shredded. Since incoming sewage sludge is not anticipated to have heavy metal concentra- <br /> tions above regulatory limits, other preprocessing procedures will not be necessary. <br /> d. Process Time <br /> Estimate the average process time to convert waste materials to compost, <br /> including volume of compost to be shipped out (daily, weekly, or monthly). <br /> Describe the maximum and average length of time green material will be stored <br /> at the facility X14 CCR 18220(e)J. <br /> As discussed in the section on Maximum Daily Load Capacity, the compost facility is <br /> designed to process up to 640 to 1,100 TPD of waste. The specific capacity depends on <br /> the composting process being used, density of materials, and the quality of compost <br /> product. The compost process time is projected to be between 4 to 12 weeks, depending <br /> on the compost product quality. The curing process will take from 1 to 6 months. <br /> e. Chemical or Bulking Agents <br /> List any chemical additives or building agents and the estimated amount to be <br /> used for finishing the composting process. Describe the application method. <br /> Chipped green waste or screened oversize materials will be used as necessary as a bulking <br /> agents. <br /> 3. Climactic Conditions <br /> If climatic conditions such as frost, snow or wet weather are likely to adversely <br /> affect site access or the operation of aerating Windrows or static piles, outline <br /> measures to overcome these effects. <br /> Climatic conditions are not expected to adversely affect site operations. It does not snow <br /> or freeze at the site. Forward implements a winterization program each year to install all- <br /> weather roads for access. <br /> The climate of the region is typical of the California Central Valley. Winters are generally <br /> cold and wet with fog, while summers are hot and dry. <br /> ! Climatological data used in the site design was gathered from representative weather sta- <br /> tions near the site. Representative climatologic stations were selected based on their prox- <br /> imity to the site and reliable period of records for the station (30 years or more). <br /> w&10029B5C.wp5/63 <br /> 9/29/94 63 <br />
