Public Haul Costs With Transfer Station <br /> Assuming an average 15 miles round trip to the proposed transfer <br /> station, the estimated 72, 800 public vehicles using the station <br /> would drive 1 .1 million miles . At a cost of $0 . 17 per mile, <br /> $187, 000 would be spent hauling solid wastes to the proposed <br /> transfer station. <br /> Energy Consumption with Transfer Station <br /> Collection Fleet: <br /> Based on the assumptions presented in Appendix C, the annual energy <br /> consumption by collection vehicle type is as follows: <br /> Energy Consumption <br /> Vehicle Type (Million BTU/Year) <br /> Rear-End Loaders <br /> (5,824 trips/year) (222,400 BTU/trip) 1,295 <br /> Front-End Loaders <br /> (2,756 trips/year) (222,400 BTU/trip) 613 <br /> Drop-Box Trucks <br /> (11,483 trips/year) (221,010 BTU/trip) 2,538 <br /> Public <br /> (72,800 trips/year) (97,785 BTU/trip) 7,119 <br /> 11,565 (1) <br /> Transfer Vehicles: <br /> The assumptions used in determining energy consumption of transfer <br /> vehicles is presented in Appendix C. Based on these assumptions, <br /> the annual energy consumption by transfer vehicle type is presented <br /> as follows: <br /> Energy Consumption <br /> Vehicle (Million BTU/Year) <br /> Top-Loaded Trailers 1,739 (2) <br /> (5,901 trips/year) (294,680 BTU/trip) <br /> Rear-Loaded Trailers 1,642 (3) <br /> (5,573 trips/year) (294,680 BTU/trip) <br /> (1) <br /> Equivalent to 1,981 barrels of oil <br /> (2) Equivalent to 298 barrels of oil <br /> (3) Equivalent to 281 barrels of oil <br /> - 25 - <br />
