Engineer Dave Heinrich will solicit proposals from the original 12 firms, while finalists remain three. Costs cited range from 25 to 50 dollars per ton versus current landfilling at about 7 dollars. The move comes after a 1990s Wright landfill DER citation and lease talks with Eglin Air Force Base.
