Title
Joint resolution adopting a Host Agreement between Veolia ES Zion Landfill, Inc., an Illinois Corporation and Lake County, Illinois and the Solid Waste Agency of Lake County, Illinois.
Staff Summary
· The 2004 Lake County Solid Waste Management Plan, as amended, requires that an applicant proposing to site a pollution control facility in Lake County must first enter into host agreements with Lake County, SWALCO and the governing body (Zion, Illinois) before filing a siting application. The attached agreement would fulfill this requirement.
· The Host Agreement amends the existing 1994 Disposal Agreement to provide a capacity guarantee at the existing Zion Landfill for 2010 and 2011 and for additional host fee payments in 2010 and 2011.
· The Host Agreement provides for additional host fee payments beginning in 2012 and for six years of disposal capacity for up to 300,000 tons per year.
· The Host Agreement allows for environmental audits and requires Veolia to maintain its Property Value Protection Plan and well monitoring program as contained in its host agreement with the City of Zion.
· This is a three party Host Agreement and must also be approved by SWALCO to become effective. SWALCO's Board of Directors is expected to take action on the Host Agreement at its meeting on January 28, 2010.
· This resolution authorizes the County Chair and County Clerk to execute the Host Agreement between Veolia ES Zion Landfill, Inc., an Illinois Corporation and Lake County, Illinois and the Solid Waste Agency of Lake County, Illinois.
