Items Relating to Solid Waste Programming and Infrastructure Improvements.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
A. Resolution 2019-047 Authorizing the Execution of an Intergovernmental Agreement for Solid Waste
Programming and Infrastructure Improvements.
B. First Reading of Ordinance No. 063, 2019 Amending the Code of the City of Fort Collins to Direct Mixed
Construction and Demolition Materials to the Future Larimer County Construction and Demolition Waste
Processing Facility, Upon Its Completion.
The purpose of this item is to consider joining an intergovernmental agreement (IGA) with Larimer County and
other Regional Wasteshed Coalition partners for solid waste infrastructure proposed in a 2018 Larimer County
Master Plan (Resolution 2019-047), and consider an ordinance directing all mixed loads of construction and
demolition waste to a future County-owned sorting facility, once that facility is built (Ordinance No. 063, 2019).
The proposed intergovernmental agreement with Larimer County provides a framework for collaboration
between the parties that can lead to future infrastructure development. The agreement does not obligate the City
to enact any specific policies and consideration of local diversion measures will be based on established
principles of stakeholder engagement for innovation. Larimer County is obligated under the IGA to fund and
construct new facilities if enough recyclable/compostable material is expected to reach them. Adopting the
recommended building code changes would cause Larimer County to begin development of a sorting/recycling
facility for construction and demolition waste.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends adoption of the Resolution and Ordinance on First Reading.

Agenda Item 23
Item # 23 Page 2
At the January 15, 2019 regular meeting Council approved a resolution supporting the Integrated Solid Waste
Master Plan and directing staff to develop an intergovernmental agreement and specific code changes for review
(Attachment 3).
During the February 12, 2019 work session Council expressed project support and gave direction to prepare a
resolution to adopt a Solid Waste Intergovernmental Agreement and an ordinance to amend the Fort Collins
building codes to increase landfill diversion of construction and demolition waste.
Larimer County Board of County Commissioners and Loveland City Council both unanimously adopted the
Intergovernmental Agreement for Solid Waste Programming and Infrastructure Improvements at their respective
meetings on March 19, 2019. Estes Park Town Board will be considering the IGA April 23rd.
Fort Collins City Council has been represented on the Policy Advisory Committee of the Wasteshed Coalition
since 2016 by Mayor Troxell and Councilmember Cunniff.
Master Plan
On December 19, 2018 the Larimer County Planning Commission unanimously approved a Solid Waste
Infrastructure Master Plan (Master Plan) that establishes a road-map for creating recycling and waste diversion
facilities, fully funded by Larimer County without requiring financial investment from the City of Fort Collins. The
Master Plan is the result of a three-year regional collaboration to plan for what comes after the Larimer County
landfill reaches capacity (2024) and to improve the local waste and recycling system, providing strategic
implementation opportunities for Fort Collins’ Zero Waste goals.
The Master Plan proposes new solid waste facilities and infrastructure (funded by Larimer County) and
supportive policies (considered by the parties). While Larimer County has the funding to build new resource
recovery facilities, municipal partnerships and policies are needed to make sure there is enough material
generated to make these regional assets work.
The Master Plan includes analysis of the following facilities:
Tier 1: to be constructed in the
near term
Central Transfer Station
New County Landfill
Yard Waste Composting Facility
Food Waste Composting Facility *
Construction and Demolition Recycling Facility *
Tier 2: to be assessed annually for
feasibility
Clean Material Recovery Facility for Single Stream Recyclables *
Anaerobic Digestion for Food Scraps
Tier 3: for future consideration Waste to Energy
Refuse Derived Fuel Processing
* requires policy/programs directing materials to the facility for construction to commence
Resolution - Intergovernmental Agreement
The Intergovernmental Agreement for Solid Waste Programming and Infrastructure Improvements (IGA) outlines
how the communities can work together to trigger infrastructure development through a combination of code
changes and programs to send waste materials to resource recovery facilities. The IGA does not commit the
parties to take specific actions; it is left up to each community to consider appropriate, local diversion policy.
Larimer County will wait to initiate development of the food scrap composting facility, construction and demolition
waste sorting facility, and the recycling center upgrade until it is clear that each facility will receive enough waste
material to be viable.
Obligations of Larimer County
The County has the bulk of the substantive obligations under the IGA. The County agrees to:
Agenda Item 23
Item # 23 Page 3
o fund, construct, own, and manage new Tier 1 Facilities, including Central Transfer Station, New
County landfill, and Yard Waste Composting Facility, to be operational prior to the closure of the
current Larimer County Landfill
o if minimum thresholds for anticipated waste material are met, initiate construction of the Food
Waste Composting Facility, Construction and Demolition Waste Processing Facility, (Tier 1
Facilities) and Recycling Center Upgrade (Tier 2 Facility).
