].. Problem Statement
The joint. nurchasing office for the city, the county, and the
St. Paul Schoo7. District purchases a tremendous diversity of material .
It has not effectively screened the products anci services that �re
purch4sed. for waste reduction and energy conserv�l-.ion characteristics .
This is son�ething tYiat the purcllasing staff has been interested in
but have beer. unable to develop an approach Und t:h� resources to
seriotisl_y eonsic.er how t.heir p.rocedures could reduc.e the amouni., of
solid waste generated k�y the three jurisdictions .
There are sever.a:L pr_odur_t areas that Y�ave a dir_ect waste reduc'._;.on
potent.iaJ.. There is also the need for a gen�ral policy on p�rcl;asinc;
of re.c�rcled mzter. ials rather than virgin rnateria7_s ��rhere si.milar

ment of recycled paper supplies.
' In addition to purchase specifications for recycled materials ,
� there are opportunities to change a product characteristic which could
# reduce the amount of waste packaging, pr.ovide reclaimable containers ,
� improve labelling which would indicate recyclable activity, and invest-
� igate bulk storage ratlzer than small package. purchasing.
� 2. Project Objectives
� Si_nce i�he purchasing function is extremely active and an extensive
operation, the primary objective is to define onportunities for inves�:-
� igation :; existing pracedures that can be changed, and further specify
products ar�d purchasiizg pr.oduct lir�es that are opportunities for invest-
igation of specificati.ons and user needs . The following are areas to
be investig�ted: plastic containers that could be replaced by recycled
paper (Kraft) containers; polyethylene waste bag liners rep].acement
wit.h paper or_ decomposable plastic liners ; screen high volume products
to deteriTU.iic packac�i.rlg and wasi:e characterist�ics ; identify liquid and
��o��,�der products that may be amenaule to bulk rather than small package
Ptirchasing.
It is also necessary to identify purchased service opportunities .
Several have been identifi.ed: employee lunch room vending machines and
related luncll room waste practices ; street paving r_euse of old asphalt
toP coating �rom torn-up streei�s ; building demolition contract specs
th��t may j�r.ovide for recycling of valuable materials ; new building
coiisi-.ruction contract specifications that might provide for waste reduct-
' ion through identifying reuse of construction debris .
3. Work Tasks
TasY. 1 . DeveJ o.p work plan ��rith Purchasing Office director and
staff . Identify industrial practice and examples of
public purchasinq good practice; identify local companies
that havc implemented waste managcrnenL- purchasing pract-
ices .
Task 2 . Develop � work approach based upon consultation with local
purchasii��� experts from indus*�ry and other public juris-
di.ctions , identify ]_iteratur_e sources that describe pro-
cedures and product s�ec:� useful to our a�proach, and
develop a Purchasing sta�j: work grauP for guiding the
invest i gai�ion.

Task 3. Catalog the high volume products and services procured;
de::cl-i_be oper.ating ��r_ocedtires and pui-ch�se guidelines that
afic,c.t product characteristics ; decribe process whereby
user or purchaser develops original product specification.
T�slc 4. Discuss potentially useful analysis procedures : value
enc�iileering, life cycle costing, fixed asset preventive
maintenance rc:cording systems , and the development of
a user product specification work group.
T�sk 5. Produce a study report identifying individual product
opportunities , procurement procedure changes, contract
spccifications , product labellinc�, user awareness, and
inforiTlation systems changes which will lead to waste
reduction opportunities . The report will be a descriptive
. study of current activities and procedures with recommend-
ations for immediate implementation of obvious corrections
and the work plan for further study and assessment.

1. Problein Staternent.
The City of St.. �'atil has been invo]_ved in utilizati.on of wood
wastes frorn its Sh�ci� �i'ree Di�ease Contr_ol Prograir� since 1977 . A
$620, 000 st.atior.ary chipping plant tifas constructed in 10 acres of
Port Authority Land in St. Pau1 . The init�.al construction costs were
financed k:y tlle Dep�rtment of Agricul.ttir_e Shade Tree Progr_am (50 Percent)
and the Cities of St. Paul and Minneapolis (25 Percent each) .
The Pig ' s Eye �Vood Rer_ycling Ceni.er was leased to a nrivate vendor
who operaLe.s the site and m�rkets cnips and saw logs to cover operating
costs. Approxiniately 6II, 000 cubic ��ardti of wood chiPs were sold in
1980.
The site and t:he chippinc� oPerations were initial].y developed
to provide Z>ulp chi.Ps for markets which no longer exist. The vendor
is sellinr wood chips primarily to traditional wood product markets .
However, tl�ere may b� mare aPpr.opriate er:d us� m�rkets for the F�ood

