Consider recommending adoption of an ordinance of the City of Denton, Texas authorizing the expenditure
of funds for payment by the City of Denton to Texas Commission of Environmental Quality (TCEQ) for
waste disposal fees; and providing an effective date (waste disposal fee in the total amount of $280,000).

In accordance with 30 TAC 330.675, The City of Denton Landfill is required to submit a Municipal Solid
Waste Fee Report to the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) each quarter. This report
includes the amount of waste received for processing or disposal in the designated reporting period, which
the TCEQ uses to calculate the City's quarterly waste disposal fees. The fee is calculated and billed in
accordance with 30 TAC 330.673 and is currently set at a rate of $0.94 per ton. Failure to submit payment
for the required fee by the designated due dates can lead to the revocation of the City's landfill permit, which
authorizes Solid Waste to process and dispose of waste.
In FY 2017-18, the Solid Waste department disposed of 2i9,298 tons of waste and paid the TCEQ disposal
fees totaling $262,540.12. The amount recommended for Council approval is a not to exceed amount of
$280,000, which covers waste disposal fees starting on 9/O1/2018 and concluding on 8/31/2019, per the
TCEQ reporting year.

amount not-to-exceed $2$0,000.
