1 • Installing a new roof canopy over the enlarged tipping area to prevent precipitation from contacting tipped refuse Figure 5 illustrates the configuration of the proposed modifications to the transfer station. As shown on the figure, the tipping area would be expanded to the north and would utilize space currently used for miscellaneous storage and maintenance work. Operations at the expanded transfer station would be conducted simi- larly to those of the current operation. Refuse would be tipped on the floor in a dedicated area of the transfer station. A wheel loader would then be used to consolidate the waste and load it into the hopper of the Heil HTP 1000 stationary compactor. The compactor would compact the waste into a waiting enclosed compactor trailer for transport to the appropriate disposal site. The Heil HTP 1000 compactor and enclosed compactor transfer trailers are being relocated to the Stockton Scavenger Transfer Station from a related operation in northern California. The capacity of the new compactor is rated by the manufacturer at approximately 1,000 cubic yards of incoming waste per hour. Since total waste flow at the facility is estimated to be only 1,500 cubic yards per day, the new equipment will have more than adequate capacity to handle the in- creased waste flow. The existing stationary compactor, which has a capacity of approximately 250 cubic yards per hour, will provide backup transfer capabilities if the new equipment unexpectedly breaks down. Installation of the new compaction equipment at the transfer station will not only increase the capacity of the station but will also reduce the number of outgoing transfer vehicles per unit cubic yard of incoming refuse. This will be accomplished by using compaction trailers with a volume of at least 65 cubic yards versus using the PJ1 1741802.00D 17 Emcon Associates
