• OPERATIONS PLAN
Northern Colorado Disposal USR
Operation Plan for Recycling Facility/Transfer Station
Owner/Operator:
Don Frei
Northern Colorado Disposal
337 E. 8th Street
Greeley, CO 80631
970-353-4090
Northern Colorado Disposal has applied for a Use by Special Review through Weld
County Planning for a Recycling Facility/Transfer Station. The subject property is 6
acres located at the Southwest Corner of Weld County Road 31 and Weld County Road
64. This property is not annexed at this time. It is with this report that the applicant
wishes to explain in detail the aspects of this facility and its operations.
As part of this Operations Plan, a Site Plan has been attached hereto.
Activities at this facility will include delivering, handling, sorting, and hauling out of
both recyclable and waste materials. Onsite activities will take place year-round. The
• normal hours of operation will be approximately 12 hours a day five days a week with
Saturdays being on a limited schedule. It is anticipated that up to a total of 15 to 20
employees will be employed at the site during operation hours. There would be
personnel at this facility at all times supervising the operation of mechanical equipment.
It is anticipated that 239 incoming residential trash trucks with full loads will be received
at this site per month. The anticipated loads going out will be approximately 57 loads per
month headed for the landfill and approximately 28 loads per month of recyclable
materials transferred elsewhere for recycling. The reduction in loads is achieved in the
processing of the refuse. These recyclable materials would be machine compacted,
bound as necessary, and loaded for delivery to select receiving sites. Onsite staff would
be trained to recognized unauthorized waste such as PCB's and hazardous wastes or any
other environmental concerns.
For a better understanding of the magnitude of this environmentally conscience
opportunity, the anticipated recyclable materials from this recycling operation and spared
from the Landfill are (per month):
20 tons of aluminum cans
130 tons of newspaper
130 tons of cardboard
86 tons of steel
250 tons of yard waste—including branches, limbs, and grass for composting
• 90 tons of comingled materials such as glass and plastic
• From one's review of these significant numbers,the impact that this facility will have on
the environment is very important. Substantial environmental impacts will be realized
through 1) cost savings in the form of reduced trips and road wear to the landfill, 2)
saving the landfill from unnecessary volume, and 3) providing a positive method of
withholding daily consumer waste for reuse in the marketplace through recycling.
This site, as depicted on the Site Plan, would have adequate room for truck circulation.
At this time, the plan is to place gravel in all areas of truck traffic with the exception of
the access apron onto Weld County Road 64, which would be asphalt of adequately
designed depth.
This facility is being designed to be a drop off point for trash hauling trucks in route to
the landfill. At this facility, household and commercial trash would be downloaded and
sorted inside the proposed building. Recyclable materials would be sorted out,
compacted, bound as necessary, and loaded onto trucks for transfer to select receiving
sites for further processing. The remaining trash waste would be loaded onto trucks and
be transferred to the landfill. There would be adequate room inside the building for
delivery of trash prior to being processed. Due to the number of large doors in the
building, the need for an exhaust removal system is not anticipated. Typically, trash
trucks would back into the building and dump the load on the concrete floor rather than in
a pit, eliminating the need for guard rails or other protective measures. All solid waste
received at the transfer station will be processed daily. Any solid wastes will be
• processed or transferred within 24 hours of receipt. All solid waste materials passing
through the transfer station shall be ultimately treated or disposed of in an approved solid
waste site, or transferred to an approved recycle facility for processing. There will be no
long term storage of any solid waste materials.
A Traffic Impact Study has been prepared as part of the applicant's USR submittal.
Roadway and access improvements would be made in accordance with this Study.
Design standards for this type of heavy truck traffic would be incorporated into this
facility. The drive areas will be gravel and designed and maintained at appropriate
grades to facilitate movement during all weather conditions. Included in this facility will
be a public recyclables drop-off area oriented close to the entrance to lessen any impacts
on truck traffic onsite. No public access to the transfer facility or dumping of trash will
be allowed.
This facility would be set up to accommodate a building (approximately 18,000 sq. ft.)
and the necessary equipment for the proper sorting out of recyclable materials. The
necessary equipment would include compactors and conveyor systems specifically
designed for this operation. Typical front end loaders would be available onsite and used
to load and unload trucks. A roll off truck would be kept onsite for the necessary moving
and shuffling of roll off containers.
