Midshore II opens on or before January 1, 2011
MES has completed the procurement
documentation and commenced the competitive bidding
process to select the General Contractor to construct
the first phase of the Midshore II Regional Solid Waste
Facility. MES anticipates awarding the initial
construction contract during the Spring of 2009.
The duration of the initial construction phase is
anticipated to take 13 to 14 months to complete,
depending upon the weather conditions encountered during
that period.
Once the facility is substantially
complete during the Summer of 2010, MES will test
systems and begin placing select solid waste materials,
known as the "fluff layer" in the initial landfill
disposal cell. Full operation of the new regional
landfill to accept solid waste from Caroline, Talbot,
Kent and Queen Anne's counties will begin January 2011.
