2-9 <br />Forward Composting Facility SWT Engineering <br /> Report of Composting Site Information - July 2014 <br />z:\projects\allied waste\forward\resource recovery facility\5 yr permit rvw 2013-14\rcsi 2014\text\sec 2.doc <br />2.1.8 Site Access <br />The entrance to the RRF/Compost Facility is all-weather surfaces. Onsite roads are <br />constructed, as needed. These onsite roads will be constructed with onsite soils, crushed <br />asphalt or aggregate, or both. The roads are maintained by site personnel. The first 120 <br />feet of the entrance road are paved. The area is swept, as needed. Debris is picked up, the <br />roads are graded occasionally, and watered daily for dust control. In addition, litter is raked <br />or picked up by hand. In the event that dirt is inadvertently tracked onto Austin Road by <br />vehicles leaving the site, the street sweeper will be deployed. The site is graded to provide <br />all-weather access. <br />Storage Areas. Extra equipment is stored in the equipment maintenance area and storage <br />yard at the landfill. Extra parts are stored in a trailer on the southwestern side of the RRF <br />building. <br />Parking Areas. Visitor and employee parking are on the east side of the RRF building as <br />shown on Figure 5. <br />Access. Access to the site is from Austin Road, a rural two-lane, paved road and is shown on <br />Figure 5. The access road to the RRF/Compost Facility is located about 1,600 feet south of <br />the landfill entrance road; south of the South Fork. There are no turning lanes for traffic on <br />Austin Road or stacking lanes within the site. However, the entrance scale is set back from <br />Austin Road approximately 275 feet, allowing for adequate queuing of incoming traffic. <br />Unauthorized access to the RRF/Compost Facility is restricted by perimeter fencing and <br />lockable gates in accordance with 14 CCR, Section 17867(a)(5). Signs prohibiting <br />unauthorized access have been posted on the fence along the levee adjacent to the South <br />Fork and along Austin Road at approximately 300-foot intervals. The locations of the access <br />roads and perimeter fencing are shown in Figures 2 and 6. <br />All truck traffic backs up to either the tipping area or green waste/wood pile (depending on <br />the load) and drives out after dumping. The traffic flow into and out of the RRF/Compost <br />Facility for both incoming wastes and outgoing wastes, finished compost product, and <br />recyclable materials is shown in Figure 5. <br />2.1.9 Development Stages <br />A processing area at the Compost Facility is utilized to manage compostable materials being <br />delivered to the site. Developing the Compost Facility in this manner allowed Forward <br />initially to construct and operate the facility with a low throughput. This development plan <br />has also allowed Forward to increase or decrease material/waste inflow, as necessary, to <br />meet the demands of the Compost Facility users and the market conditions for finished <br />compost products. <br />2.1.10 Amendments and Additives <br />Amendments and/or additives are not currently used in the compost process at this time. <br />Prior LEA approval will be required before the compost facility will use any amendments <br />and/or additives.
