2.1.3 INCOMING MATERIALS STORAGE <br /> The operating procedure is to remove residual waste as it is received. However, any waste <br /> material that is collected outside of the facility's operating hours is stored on the Transfer Station <br /> floor until it can be loaded into transfer truck trailers for shipment to the landfill the following <br /> work day. Based on the peak inflow rate of 1,320 tpd, and a bulk density of refuse on the tip floor <br /> of 350 pounds/cubic yard, 8,500 cubic yards of storage capacity is needed for each working day. <br /> The storage area within the transfer building is 55,575 square feet and able to accommodate 350 <br /> pounds per cubic yard or 8,800 CY of waste at the maximum inflow rate. This storage capacity is <br /> also sufficient to handle periods during the operating day when the rate of incoming tons per hour <br /> exceeds the rate of outgoing tons per hour including activities associated with sorting, processing, <br /> and removal of wastes and/or recyclables. Incoming waste is not stored at the facility for longer <br /> than 48 hours. <br /> 2.1.4 LOADING OUTGOING TRANSFER VEHICLES <br /> Transfer trucks enter the site and proceed to the ramp at the rear of the transfer building. The <br /> truck/transfer trailers go down the ramp which leads into the loading chute located at the back of <br /> the transfer building floor (See Figure 4). The transfer trucks are loaded with municipal solid <br /> waste through the openings in the floor (or pit) of the transfer building. Waste is distributed <br /> within the trailer according to gross weight limitations. Weighing is performed on a platform <br /> scale at the bottom of the transfer pit. Once the trailer is loaded it,pulls out of the tunnel and exits <br /> the facility via the gate (See Figure 2). <br /> 2.2 HOURS OF OPERATION <br /> Facility operating hours are summarized on Table 1. <br /> Table 1 <br /> Lovelace Material Recovery Facility and Transfer Station <br /> Operating Hours <br /> FACILITY OPERATING DAYS OPERATING HOURS <br /> Transfer Station Monday—Friday 7:00 a.m. —5:00 p.m. <br /> Saturday/Sunday 7:00 a.m. —5:00 p.m. <br /> MRF Monday—Friday 7:00 a.m. —5:00 p.m. <br /> Sat urday/Sunday 7:00 a.m. —5:00 p.m. <br /> Public Drop-Off and Monday-Friday 7:00 a.m.—5:00 p.m. <br /> Administration <br /> Saturda 7:00 a.m. —5:00 p.m. <br /> Gates Monday—Friday 7:00 a.m. —5:00 p.m. <br /> Saturday- Sunday 7:00 a.m. —5:00 p.m. <br /> Lovelace MRF and Transfer Station Department of Public Works/Solid Waste Division <br /> Transfer Processing Report 10 County of San Joaquin-Revised 7/26/05 <br />