Obligations of All Parties
o operate and maintain respective solid waste management facilities – including Estes Park
Transfer Station, Fort Collins Timberline Recycling Center and Crushing Operations Facility,
Loveland collection vehicles and Recycling Center, and the Larimer County Solid Waste
Infrastructure System (including rural convenience centers)
o look at local waste diversion policies that may be adopted to support the new Tier 1 resource
recovery facilities
o participate in a County-led solid waste Policy Council
including one elected official and one additional appointee per party
review and consider Tier 2 and Tier 3 facilities at least annually, including waste-to-
energy innovations
o provide services of one or more employees for technical staff support to the Policy Council
o implement hauler licensing programs meeting minimum requirements and manage/enforce
them with reasonable diligence
o coordinate data collection and public outreach
Under the Resolution, Fort Collins consents to the Town of Wellington as an additional party to the IGA if it
so chooses (Town has indicated its intent to join).
The City of Fort Collins’ obligations under the IGA include only the following policies or actions, many of
which are already standard practice or required in Fort Collins:
o hauler licensing
minimum standards in the IGA are consistent with City’s current requirements;
o hauler licensing includes a curbside recycling collection requirement
Fort Collins already requires licensed haulers to provide curbside recycling;
Fort Collins does not direct recycling to a specific recycling facility and the IGA does
not require it to do so;
o encourage segregation of yard waste from landfill disposal
Fort Collins’ licensed residential haulers are all required to offer optional yard waste
collection service upon customer request;
o manage and enforce its own hauler licensing requirements;
o coordinate data tracking of material collected in Fort Collins with other jurisdictions;
o public education and outreach
IGA requires cooperation and use of a jointly-created toolkit;
o participate in the Policy Council
two members – one appointed member, one elected official;
o making one or more of the City’s employees available to serve as the Technical Staff to the
Policy Council;
o operate and maintain its Timberline Recycling Center and Hoffman Mill Crushing Facility for
the term of the Agreement
The City may independently relocate, replace, and/or modify its facilities so long as
not detrimental to the overall operation of the Integrated Solid Waste Management
System.
The possible policies to support new Tier 1 and 2 resource recovery facilities, which may be adopted by the
parties, include measures to direct specific waste materials to certain facilities (i.e., flow control). The IGA only
requires parties to look at such policies – whether or not to enact a flow control ordinance is within the discretion
of each jurisdiction with public and stakeholder input.
Agenda Item 23
Item # 23 Page 4
If a jurisdiction adopts such a policy that will provide the reasonably anticipated minimum of materials, then that
triggers the County’s obligation to construct the relevant facility. Not all communities must adopt flow control for
each material to trigger this obligation with respect to the corresponding facility. Loveland’s agreement to direct
all of its yard waste to the future County facility meets the minimum to compel the County to construct that facility
(both obligations are already included in the IGA for this reason).
The following table explains what is needed for each facility to be developed:
Facility Policy That Would

this agenda item summary
Food Waste Composting Facility TBD Local programs / policy to

Recycling Center Conversion to
Material Recovery Facility (MRF)
Flow control for single
stream recyclables
Not recommended due to
adverse market conditions
Due to the amount of construction and demolition waste generated by projects in Fort Collins, adopting the
Construction and Demolition Waste Recycling Code Change set forth in the Ordinance would meet the
“reasonably anticipated minimum” in the IGA and trigger the County’s obligation to develop the construction and
demolition sorting facility. Staff from Loveland and Larimer County intend to bring forth to their boards flow control
policies for mixed construction and demolition waste in the future.
Ordinance No. 063, 2019 - Construction and Demolition Waste Recycling Code Change
One of the policy opportunities outlined in the Master Plan would be enacted through this ordinance to amend
Fort Collins building codes. Flow control is a legal requirement that all material of a certain type be taken to a
specific facility. In this case, the changes to the Fort Collins building codes would direct all mixed loads of
construction and demolition waste to a future County-owned sorting facility, once that facility is built. Diverting
this portion of the waste stream from landfill would amount to a third of the progress needed to reach Fort Collins’
2025 Zero Waste goal.
Current Situation
The Fort Collins building code currently requires the recycling of four materials (wood, aggregates, metal, and
cardboard) documented through an official construction waste management plan. This means that building sites
often have as many as five separate bins to manage waste (the four recyclable materials and one for trash).
Proposed Policy
Agenda Item 23
Item # 23 Page 5
Flow control for this material would direct all mixed loads of construction and demolition (C&D) debris, including
recyclable and non-recyclable materials, to the County-owned C&D sorting facility. The policy would only come
into effect once the Construction and Demolition Debris Sorting Facility is constructed and would be in place for
a period of 10 years. The primary goal of the policy is to significantly increase landfill waste diversion by ensuring
enough material is delivered to the C&D sorting facility for it to become a viable regional asset with enough
output to kick-start regional end markets.
