two feet in height. The diked area would be designed to provide secondary containment for 150 percent of the capacity of the largest oil storage tank plus the water from 24 hours of a 100-year storm. Subse- quently, the waste oil recovery area will also be protected from rising water levels due to a 100-year flood. Concrete trenchwork would be located at the edge of the diked area to collect any spills (including rainwater) . A sump pump would be available to pump any spill material to a wastewater storage tank for proper handling. This tank would be located in the southeastern corner of the tank area. The biomass storage area would have piles of agricultural biomass (i .e. , orchard prunings, field crops) . The perimeters of the area would be protected by fire hydrants equipped with hoses and nozzles, located at no more than 250-foot intervals. Piles would be segmented to allow access for fire control . Biomass piles would be located in the north- eastern portion of the site (see Figure 2.3) . Operational Characteristics The proposed briquetting/pelletizing facility would operate 24 hours per day, seven days per week, approximately 43 weeks per year. The waste oil recovery facility would operate 12 hours per day, seven days per week, approximately 43 weeks per year (Falcon Energy Associates 1987) . The two major components of operations include the briquetting/pelletizing system and the waste oil recovery system. A summary of characteristics of these two systems is contained below. More detailed information is provided at the end of this summary. Briguetting/Pel7etizing System • Design capacity of 30 tons per hour of product (216,720 tons annually) , with a startup phase (one to two years) of 15 tons per hour (108,360 tons per year) . • Transportation would include collection of agricultural biomass from field sources and transportation of briquettes/pellets to biomass power facilities or feed lots. 2-7 101-46.R5 4/13/89
