IV: The MRF Site <br />Eubanks Road Landfill site has been considered as a possible site for the MRF. RRSI was asked to <br />examine this site and determine how a MRF could be integrated into other relevant solid waste and <br />recycling activities at that site and determine the best relationship between these selected activities. <br />A detailed review of the Eubanks Road Landfill site has been completed in order to determine its suitability <br />as a location for the proposed Orange Community MRF. A potential site layout has been conceptualized <br />in order to determine whether all targeted functions could successfully be combined at the site. This <br />analysis and site plan is presented below. <br />CURRENT SITE ACTIVITIES <br />A brief summary of current activities at the site is presented in the following table. <br />Activity Name <br />Volumes <br />Comments <br />Solid waste landfilling <br />5,000 tons per month <br />Estimated 7 year life span remaining <br />Recyclable drop -off collection <br />54 tons per month <br />Can be relocated nearby <br />Construction and demolition waste <br />2,000 tons per month <br />Estimated 18 months life span left. <br />landfilling <br />Construction and demolition waste <br />50 tons per month <br />Recovery limited by constraints of staff <br />recovery <br />and equipment <br />Recycling Processing and <br />2,500 tons per year <br />Activities are on adjoining land to the <br />Equipment Maintenance <br />west but traffic through site <br />Tire recovery <br />9,100 tons per year <br />Currently operated on southern edge of <br />main site. <br />White goods recovery <br />400 tons per year <br />Currently operated on,southem edge of <br />main site. <br />Household Hazardous Waste <br />140 customers per event <br />Operated on an isolated portion of the <br />Collection <br />south side landfill site <br />Mulch management <br />5,000 tons per year <br />Very little grass is accepted, mostly brush <br />and leaves. <br />POTENTIAL SITE PLAN <br />The conceptual site configuration is presented in the accompanying drawing. It features the proposed <br />material recovery facility as the "anchor" operation with other major functions including a transfer station, <br />construction and demolition waste landfill, construction and demolition waste recovery area, mulch, white <br />goods, and tire collection, and equipment maintenance and storage. The main facility entrance is <br />relocated to the eastern end of the site with an entry road run parallel to Eubanks Road to facilitate <br />queuing before the scale. <br />At full development the site will incorporate a "ring road" that allows all traffic to circulate the site in a <br />counter clockwise direction accessing operational centers on the inside of the site directly from the ring <br />road. An extra site entrance will be maintained closer to the current entrance in order to facilitate safe and <br />efficient passenger vehicle access to the proposed MRF and its associated administrative offices and <br />educational centers. <br />2/5/99 Orange Regional MRF LOG Workshop Materials 11 <br />
