"The Authority operated a solid waste disposal and resource recovery facility, located in Gallatin, Sumner County, Tennessee, which incinerated and disposed of solid waste primarily from the County and the Cities, produced steam for distribution to industrial customers and generated electricity for internal plant consumption. Effective May 5, 2005 the Resource Authority in Sumner County ceased operation of this facility due to a decision not to retrofit the plant to meet compliance with new USEPA air emissions guidelines. This resulted in the discontinuance of steam production and sales. The waste that was disposed of in this facility is now handled through a transfer station onsite and transported to an out of county landfill through contract. The Authority also operated a construction 1 demolition debris landfill for part of fiscal year 2006. This facility was shut down in January 2006 and final closure commenced during fiscal year 2007. Final closure was completed during fiscal year 2008. The Authority began operations of a recycling facility during fiscal year 1992, which ran until the beginning of fiscal year 2006 at which time those operations ceased."
