Acceptance of a particular high moisture waste will be based on a detailed characterization process that includes customer/industry knowledge and laboratory testing. Once approved by Forward for acceptance, the customer will be directed to the solidification area for off-loading into a specially constructed solidification basin. A solidification agent (typically ash or greenwaste) will then be added and mixed/combined with appropriate equipment. Mixing will be continued until there is thorough blending of the liquid and solidification agent and no free liquids are observed. If the solidification agent has the potential to create airborne dust, such as ash, then the liquids may be placed in the basin after the solidification agent. Once the proper consistency is obtained and the mixed material passes the paint filter test, it will be transported to the working face of the landfill for disposal. Typical design for a solidification basin is a below-grade reinforced concrete structure placed outside the refuse fill area. The facility typically consists of two side-by-side chambers approximately 30 feet by 20 feet, with a depth of 10 to 16 feet. The thickness of the basin structure will be designed to support the weight of the mixing equipment. The basin will be designed with concrete aprons and water stops (curbs) to prevent spillage outside the facility. Earthen berms will be set around the facility to divert surface water run-on. A detection/collection system and liner may also be utilized beneath the basin. Specific design features will be presented in an updated JTD and Report of Design submitted to the regulatory agencies. The proposed initial location for this operation is shown on Figure C. Subject to regulatory approval, this operation will relocate as needed to accommodate development of liner and LCRS. 5.4.2 MRF AND BENEFICIAL REUSE QUANTITIES The FL accepts materials for beneficial uses such as Alternative Daily Cover (ADC), wet weather deck preparation, internal haul road improvements, and earthen drainage control improvements. The average and peak tonnage for each beneficial reuse material received at the FL are as follows: Forward Landfill Project Description 5-11 BRYAN A.STIRRAT&ASSOCIATES (J:\Allied\Forward\2007.0018 Lateral Expansion\Reports\Proj Descrip\021308 Final Proj Des\Sec 5.doc:2/13/2008)
