2 PROJECT PARAMETERS <br /> In this chapter, emphasis is placed on identifying the basic project <br /> parameters relating to a transfer station, transfer system and sub- <br /> sequent energy recovery facility. Considerations will include: <br /> • Site parameters <br /> Present and projected solid waste quantities <br /> Waste types and composition <br /> • Seasonal variations <br /> • Haul distances <br /> • Type of transfer operation <br /> • State minimum standards and local and county solid <br /> waste plans and ordinances <br /> Resource recovery opportunities <br /> • Energy requirements <br /> • Economic assumptions <br /> Site Parameters <br /> The Stockton Scavenger Association is investigating locating a refuse <br /> transfer station and subsequent addition of an energy recovery facil- <br /> ity on an approximate 6 . 5 acre parcel . A desirable location should <br /> include traffic accessibility, appropriate neighborhood zon.ina . <br /> proximity to established collection routes, and proximity to a major <br /> energy consumer. <br /> Present and Projected Solid Waste Quantities <br /> The present 1979 estimated solid waste generation rate for the <br /> Stockton fraction covered in this study is approximately 385 TPD <br /> (tons per day, five days per week) .. The yearly tonnage is distri- <br /> buted in the following manner: <br /> Stockton Scavenger - 84 ,552 (1) <br /> Public - 15, 756 (2) <br /> Total 100 , 308 TPY <br /> (1) Based on data from Stockton Scavenger <br /> (2) Reference 1. <br /> Projected yearly tonnage for the year 2000 is 182 ,500, which is <br /> equivalent to 700 TPD (5 days per week) . <br /> - 2 <br />