2• Project Objectives
It .i.s aritici���itcd ttlat disposal of urban tree waste from disease
control and mainteriance programs will continue. Dutch elm �isease
will conti.nuc the dest=ruction of the urban elin forest; while oak �,vilt
has not been a severe problein yet, it could emerge as a significant
contributor to metrapolitan tree waste.
In addition, iorestry operations will be an ongoing source of
wood waste. Tree disease and maintenance in the metropolitan area will
place a continued burden on th� City ' s utilization site and its ability
to dispose of material in a sanitary manner.
'I'he effectivc marketing of tree waste is essential to ensure the
continued operation of the Pig' s Eye Wood Recycling Center as a disposal
sii�e. Determinirig i�he appropriate product mix is a key element. The
study will investi.gate appropriate new and emerqing markets, marketing
channels, possible unii� prices, production technology and cost to
pr.oduce � saleab]_e ��roduct, and hauling and cutting techniques that
impact poi.ciltial �iiarkets . -

� 1 . Problem Staternent
V One oT tt�e solid waste products from processing water in the
� r4cCarrons Ydai.er Treatm�nt Plant is excess wet calcium carbonate (CaCO3) ,
� which is pr_oduced as part of the water softening process. This sludgc
is rc,cycicd in a hi _qh temperat�.ire kiln to produce calcium oxide that
� is then put_ back into the water treatm�nt process . Excess sludge is
,��uniped out t.o a waste storage pond which is now nearing cnpacity.

to reactor entry, to reduce the confinement time necessary in the

� that approxi.�nately 15�� more through-put might be obt�ined. This
woul.d reduce the amount of sludge disposed by ponding by 3, 000 cubic
yard:, per y���r. A prc�-iniPlementation enc�ineering study of the reactor
is appropriatc� to detcrrnine if potential improvements can be made and� '
if further design studies should be initiated. The Black and Veatch
Consulting Lngineerinc� I'irm would be engagcd to assist in reactor
through-put analysis .
� 2. Project Ubjectives
The study will determine the feasibility of changing the operation
of the lime }�iln by design changes and by potentially changing the
input feed into the kiln. If_ the kiln can increase its capacity to
conver.t lime sludge, this me�ris that less sludge is produced which
ultimatel.y must be marketed and disposed of. The primary objective is
• to increase the through-put capacity of the lime kiln, and to thereby
�� reduce sludge disposal .

Wor.Y. Plan
1. Probl.em Si.atement
Proper waste manauement }las become a critical issue over the
past twenty .years. NZtionwide studies show that we are running out
of cle��n air, cl_ean t•�ater and landfill space in which to clispose of
our waste materials , and the need to reduce and recycle wastes has
become critical to our survival.
As fut.ure environrnental c�ecision makers, students need to
understanc3 the prohle;ns involvccl in thc handl_ing of wastes c�cnerated
by socicty. In prcparinq students f�r thc�_r future , educai�ors must
assist them in understanding tl:e r�roblcm and provide the resources
for them to dev�]_op appropriat:e solutions.
St. Paul educator_s have dernonstrated their concern aboui� the
problem c�f e,�istes hy ��articip<-�tion in Earth Uay l�arning activities,
Arbor Day activities , clean-up-]_itter activities, ancl in classroom

into the regula.r curriculum.
:� 2. I�i�oblem Obj ectives
Curricultirn mater.ials will be desiqncd and put in ��lace to teach
the conccpts ancl principles o£ appropriate waste management as an
impozt�nt part of enviro�zillental education, incl_udinq enerqy mana e-
ment , conserva�ion of natural resour_ces , and protection of the g
environmc�nt. A major goal of the curriculum will be to change
attitucles and bellavior concerning the wasteful use of resources.
13eca.use the most effective way to learn is by doing, this
curricu]_um will encourac�e student participation projects in waste

; society of improper and wasteful use of resources. Emphasis on
� undersi.anding the relati_onship of finite waste handling capacities
� of our. air, water and land, limited r_esourc�s, and an increasing
popul.at:ion will lead to a sense of individual responsibility for
; personz]_ ancl environmental decisions that shane the future of not
, only ot�r corilmunit,y, but our world as �.ell. Based on the concerns
addressed in the P�linnesota Waste Management Act of 1G80, the waste

