• <br />The compactor is then used to compact the refuse into a closed 40 - <br />cubic -yard roll -off container which, when full, is transferred to an <br />appropriate county or city landfill. <br />3.1.1 Waste Stream Characteristics <br />As previously mentioned, the Stockton Scavenger Transfer Station cur- <br />rently receives waste delivered by its own roll -off and commercial <br />packer collection vehicles. The source of refuse directed to the <br />transfer station is primarily from Stockton Scavenger Association <br />commercial and industrial accounts. <br />The composition of material delivered to the transfer station is pre- <br />dominately waste paper. However, materials such as corrugated card- <br />board, plastic, metals, construction debris, and wood are also typi- <br />cally present. <br />The quantity of waste delivered to and transferred from the transfer <br />station is recorded daily. Analysis of data accumulated from February <br />through December 1987 (the transfer station was closed during January) <br />indicates that the average daily volume of material delivered to the <br />facility was 60.7 cubic yards per day. This average quantity was <br />calculated by dividing the cumulative volume of each roll -off contain- <br />er delivered to the transfer station during the 11 -month period by the <br />number of days in which deliveri6s were made. Table 1 summarizes the <br />monthly waste flow data for 1987. Daily tabulations are presented in <br />Appendix B. Assuming a density range of 350 to 450 pounds per cubic <br />yard, the average waste quantity is estimated to be 10.8 to 13.9 tons <br />per day (for each day deliveries were made). <br />Title 14 of the CAC classifies transfer stations into two categories: <br />Small Volume Stations and Large Volume Stations. Small Volume Sta- <br />tions are defined as facilities which receive a daily average of <br />100 cubic yards or less of solid waste. <br />PJl 1741802.00D 11 <br />EfY1Con Associates <br />
