Transfer/Processing Report <br /> Tracy Material Recovery& Transfer Facility <br /> 30703 S. MacArthur Drive, Tracy, California 95377 <br /> FACILITY DESIGN <br /> Facility Design Capacity <br /> 18221.6(8) facility design capacity including the assumptions, methods, and <br /> calculations performed to determine the total capacity <br /> Design Calculations <br /> The assumptions, methods, and calculations for each specific operation are <br /> provided below. <br /> Transfer Station: <br /> Transfer Station Capacity— Design 3,072 TPD <br /> The Transfer Station is housed in a portion of the enclosed building of 47,200 square <br /> feet. There are two waste openings above the load-out bays adjacent to the MSW <br /> Tipping Area on the floor of the Transfer Station. Transfer trailers below grade will <br /> be top loaded with MSW by a wheeled loader pushing MSW through the waste <br /> opening. A transfer vehicle holding 24 tons of municipal solid waste can be loaded <br /> in less than 15 minutes. With two transfer trailers being loaded, with an operational <br /> average of 8 trucks per hours, 3,072 tons of MSW can be loaded out in a 16-hour <br /> day. <br /> The indoor operations would include adding a food waste processing line to remove <br /> contaminants from commercial and institutional food waste loads, and process the <br /> food waste into organic feedstock for composting facilities or anaerobic digestion <br /> facilities. Food processing lines can manage 20 tons per hour, and with up to 12 <br /> hours of processing per day, up to 240 TPD of feedstock would be produced with a <br /> 90% recovery rate. However, only 120 TPD is anticipated to be processed. <br /> Material Recovery Facility: <br /> The Material Sort Facility is housed in another portion of the enclosed building. <br /> There is one pick line primarily for residential recyclables, but is used for commercial <br /> recyclables as well. <br /> Belt Capacity— Design 480 TPD <br /> The sorting system can handle a maximum of 20 tons per hour over the sorting belt. <br /> Operating at full capacity over a 24-hour day up to 480 tons of recyclables may be <br /> processed on the sort line. <br /> Baling Operation — Design 480 TPD <br /> The baler is capable of baling 20 tons per hour. Baling can occur 24 hours per day <br /> with a design capacity of 480 tons per day. <br /> 19 <br />
