acceptance of C&D and MSW in Phase I could be up and running quickly. Phase 11 would require time for permitting and the installation of a temporary structure. However, Mr. Mowbray stated that the existing facility could be utilized for just the residuals, but that they were attempting to keep the facility open to MSW and C&D for the local market, because it made the most financial sense. Chairman Laurent inquired about which plan Recycling Solutions was proposing and Mr. Mowbray responded that the Board could choose. Regarding propane, the Chair inquired about the number of rail cars that would be used. Mr. Podgurski responded that propane rail cars were very expensive so they would be moved quickly. Mr. Podgurski stated that there would likely be one or two rail cars at the site, depending upon the season. Mr. Podgurski added that many distributors utilized both trucking and rail. The Chair inquired where a propane operation would take place and Mr. Mowbray responded that it would be one of two tracks located near the paved area. Mr. Tilton inquired about benefits to the towns and residents. Mr. Mowbray responded that the propane would be a wholesale operation and any savings could be passed on to contractors though he was unsure how it would trickle down to residents. Mr. Barrett inquired about the transportation of material to the Cape and the triggering of a Cape Cod Commission DRI. Mr. Murphy responded that they expected review to be completed concurrently with the DEP. Ms. Rooney confirmed that it would likely trigger a review for a DRI modification and recommended that Recycling Solutions contact the regulatory staff for more information. Mr. Mowbray stated that traffic was not being added as trucks returning to the Cape would not be empty. Mr. Goddard inquired about fines and Mr. Mowbray responded that C&D fines would be separate. Regarding propane, Mr. Hunt stated that there were likely special regulations with JBCC and Sandwich Fire Departments. Additionally, JBCC may have security issues with propane stored on site for any period of time, and the use would need to be cleared by the Base. Mr. Podgurski indicated that the State Fire Marshall would make the decision, adding that he had been in contact recently with the Army National Guard regarding potential uses. Mr. Scipione inquired whether there had been a discussion with DEP regarding C&D by truck and MSW by rail, without changing the permit. Mr. Murphy confirmed that they had discussed a change in permit but not both commodities. Mr, Richard inquired if they had considered an exact location for the temporary structure and Mr. Mowbray responded that they had identified the existing rectangle asphalt area, adding that there was some flexibility. 2:15 p.m. Cavossa Disposal Corporation Mr. Cavossa distributed copies of their response to Board questions. Mr. Cavossa stated that his vision for the site was similar to what the Board was seeking. Cavossa is currently the largest C&D commercial hauler on Cape, so converting to a C&D transfer station made sense. Other options were needed for end disposal pricing for C&D and MSW prices have increased 35%- 40%, compared to increases of l0%-15% in other regions. Mr. Cavossa stated that he had begun recycling. Mr. Cavossa had recently initiated C&D permitting for their own site, but stopped when the UCRTS opened up the RFP process. Mr. Cavossa shared a map of his existing customer base, located primarily in upper and mid-Cape. Mr. Cavossa intended to first collect 5
