CENTRAL LOCATION TO COLLECTION ROUTES Very Important 10 Consideration: To maximize waste cellection efficiency, transfer stations should be located centrally to waste Site with shortest road mile distance from collection routes, As a rule of thumb in urban and suburban areas, transfer stations should be no the centroitl will be ranked highest more than 10 miles away from the end of all collection routes. Beyond that distance, collection Distance will be measured using most direct routes might need to be altered to enable refuse to be collected and deposited at the transfer route to proposed site. Route maybe station within one operating shift, comprised of interstates,highways, major arterials, and street or roadway connectors. Definition: Road mile distance measured from proposed site to waste generation centroid - 2025 Mean Center (weighted by population and employment). 9 $ 1 1 2. ACCESS TO MAJOR TRANSPORTATION ROUTES Very Important 10 Consideration: The transfer station should have direct and convenient access to truck routes, major arterials, and Site with most direct or convenient access to highways. Access to rail would also afford additional transfer and disposal flexibility in the future. truck routes, major arterials, and highways It is preferable to avoid routing collection and transfer vehicle Uaffic through residenflal subdivision will be ranked highest. Street or roadway areas because traffic generated by transfer stations contributes to congestion; increased risk to connectors must accommodate through pedestrians; increased air emissions, noise, and wear on roads; and might contribute to litter traffic with the following functional problems, requirements: Parking-restricted (no parking on road); Major Intersections - Definition: Direct or convenient access to truck routes, major arterials, highways, andlar potential rail or traffic signals & cross street stops; Posted intermodel access. Major truck routes, arterials, and highways will be defined as 15-501, NC 54; Speed Limit- 35.45 MPH; and Truck Traffic NC 86 (excluding NC 86 north of Hillsborough), US 70, I-40, or I.85. -unrestricted. Potental rail access will be used to futther differentiate site rankings (e.g., sites with a lower truck access ranking that have rail access will be reevaluated in terms of final technical ranking.
