3 -5 <br />3.1.5.1 Materials Processing and Sorting <br />Current operations at the RRF include green and wood ' .... aste processing and the transfer of <br />mixed recyclables. The following is a description of the current operational procedures. <br />Wood Sorting Operat ion <br />Wood waste , lum ber, and/or brush are placed in the wood waste sorti ng area to remove any <br />res idua l waste and then it is moved to the gr i nd i ng area . The material is ground and <br />processed in the wood grinde r and utilized fo r compost mate ri a l. The wood stoc l ~pi l es are <br />l im ited to a 1 00 foot by 40 foo t area, 12 feet high , as spe cified by the loca l fire department. <br />The wood grinding operat ioAs are a m i nimum 100 fuet from the RRF bui lding. <br />Recyclables Operation <br />At this time, no recyclables sorting operations are performed at the RRF. However, if the <br />recyclables sorting operation is implemented again then wood, cardboard, plastic, paper and <br />newspaper, glass, and metals will be segregated from the waste stream. Mechanized sorting <br />may be done to process the recyclables. Currently, no sorting equipment is in-place within the <br />RRF building. When a full shipment of a specific material is ready, it will be loaded onto a large <br />transfer trailer for hauling to a permitted recycler. The remaining residual wastes will be <br />loaded into the MSW bins and transported to Forward Landfill for disposal. None of the <br />material transfer activities will interfere with other operations or the traffic flow. <br />Recyclable Materials Transfer Operations <br />At this time, the station area is only being used to transfer mixed recyclable material. During <br />recyclables transfer operations, no separation or sorting of recyclables is performed. The <br />route trucks hauling the mixed recyclables unload inside the RRF transfer building and then <br />the materials are loaded onto large transfer trucks for hauling to a permitted recycler. <br />3.1.5.2 Storage of Salvaged or Recycled Materials <br />Storage of salvaged or recycled materials is performed in accordance with 14 CCR, Section <br />17409.3(d). There is no long-term storage of recyclable materials at the RRF. During the <br />recyclables transfer operation, no materials will be stored onsite. The materials will be <br />loaded onto large transfer trucks and hauled generally the same day to a permitted recycler. <br />Wood waste , l umber, and/or brush a re p laced i nit ia lly in the wood waste stoc l ~p il e/sorting a rea <br />when the material is manually screened for residual waste . The material is then moved t o the <br />gri nding area, located d ireetly adjaeent to the sorting area. The material is then ground and <br />proeessed in the wood grinder. The wood stoe l ~pile area is confined t o a 100 foot by 40 foot <br />area, 12 fuet high as spee ified by the loea l fire agency . The stool(piles must be I~ept a <br />minimum of 100 f eet from the transfer building. <br />Forward Resource Recovery Facility SWT Engineering <br />Transfer/Processing Report -May~ 2014 <br />z:\projects \alli ed waste \forwardVesource recovery fac ility\5 yr perm it rvw 2013-14\tpr 2014\text\sec3 .do c
