ZIONS BANK/PUBLIC
FINANCE LANDFILL STUDY REPORT JON BRONSON
Kristine Parker and Jon Bronson presented the Zions Bank/Public Finance
Landfill Study Report. Box Elder County
requested a study to determine appropriate tipping fees for differing levels of
municipal solid waste (MSW) volume to help determine the extent of landfill
service the County wishes to provide to surrounding counties. In addition, the County is interested in
defining the costs associated with a municipal versus a commercial landfill. A model was developed for the Countys
landfill service. The model allows the
County to change several variables associated with landfill operation and see
how those changes impact the cost per ton to process MSW. The report outlined the methodology, fixed
assumptions, variable assumptions, limitations, and summarized conclusions. Ms.
Parker said the model is designed to determine tipping fees required to meet
basic landfill expenses and County revenue expectations. (The Study is on file
in the Recorder/Clerks Office)
