SCS Engineers provides design engineering, permitting and related environmental assistance for the new Zion Crossroads Recycling Center, a construction and demolition (C&D) debris recycling facility. This ongoing work includes permitting-related work (zoning, local site permitting, Virginia permit-by-rule application and inspections, facility design, Virginia DEQ air permitting and VPDES permitting).
The facility design of this new C&D recycling facility includes:
- Relocation and reuse of an existing building for use as a dirty MRF and reuse and reconditioning of the existing office for use as an office and scale house
- New 60,500-ft2 building to provide tipping, sorting and processing of construction and demolition debris. The system utilizes a combination of automated and manned sorting to remove the different materials from the waste stream
- New maintenance shop, heated by used oil
- New fuel storage tanks and fueling station for site machinery
- New above ground storage tank with associated pump building to provide necessary fire protection for the facility
- New citizen’s drop-off center for household recyclables
- Evaluation, permitting and design modifications to the existing earthen dam to accommodate new traffic flows around the site
- Making various upgrades to the site with regard to lighting, pavement, landscaping, storm water management and wetlands delineation
