3-11 <br />three agriculturetwo on site produot ion wells , as well as one domestic well.~_ One agriculture <br />well. located near the main entrance facility was drilled to a depth of approximately 135 feet <br />and groundwater occurs at a depth of approximately 70 feet. The well was likely installed <br />before the opening of the landfill . having been previously used for agricultural purposes. It <br />is pumped at a rate of approximately 1500 gallons per minute (gp m) at a maximum <br />frequency of approximately 27 times in a typical work day. Another well is located south of <br />the South Fork of South Little john's Creek . in the southeast corner of the RRF /Compost <br />Facility area . and has a capacity of 500 gpm. The third well is located along the northern <br />boundary of the former Austin Road Landfill. This well was installed in 1972 and has a <br />production of approximately 60 gpm. The fact that groundwater flow near the existing <br />Forward Landfill is not modified by pumping from this well suggests that it is screened in a <br />confined unit below the uppermost groundwater units that are monitored at the site. The <br />domestic well is located along the eastern bounda ry of the site. just south of the entrance to <br />the RRF /Compost Facility. The locations of the wells located in the RRF /Compost Facility <br />area is shown on Figure 2.a 1 ,000 gpm well near the landfill entrance faci lities and a 20 <br />gpm we ll near the RRF bu ilding. An app roximate 8,000 gal lon water tanl< will be located in <br />the South Area near the Compost Facility operations area. <br />Water uses include site construction and waste disposal operations, RRF/Compost Facility <br />operations, dust control, equipment maintenance operations, sanitary facilities, fire fighting, <br />and emergency situations. <br />c. Preprocessing Procedures <br />Oeser/be any preprocessing procedures (biorooctors, etc.) used to lower a~(ailability of heaW <br />metals in compost. <br />Preprocessing will include inspecting the incoming material to remove any visible <br />contaminants. Loads will be visually inspected in the material sorting area at the <br />RRF/Compost Facility (see Figure 2 ). and wi ll be manua ll y sorted once they are <br />unloadeddumped at the receiving and processing area. A magnetic separator is usedw ill be <br />prov ided to extract nails and other ferrous contaminants from the green waste material after <br />it has been shredded. Since incoming biosolids are not anticipated to have heavy metal <br />concentrations above regulatory limits, other preprocessing procedures will not be <br />necessary. <br />d.

The specific capacity <br />depends on the composting process being used, density of materials, and the quality of <br />compost product. The compost process time is projeoted to be between approximately 4 to <br />12 weeks, depending on the compost product quality.
