Abstract:

This study was conducted to advance the High Line Corridor Pneumatic Waste-Management Initiative toward the implementation stage. The High Line is a 1.5-mile viaduct, once used to provide rail-freight service for a manufacturing district in Manhattan, which is now a park. The project would attach a pneumatic tube to this viaduct to transport three waste fractions (refuse, recyclables, and organics) from adjacent buildings, as well as from litter bins in the park and the local Business Improvement District, to a collection terminal. There, these materials would be compacted into sealed containers and loaded directly onto railcars to be hauled to processing and disposal facilities for each waste type. The proposal includes a separate, small-diameter pneumatic tube that would collect kitchen waste from adjacent food businesses to be processed in an anaerobic digestor located near the High Line. A prior phase of this project established its economic and operational feasibility, as well as its potential to provide environmental and quality-of-life benefits. The purpose of this project phase was to examine issues that need to be addressed if the project is to be implemented. These included advancing discussions with the stakeholders whose support for and participation in the project would be needed for its realization; developing more-detailed physical and operational analyses needed for the detailed design and engineering plans required for budgeting; and devising a potential financing, business, and ownership model for project development and operation.
