  3. Business of Hubbard Construction and Mid-Florida Materials • Hubbard started as a Central Florida business in 1920. • Main business is roadway construction. • Employs 470 people. • MFM is a division of Hubbard. • Main business of MFM is borrow pits, C&D debris disposal, and recycling. • MFM accepts C&D debris: steel*, glass, brick, concrete*, asphalt material, pipe, gypsum wallboard, lumber, yard trash*, rocks, soil, land clearing debris (trees)*, clean cardboard*, paper, plastic, wood, and metal scraps*. * Materials that are recycled.

  4. History of MFM C&D Disposal Facility • 1960 – Borrow pit began • 1984 – Started filling in borrow pit with C&D Debris • Orange County Excavation/Fill Permit 1991 - 2012 • 220 Acres – C&D Facility approved in 2000; permit renewal 2007 • For 29 years, has been compatible with surrounding land uses (borrow pits/landfills/agricultural) and neighbors • Approved permits from FDEP and Orange County • Excellent compliance record – no odor or groundwater quality issues • Recycles 30% of debris: wood, yard trash, concrete, and metals • Estimated 81 years of life at 2012 intake rates

  9. MFM C&D Disposal Facility Requested Permit Renewal • All permit renewal requirements of the Orange County Code (Chapter 32, Article V) have been met by the Applicant. • Application submitted 90 days prior to expiration date (December 3, 2012) – submitted application on May 19, 2011 [Section 32-214(10(g)]. • Renewal groundwater sampling event completed 6 months prior to renewal. • Re-evaluation of base grade elevations vs. water table levels completed.

  10. MFM C&D Disposal Facility Requested Permit Renewal • Permit renewals are considered a formality, i.e. a Public Hearing is not required, nor DRC or BZA review, unless the EPD Manager determines that there has been a substantial deviation from the terms and conditions of the permit. The EDP Manager has determined no substantial deviation. [Section 32-214(n)]. • Wekiva Study Area provisions [Section 32-216(c)] do not apply to this legally existing C&D disposal facility prior to the effective date of May 1, 2009 [Section 32-223]. • There is no record, or history, of violations or non-compliance to Orange County Code Chapter 32 [Section 32-217(d)(5)]. • We accept Orange County EPD’s recommendation for permit renewal approval.

  11. Existing Wekiva Study Area Protections • Low Recharge Area – Site specific geologic studies found 70 to 100 feet of clayey sediments under the site to protect the Floridan Aquifer. • Natural site geology attenuates leakage through the waste as shown by 15 years of clean Groundwater Quality Tests. • Groundwater monitoring wells are tested every 6 months. • C&D wastes are not a nutrient concern. • Stormwater Management System of ponds exceeds Wekiva Pollution Abatement standards. • Soil Cover over the C&D reduces infiltration. • Ongoing Operational Best Management Practices. • Site will be a 220 acre open space or park at closure.

  12. C&D Debris vs. Wekiva River Pollution Sources Wekiva River Nutrient Pollution Sources MFM C&D Facility is not a pollution source to the Wekiva River (septic tanks) Source: MACTEC’s Final Report Wekiva River Basin Nitrate Sourcing Study for FDEP and SJRWMD, March 2010

  13. Questions?

  14. Hydrogeologic Cross Section On-site Studies Prove Low Recharge

  15. Landfill Operational Controls MFM has an excellent compliance record

  16. FDEP Definition:Construction & Demolition Debris “Construction and Demolition Debris” means discarded materials generally considered to be not water soluble and non-hazardous in nature, including but not limited to steel, glass, brick concrete, asphalt material, pipe, gypsum wallboard, lumber, land clearing debris, yard trash, and unpainted, non-treated wood scraps, from the construction or destruction of a structure as part of a construction or demolition project or from the renovation of a structure, including such debris from construction of structures at a site remote from the construction or demolition project site.

  17. Protection Area MFM C&D Study Area

  18. 46 Wekiva Protection Area 441 Orange County The facility is not located in the Wekiva Protection Area

  19. on Wekiva Study Area Florida Geological Survey Disclaimer – RI #104: “Application of the vulnerability map on the order of greater than 0.75 square miles (480 acres) is more appropriate. The WAVA Vulnerability map is no substitute for a site-specific hydrogeologic investigation.”
