r_ I I 1� I� J CIS 0 C A variety of compost products will be produced based on customer demand. Products will include mulches, soil amendments, potting soils, and blended mixes. Custom blending services will be offered. A majority of the finished products will be sold in bulk. However, a bagging operation will be considered based on customer demand and the economics involved. WOOD WASTE STORAGE AND PROCESSING Wood separated from the commercial and industrial waste stream in the sorting area will be combined with wood separated from debris boxes and large woody material separated from the yard stream and stored on the site. Wood material will be stockpiled until enough is stored for chipping and use off the site. As necessary, the wood material will be transferred off the site for processing as fuel at biomass power plants or shipped and sold as mulch. ADMINISTRATION AND MAINTENANCE AREA An administration building will be provided for both the operation of the TMRF and for the administration of the refuse collection operations. This would include offices and work areas for management personnel and administrative employees, restrooms, conference rooms, storage, and equipment rooms. HOUSEHOLD HAZARDOUS WASTE AND RECYCLABLE HOUSEHOLD HAZARDOUS WASTE Used oil, oil filters, automotive batteries, apd used antifreeze, and other recyclable household hazardous waste will be received on a continuous basis. An area for the collection, separation, storage, and handling of household hazardous waste may additionally be provided. This area, if provided, would only be available for periodic household hazardous waste events coordinated and sponsored by San Joaquin County. During those events, personnel would be present to receive and identify potentially hazardous substances from residential sources such as paint, solvents, oil, insecticides, herbicides, and household cleaners. Materials would be labeled, packaged in drums, stored, and transported off the site. A hazardous waste load checking program will be implemented at the transfer station. A hazardous waste storage locker will be used for the temporary storage of hazardous materials that may be separated from the refuse. In no cases will the TMRF accept hazardous commercial or industrial wastes.
