PARCEL 51ZE AND AVAILABILITY Consideration The area required for specific transfer stafions varies significantly, depending oo the volume of Single parcel, freely offered, sites will be waste to be transferred, rates at which waste will be delivered, the functions fo be carried out at the ranked highest site, and the types of customers the facility is intended to 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 acresas established under the Exclusionary Criteria. Co-location sites with other municipal facilities or operations of less than 25 acres will be considered provided fhaf transporfation,access, buffers, and preliminary transfer station layout and roadway configurations demonstrate the adequacy of a smaller site, e eno~IriG~IT CDnrG cnp nAl CITC Dnnnu~nva nl IGniAlr nAln DnDttlAlr t C...:nn! ..rnv.:ni nnminn n a nnfnninn ~roffin frnm FnnLinn nn4n nntilin rn~rle_ 4. SUFFICIENT SPACE FOR ON•SITE ROADWAYS, QUEUING, AND PARKING Consideration Transfer stations typically have on-site roadways to move vehicles around various. parts of the The site thak lends itself to the most efficient transfer site. Waste collection trucks can be up to 40 feet lohg. Transfer trailers that move waste ' desigh in terms of roadway geometry and to a disposal facility are typically 50 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, maidmum slopes, number of lanes, parking transfervehicles and to allow incoming ahd 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 following 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 for a Bauble stack 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 for 5 vehicles plus 2 visitors; and trailer storage for 4 to 6 units.
