6A SITE DEVELOPMENT The Solid Waste Management Center as conceived will be developed in two phases. Phase I includes the Transfer Station, Flea Market, Recycling Bins, Baling Operation and Office/Reception Area. In Phase II, a Resource Recovery Facility, producina ferrous metals and steam, or electric power, is added. Figure 6-1 delineates the positioning of the necessary facilities on the site. Figures 6-2 and 6-3 illustrate the Transfer Station (Phase I) and the Resource Recovery Facility (Phase II) , respectively. Development and coor- dination of these facilities required consideration of the following parameters: Physical site characteristics . Flexibility for phased development. • Material flow. • Vehicle traffic patterns. • Security. • Utilities . • Proximity to steam customer. • Aesthetics. A significant constraint and one which added appreciably to the cost of site development was the incident of high water table on the site. This fact necessitated elevating the station to obtain the required elevation difference for transfer vehicle loadina. Most of the site will be encompassed by buildings or pavement. The resultant odd corners and narrow strips are to be planted in native materials requiring minimal attention. 6B PROJECT SCHEDULING The Phase I project implementation schedule developed in Figure 6-4 indicates that the transfer station can be in full operation by ! February, 1981 (assuming a September 1, 1979 starting date) . It should be noted that a fast track design/construct program can be utilized to reduce this time requirement. An implementation schedule for the Phase II Resource Recovery project is presented in Figure 6-5. As indicated, a detailed, site specific feasibility study is the first step in project development. The State Solid Waste Management Board, through its SB-650 grant program, pro- vides funding for this type of study. _ 40
