2 -2 <br />2.1.3 Incoming Materials Storage <br />Due to the smalt-Iesser traffic volume of t raffic at the RRF (including the Compost Facility ), all <br />of the incoming materials are sto red, sorted, and processed unloaded on the tipping floor <br />(Figures-.B. 6 and 7) and then reloaded onto larger transfer trailers for trans port to a permitted <br />rec ycler. There are no peak loading periods at the RRF. However . W~hen the building is at <br />capacity , incoming loads are not accepted until there is sufficient capacity to handle the load. <br />Except for mixed recyclables and green and wood wastes heet roc l(, and simi lar inert materials , <br />no incoming loads are stored anywhere else bHt-except inside the RRF building. Residual <br />municipal solid waste is not stored at t he facility for longer than 48 hours. Residual <br />materials are stored in one of five bins. The transfer station has the capacity to store <br />approximately 200 to 500 tons of was t C/recyclables within the structure. This storage <br />capacity is sufficient to handle periods during the operating day when the ra te of incoming <br />tons per hour rate exceeds the rate of outgoing tons per hour i ncluding aotivities associa t ed <br />wit h sorting, processing, and remova l of ,. .. 'a stes and/or recyclables . <br />2.1.4 Materials Removal <br />When a fu ll sh i pment of recycled materials is ready, t hey are it is transported to a secondary <br />materials market. The remaining unrecyclable wastes are loaded into drop boxes or transfer <br />trailers and transported to the landfill for disposal. These non-recoverable materials are <br />removed as necessary. None of the materials are hazardous or pose a health risk. <br />V/i t h t he excep t ion of no nferrous metals, the segrega t ed ma t eri als wi t h a ma rl (et value are <br />stored outside t he RR F bui ld i ng un t il t here is a suffic ien t quantity to sell at marl(et or a marl~et <br />deve lops for the materials (Le., sup ply a nd dema nd). The ma t eria ls most li l ~e l y to pose a <br />nuisa nce or vector risl~ (i.e ., glass , cans , eto.) are stored in cO'tered bins . No long term storage <br />of an y mate ria ls is currently planned . <br />8a led cardboard is strapped to a fla t bed t ru cl( f or t ransport. Except f or the alum inum, t he <br />storage bins with scrap metal are Rot covered since the metal is too heavy t o fly out of t he <br />ve hicl es . The a lu minum bins a re covered and locl<ed. The trucl<s con t a in ing wood chips are <br />covered wi t h a t a rpjmes h. <br />Mixed Rr ecyclables collected by route trucks will also be are received at the transfer station. <br />These materials will be are loaded onto large transfer trailers and hauled to a permitted <br />recycler by an independent waste hauler. All materials are transported on Department of <br />Transportation (DOT) approved vehicles. <br />Under normal operations, wastesjrecyclables are processed within 24 hours. The maximum <br />residual mun ici pal solid waste storage in the RRF building will be 48 hours or less depending <br />on availab le storage capacity as required by 14 CCR, Section 17410.1(a)(2). <br />Forward Resource Recovery Facility SWT Engineering <br />Transfer/Processing Report -May 2014 <br />zo 'orojects'aliied waste \forward \reso urce recovery fa Cili ty'S yr permit rvw 2 0 1 3-1 4 \tD r 2014\te!(1\rey Irack\sec2-rev <br />~~;\lilroje6ts\allieel was~e "fep, ... afelVeSeI:lF6e reee','ery (a Gility"S yr ~eFffiit PM 201;5 14¥~f 2014\tellt\See2.ele6
