<br /> <br />Forward Landfill – SIR 7 www.scsengineers.com <br /> <br /> CalRecycle reported waste intake in tons for 2020 and 2021; and <br /> A site-specific AUF of 0.85 tons/CY. <br />As stated in Section 4.2, a 75% organics diversion upstream in 2025 from the 2014 estimated <br />organic waste disposal is approximately 407,674 tons. To estimate the projected impacts to the <br />waste volume due to the potential reduction of 75% of organics diversion upstream, 407,674 tons <br />were subtracted from 1,049,565 tons (equivalent to the 2024 waste intake with 1.4% growth rate <br />without 75% upstream organics diversion). Therefore, assuming the upstream diverted organics <br />fraction tonnage was not immediately replaced with alternate waste streams, an estimated <br />641,891 tons would be received at the Site in 2025. Table 6 summarizes the resulting potential <br />impacts on the Landfill’s volumetric capacity. <br /> <br />Table 6 – Landfill Capacity and Site Life <br />Year Solid Waste Placement <br />(Tons) <br />Airspace <br />Consumed (CY) <br />Remaining Capacity (CY) <br />2020 925,947 1,089,349 20,739,248 <br />2025 641,891 755,166 15,213,097 <br />2043 535,782 630,332 0 <br /> <br />The table presenting the volumetric capacity calculations for the Site is included as Appendix B. <br />7 WASTE HANDLING METHODS <br />Materials received at the Site include soil, ADC, refuse, and special waste. Handling of materials is <br />conducted to minimize vectors and the creation of nuisances associated with solid waste disposal. <br />The purpose of these procedures is to protect public health and safety and to meet the Handling <br />Criteria of 27 CCR §21600b (7)(B and E) and the Operating Criteria of 27 CCR §21600b (50(J). <br />All MSW deliveries to the Site are first directed to the active working face. Waste received at the <br />working face is pushed to the fill area by a dozer for compaction. The commercial unloading area is <br />maintained at the toe of the working face to provide maximum protection from winds to reduce litter. <br />Waste is disposed of at either the base or top of the working face. <br />As special wastes enter the Site, an official begins the screening process and grants disposal <br />approval. During the review and approval process, special handling requirements are identified. <br />Once accepted, special waste will be disposed per the appropriate provisions of 27 CCR. <br />The reduction of organic waste disposal due to upstream diversion is anticipated to decrease the <br />overall amount of refuse disposed at the Landfill. The waste reduction can impact the size of the <br />working face, which is determined by the actual waste throughput. Other than potential impacts to <br />the size of the working face and the timing of future landfill development, no other changes to the <br />waste handling methods currently in-place are anticipated at this time, resulting from the reduction <br />in organic waste disposal.
