PARCEL SIZE AND AVAILABILITY Very Important 10 Consideration, The area required for specific transfer stations varies significantly, depending on the volume of Single parcel, freely offered, sites will be waste to be transferred, rates at which waste will be delivered, the functions to be carried out at the ranketl'highest, site, and the types of customers the facility is intended fo serve. Locating a site of sufficient size is critical to operating efficiencies and minimizing impacts on the surrounding community, Definition: The minimum site size to be initially considered will be 25 acres as established under the Exclusionary Criteria. Co-location sites with other municipal facilities or operations of less than 25 acres will be considered provided that transportation. access, buffers, and preliminary transfer e mlcclrlcAl station layout and roadway configurations demonstrate, the adequacy of a smaller site, T conrc eno nAl CITC onnnurnve nI IcnlAlr nAln onaulnlr ~ 1 ' ers: f 4. SUFFICIENT SPACE FOR ON~SITE ROADWAYS, QUEUING, AND PARKING Important 5 Consideration, Transfer stations typically have on-site roadways to move vehicles around various parts of the The site that lends itself to the most efficient transfer Site. Waste collection, Uucks can be up to 40 feet Ieng. Transfer trailers that move waste design in terms of roadway geometry and to a disposal facility are typically 5D to 70 feet long. These vehicles need wide roadways with layout will be ranked highest; Roadway , gradual slopes and curves to maneuver efficiently and safely. Also, the site will need space for widths, maximum slopes, number of laces, parking transfer vehicles and to allow incoming and outgoing traffic to form lines without backing up turning radius, and traffic flow pattern will be onto public roads. considered. Definition: On-site roadways and maneuvering areas will meet the fallowing minimum requirements: down slope vehicle ramps must be less than 10%; upward sloped ramps must be less than 6%; roadway widths for collection vehicle and Transfer vehicle traffic must be 24 feet; inbound and outbound collection vehicle queuing (in front of scale) must accommodate 4 vehicles with provisions fora tloublestack using bypass or outbound lanes (i.e., stage 8 inbound collection vehicles); queuing for 4 transfer vehicles including trailers positioned under load-out hoppers; staff parking fot 5 vehicles . plus 2 visitors; and trailer storage for 4 to$ units.
