MacArthur Drive, Tracy, Califomia 95377 The following components are proposed to be part of Tracy MRF & TS Expansion: • Increase the tonnage to at least 2,500 TPD to meet the needs of AB 32 for City of Tracy and San Joaquin County • Expand programs to accommodate the AB 32 mandate of providing z commercial recycling to all business and multi-family units r/ • Expand the outdoor green waste processing operations to allow the processing of co-collected residential green waste with food waste, to produce compost feedstock and/or anaerobic digestion feedstock • Even though allowed today by permit amendment, explicitly include the processing of commercial food waste inside the MRF/TS building to produce compost feedstock and/or anaerobic digestion feedstock • Even though allowed administratively today, explicitly include the addition of solar panels on top of the MRF US building • Add a 1 mega-watt wood waste biomass gasification plant • Calculate the carbon footprint for baseline operations and the proposed project See Table 2 for a comparison of the capacity between existing operations and the operations of the proposed Expansion: Enhanced Diversion Pian The proposed project is to expand the MRF/TS to accommodate the 20 year growth of the City of Tracy and the surrounding communities. The City of Tracy has adopted an enhanced 2005 Diversion Plan requesting additional recycling services to be conducted at the MRF/TS. The City of Tracy, like most cities throughout California, is mandated by the Integrated Waste Management Act of 1989, found in California Public Resources Code sections 40000 et seq. (the Act), to prepare plans for achieving a minimum fifty percent diversion goal. The City's diversion goal has been met, and is at sixty percent (60%) as of the 2003 records. The City prepared a Source Reduction and Recycling Element (SRRE), which was approved by the City Council in 1994 (Resolution No. 94-411) and by the CIWMB in 1995. The SRRE presented a "plan" which identified numerous programs selected by the City to achieve the fifty percent goal. The CIWMB assesses the City's compliance with the Act annually, based upon implementation of the programs identified in the SRRE. 170.18 CUP Project Des 050710 ES-6
