installed in 1972 and has a production of approximately 60 gpm. The fact that groundwater flow near the existing Forward Landfill is not modified by pumping from this well suggests that it is screened in a confined unit below the uppermost groundwater units that are monitored at the site. The fourth production well is located along the eastern boundary of the site, just south of the entrance to the RRF/Compost Facility. The locations of the wells located in the RRF/Compost Facility area is shown on Figure 1. These water supplies are available for initial mixing of the compost to bring the water content up to desired levels, and wetting of the compost. Additional on-site water uses include site construction and waste disposal operations, RRF and compost operations, dust control, compaction, irrigation, equipment maintenance operations, sanitary facilities, firefighting, and emergency situations. Bottled water is provided for drinking. 4.3 EQUIPMENT The equipment available at the facility is presented on Table 8 of the RCSI. Additional equipment, such as Windrow turning equipment and temperature and moisture probes, are used, as needed, to meet the requirements of the compost operation standards, including minimization of odors. Facility equipment is maintained according to standard maintenance practice and the manufacturer's recommendations. Extra equipment is stored in the equipment maintenance area and storage yard at the landfill. In addition, extra parts are stored in a trailer on the southwestern side of the RRF building. For situations (e.g., breakdowns or power failure) that require standby, specialized, or additional equipment, Forward first utilizes available equipment from the landfill's operation. If this equipment is not available, Forward will lease or rent the appropriate equipment from local contractors or suppliers. Forward, Inc. has established contract agreements with local contractors and suppliers to provide equipment, as needed. 4.4 POWER SUPPLY All of the Compost Facility's processing equipment is diesel powered, and thus not subject to power failure. Backup generators are maintained on-site to provide power to the office trailer designated for the Compost Facility during power outages. 4.5 PERSONNEL AND TRAINING Additional personnel is added on an as-needed basis when, and if, a demand arises at the Composting Facility. The on-site personnel currently consist of the following: 1 Operations manager 2 Equipment operators (duties also include general labor) 2 Laborers 1 Water truck driver - Temporary laborers, as needed Forward Compost Facility-OIMP 10 SWT Engineering z:\projects\allied waste\forward\resource recovery facility\5 yr permit rvw 2013-14\tpr 2014\appendices\app a-3-oimp\oimp text-rev 111414.doc;11/18/2014
