St. Lucie County owns a Class 1 Landfill and other solid waste facilities that generate Leachate. Martin County owns and operates wastewater treatment facilities that have the physical capacity and technical capacity to receive, treat and dispose of St. Lucie’s Leachate. This will be an Interlocal Agreement between Martin County and St. Lucie County that grants St. Lucie the right to deliver up to 50,000 gallons of Leachate every day to Martin’s Designated Facility, which is the Martin Downs Wastewater Re-Pump Facility. St. Lucie will be charged the same rates that Martin County’s other customers pay for the disposal of comparable wastewater. The applicate rate currently is $4.38 per thousand gallons of wastewater.
On December 18, 2018, the St. Lucie County Board of Commissioners approved an Interlocal Agreement with Martin County for the disposal of Solid Waste Leachate.
