OVERVIEW
How Miami-Dade County completed the Solid
Waste Master Plan with a public outreach process:
• Phase I – Public Input Advisory Process
• Phase II - Solid Waste Advisory Committee
Role and Purpose of the SWAC
• Advise on the Solid Waste Master Plan • Understand the complex issues of solid waste
management • Establish a policy framework for the Master Plan
(goal, objectives, policies) • Review critical elements of the planning process • Endorse a recommended plan by consensus
Role
• Fully inform and involve selected leaders of the community
• Obtain broad based public input on the Solid Waste Master Plan
• Endorse the Master Plan
Purpose
The SWAC Process
Meeting 7 – Develop Consensus Resolution
Meeting 6 - Sustainable Return on Investment (SROI) Evaluation
Meeting 5 - Financial Evaluation
Meeting 4 - Establish Consensus on Scenarios
Meeting 3 - Develop Evaluation Criteria
Meeting 2 - Establish Policy Framework

GOAL:
Provide solid waste services and facilities that support beneficial land use and growth patterns and economically promote public health, sanitation, environmental protection, and operational efficiency, based on an equitable funding system.
OBJECTIVES:
1 Provide solid waste services and facilities to meet existing needs and support growth identified in the Future Land Use Element.
2 Set a high priority on reducing the amount of waste requiring disposal through waste reduction, recycling, and materials reuse.
3 Develop and maintain flexibility in the operation of the solid waste management system.
4 Collect, transfer, and transport solid waste as economically as possible while protecting the health and safety of the community.
5 Dispose of solid waste in an environmentally sound and economical manner.
6 Maintain programs to minimize the generation of household hazardous waste and ensure safe disposal.
7 Develop and maintain an equitable system of funding solid waste management services while supporting other solid waste management objectives and policies.
Develop a Policy Frame Work, With a Goal, Objectives and Policies
Evaluation Criteria
NUMBER CRITERIA DEFINITION
1 Provides firm solid waste management capacity Reflects how well an alternative provides capacity that can be relied upon now and in the future.
2 Contributes to source reduction, reuse, or recycling and preserves landfill space
Evaluates how well the alternative reduces the waste stream, or promotes recycling, reuse of a portion of the waste stream, or preservation of landfill space.
3 Environmental impact Considers the impact of the alternative on the environment and uncertainties associated with potential environmental impacts. Environmental impacts include air, surface and ground water, biological resources, visual impacts, odor, noise, and cultural resources.
4 Compliments existing system and facilitates integrated waste management
Evaluates how well the alternative matches the existing County waste management system, the impact on jurisdictions located within the County, the County’s ability to control waste disposal, and the level of flexibility for handling diverse types of waste in the alternative.
5 Provides ability to maintain system flexibility
Evaluates the impact of the alternative on the overall flexibility of the County’s solid waste system, such as the ability to implement proven and economical new technologies and operating practices over time.
6 Cost Addresses the average life cycle cost per ton of implementing the alternative. The cost includes capital, replacement, operations, maintenance, and revenue for the term of the project, and the present worth of all future costs and revenues, and compares these costs to the base line or status quo.
