2.1 TRANSFER STATION ACTIVITIES The following sections describe the activities conducted at the CVWS from materials receiving to transfer of refuse off-site as required by 14 CCR, Section 18221.6 (d). 2.1.1 MATERIALS RECEIVING Refuse vehicles enter the site via gate 4. Each truck is weighed at the scale and directed to the tipping floor of the transfer station for unloading. Vehicles containing recyclables also enter at gate 4 and are weighed and are directed to unload at the appropriate recyclable tip area at or adjacent to the MRF. Refuse and recyclable materials vehicles are weighed again upon exit. Self haul vehicles enter the facility through gate 3 and occasionally gate 4 for scale weight. These vehicles are typically charged by the cubic yard and thus are not weighed unless directed due to volume and/or material. A conversion factor of unit weight per cubic yard is used in determining the total weight of self haul material received when not weighed. Vehicles containing rock, green and yard waste, agricultural materials, wood and brush and recyclables enter through gate 3 and/or 4 and unload in the appropriate area for each material, depending on the material and volume this may be within the transfer station or the wood/green waste storage areas. Transfer Station All incoming waste from commercial vehicles are unloaded inside the transfer station building at the south end. Self -haul vehicles are unloaded in the north end of the transfer station under and directly in front of the building within a fenced area. The unloading of waste within the building and fenced self -haul area affords adequate controls for windblown materials. The unloading areas are confined to an area necessary to conduct smooth operations and not hinder the ingress and egress of vehicles through the facility. Traffic spotters ensure that unloading operations are conducted at the appropriate area and are kept as confined as practicable.
