3-30

-------
                          The cost of these large cans is negligible.  The im-
portant cost to the  department is labor.  A can which costs $15. 00 is unim-
portant when compared to the cost  of a truck and crew which cost approxi-
mately $12.00 per hour, 2,080 hours per year.

                          It has been shown previously that the difference in
cost to collect all residential waste,  as compared to kitchen waste,  is only the
extra 8 seconds per customer it takes to  empty one additional container.  The
improvement  in any small item which will save labor regardless of the amount
of saving is worthwhile when considering the many times this  saving can multi-
ply.   For an indication of the potential saving if a more  efficient tote can is
used, consider the  fact that approximately 4 million customer cans are handled
each year.

                          It is  also recommended that keys to the trucks be
either issued  to the drivers or given out and collected at the garbage headquar-
ters where the men check in and out each day.  The present procedure  calls
for the men to proceed from  check-in at 0700,  to the garage dispatcher cage,
where they are issued keys.   This  procedure consumes valuable and unneces-
sary time.  A 5 minute delay costs approximately 97  cents per crew, which is
$26. 00 per day or $6, 800 per year.  This particular delay can be eliminated
for the price of keys  which cost 35£ each.

                          In the morning, on cold days, the crews have ex-
perienced difficulty in starting their trucks.  This is  common to fleets  which
are parked outside.   The problem  is not the storing of vehicles outside, but
the delay to the crews.  A garage man should be assigned the  duty of starting
all trucks on cold mornings in advance of the scheduled start of collection.
One  garage man can  properly warm up all trucks and do what is necessary  to
start difficult ones  at a fraction of the cost to the department when compared
to a 3-man crew for  each truck being delayed.

                          The truck is the second largest expense  in the col-
lection of waste, but this expense is only 1/6 the cost of the crew which uses
it.  Anything which can be done to  improve the  efficiency of the men must be
considered.   This is  a management function presently lacking in many muni-
cipal systems today.

              12.     Costs.  The cost estimates in Table 3-5 are based on the
1967  budget for the collection of kitchen waste only,  and the collection of all
residential  domestic waste.   The costs of existing personnel are taken from
the 1967 revised budget.  The personnel  costs for  estimated conditions are
based on prices established  in the  19&7 budget, plus  an 8. 3% increase for
holidays, vacation and sick leave,  plus a 5% allowance for standby personnel.
The estimated personnel requirements are based on liberal work standards
established on a temporary basis.   Therefore these estimates  should be con-
sidered as conservative.

                    The estimates reflect the same costs that are included in
the present budget.   They do not include any overhead costs which are not'now
included in the Garbage Activity Budget such as  office rent, Public Works ad-
ministration, accounting and similar expense.

                   The estimate to collect kitchen waste only, under the im-
proved system as  shown in Part B,  Table 3-5, is  $501,000..  This is $172,000
less than the present cost of collecting the same kitchen waste only under  exist-
ing conditions.

                   The estimate to collect all domestic waste under the im-
proved system as  shown in Part C,  Table 3-5, is  $555, 000.  This is $118, 000
less than the present cost of collecting kitchen waste only under the  present
conditions.

       F.     Cost Comparisons.   The several cost analyses developed in
preceding sections are compared in Table 3-6.  These costs are based on in-
formation received from the three cities. The data received was adjusted  to
reflect a common  basis. Personnel costs include wages, payroll expense,
vacation,  sick leave,  holidays and supervision. Truck costs are  based on
maintenance,  repair,  operating  expenses and amortization.  Office overhead,
garage rental and  interest on investment is not included.

              Part A is a  summary of the existing collection systems of Des
Moines, West Des Moines and Urbandale.  These  cities  collect only domestic
kitchen waste on a once per week schedule and the cost shown is  for this
service.

-------
              Part B is an estimate of the cost of service if the cities were
to increase their service to collect all domestic waste.  These costs are based
on present levels of efficiency but increased 16% to cover the increased ser-
vice.

              Part C is an estimate of weekly collection of  kitchen wastes for
Des Moines  but with improved efficiency as recommended.

              Part D is an estimate of the cost of weekly collection of all do-
mestic solid waste assuming the improved efficiency. The estimate  given for
the Des Moines  system is $118, 000  less than that now spent for the limited
collection service now being furnished.   Part D also indicates the estimated
cost of weekly collection of all domestic solid waste if the population were in-
creased to cover the population of the entire metropolitan area comprising  the
Study Area.

Future Collection System
              1.    General.  The future organization recommended is a
Metropolitan Solid Waste Agency.  The details of this Agency, its purpose,
formation, organization, financing and general operations are described in
                                     3-34

-------
Part Five of this report.  In this section the collection activities of the Agency
are described.  It is assumed that all of the communities within the Study Area
would be served by the Agency.   In the  event all do not join,  the operations de-
scribed here can be reduced as  appropriate.

                     It is recommended that the Agency collect all domestic
solid waste on a weekly schedule.

               2.     Organization.   A superintendent shall be in direct charge of
operation of the Collection Division.  He shall receive policy, technical and over-
all direction from the Director of the Agency.   The Study Area shall be divided
into  four districts each under  the supervision of a district foreman who shall
report to the Collection Superintendent.  A records clerk shall maintain the
records and prepare production records and reports and keep time for the  collec-
tion  service.   Each district shall operate as a team, nominally  independently  of
the other districts.

                     The incentive  system and work rules as described in Part
Three Section E 5 shall be followed.  The  trucks,  other  vehicles and equipment
 for  the Colection Division shall be provided and maintained by the Equipment
 Section.

               3.     Operations.  The  operational headquarters will be located
at the new Northeast Sanitary Landfill  site,  described in Part Four.  Two of the
districts shall work  out of this site and two  shall operate out of  the Southwest
site.

                     The Northeast site will have the main office, personnel
facilities and main equipment maintenance  and  repair facilities.   The South-
west site shall have  personnel facilities for crews of the two districts operat-
ing out of this site and for the landfill personnel.  In addition, preventative
maintenance and minor repair facilities for the trucks and landfill equipment
will be located at the site.

                     A description of the detailed operating procedures of the
Collection Division would be beyond the scope of this report.  It is necessary
to staff the operation with competent people who know how to manage such an
activity.

                     It is  recommended that standard operating  procedures be
prepared which describe how  to accomplish the major tasks and activities.
Standard operating procedures should include the following  subjects:

                     a.    Personal injury accidents.

                     b.    Property damage accidents.

                     c.    Damage to collection equipment.

-------
                    d,    Preventative maintenance for equipment.

                    e.    Daily inspection reporting of condition of  truck
                          chassis and packer  bodies.

                    f.    Fueling of equipment.

                    g.    Cleaning of equipment.

                    h.    Driving to,  from and throughout the routes in-
                          cluding brakes, lights, power takeoff, packer
                          mechanisms and  exact  path to be driven.

                    i.    Handling of customers refuse containers.

                    j.    Lifting, carrying  and  storing tote  containers.

                    k.    Handling of complaints.

                    1.    Tagging of improper containers.

                    In addition to the  standard operating procedures,  personnel
rules, job descriptions, operating instructions and policies of the Agency should
also be prepared.

                    Formal programs should  be developed for the following items:

                    a.    Health and safety.

                    b.    Driver  training.

                    c.    Personnel selection, management  and retention.

                    d.    Investigation of mechanical breakdown of  equipment.

                    e.    Collection route efficiency and work load  balance.

                    f.    Selection  and procurement of equipment and labor
                          saving devices.

                    g.    Cost control.

                    h.    Gathering of basic data.

                    i.    Public relations.

              4.    Routes.   At  the time of the creation of  the Agency collection
system the three districts in the Des Moines system should be functioning properly
under the new procedures  recommended.  The Agency will use the routes in the

                                       3-36

-------
districts as a nucleus upon which to build a complete  system.  The procedures
established for setting standards and routes should be followed in determining
the additional routes necessary to serve the Study Area.

                    The routes should be regrouped into four districts with
the boundaries of the districts determined by the areas that will be collected
by the crews which will work out of the two sanitary landfill  sites.

               5.    Equipment Considerations.   The basic equipment to be used
for collection will be trucks  with packer bodies.  It is contemplated that the exist-
ing equipment now owned by  cities joining the Agency would be leased to the Agency
for its use.  The Agency would purchase new equipment to replace the leased
equipment as it was amortized, beginning the first year.  By leasing equipment
the cities will have a method of orderly disposal of their equipment inventories.
The three cities in the Study Area which operate their own systems now have
adequate equipment to collect from the entire Study Area.

                    Replacement equipment should be sized to best fit the needs
of the routes to which it will be assigned.

                    It is recommended that detailed cost and use records be
accumulated on each vehicle and vehicles  of like specification. With such records
it is possible to make intelligent management decisions concerning the amortiza-
tion periods and decisions concerning overhaul or replacement of individual units.
The superintendents of the Collection Division and Equipment Section, together
with the Assistant Director and Director should have the necessary skills and
knowledge to make cost and  performance analysis and completely understand
and practice equipment management.

               6.    Personnel and Equipment Requirements.  The estimates of
personnel and  equipment for  the new Agency and the costs,  both annual and
initial, have been adjusted from the temporary standards set forth previously.
There will be additional opportunities to readjust the estimates contained in
this section as new performance data becomes  available but it is necessary now
to make some  adjustments upon which planning can begin.

                    In Table 3-7, the population, basic crew  size and basic
truck requirements are set out for  Des Moines in item la,  based on the new
temporary standards. They  are also shown increased in item  Ib, in direct pro-
portion to a larger population.  This population is equal to the  estimated 1967
population of the metropolitan area included in this study.   Item  Ic  shews the
basic crew size and truck requirement after a  10% reduction in the initial tem-
porary standards has been applied.  The actual reduction should be greater
than  10% and thus costs may be less than will be shown for these items;  how-
ever  for planning purposes a 10% factor is considered adequate-
                    Items 2 and 3 show the basic crew sizes and truck re-
quirements developed into operational requirements.

              7.    Personnel.   The total personnel of the Collection Division
is shown in Table  3-7.    The 98 men working under the direction of the Collec-
tion Superintendent represent a large personnel management challenge and the
most important  part of the operation.  The men represent the largest cost item
and are the heart of the operation. The difference between a successful and
economical operation and something less will be the manner in which these men
are motivated and supervised.

                    Modern personnel management techniques must be initiated
for hiring, training and retention.

                    The  screening of new personnel should include  a complete
physical examination,  a drivers test and previous driving history investigation
for both drivers and collectors.  The driver is considered to be the crew chief
and does the major driving; however, he also assists in the collection of waste
while on route.  The collectors do both collecting and minor driving while on
route.   Both must be in sound physical condition and capable of operating the
truck.

                    The  concept that anyone is suitable for refuse collection
work is incorrect. A crew is a unit which operates alone most of the time.
Their level of performance is important  to the  cost and overall success  of the
department. They also represent a major  exposure of government to the public.
They should be  properly  selected, trained and supervised as the most important
element of the service.   Their status and image should be protected and im-
proved  at every opportunity.

              8.    Collection Costs.    Basic  cost data and annual  costs are
presented  in Table 3-8.  It is  contemplated that the large "initial" expenses
estimated  to be  approximately $444, 000 would be financed from the  proceeds of
bonds over a period of 20 years.  The annual payment  of bonds and the annual
reoccurring expenses for collection would amount to a cost of approximately
$820, 100 per year.  The  disposal of the material collected  by the department
would cost $1. 10 per ton  which is the suggested charge made for all users
of the disposal facilities.   This cost would be $73, 300 for the disposal of an
estimated  66,600  tons per year.  The total cost of this collection activity in-
cluding disposing  of the material collected is $893,400 per  year.

                    Although  not a cost of operation or debt service,  bond
buyers  will insist on a reserve for the annual debt service .  This varies
but for  estimating purposes we have assumed a 40% factor.  The debt service
reserve would be . 4x the  debt  service of $34, 100, or $13, 600.  The total
revenue requirement for  this collection service would  be $907,000 per year.

              9.    Cost Comparison.  A comparison is made in Table 3-9 be-
tween the estimated cost of Agency service, and the cost of various other collec-
tion services now being offered in  the Study Area.

                    Part A shows the estimated cost of Agency collection of all
residential waste. See Part Five section E for details.

                    Part B shows the cost of contract collection in the  Town of
Pleasant Hill.  The  contract provides a charge based on $1. 50 per dwelling unit
per month,  for weekly kitchen waste service.   This cost is approximately 1. 7
times the estimated cost of Agency collection of all domestic  waste.

                    Parts  C and D show the cost of weekly service for  kitchen
waste and all domestic waste collection where the individual  householders  make
arrangements with private  haulers for private service.  The prices  in the com-
munity vary; however the cost of $2. 00 per month and $2. 50 per month  respectively
are typical.  The price per dwelling unit for all domestic waste of $30. 00 per year
is 2. 7 times the  estimated  cost of  similar  service under  Part A.

 PART FOUR - DISPOSAL OF SOLID WASTE

        A.    General.   The disposal of solid waste, as discussed in this Part
 of the report, is based on the regional approach similar to that presented in
 Part Three, concerning solid waste collection.  One or two large disposal
 facilities, regardless of the type,  can be operated at a unit cost which is con-
 siderably less than that resulting from many smaller facilities.  In addition,
 a larger facility can attract and can afford the necessary full time profession-
 al management  required to operate the disposal facility properly.

             Solid waste disposal  can be accomplished using any of several
 methods.  The selection of the most appropriate method depends on the par-
 ticular circumstances that prevail at the time and in the location where the
 disposal is  needed.

             The old town dump, where  refuse was  burned from time to time
 was acceptable when there were fewer people,  less  intense land development
 and little knowledge  of air pollution.  Today this practice is inappropriate.

             In some sea  coast communities combustible refuse is burned
 on barges far out to  sea and the residue dumped into the water.  This practice
 is now condemned as a source of air and water pollution.

             In the large metropolitan regions  such as the New York City area,
 land, labor and transportation costs present a different set of  circumstances
 than prevail in the Study Area around Des Moines.   Each community or region
 must consider methods which are based on local conditions.

             In the following paragraphs, three basic types of disposal are
 discussed; Incineration,  Composting and Landfilling.

       B.    Description of Disposal Methods

             1.     Incineration

                   a.      Discussion.   This  process consists  of reducing com-
 bustible refuse to an inert residue  by burning, within an enclosure,  under high
 temperatures and controlled conditions.  When accomplished in a large facility
 for a community with waste  transported to the facility from several sources  it
 is referred to as Central Incineration,   When accomplished by individuals or
 commercial, industrial or institutional concerns for their own locally generated
 waste it is referred to as On Site Incineration

                          Central  and  On Site Incinerators are used for two
purposes; to reduce large volumes of waste to a small volume  of residue and to
change the form of a  material which may be dangerous or a nuisance to one which
is safe or nuisance free.
                                      4-1

-------
                                  Municipal incineration plants are  familiar
to the general public.  Unfortunately many poor examples are in  existence
today.   They should not be considered as typical of what  a modern plant can be.
The modern plant with proper air pollution control devices, burning at high
temperatures and equipped with proper  controls and site facilities can be  operated
in any area zoned for industrial use without creating a nuisance.

                                  There are many incinerators throughout the
United States which are fine examples of industrial architecture.  Much of the
public would be unaware of the function  of the  facility  if it were not  for signs
on the building or at the gates.

                                  A major advantage of the central  incinerator
is the relatively small land requirement and the ability to locate  the plant in
an industrial area within a city.  The central  location reduces the hauling cost
not only for the city collection crews, but also for the  industrial  and commer-
cial users of the facility.  This advantage is particularly important  in large
metropolitan areas where there is a high cost in hauling  materials from the
place where the waste is generated,  to landfill sites in rural areas.  It is not
as important in this  Study Area where rural land is available within  a few min-
utes driving time from  the center of the city.

                                  The major disadvantage is the  cost of initial
construction and the cost of maintenance and operation.  These costs amount to
approximately $6. 50 per ton as described in Table 4-3.

                                  The central incineration plant  receives  only
a portion of the solid waste of the community.  Approximately 1 /4 of the volume
and 1 /Z  of the  weight  of the waste is incombustible and must be diverted to
landfill sites.  Also part of the  waste which is incinerated will remain as  resi-
due which must be landfilled.   Waste water from ari incineration plant from air
scrubbers and quenching must be treated.

                                  Modern incinerators generate  considerable
amounts of waste heat. In some new plants heat is now being put to  economical
use as steam which is either  used for generation of electricity or used directly
as steam or hot water in a variety of processes.  The  steam or electricity thus
produced is sold to offset part of the cost of operation.   The first cost is higher
but it is a worthwhile investment.

                                  Formerly excess air was introduced into in-
cinerators to reduce the temperature of the stack gasses.  With  increasing air
pollution requirements the cost of scrubbing these excess air quantities is
greatly increased.  The recovery of excess heat in the form of steam not only
produces a valuable  product,  but also reduces the required quantity of excess
air which in turn reduces the cost of scrubbing the stack gasses.
                                       4-2

-------
                                  To be economical, steam for electric generation
should be high pressure and in large  enough quantity to operate a large generator.
Many small electric power generating plants are abandoning their small  units as un-
economical to operate.  This is due to the interconnection of power lines where
very large generators can serve many areas more  economically than the individual
communities  can serve themselves.  There  is not enough heat involved in this par-
ticular  situation to consider electric  generation.  Steam or hot water could be
sold if there was a buyer close by.

                                  Some plants with waste heat recovery devices
have claimed a cost  reduction of approximately $2. 00 per ton.  If this was  pos-
sible in the Study Area, the cost of incineration  could be reduced from $6.  50 per
ton as  shown  in the  cost estimate to $4. 50 per ton.

