Project traffic would be part of the cumulative effect of complete buildout of the northeast industrial area. Mitigating all of the impacts associated with such buildout is beyond the financial means of any individual project, but should be equitably corrected by joint efforts. A traffic improvement fee linked to a Northeast Area Improvement Plan should be established by the City pursuant to section 66000 et seq of the Government code. The Granite Bay Traffic Limitation Zone study, Appendix B of this report, is an example of this type of plan.

California Integrated Waste Management Board Project Description Tonnage rThe last paragraph on page 2 regarding the Project Description will be replaced +� with the following paragraph. "The Solid Waste Facilities Permit for the transfer station allows a maximum daily tonnage of 300 tons per day. A Stipulated Notice and Order, issued on March 12, 1991, allows for the receipt of 450 tons per day, with peaks to 650 tons per day. This material is dumped and sorted in the 15,000-square-foot tipping floor building. Figures 4 and 4A show the tipping floor building and the existing site plan for the facility. The current facility allows California Waste to sort and recover up to approximately 20% of the volume as recyclable material." The pollution estimates for the future conditions at the transfer station were based on the peak number of vehicles coming to the transfer station in the year 2000. Since a certain number of vehicles can result in a varying tonnage of waste arriving at the site, depending on the type of vehicles, the worst case situation could result in a maximum of 3,250 tons arriving at the transfer station. Since tonnages are irrelevant in the calculations, the paragraph should read: "For pollutant estimates for the expanded transfer station, it is assumed that 50% of the waste stream is recycled, meeting the goals of AB 939, compared to the existing 20% of the waste stream."
