3. Average Load Capacity Next 5 Years State the projected average load capacity the facility will receive on a yearly basis over the next five years expressed in tons. Include the calculations used in determining these capacities. If tonnage was figured from records of cubic yards, include the conversion factor. The projected average annual load is unknown. The average annual load will depend on the marketplace in terms of feed stock for the composting operation and for use of the product. Initially the quantity of material will be some fraction of the materials currently received. This will increase in the future potentially to the capacity of compost facility. 4. Design Capacity Provide an estimate of the design capacity of the facility expressed in tons (14 CCR 18220 (g)J. Include the calculations used in determining these capacities. If tonnage was figured from records of cubic yards, include the conversion factor: Provide contingency plans for fluctuations and potential interruptions in composting operations. As discussed in the section on Maximum Daily Load Capacity, for the alternatives evalu- ated the Compost Facility is designed to process 640 to 1,100 TPD of various mixtures of wood waste, green material, food processing residue, sewage sludge, mixed solid waste, manure, mixed paper, ash, grit/grease, holding tank pumpings, septic tank pumpings and agricultural waste assuming five operating days per week. The specific capacity depends on the composting process being used, density of materials and quality of the composted product. The facility was designed to have sufficient area for receiving, preprocessing, composting, curing, and storing these incoming materials as well as residue. Detailed design calculations are included in Appendix 1. i 5. Feedstock Material Types Descriptions of the types of materials accepted or proposed for acceptance should be provided. The feedstock materials may include green material, food processing residue, sewage sludge, mixed solid waste, and manure as described in 14 CCR 17852. Composition of the material will be dependent on the source of the feed stock and time of year. Sewage sludge may be raw, aerobically digested, or anaerobically digested and will be dewatered to 15 to 50 percent dry solids. Sewage sludge will be composted using the aerated static pile or enclosed agitated bed composting processes before composting using Windrow compost- ing alternatives. Preprocessing before composting will be as required to produce a product suitable for the final use. su10029B63.wp5/14 9/28/94 14
