Integrated Waste Management Plan; and
WHEREAS, The Member Agencies, acting in coordination with each other and the Authority,
are planning to expand the recycling operations within each of their jurisdictions through a variety of
measures, including the institution of "single stream" recycling; and

materials, and to improve the ability of the Shoreway Center to recover recyclable materials from solid

within the Materials Recovery Facility at Shoreway Center, and operated by Contractor; and
WHEREAS, On November 1, 2007, the SBWMA issued a Request for Proposals for a
qualified contractor to operate the Shoreway Center, transport recyclable materials to various
specialized processors and transport residual solid waste to the Ox Mountain Landfill; and
