Project Description Tracy Material Recovery Facility and Transfer Station 30703 S. MacArthur Drive, TracX California 95377 Wood waste separated from the commercial and industrial waste stream — much of it as construction and demolition debris — is stored at the site. Once sufficient amounts have been accumulated to allow for economically-efficient processing, the wood is chipped/ground and transferred off site for use as biomass fuel for power generation. Over the years, the following operations have been incrementally added to encourage additional recycling activities on-site and to meet new state mandates on programs and landfill bans. Processing of cannery wastes Storage of glass in outdoor bunkers • Storage and processing of inert materials ! • Storage and processing of construction and demolition materials up to 175 TPD • Storage and processing of appliances Storage of universal wastes J a: • Storage of electronic wastes • Modifications of the yard waste composting area • Modifications of the wood waste processing area • Building Addition for storage and baling of source-separated fibers L/ • Review of drainage facilities Enhanced Diversion Plan The proposed project is to expand the MRF/TS to accommodate the 20 year I growth of the City of Tracy and the surrounding communities. The City of Tracy has adopted an enhanced 2005 Diversion Plan requesting additional recycling services to be conducted at the MRF/TS. The City of Tracy, like most cities throughout California, is mandated by the Integrated Waste Management Act of 1989, found in California Public Resources Code sections 40000 et seq. (the Act), to prepare plans for achieving a minimum fifty percent diversion goal. The City's diversion goal has been met, and is at sixty percent (60%) as of the 2003 records. The City prepared a Source Reduction and Recycling Element (SRRE), which was approved by the City Council in 1994 (Resolution No. 94-411) and by the CIWMB in 1995. The SRRE presented a "plan" which identified numerous programs selected by the City to achieve the fifty percent goal. The CIWMB assesses the City's compliance with the Act annually, based upon implementation of the programs identified in the SRRE. i The City reports to the CIWMB annually on its compliance progress, and the City's diversion rate is recorded as sixty percent. This level of performance was primarily achieved through the implementation of the following programs performed at the Tracy MRF/TS.: 170.18 CUP Project Des 121907 Es-3
