CDI Transfer/processing facilities can also be regulated under a traditional municipal solid waste (MSW) transfer/processing permit. Here are some differences to consider between the transfer processing permitted facilities and CDI permitted facilities:

Transfer/Processing Article 6.0

• No CDI definition restriction, may accept any type of nonhazardous waste
• No source separation limit (1st part test)
• No putrescibles limit (3rd part test)
• No residual requirement (5th part test)
• No new public hearing requirement
• No fire prevention plan
• No three strikes requirement
• No scale requirement
• Public perception of “MSW”--a transfer station (TS) vs. a CDI operation
• Storage times and amounts can be established in full permit conditions
• Storage amounts uncertain (scavenging and salvaging state minimum standards and permit conditions)
• Registration tier >15 tons per day (tpd) and <100 tpd
• Full permit requirement 100 tpd +

CDI Processing Article 5.9 When Permitted as CDI Facility Then:

• C&D debris only shall be accepted
• Registration tier >25 tpd & <175 tpd
• Full permit requirement 175 tpd +
• Specific storage times
• Specific storage amounts
• Scale/receipt requirements
• <40 percent residual – 60 percent recycling requirement for medium volume
• 3 strikes provision for medium volume
• Public hearing requirement
