Amendment No. 15 to the Cumberland County Solid Waste Management Plan (CCSWMP) was created to strengthen the County’s ability to compete in a deregulated solid waste market while maintaining environmental integrity and cost-effectiveness. Key updates include: Landfill Expansion & Permit Modification: Added Block 76, Lots 18 and 19, and portions of Lots 2, 3, and 4 in Deerfield Township to the CCSWC permit area. Increased landfill volume by 2.2 million cubic yards (1.4 million tons of disposal space) without raising the permitted peak elevation or footprint. Increased the annual disposal rate from 149,000 to 200,000 tons/year. Supported by a revised Environmental Impact Statement and NJDEP approval. Disposal Program Strategy: Developed a multi-faceted plan to maintain low tipping fees without imposing an Environmental Investment Charge (EIC). Plan includes securing disposal contracts for up to 1 million tons, utilizing $5 million in escrow for closure costs, and leveraging retained earnings to meet debt obligations. Strategy designed to preserve landfill capacity and maintain Cumberland County’s competitive edge in waste management. Kennedy Concrete Inclusion: Located at 1983 South East Avenue, Vineland (Block 968, Lot 1), Kennedy Concrete is added as a Class B Recycling Facility for processing recyclable concrete. Federal Disposal, Inc. Inclusion: Located at Block 515, Lot 2, corner of West Chestnut Avenue and Mill Road in Vineland. Designated as a Class A / Class B Recycling Facility and Material Recovery / Solid Waste Transfer Station. Can accept up to 300 tons/day of recyclables (glass, cardboard, concrete, etc.) and 600 tons/day of solid waste (types 10, 13C, and 27). Residuals must be sent to the Cumberland County Solid Waste Complex under a right of first refusal agreement. Environmental Review: An updated Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) addressed impacts of expanded property, increased waste flow, and stormwater management improvements. NJDEP concluded there would be no adverse environmental effects or performance degradation from these changes.
