Road by vehicles entering and leaving the site is cleaned up by Forward personnel. The site is graded to provide all-weather access. 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 1. 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. 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 at night or adjacent to the RRF building and when the RRF is not in operation. Access. The site access plan is shown in Figure 2. Access to the site is from Austin Road, a rural two-lane, paved road. The access road to the RRF is located about 1,600 feet south of the landfill entrance road; south of the South Fork. There are no turning lanes for traffic on Austin Road or stacking lanes within the site. Unauthorized site access is restricted by perimeter fencing and lockable gates. Signs prohibiting unauthorized access have been posted on the fence along the levee adjacent to the South Fork and along Austin Road at approximately 300-foot intervals. The locations of the access roads and perimeter fencing are shown in Figures 1 and 2. All truck traffic backs up to either the tipping area or wood pile (depending on the load) and drives out after dumping. The traffic flow into and out of the RRF for both incoming wastes and outgoing wastes and materials are shown in Figure 10. 2.1.10 Development Stages Include a schematic drawing detailing the sequence of development stages of the composting operations. A processing area at the Compost Facility will be developed as needed to manage compostable materials being delivered to the site. Developing the Compost Facility in this manner will allow Forward initially to construct and operate the facility with a low throughput. This development plan will allow Forward to expand as necessary to meet Forward Composting Facility Z:\PROJECTS\Allied Waste\Forward\Resource Recovery Facility\Permitting Services\2009 RCSI\RCSI Final 031609.doc; Page 24
