• Based on the above criteria and utilizing a inflow rate of 32,506 tons/week with a <br /> 2 percent annual growth rate and a maximum weekly permitted refuse inflow rate <br /> of 46,080 tons/week, the Forward Landfill will have a projected site life of over 10 <br /> years (as of December 31, 2006). Based on these calculations See Table 8), <br /> operations at the Forward Landfill could extend to September 2017. <br /> 4.7.2 FACTORS AFFECTING SITE CAPACITY <br /> Many factors can affect the ultimate site capacity of a given landfill including <br /> variations in waste type, compaction rates,the use of alternative daily covers and <br /> the annual tonnage delivered to the landfill. The actual daily tonnage at the <br /> Forward Landfill depends on economic and population growth factors. The <br /> tonnage can also vary as the contracts with clients fluctuate and specialty <br /> markets change. Therefore, there may be times when the Forward Landfill will <br /> accept at or near the maximuermitted tonnage or times where it may fall <br /> way below. Table 8 is presented to provide an estimate of the inflow to the <br /> Forward Landfill for permitting purposes.' <br /> • In addition, long-term landfill settlement can also have a great impact on site <br /> capacity and may average 25 pe` ent of the total refuse thickness. The total <br /> effects of settlement will depend o' :,various factors or processes such as the <br /> types of refuse pJ&ced and their corresponding moisture content, the refuse <br /> placement dYal <br /> , consolidat' refuse under loads imposed by overlying <br /> fill, and biolo and chem deco „ osition. It is estimated that much of this <br /> total settlement will occur du g the erating life of the landfill and will be <br /> accounted for in periodic topographic surveys. <br /> Remaining site capacity will be evaluated periodically and any significant <br /> changes will be addressed during future operating permit revisions. <br /> • <br /> Forward Landfill JTD 4-12 <br /> J:\Allied\Forward\JTD Amendment\January 2007 JTD Amendment\JTD Sec 4 Final.doc: <br /> 05/24/02;Amendment No. 1: 2/1/2007 BRYAN A.STIRRAT&ASSOCIATES <br />
