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 A. 1.3.5 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, food waste, garbage, biosolids, and mixed solid waste, as described in 14 CCR 17852. Composition of the material will be dependent on the source of the feed stock and time of year. Biosolids may be raw, aerobically digested, or anaerobically digested and will be dewatered to 15 to 50 percent dry solids. Biosolids will be composted using the aerated static pile or enclosed agitated bed composting processes before composting using Windrow composting alternatives. Preprocessing before composting will be as required to produce a product suitable for the final use. 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 moisture 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 feedstocks, 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. 1.4 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 remote, rural location of the site already minimizes any interference and safety problems for traffic on the adjacent Austin Road. All vehicles at the landfill are scheduled in advance and the landfill is not open to the public. Stacking of vehicles from the RRF on Austin Road has not and will continue to not occur. In addition to all vehicles at the landfill being scheduled and directed by the office trailer attendant, stop signs are posted at RRF exit. The RRF is expected to receive an average of 150 trucks per day included as part of the 620 trip maximum threshold allowed for the entire Forward facility (landfill and RRF) as discussed in the Final Environmental Impact Report (FEIR) dated December 2002 from which Land Use Permit No. UP-00-07 was issued. Trucks entering the RRF entrance stop at the scale trailers and are directed to the appropriate WMU at the landfill or the RRF.
