Project Description-- Report of Composting Site Information <br /> Tracy Material Recovery Facility and Transfer Station <br /> 30703 5 MacArthur Drive, Tracy, California 95377 <br /> Project Overview <br /> This project involves the addition of composting technologies and feedstock to those <br /> currently used at the Tracy Material Recovery and Transfer Station (Tracy MRF &TS), <br /> Compost Facility (CF). <br /> The overall facility is designed to process an average of 800 tons per day and a peak of <br /> 1,000 tons per day delivered to the site. The Compost Facility was originally designed <br /> to have sufficient capacity to receive and process 170 tons per day over an area of 5 <br /> acres, with peak loads up to 180 tons per day. The Environmental Impact Report <br /> prepared in 1993, when the Conditional Use Permit was obtained from San Joaquin <br /> County, anticipated a throughput of 132 tons per day of green material and wood waste. <br /> Current operations consist of an input of approximately 35 tons per day of greenwaste <br /> and 35 tons per day of wood waste. The Solid Waste Facility Permit (July 2003) <br /> specifies a permitted capacity of 1,038 tons per week. Assuming only 38 tons of <br /> material are received on Saturday, the 1,038 tons per week translates into an average <br /> daily permitted throughput of 200 tons per day, Monday through Friday. <br /> The Composting Facility receives green material from yard waste and agricultural <br /> waste. The current composting technology used at the facility is the elongated windrow <br /> method. <br /> This proposal includes the addition of co-collected organics (CCO) from residential <br /> areas, which is a mixture of green materials and food waste, that would be composted <br /> using the existing method, the elongated windrow method. Additionally, the use of an <br /> in-vessel composting system is also proposed, referred to as an aerated, static pile <br /> method, which would be used to compost a combination of commercial.and institutional <br /> food waste mixed with green material. These methods are described in detail in this <br /> project description. <br /> Background <br /> The Tracy Material Recovery Facility and Transfer Station (Tracy MRF & TS), Composting <br /> Facility (CF), operated by Tracy Material Recovery& Solid Waste Transfer, Inc., serves <br /> the southern San Joaquin County/Tracy Planning Area. The facility operates under <br /> permits and regulations of the County of San Joaquin, California Integrated Waste <br /> Management Board (CIWMB), San Joaquin Valley Unified Air Pollution Control District, <br /> and the Regional Water Quality Control Board. <br /> The Tracy MRF & TS site comprises a total of approximately 51.7 acres, of which 8.4 <br /> acres are permitted for composting, 15.4 for a transfer station, 15.4 for a material recovery <br /> facility, and 12.5 for land application of tomato waste. The overall facility accepts up to <br /> 1,000 tons of material per operating day of primarily residential and yard waste, light <br /> commercial waste,,brush, and construction debris. <br /> Edgar&Associates,Inc.