As outlined in the following paragraphs, all reasonable measures will be employed to
• minimize, collect, properly contain, and dispose of scattered litter. The facility will be
managed in such a manner that noise, dust and odors do not constitute a hazard to human
ti
• health. The facility will be managed in such a manner that the attraction, breeding and
emergence of birds, insects, rodents and other vectors do not constitute a health hazard.
In order to control litter, all operations are indoors. The proposed building will have 2
large doors on the north side and 4 large doors and a man door on the south side. The
overhead doors would be programmed so that only one side could be open at anytime to
avoid impacts by the wind and any odor. As a secondary barrier against litter, a 6 foot
fence is proposed around the entire facility. On a daily schedule, staff will perform a
cleanup of any litter both within the facility grounds, and along the perimeters.
Noise, dust and odors will also be substantially reduced by the indoor operations. Some
noise due to truck and equipment operations can be anticipated during business hours.
There is no equipment proposed that is excessively noisy, and the operations volumes
will be 'at or below the volumes of adjacent operations (i.e. farm equipment, truck traffic
and bean processing equipment). Dust and odor will also be substantially contained in
the building. No excessive dust is anticipated, as residential refuse does not tend to have
high volumes of dust producing items. In the event that a dusty load is being processed,
the downwind garage doors will be closed for containment as described previously. Odor
will be further reduced by processing all waste daily.
Due to the nature of this operation, the only landscaping anticipated would be along the
arterial roads and kept to the minimum required by Weld County.
• This facility will not accept any hazardous wastes. The trash collection drivers have been
trained to identify and reject any hazardous wastes during pickup, leaving them at the
point of collection to be handled by the owner. Although it is not anticipated that any
hazardous waste will ever reach the facility, a Contingency Plan for the facility will be in
place at all times and will specify the procedures to be followed to handle any hazardous
materials incidents; contamination of surface or ground waters; address any nuisance
conditions; and have alternate solid waste handling solutions in the event of a period
where the facility is unable to operate.
Access to the property will be through one access point on WCR 64, with an emergency
entrance/exit on WCR 31 to be used only in the event that the primary access point is
temporarily closed for any reason. The entire property will be fenced with a 6' chain link
fence for security and safety. The entrance will have a double gate on the North as well
as an emergency entrance/exit on the East. All required signage would be installed and
meet Weld County or the Federal Highway Administration's Manual for Uniform Traffic
Control Devices as applicable. This property is not located within 200 feet of any
residential zone,the requirement of Buffer Zones should not be applicable.
Domestic services to the office and bathroom facilities have been accounted for. An
existing domestic tap from North Weld County Water District exists at the site. A letter
dated July 25, 2008 has been attached indicating the district's willingness and ability to
serve this facility. No existing district or municipal sewer collection is available at this
time, therefore an onsite wastewater disposal system is proposed. This system will be
• designed and constructed in accordance with Weld County Health Department ISDS
regulations.
A fire protection plan is required as part of this operations plan. Preliminary discussions
with the Union Colony Fire Rescue Authority, and a letter dated August 5, 2008 has been
included to demonstrate that this process is underway. The letter indicates that fire
protection can be achieved through the utilization of a water storage tank, a fire pump and
an NFPA 13 compliant fire sprinkler system. A final fire protection plan is in process,
and will be submitted to the Union Colony Fire Rescue Authority.
Off-site water will be considered at all times by utilizing control measures that will be
initiated to protect surface and ground waters. All sorting and recycling will be
performed inside a closed building. The floors will be sloped to a floor drain that collects
any residuals from the refuse as well as any equipment cleaning and washdown water.
The facilities will be cleaned daily and all floors will be free of standing water. No loose
materials, litter or debris will be stored in the facility. The area will be swept clean, and
washed down as necessary to prevent odors and other nuisance conditions. The collected
water will be diverted to a water tight storage tank where it can be pumped and hauled to
an approved processing facility. A high water alarm will be used to notify the staff when
the tank needs to be pumped. The facility is not located within a floodplain or floodway,
and the site grading will drain the site into a detention pond. This pond will be designed
to meet the Weld County Stormwater Criteria, including provisions for the twenty-four
• (24) hour, twenty-five (25) year stonn and provide methods to release at the five (5) year
historic.
In the event that the facility is closed, the facility will follow a closure plan that conforms
to the Colorado Department of Health and Environment: Regulations Pertaining to Solid
Waste Sites and Facilities, Section 7.2.4. This procedure will include at a minimum,
removal of all stored solid wastes and washdown liquids and notification in writing to
Weld County of temporary or permanent closure.
