9.ASR Section H states Four, semi-trailer-accessible docks are required. The space needs to have an area with adequate turning radius/backup and access for semi-trucks. A sloped down ramp with semi access is required. A level ramp with lift capability is also required.

In reference to "A sloped ramp" does this indicate that the VA is requiring only one of the four semi docking ramps to be sloped, or does the VA want four sloped ramps? Four sloped ramps are not an issue, however, based on the concept layout, the compactors location will have to be on level ground.The VA is requiring all four docks to be able to receive a semi-trailer, so a sloped down ramp is only required if needed to meet the ASR's of unloading a semi-trailer at the dock. One dock will be suitable for a large trash compactor, one dock needs a lift that can go from semi-trailer dock height and lower, and two additional docks that are semi-trailer height.
