STANDARD OPERATING PROCEDURE <br /> CONTROL OF ODORS <br /> TRACY MATERIALS RECOVERY AND TRANSFER FACILITY <br /> Introduction <br /> This Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) for odor control has been prepared for the proposed <br /> Tracy Materials Recovery and Transfer Facility, which will be owned and operated by Tracy <br /> Material Recovery and Solid Waste Transfer, Inc., of Tracy, California. This SOP is required <br /> under Mitigation Measure 4.7-4 in the Final Environmental Impact Report for the project, <br /> prepared in December 1993 by the San Joaquin County Community Development Department. <br /> This SOP addresses the reduction of the generation and emission of odors from the transfer <br /> station. <br /> Project Desgription <br /> The facility will be located at the site of a former gravel pit on MacArthur Drive, south of Linne <br /> Road, in the City of Tracy. Surrounding land uses generally consist of agriculture and active <br /> gravel quarrying operations. Two mobile home residences are located about 600 feet north of <br /> the site. The nearest residential subdivision is located about one mile to the north. <br /> The facility will collect non-hazardous solid waste from the Tracy area. Recyclable materials <br /> will be sorted and processed with residual wastes transferred to large capacity trailers for landfill <br /> disposal. The facility is designed to handle an average of 800 tons per day, with a peak inflow <br /> of 1,000 tons per day. <br /> Potential sources of odor at the facility include: <br /> 1. Unloading, sorting, and processing operations. <br /> 2. Transport of residual waste to and from the facility. <br /> 3. Storage of residual waste before transfer. <br /> L_"0JECr%WMRMLkPPJ J-1 <br />
