4-4 0 4.1.2 Current Resource Recovery Activities Salvaging, volume reduction, and recycling activities are conducted at the Forward RRF, located in the southeast corner of the landfill. As previously mentioned, the RRF operates under a separate SWFP as a transfer facility and composting facility. The transfer station building is currently utilized for transfer (i.e., unloading of packer trucks and loading onto transfer trailers) of recyclable materials. 4.1.3 Landfill Ancillary Facilities The landfill ancillary facilities consist of an entrance facilities area, scales and scale houses, water production wells, support and storage areas (i.e., office trailer and maintenance building), a transfer station/materials recovery facility and composting facility, a landfill gas flare station, a groundwater extraction and treatment plant, and sedimentation basins. Figure 1A presents site facilities and features, as well as entry roads, property boundaries, and refuse limits, as discussed in this JTD. The entrance facilities area includes office trailers, portable sanitary facilities, a landscaped area, and gravel and paved parking areas for employees and visitors. The main site office is located in the entrance facility. The main scalehouse for the Forward Landfill has two scales and is located in the central portion of the site. Incoming waste loads are monitored at the scale house and all vehicular activities are regulated in accordance with the established Hazardous Waste Exclusion Program/Load Checking Program. A second scalehouse and scale is located in the southeast portion of the landfill to serve the RRF. Two water supply wells and one water supply standpipe are located at the landfill. The water supply standpipe is located adjacent to the existing scalehouse. The water production well that supplies the standpipe is located near the main entrance facility along the eastern boundary. The well has a production of approximately 1,500 gpm. The other water supply well is located south of the South Branch of Littlejohn's Creek and has a capacity of 500 gpm. There are additional wells used primarily for irrigation located in the northwest corner and the northeastern portion of the landfill. The maintenance and storage area is currently located in the eastern portion of the landfill main site office. The area is secured, and fenced but also mobile and can be moved around the site, as needed. The maintenance area includes portable buildings, storage areas for refuse bins, and parking areas for heavy equipment and cars. A complete vehicle repair service facility, with an extensive inventory of spare parts, is also maintained. The maintenance and storage area is operated in accordance with the site's SWPPP. The RRF building is located at the southeast portion of the landfill with its own scale and scalehouse and entrance/exit. The building is a metal frame building that is open on one side. The total square footage of the building is approximately 12,000 square feet (sf).
