15%Southeast communities look for answers to high cost of trash operations. Published 10:30 am Friday, October 16, 2026 By Larry Persily Wrangell Sentinel Multiple vehicles line up at the entrance of Waste Management's Capitol Disposal Landfill in Lemon Creek. (Clarise Larson/Juneau Empire file photo) | Getting your Trinity Audio player ready... | Getting rid of solid waste - trash, in a single word - is expensive in Alaska, particularly in Southeast communities that lack road access to haul and dump garbage in a nearby landfill. "It's a problem that's never going away," said Tom Wetor, director of Wrangell's Public Works Department and a board member of the Southeast Alaska Solid Waste Authority, or SEASWA. The collection of nine Southeast municipal governments, in conjunction with the Southeast Conference and a consultant, has been working the past 18 months to compile a report on trash disposal costs and challenges in every community in the region. Funded by a $500,000 grant from the federally funded Denali Commission, they launched the Regional Municipal Solid Waste Management Study "to develop a comprehensive, collaborative and sustainable strategy for managing solid waste across the Southeast Alaska region." The goal is to "address the pressing challenges of rising disposal costs and inefficient waste management practices that have impacted community health, safety and the environment." Short- and long-range solutions could include more recycling, composting, shared contracting and equipment purchases to cut costs, burning trash to generate electricity, maybe someday setting up a regional landfill to save the expense of barging waste out of state. "The intent of SEASWA is to reduce or stabilize cost through a combination of long-term disposal contracts and increased diversion through recycling." The draft report, which is available online at Toward a Cleaner Southeast Alaska, is out for public comment through Oct. 31. The Southeast Conference said it wants feedback on the work done so far, which it will use "as we move toward a deeper dive." Wetor and the contractor on the project, Pat Cotter, from the Alaska offices of RESPEC, a global consultancy in environmental, lands, engineering and other areas, reported on their progress Oct. 1 at the Southeast Conference in Ketchikan. It's an annual gathering of municipal, business and community leaders. Cotter said he has been working the past 18 months "digging into" the problems and possible solutions for 35 Southeast communities, focusing on municipal solid waste, not industrial waste. RESPEC collected staffing levels, cost and volume numbers for each community, which are included in the draft report. One of the problems in Southeast, he said, is the "huge geography" of disconnected communities. Maybe the regional group, which currently is run by volunteers and has no paid staff, could negotiate collective trash-hauling contracts to get better rates, Cotter said, or maybe it could organize communities to use the same equipment to share spare parts to reduce costs. Longer-term, the technology is advancing to cleanly and economically burn waste to generate electricity, Cotter said. "In the next 15 years, that is something that is going to be more viable than it is today." Today's more workable ideas include recycling, when and where economically feasible, and fitting more waste into each container, which the Southeast Conference is trying to do with the tire shredder it purchased and shares around the region. Cutting up tires into smaller pieces reduces shipping costs. The shredder started its career in Wrangell a few years ago and now is back in town, probably through the winter, after circulating around Southeast, Wetor said. The Public Works Department director attended a recent meeting in Fairbanks, which included U.S. Sen. Lisa Murkowski, to review trash handling across Alaska. "Everybody was at the table... we're all dealing with the same things." Much of the solid waste produced in Southeast is barged out of state to Seattle, then hauled by rail to a private landfill in Eastern Washington. "We're burying our trash in somebody else's backyard," Wetor said. The City and Borough of Juneau spent almost $700,000 on the collection and shipment of household hazardous waste in 2024, according to the RESPEC community profile. CBJ's recycling contract with Waste Management Solutions cost $445,227.62 and its junk vehicle disposal contract with Skookum Recycling cost $312,146.07. The total cost for collecting, packing and shipping Wrangell's trash came to $1.2 million in 2025, according to the RESPEC community profile. The bill was almost $1.9 million in Petersburg, $6 million in Sitka and more than $1.5 million in Skagway. As costly as all that may seem, it's a fraction of what it could cost to develop and operate an approved landfill for each community to avoid shipping its trash out of town. At an estimated development cost of $30 million, a landfill in Wrangell "is a non-starter," Wetor said. "Diversion, diversion, diversion is the thing we should be doing," to reduce the volume of waste. "The management and disposal of solid waste in Southeast Alaska have posed significant challenges for communities, including rising costs associated with transportation, operations and final disposal," the draft report said. Even larger communities face challenges, including the difficulty of managing an environmentally safe landfill in a region that receives heavy rainfall, or a landfill that is running out of room, which is Juneau's impending problem at the privately owned fill that serves the community.

