SWAINTON - The Cape May County Municipal Utilities Authority on Oct. 19 voted to recommend a site on Sunpike Road in Middle Township for the location of the solid waste transfer station to serve the southern part of the county. The CMCMUA’s recommendation now goes to the Board of Freeholders which must amend the solid waste management plan to include the 19.12-acre site which is 1000 feet north of Indian Trail. It will hold a public hearing a 7 p.m. Nov. 10 in the Old Courthouse Building. “We have long known the compelling need for a transfer station to minimize excessive hauling costs to the county landfill for municipalities situated in the southern part of the county,” MU A Executive Director George Marinakis stated, "but we were thwarted several times in locating a site."

authority decided to put the transfer station pn the same site as the Wildwood/Lower wastewater treatment plant on Route 47 in Rio Grande. It was forced to abandon that location because the state wetlands regulations ■ reduced the size of the site usable for construction which made it too small for both the treatment plant and the transfere station. MARINAKIS SAID an attempt to locate the transfer statioq.on the grounds of the county owned airport was blocked by the Federal Aviation Agency. That decision also prohibited development of a transfer station within 10,000 feet of the airport which is applying to the FAA to accept turbo-jet aircraft. “That decision really left sites in Middle and Lower Townships and West Cape May as the only ones practical enough to provide the necessary cost savings," Marinakis noted. A typical solid waste transfer station was described by Ted O’Neill CMCMUA solid waste manager, as a light industrial type building into which municipal and private trash haulers drive

their trucks.

“The solid waste is dumped on the floor, pushed by loaders into a hopper, then compacted into fully enclosed container boxes that are loaded onto larger trucks and transported to the landfill for same-day disposal,” O’Neill stated. "All of the solid waste is removed everyday,” O'NeilTcontinued, “and the entire operation is enclosed. niere is no overnight or outdoor storage of refuse.” O’NEILL SAID .the transfer station at this site will be well located to serve the communities of Middle and Lower Townships, the Cape Mays and the Wildwoods. Most southcentral communities will be within 5 to 10 miles of the new station. The communities served by this new facility, especially Middle Township, will benefit by the savings in haul costs to the new regional landfill. The average distance to the regional landfill located in the Woodbine-Upper Township area for most of these communities is well over 20 miles one way. If the MUA recommended site is approved by the Board of Freeholders, the residents who live near the presently operating existing landfills will also benefit by the elimination of truck traffic through their neighborhoods accor-

ding to O’Neill.

“The location has another important advantage." O’Neill said. "It is zoned light industrial and the transfer station will be entirely compatible in appearance and operation with other light industrial uses permitted in this area," O’Neill stated. The Authority's transfer station environmental consultant, Joseph Lomak, I reported that this site is preferred based on the environmental criteria used in their study. The site is zoned industrial by Middle Township, it has sufficient area, it is separated from I

residential and commercial land uses that may be impacted by such a project, local traffic patterns would not be significantly effected, utilities are located relatively close to the site, sensitive en ; vironmental areas can be avoided and the site is central to the proposed service area.
