1-1 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\sec1.doc 1.0 FACILITY OVERVIEW 1.1 Introduction and Purpose The Forward Resource Recovery Facility (RRF) is located in Manteca within San Joaquin County. The RRF is a large volume transfer/processing facility. The California Code of Regulations, Title 14 (14 CCR), Section 17402(a)(8) defines a large volume transfer/processing facility as “a facility that receives 100 tons or more of solid waste per operating day for the purpose of storing, handling or processing the waste prior to transferring the waste to another solid waste operation or facility.” In accordance with the current permitting requirements included in 14 CCR, a Transfer/Processing Report (TPR) was prepared for the RRF and the original full Solid Waste Facility Permit (SWFP) No. 39-AA- 0020 was issued by the San Joaquin County Environmental Health Department (EHD), acting as the Local Enforcement Agency (LEA). A Five-Year Permit Review was completed in 2009 and the LEA issued a Five-Year Permit Review Report in June 2009. Subsequently, the TPR was amended to address the Findings/Directives of the LEA's Permit Review Report. As a result of the 2009 Permit Review, a new front page of the existing SWFP was issued by the LEA. The County of San Joaquin LEA notified the Owner/Operator (Forward, Inc.) that the Forward RRF is due for Permit Review on May 3, 2014. As part of the Five -Year Permit Review for Forward RRF, this TPR (originally submitted in 2003) has been updated to reflect current operational conditions in accordance with 14 CCR, Section 18221.6. Mixed recyclables are delivered to the RRF and offloaded into the transfer station building, where in turn those recyclable materials are loaded onto large transfer trailers and transported to another permitted recycler. 1.2 Proposed Changes to Operations This TPR presents minor changes in the site’s design and operations since the last Five-Year Permit Review. 1.3 Owner/Operator (14 CCR, Section 18221.6 (a) and (o)) The RRF is presently owned and operated by Forward, Inc.