                                  The cost of a sanitary landfill  discussed  in the
following paragraph  is  approximately $1.10  per ton.  Thus incineration costs
would be  between 4  and 6 times  as expensive. In addition, a sanitary landfill
would be  required for the materials which could not be incinerated and for  in-
cinerator residue.

                                  Based on costs, a central  incinerator plant is
not recommended.

                                  Certain industries, commercial establishments
and institutions may wish to operate on site incinerators as  a matter of conve-
nience.  If they are properly designed and operated they should be permitted.
The design; however, must include all  of the necessary controls and devices to
insure proper burning and safety and air pollution controls.

                                  Some on  site incinerators may be  necessary.
For example,  the safe  disposal  of infectious  or otherwise contaminated materials
from hospitals or drug manufacturers requires incineration.  Also highly volatile
and inflammable liquids from  other industries cannot be safely buried in  a  land-
fill. In these cases, incineration is necessary and an acceptable method of
disposal;  however,  they should be  licensed and controlled.

                        b.        Quantities  of Material and Cost of  Incineration .
In computer programs A,  B and C as described in Part Two,  each load of ma-
terials which was measured at the six site surveys was tested by the computer
to determine whether that load could be sent to a central incinerator or should
be diverted to a sanitary landfill.  Two quantities were determined; (1) the vol-
ume and weight of material which could be accepted and processed; and (Z) the
volume and weight of material which should be diverted to  sanitary landfill.

                                 These quantities were based  on  the materials
as measured at the several sites during the surveys and therefore  included the
special tree wastes.   It would not be appropriate to consider these special
tree wastes when determining the quantities  for incineration because these
wastes will not occur in large quantities after  1972.  These quantities also did

not include the on site disposal.

                                 To obtain reasonable estimates for incineration,
the quantities from the computer programs were used to determine the percent
disposable by incineration.  This percentage was adjusted for  special tree waste
quantities and then applied to the total  1967 quantities  which include measured
quantities and estimated on  site quantities.

                                 Tree waste,  including special tree waste and
normal tree waste, consists of Material  Classifications 10,  11,  12 and 13.  Clas-
sifications 10 and 11  are logs and stumps which cannot be  sent through an in-
cinerator. Classifications 12 and 13 are  limbs and leaves which can be incinerated.
Classes 12 and 13 represent 58% of the volume and 35% of the weight of the total
tree waste.  The basis for these percentages are shown in Table 4-1.

                                 The  quantities of materials and cost estimates
are shown in Tables 4-2 and 4-3.

          based on  detailed designs.  These estimates are  adequate only  for
          establishing the  magnitude of the  cost per ton  of incineration  capacity.

                 2.       Composting.   This process consists of the conversion
of the organic portion of the solid waste through aerobic digestion,  to a  stable
and harmless material, which may be used for a soil conditioner or as fertilizer.

                         Micro-organisms which are present in garbage and other
organic material will cause the waste to decompose.  The composting plant  pro-
vides the proper environment for these organisms.  The plant receives  only those
loads of solid waste which can be composted.  Loads  not suitable for composting
are diverted to sanitary landfills.   The waste which is accepted is picked to re-
move non-compostable  materials.   Some of these materials have a value and
are salvaged.  After picking, the remaining material is pulverized and moistur-
ized with various processing equipment.  The  material is  then  subjected to a
composting period varying from one to  two weeks during which the  temperature,
moisture and air content is carefully controlled, and  the material is mixed.   At
the end of the composting period, the waste has  been  converted to compost which
is a humus  like material having some value as a soil  conditioner  or as a form
of fertilizer.

                         Composting has been practiced for many years with
little  success.  In recent years, several research and development projects
have been undertaken which have improved the process. The modern  plant of
today is a highly mechanized facility utilizing quality equipment designed or
specifically adapted for this process.  Several well known national  companies
and equipment manufacturers have  built and are operating  composting plants in
Texas.  Arizona and Florida.

                         Unfortunately,  some  of these modern plants have had
serious difficulty with odor problems.  It is assumed that  these problems can
be overcome and within a few years it will be possible to process compost in
a nuisance free manner.

                         The cost of composting is  considerably greater than the
cost of  landfilling.  One of the most recent plants constructed by  a  national com-
pany in cooperation with a  major Florida City  was placed into operation  and  re-
ceived 100 tons of compostable  refuse per day.  The City  pays  a  fee of approxi-
mately $3. Z5 per ton to the operator to take the material.   This fee is approxi-
mately  3  times the cost of  landfilling and in addition the non-compostable materi-
al must be landfilled.
                         Whether the compost material can be sold is  a  debatable
question.  Attempts to sell  soil conditioners in large quantity in the Mid-West
have not been successful.

                         It  is possible that the composting process  may  be
practical some years  in the future.   Today in the Study  Area it  is not recom-
mended as a satisfactory method of solid waste disposal.

                         The quantities of material which  could oe  composted
are not  included in this  report.   The basic data is available from  the computer
programs and the method of calculation is similar to that shown in  the preceding
                                      4-7

paragraphs on incineration.

                3.       Landfilling .   This section discusses sanitary landfills
in general and two variations of the process:  dry landfills and wet landfills.

                         Sanitary landfilling is a process in which solid waste
materials are  spread on the  ground, crushed and compacted into a dense mass
and covered with  earth in a carefully controlled sanitary manner.  This method
is a proven systein which when carefully planned and operated is economical
and nuisance free.

                         The filling can be on land ranging from level land to
gullies  or ravines.  In many instances,  rough and low value land has been im-
proved by filling.

                         The term  sanitary landfill has frequently been con-
fused with open dumps or burning grounds.   This is incorrect.  A  sanitary land-
fill is a specific process requiring  careful design and management, proper  equip-
ment and operating techniques to assure  that sanitary conditions are maintained
at all times.  The compacted waste is  completely covered with earth on a daily
schedule.  Each day's waste is therefore  enclosed in an earth cell. These cells
preclude rodents  and insects,  odors,  litter, air and water pollution and fires.
Emphasis is placed on proper location, equipment,  compaction and cover, sight
screening and other sanitary and aesthetic requirements.

                         The major disadvantage is that  large quantities of  land
are required.  In certain parts of the  country this requirement can be disquali-
fying.  However,  in the Study  Area, there is land available at locations close
enough for economical hauling.

                         Another potential disadvantage is the frequent lack of
public acceptance of sanitary landfilling.  This is due to  the bad reputation of
dumps and the public confusion of dumps and sanitary landfills.  A good public
relation  program and a demonstration  of proper  sanitary landfill operations can
reduce the public resistance.

                         Sanitary landfilling is estimated to cost approximately
$1. 10 per ton as  shown in  Section K of this Part  Four.  When compared to the
cost of incineration and composting this method is the  least expensive.

                         Two variations  on the sanitary landfill method were
also considered:  The dry  and the wet landfill.

                         Certain materials such as broken concrete,  demolition
waste ashes, etc. can be used to fill gullies,  worked out quarries  or low land
without requiring full sanitary landfill methods.

-------
                         Filling a dry area with such material is  referred to as
dry landfilling.   Filling areas which could be wet  from ground water or surface
overflow with suitable material is referred to as wet landfilling.

                         The  materials which are considered suitable for these two
methods are described in Part Two under  computer programs.  The quantities
which can be placed in dry and wet landfills were  determined in Computer  Pro-
grams A, B and C.

                         These quantities  do not appear to be large enough to war-
rant consideration as a disposal method for the Study Area.  However, they do indi-
cate the potential quantity of material which may be diverted from public sani-
tary landfill sites when fees are charged for disposal.

        C.       Recommended Method of  Disposal .   The  sanitary landfill method
is recommended for the following reasons:

                1.       Land is available.

                2.       The  method has  been  proven satisfactory where proper-
                         ly operated.

                3.       The  method can  meet all health and sanitation require-
                         ments, and be aesthetically pleasing.

                4.       The  method is adaptable  to  varying quantities and peak
                         or slack rates.

                5.       The  method is the most economical.

                The  sanitary  landfill method is described  in Section I of Part
Four.

        D.       Existing Disposal Operations

                1.       General.   The existing methods of disposal within the
Study Area  include; sanitary landfills,  semi-sanitary landfills,  open dumps and
open burning dumps.  In addition, there are many small private incineration  fa-
cilities which are considered incidental to the disposal facilities of the commu-
nity.

                         It is recommended that all of the  existing public disposal
facilities  be closed as  soon as the proposed new sanitary landfill facilities  are
ready for service.

                2.       The  City of Urbandale operates a small  completely
nuisance free sanitary landfill in a City Park west of 72nd Street and south of
Interstate No.  80 and No. 35.  This  site is operated primarily for the disposal of
City collected kitchen waste from the dwellings within the City. It also  receives

                                       4-9

-------
some other waste from  City operations and from residents of the  City by appoint-
ment.

                         The  City is operating the site as a  satisfactory method
of disposing of its waste but at a high unit cost.   The high cost is  due to the
relatively little waste that  is being handled.  A piece of heavy equipment and
an operator is used to do the work.   The same operator on a large piece of land-
fill equipment at a large site could handle 100 or 200 times as much material in
the same amount of time.

                         The  cost of operation and tonnage disposed of are esti-
mated to be $10, 000 and 2, 500 tons per year.  At this rate the cost of operation
is $4. 00 per ton which is approximately four times the expected rate at the new
sanitary landfill sites.  It is believed the new sites will be attractive to this City.

                3.       The  Polk County site is located on a relatively small
parcel of leased land adjacent to Four Mile Creek and NE 78th Avenue,  approxi-
mately 11/2  miles  east of 1-35.  Several activities are conducted at  this site.
A trench sanitary landfill is operated for garbage and some other material.
Large items of noncombustible  trash are dumped on an exposed hillside with the
open exposed surface visible from the  road.  Combustible materials such  as
brush,  tree limbs and lumber are burned under the control of the site opera-
tor.  Although open burning is considered objectionable,  this operator  takes
great care to burn in the least offensive manner.  There is also a depression in
the ground in which highly  flammable liquid wastes are burned.   Except for the
burning and exposed trash  on  the hillside,  the site is maintained in a neat and
attractive manner.   The grass is well maintained and the area enclosed in a
suitable fence.   See Part Two for land fill survey information.

                         The  site is operated for the benefit of the residents
and commercial and industrial concerns located  in the unincorporated parts of
Polk  County.   The following fees per load are charged:  pickup trucks, $1.50;
dump  and flat bed trucks etc. ,  $3. 00;  packer trucks $6. 00;  private citizens,
free.  Also special rates are  arranged for unusual wastes.

                         This site,  like the Urbandale site,  is an expensive
operation when considering unit costs.   It is maintained as a necessity but could
be  closed when the new sites are avaik.ble.

                4.       The  Euclid Avenue site is located east of the Des
Moines River on the south side  of Euclid Avenue.  This site  is operated by a pri-
vate individual on leased land.  The  site is  open  to the public upon payment of
a small fee which varies from 25£ per automobile to higher amounts  for larger
loads.

                         The  site is an open burning dump.   Little or no at-
tempt is made to cover material and burning is practiced as a method of vol-
ume reduction.  A landfill survey was  conducted at this site.  Information  is
contained in Part Two of this  report.

                                     4-10

-------
                         Although this operation is a  convenience to the public,
it should not be permitted to operate in its present form.

                5.       The Ankeny landfill is located on the sewage treatment
plant site south of the John  Deere Plant.  The  land is  owned by the City of Ankeny
and open to residents and  commercial and industrial establishments located in
Ankeny and to private haulers collecting waste from within the City.

                         The operation is a semi-sanitary landfill with open
burning under controlled conditions practiced as a volume reducing procedure.
Partial covering is accomplished several times per week, using ashes
waste dirt and dirt taken from the site.  There is  adequate space on the site to
continue in this location.

                         This site could be  converted to a satisfactory sanitary
landfill if the burning was discontinued and the active  face was adequately com-
pacted and covered with earth daily.  In addition,  road improvements, fencing
and site maintenance need to be accomplished, to provide proper access and
appearance.

                         From the site survey, it was determined that this site
receives solid waste at the  rate of approximately  9,000 tons per year.  The
cost of this site operation as reported  by the City is approximately $14, 000 per
year, not including payroll  overhead or land cost. The cost per ton based on
the  incomplete reported cost is  $1. 55.   This cost is 40% higher than the cost
of the recommended public  landfill sites. This higher cost is due to the low
tonnage filled.   There is little which can be done to improve the  economics
and in fact, if the necessary improvements  are made  in the operation the  cost
will increase.   It is  believed that the City of Ankeny would benefit by closing
this  site when the new public sites are  available.

                6.       The West Des Monies site is a collection of three site
operations on the edge of a  sand pit located  southeast  of the C. R. I.  & P.
Railroad at approximately llth Street extended.   The  land is leased from  its
owner for  a nominal annual  fee.   This  facility is used by citizens and commer-
cial and industrial concerns located within the  City and by the City for dis-
posal of collected garbage and other City solid waste.

                         As a regular  practice, trees and combustible liquids
are burned.  Occasionally trash  is also burned.  An attempt is made to keep
garbage separate  from other  materials and  to compact arid cover it as cover
material is available.  There are three basic problems.

                         a.        There is inadequate land at this site to con-
tinue filling.

                         b.        The  site activity can and probably does  con-
taminate the ground water at this location.
                                   4-11

-------
                         c.       There is an inadequate supply of cover ma-
terial available or reasonably accessible to properly conduct a sanitary land-
fill operation.

                         An attempt is made to operate  a semi-sanitary land-
fill site.  However, this  operation is unsatisfactory when compared to proper
sanitary landfill criteria.  The lack of adequate cover material is difficult to
overcome.  In addition, the uncovered materials are a health and litter hazard,
and occasionally catch fire.  Without adequate cover material to  enclose the
daily quantities into cells to prevent the spread of fire,  there are inadequate
quantities to smother a surface  fire.

                         Based on the landfill survey discussed in Part Two,
this site receives solid waste at the rate of approximately 40, 000 tons per
year.  The  cost of operation is approximately $12, 000 per year or $. 30 per
ton. Although this cost is cheaper than that proposed, the operation cannot
be economical if proper standards are observed.

                         It is recommended that  the  site be  closed as soon as the
new proposed sites are available for use.

                7.       The  Des Moines  Site No. 2  is located in a worked out
quarry south and west of SE 30th & Maury Streets.  This site is one of two
operated by the City of Des Moines.  It is open to the general public without
charge.  Materials accepted at this site are restricted to materials such
as building  demolition, broken concrete,  trees and limbs, tires and similar
items.   This site receives approximately  45% of all of the tonnage and 36% of
all the volume of waste,  considering all disposal sites in the entire Study
Area.   The waste consists largely of trees and tree limbs.

                         The  site has little cover material available.  The
cover  used  is hauled to the site in trucks.  The lack  of adequate cover ma-
terial  is compounded by the type of material filled.   One feature  of sanitary
landfilling and specifically compacting the waste  material,  is  that unlike ma-
terials compact better than like materials.  For  example,  1000 rubber tires
or  1000  tree trunks will not compact into  a tight  dense mass.  However, when
mixed together with  several hundred tons  of other materials of different sizes
and shapes  into a heterogeneous mass,it becomes much  easier to  compact.
Smaller items are packed into the  center  part of the  tires  and between the
tree trunks.  Few tree trunks are  actually in contact with each other,  there-
by  eliminating the see-saw problem.

                         At this site large quantities of  earth are required to
pack around the great number of logs to be able to travel over the mass with
a machine.

                          Because this site was a former quarry with standing
ground water above the floor of the pit, the site was  restricted to materials
which  would not contaminate the ground water.  Actually restricting a site to

                                     4-12

-------
 certain materials is difficult to police.  Unauthorized material such as some
 garbage mixed with inert material has been observed at this  site.  Similarly,
 cardboard boxes and other material which will dissolve when inundated are
 also deposited in restricted quantities.

                          This  site was leased at a nominal rate per year and
 placed into service to conserve the limited capacity remaining  at the Des
 Moine s Site  #1.  Operating two sites relatively near each other is expensive
 and wasteful, but in this case necessary.   A great effort is made to operate
 this site in an acceptable manner but the results are  unsatisfactory due to the
 handicap of having to handle homogeneous materials without sufficient quanti-
 ties of cover dirt.  There is also a lack of adequate landfill equipment.  The
 equipment owned by the City is not sufficiently large  or rugged to do the heavy
 job required at this site.   The percent availability is unacceptably low due to
 continuous breakdown.  A track mounted bulldozer rented from a contractor
 has been used at the site,  working side by side with track mounted  dozers
 owned by the City.  The  contractor's  machine which  is a rugged heavy duty
 type has a negligible amount of breakdown.

                          The  site is rapidly filling  and at the current rate will
 be completely filled by 1970.   Part Two contains detailed information obtained
 during the site survey.

                 8.        The  Des Moines  Site No.  1 is located  east of SE 15th
 Street at Harriett Street, on City-owned land.  This site is open to the public
 without charge and accepts all waste materials except tree waste and large
 quantities  of demolition waste which are diverted to Site #2.

                          One  third of the tonnage and approximately 43% of the
 volume of waste from the entire Study Area is received and handled at this  site.
 See Part Two for site survey  information.

                          A few years  ago  this site  was a typical example  of a
 large unregulated burning dump.  It was the type of operation  responsible for
 the poor public image of landfills. In recent years the operation has been im-
 proved and great progress made toward bringing the  site up to a decent stand-
 ard.  The  current status  is far from acceptable but improving rapidly.  Based
 on recommendations submitted in mid-summer  1967,  the  operation has been
 further improved.

                          The  principal problems at this site are the lack  of
 cover  material,  and inadequate equipment.  There is no cover material left
 at the  site, and therefore all cover must be trucked in.  The  City has a fleet
 of 2-1/2 ton dump trucks which are normally used  for street  de-
 partment work.  This is an appropriate size for street use, however,
 hauling cover  material under  "off the roads" conditions  is an abuse of this type
 of equipment and produces a small quantity of material.  A heavy duty 10
to 15 cubic yard truck requires the same driver as a 2-1/2 ton
                                    4-13

-------
truck but will haul much more material.  It is built for the rugged operating
conditions  and on a tonnage hauled basis is cheaper to operate.

