1-7 Forward Composting Facility SWT Engineering Report of Composting Site Information - January 2022 should be noted that the annual operation capacity is estimated to range from 332,000 to 572,000 cubic yards, in accordance with 14 CCR, Section 18227(h). 1.3.4 D esign Capacity As previously discussed, the Compost Facility is designed to process approximately up 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 mat erials 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 and WDR Order No. 2020 -0012-DWQ may include, but not be limited to green material, green material mixed with food waste, food waste, food processing residue , manure, mixed paper, 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 t ime of year. 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 a ny interference and safety problems for traffic on the adjacent Austin Road. Stacking of vehicles from the RRF /Compost Facility on Austin Road has not been an issue and is not anticipated to be an issue in the future , nor will 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. Based on the Solid Waste Facility Permit s 39-AA-0015 and 39-AA-0020, the combined Forward Landfill, RRF , and Compost Facility are permitted to receive a maximum of 620 trips/day (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 F acility in a safe manner as required by 14 CCR, Section 17867 (a)(6).
