First of all, the incinerator option was never financially viable (without the help of wildly optimistic and irresponsible assumptions). Second, the commissioners should definitely not be considering rushing to a long term agreement in the last few weeks of their term. EXCERPT: The incinerator option became less financially viable for the county when its project partner, Carroll County, backed out of the effort earlier this year. After losing its partner, Frederick County began seeking proposals for alternatives to the incinerator. Five vendors submitted proposals, three of which involved out-of-state landfills and two of which involved existing waste-to-energy facilities. Compared to the landfilling options, the disposal rates for the two waste-to-energy alternatives are significantly higher, according to the report.
