Chapter 1 <br /> PROJECT DESCRIPTION <br /> The proposed Recycling Programs are to be located within a <br /> portion of the North County Recycling Center and Sanitary Landfill <br /> (NCRCSL) facility. NCRCSL is a Class III sanitary landfill owned <br /> and operated by San Joaquin County, operating under Solid Waste <br /> Facilities Permit No. 39-AA-0022 . The facility is located on a <br /> 320-acre parcel on the south side of Harney Lane opposite Atkins <br /> Road, between Jack Tone Road and Clements Road (refer to Figure 1: <br /> Vicinity Map) . This facility serves the northern one-third of San <br /> Joaquin County, including the City of Lodi, and is permitted to <br /> receive 820 tons per day. The landfill currently receives an <br /> average of approximately 400 tons of waste per day. The facility <br /> is estimated to have a waste disposal capacity of 16 . 2 million <br /> cubic yards and a service life of 43 years (Solid Waste Division, <br /> San Joaquin County Department of Public Works) . <br /> The full-scale Solid Waste Recycling and Household Hazardous <br /> Waste (HHW) Recycling Programs will be physically located near the <br /> center of the landfill parcel and are accessible via the landfill <br /> access road from Harney Lane (refer to Figure 2 : Access Road and <br /> Landfill Layout) . Both programs are to be based within the <br /> Recycling Center, an existing 65, 000 square foot building adjacent <br /> to the access drive weigh station (refer to Figure 3 : Intensive <br /> Use Area Site Plan) . <br /> Solid Waste Recycling Program <br /> The County currently performs limited recycling of scrap <br /> metal, tires, and wood at the NCRCSL facility. Containers are also <br /> provided for the public to drop off aluminum cans, glass, plastics, <br /> and newsprint. <br /> In 1991, 135, 110 tons of solid waste were received at the <br /> NCRCSL (and its predecessor, the Harney Lane Sanitary Landfill) . <br /> In 1991, 2 , 210 tons of wood, scrap metal, and tires were diverted <br /> at the Harney Lane and North County disposal sites for recycling. <br /> The NCRCSL should be able to divert considerably more wood and <br /> scrap metal as well as other recyclable materials as the diversion <br /> program develops. <br /> It may also be possible for reusable materials to be <br /> segregated and made available to non-profit groups and the general <br /> public. <br /> 3 <br />
