Average Daily Throughput <br /> Provide an estimate of the anticipated average daily throughput of the fa- <br /> cility in tons [14 CCR 18220(g)]. Include the calculations used to determine <br /> these capacities. Give these figures in tons per operating day. If tonnage <br /> was figured from records of cubic yards, include the conversion factor used. <br /> Table 1.1 summarizes the waste volumes accepted at the Forward RRF in 1992, a repre- <br /> sentative year. As of August 1993, the recycling rate for incoming loads at the RRF is <br /> between 70 and 80 percent, up from 45 percent in 1992. The residuals are sent to the For- <br /> ward Landfill. Since the site does not have scales, the tonnages listed below are reported <br /> as tons of materials sold. <br /> Table 1.1 <br /> 1992 Waste Stream Summary' <br /> Forward Resource Recovery Facility <br /> Weight Daily Average Daily Peak <br /> FWaste Category (tons) (TPD)b (TPD)° <br /> Wood 12,467 48 48 <br /> Metals 287 1 1 <br /> Plastic 0 0 0 <br /> Cardboard 1,227 5 5 <br /> Computer Paper 22 0.1 0.1 <br /> Newspaper 1 0 0 <br /> TOTAL 14,004 54 54 <br /> 'Reference: Forward Resource Recovery 1992 Recycled Products.
