3. Santa Ana Material Recovery Facility (SAMRF) <br /> The Santa Ana Material Recovery and Transfer Facility (SAMRF) will be <br /> a state-of-the-art recycling and waste management facility that will serve <br /> select cities in Orange County. The SAMRF will be designed and developed <br /> in phases with an ultimate processing capacity of up to 4,000 TPD of <br /> municipal solid waste and recyclable materials. <br /> With the Santa Ana/City-Cycle MRF, new employment opportunities-- <br /> jobs-- will be created. Great Western Reclamation has committed to hire <br /> hard-to-hire disadvantaged individuals as part of its commitment to the <br /> community. The potential of up to 200 new jobs in Santa Ana further <br /> strengths our roots in this community. The Santa Ana/City Cycle MRF will <br /> have an immediate economic and environmental impact. <br /> Santa Ana's contribution is expected to be between 1,000 to 1,200 tons <br /> per day which allows for processing about 2,800 tons per day of outside <br /> waste. Waste Management proposes to offer the City of Santa Ana a $1.00 <br /> per ton host fee for all material originating outside of the City which is <br /> delivered to the SAMRF. <br /> The SAMRF will provide a variety of recycling, material recovery, and <br /> waste transfer services designed to enable participating communities to <br /> comply with the California Integrated Waste Management Act (AB 939) <br /> which requires 25% and 50% diversion from landfills by 1995 and 2000, <br /> respectively. Through the sorting of mixed residential and commercial <br /> waste and loads of construction and demolition (C&D) debris, plus the <br /> processing of source-separated materials such as cans, bottles, paper, and <br /> various forms of yard waste, the SAMRF will recover at least 25% of the <br /> material received at the facility in 1995, and 35% by 1998. The materials <br /> recovered at the facility and the recyclables from curbside collection <br /> programs will be sorted and processed as necessary for sale to local or <br /> export markets. <br /> All residual waste will be consolidated into transfer trucks and <br /> transported to local landfills for disposal. <br /> 42 <br />