; 1. Problem Si�atement
;
j One` o� the sol.id waste products �rom processing water in the
McCarrons W�ter `1'reatment Plant is excess wet calcium carbonate � (CaCO3} ,
' which is produced as part of the water softening process . This sludge
, is recycled in a high temperature kiln to produce calcium oxide that
is then put back ir.to the water treatm�nt process . Excess sludge is
pum��ed out to a waste storag� pond wllich is now ncaring capacity. It
is int.endeci to develop a marketing plan for disposa_l of stored sludge.
', Marketin�� excess sludge caTi promote r.ecovery of thi.s pot�ded solid waste.
�
; 2'h�� McC��rrons plant has been ponding lime sludge since 1940 . It
is estirnat�d that approxim��t:ely 47 acr_es are uscd for pond storage
conta:iriing =;.�ppro�.imatc�ly �• �1. inillion cubic yards of lime sludge, which
s is bett•�cen 50-60i water. 'I'h�re has been sorne eFfort at marketing the
' ponded .:ludg�, but-. it has bf:�n inconsistent and has noi. had the eifect
j i�hat a scr. ious market rese�rch stud could
Y provide. It is known that
CcilClUlll carbonate has a potential buffering effect on acid soi.l and that
. ' it c�n r. aise the P1; of- thes� acid soils . It also has soine potcntial

wasl.e pror�]_c�in, in 19G9 tl�e uti.lity constructed a ki.ln to recycle lime
sludge into a rcusable forrn, thereby reducing the need for ponding.
However, thc ut_ilit:y ' s ki].n is no�a oper�-�t.i_ng at maximum c�p�city so
that only 8U:o of ihe soft�ned water lime sludge is now recycled.
2• Project Objectives
This pr.oposed mal-keting stucly will attempt to determine the
market for ac�r_ icultural soil amendment material from lime sludge, and
other industrial and }IOrticultural uses of this potentially valuable
product. I� as irnpor-tarit to the water utility to beging to reduce its
� ponded storc�c3�: area aild to implement reir�oval of this material . An
initial market study design will be developed with known marketing
� channels and distribution firms contactc,d. This will include discussions
; with Ag Extensi.on and other farm contact agencies that can provide
a useful distribution and marketing information . The outcor,�e of this
� preliminary i-;�rketing analysis will lead to possible further market
development efforts, a potential k�id offering througn the City ' s bid
� process, and developmen� of corlunodity eachange infol-rnation with other
� industrial wastc producers .

� .
; Task 1 . �urther. specify the composition, volurne, characteristics,
! and removal issues of the existin

Task 2. Develop a bid proposal to engage appropriate agricultural
product marketing consultant assistance in assessing the
; mar);et potential �nd
possib] e �mending of othcr agricultural
' products by inclusion of this byproduct. The marketing
' consultant, will be assisted by staf_f working with the
� water utility an� tf-�� public titiolks llepartment .
Task 3 . The City will work with the Purchasing Department to dev-
; el.op a poteiitial vendor list or a bid spec if the preliminary
; st_udy suggests that �,�e can go directly to marketing. If
it appears thut further marl:et analysis is nec�ssary, then
� a pl.an will be developed for ph�se I7 of- this in�rket act-

Recycl.i_iig Unl.i_mi.ted is a communi_ty-bascd, recycling organizati_on
��' that has be�n operating in St.. Paul sinc� 19G9 . In 1977 Recycling
Un]_imited formed a non-profii� organizati_on and has been steadily
j incrc��sinc3 their recyc].iric� ar.tivit_ies ever 5ince.
� The latest and largest ekpansion occurred in September_ 1980 when the
� City of St. Paul an�7 Recycling Uizlimited n�c�otiated and sic�ned a contract.
# This contract requires RecycJ_iny Unlin;ited to cont.inue to provide curb-
� side pick-up recycling services in the areas� of those district planning
� councils of_ the City �•:Izich are now participating in the existing program.
a Recycling tTnlimited further agreed to expand curbside pick-up to other
� districts within the City and to expand within districts as rapidly as
is feasible. Tl7e C.ity agreed to pay Rccycling Unlimiteu $80 , 000 for
; services provided frorn September 1, 1980 to December 31, 1981 .
Because Recycling Unlimited is e�;panding quickly, their management,
equipment and operation needs will change. Recycling Unlimited would like
to study and plan for the new managemcnt and operating techniques that
they will need to implement in order to continue to provide their recyclin�_,.
s�rvice to more citizens of St. Paul .
2. Project Objectives
� This pr.oposed manaqemen` study has three prirnary objectives. First,
to obtain nl��nagement. and oper_�itions recorrsner.dations for Recycling
Unlimited staff from the business consultants contracteci. Second, by
July 1981 a r.eport will be submitted to the PCA containing some ot the
r.econunendations and information that wi.11 assist other recycling organ-
