anchor Description
The Shady Grove Processing Facility and Transfer Station was constructed in the 1980s and required significant upgrades to sustain safe and reliable operations. The newly constructed infrastructure is County-owned and County-maintained and requires a comprehensive, site-wide preventative maintenance plan to ensure continued safe and uninterrupted operations.
The County-owned infrastructure includes new scales and scale house, an administrative building, fire detection and fire suppression systems, and all new power infrastructure including new generator. Proper maintenance and upkeep of these assets are essential to operational continuity and facility safety.
anchor Justification
The Shady Grove Processing Facility and Transfer Station processes significant volumes of municipal waste daily. Facility operations rely on both operational equipment and County-owned infrastructure to support safe and effective waste processing. The County-owned infrastructure requires dedicated capital investment and ongoing maintenance to ensure continued functionality and safety.
This capital project focuses mainly on the County-owned infrastructure at the Transfer Station, including the scales, scale house, administrative building, power infrastructure, fire detection and suppression systems.
anchorFiscal Note
This project shifts capital-eligible expenditures from the operating budget into the capital budget to properly locate facility maintenance expenditures.
