Preliminary review of the permit package indicates the following proposed changes:

1. Incorporate the adjacent, 575 Charles Street property – a Chipping and Grinding Operation (2.94 acres) into the 625 Charles Street GreenWaste Material Recovery Facility (6.05 acres) to create a combined 8.99 acre material recovery facility.  

2. Combine material handing operations from the two sites.  Currently, GreenWaste Recovery Facility has a full Solid Waste Facility Permit (Facility No. 43-AN-0019) that allows material receipt of up to 2,000 tons per day (TPD).  The adjacent GreenWaste Materials Recovery Facility (Facility No. 43-AN-0020) operates under an EA Notification that allows chipping and grinding of up to 200 TPD.

3. Increase the maximum daily incoming tonnage to 3,500 TPD (up from the current 2,200 TPD at both sites).

4. Allow the combined facilities to handle the following materials: municipal solid waste (MSW), mixed construction and demolition debris, recyclables, green waste, and compostable materials (organics/food waste).

5. Allow 24 hours per day, 7 days per week operating hours for both sites.
