Although ADT and Mid-day peak hour traffic will grow on Lovelace Road, Airport <br /> Way and Roth Road as a result of this Alternative, these roadway segments and <br /> intersections will operate at acceptable LOS. <br /> 3. Air Quality <br /> The South County Refuse Alternative has been evaluated for project-related emission <br /> sources and carbon monoxide concentrations. (Refer to Table 17-2 and Table 17-3) This <br /> analysis shows that air emissions and carbon monoxide concentrations with the <br /> additional traffic generated by south County refuse disposal will remain well below the <br /> thresholds established by the San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District. (Refer <br /> also to Chapter 10.0) <br /> E. Alternative No.4: Alternative Sites <br /> As part of the original evaluation of the Lovelace site for expansion, the Solid Waste <br /> Division considered alternative transfer station sites to serve the Central County area. <br /> (San Joaquin County;October 17, 1989) These alternative site locations are indicated in <br /> Figure 17-3 and are evaluated as follows: <br /> 1. Lathrop -Interstate 5 at Louise Avenue j <br /> This alternative site would likelybe located at the southwest quadrant of I-5 and <br /> Louise Avenue. The City ofLathrophas General Planned this area for <br /> Commercial, which would not allow a solid waste transfer station. (Carter; , <br /> personal communication) Industrial areas on the east side of Lathrop would be <br /> more appropriate locations. This alternative site is preferable because of its <br /> accessibility,but would probably not be acceptable to the City of Lathrop. <br /> 2. Manteca-Highway 99 South of Highway 120 <br /> This alternative site would likely be located in a County-zoned industrial area <br /> along Moffat Boulevard just south of the Highway 99-Highway 120 interchange. <br /> This site has immediate access to regional transportation routes,but is located in <br /> the southerly portion of the refuse collection area. This would mean longer <br /> travel trips for refuse haulers from the Stockton area. <br /> This alternative site is acceptable from an environmental and neighborhood <br /> compatibility standpoint,but would have to be coupled with a second transfer <br /> station in the South Stockton area in order to meet the refuse disposal needs of <br /> the Central San Joaquin County area. <br /> 3. Falcon Energy Site-Mariyosa and Austin Roads <br /> This alternative site would be located at the southeast corner of Mariposa Road <br /> and Austin Road on the site of the proposed Falcon Energy biomass processing <br /> facility. This site has adequate access from Highway 99 via Arch Road and <br /> Mariposa Road, but is less centrally located than the Lovelace site. The on-site <br /> soil is classified as Jacktone clay (ST)which is classified as Class 3 (irrigated) and <br /> Class 4 (nonirrigated) soil. Although not classified as prime soil, the area is <br /> extensively utilized for commercial agriculture and is so designated on the <br /> 17-6 <br /> I <br />
