3.5 <br />3.5.1 <br />Processing Operations <br />Development Stages <br />3-9 <br />Pro~lkie a description of #1e sequence of d-m'e,lopnwnt stages of the composting site <br />operation gi.'fng tentative implementation schedules for development and usage. This is an <br />a verall site de velopment plan, co.'OriRtf idenl/lication and timing of indiwdual phases of site <br />de~'Olopment. <br />The Compost Facility will be developed dependent on availability of suitable compostable <br />materials and equipment capability. The amount of material that ..... il l beis processed <br />depends on potential composting technologies. Forward has designed the Compost Facility <br />with the flexibility to expand its processing capability as the volume of incoming <br />materialstoAnages increase§. Figure 2.±A shows the site development areas. Project <br />development stages are also discussed in Section 2.1.9. <br />3.5.2 Type of Operations <br />,Include the type of eperation such as Wmd.ce.',s static pile, enclosed .'OSsel etc., and <br />describe a typical eperation cycle. ,Issues which should be addressed i nclude the amount of <br />waste recei.'Od (da/lj s ",'Oe/(Iy or monthl)~, froql:Jen c), of irrigation, aeration, tl:Jl17ing, wq'ndrow <br />pile size, etc. <br />The Compost Facil ity ' .... ill use e ithe r theuses the Windrow composting method turned by <br />front end loaders o r fLWindrow machine turners . The facility operations are further <br />described in the following sections. The amounts of waste received are described in detail <br />in Section 1.3, Quantity of Materia ls to be Acoepted . <br />a. Waste Handling and Separation <br />Describe plans for waste handling and separation. Describe control and monitoring for <br />fR{}}'ntenance of proper moisture content and temperature. <br />Vehicles delivering green waste material that has been preprocessed (ground) prior to <br />arriving at the Compost Facility or materials that do not need processing will be directed to a <br />separate unloading area to bypass grinding operations. Compost Facility personnel will <br />direct vehicles and supervise the unloading operations. <br />After the wastes materials are unloaded, laborers will remove unacceptable wastes such as <br />plastic bags and miscellaneous pieces of mixed waste.:. from t he materia l. Loads of material <br />that have been processed prior to arriving at the Compost Facility will be visually inspected <br />to ensure that contaminants are removed prior to composting. In addition, large <br />concentrations of wastes (and difficult to process materials l materia ls, which may be difficult <br />to process or compost, are may be segregated f rom incoming materia l and routed for <br />disposal. Difficult-to-process materials include palm and other vine like materials, which can <br />cause increased equipment maintenance and downtime; and eucalyptus, straw, and <br />redwood, which take a long time to decompose and may contain phytotoxic components. <br />Unacceptable wastes and large concentrations of difficult materials are placed in MSW <br />binswill be stoe l ~piled ons ite and transferred to an appropriatethe landfill 's working face for <br />disposal. <br />After personnel have removed unacceptable and/or difficult materials and large wood <br />objects from the waste which requires grinding, a front end loader will feed the waste into <br />the grinder or move the material within reach of a grapple that will load the grinder.
