TRACY MATERIALS RECOVERY &TRANSFER FACILITY RFI AMENDMENT NO. 3 Materials are delivered to the facility in debris box trucks and commercial vehicles.Vehicles are weighed at the facility entrance scale. Trucks and debris boxes containing inert (Type A) debris are dumped in the Inert Storage and Processing Area as shown on Figure 3. C&D debris and other reject materials are separated out by both machine and hand processing and removed from the Inert Storage and Processing Area. Operations: A front-end loader will also periodically spread the in material out to allow the manual labor to remove the reject material from the interior of the loads. On the north end of the pile, upon dumping, a front-end loader will spread the inert out on the ground, not in a pile. C&D material and reject material are removed by hand from the exterior of the storage pile. Manual labor will be removing contaminants by hand, but will not be sorting the heavy inerts or processing them. I. The laborers will hand pick contaminants from the inert pile that had been spread out by heavy equipment. And that the heavy equipment will not be active, and will be parked, when hand collection of contaminates is underway. A trained worker, with rebar cutters —or welding torch for larger pieces, will cut the metal off the inerts while the front-end loader is parked and non-operational. Only after the workers have left the inert processing area, will the front-end loader operator push the material up to a 2:1 on the north slope. The IIPP addresses wearing safety equipment. The recent monthly safety meetings of the IIPP training sessions have focused on safety nearby the inerts and C&D materials. No additional signage is proposed with the IIPP training, where existing employees and new employees will be notified and trained. After removal on contaminants, the inert debris is then spread-out by the loader so that oversized pieces can be separated for pre-processing. Pre-processing involves breaking down the debris into pieces small enough to be accommodated by contracted crushing machinery. Should additional rebar need to be cut after the pre-processing, the trained worker, with rebar cutters —or welding torch for larger pieces, will cut the metal off the inerts while the front-end loader is parked and non-operational. The concrete debris is stockpiled up to 4,000 cubic yard in 200 feet by 50 feet storage area not to exceed 6 months. When a sufficient stockpile is created for efficient crushing operation, the concrete is crushed by a contracted portable, trailer-mounted grinder. Dust from materials handling is controlled with water spray from handheld hoses. The front-end loader also loads the inert material onto a slanted metal screen to remove fines and dirt from commingled loads of inert and dirt. The grill allows the fines to go through the screen, and allow the inert material to be screened off prior to transport off-site. Once concrete has completed crushing and screening process, it is stockpiled ® awaiting removal from the site by truck for use as an aggregate base material for EDGAR&ASSOCIATES, INC. 3 NOVEMBER 6, 2006
