1-7 1.3.3 Average Load Capacity Next Five Years The projected average annual load will be market-driven and depends on the availability of feedstock for the composting operation and for use of the product. Currently, it is thought that the average load capacity will be less than the maximum throughput of 1,100 tpd. It should be noted that the annual operation capacity is estimated to range from 332,000 to 572,000 cubic yards (14 CCR, Section 18227(h)). 1.3.4 Design Capacity As previously discussed, the Compost Facility is designed to process approximately 640 to 1,100 tpd. The specific capacity depends on the composting process being used, density of materials and quality of the composted product. The facility was designed to have sufficient area for receiving, preprocessing, composting, curing, and storing these incoming materials as well as residue. Detailed design calculations are included in Appendix B. 1.3.5 Feedstock Material Types The feedstock materials as allowed under WDR Order No. R5 -2014-0006 may include, but not be limited to green material, green material mixed with food waste, food waste (inc l uding garbage), food processing residue, sewage sludge, biosolids, mix ed solid waste , manure, mixed paper, ash, gri t/grease (a nimal based), holding t an l ~ pump i ngs, cannery rinse water, and agricultural waste, as described in 14 CCR, Section 17852. All incoming feedstock will be spread out for manual screening in the manual screening area (see Figure 2) before being stockpiled. Composition of the material is dependent on the source of the feedstock and time of year. Biosolids may be raw , aerobica ll y digested, or anaerob ically digested and ..... il l be dewatered to 15 to 50 percent dry so li ds. Preprocessing before composting will be completed as needed to produce a product suitable for the final use. Section 1.3 provides a detailed definition of all of the feedstock materials to be utilized at the Compost Facility. 1.4 Types and Numbers of Vehicles AntiCipated to Enter the Facility The remote, rural location of the site already minimizes any interference and safety problems for traffic on the adjacent Austin Road. Stacking of vehicles from the RRF/Compost Facility on Austin Road has not and will continue to not occur, nor wil l incoming or outgoing vehicles be allowed to park or idle along Austin Road. In addition, stop signs are posted at RRF/Compost Facility exit to control the flow of traffic. The combined Forward Landfill, RRF, and Compost Facility are expected to receive a maximum of 620 trips as discussed in the Final Environmental Impact Report (FEIR) dated December 2002 from which Land Use Permit No. UP-00-07 was issued and as specified in SWFP No. 39-AA-0020 (see Appendix A). Trucks entering the RRF/Compost Facility are directed to the appropriate feedstock unloading area or the RRF building. These traffic measures control the traffic flow into, on, and out of the RRF/Compost Facility in a safe manner as required by 14 CCR, Section 17867(a)(6).
