with organics suitable for composting that would make direct recycling difficult or if eco- <br /> nomics indicated that composting would be preferable. <br /> Table 1.2 summarizes the waste inflow characterization of materials received at the For- <br /> ward Landflll. Of these materials, it is anticipated that wood ash, sludge and non- <br /> recyclable commercial waste could be composted. Other permitted wastes that could be <br /> composted include grit/grease, holding tank pumpings, residential wastes, septic tank <br /> pumpings and agricultural wastes including green material. <br /> The specific materials to be composted will depend on a number of factors: <br /> • Availability of materials delivered to Forward <br /> • Available markets or end use of compost produced <br /> • Specific ratio of materials and compatibility in development of compostable <br /> mixtures; i.e., moisture content, C:N ratio, porosity, etc. <br /> The average load capacity that will be received is unknown. The quantity will be some <br /> fraction of the current loading at a minimum. Initially, Forward will compost wood waste <br /> and green materials. Forward intends to develop the market for organic materials and <br /> increase the quantity of materials composted depending on the demand in the marketplace <br /> and ability to use the composted product. <br /> Table 1.2 <br /> 1992 Waste Inflow Characterization <br /> Forward Landfill <br /> Quantity <br /> Waste Category (cy) Percentage <br /> Asbestos 82,778 33.6 <br /> Co-Generation Ash 30,602 12.4 <br /> Other Ash 1,548 0.6 <br /> Sludge 13,897 5.6 <br /> Contaminated Soil 19,242 7.8 <br /> Non-Recyclable Commercial Waste 92,141 37.4 <br /> Clean Soil 6,223 2.5 <br /> Treated Wood 95 0.1 <br /> Total 246,526 100 <br /> Source: Forward, Inc.