Hycroft engages engineering firm to assess underground mining options. Hycroft Mining Holding Corporation has announced an update on its exploration activities at the Hycroft mine, located in Nevada, USA, a Tier 1 mining jurisdiction. Underground mining option on Brimstone and Vortex. The company has engaged RESPEC Company LLC to review underground mining options for the recently discovered high-grade silver systems at Brimstone and Vortex. RESPEC will collaborate closely with Hycroft's technical team, utilising all data from work completed to date. The scope of work includes evaluation of mining methods, conceptual mine design, and schedule development, culminating in an internal report to the company. In parallel, the company is evaluating the development of an exploration decline to enable underground drill access. This initiative is expected to maximise drilling efficiencies while delivering savings in both time and cost. RESPEC's engineering work will determine the optimal portal location and appropriate decline dimensions, which could also support future production. This work represents an important step as Hycroft advances exploration and evaluates future development opportunities for the high-grade silver systems. Diane R. Garrett, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented: "The appointment of RESPEC will help us assess the potential to develop a decline giving us direct access to our new high-grade silver deposits. The Brimstone system in particular starts from only 30 meters beneath the existing open pit so a decline will allow us to consider an underground drilling programme as well as give us early production options. We look forward to the findings of their engineering report in the coming months." Embed article link: (copy the HTML code below):

Lahontan selects RESPEC and Kappes Cassiday to update Santa Fe Mineral Resource Estimate and PEA. *TORONTO, ON / ACCESS Newswire / February 3, 2026 / **Lahontan Gold Corp. (TSXV:LG)(OTCQB:LGCXF)(FSE:Y2F) *(the "*Company*" or "*Lahontan*") is pleased to announce that the Company has retained RESPEC Company LLC ("RESPEC") and Kappes, Cassiday & Associates ("KCA") to update the Santa Fe Mine Project Technical Report, including a new Mineral Resource Estimate ("MRE") and Preliminary Economic Assessment ("PEA"). The updated MRE will incorporate all drilling completed since October 2024, and utilize new metallurgical data, mining costs, and revised gold and silver prices to design conceptual pit shells to constrain the MRE. Once the MRE is completed, the team will then focus on developing a revised PEA which should reflect the impact of the new technical data as well as metal prices. It is expected that the MRE should be completed in the coming months, with the PEA expected in Q2 2026. Kimberly Ann, Lahontan Executive Chair, President, CEO, and Founder commented: "Lahontan is excited to begin the process of updating the Santa Fe Mine MRE and PEA. Not only do we have additional drilling to incorporate into the MRE, but also a revised and very detailed three-dimensional geologic model, which will greatly aid gold and silver grade interpolation. Combined with new metallurgical data and upward trending metal prices, we look forward to an updated MRE. The PEA process is vital to Lahontan as it creates an operational model that can be used to evaluate multiple mining scenarios over a range of metal prices that in turn, will provide key data, i.e. process plant throughput, waste rock tonnages, etc., that will be used in our mine permitting program." *About Lahontan Gold Corp.* Lahontan Gold Corp. is a Canadian mine development and mineral exploration company that holds, through its US subsidiaries, four gold and silver exploration properties in the Walker Lane of mining friendly Nevada. Lahontan's flagship property, the 28.3 km^2 Santa Fe Mine project, had past production of 359,202 ounces of gold and 702,067 ounces of silver between 1988 and 1995 from open pit mines utilizing heap-leach processing.
