This is for the use of heavy equipment poured 6" deep on the new expansion with a berm located at the entrance, and no less than 4" on the existing floor depending on the condition of the floor under the metal. The floor will need to slope to the back of the building for the liquid to drain into the pit where the trailer is loaded for collection. Push walls will need to be constructed and poured 8' high angled from front to back that will stop at the existing building on approved footers with concrete on two sides for containment of solid waste, and the existing push walls inside the existing structure will need to be repaired. All rebar is to be added to the footer and push walls as per building code.

The block wall on the back of the building will need to be repaired and or replaced with 12" block poured with the same strength concrete material as the floor and push walls. A skirt will need to be installed around the walls of the pit where the trailer is loaded to contain solid waste that all waste will fall into the trailer. The skirt will be a wood stick-built structure with 3/4'" plywood covered with 22ga coil stock for a flat surface so waste will not hang up on the skirt.
