1 Project Description Report of Composting Site information Tracy Material Recovery Facility and Transfer Station 30703 S. Mac4rthur Drive, Tracy, Califom/a 95377 Fire Control: The primary focus is on fire prevention. The maintenance of proper moisture and temperature control of materials will minimize the potential for fire. An emergency water supply system is in place in the event of an electrical outage capable of providing 150,000 gallons of water at 1,200 gallons per minute. The green material windrows will be separated by a minimum of 4 feet, with a perimeter road of at least 12 feet. Windrows will be maintained at a sufficiently high moisture content to minimize the potential for spontaneous combustion of the composting materials. The windrows will be turned or sprayed with water at a frequency sufficient to r avoid elevated internal temperatures and attendant risk of auto-combustion. Fire lanes of a minimum of 12 feet in width will be established to allow emergency access to all operations areas. All feedstock storage piles will have a minimum of 12-foot buffer around them for easy access. e. A description of the proposed emergency provision for equipment breakdown or power failure. Minor equipment breakdowns will be managed by on-site mechanics and typically is corrected within two days. In the event of severe mechanical failure, similar processing equipment can be rented from nearby facilities. The facility maintains good relationships with nearby equipment vendors who can provide back up and temporary equipment on very short notice. CTI, Inc., the suppliers of the feedstock compaction machine used with the CTI System TM has additional equipment in northern California that can be made available on short notice. The Office shop building will be outfitted with telephones for business and emergency requirements. Employees are equipped with cellular phones. Portable generators are available in case of power failure. At least one back-up blower for the CTI SystemTm will be maintained onsite. An emergency portable generator is available rental on a same day notice time period as a backup for the CTI SystemTNI f. A description of the anticipated maximum and average length of time compost will be stored at the facility. The total time the green material feedstock remains at the facility using the elongated windrow composting method are approximately 12 to 20 weeks. The finished product will then be stored on-site for not more than 180 days until the product is shipped off to market. There is adequate room on-site to store the finished product for extended periods. The Site Plan provides capacity totaling 56,000 cubic yards of total compost material. The number of bags either composting or curing may be up to 16, assuming 12-foot diameter bags. After the compost is curedin the bags, or combined into a larger windrow from two bags, the food waste compost product will then be screened and may be stored up to 60 days, with each successive screening events, and then stored on site for up to 180 days. There is adequate room on-site to store the finished product. 28 Edgar&Associates,Inc. Tracy Compost Fac ProjDesc042310 {