                         The City has diverted all of the trucks not being
used for other necessary work to the task of hauling cover for this site.  This
has made a significant improvement in site operations.

                         Fires have been a problem at  this  site for many
years.  Formerly they were purposely  set or allowed as a volume reducing
procedure.  Currently fire prevention is practiced and  great efforts are  made
to extinguish fires that do occur.

                         With more dirt available and cell construction pro-
gressing,  fires are being controlled better than before, but any fire is un-
acceptable.  A proper sanitary landfill  does  not burn at any time.  Any small
fires are quickly  extinguished by smothering or by digging out and smother-
ing. Under present conditions when a difficult  fire  breaks out in deep  layers
of waste, it may burn for weeks before burning itself out or finally being
smothered by the operators.   Fighting such a fire takes all  of the resources
of the operating forces and equipment,  leaving  the disposal  operation unattend-
ed.  With adequate compaction and cover,  fires are  no  problem.

                         From an economical  standpoint, this site should have
been closed when the supply of cover dirt was  exhausted.  Trucking in  large
quantities  of cover dirt  is expensive but under the circumstances  is necessary.
It is recommended that  no attempt should be made to acquire  new landfill sites
until this site is converted to a model sanitary  landfill.  The reasoning and
necessary  improvements, together with financing, are  explained in following
paragraphs concerning interim improvements.

                         Once the new landfill sites  are acquired  and operating,
this site should be closed.  Until that time the site must be  continued in opera-
tion.

                9.       Other Disposal Operations.  Three small disposal
sites are operated by the towns of Carlisle,  Norwalk and Pleasant Hill.  They
are operated primarily  for the use of local residents.  Norwalk and Carlisle
permit  local private haulers to dump domestic  waste collected from their com-
munities.  Pleasant Hill does  not.

                         Pleasant Hill provides an attendant on duty full  time;
Carlisle and Norwalk provide  an attendant part time.  Carlisle and Pleasant
Hill allow  burning of combustible waste as a method of volume reduction.
Cover  is applied approximately once weekly.   Norwalk  buries all  waste,  except
tree wastes, in an open trench which is covered about once  a  month.  No burn-
ing is allowed except for tree  wastes which are burned  on an irregular basis.
                                       4-14

-------
                           All three of these operations, although providing a
 convenience to the local residents, are uneconomical.   In addition,  they all
 have various objectionable features which would be  expensive to correct.  When
 new facilities become available, these three operations should be discontinued.

                           The other communities in the Study Area do not have
 disposal facilities.   They require the private collectors to remove the col-
 lected waste  from the community. Usually the  material is delivered to the
 Des Moines Site No. 1.

        E.     Interim Improvements to Existing Operation.  Improvements
 should  be made in most of the existing disposal operations as soon as possible.
 Although it is recommended that all of the  present facilities be closed when the
 new sanitary landfill sites are in  operation,  the interim period should be used
 to improve the image of landfill sites.   In the previous paragraphs deficiencies
 in the existing sites were discussed.  These deficiencies should be improved
 if financially possible.  Specifically, in the case of  the  two Des Moines Sites,
 the operations should be converted to model sanitary landfills.

              To operate a proper and economical sanitary landfill,  many
 techniques  are required.  Many of these same techniques will be required for
 interim improvements  to existing sites.  Some  of the comments in this
 section are not practical for a small landfill which will be closed, but the  larg-
 est single  factor is an awareness of what is going on and what can be done,
 Municipal  officials  can  learn much by simply taking a close and critical look
 at their facilities.

              It will be necessary to establish new sanitary landfill sites in
 locations where none are presently located.  This will  require public approval.
 At the present time, if  any one of the cities or counties involved in this  study
 were to attempt to establish  a major sanitary landfill operation near a
 developed  area,  there would be immediate public resistance.  This has  been
 experienced in other communities, but need not be the  case.   A course
 of action is recommended which,  if followed,  will substantially improve pub-
 lic acceptance .

              Public reaction to sanitary landfills is generally negative.  This
 is a response resulting from the operation of undesirable public and private
 dumps.  The City of Des Moines and other  communities in the Study Area
 have been  guilty of  operating undesirable dumps for many years.

              Sanitary landfills are not dumps.  There is no burning, smoke,
 litter,  odors, vermin,  unsightliness,  mud or dust.  They are regulated and
 orderly, efficient,  inexpensive and nuisance free.

              It is believed that the public can be convinced only by demon-
 strating to  them,  in their own community,  what a proper facility is like,
 and then making.them aware  of the accomplishment.  The Des Moines Dump
Site No.  1 is better  than it was just a few years ago.
                                     4-15

-------
Burning as a volume reduction method has been discontin-
ued and efforts are being made to extinguish  fires which occur accidently.
The  site has become better organized and more covering  is being done as
more cover material is brought to the site.  The site is being  graded and po-
liced for litter from time to time.  All of these improvements  are a credit
to the current management.

                It will be necessary to continue these improvements until
the complete operation  has been elevated to a model sanitary  landfill.  No
attempt should be made to acquire new land until this has been accomplished.
Once this improvement has been made  every  effort should be made to acquaint
the public with the new operation.

                Normally the  first item to  be accomplished would be to master
plan the ultimate use of the site so required operational development could
be coordinated with future uses.  The 1980  Comprehensive Plan provides for
this  site to be part of the open space and recreation land along both rivers
through the City.  Current  improvements such  as fences, roads,  drainage
and landscaping should be laid out now  for this  ultimate development.

                The interim use of land not currently being filled should be
directed toward the  public open space  use to show that sanitary landfill opera-
tions can be conducted close to public  uses without  being a nuisance.

                The interim improvements necessary to bring the operation
up to sanitary landfill standards are as follows:

                1.        Continue efforts to prevent fires and  promptly ex-
tinguish all which start.  Fires cause  smoke  and are visibly bad publicity in
addition to the air pollution and odor.

                Z.        Consolidate all filling operations into one location
•with one active face.

                3.        Instruct  the operators and foremen in the  proper
operation of a sanitary landfill site.  This will  include the necessary philosophy,
objectives  and goals; compaction techniques;  cell construction; covering;
grading; placement of drift fences for  litter control; fire fighting with cover
dirt and digging out fires;  and traffic controls.

                4.        Build up the roads to improve  their ability to sup-
port traffic in wet weather.  The roads have been improved but they are  in
need of additional improvement.   Dirt and gravel brought to the site can  be
used to raise the subgrade  to  an elevation which will permit drainage of the
surface.  The site has a motor grader  and dozers to do this work.  The road
grade can  be increased a small amount at a time and allow the site traffic to
do the compaction.
                                     4-16

-------
                5.       Establish a traffic pattern and erect signs and fences
to guide the traffic to the place of deposit being used at the time.

                6.       Fine grade the area along both  sides of the perimeter
fence and maintain the  grass in an attractive manner.

                7.       Police the area around the perimeter fence and en-
trance roads for litter.   This  should be  done daily.  Refuse truck crews fi-
nishing early can be  used for this purpose until the routes have  been redesigned
to eliminate  slack time.

                8.       Provide and use portable fencing (snow drift  fencing will
be adequate)  to control blowing litter in the active disposal area and at other
places where necessary.  Pick up litter on the site on  a  continuous basis.

                9.       Eliminate and prohibit salvage operations. A properly
operated site has very  little material accessible to salvagers and salvagers
cause a congestion problem.   It is also dangerous to have salvagers working
in the vicinity of a landfill machine.  On occasion salvagers have been accused
of starting fires  to burn away  paper to expose  salvable metals.  If  salvaging is
eliminated this problem is avoided.

                10.      Spray for insect control and provide poison for rodent
control.

                11.      Establish and enforce complete and meaningful poli-
cies and regulations  concerning sanitary landfill operation.   Make these poli-
cies and regulations  available and known to the operators and to the public.

                12.      Erect attractive and informative signs at the  site
to inform the public and users of  necessary regulations and instructions.

                13.      Make provisions to pave the two entrance  roads to
the landfill site  from SE  14th Street and from Maury Street.  Provide  modern
street lighting along  these entrance streets.

                14.      Clear, grub and fine  grade all of the lots owned by
the City in the vicinity  of the  site.  These lots  are now overgrown with weeds.
Once the lots are fine graded plant them to grass and maintain the appearance.

                15.      Enforce  all zoning and building  ordinances and regu-
lations in the vicinity of the site.

                16.      Provide  adequate cover material to cover the active
face every day.   At least 500 cubic yards of cover will be required each day.
It will be necessary to acquire suitable loading and hauling equipment.
                                    4-17

                17.      Provide more suitable and reliable landfill equip-
ment.

                18.      As areas are covered they should be graded to drain
and planted with grass and kept mowed.

                Many of these items have  been started and some have had
a degree of success.  Also, many of the details such as quantities  of cover
material, crucks and dozers have been discussed in detail with Des Moines
officials together with detailed procedures and cost estimates.  Most of the
items have appeared in interim reports and suggestions as this  study pro-
gre ssed.

                This work must be accomplished now.  The  site is  not econ-
omical to operate.   It must be improved, publicized and used as an example
of what can be done so new sites can be acquired.   Then this site should be
closed for  use as a disposal facility.

       F.       Financing  Interim Improvements.   Currently, the  landfill
operations of the various communities are financed by budgeted amounts
raised through taxes,  with the exception of the Polk County site which is  sup-
ported by Township Tax Levy  along with fees,  and the Euclid Avenue site
which is supported entirely by fees.

                It is not practical for  the various small communities to charge
fees because the policing and collection cost could exceed  the revenue.  In-
terim improvements to the several small sites should be  simple, relatively
inexpensive and paid for out of operating funds.

                The larger sites,  specifically Des  Moines Sites  Nos. 1 and 2
which receive and handle more than 3/4  of the total Study Area waste will re-
quire more funds than are  currently being spent.  Although the Des Moines  landfill
budget for  1967 was in excess of $150, 000, this amount will  be inadequate to make
the necessary improvements and operate the improved facilities, which are
estimated to cost approximately $245, 000  per  year  plus the purchase of $190, 000
worth of new equipment.

                It is believed  that a substantial portion of  these funds should
be raised through a fee system whereby the users of the facility  pay the cost
of operation.  The  details of the cost of operation and equipment and the fee
system and expected revenue are explained in  a letter to the City of Des Moines,
Director of Public  Works  dated January 25,  1968,  and is  included in the Appen-
dix as  Exhibit 4-1.

                It is recommended that a simple fee system be  installed for
the interim period of time  the sites  are to be operated.  This system charges
$1.00 per vehicle for  pickup trucks  and light trailers; and $2. 00 per vehicle
for other trucks.  No  charge would be made for automobiles or  City vehicles.
However, it is recommended that Des Moines  continues to budget an amount

                                    4-18

-------
 equal to the fee the City trucks would have paid if fees were collected on these
 vehicles.  Under the fee system  proposed revenue in the  amount of $Z87, 000
 can be expected.

                 Since the City of De s Moines maintains an "open door" policy,
 allowing anyone  to use their facilities, the charge of a small fee as proposed
 is reasonable.

                 The concept of charging a  small fee has been discussed with
 the private haulers in the Study Area.  Although this exact fee was not contem-
 plated at the time, the general attitude was one of acceptance.  They expressed
 a desire for road and cover improvements which would reduce  their costs  of
 repair to tires and power trains.

                 It is believed the fee will  be accepted by  the  majority of the
 users without protest when they  see that this fee will continue the present im-
 provements and  extend  them to higher standards.

       G.       Selecting General Areas for New Sanitary Landfill Sites.

                 1.      General.   Two general  areas have been selected for
 sanitary landfill  sites as shown in Figure  4-1.   One  site would be located in
 each general area.  The northeast  site would serve that area which is north
 and east of the time line, and the southwest site would serve  that area which is
 south and west of the time line.
                        The general areas were selected using the following
 criteria:
area.
                        a.
       Minimum driving time from centroid to site
 sanitary landfilling.
b.      Present zoning and land use compatible with


c.      Accessible  to major highways or arterial streets.

d.      Economical land cost.
                        e.      General topography, including terrain,  ground
cover,  drainage, ground water  and major subsurface conditions.
                       f.
       Suitable earth cover available.
                2.     jlentroids.   Centroids were computed to determine the
theoretical locations from which the waste was being originated.   These cen-
troids were computed for all of the waste being sent to each  site  which was sur-
veyed.  They are  also shown in Figure 4-1  and labeled "Waste Centroid -
(name of site) Disposal Site".   A centroid was also computed for
                                    4-19
    453-956 O - 72 - 11

-------
all of the wastes from the entire Study Area.   This  c entroid is shown on the fig-
ure and labeled "Waste Centroid Total Study Area". The ideal location for a
single disposal activity would be at this Total Study Area Centroid.  It represents
the theoretical origin of all the waste.  This location would represent the single
point which would have the least amount of hauling.

                            There is no land within several miles of this centroid
that would be suitable for a single large sanitary landfill site, therefore it was neces-
sary  to consider multiple sites.  (See Exhibit 4-2 for cost discussion).

                            An attempt was made to find two general locations for
potential site development which would  best meet the criteria and be on opposite
sides of the community with the centroid  located at  a point between them. The
two recommended general areas meet the criteriavery well.  They are on oppos-
ite  sides of the Study Area with the centroid on a line almost exactly halfway
between them.

                            The time line as drawn on Figure 4- 1 represents  a
locus of points, each of which is approximately equal in driving time to the two
recommended general areas.   The time line divided the Study Area into two areas,
one is the area which would contribute waste to the  northeast site, and the other
is the area which would contribute waste  to the southwest site.  Computer Pro-
gram "G" was used to determine  the  centroids of the waste originating in each
of the two  areas.  The  "Waste Centroid New Southwest Area" and "The  Waste
Centroid New Northeast Area" are shown in Figure 4-1.  These  centroids re-
present the theoretical center of waste  origin that would contribute waste to the
southwest and northeast sites respectively.

               3.            Driving Time.   The driving time from the  southwest
centroid of waste in  the new southwest area, to the  recommended southwest gener-
al area where a site is to be  located, is approximately 13. 6 minutes.   This  is
based on 45 mph on the Interstate  and 20  mph on city streets.  The time was fig-
ured  from the centroid at 37th Street and Bolton Drive, to the intersection of 1-35
and Iowa 90.

                            The driving time from  the northeast centroid at East
14th and Osceola  Streets, to  the recommended northeast general area at the inter-
section of 1-80 and U.S.  65,  is 10.5  minutes.

                            These very favorable driving times are the result of
locating the  recommended general site  areas in places which have ready access
to the Interstate Highway System.

               4.            Zoning and Land Use.  The northeast general area is
presently used for agricultural purposes.  This land is located in an unincorporated
area  under the zoning jurisdiction of Polk County.  A substantial portion of the
area  is zoned agricultural and has provision for establishing a sanitary landfill
under a permit provision.
                                          4-20

-------

-------
                      The southwest general area is partly in Dallas County and
partly within the City of West Des Moines.  That part in Dallas  County is zoned
Residential,  although the land is  used primarily for agricultural purposes.   That
part within the City of West Des Moines  should  be reviewed with City officials
due to pending zoning changes.  The current use is primarily agricultural.

               5.      Acce ssibility.  Both recommended general site  areas
have excellent access from 1-80, 1-35  and I-Z35 as well as U. S. and Iowa high-
ways  and major arterial streets.  With major thoroughfares  to carry the traffic,
the problem of increased heavy traffic over local streets is avoided.   Some im-
provement in local roads in the immediate vicinity of the sites will probably be
required; however,  in these two areas such improvement will be minimal.

               6.      Land Cost.  In both areas, the land is  now used for agri-
cultural purposes and is not highly developed.   The northeast area  is generally
flat land now planted to row crops.  Land in this area is estimated  to cost approxi-
mately $1, ZOO per acre.  The southwest area is generally hilly with some land in
row crops,  some in pasture and some  in rough  brush and thicket.   The gully land
which  would be  suitable for sanitary landfilling  is estimated to cost approximate-
ly $1,000 per acre.

                      Using these estimated prices for land, when  estimating
the cost of sanitary landfilling, the land  cost is  less  than 10% of the total cost.
These costs appear economical.

               7.      General Topography.  The northeast general area is  rela-
tively  flat farm land.  There appears to  be no serious problems with drainage of
the general  terrain,  ground cover or ground water.   There are no subsurface
conditions known to be detrimental.  This general area could be used for multi-
ple layers of refuse filled in the usual  manner.

                      The southwest general area has rough  land which could be
filled using  gully techniques.   The surface drainage would require relocation;
however, this could be accomplished at minimal expense during the initial devel-
opment of a site and  while removing earth for cover.  There are no problems
anticipated from ground water or ground cover.   There  are  no subsurface con-
ditions known to be detrimental.
  /
               8.      Earth for  Cover Material. Both general areas have abund-
ant supplies of earth which would be suitable for cover materials.

               9-      Capacity Requirements for Each Disposal Site.  The  time
line described in preceding paragraph  2 divided the Study Area into two general
areas.  Comp uter'Program "G" determined the amount  of waste which would
originate in each of the two areas.  The northeast area would receive approxi-
mately 62% of the waste.   The southwest area would receive  38% of the waste.
Because the growth of the  area and the future waste quantities will  be develop-
ing generally westward,  these percentages were adjusted to 60% and 40% respect-
ively.

                                    4-21

-------
                      The 1968 through 1987 accumulation of waste is estimated
to be  15,000 acre ft.   Therefore, the following capacities are required:

                      NE Site          15, 000 x . 60 = 9, 000 ac. ft.
                      SW Site          15, 000 x . 40 = 6, 000 ac. ft.

