Transfer/Processing Report Tracy Material Recovery and Transfer Facility 30703 5. MacArthur Drive, Tracy, California 95377 carrying municipal solid wastes are directed to the Transfer Station tipping area where a spotter directs them to dump their wastes. Transfer trucks hauling solid waste to be transferred off-site enter under the loading bays (located at the southeast corner of the MRF/TS building) via a ramp beginning at the west side of the site and proceeding along the south side of the building. The trucks then exit from the loading bay via a ramp located to the east of the MRF/TS building and directly onto the main access road, proceeding across the outbound scale(s) and exiting onto South Macarthur Drive through the main gate. Trucks carrying solid waste will be weighed and tipped onto the floor of the Transfer Station by commercial vehicles and self -haul vehicles. There will be signage and a spotter within the Transfer Station to direct traffic safely. Limited manual floor sorting will occur pulling out bulky wood and loads of cardboard. Wheel loaders operating in the building push the municipal solid waste into waiting transfer trailer in the loading bay below on the west side of the building. Trucks carrying green material, construction and demolition wastes, and inert debris are weighed at the truck scale(s) shown on the site plan. The green material is directed to the Compost Facility Tipping Pad to dump the load, and the C&D wastes and inert debris are directed to the C&D Operations Area and Inert Operations Area, respectively, to dump their wastes. 1911h, Visual Screening The driveway and entrance areas to the facility are the only ground level areas visible to passersby.
