1-7 <br />Forward Composting Facility SWT Engineering <br /> Report of Composting Site Information - August 201 9January 2022 <br />z:\projects\allied waste\forward\resource recovery facility\5 yr permit rvw 2019-2020\rcsi 2019\text\sec 1.doc <br />1.3.3 Average Load Capacity Next Five Years <br />The projected average annual load will be market -driven and depends on the availability of <br />feedstock for the composting operation and for use of the product. Currently, it is thought <br />that the average load capacity will be less than the maximum throughput of 1,100 tpd. It <br />should be noted that the annual operation capacity is estimated to range from 332,000 to <br />572,000 cubic yards, in accordance with 14 CCR, Section 18227(h). <br />1.3.4 D esign Capacity <br />As previously discussed, the Compost Facility is designed to process approximately up to <br />1,100 tpd. The specific capacity depends on the composting process being used, density of <br />materials, and quality of the composted product. The facility was designed to have sufficient <br />area for receiving, preprocessing, composting, curing, and storing these incoming materials <br />as well as residue. Detailed design calculations are included in Appendix B. <br />1.3.5 Feedstock Material Types <br />The feedstock materials as allowed under WDR Order No. R5 -2014-0006 and WDR Order <br />No. 2020 -0012-DWQ may include, but not be limited to green material, green material <br />mixed with food waste, food waste, food processing residue , manure, mixed paper, cannery <br />rinse water, and agricultural waste, as described in 14 CCR, Section 17852. All incoming <br />feedstock will be spread out for manual screening in the manual screening area (see Figure <br />2) before being stockpiled. Composition of the material is dependent on the source of the <br />feedstock and t ime of year. Preprocessing before composting will be completed as needed <br />to produce a product suitable for the final use. <br />Section 1.3 provides a detailed definition of all of the feedstock materials to be utilized at <br />the Compost Facility. <br />1.4 Types and Numbers of Vehicles Anticipated to Enter the Facility <br />The remote, rural location of the site already minimizes any interference and safety <br />problems for traffic on the adjacent Austin Road. Stacking of vehicles from the <br />RRF /Compost Facility on Austin Road has not been an issue and is not anticipated to be an <br />issue in the future , nor will incoming or outgoing vehicles be allowed to park or idle along <br />Austin Road. In addition, stop signs are posted at RRF /Compost Facility exit to control the <br />flow of traffic. Based on the Solid Waste Facility Permit s 39-AA-0015 and 39-AA-0020, t T he <br />combined Forward Landfill, RRF , and Compost Facility are expectedpermitted to receive a <br />maximum of 620 trips/day as discussed in the Final Environmental Impact Report (FEIR) <br />dated December 2002 from which Land Use Permit No. UP-00-07 was issued and as <br />specified in SWFP No. 39 -AA-0020 (see Appendix A). Trucks entering the RRF/Compost <br />Facility are directed to the appropriate feedstock unloading area or the RRF building. These <br />traffic measures control the traffic flow into, on, and out of the RRF/Compost F acility in a <br />safe manner as required by 14 CCR, Section 17867 (a)(6).
