DRAFT C. CURRENT OPERATIONS Current operations are similar to those described in the previous EIR(EIR 5-88), although the quantity of waste currently handled is approximately 1.5 TPD(or 40 tons per month), compared to approximately 12 TPD analyzed in the 1989 report. No materials are currently being recovered at the facility. The transfer station operates Monday through Saturday from 4:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Only Stockton Scavengers Association vehicles discharge waste at the site. The transfer station accepts only municipal solid waste. It does not accept or handle hazardous wastes, special wastes, liquid wastes or infectious wastes. The transfer station conducts load checks once a week under its existing load check program. D. PROPOSED TRANSFER STATION OPERATIONS OVERVIEW The project would allow Stockton Scavengers Transfer Station to receive up to 1000 TPD of non- hazardous commercial, industrial and residential municipal solid waste and recyclables, construction and demolition(C&D)debris, and public self-haul waste. In addition, the facility would accept and grind up to 150 TPD of green waste,the receipt of which would be in addition to the 1000 TPD proposed capacity for other types of accepted wastes. The transfer station would operate seven days a week,from 4 a.m. to 5 p.m.Monday through Saturday and from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Sunday. The transfer station would be open to self haul traffic during these times; operations on Sunday would be limited to receiving only public self haul waste. A random load check for hazardous waste, which is not accepted at the facility, would be conducted daily. INCOMING LOADS Processable and Non-processable Loads Figure 2.2 shows the site layout. As shown,incoming vehicles enter the site from Navy Drive, near the eastern boundary of the site. Full solid waste vehicles would enter via the left lane and be weighed at the inbound scale. Non-processable loads would be directed to the "non- processable"area of the tipping floor, while processable loads would be directed to the "processable"area. Materials recovery at the transfer station will focus on recovering inertsl and other materials collected in rolloff containers from commercial and industrial customers, new construction/remodeling contractors, and residential customers. Therefore, all incoming rolloff vehicles, as well as selected front end loader routes known to have a high percentage of recoverable materials, would be directed to the processable area. Front-loading or side-loading vehicles carrying source separated recyclables from residential and commercial recycling programs would also be directed to the processable area of the tipping floor. The other incoming trucks, front-end loaders with commercial and residential trash, would be directed to the non- processable area. The facility would receive approximately 100 loads per day in rolloff vehicles I Inert materials may include concrete,brick,wood,and soils.
