The applicant is resquesting a Conditional Use Permit for the processing, temporary storage and transfer of up to 100,000 tons of non-hazardous combustion byproducts (flyash) per year. Up to 500 tons per day of coal-fired and bio-mass fired fly and bed ashes would be received at the facility and processed as necessary to render them more acceptable for beneficial uses and less problematic for handling and temporary storage. Flyash would be received from several source plants, including Rio Bravo Poso, Rio Bravo Jasmin, Mt. Poso Cogeneration and Covanta Delano Energy. Calash would receive the various ashes in both dry and moisture conditioned states. The coal ash would be processed through a pug mill to render it moisture conditioned. Bio-mass ash would be conditioned at the source plant and would be received and stockpiled only at the project site. Bed ash sands would be occasionally brought to the site and would either be temporarily stockpiled for reshipments or would be processed through rented CARB registered portable screens systems to achieve acceptable gradations for sale applications. The processed flyash would then be reshipped to customers primarily in the agricultural, dairy, waste disposal, oilfield service and construction industries. Then entire 10 acre project site would be paved with asphalt. The site would operate from 6 am to 6 pm, Monday to Friday, and possibly on weekends. The site would employ one site operations manager, 2 site equipment operators, 8 full time truck drivers and other seasonal personnel as needed.