       H.     Selecting Specific Parcels  of Land.   This  report does  not show
specific parcels  of land,  located in the recommended general areas,  which are
recommended for development into sanitary landfill sites.  Specific parcels
should be selected after detailed site selection analyses based  on the following
items:.

               1.      Amount of land required.
              2.      Availability of cover material.
               3.      Cost of the land.
              4.      Subsurface conditions,  including type of  soil and ground
                              water.
               5.      Cost of initial development.
              6.      Cost of annual development.
              7.      Cost of operation.
               8.      Potential use  or sale of filled land.

              There are specific sites which have been considered,  that can
be properly developed and used.  These specific sites were used as a basis  to
show  how a flat site could be developed in the northeast general area and how a
gully  site could be developed in the southwest general area.  The two sites des-
cribed in the next sections of this report  are included as illustrations of devel-
opment and to determine the amount of land required and the cost estimates,
used for  preliminary planning. It is not intended that the final development  of
either site be exactly as shown.   The details of development will depend on engi-
neering designs for the specific parcels of land actually purchased after detailed
site evaluations.

       I.       Development  of a Site in the Northeast Area.

               1.      General.  The land in this area is  generally flat and there-
fore suitable for development using  multiple layers of waste.   The cover mater-
ial can be taken from the land in a cut and cover type operation.  The site must
accommodate 9, 000 acre ft.  of waste during the  20-year period from 1968 through
1987.

               2.      Amount of Land Required.  The amount of land required
depends on  the amount of waste and  the depth  of fill, plus additional land for
roads, setback,  sight screening and landscaping and operational spaces.   It is
assumed that the land purchases will require  purchasing full parcels of land
which would be not less than  40 acre increments.   Therefore,  in addition  to the
land actually needed, it may be necessary to purchase additional land to take
an even parcel.
                                    4-22

-------
                      This type of site can be developed for multiple layers.
We have selected a total depth of fill of 50 feet consisting  of 5 lifts of 10 feet
each.  It is estimated that 20% additional land will be required for roads,  set-
back,  sight screening, etc.  The total  land purchase is estimated as follows:

                      a.       Land for  filling

                                     9,000ac. ft. -5- 50 ft.  =       180 acres

                      b.       Roads, etc.

                                     180 acres x 20%                36

                                              Subtotal             216

                      c.       Additional land for  even parcel
                                     purchases                      24

                                 Total  Land to be Purchased      240 acres

                      Based on a purchase of 240 acres,  we have assumed the
land would consist of a quarter-section (160 acres),  plus a half of a  quarter-
section (80 acres); measuring one-half mile (2,640  ft.),  by three-quarters of
a mile (3, 960 ft. ).

               3.      Initial Development of the Site.  Before any operations
can commence, the site must be designed and developed.   We would recommend
that the initial development be done by  a contractor  following plans and specifi-
cations prepared by an  engineer.   The initial development would consist of the
following items:

                      a.       Scale house,  gate house and  scale equipment.
                      b.       Equipment and personnel facilities.
                      c.       Agency headquarters.
                      d.       Water supply and mains.
                      e.       Fencing
                      f.       Roads and drainage.
                      g.       Grading and landscaping.
                      h.       Yard and street lighting.

                      In  the cost estimates which follow,, the initial  site devel-
opment is estimated to cost approximately  $200, 000. Some of  the initial site
development is shown in  Figure 4-2, which illustrates the development  of a flat
site into a  sanitary landfill.

                      The items listed above are self-explanatory or discussed
elsewhere  except for the grading and landscaping.  One major grading item would
be the construction of a sight  screening berm  around that part of the site which
will be filled first.  As filling progresses,  the berm will  be extended.   The

                                     4-23

-------
purpose of the berm is to completely screen the site operations from view
from the road.  It will also act as a windbreak to aid litter control.  The berm
should be planted to grass or  some suitable ground cover.  The berm and the
area between the  berm and  the property line should be landscaped with trees
and  shrubs.   The construction of the  berm and the landscaping are necessary
parts of the entire operation and add substantially to the public acceptance.
The  expense of these items  are very  small when compared to the  operational
cost.
               4.      Operation of the Site. The amount of earth needed for
daily cover, final cover,  berms and roads is approximately 4 1/2 million cubic
yards over  a  period of 20 years.   Taking this  earth from the  fillable area re-
quires a cut of approximately 13. 4'.

                      Starting at Elevation -13. 4 ft. and adding 10 ft. of waste
and  8-inches  of cover for each lift,  the approximate levels for the fills  would be
as follows:

               Lift                   Bottom         Fill
               First                 -13.4         +10.7
               Second                -  2. 7         +10. 7
               Third                 +  8. 0         +10. 7
               Fourth                +18. 7         +10. 7
               Fifth                  +29.4         +10.6
               Final Cover           +40. 0         + 3. 0    -

                      The landfilling can start at Elevation -13. 4 in the area
where the initial development earth was excavated.   As this  space is being filled,
the cover dirt  required is excavated from the immediately adjacent space, thus
creating additional area with a bottom elevation of - 13. 4.

                      The filling should be from the bottom of the lift with trucks
dumping at the foot of the active face and the dozer  compacting and pushing the
waste up from  the bottom.  This bottom dumping has advantages over dumping at
the top and pushing the waste down the  slope.

                      The active face should be between 150 and 200 feet wide
depending on the traffic.  As the first lift is filled over  an  area approximately
200' wide x 1,000' long,  the top surface of the first lift  becomes available for
the second lift.   When this first 200'  x  1, 000' pass of the first lift is complete,
the second lift  should start.   The second lift can be filled, to an elevation of +8. 0'.
It  starts at the same place the first one started and can cover the same 200' x
1,  000' except for maneuvering room  needed around the  edges.  By the time the
second lift is complete to the extent it has covered as much of the first lift as
possible,  the filling can return to the -13. 4' elevation in the space excavated
while the first  and second lifts were being filled.  This  second pass on the level
of  the first lift will widen the top surface of the first lift to the extent  that addi-
tional area is available for the second pass of the second lift.  Once this second
pass of the second lift is  completed,  the third lift can be started on top of the
second lift.
                                     4-24

-------
                      The process of building lift upon lift and then returning to
the bottom to widen the base is necessary to build up to the top of the fifth lift as
soon as possible.   It is at this +40'. 0' level that the  final earth cover is placed.
This cover material amounts to approximately 1/4  of the total earth moved.
Therefore, it is desirable to reach the  top as  soon  as possible so excavated ma-
terial from the -13.4' level can be brought directly to the +40. 0  level without re-
handling.

                      In Figure 4-2,  the site operation is shown.  The first view
shows  the site after  the first few months of operation.   The first pass of the  first
lift has been completed.  The first pass of the second lift is in progress  while
additional cut is being made on the -13. 4' level.

                      The second view  shows  the site after approximately one
year.  The +40. 0'  level has been reached.  The  operation from  this  stage until
the completion of this area consists of widening the base and  adding additional
lifts on top until the  area has all been filled to elevation +40. 0'.

                      The third view shows this  area filled and the operation
moved to  the adjacent area on the opposite side of the fill road.

                      The fill road leading from the scale and entrance area to
the fill area  would be built in the initial development to an elevation of +10. 0.
As  the third  lift was placed, the  road would be raised to reach the top of the
third lift at elevation +18. 7' for access to this level,  when the fourth lift was
started.   It would be raised again during the fourth lift and again during the fifth
and last lift.

       J.     Development of a  Site  in the Southwest Area.

               1.      General.   The  land in this area is hilly containing several
large gullies which could be developed  using typical gully filling methods.  Cover
material can be taken from the gully bottom and sides in a combination cut and
cover and borrow type operation.  The site must accommodate 6,000 acre feet
of waste during the ZO-year period from 1968 through 1987.

              2.      Amount of Land Required.  The amount of land required
depends on the depth of fill plus additional land for  roads, setback, drainage,
sight screening and landscaping and operational  space.   Since the  gullies are
irregular in  shape it will probably be necessary to  purchase the parcels of land
which  surround and contain the gullies.   The depth  of fill varies from one gully
to another and from  point to point within a gully.  The volume that can be filled
is determined by  selecting a specific gully,  laying  out the final  top surface con-
tours and computing the volume between the original ground and the final cover.

                      The  site illustrated in Figure 4-3 shows the necessary
land which is approximately 282  acres.   The principle gully on the site is shown
filled to a top elevation of 990 ft. ,  and  can contain  4, 000 acre feet.  The auxili-
ary gully above and to the right is also filled to a top  elevation of 990 ft. and can

contain an additional 2, 000 acre feet.

               3.      Initial Development of the Site.   Before any operation tan
commence, the site must be designed and developed.   The procedure and items
of work would be  similar to that described for the site in the northeast area,
except the details of the  design would be completely different.  The major site
screening could be accomplished by  landscaping.  During the initial years while
the landscaping was maturing,  the operation would be hidden from view deep in
the gully.  An initial berm would be  constructed across the lower end of the site
and landscaped,  but this berm would be limited in length and height.

                      Although the berm construction would be less than that
shown for the northeast  site,  the temporary road construction  would be more
extensive.  Roads would be required for access from the permanent perimeter
road to the active face of the fill.

                      Details of the.  site development were  not worked out to the
extent shown  for the northeast site.  The costs were assumed to be similar and
the same $200,000 estimate  was used for initial development of this  site.

               4.      Operation of the Site.   The earth for  cover can be taken
from the  bottom and side walls of the gull\  as the work progresses.  The amount
of cut must be calculated to cover the many lifts which will be  made plus  the final
cover on  top of the completed fill.   The calculation must be based on the final
design which  will vary depending on  which specific site is selected.

                      The great depth of fil] in this type of  site has a distinct
advantage over a site filled to a 10 to 15 foot  depth which is commonly used, due to
a reduced volume of required final cover material.  The final cover is recommend-
ed to be approximately  31/2  feet thick compared to a daily cover of approximate-
ly 8-inches thick.  If a  single lift were used it would require a. final cover.  If
two lifts were used the  final  cover requirement would be cut in half.   Similarly,
each additional lift reduces the percentage of final  cover per unit volume  filled.
This is also true for the five  lift flat site proposed for the: northeast area.

                      Filling should start at the upper end of the gully and be
worked down  some convenient distance.  The second lift should be filled oil the
top of the  first,  and  the  third on top  of the second in a manner  similar to  the fill-
ing of the  flat site for the northeast area.   Filling  from  the upper end of the  gully
allows surface water in  the form of rain or snow to drain away from the fill.
This is a very important feature which must be observed.   When necessary,  the
filling can resume at the first level and be continued for another distance to give
working and maneuvering room on the second and higher lifts.   The process  of
extending  the lowest lifts and then extending each higher lift should be repeated
until the final contour or top of the completed fill is reached.

                      Once the principle gully is filled in, the  operation can be
moved to the  auxiliary gully and started over again.

       K.      Sanitary Landfill Cost Estimates.

               1.      General.  The itemized estimated cost for the two recom-
mended sanitary landfills are presented in Table 4-4.  The following paragraphs
will discuss and, where necessary,  explain each major line item presented for
consideration.   Estimated costs are based on current prices and wages.  It will
be necessary to refine these costs prior to actual implementation of the oper-
ations.

                      These estimated costs are based on each site being open
for operation from 0800 to  1900 hours, 6 days per week, Holidays excepted.
They  are also based on filling the  1968 estimated quantities.

               2.      Basic Cost Data.

                      a.      Land Costs.  These costs were developed from
the estimated land  requirements for the two landfill sites, as explained in the
preceding Sections I and J.   Information from the County Assessor's Office
and from real estate brokers and informal investigation of land prices for the
selected general areas provided the  estimated land costs.

                      b.      Initial  Site Development.   These estimated costs
were  developed by  analyzing the required physical developments for placing  the
northeast site in readiness  for  operation.

                      c.      Annual Site Maintenance and Development.  This
estimated cost is the expected general maintenance necessary for the upkeep
of the two sites and required annual  expansion development.

                      d.      Equipment Purchase.  This estimated cost is for
the equipment recommended for the  operation of the two sites.  The required
equipment is itemized in the following line Item #5 and is a one-time expendi-
ture for the initial  procurement of equipment.  The Agency may wish to lease
existing equipment from a member community and use that equipment until it
has been fully amortized.  The funds included in this line item would be held
until the equipment was amortized, and then used to purchase the initial replace-
ment  equipment which would not be leased but would be owned by the Agency.

                      e.      Equipment Maintenance,  Operation and Amorti-
zation Costs.   These estimated costs are for the maintenance,  operation (ex-
cluding  labor) and amortization of  the  required equipment for the two sites.
These costs are based on the following operating conditions:

                             (1)     Each site  works one bulldozer, 15 hrs.  per
                                    day or 4,600 hrs.  per year.  Two dozers,
                                    plus one spare required,  or  3,060 hrs.  per
                                    year per dozer.
                             (2)     One self-loading scraper,  and one road
                                    grader, shared by both sites,  2,080 hours
                                    per unit per year.
                             (3)     One tractor/mower,  and one truck, shared
                                    by both sites.

                             Included in the equipment hourly rate for this line
item is the estimated amortization of each piece of equipment.  This amortiza-
tion will  in effect prepay the cost of replacement by establishing an equipment
escrow fund  to be used with trade-in equipment for necessary replacements.

                      f.      Labor.  These are the estimated costs for per-
sonnel to operate the required equipment and facilities of the  two sites, ex-
clusive of the management categories in the Metro Agency.  Wage  rates in-
clude benefit requirements.

                      g.      Agency Headquarters and Repair Facilities.
These costs  are  for the facilities and equipment necessary to  operate the
Agency's management and administration offices and repair shops  for both the
disposal  and collection services.  The actual estimated cost has been arbitrari-
ly  prorated on a  basis of 50% for each service.

                      h.      Miscellaneous Expense,  Overhead and Contingen-
cies.  This  is  the estimated cost for miscellaneous expenses and contingencies,
as well as general operating overhead for  the Agency services,  including wages
for management  and administration of the  Agency.

              3.     Annual Costs, 2 Sanitary Landfills.  The following annual
cost calculations are based on the itemized requirements presented in Table 4-4,
in which some expenditures are one-time initial development expenses and the
remaining are annual reoccurring expenses.  The one-time expenses  are as-
sumed to be financed through the sale of bonds, repayable at 4. 5% interest over
20 years.

               5.      Quantity Calculations  for Unit and Total Costs.  The fol-
calculations were established from information in Table 2-10, and will be used
in developing the unit and total operation costs for the 2 sanitary landfill sites.

                      d.     1st year,  1968,  reduced volume

                            When estimating the total tonnage for 1968, it was
assumed that much of the on site disposal will be discontinued and sent to the pub-
lic  sanitary landfill sites.  This assumption will be reasonably correct if exten-
sive anti-air pollution and open burning ordinances  are  enacted and vigorously
enforced.

                            With the exception of the Euclid Avenue private
dump site and the Polk County landfill site, the public sites are operated free of
charge to the users.  Once a fee is charged, some of the material being  delivered
to these  sites will  be diverted  to other disposal.  This is particularly true of the
inert materials, such as  dirt,  sand,  rock and broken pavement,  which can be used
to fill low land in town without  creating a nuisance.   The extent of this  diversion
cannot be accurately predicted, but some provisions must  be made to account for
this material when predicting revenue requirements.  It has been assumed that
this diverted material and the amount of on  site  disposal which will temporarily
continue as on site disposal will amount to 25% of the total.  Therefore ,  for fee
purposes,  assume  the material delivered to the sanitary landfill  sites will be 75%
of the estimated total.

               1968 estimated quantity              717  ac. ft.     655, 000 tons
               1968 reduced quantity @ . 75         538  ac. ft.     490, 000 tons

                     6.     Unit and Total Costs of Operation for 2 Sites.  The
following calculations establish unit and total costs  of operation for the 2 sites.

                            Part of the cost of operation of the disposal facilities
are fixed costs which do not vary with the amount of material  disposed  of.  The
remainder of the costs are directly proportional to  the amount of material.  Be-
cause of these fixed and variable costs, the unit cost of  operation will vary with
the amount of material.

                        a.    First Year,  1968, 717 acre feet or 655, 000 tons.

                        Fixed Costs    $238, 500 + 7 17 ac.  ft.  = $333/ac. ft.
                        Variable Costs $335, 140 + 717-ac.  ft.  = $467/ac. ft.
                        Total          $573,640                $800/ac.ft.

                        $573,640 + 655,000 tons   =       $. 88/ton

                        b.    First year, 1968, reduced quantity, 538 acre feet
                                                        or 490, 000 tons.

                        Fixed Costs                            $238, 500
                        Variable Costs 538 ac. ft.  x $467         $251, 246
                                                               $489,746

                        $489,746 + 538 ac. ft.     =      $910/ac. ft.
                        $489, 746 -t- 490, 000 tons   =      $1.00/ton

                        c.    Average year,  753 acre feet or 652,000 tons.