Because the IGA states that having minimum volumes of waste material will trigger the construction of a new
sorting facility, this one policy change in Fort Collins alone (which is reasonably anticipated to meet the minimum
volume) can initiate and move the C&D sorting facility to the “build list”.
The existing system would remain an option for builders because flow control would not apply to recyclables
sorted on site (as is the practice currently), but it would allow “all-in-one-bin” service for collection of mixed loads
of trash and recyclables from building sites that prefer that option.
Key takeaways for C&D flow control policy
All co-mingled loads of C&D debris would have to be directed to a specific, County-owned facility
Although the building code would change now, the requirement would only be triggered by Larimer County’s
construction of an operational facility (by 2023)
Requirement would be in effect for ten years from when the new facility begins accepting materials
Code change would apply to the same sizes and types of construction projects as current recycling
requirements
New system would provide the convenience of “all-in-one-bin” collection service
Status quo options would remain; separating recyclables on site would be permissible under code
amendments
Comparable Regional Policy
Under the IGA, Loveland has committed the yard waste materials from its collection and drop-off services to be
delivered to a County-owned composting facility, once it is operational. By meeting the minimum threshold for
yard waste Loveland has triggered construction of the Tier 1 Yard Waste Composting Facility, which will provide
regional infrastructure for Fort Collins residents and businesses to utilize.
Additional Relevant Analysis
A Triple-Bottom Line Scan of the proposed project outcomes was conducted in 2018. See Wasteshed TBL-Scan
Summary (Attachment 4) for results.
A “waste characterization” study of material accepted for disposal at the Larimer County Landfill was conducted
in 2016 (Attachment 5). A major finding was that organics (yard trimmings and food scraps), as well as
construction and demolition materials, offer a significant opportunity for waste diversion from landfill. Using 2017
totals, diverting compostable/recyclable material from the C&D portion of the waste stream represents a third of
the progress needed to meet Fort Collins’ Zero Waste goal for 2025 (90% landfill diversion rate).
In response to hauler concerns about increased transfer truck traffic through Fort Collins from the Central
Transfer Station to the New County Landfill, City traffic engineers reviewed the data and provided the following
conclusions:
Arterial roadways, state highways, and interstate
o Current peak vehicular volumes for impacted intersections of 2,500-4,000 vehicles/hour
o Impact of additional truck traffic off-peak – 0.5% to 1.0% increase in traffic (considered nominal)
o During peak volumes – 0.25% to 0.4% (considered nominal)
College Avenue & Trilby intersection has greatest potential impact
o Current design improvements are underway, increasing turn lanes and capacity within the next

two years
Conclusions are based on 50 truck loads per day (100 trips); even doubling that number of trips would not
increase the results above a nominal impact.
CITY FINANCIAL IMPACTS
Regional collaboration for solid waste planning, spurred by the Larimer County Landfill nearing capacity (in
2024), has resulted in a master plan for infrastructure that will divert significant waste from landfills without capital
investment from the City of Fort Collins. Council Finance Committee discussed the project on July 16, 2018.
(Attachment 6)
BOARD / COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION
The Natural Resources and Air Quality Advisory Boards expressed support for adopting a regional
Intergovernmental Agreement for solid waste in letters to Mayor and City Council Members dated November 28
and December 28, 2018. (Attachment 7)
At its February 28, 2019 meeting, the Building Review Board voted unanimously to recommend for adoption
the proposed building code amendments to require mixed loads of construction and demolition waste be
directed to the future Larimer County sorting facility, as presented. (Attachment 10)
PUBLIC OUTREACH
A Stakeholder Advisory Group met seven times between May 2017 and September 2018 to provide input
and review technical and policy information produced by coalition staff.
o Over 50 stakeholders were invited to participate from key sectors, including the business
community, academia, regional governments, waste haulers and recyclers, boards and
commissions, state agencies, and advocacy groups.
Coalition staff met directly with local hauling companies throughout the project, both individually and as a
group, to discuss impacts on their operations. Hauler meetings were held in May, July, and December of
2018. (Attachment 8)
o A special meeting of the Policy Advisory Committee was held on April 4, 2019 to review specific
concerns expressed by members of a hauling company. (Attachment 11)
Staff presented updates to the Local Legislative Affairs Committee of the Chamber of Commerce in January,
April, and November 2018.
Staff solicited targeted feedback on the building code changes from key stakeholders in the building and
hauling sectors during the summer 2018.
Four public meetings in an open house format were held in May 2018 throughout the County and an
informational webpage has been maintained at www.fcgov.com/wasteshed.
