Tipping Areas. Except for "all wood" loads, all sortable incoming wastes are dumped on the tipping floor inside the RRF building. The "all wood" loads are unloaded directly at the wood pile. Storage Areas. Except for aluminum and cardboard, all of the segregated materials are temporarily stored outside the RRF in trucks and bins as shown in Figure 10. The wood grinding area is approximately 15,000 square feet. Extra equipment is stored in the equipment maintenance area and storage yard at the landfill. Extra parts are stored in a trailer on the southwestern side of the RRF building. Wastes awaiting transfer into vehicles are stored on the tipping floor until segregated. Except for glass and aluminum storage, the empty and full storage bins and containers are stored on the north side of the RRF building in an area approximately 7,500 square feet. The glass storage is on the southern side of the RRF building and the aluminum is stored inside the RRF building in locked metal bins. The incoming compostable materials will be mixed into compost piles the same day as received. There will be no storage of compost feedstock. Parking Areas. Visitor and employee parking are on the east side of the RRF building. The four empty transfer vehicles are parked on the north side of the RRF building, near the entrance area. The parking area for the loaded transfer vehicles is also on the north side of the RRF building, as shown in Figure 10. The vehicles used in salvaging and recycling operations are parked on the tipping floor or adjacent to the RRF building at night and when the RRF is not in operation. Processing Areas. The Compost Facility will include areas for receiving, precompost processing, post-processing, and compost storage. Non-processible materials will be hauled daily to the Forward Landfill for disposal. Figure 1 includes a general dimension of the unloading, storage, processing, parking, and loading areas. Design calculations for these areas are included in Appendix A. Prevention of the Propagation of Vectors and the Creation of Nuisances. The site will be graded as shown on the grading plan to promote drainage of surface water from all areas of the site into two ditches that drain to a retention pond. The site will be constructed of compacted native earth. On site soils are silt and clay, and will provide a relatively impermeable surface. The site will be graded relatively smooth allowing complete removal of deposited feedstock. Feedstock such as food processing residue will be incorporated immediately into compost piles to minimize the chance of vector attraction and reproduction and odor production. Semi-solid and liquid feedstocks will be added to other feedstocks at a rate to meet the composting mixture moisture criteria, thus minimizing the potential for leachate formation. Semi-solid and liquid feedstocks will be incorporated immediately into compost piles to minimize the chance of vector attraction and reproduction and odor production. Other highly putresible wastes such as grass will also be incorporated immediately into compost to minimize the chance of vector attraction and reproduction and odor production. All feedstocks will be mixed in proportions that promote efficient composting, aerobic conditions and minimize ammonia odor release.
