B13 The facility will accept recyclable household hazardous waste on a continuous basis, as is stated in the Project Description (Chapter 2.0) and in the Public Health and Safety chapter (Chapter 4.11). The facility will not routinely accept household hazardous waste. The facility may, however, be used periodically for household hazardous waste events coordinated and sponsored by San Joaquin County. The discussion of household hazardous waste in Chapter 2.0 has been clarified based on this comment from Public Health Services. B 141$ The information has been acknowledged. No further response is required. B15 A hazardous waste storage locker will be used for the temporary storage of hazardous materials that may be separated from the refuse. The Project Description (Chapter 2.0) has been revised to include this information. B16 The information has been acknowledged. This requirement will be attached to the approval of the Use Permit for which this EIR is being prepared. B17 The length of time that finished compost and recycled products remain at the station will depend on the quantities and market conditions available at any given time. The storage of these materials will be in accordance with all applicable regulations and will not pose any health or safety hazards. B18 The information has been noted. Chapter 4.5, entitled Water Resources, has been revised. B19 Appendix C,Table C-1, contains a summary of project trip generation that includes the type of truck trips, self-haul trips, and employee trips for the facility. B 20 Although the author of this comment does not indicate "why" the projected trips should be estimated in terms of PCE's, one could assume it is due to the influence heavy vehicles (e.g., trucks) have on the operation of roadways and intersections. The term PCE recognizes that a truck may represent more than one standard automobile in terms of vehicle length. For signalized and unsignalized intersections, this analysis used procedures and methodology from the ' 1985 Highway Capacity Manual. For signalized intersections, the methodology requires an adjustment to the saturation flow rate of an intersection approach to account for a user supplied or default percentage of heavy vehicles in the traffic stream. For unsignalized intersections, heavy vehicles are converted to PCE's during the analysis procedure based on user supplied or default values. ER-93-1 - 15 - (11-23-93)
