Project Description —Report of Composting Site Information Tracy Material Recovery Fadllty and Transfer Ratlon 30703 5. Mac4rthur Drive, Tracy, Cal/fornla 95377 Saw, The operator will solicit assistance from CTI personnel to locate and mobilize an additional bagging machine if repairs to the inoperable bagging machine are anticipated to exceed the stockpile capacity. • Blower equipment With the acquisition of a maximum number of blower units to provide one unit per actively composting bag, it is anticipated that several units will be available at any one time to replace an inoperable unit. Units can be relocated from compost bags containing matured material. Should no units be available onsite, additional units can be rented or purchased with little or no required advance notice. • Screening equipment In the event the screening equipment onsite becomes inoperable for an extended period of time, an additional screening unit can be rented from an equipment rental facility. Significant features of the CTI System TM • The process is totally enclosed and does not expose the environment to nuisance odors or high PM 10 (particulate matter) levels, nor does it attract many insects to the operation of composting. Insect and rodent breeding areas are virtually non- existent with an enclosed system. Because the system is entirely enclosed, leachate is not anticipated to be a problem. • There will be minimal odors emanating from the vessels during the composting process. Odor is prevented through continued aeration via a perforated hose running the length of the bag. • Noise is significantly reduced without the need for material turning equipment during the composting process. • The CTI SystemTM does not require the organic material to be turned during the composting process and therefore additional turning machines will not be required for feedstock designated for the CTI System TM f. A description of the anticipated maximum and average length of time compost will be stored at the facility, The CTI composting cycle varies from 8-16 weeks. Additional finishing of the compost in an elongated windrow occurs for further pathogen reduction. Curing requires up to another 6 weeks. The number of bags either composting or curing may be up to 30. Bags are placed in rows separated by a four-foot aisle for blowers (Drawing 4).
