Here are a few of my thoughts…..They mostly agree? They should whole heartily agree and here are a few reasons why.

1. The “added value” and increase to the property and land.
2. “Goodwill” value to the local neighborhood area
3. Potential insurance reductions
4. The elimination of hazards such as snakes, rodents, insects, etc...(This could be a potential or become a city or county issue)
5. May be eligible for “clean up” tax credits on costs

With some research and planning on your part regarding the above issues you would then be prepared to negotiate and plan your project. Some of the projects planning that you may want to explore or think about are:

1. How many estimated tons and what type of material
2. What are your risks and hazards (i.e. snakes, rodents, insects, etc?)
3. What are your potential upgrades both FE and NFE
4. Your estimated costs, schedule, and equipment needed
5. Market fluctuation risks
6. Hydrocarbon disposal and/or environmental issues (i.e. oils, antifreeze, Freon, etc)

In summary if they still insist on a % of your revenue make sure that you keep very accurate costs records and do not forget to deduct your taxes on income received from your costing. Armed with your project plan, and during the negotiations you may want keep in mind that would it not be fair that they give you back a % of the increase of the property value number just to be fair?

Have fun and keep us posted…I had a lot of fun thinking about this during my lunch break…This is what we usually get paid for …and just out of curiosity what state are you located in?
