Vehicles used in this scenario are shown hereunder: <br /> Public (mostly autos, light trucks) 500 <br /> Refuse and other medium size trucks 1,350 <br /> Heavy trucks hauling recycled materials 112.5 <br /> Heavy trucks hauling refuse to landfills 112.5 <br /> The estimated daily output of pollutants from the above fleet of vehicles in the year 2000 in <br /> pounds per day is estimated at: <br /> TOG 103 <br /> ROG 94 <br /> CO 814 <br /> NOx 296 <br /> PM10 283 <br /> Sox 24 <br /> Upon expansion, the transfer station would operate 24 hours per day, seven days a week except <br /> for holidays. In this case, the estimated emissions from on-site vehicles and equipment in <br /> pounds per day are: <br /> TOG 277 <br /> ROG 254 <br /> CO 1,126 <br /> NOx 685 <br /> All particulates 271 <br /> sox 88 <br /> As indicated in the above calculations, the increased period of operation of the transfer station <br /> due to the expansion project results in increased off-site vehicle and increased on-site vehicle and <br /> equipment emissions. The total emissions are as follows: <br /> TOG 380 <br /> ROG 348 <br /> CO 1,940 <br /> NOx 981 <br /> All particulates 554 <br /> Sox 112 <br /> Altemavtive: No Project <br /> If the expansion of the transfer station were not to take place, the alternative would be to haul <br /> the waste directly to the Kiefer Road and Harney Lane landfills for recycling (50 percent) and <br /> disposal (50 percent). This would result in significantly longer trip lengths for public vehicles, <br /> refuse and other trucks. <br /> 22 <br />
