tonnages (this conservatively includes all self haul weighed tonnages in the design of the "Non-Automated" portion of the Station, which is the most constrained element). The design goal of the Station was to meet projected "high"disposal and transfer needs for the year 2010. Tables I.D..2.b(Low and High), Appendix B, includes calculations of daily average throughputs. The average annual throughput for the year 2010, from the 1990 report(') is 234,420 tons. This averages approximately 644 tons over 364 operational days. Typically, Non-Automated Disposal quantities during Automated Disposal usage weekdays are lower than the Non-Automated Disposal average (364 Non-Automated Disposal days versus 286 Automated Disposal days). Therefore, combination of average throughputs in Summary Table I.D.2 results in a higher 754 TPD than the 644 TPD total Station averaged over 364 days. The actual average throughput should be between these numbers. The throughput projections assume that the waste quantities for the Station will be received from the Central County Waste Area as described in Section I.B.. The projections are estimates from the County based on the CSWD 1990 annual waste disposal report, using "high estimates" (See Appendix Q. Actual throughput may vary from these estimates based on future disposal programs and behavior of site users in the waste area. C. Unusual Peak Loadings Peak loadings for the year 2010 ( from "high" estimates; Table I.D.2.b.) for throughput are shown on Table I.D.2.cPeak, (Appendix B). The peaks assume a peak factor of 1.75 and 1.5 over averages for Non-Automated Disposal and Automated Disposal, respectively. These peak factors are based on projecting 1992 Station peaks. The total Station peak day tonnages are estimated to be 840 to 1,187 for the years 1995 and 2010,respectively (See Summary Table I.D.2.page 6). Again, this is somewhat conservatively based on adding the peak days for the Automated Disposal and Non-Automated Disposal, which are unlikely to occur on the same day. This is below the transfer design capacity of 1,320 tons per day,even in the event that no recyclables are removed from the tipping floor. Therefore, no special provisions for operations should be needed to accommodate these daily peaks. It should be noted, that another concern of peak loadings is the stacking of Non- Automated Disposal traffic onto Lovelace Road during weekends. The Station currently has a total of only 3 lanes for both incoming and exiting traffic. The stacking space for incoming traffic includes one lane for non-weighed vehicles and one lane over the scale. These lanes currently have approximately 10 (30 ft/space) and 6 (40 ft/space) stacking spaces available. The stacking for non-weighed traffic on weekends is currently not adequate to prevent stacking of traffic onto Lovelace Road for the current weekend traffic. In addition, outbound transfer trucks must share the scale with incoming vehicles to be weighed. This reduces the stacking space 07549001.012 11 September 23,1993
