waste stream by station personnel. Ther', front-end loaders push the materials toward the south edge of the floor where the materials ultimately are dropped into the roll-off bins stationed along the loading dock at the south edge of-the Tipping/Sorting Floor. Mechanized equipment may be added in the future to increase the recycling function. 3. Transfer The non-recyclable residual waste left on the Tipping/Sorting Floor is pushed by front-end loaders toward the north edge of the floor from where it is dropped into a transfer trailer through the loading slot. The stationary clamshell mounted above the loading slot spreads and compacts the waste in the transfer trailer until the maximum permissible load is reached. The "transfer" scale located in the transfer tunnel monitors the weight of the transfer trailer as it is loaded. 4. Recycling Recyclable materials separated at the source, includingwood waste and yard waste, are received and stored at the Recycling Drop-Of Area. Reusable items are salvaged,processed and exchanged or sold in this area. Recyclable materials recovered from the waste stream are stored at the Recycling Area. When the storage bins are full, these materials are transported to local firms for sale. 5. Hazardous Waste Exclusion Program This program was adopted 1987 to control disposal of hazardous waste at the station. It includes a load checking procedure to screen hazardous waste arriving at the transfer facility. Should hazardous waste be found at the station which was not detected in accordance with the Hazardous Waste Exclusion Program,it will be stored temporarily in storage locker(s) for ultimate disposal at a licensed facility. Hazardous Waste will not be stored in the locker(s) for longer than 90 days. E TRAFFIC AND CIRCULATION All incoming vehicles enter the site through the entrance on Lovelace Road and follow the signs indicating the various lane designations. 1. Public Route The self hauler uses the two "public" lanes,which ultimately merge into one lane, and then stop at the public scale. Unless otherwise indicated by the attendant, they are charged a disposal fee based on load volume or a minimum charge before proceeding to the Public Disposal Area. After unloading,they leave the station using the central exit drive. (Refer to Figure 3-2.) Depending upon the type of load and vehicle, and when indicated by the attendant, some vehicles of the general public are charged a disposal fee based on load weight. First,these vehicles are weighed loaded. After unloading in the Public Disposal Area,they return to the "public" scale to be weighed empty and charged accordingly. Empty weight of these vehicles are stored in the computer's memory system so they need not be weighed empty during future 3-11 J
