Facility Boundaries The RRF/Compost Facility are situated in the southernmost portion of the Forward Landfill. The South Fork traverses the site in a southwesterly direction and the RRF/Compost Facility are south of the South Fork. The site is bounded by Austin Road to the east, agricultural land to the south, west, and north. Figure 3 delineates the property line for the site and is intended for planning purposes only. The 567-acre property is located in Section 3 of Township 1S, Range 7E, Mount Diablo Baseline and Meridian (MDB&M) and Section 34 of Township 1N, Range 7E MDB&M. The Assessor's Parcel Numbers (APN) for the entire property are 181-150-07, 181-150-08, 181-150-09, 181-150-10, 201-060-01, 201-060-02, 201-060-03, and 201-060-05. The Forward Landfill and RRF/Compost Facility are owned and operated by Forward, Inc., which is wholly-owned by Republic Services, Inc. (formerly Allied Waste Industries). There are no leased parcels at the site. Figure 3 identifies the parcel owned by Forward and land uses within one mile of the site boundary. 2.1.2 Design Details Include a schematic drawing of design details of the composting facility systems and processes. Include dimensions and composition of components. Describe processes to be used in including estimated quantities of feedstocks, additives, and amendments (14 CCR, Section 18227(x)). The design details should allow the facility to operate in conformance with Chapter 3.1 of the California Code of Regulations. Design detail drawings are attached as Figures 4 through 9. Calculations supporting these design details are included in Appendix A. A number of composting processes may be utilized at the Forward Compost Facility. The specific composting process to be used will depend on the specific feedstocks to be processed and the experience gained in developing compost mixtures. The intent is to use the least complex and costly process that is found suitable for the feedstocks to be composted. The decision to construct a specific process will be based on economics. Design Parameters. The composting processes described later in this section all will be developed assuming that composting mixtures are developed for optimum composting and minimum odor generation. The parameters to be used are as follows: • Moisture content- approximately 50 to 60 percent • C:N ratio - greater than approximately 25:1 • Density- less than approximately 1,000 pounds per cubic yard • Porosity structure - as necessary to maintain aerobic conditions 40 Forward Composting Facility RCSI 7/20/09;Page 10 SWT Engineering
