• <br />COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT <br />CITY HALL <br />425 N. EL DORADO STREET <br />STOCKTON. CA 95202-1997 <br />� ko. <br />.: <br />March 24, 1995 <br />Mr. Al Olsen, Program Manager <br />San Joaquin County Public Health Services <br />Environmental Health Division <br />P. 0. Box 388 <br />Stockton, CA 95201-0388 <br />C <br />EAST STOCKTON TRANSFER/RECYCLE STATION (#39 -AA -0018), 2435 <br />EAST WEBER AVENUE, STOCKTON <br />(Reference your letter dated January 19, 1995) <br />Pursuant to your request, we have reviewed the documentation related to the five (5) <br />year permit review for the East Stockton Transfer/Recycle Station located at 2435 <br />East Weber Avenue. Based on our review, it has been determined that the existing <br />facility was allowed pursuant to Use Permit (UP97-61) which was issued by the City <br />of Stockton on December 20, 1961, for the salvage of waste paper (copy attached). <br />It has also been previously determined that this facility may accept and recycle related <br />nonhazardous commercial and industrial wastes, including scrap woods, cardboard, <br />and waste paper pulp. However, we have no evidence that this facility has ever <br />received a Use Permit to allow for the salvage of other commercial and industrial <br />wastes, including: glass, plastics, scrap metals, etc. <br />Since the existing Use Permit issued in 1961 did not limit the amount of waste paper <br />that may be processed or the number of commercial vehicles that may access the site <br />on a daily basis, an increase in daily tonnage of waste paper and related products <br />and/or in the number of commercial vehicles accessing the site would be allowed <br />under that Use Permit. Therefore, pursuant to the California Environmental Quality <br />Act (CEQA) Guidelines, the existing facility and any operational changes permitted by <br />the existing Use Permit would be Statutorily Exempt from CEQA (Section 15261 - <br />"Ongoing Project"). However, should the owner/operator of this facility wish to <br />expand the operation to allow the recycling/transfer of other solid wastes, not <br />presently covered by the existing Use Permit, an application for a rezoning from M-1, <br />Light Industrial District, to M-2, Heavy Industrial District, and a Use Permit must be <br />submitted and approved. Those discretionary applications would be subject to CEQA <br />and would, therefore, require the processing of, at minimum, an Initial Study. The <br />"STOCKTON ...
