AMP general manager Andrew Trump told the SIPA board the Frederick site is operating well, phase‑two design should reach 90% next month, financing documents were out for signature and AMP hopes to close soon; Trump also reviewed diversion metrics showing YTD biochar‑eligible material at 33% and an August landfill reduction dip tied to trailer timing and a temporary sorting test.

SPSA staff presented and the board adopted revisions to the authority's strategic operating plan, including operational responsibility clarifications, updated capacity numbers and the addition of an extended-hours rate schedule; the resolution passed by roll-call vote.

SPSA staff reported the new leachate concentrator (evaporator) can process roughly 55–56,000 gallons per day (≈1.6 million per month) and that HRSD will pay SPSA approximately $4,000,000 related to the evaporator installation; acceptance testing began in October and the concentrator is reducing pump-and-haul needs.
