The Grupe/SASSCO Development is proposed for the area. The landfill is located seven miles from the source of the refuse adding transportation costs, energy consumption and inconvenience for Tracy residents to deliver refuse, household hazardous materials, and recyclables. Area 7 - Industrial area at the proposed MacArthur Road extension between Grant Line Road and Eleventh Street. The proposed use is not permitted within the Industrial Specific Plan Area. Cost of land is prohibitive. Area 1 was selected as the most suitable location for the transfer station since it met all of the criteria, is within the city limits, is zoned industrial, is separated from residential property by Interstate 205, and is located near the source of waste. The proposed site was then selected since it was available at a reasonable price, has good access, and the surrounding land allows for future expansion. PROJECT LOCATION AND SITE DESCRIPTION The proposed project will be located on 2.82 acres of land in the City of Tracy, north of Interstate 205, approximately 250 feet east of the intersection of Holly Drive and Larch Road, on the south side of Larch Road opposite the City of Tracy sewage treatment plant facility. The proposed project is the establishment and operation of a solid waste transfer station to serve the City of Tracy, and surrounding unincorporated areas within short driving distance of the City (Figure 2). The service area is anticipated to be consistent with that of the existing City of Tracy Landfill. The facility, as proposed is anticipated to meet the solid waste transfer needs of the City for approximately the next 10 years. Generally, proposed activities will involve the collection and transfer of solid waste from commercial, industrial, and residential land uses. Five types of activities will be conducted on the premises in this regard: 1) Solid waste delivery, processing, and transfer from smaller to larger trucks, for off-premise disposal. 2) Delivery, processing, storage, and transfer of recyclable glass, aluminum, paper, metals, wood, cardboard and plastics. 3) Collection, separation, and storage, for off premise disposal, of household hazardous waste. 4) Repair and maintenance of disposal company equipment, including trucks, trailers, loaders, dozers, sweepers, and containers, (boxes and toters). 6