                        Fixed Costs                            $238,500

                        $590,200 + 753 ac. ft.      =      $784/ac. ft. ; or $. 49/CY
                        $590,200 + 652,000 tons   =      $.91/ton

                        $646,700 + 874 ac. ft.      =      $740/ac. ft.
                        $646,700 + 741,000 tons   =      $.87/ton

              7.      Bond Debt Service Reserve.  Bond buyers insist the rev-
enue be higher than the theoretical amount required to meet debt service pay-
ments.   This extra revenue is known as debt service reserve or premium.  In
this estimate it is  based  on 40% of the debt service and is equal  to . 40 x $98, 500,
of$39i400.  It is not actually a cost but is a necessary item in calculating rev-
enue.
                                   4-32

-------
                      The debt service reserve is a fixed amount, but the unit
 cost of this reserve varies with the total tonnage as follows:

                      1st year,  1968,   $39,400 + 655,000 tons    -    $.06/ton
                      1st year,  1968,
                      Reduced Volume, $39, 400 + 490, 000 tons    =    $.08/ton
                      Average year,    $39, 400 •*• 652, 000 tons    =    $. 06/ton
                      20th yeai ,  1987,  $39, 400 -s- 741, 000 tons    =    $.05/ton

               8.      Summation of Unit Costs and Required Revenue
                                   Operation   Debt Service    Total Unit Cost
                                   Cost $/Ton  Reserve Cost       $/Ton
                                   	     $/Ton       	

               (1)  1968             $ . 88    +     $.06      =     $ . 94
               (2)  1968,  Reduced
                         Volume    $1.00    +     $.08      =     $1.08
               (3) Average Year    $ .91    +     $.06      =     $ . 97
               (4)  1987             $ . 87    +     $.05      =     $ . 92

        L.      Rates for Recommended Disposal Fees.  The disposal fee recom-
mended i'oi  financing purposes,  is based on $1. 08 per ton which is the highest
unit cost established in the preceding calculations.  This  unit cost does not repre-
sent the highest dollar  requirement because it is based on reduced tonnage.   If
tne reduced tonnage is  realized, the dollar requirement will be adequate.  If the
actual tonnage received proves to be higher than the amount used to calculate the
unit cost, the total dollar requirement will be greater than that which is predicted
In this case, the increased tonnage will produce more than enough revenue to pay
the cost of disposing the additional material,  since the  unit cost was based on the
more expensive operation,  due to the reduced tonnage situation.

               We recommend the  disposal fee rate be set at $1. 10 per ton,  with
a $.75 minimum disposal charge.

         M.    Use of Completed Sanitary  Landfill Sites.  Once completely filled,
sanitary landfill sites can be used  for a variety of purposes.  It is necessar>,  ow-
ever to understand the  nature of a  fill site when  planning other uses.  The sites
will settle over a period of time therefore improvements  built upon solid waste
fills must be either  compatible with settlement or the foundations must penetrate
the fill into  firm  ground below the  fill.  Many successful  structures have been
built on fills using light buildings and floating foundations.  Also many r.eavy
structures have been built or piles penetrating through  the fill.

               The sites will produce some gasses, normally methane, due  to the
biological decomposition of the organic material in the  fill.  These gasses are toxic
and explosive when confined under  the proper conditions.   Many  successful
structures and other improvements have been constructed where the gas problem
has been properly handled.

                                    4-33

-------
               Generally completed landfills have been used for open space
purposes  such as parks and recreation areas.

               Normal improvements associated with these uses such as pave-
ments,  shelter houses, etc,  can be designed for landfills.

               The amount of settlement and the amount of gas produced, and
the time functions of each vary with many factors.  The density of the fill,  the
type and quantity of cover material, moisture, total depth of fill, materials in
the fill, and others all play a role.  For rough planning purposes it can be as-
sumed that  a fill will  settle approximately 20% over a  period of several years.

               In the case of the  Northeast site where  the total depth  of filled
material is  50 feet, the first lift will probably be reduced to  80%  of its former
depth by the time the  top lift is placed due to the weight of the superimposed
upper lifts,   Additional settlement will take place slowly due to the great depth
and lack of  moisture from the top.  (assuming of course there is  no contact
with ground water).  Each additional lift will also be consolidated by  the lift
above except for the top lift which will  only receive a final cover  of 3 feet of
earth.

               The elevations of  the five lifts  shown in Paragraph 1,4 are simpli-
fied for illustration.

               The settlement of the lower lifts will change the actual elevations
to some extent.  Part of the  settlement is anticipated in the  fact that  63,4 feet of
material (50 feet of waste and 13,4 feet of dirt) is placed in  56,4  feet of depth
(-13,4 to +43.0)  except for the material used  for berms and roads.  The actual
final elevation at the time of placing the final  cover would probably be less than
43.0 feet.   This  elevation within a period  of years could be expected  to drop sev-
eral more feet.

               Planners in the community are cautioned to take special notice of
the rate of  completion of finished filled land,  When a  landfill is conducted using
only one or two lifts the rate of completion of filled land is  many  times greater
than the landfills contemplated in this report, where many lifts are contem-
plated.  They may wish to concentrate  efforts on the land not being filled for
the first 10  years, and then devote their efforts toward use of completed por-
tions .

               In the  case  of the  Southwest site the  Primary Area  shown in Fig-
ure 4-3 will be worked for years before completion; however at the same time
the Auxiliary Area will remain idle and could be placed into some interim use.

               At both sites the unused land could be leased  for agricultural
purposes  until needed for filling.

PART FIVE  - THE METROPOLITAN SOLID WASTE AGENCY

       A.     General.  The formation of a single municipal type organization,
responsible for  the collection and disposal of all solid waste generated within
the Des Moines  Metropolitan Area has been proposed in previous sections of this
report.  A summary of the advantages to the total community in the operation of
such an organization are as follows:

       1.     Adequate and uniform collection  service provided throughout the
              area  at the most economical costs.

       2.     More  efficient use of manpower and equipment due to consolida-
              tion of collection routes on an area basis rather than following city
              limits.

       3.     The smaller communities will enjoy collection and disposal ser-
              vices  at a unit cost comparable to the larger cities.

       4.     Concentration of all  disposal operations in a few economical and
              properly located and operated sites; rather than many expensive
              and poorly run sites scattered throughout the area.

       5.     Relieve  local authorities of the administrative and operational
              problems  of running collection and disposal  departments.

              The collection and disposal of solid waste is not the  single problem
of any one city,  town or county in the area.  Sanitation problems, ground water
contamination, air pollution, and wasteful uses of land,  result from improper
solid waste practices.  As the population continues to increase,  the need for pro-
fessionally managed  collection and  disposal facilities will become more acute.
It  is proposed that the establishment of a Metropolitan Solid Waste  Agency ap-
pears to be the most efficient and practical approach to this problem.

       B.     Legal Basis.  Legal authority for the establishment  of such an
Agency presently  exists under the provision of  Chapter 28E,  Code  of Iowa, 1966.
This Chapter passed by the 61st General Assembly of Iowa  in 1965, provides
in part that units of  Federal, State  or local government, may exercise jointly
any powers,  privileges or authority, that they are authorized to exercise in-
dependently.  This statute is commonly referred to as the Intergovernmental
Cooperation  Act.

              Included in Appendix Exhibit 5-1, is a proposed form of an
intergovernmental agreement applicable  to all cities, towns and counties  in the
Study Area.  Adoption of this agreement  by two or more (preferably all)  of the
governing  bodies within the area is the first step toward the comprehensive area
wide approach to the handling of solid waste.  The agreement has been prepared
in accordance with the  provisions of Chapter 28E, and has been reviewed and
approved by  local municipal legal authorities.
                                       5-1

-------
       C.     Formation of the Agency.  It is recommended that the Agency be
established as an independent entity, governed by a policy making Board, com-
prised of elected representatives of each member city, town or county.  Each
member jurisdiction would have one representative on the Board,  and each rep-
resentative would have one vote for each 50, 000 of population or fraction thereof,
residing in the area he represents.  Establishment of the Board on this basis
would have the following advantages:

               1.      The Board would function with  real authority since indi-
                      vidual members would represent and speak directly for
                      their respective city and town councils,  and county boards
                      of supervisors.

               2.      Feedback to the  member jurisdictions would be accomplished
                      by having direct representation on the Board.

               3.      Limiting each jurisdiction to one member on the Board
                      would prevent the membership of the Board from be-
                      coming too large to function effectively as a policy making
                      body.

               4.      Weighting the vote of each member on a population basis
                      would provide a  fair method of recognizing the population
                      differences between the member  jurisdictions.

               The length of the term of membership on the Board should be de-
termined when the By-Laws for the Board are initially  drawn up.  Provisions
should be made to assure continuity on the Board,  taking into account the vari-
ations in the ordinances of the member jurisdictions  regarding length of office of
elected officials.

               The broad purposes of the Agency as outlined in the proposed
"Articles of Agreement" are as follows:

               1.      To provide for the efficient and economical, collection
                      and disposal of all solid waste  produced or generated
                      within the metropolitan area of Des  Moines.

               2.      To promote through good practice, effective means for
                      reducing or preventing the contamination and pollution
                      of the land, water and air resources of the metropolitan
                      area.

               3.      To provide for a self-supporting,  independent organization,
                      equipped with sufficient manpower and facilities  to ade-
                      quately perform Items 1 and 2.

FIOURE    5-1

-------
              A proposed organizational structure for the Agency is shown on
Figure 5-1.  This chart indicates the flow of authority from the elected munici-
pal and county officials, to the Agency Board  and the director.  The operations
of the Agency would be divided into three main functions, as shown on the chart;
refuse collection, refuse disposal and administrative services.

              The director would  be responsible  for the  administration and
operation of the Agency,  under policies set  up and adopted by the Board.  This
is a top level position requiring experience  in public works management,  engi-
neering and public  financing.

              The assistant director shall have qualifications similar to that of
the director.  The  superintendents  in charge of collection and disposal should
have public works backgrounds or  considerable experience  in refuse collection
and disposal or  similar qualifying  experience.

              Professional staff services such as legal,  engineering, planning
and research  could be provided by full time employees  or by consultants.  This
determination should be made by the Board  and the director in the development
of the work program for the Agency.  Possibly the Agency may be able to utilize
personnel employed by member  communities  for these  specialized services.

              It is believed that the majority of jobs in the collection and dis-
posal divisions can be filled by absorbing qualified personnel from existing
municipal refuse agencies.

In-service training programs should be established, particularly in the refuse
disposal division, to adequately train personnel at the two landfill sites in the
methods and procedures recommended in Part Four of this report.

              In addition,  provisions  should be made to  guarantee that transfer-
ring employees  retain their basic job benefits, including seniority, vacation ac-
cruals and retirement credits.

       D.     Operation of the Agency.  It is  proposed that the Agency be operated
in a manner similar to a public utility, responsible  to the Agency Board rather
than any one municipality or county.  It should have authority to operate independ-
ently of city limits or county lines provided the city or  county is  an Agency mem-
ber.

              The Agency will be  able to function most efficiently and economic-
ally if all 14 governmental jurisdictions in the metropolitan area are  participating
members.  However,  this is not an absolute necessity.   It is possible, econ-
omically, for any two of the communities to form the Agency, although the effect
of this would be to  leave many of the area problems unsolved
                                      5-:

-------
               Basically,  the Agency will provide two types of service for the
area; refuse disposal and refuse collection, as follows:

               1.      Refuse disposal - Two Agency owned or leased, managed
and operated landfill sites will be open to anyone wishing to dispose of solid
waste.  The description and location and operation of the landfill sites have pre-
viously been discussed in Part Four.  Each vehicle other than automobiles will
be  charged a disposal fee, based upon the weight of the refuse.

                      It is recommended that private individuals using automo-
biles  be allowed to use the landfill sites without charge.  A proposed disposal
ordinance  has been prepared and is  included in Appendix Exhibit 5-2.

               Z,      Refuse Collection - The Agency will  contract with each
member jurisdiction to provide refuse collection service.  The  contract will in-
clude the method of determining the  actual cost,  the type of service,  frequency
of service  and other  related items.  It is recommended that each member juris-
diction  adopt a refuse collection ordinance, consistent with collection require-
ments of the Agency.  A proposed collection ordinance has been prepared and is
included in Appendix Exhibit 5-3.  The description of the recommended refuse
collection  service is described in Part Three.

                      Initially, a problem  will exist in providing collection ser-
vice in  the unincorporated areas of the counties.  Statutory authority for  county
refuse collection is  presently not available.  It is recommended that county offic-
ials request such legislation during the 1969 session of the legislature.   Until such
legislation is available,  it is  believed that  collection service can be provided to
most  unincorporated areas on a voluntary basis.

        E.      Financing

               1.      Revenue  Bonds,  Initial capital investments and annual
operating revenue will be  required for both collection and disposal service.  It
is recommended that the  initial capital investments be financed through revenue
bonds.  The required annual operating revenue and  debt service on the bonds can
be raised from fees charged by the Agency for collection and disposal services
rendered to the member communities,

                      The details of the financing should be worked out  by fi-
nancial  consultants at the proper time.   In this section, the revenue require-
ments and  the fees necessary to meet these requirements are summarized.

                      Bond authorities informally doubt that the Agency,  created
under the provisions of Chapter Z8E, Code of Iowa 1966,  would have the specific
authority to issue  bonds of any kind.   Apparently this matter has not been neces-
sary to  date nor tested in any court.   It would be beneficial if this authority were
added to the provisions of Chapter Z8E.  Without such specific, authority,  potential
bond buyers might be reluctant to purchase the bonds. As  an alternative  it has
been suggested that a declaratory judgment be requested from an appropriate

                                      5-4

-------
court stating that the authority to issue bonds is implied in the language of the
Chapter and that an agency organized under the Chapter  has such authority.
The decision on this matter should be made by competent legal counsel.  In
any case, specific legislation should be requested granting this authority to
the Agency.

                      In the event the Agency cannot issue revenue bonds in
the name of the Agency, it is  recommended that one of the member munici-
palities issue the bonds under its own authority.  The capital  investments  made
with the bond proceeds would be held in the name of the municipality,  at least
until the  bonds were paid.   Meanwhile, land, improvements and equipment
purchased with the bond proceeds would be leased to the Agency.  The lease
agreement and a pledge of the required funds from fees would be used as secur-
ity to back the revenue bonds.

                      Revenue bonds do not effect the general bonding power  of the
municipality.  They are not included in statuatory debt limits nor are they an
obligation of the municipality.   Revenue bonds are secured only by the revenue
produced by the activity for which they were issued.

                      Whether the Agency has the right of eminent domain is a
question similar to that concerning the authority to issue revenue bonds.   If it
is determined the Agency does not have such power, then the  municipality is-
suing the revenue  bonds should  also exercise its right of eminent domain to
acquire any land needed for Agency activities.  Authority does exist for the
Agency to acquire land and buildings by negotiation and purchase.

               2.      Revenue Required.  The amount of revenue required for
annual operating expense and debt service is summarized in Table 5-1.

                      The cost  estimates from which this table was  prepared are
explained in  Parts Three and Four.

                      A total bond issue  in the amount of $1, 727,000 is the amount
of one time capital investment anticipated.   The total revenue requirement,  in-
cluding debt  service,  debt service reserve and annual expenses is estimated to
be $1 , 374, 846 per year.

               3,      Income
                      a.      General.  It will be necessary to provide income
which is equal to the required revenue shown in Table 5-1.

                             It is recommended that the collection system and
the disposal system be considered as separate  operations and that income for
each  be adequate to produce the revenue required for its operation.

-------
                      b.      Disposal Fees.  The disposal operation should be
completely self-supporting by charging fees from  the users of the  facilities.  Sev-
eral systems for charging of fees are possible.  These are explained in the Ap-
pendix in Exhibit 5-4.  The recommended system is based on the weight of ma-
terial brought to the  site  in each vehicle.

                             In Part Four - Disposal of Solid Waste, the cost
of disposal has been  determined for  several  conditions involving various quanti-
ties  of waste material.  The unit  costs for the several conditions, and the total
cost of operation based on the quantities and appropriate  unit costs are included.
The  highest unit cost, which must be used to set fees,  is $1.08 per ton based on
490, 000 tons per year.  It is recommended that a fee  be set equal to $1. 10  per
ton which will produce an income of  $539, 000/year.

                      c.      Collection Fee. The collection system should be
completely self-supporting by charging member municipalities a fee for the col-
lection service provided.  This fee would be based on the  number  of dwelling
units within the  municipality receiving collection  service.  The source of funds
from which the municipality would pay the Agency would be from either budgeted
amounts raised through a regular tax levy,  or from fees  charged by the  munici-
pality to the dwellings receiving this service.  In  the event a municipality would
elect to charge fees they could  arrange with the Agency to bill the dwellings
directly for and on behalf of the municipality.  The cost of this billing could be
included in a slightly higher fee or paid by the municipality.

                             In Table 5-1,  the required revenue for collection is
shown as $833, 700.  The  revenue required to dispose of the collected refuse
is $73, 300, for a total revenue  requirement  of $907, 000.  This figure represents
the revenue that must be  collected in fees from the users  of the collection ser-
vice.  Based upon a population  of 288,000 and an  average  figure for the Study
Area of 3. 2 people per dwelling unit, the  unit cost is equal to $3. 15 per  capita
per year or $10. 08 per dwelling unit per year.  It is recommended that a fee be
charged equal to $0. 90 per month per dwelling unit.  This would result in an
annual cost of $10.80 per dwelling unit.
                                      5-7

-------
       F.      Interim Activities.   While  the Agency is being formed an inter-
im director should be appointed to guide the formation of the Agency,  the pre-
liminary work on financing and legislative problems,  and the selection and hir-
ing of a qualified permanent director.   It would be desirable if the permanent
director could be hired and the Agency brought into being within a few months.

               The Agency has many activities which must be accomplished prior
to starting collection or disposal of  solid waste.  Once the director  is hired the
following items should be  accomplished:

               1.      Review the report recommendations and prepare a detailed
statement of policy.  There are  several recommendations which the member
municipalities may wish to modify and several which are stated in general terms,
which must be defined in light of the particular  needs  of the members.

               2.      Review the report and make adjustments where  necessary
after it has been determined which municipalities have agreed to join  the Agency.

               3.      With the aid of fiscal and legal consultants prepare the
financing and legislative procedures, and pursue these matters  at the  proper
time.

               4.      Conduct sanitary landfill  site investigations and select the
specific parcels of land to purchase.

               5.      Design the initial development of the sites which have been
selected.

               6,      Assist the member communities in the interim  improve-
ments in their collection and disposal practice.

