Item 7.01 | Regulation FD Disclosure |
Covanta Holding Corporation ("Covanta") has reached an agreement with New York City's Department of Sanitation for Covanta to handle waste transport and disposal from two marine transfer stations located in Queens and Manhattan. Covanta plans to utilize capacity at existing facilities for the disposal of approximately 800,000 tons per year of New York City's municipal solid waste. Service for the Queens marine transfer station is expected to begin in early 2015, with service to the Manhattan marine transfer station to follow in 2016 when construction work is expected to be completed by New York City.
The agreement is for 20 years with options for New York City to extend the term for two additional five-year periods, and calls for waste to be transported using a multi-modal approach.
Covanta plans to purchase equipment, including barges, railcars, containers, and intermodal equipment. Covanta expects its total investment to purchase this equipment will be approximately $110 million. This investment will be made over several years beginning in 2013.
