5.14 WASTE MANAGEMENT
<br /> permit prohibits the acceptance of some types of waste,including radioactive (except
<br /> geothermal)waste,flammables,medical waste,PCB, dioxins, air-and water-reactive wastes,
<br /> and strong oxidizers.
<br /> Additional Facilities
<br /> In addition to hazardous waste landfills,there are numerous offsite commercial liquid
<br /> hazardous waste treatment and recycling facilities in California. Some of the closest facilities
<br /> include Clean Harbors, LLC in San Jose; Evergreen Environmental Services in Davis;
<br /> Evergreen Oil Company in Newark; Ramos Environmental Services in West Sacramento;
<br /> and Veoliaes (Onyx) Environmental Services in Richmond (DTSC,2008b).
<br /> 5.14.2.4 Waste Disposal Summary
<br /> The LEC facility will generate nonhazardous solid waste that will add to the total waste
<br /> generated in San Joaquin County and in California. However,there is adequate recycling
<br /> and landfill capacity in California to recycle and dispose of the waste generated by the LEC.
<br /> It is estimated that the LEC will generate approximately 205 tons of solid waste during
<br /> construction (including approximately 2 tons of solid hazardous waste) and about 42 tons a
<br /> year from operations (including approximately 3 tons of solid hazardous waste).
<br /> Considering that 1,782,980 tons of solid waste were landfilled in San Joaquin County in the
<br /> year 2007,LEC's contribution will likely represent less than one percent of the county's total
<br /> waste generation (CIWMB,2008b). Therefore,the impact of the project on solid waste
<br /> recycling and disposal capacity will not be significant.
<br /> Hazardous waste generated will consist of waste oil,filters, selective catalytic reduction
<br /> (SCR) and oxidation catalysts,and fluids used to clean piping. The waste oil, and catalysts
<br /> will be recycled. Hazardous waste treatment and disposal capacity in California is more
<br /> than adequate. Therefore,the effect of LEC on hazardous waste recycling,treatment,and
<br /> disposal capability will not be significant.
<br /> 5.14.3 Cumulative Effects
<br /> A cumulative impact refers to a proposed project's incremental effect together with other
<br /> closely related past,present,and reasonably foreseeable future projects whose impacts may
<br /> compound or increase the incremental effect of the proposed project (Public Resources Code
<br /> §21083; California Code of Regulations, title 14, § 15064(h), 15065(c),15130, and 15355).
<br /> In July 2008,21 projects were in various stages of progress with the City of Lodi. Most of
<br /> these projects are zoned residential,with a few office,mixed use,institutional,commercial,
<br /> and industrial projects proposed. All of these projects are more than 4 miles from the
<br /> proposed project,except for the improvements at the White Slough WPCF (Draft EIR issued
<br /> March 28,2008),which is adjacent to the project site (Bereket,2008;City of Lodi,2008).
<br /> In July 2008, 72 projects were in progress with the San Joaquin County Building
<br /> Department. These projects were located in Acampo, Escalon,Farmington,French Camp,
<br /> Linden,Lodi,Lockeford,Manteca, Ripon,Stockton, and Tracy. The types of projects
<br /> included residential projects such as new residences,additions and remodels to existing
<br /> 1 For the purposes of this discussion,San Joaquin County sorted its projects by project cost,and provided a list of the projects
<br /> costing$25,000 or more.
