Summary:
The City of Olathe’s wastewater treatment facilities generate approximately 5,300 wet tons of biosolids per year. The Johnson County Landfill, owned and operated by Waste Management, is the closest KDHE approved facility for biosolids disposal. Staff evaluated feasible alternatives analysis; other locations were eliminated due to excessive travel distance, lack of KDHE approval, or refusal to accept biosolids.
Staff recommend award of five-year contract with five optional one-year renewals.
