Saratoga CountyFinal Solid Waste Management PlanEXECUTIVE SUMMARYSaratoga County was founded in 1791, establishing Ballston Spa as the County Seat. During thenineteenth century, Saratoga County was an important industrial center. Its location 30 milesnorth of Albany on the Delaware and Hudson Railway and its proximity to water power fromthe Hudson River and Kayaderosseras Creek led to rapid industrial development beginning in1810. Some of the most important industries were paper mills, tanneries, foundries, and textilemills.Saratoga County is governed by a Board of Supervisors. By resolution, the Board of Supervisorsdesignated the County as the official planning unit for purposes of developing a solid wastemanagement plan. The planning unit includes nineteen townships, nine incorporated villages,and two cities. Every municipality in the County is participating in the planning unit.A variety of collection services are used in the County to collect and transport solid wastes tolandfills and recycling centers. Methods include private contracts, residential drop-off, townwide contracts, and municipal collection. Municipalities at the town and village level make solidwaste related decisions with regard to their levels of involvement. This has resulted in a widevariety of management practices through the County. A summary of waste disposal activities isprovided in Chapter 3.In 2010, based on annual reports submitted to DEC, Saratoga County residents and businessesgenerated approximately 461,908 tons of waste. The fraction for each material wasdetermined by analyzing annual tonnage reports for those facilities that reported acceptingwaste from Saratoga County. The majority of the waste is landfilled (318,479 tons or 69percent) followed by incineration (93,249 tons or 20%) while the remainder is recycled (27,998tons or 6.1 percent), processed (14,212 tons or 3.1 percent), or composted (7,970 tons or 1.7percent).Based on the data gathered, the County has identified proposed milestones to work towardduring a ten-year SWMP planning period. The milestones set forth below were identified withthe goal of further enhancing the reuse and recycling of materials to reduce the quantity ofmaterials being landfilled. Each proposed milestone will be evaluated for feasibility and costeffectiveness on an individual basis according to the implementation schedule.404.001.001/10.19E-1Barton & Loguidice, D.P.C., Gerhardt, LLC

Saratoga County1.0Final Solid Waste Management PlanINTRODUCTION1.1.Purpose of Saratoga County Solid Waste Management PlanThe overall objective of the Plan is the formulation, adoption, and implementation of aprogram to meet the County’s solid waste management requirements for at least a tenyear period. The Plan is designed to respond to state-established goals for solid wastemanagement tailored to the needs of the County. A major goal in formulating the Planwas the adoption of cost effective solutions for solid waste management using reliable,proven technologies that are environmentally sound, while allowing flexibility for futuretechnological changes.The residents, businesses, and institutions in Saratoga County currently producehundreds of tons of solid waste every day. The question about what to do with thiswaste, now and in the future, creates the need for a plan such as this one.The purpose of the Solid Waste Management Plan (SWMP) is to: 1) serve as acountywide framework for the coordination of solid waste management; and 2)establish countywide solid waste goals and objectives, including an overall wastereduction goal and a plan to monitor progress toward the goals.This SWMP provides Saratoga County with policy and program direction for the nextdecade. This SWMP also recognizes that local municipalities, the New York StateDepartment of Environmental Conservation (NYSDEC), private waste haulers, andprivate facility owners all play important roles in the current and future management ofsolid waste and recycling within Saratoga County.1.1.1.Scope of the PlanThis SWMP addresses municipal solid waste (MSW), non-hazardous industrialwaste, construction and demolition debris (C&D), and municipal sewagetreatment plant sludge. It does not address hazardous waste from largequantity generators or special industrial wastes.The Planning Unit addressed by this Plan is Saratoga County, including its cities,towns, villages, residents, businesses, and operations therein. This Plan alsoincludes programs and facilities that in some cases are located outside of theSaratoga County boundaries, which may impact activities inside the County. Allof the programs, services, and facilities related to solid waste management anddisposal are addressed by this Plan, including waste reduction, transfer, disposal,and collection.404.001.001/10.19-1-Barton & Loguidice, D.P.C., Gerhardt, LLC
Saratoga County1.2.Final Solid Waste Management PlanSaratoga County Regulatory Framework1.2.1.Saratoga County Recycling LawIn 1988, a comprehensive solid waste management planning effort in SaratogaCounty was made in connection with area recycling efforts. Local Law No. 1 of1988 was adopted, which required source separation of newspapers anddiscarded scrap (“white”) metal. Amendments to the Local Law were made in1988, 1989, and 1990 which added bulk metal, clear glass and plastic HDPE (#2)bottles to the definition of recyclables. Additionally in 1991, the Countyestablished a voluntary program for recycling magazines. The Commissioner ofPublic Works issues the procedures governing disposal of recyclables. TheCommissioner also has the power to establish procedures for designating Countyrecycling centers and for determining the effective dates for compliance with theRecycling Law.1.2.2.Previous Solid Waste Management Planning EffortsThe County officially adopted the Saratoga County Solid Waste ManagementPlan, which was approved by the DEC on October 12, 1990. Several planningefforts in an attempt to address the County’s short- and long-term solid wastedisposal needs were completed prior to the adoption of the 1990 Solid WasteManagement Plan, which are discussed in Chapter 2.0.404.001.001/10.19-2-Barton & Loguidice, D.P.C., Gerhardt, LLC
