lanes is adequate into the future to the year 2010 if the new computer system can process at a rate of one transaction each 30 seconds during peak periods and assuming Non-Automated Disposal traffic increases proportionately with the County waste projections for the Station. Additionally, the County will assign a second cashier window, if needed during peaks, to speed up processing time. The assumed traffic projections are based on County Station waste estimates in the 1990 Waste Quantity Report for "high" or more conservative projections. Actual future Station traffic will depend upon a variety of factors including actual waste generation, recycling, and the types of future site users. For example, if future increases in waste are more proportioned towards automated disposal users, or actual quantities are less than the "high"estimates; then stacking may be less of a concern. Lovelace Road: In addition to the Station Project, the County plans to widen Lovelace Road according to a project to be performed by the County. Design will be performed so that transition grades will be coordinated with the Station grading plans. The site plans show an expected configuration for the upgrades to Lovelace Road, which will include a left turn lane for traffic heading east. C. Drainage System Capacities Drainage calculations for the storm drain system shown are in Appendix E. Drawing RSI-7 shows the design layout of the system. The criteria used for design was the County Standards 1991, as indicated. d. Soil Balance The expansion and renovation of the Station will include demolition of existing structures and improvements and construction of new structures, roadways and improvements. In addition toearthwork for construction, there is existing waste in the northeast comer of the existing Station which will be excavated and disposed of off-site prior to construction on these areas. The existing waste was buried by previous sites owners prior to the County's operation of the site. Limited excavation in the pond area by the County in the past appeared to indicated that the waste is remains of old refuse bum and inert waste disposal pits which were covered with soil (generally inert material, bottles and residual ash remain). In November 1992,Kleinfelder performed a geotechnical investigation of the site for the expansion project. Borings and soil testing was performed to evaluate geotechnical requirements for the project. The old burned waste area was also investigated with borings to give a preliminary estimate and the quantity of waste which would be removed as part of the construction project. Soil balance calculations for the project are in Appendix F and indicate that the estimated soil balance is approximately 1,500 to 3,500 cubic yards.
