Construction &Demolition/Inert Debris Facility Report Tracy Material Recovery Facility and Transfer Station 30703 S. MacArthur Drive, Tracy, Califomia 95377 projects. Stockpiles of inert materials do not exceed 25 feet in height. Dust from materials handling is controlled with water spray from handheld hoses. On an average day, the operation would generate 30 loaded inbound trucks per day and 6 loaded outbound trucks. The operation will generate a peak amount of 40 loaded inbound trucks per day and 80 loaded outbound truck trips per day up to 5 days per month. Reject materials (e.g. residual contaminants and unmarketable materials consisting of less than 1% of the clean inert debris) removed from the processing area are loaded into debris boxes for transport to an offsite disposal facility or the metal is recycled at a processing facility. Phase 1 and 2: C&D Operations Expansion Inert (Type A) recycling activities will continue as described above. Mixed C&D materials, up to 200 tons per day will be accepted and processed, as described below, increasing to a peak of 400 TPD in Phase 2. Total peak tonnage of mixed C&D materials at the Tracy MRF & TS will average 400 TPD. Materials are delivered to the facility in debris box trucks and commercial vehicles. Vehicles are weighed at the facility entrance both upon entering and exiting the facility. Trucks and debris boxes containing CD debris are dumped in the C&D Processing Area, which is clearly signed and demarked. The main components of CD recycling are inerts, metals, and wood. The residual waste debris shall not exceed 40% by weight, thus recycling a minimum of 60%. During Phase 1, the C&D material will be placed in the tipping area of the C&D Processing Area; up to 200 TPD will be manually sorted with assistance of front- end loaders, or other equipment, to handle the sorted piles and to load-out the recovered material into transfer vehicles. Eventually; during Phase 2, a mechanical C&D processing line will be installed to process the mixed C&D more efficiently and with greater capacity up to 400 TPD, as shown on Figure 3. C&D debris requiring little or no processing may be separated by a small front- end loader and placed in individual debris boxes or stockpiled by commodity (i.e., metals, wood waste, bulky residuals). Large or bulky materials may be handled with a grappler and stockpiled or deposited in the appropriate debris boxes. The inerts are collected and regularly taken to the inert operations area. Up to 15 tons per hour could be pre-sorted prior to placing the remaining mixed C&D on the Processing Line capable of 30 tons per hour. The remaining C&D debris will be sorted on a customized, mechanical pick line, designed by Krause Manufacturing (Figure 4). Materials will be loaded onto a feed conveyor with a front-end loader. As the C&D debris proceeds along the ® conveyor, large or bulky materials (wood, metal, plastics) are manually pre- sorted and placed in appropriate debris boxes located below the sorting platform. 4 170.18 CDI FacReport 05081313
