u L 0 0 3.2 PROPOSED TRANSFER STATION OPERATIONS The proposed increase in waste handling capabilities at the transfer station would allow the Stockton Scavenger Association to potentially divert all its roll -off container and commercial packer loads to the transfer station for compaction and transport to the appropriate county or city disposal site. A set of scales will be installed at the Corporation Yard site to ensure that proportionate tonnages of material are transferred to applicable county or city disposal sites. To accommodate the increased requirements for storage area, tipping area, and compaction capability associated with increased waste flow to the site, several modifications of the station's facilities have been proposed. These proposed changes are described in following sections. 3.2.1 Characteristics of Increased Waste Stream As described above, the waste received at the transfer station would be delivered exclusively by Stockton Scavenger Association's vehicles. Approximately 60 roll -off containers from Stockton Scavenger Associa- tion's commercial and industrial accounts would be delivered to the site each day. Additionally, approximately 10 to 20 front -loader collection vehicles hauling commercial and industrial refuse would be directed to the transfer station daily. The quantity of refuse delivered by these vehicles would be approximately 1,500 cubic yards (an estimated 240 to 300 tons) per day. Composition of the refuse received at the transfer station is expected to be substantially the same as that in present operations, i.e., waste paper, corrugated cardboard, plastic, metals, wood, and some construction debris. However, because of the greater quantity of refuse received and greater number of vehicles using the facility, food wastes from restaurants, businesses, and recreational facilities may be present in the expanded waste stream.
