Carol Oz <br /> May 31, 1995 <br /> Page 2 <br /> Response <br /> Since approximately 90 percent of the waste will be coming from <br /> the Lovelace Transfer Station and the Tracy Materials Recovery <br /> Facility and Transfer Station, recyclables will have already been <br /> pulled from the waste stream. Only the remaining 10 percent of <br /> incoming waste will be sorted for recyclables. If the site <br /> initially receives an average of 1,000 tons/day, approximately <br /> 100 tons/day will need to be sorted for recyclables. Assuming a <br /> diversion rate of approximately 5 percent, it is estimated that <br /> about 5 tons/day of recyclables will be separated. Therefore, <br /> one 40 yard roll-off truck/day (2 trip ends/day) will be more <br /> than sufficient, initially. However, the number of recycling <br /> trucks is dependent upon population and waste quantity increases., <br /> so more than one truck/day may be necessary in the future. <br /> Comment 3 <br /> Will the recycling area be open to the public? <br /> Response <br /> The recycling area will not be open to the public. If pre-sorted <br /> loads of recyclables enter the site, the loads will be dumped on <br /> a recycling pad and transported to the recycling area by landfill <br /> personnel . Only landfill personnel will work in the recycling <br /> area. <br /> If you have any further questions regarding the subject project, <br /> please call me at Extension 83066. <br /> GK:WJ:Vi <br /> R:IV1RG1N1A�KEMOSJFH-QUANT.CO <br /> LA 31104 <br />
