10 <br /> 3.8 MATERIAL PROCESSING, HANDLING, AND STORAGE PRACTICES <br /> 3.8.1 Processing <br /> 3.8.1.1 Feedstock <br /> The Compost Facility will operate between the hours of 6:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. <br /> Monday through Saturday (closed Sunday and four holidays). During the week, the <br /> RRF accepts materials up until 4:00 p.m. in order to process, cleanup or both prior to <br /> 6:00 p.m. Odors are controlled by processing the material and removing as soon as <br /> possible after they have been brought into the RRF. Odors are not anticipated from <br /> storage residence since residue will be stored for no more than 48 hours. <br /> 3.8.1.2 Processed Material <br /> Incoming material undergoes preprocessing to remove any visible contaminants. <br /> Loads are visually inspected at the RRF and will be manually sorted in the processing <br /> AML area. A magnetic separator will be provided to extract nails and other ferrous <br /> contaminants from the green waste material after it has been shredded. Since <br /> incoming biosolids are not anticipated to have heavy metal concentrations above <br /> regulatory limits, other preprocessing procedures will not be necessary. <br /> The compost process time is projected to be between approximately 4 to 12 weeks, <br /> depending on the compost product quality. The curing process will take <br /> approximately 1 to 6 months. <br /> 3.8.2 Pile Geometry <br /> 3.8.2.1 Feedstock <br /> Sorting bins and wood waste stockpiles are located on the permitted property <br /> surrounding the RRF building. The stockpile area of the RRF expands and contracts <br /> depending upon the amount of materials sorted and the re-sale market. <br /> 3.8.2.2 Processed Material <br /> The waste materials will be formed into compost piles/beds approximately 18 feet <br /> high, approximately 18 feet wide, and of varying length (up to 300 feet long). The <br /> active compost will be mixed as required for proper control depending on <br /> Forward Compost Facility-OIMP 9 SWT Engineering <br /> z:\projects\allied waste\forward\resource recovery facility\permitting services\2009 resi\oimp\oimp final 071309.doc; <br /> 7/20/2009 <br />
