TRACY MATERIALS RECOVERY & TRANSFER FACILITY RFI AMENDMENT NO. 3 • Cardboard and other packaging materials derived from materials installed in or applied to the building or structure or from tools and equipment used in the course of the construction work. Materials are delivered to the facility in debris box trucks, commercial vehicles, and self -haul vehicles. Vehicles are weighed at the facility entrance. Trucks and debris boxes containing C&D debris are dumped in the C&D Processing Area as shown on Figure 3. The main components of C&D recycling are wood, inerts, and metals. The C&D debris will not exceed 1 % putrescible material. Operations: C&D debris requiring little or no processing will be directed to the C&D Processing Area which may be separated by a small front-end loader and manual labor and placed in individual metal bin containers by commodity types (i.e., metals, wood waste, and cardboard). Large or bulky materials may be pushed from the Processing Area directly into the Transfer Station for further handling. The inerts are collected in metal bins and taken to the Inert Processing Area. Appliances are taken to the Appliance Recycling Area. Wood is delivered to the Wood Waste Processing Area. The minimal amount of green and yard waste is delivered to the Yard Waste Processing Area. The remaining C&D material will be placed on the tipping floor and be manually sorted with some assistance of a front-end loader to push the sorted piles and to load the recovered material to be placed into small 3 cubic yard to 5 cubic yard metal bins by commodity types for temporary storage adjacent to the C&D Processing Area. At the end of each day, the C&D Debris Processing Area is cleared and no material is left on the processing area overnight. Storage of C&D materials is limited to that day of operations only. The recycled commodities are stored in bins until full, and then are taken to other operations on-site where the storage time is limited to the activity and those specific operations. Figure 3 — Preliminary Site Plan has been amended to show the Appliance Recycling Area in the northwest corner of the facility. TMR/TS stores metal appliances at the site and contracts out the removal of mercury switches and other items to a Certified Appliance Recycler. On January 1, 2006, any person who transports, delivers, or sells discarded major appliances to a scrap recycling facility must provide evidence that the person is a certified appliance recycler. Certification allows the removal of materials requiring special handling and the ability to transport, deliver, or sell discarded major appliances to a scrap recycling facility.
