be put into service during this time. Lovelace has some pre-qualified temporary drivers who are available to drive trucks when needed. As of 2025, 11 trucks are scheduled daily to transfer refuse to a Landfill. An additional 5 trucks are available if needed. 2.8.1 Storage Capacity Storage capacity is based on utilization of 60 percent of the useable floor space, or approximately 55,600 square feet. Assuming and an average waste height of 12 feet, a minimum storage volume of approximately 8,200 CY is provided. Assuming a bulk refuse density of 350 pounds per cubic yard, this volume can hold approximately 1440 tons of refuse, which exceeds the maximum daily permitted refuse receipt. The refuse throughput for the MRF is based on loading an average of 20 trailers per day. Each transfer trailer holds approximately 22 tons of waste. Therefore, the number of transfer trucks per day multiplied by 22 equals a standard throughput of 440 tpd for the refuse MRF operation. The maximum refuse throughput for the MRF is based on loading 32 trailers per day. Therefore, the maximum number of transfer trucks per day multiplied by 22 equals a maximum throughput of 704 tpd for the refuse MRF operation. All food waste will be processed and removed daily such that no food waste is stored onsite. Disposal of Solid Waste (Non-Recyclable Items) Non-recyclable solid waste is deposited in refuse transfer vehicles and transported to a disposal facility permitted to receive this material. This refuse is loaded into transfer trucks through the loading chute at the north end of the MRF using an articulated "clam-shell" loading arm. Refuse falls through the chute into a refuse transfer vehicle located under an opening in the floor above the transfer tunnel.
