Getting Garbage & Trash from Here to There Under Study

SWAINTON The firm of Barton and Loguidico of Liverpool, N.Y. was selected last Wednesday by the Cape May County Municipal Utilities Authority to examine solid waste transfer station alternatives for the southern part of the county. George Marinakis, MUA executive director, said the contract was awarded to the company after a review of two firms which submitted proposals. Barton and Loguidice will perform a feasibility study of alternative solid waste transfer systems for transporting solid waste from theV

include an assessment of alternative sites for either a single> or multiple transfer station concept. "IF THE ECONOMIC feasibility of a transfer station is established by this study, the scope of services to be provided by this firm could be expanded to include additional design and construction management services should the Authority and the municipalities utilize the solid waste /transfer facilities designed to proceed with this approach," Mr. Marinakis stated. The MUA sought the services of an engineering firm experienced in

southern end of Cape May \ transfer station design and County to the MUA's pro- —operation in an effort to posed landfill in the ISIce the cost of transporWildwood/Upper Township ting solid waste to the landarea. This study will also fill to be built in the nor-

Town to Get a Horse

(and Buggy)

bv Jacob Schaad Jr. CAPE MAY - The horse and buggy are coming back to CapeMay, apparently to replace the bicycle rickshaw. Beverly Carr of Court House got favorable reception from City Council Monday night on her proposal to try out a horse and buggy means of transportation here in September. She owns an Arabian Polish bred horse, officially named Baskeri but which she calls Spiderman. MISS CARR wants to hook up her horse, now in training in Marlyland, to a buggy and parade it around Cape May after Labor Day. If it’s successful, she plans to augment it with another horse and carriage next summer. Each buggy will carry four passengers and will provide "an intimate type of romantic tour." according to Miss Carr. She plans to wear a period dress with bonnet in driving the carriage around the city.

"I plan to do the whole nine yards," said Miss Carr who is a respiratory therapist at the Burdi^te Tomlin Hospital. WHILE COUNCIL gave her idea enthusiastic support, the governing body’s major concern was over street cleaning problems the horse might cause. Miss Carr promised proper sanitary measures will be taken. Some weeks ago the council approved a bicycle rickshaw concept for the summer months. The rickshaws were seen briefly on the Cape May streets, but apparently have gone east again. "Rickshaws are so unvictorian,” said Miss Carr who got her idea from another Victorian city. Charleston. S.C. She now will make final arrangements with City Manager Fred Coldren and hopes to begin her service in another month if Spiderman is ready.

them part of the County. "“Barton and Loguidice have designed and managed construction of over 40 refuse transfer stations during the past eight years and is one of the solid waste industry's leading design firms in this area," Ted O'Neill, MUA solid waste manager said. AN EARLIER effort to locate the transfer station at the site of the proposed Wildwood/Lower Region wastewater treatment plant on Rt. 47 in Middle Township proved to be too costly. At a meeting earlier this year among MUA, municipal officials and solid waste haulers, it was unanimously agreed to pursue the transfer station concept but in a new direction. "We’ll be looking at all the alternatives," O'Neil said, "including one location and multiple minitransfer stations." MUA members were advised at the Wednesay night meeting that the value engineering workshop on the design for the new landfill will be conducted August 3 thru 6. "The V.E. team from

Camp. Dresser. ( McKee; Pandullo Quirk Associates, the design engineers; and the MUA staff will bk seeking ways to reduce the costs of building and operating the new sanitary landfill." O’Neill stated,*" with a final report to be submitted to the authority by the end of August. MR. O’NEILL ALSO noted the August 17 public hearing scheuled at the Middle Township Municipal hall on the expansion/closure plans for the Mar-Tee Middle landfill This landfill currently receives 60-70 percent of the solid waste in the county. "The New Jersey Dept, of Environmental Protec-* lion will be conducting the hearing," O'Neill explain ed. 'Mar-Tee, the NJDEP and the MUA are parties to a court order requiring the ^5 closure of the Mar-Tee / landfill no later than July 1. , 1983* The closure should coincide with the opening of our new sanitary landfill scheduled for the spring of . next year This hearing means that the pressure will really be on us to move

rapidly toward the completion of our landfill project. "If we are not able to pro vide a replacement disposal facility by* next

summer, we will have an extremely serio^ solid waste disposal<problem in Cape May County," Mr.

O’Neill said >’
