Section 2 I Experience/Background landfill and yard waste processing area, open since 1993; • Four leachate pretreatment ponds; • A household hazardous waste collection, storage and processing building; • Yard waste composting and brush collection; and • Citizen's recycling and special waste drop off center for waste tires, white goods, batteries, electronic waste, used oil, mattresses, plastic and glass containers, mixed paper, and cardboard. Each year, the facility receives approximately 40,000 tons of MSW, 10,000 cubic yards of demolition debris, and 5,000 cubic yards of yard waste. The County hosts considerable recreational and entertainment activities. As a result, County facilities must accommodate large swings in MSW, demolition, and problem material disposal. Our services for the County has provided over $4 million in cost savings, financial benefit, and avoided costs. Numerous projects included the planning, design and construction oversight of the citizen's recycling and special waste drop off facility, a resident's waste drop off convenience center, and a new landfill office and scalehouse. These facilities provide a convenient option for customers that do not have access to waste/recyclable collection. Planning and design considered security and customer accountability be forcing all traffic to stop and check in at the scalehouse. The design also improved customer safety by streamlining traffic flow and separating residential traffic from commercial waste traffic. City of Sioux Falls Sioux Falls, South Dakota SAIC has provided the City of Sioux Falls, South Dakota (City) with solid waste consulting services since 2003.

Throughout the past nine years, SAIC has performed planning, permitting, design, management and South Dakota Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) documentation reporting for numerous projects that occurred at the Landfill and for the solid waste program. The size, scope and complexity of the projects have varied, but the commitment to diligent project management and compliance with state and local regulations have remained consistent throughout SAIC's project oversight. The Landfill is the first in South Dakota to have active LFG collection and a beneficial reuse. Descriptions of key projects are provided below.
