§ 57.106 SOLID WASTE TRANSFER FACILITY OPERATING REQUIREMENTS.

   General requirements and operation procedures for solid waste transfer facilities are listed as follows.

   (a)   Storage of salvage. Salvaging and volume reduction operations shall be restricted to a specified, clearly identified area of the transfer facility. Salvage materials generated on site or imported shall be stored away from other activity areas and be limited to a volume as approved by the sanitary landfill. Stored materials salvaged from solid wastes shall be ancillary to the operation of the facility, unless the storage is planned as an integral part of the operation.

   (b)   Drainage control. Surface drainage shall be handled as specified in the facility design. Storm water drainage leaving the facility shall not contain pollutants, solids, wash water, or leachate emanating from solid wastes or any other process wastewater.

   (c)   Housekeeping. A high standard of housekeeping is required in the maintenance of station equipment. Accumulation of fuel drums, parts, inoperable equipment, tires, scrap, and similar items must be minimized unless reasonably screened from outside the station boundary.

   (d)   Odor control. The facility shall not be a source of odor nuisances.

   (e)   Equipment construction. All equipment used for the collection and transportation of solid wastes shall be durable, easily cleanable, and designed for safe handling and constructed to prevent loss of waste from the equipment during collection or transportation. All equipment shall be maintained in a good condition and cleaned in a frequency and in a manner to prevent the propagation or attraction of flies, mosquitoes, rodents, birds, and other vectors.

   (f)   Frequency of removal. Waste can be stored at the transfer facility or site for no longer than 48 hours. A weekly removal of salvaged waste material is required. Other frequencies may be acceptable, so long as they do not result in health or safety problems and are authorized by the sanitary landfill.

(1992 Code, § 18-76) (Ord. 93-88, passed 10-24-1988; Ord. 149-95, passed 11-20-1995; Ord. 15-03, passed 2-10-2003; Ord. 63-06, passed 5-15-2006; Ord. 117-18, passed 12-11-2018)

§ 57.107 VOLUME REDUCTION PERMITTED.

   Volume reduction operations, such as baling, shredding, compacting, or salvaging, are permitted at a solid waste transfer facility, provided they are conducted in a controlled manner as an integral part of the operation and in conformance with conditions established by the sanitary landfill. Volume reduction activities shall not interfere with other aspects of facility operation and shall be controlled to minimize health, safety, or nuisance problems.