               7.      Arrange lease agreements with those members  who have
equipment  which will be leased to the Agency.

               8.      Determine the total  equipment needs of the Agency as
formed.  These needs will include leased equipment and new equipment.  Pre-
pare  cost estimates for the purchase of equipment not being leased and cost
estimates and schedules for initial purchase of  equipment as leased equipment
is replaced with Agency owned equipment.

               9.      Plan for the staffing of the Agency with regard for the
employees  now working in collection and disposal divisions  in the member  com-
munities,  and the recruitment and hiring of new personnel.

               10.     Prepare standard operating procedures,  job descriptions,
operating instructions and policies of the Agency which are  pertinent to the op-
eration of the collection and disposal services.

-------
               11.     Plan the new collection routes as  required to meet the
exact needs of the Agency.

               12.     Determine the new revenue requirements  and projected
income based on actual conditions  which will prevail at the time of operation.

               13.     Prepare all  of the details for the orderly commencement
of operation.

               14.     Sell the revenue bonds, purchase  the land and equipment,
construct the  necessary improvements, acquire the personnel.

               15.     Place the Agency into operation.

                      Part of the interim  activities will require the assistance
of specialists and consultants.  Where there are member municipalities which
have the required specialists on their staff and their duties will  permit,  these
staff members may be used to advantage.   It will probably be necessary to hire
bond consultants in connection with the issuance of revenue bonds and engineering
consultants to assist in the details of site  selection and initial site development.

                      To finance the interim activities,  it is  recommended that
an initial budget based upon per capita membership be paid to the Agency by  the
joining members.

                      This budget  should include funds for the support of the
director and  liis staff, required consultants and the initial operating funds for
the collection and disposal  activities.

       G.      Alternate Collection by Contract.  A municipal type collection
system has inherent  cost advantages over a system operated  by  a private con-
tractor.   These cost advantages are due to the fact that  the municipal system
does not pay taxes and does not earn a profit.  Nevertheless, a private  contrac-
tor can compete with a municipal system if the latter does not manage an ef-
ficient system.

               To insure that the Agency collection system is operated  in an
efficient and economical manner,  the Agency should take bids from private
contractors after a period of approximately three years.  The Agency's cost
record should be its  bid.  If a contractor is willing to provide the same ser-
vice at a cost which is less than the established cost record of the Agency,
then a contract should be awarded. Bids should be taken on carefully pre-
pared  specifications,  setting forth all of the conditions for operation, equip-
ment,  and other items to completely describe the service to be rendered.
The time of contract should be for 5 years or longer.

               We  do not recommend taking bids for the first few years.  There
are potential  savings to be  enjoyed and the Agency,  if properly managed, should
be able to  operate  in a manner to provide  adequate and economical service.

                                     5-9

H.    FEDERAL PARTICIPATION

The preparation of this study and report was financially assisted by a Federal Grant
from  the Solid Waste Program, USPHS,  Department of Health, Education and
Welfare.  This grant representing 2/3 of the total cost of the study, was author-
ized under the provisions of Title II of Public Law 89-272,  known as the Solid
Waste Disposal Act.

This Act, in addition to financing studies of this type, also has grant provisions
for the construction of new or unique  solid waste facilities; and research projects
and analysis directed toward improved or new methods in  collection and disposal
practices.

A major amendment to this Act was proposed in both Houses of Congress in 1967,
but not acted upon.  It is quite likely that this amendment will  be considered
sometime during  1968.  If adopted this amendment would  provide up to 75%
of the cost, for metropolitan areas, of constructing solid waste disposal facilities,
including completion and improvement of existing facilities.

Passage of this amendment should be  carefully watched by the Agency Board and
the director.  A sizeable  grant toward constructing and equiping the landfill
sites  would reduce considerably the size of the revenue bond issue required
for the Agency's initial operation. This would,  in turn, also reduce the dis-
posal fees that would be  required.

It is not  suggested that any of the improvements or recommendations made in this
report be delayed pending  the possibility of additional Federal Funds.  It has been
demonstrated that these improvements can be made and service improved at a
reasonable cost to the community.  However, any additional method of reducing
these  costs should not be overlooked as they might become available.

  Attention:   Mr. John Ruf,  Project Officer

  Dear Mr.  Ruf:

  You indicated some concern about the fact we were estimating the additional
  amount of  solid waste we would receive from domestic sources when, and if,
  the Metro  Area converted from their present practice of collecting only do-
  mestic kitchen solid waste to  collecting all domestic solid waste.

  We explained that it was extremely difficult to collect good data due to the
  confused route situation as  it  exists today, and the fact that the magnitude of
  the amount of material  to be estimated was indeed small considering the total
  amount of  solid waste of the community.

  We could not give you facts  and figures  concerning the exact amounts because
  our very extensive data was not out of the computers.  We  now have the first
  run and I can give you preliminary figures which indicate the magnitude of
  the quantities.  These are compared to  Omaha and Dubuque quantities which
  represent  communities  not  unlike Des Moines.

  In Omaha,  with a population of approximately 360, 000 people, approximately
  7,200  CY per week  of refuse is collected.  This collection  is made once a
  week and includes all domestic solid waste.

  In Dubuque, with a population of 61,200 people,  approximately  1,435 CY per
  week of refuse is collected.  This collection  is made twice a week and includes
  all domestic solid waste.  If twice a week collection accounts for 1:20 times
  the once a  week collection,  they would have 1,435-f- 1.20 or 1,195 CY per week
  on a once a week basis.

  The average for once  a  week collection  for Omaha and Dubuque is . 0199CY/cap/
  week.
                                                                       EX H I BIT  2-1

                      7,200 +   360,000    =   .020
                      1, 119 ^    61,200    =   .0195
                      8,395     421,200    =   .0199

In Des Moines the  land fill surveillances indicated that  they \vere collecting
2,472 CY/ week.  This collection is on a once a week basis and officially in-
cludes only domestic kitchen waste.  On a per capita basis this amounts to
. 0117cu.  yds.  per capita per week (2,472 t-  210,000)

On the basis of the average  of Omaha and Dubuque at . 0199 CY per cap/week
and a population of 210, 000  people,  Des Moines would be collecting approxi-
mately 4, 100 CY/week if collecting all domestic solid waste.  Since they are
now collecting 2,472 CY the additional  amount to be  collected should be
approximately 1,628, an additional 40%.

We know that the citizens include more  than just kitchen waste in their waste
containers and we  know that the collection crews will collect more than just
kitchen waste from many of the  citizens.

The population of Des Moines is approximately 3/4 of the population of the study
area.  If the Des Moines rate of 2,472  CY per week  was increased to represent
the total study population this rate would become 3,330 cu. yds. per
week (2,472 x 4/3).

The total study area solid waste measured at the time of the surveillance,  on
an as received basis, was 47, 346 CY pei week. The domestic solid waste
represents only 7. 0% of  the total (3, 330 + 47, 346).

If all domestic  solid waste was  collected in lieu of just  kitchen waste, the
percentage domestic to total would be 11. 5%  (4, 100x4/3*- 47, 346).

One can readily see that the amount of domestic solid waste in a community's
total solid waste program represents a relatively small part of the total. Of
11. 5% approximately 60% of the domestic was measured and 40% was estimated.

We believe that our basis of estimating what  the domestic  quantity would be if
the city collected all domestic waste is reasonably accurate and certainly adequate
considering that it represents only about 4.6% of the total.

The explanation is of course a simplification of a rather complicated matter.
                                                                     EXH I BIT 2- Id

We could  go into the  seasonally adjusted and compaction adjusted quantities
and the on-site  disposal factors which we will use in the report but at this
time I do  not believe it is necessary to the points we wish  to make.

We have divided the City of Des Moines into three approximately equal
collection districts.  The First District in the northwest part  of the City has
been divided into what we consider efficient  refuse collection routes.  We pro-
pose to have the City follow our methods and standards and lay out the remain-
ing two districts.

We recommend they  start with our first district and change from their pre-
sent routes in this area to  the routes we have laid out.  As soon as  the routes
have been in service for a  reasonable period of time and have  been adjusted as
required, we  recommend that they select several routes from which data will
be collected.  They will have dwelling counts, distances,  volumes and weights
to work with.   After  a few  months we recommend they convert one or more
routes to  collection of all domestic solid waste as opposed to just domestic
kitchen waste and collect data on this new  basis.   They would continue to collect
data on the  remaining selected routes which would be collecting  only kitchen
waste.

As soon as  the first district has been established and functioning we recommend
they change over to the new routes in the new second district and then in the
new third district. After each of these districts becomes  established they
should collect data from  these districts as they would in the first district.

Following this program they will have good data representing a good period of
time from a known route distance  and from a known number of dwelling  units.
They will have data showing the difference in refuse collected  from routes which
formally collected only kitchen waste and later collected all domestic solid
waste.  They will have parallel data on routes in the same area  collecting all
domestic  solid waste and just kitchen waste.

This data can be used in planning the conversion of all routes to the collection
of all domestic  solid waste.

This data can be used in planning the conversion of all routes to the collection
of all domestic  solid waste.

Under the present operation the routes are very confused.   They do not  represent
equal days work.  Each week may represent a different amount of collection be-
cause some crews cover their  routes more or less than once a week and many
                                                                     EXH I BIT 2- I b

times crews are diverted to other areas as necessary or expedient to handle
crisis  situations. We do not have any way to evaluate what quantity of re-
fuse is collected from what area on any reasonably accurate continuing basis.
The new routes representing a days work to be accomplished each day, no more
and no less on a consistent basis should give the necessary regularity for good
data.

In summary we believe we are doing a professional job on this project.  Where
there is an  opportunity to get good data  we are expending maximum efforts to
do so.   In the case of  the data being gathered at the point of disposal we have
gone into this important aspect many  times more thoroughly than I have ever
seen done before.  We think this is the key to  the problem and are going to get
everything available.  In the case of the  additional amount of  refuse which
would be collected if the community started collecting all domestic solid waste
as opposed  to their present practice of collecting only kitchen waste,  we believe
our estimates are entirely adequate and  at least as good as any data could be
under the present conditions.  We believe that  because of the fact that the additional
quantities are  so small compared to the  entire picture nothing could be gained by
attempting  this data gathering now.  This data will eventually be available when
the present conditions of confusion are reduced and proper routes  established.

The first of the computer runs have been made.  These represent programs
AB&C  of a total program which will go to program H.  We do not measure
our work by the pound or by the ream but it might be interesting to note that
computer runs AB&C  produced 336 pages of type out.  Part of this data will be
reproduced in  the report but we will have a full copy for your use if you would
like to have it.

Yours  very truly,

                      Packing House Waste Calculations

The individual volumes of kill from the several packers is  considered confiden-
tial.   However,  it can be said that the total kill in June  1967 was approximately
1, 870 head of beef per day.   Some plans for expansion of the industry were  di-
vulged during our interviews, however,  one packing  company has closed their
plant  since the field information was gathered and the writing of this report.
Because there are so many  factors which could affect the future quantities which
cannot be predicted with any real assurance,  we have made a reasonable esti-
mate  of the kill at this time, and waste products which can be  expected from
these kills,  and  then projected the increase in this materal at  the same rate as
the commercial  and industrial growth.

The annual quantity of pen sweepings and paunch manure expected for the pre-
sent  is as follows:

       Kill:
             1, 500 head per day,  5. 5 days  for
                   52  weeks                        =     430,000 head per year

       Paunch Manure Waste:

             Weight @ 48  pounds per head                  10, 300 tons/year
             Volume @ 77  cf per  head                      12, 200 CY  per  year

       Pen Sweeping Waste:

             Weight at 10%  of Paunch Manure               1, 030 tons per year
             Volume at 20% of Paunch Manure               2,440 CY  per  year

                                           Tons/year         CY/year

             Paunch Manure                 10,300              12,300
             Pen Sweepings                  1,030              2,440

                   Total                     11, 300              14,700

To adjust the volume for compaction, assume the following compaction factors:

                   Paunch Manure  @. 8x12, 200  =   9,860

                         Development of  Unit Weights

General

Unit weights are intended to be typical of materials as delivered to the  dis-
posal site.  Often loads are mixed, \\ith two or more materials in each
load.  Seldom  was there only one material on a load, although some material
classes were meant to include a variety of materials peculiar  to the origin or
type of was te.

It was often impractical to define all components of a  load.  For instance,  a load
of glass from a bottling company also contained quantities of paper,  cardboard,
wood,  tin cans, etc.  Therefore, loads were estimated as to the volume of major
components.

Weighing  of waste as delivered to the ^ite was  done on a limited  scale  in order
to obtain unit weight data on materials for which there was no  other  information
and  to substantiate  data available from other sources.  An attempt was made to
select loads for weighing which were  typical for that class of material, although
some weighing of mixed loads was required   Mixed loads were analyzed on the
basis of component parts to check the total  weight of the load against known or
assumed average weights of two or inure components.

Many material densities were assigned based upon specific knowledge of the
materials  involved,  while other-, are  a matter of general knowledge.  Past ex-
perience has provided knowledge of such  items  as paunch manure, sewage solids,
rubber manufacturing wastes, cinders, fly  ash, cement manufacturing  wastes,
and  metal  scrap.   The bulk density ol various materials are general knowledge,
including  dirt, gravel,  rock,  oils,, grain, fruits and vegetables,  furniture and
applianc e s.

W eighing  Program

Three approaches to weighing of refuse materials were  taken.  These are dis-
cussed in the following  paragraphs.

       City  Collected Wastes  - Approximately  90% of domestic kitchen wastes
disposed of at the Des Moines No. 1 site  was collected  in packer  trucks.   As
a part of the refuse  collection study,  a record was made of the volume  and weight
of refuse  collected  by Des Moines City packer trucks for at  least one day on each
of the 27 routes.  From this data, unit weights  were determined for 20 loads and
averaged  to determine a unit weight for material class  40,  "Garbage and Kitchen
Wastes,  Domestic".  The average density was  495 Ib/CY, with a maximum of
640  Ib/CY and a minimum of 375 Ib/CY.  A  value of 500 Ib/CY was used for
computation purposes for this material class for wastes collected in packer
trucks.  This  value  was also assigned to  material class 41 "Garbage and Kitch-
en Wastes, Commercial".
                                                                    EXHIBIT 2-6

        Weighing of Private Haulers -  Private refuse haulers cooperated in ob-
 taining unit weight data for several classes of material, particularly the "paper
 and cardboard" and  "mixed trash and  refuse" classes.   There is considerable
 variation in the unit weight of these wastes depending upon whether they are col-
 lected in packer trucks or open body trucks,  trailers or pickups.  Private haul-
 ers weighed several loads of both packer and non-packer  type trucks and re-
 corded the corresponding volumes.

        For material class 50 "Paper  and Cardboard",  the following results
 were obtained:

        Open Truck:    Load # 1  -   15 C, Y.   -  2, 240 Ibs.  -1491b/C,Y.
                      Load #2-   20 C. Y,   -  1, 760 Ibs,  -  881b/CY.
                      Load #3  -   22 C. Y.   -  2,610 Ibs   - 1091b/C. Y

                      Total       47 C. Y.   -  6,610

                      Average Unit Weight                 li6lb/C,Y.

        Packer Truck:  Load #1  -   27 C. Y.   -  7, 430 Ibs   -2751b/C. Y.
                      Load #2  -   10C.Y.   -  4, 820 Ibs.  -4821b/C,Y,
                      Load #3-   17C.Y.   -  8, 290 Ibs.  -4901b/C,Y,
                      Load #4  -   12 C. Y.   -  3, 340 Ibs.  - 278 lb/C,Y

                      Total       66 C. Y.   - 23, 880 Ibs.

                      Average Unit Weight                 3621b/C.Y.

        For computation purposes a unit weight for paper and cardboard of
 120 Ib/C. Y. was used  for open body trucks and 360 Ib/C. Y. for packer trucks.

        Weighing of packer trucks from a commercial route considered typical
for material class 42,  "Mixed  Trash and Refuse (Including Garbage}' produced
the following results:

        Packer Truck:  Load #1     16 C. Y.   -  7, 390 Ibs.  -46llb/C.Y,
                      Load #2     27 C. Y.   - 10, 620 Ibs.  - 3941b/C.Y

                      Total       43 C. Y.   - 18,010 Ibs.

                      Average  Unit Weight                 4191b/C, Y.

        The unit weight used  for material class 42 in packer trucks was 420
Ib/C. Y.  This weight was also  assigned to category 43 "Mixed Trash and Re'use
(No Garbage)".
       The 3 to 1 compaction ratio of packer trucks to open trucks
in the weighing of paper and cardboard  is believed to hold true in the other

categories continin;; larqc qua ,iti ties of paper   On that basis  open t"uck unit
weights of 140 Ib/ C  Y   were assigned to material classes 42 and 43, and 167
Ib/C. Y  for  material (.lasses 40 and 41    This gcneial j-ange was  substantiated
by weighing of city collected kitchen wastes in West DCS Monies during a period
when an open truck was being used for standby service

        Packer Truck Density -  Foi the  five material  classes 40,  41,  42, 43
and 50, the 3 to  1 compaction ratio  of packer  to open truck density was incor-
porated into  the  computer program  for determining the weight of material de-
livered to  the disposal site   Unit weights listed in the table giving seasonal and
compaction factors and unit weights are for open trucks,  When, these materials
classes wore delivered in packer  trucks   both the unit weight and the compaction
factor were automatically tripled   This  eliminated the need for anticipating the
iatio of packer trucks  to open trucks in each material class and permitted the
use of two unit weights for these materials rathe1" than a single weighted aver-
age based  on an  anticipated ratio of ti uck type

        Random Weighing  -  The third approach to  load weighing was random
weighing of typical loads observed at the landfill sites   This was used exclus-
ively for the demolition and tree ^aste categories, arid also for other materials

        One load of bottles  and broken glass from  a bottling  firm  was weighed
and a unit  weight determined of approximately 700 Ib/C Y

        Three truck loads of scrap tires  were weighed with the results as listed
below.

