2-4 to 2.5 Waste Type and Volume (14 CCR. Sections 17407.5 (a) and (c). 17408.2 and 18221.6 (hU 2.5.1 Waste Types The RRF can receive non-hazardous mixed municipal solid wastes from residential, commercial, and industrial sources in accordance with the existing SWFP. However, no municipal commercial and/or industrial waste is received at the RRF. Only mixed recyclables and a minimal amount of residual waste that are in the recyclables are accepted at the RRF. No high liquid content wastes are accepted at the RRF. No designated wastes are accepted at the RRF. The designated wastes are routed directly to the landfill. No wastes requiring special handling are accepted at the RRF. The wastes requiring special handling are routed directly to the landfill. In accordance with 14 CCR, Section 17407.5(a) and (c), the operator does not intentionally accept or store hazardous wastes, including batteries, paint or any liquid wastes (i.e., sewage sludge, industrial waste, water treatment sludge, grit screenings or other high liquid content wastes), designated waste or wastes requiring special handling. In addition, the RRF cannot accept medical wastes and dead animals. 2.5.2 Waste Quantities The storage capacity for the RRF is a maximum of 500 TPD of heavier mixed recyclables. Based on the calculations, the storage capacity of the RRF building is between 200 and 500 tons based on the types and mix of recyclables received. The flow through capacity of the existing RRF building is 750+ TPD. The operation allows the operator to have adequate storage capacity for residual wastes awaiting removal to the Forward Landfill within 24 hours as allowed under 14 CCR, Section 17410.1 through the use of the five bins. Currently, there are no daily(unusual) peak loadings. The RRF and landfill (combined) are able to receive a 620-trip maximum threshold allowed for the entire Forward facility as discussed in Section 3.2.9. Loading up to the maximum traffic inflow can be accommodated by the use of back-up equipment and additional trips to the Forward Landfill can be accomplished to handle residual waste. If the capacity is ever reached, additional personnel will be added, as needed. When the RRF is at capacity, all excess loads are turned away. 2.6 Equipment(14 CCR. Sections 17416.3 and 18221.6 (1)) A variety of equipment is used in the operation of the station. The equipment on-site is adequate to meet operational and maintenance needs in order to comply with 14 CCR, Forward Resource Recovery Facility SWT Engineering Transfer/Processing Report-November 2014 z:\projects\allied waste\forward\resource recovery facility\5 yr permit rvw 2013-14\tpr 2014\text\sec2.doc
