Orange County March 23, 2016 Page 4 of 11 7 (waste supply), and Essroc Cement Company (fuel off - taker). The project participants are all equity members in the special purpose project company formed to own and operate the facility! The Entsorga facility is permitted to accept up to 500 tons per day, 9,999 tons per month, of incoming MSW8. The facility utilizes the MBT process to stabilize the raw waste, to recover high value scrap metal, and to produce a homogenous, high energy value, fuel product solid recovered fuel called SRF. The production process takes about 14 days, explained below, from the receipt of raw MSW to the shipment of finished SRF. At the facility, route collection vehicles will discharge their waste loads into a pit inside an enclosed waste receiving hall. The hall will be equipped with high speed roll up doors as a part of the facility's overall odor management system. An overhead crane will retrieve waste from the receiving pit and load it onto a conveyor feeding a rotating screen. The rotary screen will divide the waste into two fractions, oversized and undersized. The oversized fraction, consisting mostly of dry paper and plastics will be directed to the SRF production line. The undersized fraction, rich in wet organic material, will be placed into a biological stabilization pit by the overhead crane system. In this stabilization pit, warm air will be forced through waste pile enhancing biological degradation and drying the material. Exhaust air from the stabilization process, and the balance of the plant, will directed to a bio- filter for odor control. After 10 to 14 days, the organics within the waste pile have been stabilized and an overhead crane will remove the dried stabilized waste from the pit and feed it into the SRF production line. Apple Valley already has a materials recovery facility to process clean, source separated recyclables, so no additional recovery of recyclable material, other than metals, is included at the Entsorga facility. At the SRF production line, shown in the diagram in Figure 1, oversized material from the pre - processing section, and dried stabilized undersized material will be passed under magnets and eddy current devices to recover valuable metals. The balance of the combined streams will be fed to a shredding system for final size reduction. After shredding, the SRF will be held in a storage pit until it is loaded into trucks for transport to the fuel user.
