September 6 2 1977 LOVELACE TRANSFER STATION Site Specifications The site location is well defined in the Aerial Photo of the transfer station. The plan for the site is established as shown. The land uses are supplied on the Site Location Plan as well as the distances to the nearest structures. EngineerinZ Report The transfer station processes household waste delivered by the contract carriers in the adjacent cities. The remainder of the waste is primarily yard rubbish and discarded material brought by homeowners. We currently are processing in excess of 2 ,000 C.Y. each day. The composition of the waste stream is a mixture of paper, glass , metals , which include ferrous and non-ferrous metals , and miscel- laneous waste material. This transfer station does not receive hazardous wastes or any liquid waste for disposal. Liquid wastes would be delivered direct to a suitable landfill site. The hazardous wastes are transported to a Class I site outside San Joaquin County by the agency that has generated the hazardous waste. We do experience some peak loadings in the fall and spring of the year which appear to be composed of tree trimmings , garden clippings etc. The quantity of solid waste received at the transfer station for the Fiscal Year 76-77 totaled 720 ,972 C.Y. We can project our 10 year load will generate 1 ,008,000 C.Y. for the Fiscal Year 86-87. Station Operation The Lovelace Transfer Station is open from 7:00 A.M. to 5:00 P.M. , seven days a week. They are closed only 3 days of the year on Thanksgiving , Christmas and New Year' s Day. The sanitary facilities are shown on the site plan. There are two portable toilets in use. The existing well provides an adequate supply of water for the site. There are several water outlets located on the property.
