Project Description Tracy Material Recovery Facility and Transfer Station Expansion 30703 S. MacArthur Drive, Tracy, Californla 95377 A transfer truck would receive the processed food waste from the stacking conveyor. Y The anticipated system capacity is 20 tons per hour, but may vary depending on the materials being sorted and on any future upgrades or additions. Other mechanisms, procedures or technologies may be incorporated into the system to improve its capabilities in the future. Solar Panel: The roof top of the Building would support solar panels with the capability to generate 'f up to 800 kilo-watt hour of renewable energy. Current regulations allow the installation of solar panels administratively. The project is explicitly stated here to demonstrate the transformation of Facility into using carbon neutral energy sources. Composting Facility A detailed project description of the composting process is presented in Section II of this document. The composting technology to accommodate food waste will included a covered aerated static pile system. Construction and Demo lition/lnert.Debris ProcessingOperations_ A detailed CDI project description is provided in Section III of this document. The below information presents a brief summary of the proposed operations. Biomass Gasification Unit j f The Biomass Gasification Unit proposes to use 40 TPD of processed clean wood waste to generate 1 mega-watt/hour of energy for on-site use. A similar Biomass Gasification Unit was recently permitted in Merced County and has obtained an Authority to construct permit from the San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District. A copy of the permit and the Application Review are provided in Appendix E as a reference. The current operations have clean wood waste recovered from the mixed C&D Processing Facility being ground into into wood chips. The wood waste is stockpiled on a pad for a maximum period of 30 days. Chipping and grinding generally occurs within a few days. The wood chips are loaded from the stockpile into transfer trailers where the material is transported to an off-site biomass energy facility. There is no on-site biomass energy facility. The proposed operations would include the following activity as provided in Table 11 below: • Construct and operate biomass gasification unit. • Allow 24-hour operation and maintenance of the biomass gasification unit • Utilize 40 TPD of clean wood chips processed at the on-site Organic Processing f Facility as the fuel source. 9 Generate 1 mega-watt/hour of green energy for use for on-site operations ;G 170.18.03 CUP Project Description 050710 24 f
