Cook Country Transfer Station Facility Project
Construct a transfer station facility to improve solid waste processing in Cook and eastern Lake County. Managing waste in an indoor facility will reduce or eliminate the risk of pollutants becoming air-borne or leeching into ground water. Protecting Lake Superior from forever chemicals such as PFAs; addresses climate impacts by reducing the amount of fossil fuels used; and creates operational efficiencies that ensure a sustainable operation both now and into the future.
This project will:
- Reduce negative environmental impacts to water, soil and air quality
- Reduce fossil fuel and CO2 emissions
- Control costs through operational efficiencies
- Built ready to incorporate emerging technologies
