III. coMPOSUNG FACH= OPERATIONS <br /> The Composting Facility and MRF/Transfer Station will be located on the same site and will <br /> share support facilities, personnel, and equipment. The Composting Facility and the <br /> MRF/Transfer Station will use the same site entrance. <br /> A. INTRODUMON <br /> The Composting Facility will process various green wastes and wood wastes. Various products, <br /> including mulches, landscaping materials, co-generation fuel, composts, soil amendments, and <br /> other related products, will be produced. <br /> Depending upon the availability, some animal manures, pumice, or other organic material may <br /> be composted to improve the quality of the finished compost products. <br /> Material handling will be accomplished with trucks, roll-off containers, front-end loaders and <br /> conveyors. Size-reduction of materials will be accomplished with an industrial-size tub grinder. <br /> Screening for various products and contaminants will be accomplished with an industrial screen <br /> and magnetic separation system. An aerobic windrow composting system will utilize a self- <br /> propelled window turner. <br /> Various processing operations will be conducted based on the type of waste material to be <br /> processed and the finished product to be produced. For example, not all wood waste will be <br /> composted. A portion of the wood wastes will be ground and screened for mulches, chips, co- <br /> generation fuel and other related products not requiring the composting process. <br /> The Compost Facility plans to operate up to 24 hours per day, 7 days per week. The facility <br /> will accept commercial loads between 4:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. and self-haul loads between 6:00 <br /> a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Equipment such as the tub grinder will not be operated during hours that may <br /> disturb nearby residents. <br /> B.
