DESIGN OF MOORESVILLE TRANSFER STATIONS Jim Woodie, of
Municipal Engineering, advised that he was using the same concept
in designing the Mooresville Transfer Station as was originally
planned; especially in handling traffic. There is a separation
between the public and commercial areas. Some changes in trying to
lower costs were:
1 roll -off site was deleted
There will not be a need to haul in fill-in material
- A bypass area has been deleted
Some sections originally designed to be paved will now
be graveled
Scale house size has been reduced
- At least one parking space has been eliminated
- Curb and guttering was reduced
- Wear surface on tipping floor has been changed
- A modular pre -fab building has been looked at and there
could be more savings from this type of building
Woodie stated the proposed building was functional, and it
would handle traffic. He did caution that with the proposed
facility being more convenient to the public, that traffic might
increase. The current facility is very congested which deters many
residents from using it. Ron Weatherman, Solid Waste Director,
advised that a goal in the new facility will be to move the waste
as fast as possible.
The tonnage per day, currently, in Mooresville is 125 tons,
and Woodie estimated this would double in the future with
commercial trucks. The proposed facility should be able to
process 300 tons of waste per day.
Commissioner Stewart asked what would be spent on trucks to
haul the waste. Weatherman advised that trucks were not budgeted
in his 96-97 budget; however, the purchase of three trailers was
approved. The staff will use the present fleet of trucks.
The following is an estimate of the revised cost figures
submitted by Mr. Woodie:
