SECTION 1 <br />AX0622181133PDX 1-1 <br />Introduction <br />This Site Selection Report documents the comprehensive siting process used to prepare <br />recommendations for selection of Kittitas County’s new transfer station (facility) site. The projected <br />population growth and solid waste management needs of Kittitas County, combined with existing <br />Ellensburg Transfer Station (existing facility) challenges and limitations, requires construction of a new <br />solid waste transfer station at a new location. The new transfer station will be designed to address <br />existing facility limitations and support a growing community. The new facility will include a transfer <br />building, composting area, moderate-risk waste (MRW) building, and recycling dropoff area as well as <br />various administrative, parking, and other required elements. The new transfer station development <br />and site selection process is referred to in this report as the project. <br />This Site Selection Report is organized as follows: <br />• Section 1: Introduction <br />• Section 2: Background Information <br />• Section 3: Basis of Design Report Summary <br />• Section 4: Site Screening and Selection Process <br />• Section 5: Public Involvement Activities <br />• Section 6: Final Recommendation and Next Steps <br />Supporting information is provided in the appendixes to this report. <br />
