Odor Control Measures <br /> Odor generation is dependent on air temperature, organic content of the refuse, the storage time, <br /> and the level of cleanliness of the facility and equipment. Unloading, sorting, and processing <br /> activities will take place entirely within the enclosed transfer building, thus limiting odor <br /> emissions to the atmosphere. The tipping area and transfer trailers will be cleaned daily. <br /> Transfer trailers will also be periodically steam cleaned. <br /> Besides the above activities, the primary method of odor control will be the limiting of the <br /> storage time of residual waste. Storage of residual waste will be in accordance with the <br /> following standard procedures: <br /> 1. Using two 20-ton trailer trucks at the two loading bays, residual wastes can be loaded <br /> for removal to a landfill at a maximum rate of 160 tons per hour. At this rate, only 2.5 <br /> hours of loading is required to remove the entire projected load of 400 tons per day of <br /> residual waste. Since incoming refuse will arrive from 4:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. and <br /> loading operations end at 4:00 p.m., some incoming waste may need to be stored <br /> overnight. Outgoing waste will be loaded as needed during the day so that little or no <br /> waste remains as of 4:00 p.m. Waste received after 4:00 p.m. will be stored overnight <br /> and loaded onto the first available trailer the next morning. The majority of waste is <br /> received before 2:00 p.m. with only self-haul waste generally received between 2:00 <br /> p.m. and 4:00 p.m. which is minimal. <br /> 2. Occasional peak incoming loads may result in a greater amount of refuse at the facility <br /> than can be loaded and removed at the normal operating rate. In cool weather, and/or <br /> when there is no complaints of odor or indications of significant odors in the incoming <br /> refuse, the additional refuse will be stored in the building for no longer than 48 hours. <br /> Additional trailers or loading equipment will be put into service as needed to make sure <br /> the refuse is not stored for longer than 48 hours. <br /> 3. In the event of odor complaints, very warm weather, or signs of significant odors in the <br /> incoming refuse, the Facilities Manager will assess the situation and do the following: <br /> a. Add odor control agents to the misting system for the trailer loading operations. <br /> L\M0JECr%39MRFW1A"J J-2 <br />
