Transfer/Processing Report Tracy Material Recovery and Transfer Facility 30703 S. MacArthur Drive, Tracy, California 95377 • Construct and operate biomass gasification unit. ® Allow 24-hour operation and maintenance of the biomass gasification unit • Utilize 40 TPD of clean wood chips processed at the on-site Organic Processing Facility as the fuel source. • Generate 1 mega-watt/hour of green energy for use for on-site operations Table 3 - Current Baseline and Proposed Operation for Biomass Wood Chips Current System — Baseline Proposed Biomass Gasification Unit Fuel Source Processed clean wood chips from permitted facilities that remove treated wood waste and other contaminants. Fuel Supply 40 tons per day of clean wood chips from on-site wood waste recovered from the mixed C&D Processing Facility and wood waste processing area.
