1-1 <br />1.0 FACILITY OVERVIEW <br />1.1 Introduction and Purpose <br />The Forward Resource Recovery Facility (RRF) is located in Manteca within San Joaquin <br />County. The RRF is a large volume transfer/processing facility. The California Code of <br />Regulations, Title 14 (14 CCR), Section 17402(a)(8) defines a large volume <br />transfer/processing facility as "a facility that receives 100 tons or more of solid waste per <br />operating day for the purpose of storing, handling or processing the waste prior to <br />transferring the waste to another solid waste operation or facility." In accordance with the <br />current permitting requirements included in 14 CCR, a Transfer/Processing Report (TPR) <br />was prepared for the RRF and the original full Solid Waste Facility Permit (SWFP) No. 39-AA- <br />0020 was issued by the San Joaquin County Environmental Health Department (EHD), <br />acting as the Local Enforcement Agency (LEA). A Five-Year Permit Review was completed in <br />2009 and the LEA issued a Five-Year Permit Review Report in June 2009. Subsequently, <br />the TPR was amended to address the Findings/Directives of the LEA's Permit Review Report. <br />As a result of the 2009 Permit Review, a new front page of the existing SWFP was issued by <br />the LEA. The County of San Joaquin LEA notified the Owner/Operator (Forward, Inc.) that the <br />Forward RRF is due for Permit Review on May 3, 2014. As part of the Five-Year Permit <br />Review for Forward RRF, this TPR (originally submitted in 2003) has been updated to reflect <br />current operational conditions in accordance with 14 CCR, Section 18221.6. <br />The RRF no longe r sorts or separates ma t er ia ls . The mM ixed recyclables are delivered to the <br />RRF and offloaded into the transfer station building, where in turn those recyclable materials <br />are loaded onto large transfer trailers and transported to another permitted recycler.
