Facility Capacity Study Tracy Material Recovery Facility and Transfer Station Expansion 30703 S. MacArthur Drive, Tracy, California 95377 As an emergency should the capacity be exhausted, Tracy Delta Disposal could direct haul to the County Landfill. Material Recovery Facility: The Material Recovery Facility is housed in another portion of the enclosed building. There is a processing system used for both commingled residential recyclables and commingled commercial recyclables which has a design capacity of 480 TPD, and a requested permitted amount of 480 TPD. Belt Capacity— Design 480 TPD The sorting system can handle a maximum of 20 tons per hour over the processing equipment. Operating at full capacity over a 24-hour day up to 480 tons of recyclables may be processed on the sort line. Baling Operation— Design 480 TPD The baler is capable of baling 20 tons per hour. Baling can occur 24 hours per day with a design capacity of 480 tons per day. Floor Space Capacity— 4,000 CYD The MRF Floor Space will be expanded with the addition to the MRF Building. Sheet Al provides the MRF Floor Plan and locations of the stockpiles. The stockpile capacity of the MRF Floor space for mixed recyclables allows 1,000 CYD of residential and 945 cubic yards of commercial mixed recyclables. Source-separated cardboard and paper can be stockpiled up to 1,920 cubic yards. Adequate storage capacity of almost 4,000 CYD is available for a peak day of 480 TPD which would only require up to 3,000 CYD. The stockpiles are 8 feet high, and separated, while leaving adequate tipping area and access for vehicles to tip indoors, and the ability of the front end loader to push material onto the feed conveyor. C&D Processing Facility C&D Processing Facility- 820 TPD Floor sorting capacity on the tipping pad of debris boxes loads and roll-off bins can vary among the many different types of material. With small front-end loaders and 10 to 12 full-time sorters, 500 TPD could easily be handled to separate wood wastes, metal, inerts, and the residuals. With the installation of the mechanical sort line, the design capacity increases to 820 TPD, with up to 500 TPD of mixed C&D debris and 320 TPD of source-separated wood waste, as described fully in the CDI Facility Report. The facility is proposed to handle up to 500 TPD of mixed C&D debris. Mixed C&D ® debris varies in consistency. Tracy plans to recycle the Type A inerts, wood, metal, cardboard, plastics (including film plastics), carpet padding, carpet, dry-wall, and C&D 4
