Attachment 1A ssess-te-apper-~ve4-tipping-area: 9..GENTLY SLOPING TOPOGRAPHY Consideration: Transfer stations often are multi-level buildings that need to have vehicle access at several levels, Completely flat sites need ramps or bridges constructed to allow vehicle access to upper levels (or areas excavated to allow access to lower levels); Sites with. moderately sloping terrain can use topography to their advantage, allowing, access to the upper levels from the higher parts of the:. natural terrain and access to lower levels from the lower parts, Sites with steep slopes might require extra costs associated with earthmoving and retaining walls. Definition: Moderately sloping terrain for access to the upper level of the transfer station (tipping floor) from higher natural elevations and access to lower level of the transfer station (transfer drive-through) from lowernatural elevatiohs A0_ ACACCCTf1IITII ITICC ~.

ACCESS TO UTILITIES Consideration Transfer stations generally require electricity to operate equipment, such as ventilation fans; lighting; water for facility cleaning, restrooms, and drinking; and sanitary sewer systems for wastewater disposal. Some transfer. stations use,wells for water supply, and some, especially in more. rural settings, use. septic systems or truck their wastewater for off site treatment,, Definition: Availability of electrical, water, and sewer service at the site, A site that has a moderate naturally sloping topography it the range of 4% to 6% (from the back of transfer building) will be ranked the highest, A site that has electrical, water aril sewer service of sufficient capacity for transfer operations within the immediate vicinity (10D0 feet of the site) will be ranked the. highest; Page 5 Important 5 Important 5 Attachment 1A BOCC Work Session - 06/16/08
