3. LANDFILL The Composting Facility is not located on an existing or closed landfill. C. QUANTITY OF WASTES TO BE ACC 1. MATERIAL QUANTITIES The general categories of yard and wood waste anticipated to be received at the Composting Facility include residential collection from a curbside collection program, commercial/industrial wood and demolition debris and self-haul. These wastes are currently accepted at the Corral Hollow Landfill and it is assumed similar materials will be processed by this facility. A Waste Quantity Projection Analysis was done for the Tracy Planning Area (T?A)to determine the quantity and composition of solid waste and define waste handling requirements for the facility. Information utilized to develop waste quantity projections included the City of Tracy and San Joaquin County Source Reduction and Recycling Elements (S 's), 1990 census data and discussions with City and County public works and planning departments. Population and growth estimates for the TPA were based on 1990 census data and projection regarding future community developments and anticipated population growth for the City of Tracy and adjacent unincorporated areas. Waste quantities were projected based on total waste disposed of in 1990, estimated per capita waste disposal rates, and population projections. Waste quantities disposed of in 1990 were obtained from records furnished by the San Joaquin County Department of Public Works who currently operate the Corral Hollow Landfill and records incoming waste by volumetric estimates. Volumetric conversion to tons is based on the County conversion factor of 0.1838 tons per cubic yard which was derived from volume and weight measures from other County facilities (Loveless Transfer Station). For the Composting Facility, the total annual amount of mixed yard and wood wastes in tons were projected as follows: UPROJECT139rYURPRO-4.TCY December 15, 1993 5
