Currently, it is thought <br />that the average load capacity will be less than the maximum throughput of 1,100 t pd+P9 . <br />It should be noted that the annual operation capacity is estimated to range from 332,000 to <br />572,000 cubic yards (14 CCR, Section 18227(h)). <br />1.3.4 Design Capacity <br />Pro~(ide an est/mate of the design capacity of the facility expressed in tons.

The specific capacity depends on the composting <br />process being used, density of materials and quality of the composted product. The facility <br />was designed to have sufficient area for receiving, preprocessing, com posti ng, curing, and <br />storing these incoming materials as well as residue. Detailed design calculations are <br />included in Appendix 6.A . <br />1.3.5 Feedstock Material Types <br />Descriptions of the types of materials accepted or p,cc)posed for acceptance shof:1-ld be <br />pro~l/ded. <br />The feedstock materials may include . but not be limited to green material, green material <br />mixed with food waste , food proeessing residue, food waste (including garbage ). food <br />processing residuegarbage , sewage sludge . biosolids, mixed solid waste , manure. mixed <br />paper . ash, grit/grease (animal based ), holding tank pumpings. canne ry rinse water. and <br />mixed solid agricultural waste, as described in 14 CCR, Section 17852. All incoming <br />feedstock will be spread out for manual screening in the manual screening area (see Figure <br />2 ) before being stockpiled. Composition of the material iswil l be dependent on the source <br />of the feedstock and time of year. Biosolids may be raw, aerobically digested, or <br />anaerobically digested and will be dewatered to 15 to 50 percent dry solids.
