4A INTRODUCTIO14 <br /> The purpose of this chapter is to investigate three alternatives <br /> under consideration by Stockton Scavenger. They are : <br /> Continue Direct Haul to Austin Road Landfill. <br /> Construct a Direct Dump Transfer Station and transport <br /> wastes to Austin Road landfill via top-loading trailers. <br /> • Construct an Hydraulic Compaction Transfer Station and trans- <br /> port wastes to Austin Road landfill bia rear-loading trailers <br /> A discussion of distance and travel time of the present direct <br /> haul and the proposed transfer system, along with capital and oper- <br /> ating costs of the proposed transfer station developed in Chapter 3, <br /> form the basis of the analysis. <br /> 4B DIRECT HAUL <br /> Existing Fleet <br /> The existing, collection fleet is comprised of rear loaders, front <br /> loaders and tilt-frame trucks. The number of each type that would <br /> utilize the transfer station, their crew sizes and average payloads <br /> (tons hauled per trip) are as follows: <br /> Average <br /> Crew Payload <br /> Type Vehicles Spares Size (Tons) <br /> Rear-end Loaders 15 1 2 6 <br /> Rear-end Loaders 7 1 3 6 <br /> Front-end Loaders 6 1 2 8 <br /> Tilt-frame Trucks 8 1 1 2.4 <br /> Haul Costs of Existing Collection Fleet <br /> The average trips per day to the AustiT Ooad landfill vary from 1 <br /> to 5 depending on the type of vehicle. The greater the number of <br /> trips the greater the haul costs . <br /> Vehicles are amortized over their useful lives. Because the prin- <br /> ciple purpose of the vehicles employed is collection, only a frac- <br /> tion of the yearly amortization and labor expenses are allocated to <br /> the haul cost determination. The percentage time spent in the haul <br /> operation by the various vehicles is the basis for allocation. <br /> Haul time percentages are as follows : <br /> Average Trips/Day: Rear-end loaders - 1 <br /> Front-end loaders - 1. 67 <br /> Drop-box trucks - 5 <br /> - "18 <br />
