Transfer/Processing Report <br /> Tracy Material Recovery& Transfer Facility <br /> 30703 S. MacArthur Drive, Tracy, California 95377 <br /> ramp located to the east of the MRF building and directly onto the main access road, <br /> proceeding across the outbound scale(s) and exiting onto South Macarthur Drive <br /> through the main gate. <br /> Trucks carrying solid waste will be weighed and tipped onto the floor of the Transfer <br /> Station by commercial vehicles and self-haul vehicles. There will be signage and a <br /> spotter within the Transfer Station to direct traffic safely. Limited manual floor sorting <br /> will occur pulling out bulky wood and loads of cardboard. Wheel loaders operating <br /> in the building push the municipal solid waste into waiting transfer trailer(s) in the <br /> loading bay below on the west side of the building. <br /> Trucks carrying green material, construction and demolition wastes, and inert debris <br /> are weighed at the truck scale(s) shown on the site plan. The green material is <br /> directed to the Compost Facility Tipping Pad to dump the load, and the C&D wastes <br /> and inert debris are directed to the C&D Operations Area and Inert Operations Area, <br /> respectively, to dump their wastes. <br /> Sorting and Transfer Operations <br /> Sorting takes place within the MRF building. Upon arrival at the facility, the general <br /> public is directed to the public tipping area, and commercial vehicles are directed to <br /> the commercial tipping area. Refuse is dumped directly onto the tipping floor for <br /> processing and pushed using front loaders to the loadout pit and into transfer trailers <br /> below. <br /> In addition to materials separated from the mixed waste stream, recyclable materials <br /> will be delivered by the public, picked up at recycling centers, and picked up a <br /> curbside or other locations within the service area. Individuals arriving at the site are <br /> able to drop off material at the buy-back center within the MRF building. <br /> Recyclables are processed on a mechanical sort-line utilizing manual sorting and <br /> mechanical means to separate plastics, paper and cardboard, metals, glass and other <br /> recoverable materials from the waste stream. Separated recyclables are then baled or <br /> containerized for shipment to their various markets, with residues consolidated with <br /> other refuse for transfer to landfills for disposal. <br /> Material Recovery Facility: <br /> Recycling occurs within the fully enclosed Material Recovery Facility. Material <br /> brought to the site will consist of residential source-separated recyclables with <br /> contamination that may or may not have less than 10% contamination with residuals <br /> or other physical contamination that cannot be recycled. No household hazardous <br /> waste or other hazardous waste will be knowingly accepted at the site. <br /> The project is projected to be capable of recovering at least 80% of all source- <br /> separated residential material that is processed at the facility. The material will be <br /> sorted and separated by type. Some material will be condensed or baled. Other <br /> 11 <br />