                  Load # 1      9. 8 C Y      4. 250 Ibs   - 437 Ib/ C Y
                  Load #2  -    9. 8 C Y   -   4, 500 Ibs   - 460 Ib/C Y

                  Average Unit  Weigh:                    405 Ib/C Y

        Demolition wastes proved to be difficult to ob*a:n reliable  data due  to
thrj extiem^  variation in the weight  of com.pon.en. materials  and the proportion
of each material in a given load  Three loads of  combustible wastes from the
demolition of wood frame structures were weighed with the  following results:

                  Load #1  -   12 0 C Y   -   4, 200 Ibs   - 350 Ib/C Y

        These loads were loosely packed, mostly lumber, and observed to be
 less dense than the more commonly encountered mixed combustible and non-
 combustible  demolition materials.  Two loads of mixed demolition wastes were
 weighed,  with the combustible materials of those loads assumed to be 600 Ib/C. Y.

                                                7. 7

        The unit weights of 600 Ib/C. Y. for combustible demolition wastes and
 2,400 Ib/C. Y.  for non-combustibles are considered typical and used for com-
 putation purposes.

        The density of limbs and leaves was  found to be approximately 320/lb/C. Y.
 when chipped and  270 Ib/C. Y.  not chipped,  determined by weighing one load of
 each of these materials.  Logs and stumps were weighed as follows:

        Load  #1    -  Logs greater  than 10"
                     14.4C.Y.  -9,6001b.    -    6651b/C.Y.

        Load  #2    -  Limbs and logs under 10"
                     12. OC. Y.  -8,7001b.    -    7241b/C. Y.

        Load  #3    -  Logs and stumps - 80% greater than 1Q:",  20% less than 10"
                     21. 0 C.Y.  - 8,750 Ib.    -    4201b/C. Y.

        Load  #3 was delivered to  the disposal site in a  dump truck and the vol-
 ume recorded is considered to be inaccurate, therefore, a unit weight of 675
 Ib/C. Y. has  been  used for logs and  stumps,  both greater  and smaller than 10
 inches in diameter.

        Street sweepings were weighed by the City of Des Moines,  with two loads
 weighing 86 and 83 Ib/C.F. An average of 85 Ib/C.F.  is  considered typical for
 street sweepings.

       Also,  one load of pen cleanings and associated  animal feeding wastes
were checked and  found to weigh  approximately 1, 090 Ib/C. Y.  (40 Ib/CF).
This is  slightly less than the 50 Ib/C.F. experienced at some large  stockyards,
but the  lower value is considered appropriate for pen sweepings disposed of at
public sites in  this case.

Compaction Factors

Compaction factors were determined, based upon the anticipated density of the
material in the fill as compared to the density as delivered'to the disposal site.
For instance, paper,  cardboard, and general mixed rubbish should compact  in
the fill to approximately 600 Ib/C. Y.  If paper and cardboard are delivered to
the disposal site in an open body truck at 1ZO Ib/C. Y. ,  the  compaction factor is
determined to be 120  -=- 600 = 0. 2.   If the same material is delivered in a packer
truck at 360 Ib/C. Y. , the compaction factor is 360  + 600  =  0. 6.  Some materials
will have  a  greater density delivered to the site  than the compacted density of
paper and other rubbish.  In the case of liquids and semi-solids, little or no in-
crease in the fill volume may be required,  therefore  a  small compaction factor
is used.   Heavy granular and bulky wastes were evaluated in terms the antici-
pated volume reduction  due to spreading, compacting and mixing with other ma-
terials in the landfill  for assigning compaction factors.

This approach  to assigning compaction factors has a definite advantage.  The
compaction factor  is simply a conversion from the as-received volume to the
compacted fill  volume.  By converting from the  as-received density to the anti-
cipated average fill density,  possible inaccuracies of the  as-received figures in
the more  loosely defined material classifications are negated in as far as the
total required fill volume is concerned.  This  would not apply to demolition
wastes, trees and  bulky items which are not included in the  stated  average fill
density but  have been evaluated  separately as to their expected  volume reduction
in place in the  fill.

Conclusion

An important point which applies throughout this discussion  of unit weights is
clearly illustrated in  the weighing of scrap tires.  Reference is made to the
variation  in unit weights of the three loads,  specifically 437, 460 and 364 Ib/C. Y. ,
even though a single,  well  defined material is  involved.  Out of necessity,  aver-
age unit weights must be assigned to each material  class  in  order to make an
analysis of  the total tonnage of waste material both  now and in the future,  and to
investigate methods and procedures of final disposal.  In  reality,  the unit weights
of these materials  will vary substantially.   In  the case  of scrap tires, the density
will depend upon the method placing or stacking  of tires,  size of load, type of
tire (passenger car or large off-the-road equipment tire) and other factors.
Across-the-board figures for density of  refuse materials are often not adequate-
ly defined,  subject to a multitude of influencing factors  and  can be  quite mislead-
ing.

          Instructions For Completing Landfill Survey Questionnaire

The form has eleven parts to which the following comments or instructions per-
tain:

1.     Book Number -

       The book number which appears on the outside cover of the book of
       forms shall be recorded on each sheet.
2.
       The day of the month data is recorded.  The month and year will not be
       recorded  on the forms.

3.     Time -

       In this part, record the  time on a 24-hour basis; i. e.  0800 indicates
       8:00 A. M. and 1310 indicates 1:10 P.M.   This time is the time the
       vehicle arrives  at the landfill site.  All men conducting the survey must
       have watches  and they should be set to read alike.

4.     County License  Number -

       The number designating the Iowa County in which the vehicle is licensed
       shall be recorded.   Official city license numbers will be recorded by the
       County in which the  city is located.  These are as follows:

             Polk County:     Des Moines, West Des Moines, Altoona,  Ankeny,
               (77)          Bondurant, Clive,  Grimes,  Pleasant Hill,
                             Urbandale, Windsor Heights.

             Warren County: Carlisle, Norwalk
               (91)

       Any other cities encountered should be handled in the same manner.
       Federal,  State,  out-of-state,  or any other designation other than the
       1 through 99 county  numbers shall be  recorded as "00".

5.     Type of Vehicle -

       Indicate the type of vehicle by recording the proper number in the appro-
       priate  space.  If the vehicle is not one 01 those listed, write in the type
       in the space available under "Other".
                                                                  EXHIBIT 2-7

6.      Type of Hauler -

       In this part,  indicate by recording  the  proper number which type of haul-
       er is delivering the material to the site.  If it is a contractor,  select the
       type which is generating the waste.  If it is a commercial hauler from a
       route which includes several customers, indicate whether the route is
       commercial  waste,  industrial waste or domestic waste, and the approxi-
       mate percentages of each.  Record both the number indicating type of
       hauler and the percentage of  each waste; unless the waste is entirely of
       one  classification in which case no  percentage  need be recorded.  "Pri-
       vate Commercial" or  "Private Industry" designates waste from a single
       commercial  establishment or industry which may be hauling their own
       wastes or employing a commercial hauler.

7.      Size of Load -

       There are two ways to indicate the  size of load.  Use  either way but not
       both. The first way is to  give the size  of the vehicle cargo  space in
       cubic yards and then indicate the percent to which it is filled.   The per-
       cent filled is not to be  considered as a statement of density  of the mater-
       ial but simply how much of the cargo space is being used.  For  example,
       a dump  truck with a 5 CY  capacity box piled half fall of Hn cans would  be
       recorded as  5 CY x 50% full.   The same truck with tree limbs piled high-
       er than the side of the  5 CY box could be recorded as  5 CY x 120% full.

       The  other way to indicate  size of load is to indicate the rough size of
       the load,  giving the length, width and height of the cargo in  feet.  For
       example, a flat bed truck  might have a  load of scrap concrete blocks
       piled an average of  8' long x  4' wide by 2 feet high;  or  an automobile
       with grass clippings in baskets in the trunk could be described as a pile
       2' long x 2' wide x 1' high.

       Wastes  carried by private citizens  may be estimated at 0. 1  CY  for each
       standard 20 gallon garbage can or equivalent.

8.      Address of Source of Waste -

       Approximate address  should  be given where possible to pinpoint source
       of waste.  For example, if a  contractor is wrecking a  hotel  building in
       the  900 block on Locust Street, indicate "9th and Locust".   If a garage
       man is delivering a load of oil cans, indicate "Joe's Conoco Station,
       15th & Grand Avenue".  If a commercial hauler is  from a commercial
       route in downtown Des Moines, indicate "Downtown Des Moines".  Do
       not neglect to indicate  which  city the waste  originates from.  For City
       refuse vehicles  the  truck number and the route number will  be suffici-
       ent source information.
                                                                EXHIBIT  2-7o

9.      Condition of Material -

       There is a place to record the proper number if the load is very dense or
       very loose. Use these to indicate the unusual condition.  For example,
       in most wrecking jobs the refuse is usually piled in dump trucks with a
       clam  shell or  front end loader.  The engineer evaluating these survey
       sheets will take this into account, but if a truck load of waste from a
       wrecking job was hand loaded, thereby getting much more than the usual
       amount  into a  truck, indicate that fact by placing a  check in the  "very
       dense" designation.  Similarly, if a load of large cardboard boxes was
       loose  and not in any way crushed or packed in, indicate "very loose".

10.     Type  of Material -

       Indicate by one or more of the materials listed what type of material is
       being delivered.  In the case of mixed loads,  indicate more than one
       material.

       If a load is mixed and has a high percentage of some types and a low per-
       centage of  others, give a rough approximation of the percentages.  For
       example, a load of bricks from a wrecking job with some wood may be
       recorded,  thus:

                                 Type of Material
         Mat'l     %     Mat'l      %     Mat'l      %     Mat'l      %
       50 51  52 53 54 55 56 57 58 59 60 61 62 63 64 65 66 67 68 69 70 71 72 73

      	1      9  0	2      1  0	

             1.    Demolition - Mixed, Non- Combust.
             2.    Demolition - Mixed, Combust.

       In the case of a typical load from a City Refuse Packer Truck, indicate
       "Garbage & Kitchen  Waste,  Domestic",  but do not attempt to evaluate
       the percentage  of any of the materials.  "Construction Mixed" should
       indicate any scrap materials or other materials derived from the con-
       struction industry which do  not fall into  other specific  categories listed.
       "Ashes and Cinders" shall designate the normal residue and clinkers
       from burning of coal and other combustibles as opposed to "Fly Ash"
       which would designate very  fine, light matter.

       If material cannot be described by checking one or  more of the materi-
       als listed,  write in as  "Other" in the space available at the bottom of
       the page with a description of the material and any  appropriate com-
      ments.
                                                                 EXHIBIT 2-7b

11.     Coordinate and Government Subdivision -

       The coordinate of the source of waste and the government subdivision
       will be determined in the office by the person checking the survey
       sheets.   No entry should be made for  these items in the field.

In addition to the information requested on the Questionnaire,  the following in-
formation should be recorded on the outside cover of each book:

       1.     The complete date including  day of the week.

       2.     Name of each surveyor,  the  time which he began or quit, and
             the times the book was started and completed.

       3.     The number of the preceding book and the following book.

     August  30,  1967

     Mr. Leo Johnson
     Director of Public Works
     City of Des Moines, Iowa

     Dear Mr. Johnson:

     From our observations and  investigation of your  garbage collection
     system,  we  have come to the  conclusion that the  system will require
     major  changes to make it a smooth functioning, economical operation.
     We have also concluded what  major changes must be  made.

     Because much of our work is  very detailed, and the particular details
     are based on certain ground  rules and policies;  it is necessary to
     establish the ground rules and  policies very carefully.  To make the
     final  details of maximum value  to you, we should be in general
     agreement on ground rules  and policies.

     For this reason we wish to explain to you at this  time what our
     conclusions are and what ground rules and policies we are
     recommending which will form the foundation of additional work.
     We have written a summary  of the situation in which we explain the
     background, observations,  philosophy and recommended course of
     action.   This summary is attached for your study.   In the summary
     we recommend the following action upon which our future work will
     be based:
                                                                EXH I BIT  3-9

Mr. Leo Johnson               -2-                August  30,  1967

    1. The City routes be divided into several districts of
       managable size, each under the direction of a District
       Foreman.  The Crews in a district are to act as a team.

    2. Layout efficient routes which represent a proper  days
       work.

    3. Establish and enforce reasonable work rules which
       regulate the periods of collection, haul and rest.

    4. Provide an incentive for the men to work fast and
       steadily without wasting time.

    5. Provide the necessary management and supervision  to
       properly direct the activities of the collection  crews.

If there are any parts of these conclusions which are not acceptable
to you please notify us immediately so we can meet to work out any
modification to the basic ideas and have a sound foundation upon
which to build.

Yours very truly,

   4.  Provide an  incentive  for the men to work  fast  and
       steady without wasting time.

   5.  Provide the necessary management and  supervision to
       properly direct the activities of the collection crews.

I would like to outline to you the work we have done to date which
has led us to the above recommendations.   To begin, we drew detailed
maps of all of your present routes.  Each driver was invited to
describe in detail how his route was collected.  We drew this data
on maps with colored pencils showing the path that was traveled for
collection and dead heading, where stops were made for coffee breaks
and lunch periods, beginning and ending points, plus which side of
the street was collected when not collecting from both sides.  We
then selected certain routes and assigned a technician to follow the
crews that were collecting these routes.   The crew was of course
informed of this procedure in advance and shown all of the data
collected.  The technician recorded activity in detail on a field form
designed for that purpose.  The data collected included the exact
streets and alleys driven; all maneuvers including all turns and
stops and backing movements; the time and mileage per collection
block; and number of containers emptied per block.  He also recorded
time and mileage  for all non-collection activities including haul
to the land fill  site,  driving to and from the yard, coffee and
rest breaks, lunch periods and all other delays whatsoever.

Once the routes were followed,  data was obtained showing the number
of dwelling units per block which corresponded to the blocks
followed.  We are developing data which will be used to set time and
quantity standards for collection from various types of neighborhoods
and various conditions such as carryout vs. alley collections.  The
collection standards coupled with work schedules and necessary
driving time will be used to establish proper routes which represent
a reasonable day's work.

We have found that a fantastic amount of time is spent in delays
for rest breaks,  coffee breaks, smoke breaks and lunch periods.
Sometimes these delays represent almost as much time as the time
spent collecting  garbage.

Anyone who has observed a garbage collection crew at work can
appreciate that the work is not easy.  When picking up garbage
the men do manual labor involving much walking, lifting and
carrying.  There  appears to be no end to the process.  As soon as
one can is emptied and carried to the truck there is another to do.
Without stops from time to time, a good crew could work themselves
into a state of exhaustion.  There are however, many places where
                                                       EXH I BIT 3- 9c

                              -3-
brief built-in stops and rest periods are provided and where a few
extended rest periods are also provided.  Most routes have many
places where the collection crews ride the truck from one point on
the route to another point either from stop to stop, around corners
or while dead heading.  These rest periods vary from a few seconds
to a few minutes each.  The extended periods consist of the driving
trip from yard to first stop in the morning, trips to and from the
landfill site with a full load of garbage, the trip at the end of the day
from the landfill site to the yard, and the lunch period.

Since it takes several hours to fill a truck and since the work is
physically taxing, we believe short rest periods should be not only
allowed but scheduled and encouraged.  We believe therefore that
after approximately one hour's work the crew should take a short
break.  They will feel better for doing this and also produce more
work over an entire day.  This break should be taken by simply
stopping work where they happen to be at the appointed hour, and
not leaving the route for the purpose of going to a coffee house
in the neighborhood.  A brief rest for the sake of resting is
beneficial.  A longer coffee break which may have social benefits
does not result in a benefit to the task to be accomplished.

A scheduled lunch period should be allowed with time to go to a
place to wash and eat.  Currently a 30 minute period is scheduled
and the crews are allowed to go to the closest fire station or City
park to eat.  This appears to be appropriate and popular with the
men, however, the lunch periods are seldom restricted to 30 minutes.
It should be agreed that either 30 minutes are to be used and then
limit the crews to this time, or schedule a longer period for lunch
and extend the work day to cover this period.

Under the current procedure the men are scheduled to work from 7:00
A.M. to 3:30 P.M. each day with a 30 minute lunch time.  As a
practical matter, crews arriving at the landfill site after 2:30
P.M. cannot be economically diverted to other work.  As a result
they are held at the landfill site until approximately 3:00 P.M.
and then released to drive back to the yard, fuel their vehicles
and be released for the day.  The men know this and many of them
plan their day accordingly.  We believe this is extremely wasteful,
bad on morale and accomplishes nothing.  We recommend that the
routes be planned and the work scheduled to do a good day's work
each day and then allow the men to go home when the work has been
accomplished.  This is generally known as the  "Task" or  "Incentive"
Plan.

To create an incentive, the route should be of such a size that the
crew can, by working steadily, complete the route within the time
allotted with approximately 40 minutes off at the end of the day.

                                                        EXHIBIT  3-9d

The crew that wishes to hustle a little faster can earn as much
as one hour off.  The crew that drags gets little or no incentive.
The key of course is to lay out a proper day's work.  We will lay
out several such routes and teach your supervisors to use standards
we will develop to lay out the remaining routes.  It is necessary
for your men to know how to do this because route standards and
conditions change constantly and require periodic adjustment if a
properly managed economical system is to be maintained.

Wasting time is not only expensive in direct labor and equipment cost,
but it also has bad side effects.  The men are not proud to be a
part of a  "goof off" team.  They have no respect for the City, their
department or their supervisors for allowing such a condition to
develop and be maintained.  Their morale is bad, their sense of
loyalty is reduced and their turnover rate is higher than necessary.

