Grit/grease from wastewater treatment plants and restaurant grease traps, holding tank pumpings and septic tank pumpings may be accepted. Acceptance of these wastes depends on having sufficient dry compost feedstock to absorb excess water. Water from these sources will be used to replace use of onsite water to create initial compost mixture mois- ture content within the desired range. Mixed paper is paper contaminated by organics suitable for composting that is not suitable for direct recycling or paper that is used as a bulking agent. Ash may be incorporated into composting mixtures to help reduce odors. The specific mixtures for composting will be developed based on the availability of feed- stocks, desired use of the product and the operating parameters outlined in this permit application required for proper composting. These mixtures will be based on operating experience with the specific materials received. D. Types and Numbers of Vehicles Anticipated to Enter the Facility Include information as to the types and numbers of vehicles anticipated to enter the facility. The traffic to the Forward Landfill and RRF will not increase beyond the traffic impacts if both facilities operate at permitted capacity. Korve Engineering conducted a traffic study of the Forward Landfill and RRF in 1992. The study was for the entire Forward site (landfill and RRF). Based on the traffic study, the existing average daily number of trucks entering the Forward site was 40 and the aver- age tonnage per truck was estimated to be 8.8 tons. In the future, the average tonnage is expected to increase as the site accepts a higher proportion of more dense wastes such as soil, sludge, and ash. The future tonnage per truck is assumed to be 10 tons. This number was derived by multiplying the percentages of the different wastes that are predicted to be accepted in the future by the amount in tons of each particular material that can be hauled per truck. These numbers were then averaged to obtain the average load of 10 tons per truck. rTo estimate the average daily number of trucks entering the Forward site during the final year of operation (2006), the predicted tonnage for the site (837,000 tons) is divided by 312 (the average number of operating days per year, including Saturday) which calculates to be 2,682 TPD. Dividing this daily average by the predicted 10 tons per truck is approx- imately an average of 268 trucks per operating day entering the Forward site in the final year of operation. This traffic increase will gradually occur over a 13-year period. Based on the traffic study and Forward's records, the months of March through July con- sistently accept a higher volume of waste (and traffic) and the month of December accepts wa10029W3. 5115 9/28/94 15
