General Description
The I-95 Energy Resource Recovery Facility in Fairfax County is privately owned and operated by Covanta Fairfax, Inc., a subsidiary of Covanta Energy. It is Covanta Energy's largest facility, processing 3,000 tons per day of municipal solid waste for a population of more than 900,000 in the Washington, D.C. suburbs of Fairfax County. The facility sells up to 79 megawatts of renewable energy to Dominion Virginia Power Company -- enough energy to meet the needs of 75,000 homes. It is the first Covanta Energy facility to have a non-ferrous metal recovery system. The Fairfax County Division of Solid Waste Disposal and Resource Recovery oversees operation of the facility and is responsible for providing 930,750 tons of waste each year to the facility. |
