trailers for shipment to the landfill the following work day. Based on the <br /> maximum inflow rate of 1,700 tpd and a bulk density of refuse on the tip floor <br /> of 400 pounds/cubic yard, 8,500 cubic yards of storage capacity is needed for <br /> each working day. The station has the capacity to store 1,700 tons of waste <br /> per day. The storage area within the transfer building is approximately <br /> 17,500 square feet which will accommodate 8,500 cubic yards of waste at the <br /> maximum inflow rate. This storage capacity is also sufficient to handle <br /> periods during the operating day when the rate of incoming tons per hour <br /> exceeds the rate of outgoing tons per hour including activities associated with <br /> sorting, processing and removal of wastes and/or recyclables. Incoming <br /> waste is not stored at the facility for longer than 48 hours. Processed wood <br /> chips will be stored no longer than 6 months from date of receipt. <br /> 2.1.4 LOADING TRANSFER VEHICLES <br /> Transfer trucks enter the site through gate 3 or 4 and proceed to the ramp at <br /> the rear of the transfer building. The truck/transfer trailers back down the <br /> ramp which leads into the pit located at the back of the transfer building floor <br /> (see Figure 5). The transfer trucks are loaded with municipal solid waste <br /> through the openings in the floor (or pit) of the transfer building. Waste is <br /> distributed within the trailer according to gross weight limitations. Weighing is <br /> performed after loading is complete using the scales at the pate prior to <br /> exiting the #a6ltl+tyfacility. <br /> Once the trailer is loaded it pulls out of the tunnel and exits the facility via gate <br /> 4 (see Figure 2). <br /> 2.2 HOURS OF OPERATION <br /> Facility operating hours are summarized on Table 1. <br /> Table 1 <br /> Central Valley Waste Services MRF/TS <br /> Operating Hours <br /> Facility Operating Days Permitted Hours Operating Hours <br /> Transfer Station Monday— Friday 24 hrs/day 79.00a.m. — 5:00 p.m. <br /> Saturday 24 hrs/daV 8:00a.m. — 35:00 p.m. <br /> Sunday 7.00am-5:00pm Closed <br /> Central Valley Waste Services-P, JS- 2-3 <br /> Transfer(Processing Report <br /> Section 2-,34 4-34/24/17 <br />
