RESOLUTION INTRODUCED BY PUBLIC WORKS COMMITTEE TO AUTHORIZE THE COUNTY MANAGER TO ENTER INTO A MEMORANDUM OF AGREEMENT (MOA) WITH THE VILLAGE OF MONTICELLO TO ACCEPT LEACHATE FROM THE SULLIVAN COUNTY SANITARY LANDFILL (SCSL) IN EXCHANGE FOR SLUDGE DISPOSAL FROM THE VILLAGE WASTE TREATMENT PLANT
WHEREAS, there has been a long-standing agreement for the Sullivan County Landfill to dispose of sludge at no charge from the Village of Monticello Publicly Owned Treatment Works (POTW) in an even exchange for the Village of Monticello POTW to take processed leachate from the Sullivan County Pretreatment Plant for further processing; and
WHEREAS, since the Sullivan County Landfill has closed, the Village of Monticello is required to put out to competitive bid the disposal of sludge; and
WHEREAS, in order to maintain the original long-standing agreement, the County has deducted the cost of the sludge invoices from the Village of Monticello’s Solid Waste Account; and
WHEREAS, The Sullivan County Division of Public Works would prefer that the Village of Monticello be reimbursed directly for the Sludge Disposal rather than it being deducted from the balance of the Solid Waste Account in an effort to keep balances true and accurate.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Village of Monticello will continue to accept leachate from the Sullivan County Pretreatment Plant in exchange for the County paying for the cost invoiced by the successful bidder to remove sludge created at Village of Monticello’s POTW located at 38 Plant Drive in Monticello, NY; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the County Manager be hereby authorized to execute a MOA (Memorandum of Agreement) in such form as approved by the County Attorney with the Village of Monticello for the expenses of the sludge the calendar year of 2026 with four (4) possible one-year extensions.
