A. Approve the International Paper Company temporary construction Easement for a non-exclusive easement and right-of-way, granting Escambia County permission to enter and use the surface of certain property situated in Escambia County, Florida, described in "Exhibit A" of the Agreement, for the purpose of allowing alternative access to the Escambia County Beulah Landfill with heavy equipment, including but not limited to dump trucks, excavators, bulldozers and loaders, for a term of one year; and

BACKGROUND:

Due to April/2014 Flood event, access to the north section of the closed Beulah Landfill was damaged as well as the storm water management system in the north section of the landfill. Alternate access to this area is available from the adjacent International Paper Company property. As a condition to granting access, International Paper Company requested that the County perform a survey of the access easement. On January 19, 2017, the Board of County Commissioners approved the License Agreement to perform the survey, which has been completed. The License Agreement further provided that upon completion of the survey, a Temporary Construction Easement would be required in order for County staff and contractors to be able to enter the north section of the Beulah Landfill from International Paper's property, to perform the necessary repairs.

BUDGETARY IMPACT:

Funding for this project is available in Fund 401, Solid Waste, Cost Center 230304, Object Code 54901. International Paper Company has not assessed a fee.
