Gansluckner reported that he and Hayducsko have been meeting with the municipalities under the
County's responsible unit program. They are auditing the 1994 numbers reported to the County by the
municipalities and need to have all receipts and records in our office. Gansluckner also noted that they
are "getting the first six months figures for 1995 in order to work on the 1996 projections. Hayducsko
stated that the grant amount is up by 10% - 15%.
Waste -to -Energy Facility Update
d) Plant Operation -Hayducsko reported that one unit is burning. ARR is getting waste from some of
the small haulers operating in the County and receiving approximately 30 tons a day. He further noted
that ARR is working on unit number two but because of problems with staff leaving and the new staff
not having any experience, they are not able to get it running. Hayducsko noted that the Health Center
will not be purchasing steam, and the facility is not be producing electricity at this time. He further noted
that there is leachate in the ash and there is fly -ash on the ground around the baghouse.
Roger Merrill from the Town of Troy addressed the Committee on the Town of Troy's interest in seeing
the Waste -to -Energy facility continue to operate. He explained that the cost to a community when a
landfill is contaminated are high and there are many problems that follow with the cleanup. Chairperson

County participation and let the facility run as a private enterprise.
