o Damage to system components or unscheduled shutdowns resulting from <br />adaption of equipment designed for materials other than solid waste; <br />o Unpredicted wear resulting in frequent replacement and maintenance of <br />system components; <br />o Failure to attain the same efficiency and reliability at a commercial <br />scale that was achieved on a pilot scale. <br />Risk and reliability may be evaluated by considering the demonstrated and com- <br />mercial success of proposed solid waste processing techniques. Such projects <br />should be under conditions of similar facility scale, waste composition, waste <br />supply area generation rates and proximity, and product market needs. Over <br />time, experimental waste technologies may develop which could complement more <br />familiar technologies. Initial development should focus on small-scale or <br />demonstration -type projects. <br />Objectives <br />3a. Promote the use of technically reliable and efficient processing tech- <br />niques. Identify and resolve problems that may reduce processing <br />efficiency and reliability. <br />3b. Allow for the development of new and/or experimental waste processing <br />techniques to recover energy or materials. <br />Criteria <br />3a. Proposed processing facilities shall use materials handling and processing <br />techniques that are known to provide continuous, reliable and effective <br />service, while recovering energy and/or materials that consistently meet <br />market specifications. <br />3b. Facilities using new or ,ental waste processing techniques shall be <br />tested on a small -scaly nly. (A processing facility will be consid- <br />ered experimental if I,. ..,._ory of commercial effectiveness and workabil- <br />ity is undocumented.) <br />LOCATION <br />The location of solid waste management facilities will be influenced by several <br />factors, including availability of suitable land, proximity to markets for <br />energy or secondary materials, proximity to major highways and sources of <br />waste, and availability of adequate public utilities such as electric power, <br />water supply and wastewater treatment services. Proposed sites should not <br />create adverse social, economic or aesthetic impacts on nearby areas. Existing <br />technology and transportation costs will restrict some waste facilities to <br />locations near potential markets and waste generators. <br />Proposed waste facility locations will have certain land use limitations. One <br />measure of a location's acceptability is its degree of consistency with public <br />land use policy and values. Metropolitan Development Guide policy and local <br />comprehensive plans represent a consensus of public attitudes and values, since <br />they have been developed with citizen participation and adopted through the <br />public hearing process. In some cases, it may be desirable to locate waste <br />41 <br />
