1-4 cargo transfer and storage facility, is located approximately one mile northeast of the landfill site, along the railroad main lines. Composting operations are not conducted over any portion of the Forward Landfill existing waste fill. However, the composting facility is located on an area permitted for future WMUs. 1.3 Quantity of Materials to be Accepted The Compost Facility handles any decomposable organic material as allowed under WDR Order No. 135-2014-0006 including, but not limited to, green material, green material mixed with food waste, food waste, food processing residue, manure, mixed paper, cannery rinse water, and agricultural wastes, as defined in Title 14 (Chapter 3.1, Article 1, Section 17852) of the California Code of Regulations (CCR). Compost may be marketed off-site as a product or utilized on-site as a soil amendment with prior approval by the LEA. Further definition of these wastes is described below: ♦ Green Material means "any plant material that is separated at the point of generation, contains no greater than 1.0 percent of physical contaminants by weight, and meets the requirements of Section 17868.5. Green material includes, but is not limited to, yard trimmings, untreated wood wastes, natural fiber products, and construction and demolition wood waste. Green material does not include food material, biosolids, mixed solid waste, material processed from commingled collection, wood containing lead-based paint or wood preservative, mixed construction or mixed demolition debris." ♦ Food Material means "any material that was acquired for animal or human consumption is separated from the municipal solid waste stream, and that does not meet the definition of "agricultural material." Food material may include material from food facilities as defined in Health and Safety Code, Section 113785, grocery stores, institutional cafeterias (such as, prisons, schools and hospitals) or residential food scrap collection." In addition, the composting facility also handles food processing residue as feedstock. ♦ Manure is an agricultural material and means "accumulated herbivore or avian excrement. This definition shall include feces and urine, and any bedding material, spilled feed, or soil that is mixed with feces or urine. " ♦ 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. ♦ "Cannery Rinse Water" is produced from the cleaning of produce in preparation for canning, from the cleaning of equipment, and from the actual canning process. The rinsate water contains approximately one to two percent solids. For additional information regarding cannery waste operations at the Forward Landfill, as well as operational procedures and BMPs, refer to Waste Discharge Requirements (WDR) Order No. 135-2014-0006 (see Appendix A). ♦ Agricultural waste "include wastes resulting from the production and processing of farm or agricultural products, including manures, pruning and crop residues wherever produced."
