3-9 Forward Resource Recovery Facility SWT Engineering Transfer/Processing Report - July 2014 z:\projects\allied waste\forward\resource recovery facility\5 yr permit rvw 2013-14\tpr 2014\text\sec3.doc Transfer Station The transfer/processing of materials will occur within the 12,000 square foot building. Rainwater from the roof of the building will be directed from the down spouts to the existing drain ditches and then collected/stored in the sedimentation basin. Sediment Basin All non-contact water being directed to the sedimentation basin is sampled and analyzed in accordance with Forward’s Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) and Storm Water Monitoring Plan (SWMP) prior to discharge to the South Fork of South Littlejohn’s Creek, if necessary. A copy of the SWPPP is kept at the site office. A log is kept on site recording the volume of storm water discharged to the Creek. Roads All roads have been constructed with road base, gravel, and recycled asphalt to provide a safe and stable surface for travel. The roads have been graded to direct run-off through the existing ditches to the sediment pond. The Operations Manager or their designee will monitor and inspect the condition and order of all drainage facilities, surfaces, and slopes as part of their daily operations. Drainage control features and on-site access roads will be inspected routinely, and at least weekly during high- intensity rainfall periods. All necessary repairs will be performed promptly and will be documented. Temporary berms, straw mulch, sand bags, or other erosion-control measures may be used to prevent erosion damage of soil covered areas when weather conditions inhibit complete repairs. 3.2.2 Dust Control (14 CCR, Sections 17407.4 and 18221.6 (j)) In accordance with 14 CCR, Section 17407.4, dust control measures are conducted at the RRF. Dust is controlled at the site by (1) use of the partially enclosed RRF building (open on one side) (2) proper maintenance of haul roads (paving, grading, oiling, and watering) and (3) by limiting the speed of all vehicles on site to 10 miles per hour. Water is the main dust control procedure used to control dust. Haulers are protected from dust by unloading from the front of the building. Dust within the RRF building is controlled by sweeping/cleaning the building floor and dust masks are provided to personnel. For dust control purposes, surface- water runoff or on-site well water will be applied to the main access road and processing areas. Approximately 100,000 gallons of water are utilized per day. No disposal or treatment of this water is required since only a minimal amount is utilized and either evaporates or is absorbed by the road or ground resulting in no run-off. The track-out of mud and dirt onto Austin Road is limited by having a minimum 120-foot long paved exit road that allows mud and dirt to drop off before exiting the site, removing the
