PUBLIC HEALTH SEI?VICES <br />SAN JOAQUIN COUNTY <br />ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH DIVISION <br />Ernest M. Fujimoto, M.D.,M.P.H., Acting Health Officer <br />445 N. San Joaquin Street • P. O. Box 388 • Stockton, CA 95201-0388 <br />209/468-3420 <br />January 19, 1995 <br />Mr. John Carlson, Director <br />City of Stockton <br />Community Development Department <br />345 N. El Dorado Street <br />Stockton, CA 95202 <br />Re: East Stockton Transfer/Recycle Station (/t39 -AA -0018), 2435 East Weber Avenue, <br />Stockton <br />The Environmental Health Division (EHD), as the solid waste Local Enforcement Agency (LEA) <br />for San Joaquin County, is in the process of conducting a detailed solid waste facilities permit <br />(SWFP) review for East Stockton Transfer/Recycle Station. A SWFP review is required every <br />five years according to Division 30, Public Resources Code, Section 44015. <br />Back r ound <br />East Stockton Transfer/Recycle Station is located at the northwest comer of Weber Avenue and <br />Filbert Street (2435 E. Weber Avenue) in the City of Stockton. An additional lot on the south <br />side of Weber Avenue, across from the facility, is used for employee and commercial vehicle <br />parking and bin storage. The facility is a large volume transfer station, not open to the public, <br />with a permitted daily tonnage of up to 512 tons per day. The facility is open Monday through <br />Friday, 7:30 a.m. - 5:00 p.m., and Saturdays, 8:00 a.m. - noon, and accepts primarily <br />commercial and industrial wastes. A new Report of Station Information (RSI), the document <br />that describes the facility's design and operation, has been submitted with this letter. <br />Five Year Permit Review <br />The five year permit review process consists of two separate reviews: A detailed review of the <br />SWFP and supporting documents, which as been done by the LEA, and a determination of <br />compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). The review of the SWFP <br />and supporting documents revealed only minor changes in design and operation of the facility. <br />In trying to assess whether or not there was a: need for CEQA review for the facility, the LEA <br />encountered some concerns regarding traffic flow and circulation around the facility. In 1988 <br />East Stockton Transfer/Recycle Station was receiving 27 commercial vehicles per day according <br />to the RSI from that year. The current and expected traffic flow according to the new RSI is <br />up to 65 commercial vehicles per day, over a 100 % increase in vehicles using the facility. The <br />LEA does not have the expertise in the area of traffic flow and circulation, and, since the facility <br />is within the City of Stockton, requests your assistance in determining the need for CEQA <br />A Division of San Joaquin Counay Health Care Services <br />
