OPERATIONAL STATEMENT For A Wood And Greenwaste Processing Facility Proposed At 2801 E. Louise Avenue. Manteca I BACKGROUND Weaver Industries, Inc. (Weaver's)has its base of operations located in Fresno. The company employs between 120-130 full-time people who perform services in the tree and wood recycling industry. These services include tree care, transplanting and related nursery operations, orchard removal, land clearing and even light demolition. These services have prompted Weaver's to permit and operate eight wood and greenwaste processing facilities in Central California. These facilities handle raw recyclables by various processing methods into usable by-products with markets such as, Bio-mass fuel, mulch , animal bedding, and soil amendments for landscape and agricultural. Our efforts in these forms of service lend to cleaner air quality by eliminating open field burning and also by diverting thousands of tons of materials which would have gone into landfills. 11 USE OF SITE Weaver's propose to engage in a multi-purpose use for this project. We intend for the most part to process wood materials inside the buildings. Processing will involve sorting, grinding, screening, conveying and storage of products. The result of these processes are wood chips, mulch, landscape products, soil amendments, and other related by-products. Secondary processes such as vermiculture on finished products and a bagging operation will eventually be incorporated into the program. The equipment utilized will be wheel loaders, tub grinders, chippers, and screening plants to clean and classify products, Additionally forklifts, trucks, and possibly some track type equipment may be used to improve operations. Weaver's will also need to use the outside areas of the property for bulk storage of wood and greenwaste products. There are large areas of concrete which will be ideal for storage.
