In April 1995, the site will begin receiving waste from the Tracy <br /> Materials Recovery and Transfer Facility (TMRTF) located south of <br /> the City of Tracy on MacArthur Drive. A relational map showing the <br /> Foothill Sanitary Landfill, the LTS, and the TMRTF is depicted in <br /> Figure 3 . The TMRTF will begin transfer operations to the site in <br /> April 1995 upon closure of the Corral Hollow Sanitary Landfill. <br /> This additional waste will increase the Foothill Sanitary <br /> Landfill's average daily waste flow. If current waste quantities <br /> continue, the daily average will increase from 450 to approximately <br /> 1000 tons per operating day, and the site's peak daily load of 720 <br /> tons per operating day will increase to 1500 tons per operating <br /> day. <br /> Once operational, the TMRTF will account for approximately 30% of <br /> the Foothill site's waste stream. The LTS will then account for <br /> approximately 60% of the site's waste stream. The remaining 10% <br /> will consist of public self-haul and construction/demolition waste. <br /> The average load capacity the site will receive on a yearly basis <br /> projected over the next five years is shown below on Table 1. <br /> The average load capacity is approximately 67% of the peak capacity. <br /> TABLE 1 <br /> AVERAGE PROJECTED ANNUAL WASTE QUANTITIES <br /> YEAR TONNAGE <br /> 1995 242, 000 <br /> 1996 254, 000 <br /> 1997 267, 000 <br /> 1998 280, 000 <br /> 1999 294, 000 <br /> Table 2 lists the various types of waste received and their <br /> respective portion of the waste stream expressed in percent. This <br /> data was taken from the County's most recent waste characterization <br /> study. <br /> The waste coming from the LTS is already weighed and recorded, as <br /> Will also be true for the waste coming from the TMRTF, so the <br /> transfer trucks proceed directly to the working face. <br /> The quantity of self-haul incoming waste is estimated in cubic <br /> yards by the gatehouse attendant. Commercial vehicles are weighed <br /> at the gatehouse. All vehicles except those containing recyclables, <br /> are directed to the working face. Any vehicle containing <br /> recyclables is directed to the appropriate area for drop off of <br /> recyclables. The access road is paved for easy access during <br /> inclement weather. <br /> Potable water is readily available from the on-site well. The well <br /> provides water for the residence on-site, and for fire and dust <br /> control. Washing facilities are available at the residence and at <br /> 4 <br />
