SECTION 2 - COUNTYWIDE SAMPLING RESULTS <br />2.4 Explosive and Hard -to- Process Items <br />During the process of capturing and sorting samples, the field supervisor noted loads that <br />contained hard -to- process or potentially explosive items. Hard -to- process items include <br />anything that would be difficult or impossible to manually sort, automatically process, or <br />transfer by conveyor belt due to weight or size constraints. Examples of these items are <br />appliances, mattresses, and carpet. Of the 100 loads sampled, 9 contained hard -to- process <br />items: three with mattresses, three with bulky furniture, and one each with large -sized <br />demolition materials, large crates, and large plastic pipe. Five of the hard -to- process items <br />came from the transfer station substream and four came from the commercial substream. <br />No potentially explosive items were identified during the 2008 and 2001 sampling events. <br />APPX B WASTE COMPOSITION REPORT 121709DOC 2 -3 <br />
