APPENDIX B

DESCRIPTION OF IMPROVEMENTS

The SMaRT Station currently has two completely separate processing systems, one for MSW and one for source-separated curbside recyclables.

The Improvements will upgrade the existing MSW processing system to allow for processing of both MSW and source-separated recyclables (i.e., dual and single-stream collected materials) using a single integrated system.

The project includes removal of existing processing equipment and associated framework/ structures as needed, and the design, fabrication, permitting, supply, and installation of new processing equipment including all related structures (steel and concrete) and equipment supports.

Building modifications including localized equipment foundations, wall cutouts, and conveyor pits may be necessary to accommodate the new equipment.