One must also realize the social and practical problems associated with
hiring, retaining and supervising garbage collection crews.  The
pay scale  is near the bottom of the schedule for men doing physical
labor.  It has been said that  "no one has ever asked for a transfer
to the garbage department".  This is probably not true but does
illustrate the problem.  The work is not easy and the image of the
garbage man is bad.  We will discuss improvement of the image at
another time.  The men normally employed in this work do not usually
have the higher educations nor are they as likely to be as steady
in their jobs as some of the other classifications.  These men must
have better supervision and the job should be given every consideration
to improve its image, morale and incentives.

The matter of efficiency in collecting garbage is more important
than most people realize.  This year the adopted budget for garbage
collection is approximately $712,000, which is one of the highest
single items of expenditure.  Generally, budget officers assume
that garbage must be collected, which is true, and that the department
must have whatever funds they request for men and equipment to do the
job, which is not true.  The garbage collection cost can be significantly
reduced if the same amount of services to the public is maintained
or more service to the public can be provided per dollar spent.

A route which we followed can be cited as an example of the present
situation.  This is not the average or mean route, because we have
not completed our work.  It can, however, be said to be not unusual.

This route was recorded to consume the times shown in the following
summary:

    1. Collection Time*    3:59     =     239 Minutes   =   51.5%

    2. Haul Time**         1:39     =      99 Minutes   =   23.3%

    3. Delay Time***       2:06     =     126 Minutes   =   27.2%

             Sub-Total     7:44     =     464 Minutes   =  100.0%

    4. Other****           _;46
                           8:30

    * Time spent on route collecting garbage or driving between
      stops.

   ** Time spent to the route from yard, to and from landfill site,
      from site to yard.

  *** Time spent not on collection or haul, includes lunch, breaks,
      etc., plus :18 at end of day when allowed to go home.

 **** Time spent in special activity such as on next day's route
       (:27) and special tasks for engineering survey (:19).

It can be seen from the example and from the foot notes that not
only were they able to do their day's work, but they were able to
take considerable delays and also do 27 minutes of the next day's
work.

Their day's work to do was inadequate, and the next day's work would
probably be even shorter because part was accomplished this day.

               Haul load to disposal site and
               return to yard.

               Incentive time  (go home).
It can be seen that in addition to three short rest breaks of 5
minutes each and a 30 minute lunch time there is also a total of 1 hour
and 15 minutes of hauling time for the crew to rest.  At no time would
the crew be expected to work more than one hour without a break, not
counting any rest they can get while traveling between stops or dead
heading between parts of the route.
                                                        EXHIBfT  3-9g

Comparing the productive collection time of 5 hours and 50 minutes
in the above example to the 3 hours, 59 minute collection time in
the first example one can see that 46% more refuse can be collected
per crew and still enjoy a 40 minute incentive time.  If the crew
were willing to increase their pace 5-6%, they could pick up another
20 minutes of incentive time to make it equal to one hour.  They
could slow down 10 to 12% and still finish within the day's work
schedule.

It can be argued that proper management can be applied to the present
system with similar results.  This, however, would be difficult to
accomplish.  Certainly the present effectiveness can be drastically
improved but the nature of refuse collection work being scattered
over a large area is difficult to supervise.  Establishing proper
route work standards must be done and would be of great benefit,
however, there are many ways for a crew to slow down or be delayed
which are difficult to supervise.  Under the incentive plan, the men
and their foreman have a common desire to improve their routes.

There are many details which must be worked out in connection with
using the procedures we are recommending.  We do not propose to go
into all of them at this time, however, we feel that a few of them
should be mentioned.  The sample days schedule we have used shows
the crews returning to the yard at 1450.  It is planned that the
crew would park their vehicle in the yard without being fueled to
avoid the time consuming traffic jam at the fuel pumps.

It is contemplated that a man would be assigned to the night shift
who would fuel all of the vehicles using the fuel tank truck and
fuel all the vehicles where they are parked.  He would also wash
the vehicles scheduled for that night after the fueling was completed,

During the winter a man must be assigned  the task of starting all
vehicles in the morning and allowing them a warm up period prior to
0700 when the crews start their work.  One person doing this work
can save many crew hours of lost time.  Not only is this a direct
potential saving in payroll expense and reduced wear and tear on
equipment due to a proper warm up, but it is also necessary to
prevent  delays which would interfere with the performance of the
days scheduled work.

To complete the most collection work in the shortest period of time
and to allow the crews to earn a maximum amount of incentive time,
it is recommended that the work rules outlined below be established
for normal routine conditions.

    1. At the beginning of the day,  collection crews shall proceed
       directly from the yard to the point of first collection
       where they will begin collection of garbage.

    2. Crews shall remain on their routes and shall follow the
       prescribed path at all times  except when proceeding to and from
       the place of disposal and the yard and except for the lunch
       period.

    3. One 30 minute lunch period, which starts when the crew leaves
       their route and ends when they have returned to their route,
       may be taken.  Crews may leave their route during this period
       and drive to the closest City Fire Station or City Park at
       their option.

    4. At the end of any full hour's collection time the crew may
       take, and they are encouraged to take, a 5 minute rest break;
       except when it is time to go  to lunch or the truck is full and
       they should proceed to the place of disposal.

    5. When the route has been collected the crew shall proceed
       directly to the place of disposal and then directly to the
       yard, at which time they normally will be dismissed for the day.

    6. If one or more of the collection crews in the same District
       have been delayed for any reason, the District Foreman may
       direct one or more of the other crews in that District to
       assist a delayed crew with the completion of the delayed crews
       collection.

    7. When a crew is required to work more than the 8 hours per day
       plus lunch time, they shall receive compensatory time off at
       another time at the rate of 1^ hours of compensation time for
       each one hour of time worked  in excess of the 8 hours plus
       lunch time.

The recommended five part solution to the problems discussed in this
summary will require the overcoming  of some obstacles.  The following
is a general listing of the parts to the solution and an evaluation
of the potential obstacles:

    1. The division of the City into Districts is a technical and
       administrative procedure which presents no legal, political
       or labor/management obstacles.

    2. The layout of proper routes is also a technical and administrative
       matter without legal, political or labor/management obstacles.

                             -9-
    3.  The establishment of new work rules  are  simple  in technical
       and administrative matters;  however,  there is a labor/
       management consideration which must  be considered.   We
       believe they can be worked out in connection with the
       incentive plan.

    4.  The incentive plan is the key to the success of the system,
       but also contains the largest number of  potential problems.
       Currently, the working hours are established by provisions
       of the Municipal Code.  It is possible that revisions to the
       code may be necessary.  There may also be problems  with other
       groups of City workers.  Although we cannot imagine labor/
       management problems on this issue,  it would have to be
       considered as a possible obstacle.

    5.  The necessary proper management and  supervision are administrative
       matters which will require careful consideration.  This item
       will be discussed in detail at another time; however, no
       serious problems are anticipated.

Whatever the problems and obstacles, we believe the recommendations
are sound and represent the greatest potential  benefits to the City.

3.     3-man crew cost per day:  3 x  3. 40 x 8 + 1. 44 x 8 = $93. 14.

8.      At the break-even point,  the cost per pound collected would be equal,
       therefore:

                        203Q - DQ + 1. 42D = 141. 95.

9.      The time D is a function of Q.  By assuming value of Q the break-even
       driving time to a landfill site can be determined.

       Where Q =      .66                  D = 10.  5
                       .65                  D = 1. 0
                        64                  D = 15.  5
                       .63                  D = 18.  0
                       .62                  D = 20.  0
                       .61                  D = 22.  5
                       .60                  D = 24.  5
                       .59                  D = 26.  5
                       .58                  D = 29.  0

10.    We have assumed Q = . 61  which means  the 2-man crew is considered to
       be 61% as productive as a  3-man crew.  (If they were  100% as efficient,
       they would be 66.6% as productive).

11.    For a  Q of . 61 the break-even driving time would be 22. 5 minutes.  If
       the driving time from the route to  the landfill  site is more than  22. 5
       minutes each way,  the two man crew is more  economical; if less than
       22. 5 minutes the reverse is true.

     Mr.  Leo Johnson
     Director of Public Works
     City of Des Moines
     City Hall
     Des Moines, Iowa

     Dear  Mr. Johnson:

     In our letter to you dated June 30,  1967, we recommended that the City of Des
     Moines take immediate steps to improve the operation of their two landfill oper-
     ations.  Part of the suggestions have been placed into operation.   We also rec-
     ommended new and better equipment and suggested a fee be established to pay
     for the new equipment and additional expense.

     When we discussed this matter about two weeks ago, you indicated you were
     ready to pursue this new equipment and fee matter and requested a new estimate
     of fees.  Harold Smith and I worked up the required equipment.   Harold then esti-
     mated the cost  of the  new equipment, amortization,  maintenance and other costs
     of the new operation.   He sent this information,  which I have used to set forth
     my ideas  of how to structure a new, simple and interim, fee system.

     I believe there  is  enough information contained in this letter to allow you to pro-
     ceed.  I have prepared an attachment showing the figures which are explained in
     the following paragraphs.

     It is assumed that the vehicles counted during the survey week are sufficiently
     representative  of the  annual volume as to be used directly.  For  this purpose,
     no seasonal variation was applied, nor was any annual change made from the
     time of the  survey week through the several years in this analysis.   The purpose
     of this analysis is to determine approximately what  the new capital equipment
     costs and operational costs  will be and how they  can be financed.
                                                                       EXH IB IT  4-1

Mr.  Leo Johnson

It is further assumed  that the  time  remaining at this site would not warrant the
expenditure necessary to install the scale  systems required to charge fees based
on tonnages.  If tonnages are removed from consideration and the fees are de-
signed to  provide financing for interim improvements and operation,  we recom-
mend that a simple fee system be installed which  will produce the required rev-
enues.  We recommend a  fee be charged for pick-up trucks and  light trailers at
$1. 00 per vehicle and for  other trucks and trailers at $2. 00 per vehicle.  No
charge would  be made for City Vehicles or for automobiles.  This fee is extreme-
ly low when compared to other communities,  primarily because there are no land
costs and existing  facilities will be used for the remaining life of the sites.  The
number of vehicles are  shown in Part A of the attachment.

The revenue to be  produced from fees is shown in Part B.   This is self-explana-
tory except for the diversion.  We have estimated that approximately 25% of
the disposed waste will be diverted to some place other than the two City
sites.  This number is largely an enlighted speculation,  but appears  reasonable.
As  shown in Part B,  an annual revenue of  $287, 000 can be expected from non-
City trucks using the two  sites.  As shown in Part C, an annual  benefit of $32, 000
worth of disposal service  will be  supplied  to the City without fees; however,  this
same sum is  suggested as a budgeted item in Part "G".

The new operational costs have been estimated by Harold Smith  based on quanti-
ties and equipment suggested by the consultant.  Likewise,  the new equipment
cost, amortization and rentals have been estimated by Harold using the depart-
ment records and procedures.  We have used these costs as he produced them,
except for increasing  the  miscellaneous  costs from $2, 000 to  $12, 000.

The costs of operations under new conditions are  summarized in Part D and the
cost of the new equipment is shown in Part E.  It  should be  noted that the equip-
ment rental in Part D includes the maintenance, repair and amortization of equip-
ment.  The full price  of the equipment will be returned to the  garage fund through
this amortization.  It  is customary to buy  this equipment through a budget item
when the  equipment is  first purchased and then build the price of a replacement
through rentals so  the  equipment can be  replaced, when it is worn out.  Thus,
there are always funds for a new  one after the original purchase.  In this case,
the cost of the equipment  is not budgeted.  It is suggested that the equipment be
purchased with funds borrowed from the equipment fund.  The rentals will re-
place it,  but it is also  proposed to  replace the originally borrowed funds through
a "surplus" or "reserve for debt" accumulated each  year.
                                                                   EXH I B I T 4 - I 0

City of Des Moines, Iowa                                January 25,  1968

The  costs for each of three (3) years are  shown in Part F.   The first year, 1968,
shows 6 months of present operations and 6 months  of new operations using the
new  equipment.  The next two years 1969 and 1970 show the costs for a full year.

Revenue  for 1968 through  1970 is shown in Part G.  The first year includes the
1968 budget and 6 months  of fees.  The  second and third years  contemplate bud-
gets of $32, 000 which is equal to the fees for City trucks if fees were charged
for these vehicles.  The reduction in budget from the present $153, 000 to $32, 000
is equal to $121, 000 per year.  A comparison of costs and revenue and the  result-
ing reserve or surplus  expected each year is shown in Part  H.

New equipment valued at $190, 000 is required for the new and improved oper-
ations.  This equipment has an annual depreciation of $31, 700, when considering
trade-in value and  depreciation.

Part I shows the value  of the equipment at the end of the year,  the debt to the
garage fund, the equity in the equipment earned to the end of the year and equity
gain this year.  It can be seen that the surplus or reserve is reducing  the debt to
the garage fund much faster than the equipment  is depreciating.

At the end  of the first year,  which represents only 6 months of the new operation,
the equipment has depreciated from $190, 000 to $174, 000 in value.  When  the
surplus or reserve is applied to the purchase debt,  the City has only a $117, 500
investment in it and the equipment is being replaced through the amortization  part
of the rental rate.  At the  end of 1968, the City  gained a $56, 500 equity in  the
equipment.

A similar analysis is shown for  1969 and  1970.  Under  the conditions shown, the
original equipment cost of $190, 000 would be returned to the garage fund 7 months
into  the third year  or after approximately 25 months of operations.

It is doubtful that you could be using this equipment  at this site during  the entire
time shown to pay off the original investment.  It can be seen, however, as ex-
plained above, that the  value of the  depreciated  equipment is always greater than
the outstanding debt.  If,  at  the end of 1968,  the City wished to discontinue this
equipment  they would have $174, 000 worth of equipment with a debt of  $117, 500
plus that portion of the  rental applied to replacement.   They could sell it or use
it for other City operations with no  loss and probably a profit.

If the City would wish to eliminate their budgeted amount completely, they could
do so by raising the fee or cutting the surplus or reserve.  They could also charge
more for packer trucks.  I suggest you try this approach and if you need more
information, I will get it for you.

           COST OF ONE SANITARY LANDFILL VS. TWO SITES

In Part Four, Section G it was shown that there was no  suitable location within
several miles of the "Waste Centroid Total Study Area".  It was necessary to
consider more than one site.

The Study Area is large enough to operate two large sites in lieu of one giant
site without a serious increase in unit cost.

In the cost estimates shown in Table 4-4 for the  two sites which were recommended,
a total annual cost of $573, 640 is  estimated for the  1968 quantities.  If a single
site was selected these costs  could probably be reduced by approximately $50,000
per year; however, the additional haul cost from the side of the study area with-
out the site would  soon  exceed this potential paving. For example, at $6. 00 per
haul-hour, the $50, 000 would be consumed in 8, 300 haul hours.  If 150, 000
vehicle round trips were made per year, to consume 8,300 additional haul hours,
only 3. 3 minutes of extra round trips would be required.  (8, 300-f- 150, 000) x 60.

It is apparent that two sites can easily be justified.

            METHODS OF DETERMINING A FEE FOR REFUSE DISPOSAL

There are four methods, in common usage, that are used to determine the fees
collected for the use of disposal sites.  Each method is basically an approach to
measuring the quantity of waste as delivered to the landfill site, so that a fee
schedule may be adopted which will produce sufficient revenue to support the dis-
posal operation.   The four methods include:

        1.     Fees based on tonnage of waste;
        2.     Fees based on the  gross vehicle weignt;
        3.     Fees based on the  gross volume of the hauling vehicle;
        4.     Fees based on the  volume of the actual waste.

All of these methods have advantages and disadvantages.   The tonnage basis  is
recommended as being the fairest, most accurate and most practical to operate.

This method has the  greatest initial cost because a scale house and two sets  of
scales and equipment must  be installed at each site.  This  cost has been estima-
ted at approximately $58, 000 for  each site,  and is included in the total landfill
site development cost presented in Part Four.

Each  vehicle is weighed on  the entrance scale and the  gross weight of the vehicle
and load is automatically recorded on the scale mechanism and on a weight tick-
et.  Upon exiting the site, the ticket  is transferred to  the exit scale where the
empty or tare weight of the vehicle is recorded.  The  net weight of the refuse
and the fee is determined and  recorded on the ticket automatically.  The driver
then pays the fee with a credit card,  or uses prepaid coupons or may pay in
cash.

This method is fair,  accurate and convenient.  It removes any individual judg-
ment  determination by employees or drivers.  In addition,  an efficient method
of record keeping and billing is built into the system.

Determining the fee by gross vehicle weight or by gross volume of vehicle are
both similar in procedure and method.  They have the advantage of not requir-
ing any initial investment.  The inequities in these methods are great.  More
often than not, the weight or capacity of the vehicle has no bearing on the actual
amount of refuse hauled in the vehicle.  Customers carrying  small or partial
loads  are penalized while those who overload their vehicles  receive a premium.
In order to keep customer dissatisfaction to a minimum,  a great deal of indi-
vidual spot adjustments and determinations must be  made by the landfill atten-
dant.   This  leads to a general breakdown of cost and scheduling procedures.
These methods are considered satisfactory on an interim or short time  basis,
where it would not be practical or economical to install scales.
                                                                EXHIBIT  5-4

-------
The method of determining fees by actual volume of the waste is essentially a
fair method, similar to the tonnage system.  However, this is difficult to do
with most vehicles, with any degree of accuracy.  It requires a judgment by
the attendant, which is always  subject to argument with the customer.  This
method again is satisfactory  on a short time basis.

It has previously been recommended that private automobiles be allowed to  use
the sites without charge.  The  amount of waste from this source would be neg-
ligible in the entire landfill operation.  The cost of weighing and collecting from
each automobile and the resulting traffic confusion would outweight the value
of any revenues that might be collected.

The anticipated tonnages and the disposal cost per ton for the two new landfill
sites  are shown and discussed  in Table 5-1.
