Transfer/Processing Report Tracy Material Recovery& Transfer Facility 30703 S. MacArthur Drive, Tracy, California 95377 Compost Facility: The Report of Compost Site Information for the composting facility is found in Section II of this document; it includes an Odor Impact Minimization Plan (OIMP) that is being proposed and will be incorporated as part of this Solid Waste Facility Permit revision process. Hazardous Waste Exclusion Program Tracy will not intentionally accept hazardous wastes, including paint, and special wastes. Should unauthorized hazardous wastes be discovered during the transfer process, control measures as necessary to protect public health, safety and the environment will be implemented by Tracy, such as elimination or control of dusts, fumes, mists, vapors or gases shall be taken prior to isolation or removal from the operation or facility. Liquid wastes and sludges will not be accepted or stored at the Facility. The Ioadchecking protocol for the Tracy Material Recovery & Transfer Facility consists of the following: • The curbside collected MSW, recyclables, and organic waste will have already been initially screened by the collection driver before the load arrives at the site. Remaining unacceptable materials are detected during the transfer process. • Only non-hazardous wastes are accepted at the site. Typical unacceptable materials include liquid wastes, paint containers, aerosol cans, and friable asbestos, which will be stored inside of the MRF Building or C&D Processing Area upon detection. • All loads are visually checked as they are transferred. Debris boxes are checked at pickup and during the tipping and sorting process. • The greatest likelihood of hidden hazardous waste, special wastes, or other prohibited wastes being in the waste stream occurs in the debris boxes and annuals. The loads are visually screened for unacceptable materials by employees helping with the transfer and/or processing. Unacceptable materials are extracted from the waste and stored in a Title 22-compliant hazardous waste storage locker at the facility, where it is handled by a licensed contractor to manage. As each debris box is numbered, the unacceptable waste can be traced back to its origin, if necessary. Tracy experiences a very low incidence of unacceptable waste being mixed in the debris box material. Tracy provides debris box customers with a written list of acceptable and unacceptable materials. 28
