Attachment 1 B f 9: GENTLY SLOPING TOPOGRAPHY Consideration: Transfer stations often are multi-level buildings that need to have vehicle access at several levels. Completely flat sites deed ramps or bridges constructed to allow vehicle access to upper levels (or areas ezcsvsted to allow access to lower levels):-Sites with moderately slopingterrain cah use topography to their advantage; allowing access to the upper levels from the higher parts df the nafiiral terrain shd access toiower 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 (lipping floor) from higher natural elevations and access to lower level of the transfer station (transfer drive-through) from lower riatu~al elevations. .e.

ACCESS TO.UTILITIES Consideration: `Transfer stations generally require electricity to operate equipment, such as ventilation fans; lighting; -water for facility cleaning, restrootns, and drinking; and sanitary sewer systems for wastewater disposal, Some transferstations use wellsfor water supply, and some; especially in more «iral settings, use septic systems or frock their wastewater for off site treatment. Deflniflon: Availability of electrical, water, and sewer service at the site, A site that has a moderate naturally sloping topography in-the range iif 4% to 6% (from the back of trahsfer liuildirig)-will be ranked the highest. = ' A site that has'electrical water and sewer service of sufficient capacityfor transfer operafloris'withinthc immediate vicinity (1000 feet of the site}will betankedthe highest, Page 5 Concerns regarding disposal ofwash- downwater.
