Project Description <br /> Tracy Material Recovery Facility and Transfer Station Expansion <br /> 30703 S. MacArthur Drive, Tracy, California 95377 <br /> ,%✓ The Material Recovery Facility processes recyclables from commercial sources. Select <br /> commingled recyclables deliveries containing loads of recyclable material that may vary <br /> from 50% to 90% recyclable will be dumped in Material Recovery Facility. Material that <br /> will be recycled includes aluminum cans, ferrous metals, plastic, newspaper and <br /> magazines, plastic, paper, cardboard and glass. The separated material will then be <br /> baled and delivered to wholesalers. Material will be added or deleted from the <br /> recyclable stream as the market conditions dictate. <br /> Wheel loaders operating in the Material Recovery Facility push the unprocessed <br /> recyclables into the feed hopper of the sorting system. From the feed hopper, material <br /> will be conveyed to the sorting line. Newspaper, cardboard, glass, aluminum, ferrous, <br /> and plastic containers will be sorted and dropped into bays under the sorting conveyer. <br /> Materials to be baled will be pushed onto a conveyor belt feeding into the baler or be <br /> pushed directly to the baler as appropriate. Glass materials will be dropped into bins for <br /> transport to the recycle market. Full bins will be carried by forklift outside of the building <br /> for temporary covered storage along the west side of the MRF/TS; building. <br /> Residual wastes that can not be recycled will stay on the sorting line where another <br /> conveyor belt will drop the residuals on the Transfer Station floor for transfer and <br /> disposal. <br /> The primary Material Recovery Facility stationary equipment will consist of: <br /> �✓ 0 In-ground and elevated conveyor belts <br /> • Screens <br /> • 80 foot Elevated Sort Line <br /> • Baler <br /> Composting Facility <br /> A detailed project description of the composting process is presented in Section 11 of this <br /> document. <br /> Construction and Demo]itionllnert Debris Processing Operations: <br /> A detailed CDI project description is provided in Section III of this document.
