r) The project description on page 23 of the RCSI indicates that the facility plans to use a CTI system composting operation as part of the expansion. This type of operation requires the use of blowers to aerate the compost. Provide design information and calculations for the CTI system. s) The Project Description proposes to increase traffic to 1727 vehicles per day. The project description did not reference or provide a traffic study to support the proposed numbers. t) The Biomass Gasification Unit proposes to use 40 TPD of processed clean wood waste to generate 1 mega-watt/hour of energy for on-site use. The EHD needs more information on construction and operation of the biomass gasification unit and on the operation of clean wood waste recovery from the mixed C&D processing facility. Proper evaluation for this facility from the San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District is required. u) Expand the outdoor green waste processing operations to allow the processing of co -collected residential green waste with food waste, to produce compost feedstock and/or anaerobic digestion feedstock. The EHD will need more information on additional reasonable measures to minimize odors, including feedstock characteristics and quality, and OIMP. v) The phased approach to this project does allow the facility to incrementally increase the capacity of the facility. The first phase of the project appears to be suitable for the size of the facility. The Environmental Health Department (EHD) has concerns regarding the second phase of the proposed project. Prior to implementing the second phase of the proposed project the proponent must conduct an operational analysis based on real time conditions at the site. Based on the review of the operational analysis the EHD may require additional equipment, quelling lanes and changes to onsite traffic patterns to insure safe operation of the facility, prior to the approval of Phase II. The operational analysis must be approved by the EHD 180 days prior to making application for a revised Solid Waste Facility Permit. 4) SAN JOAQUIN COUNCIL OF GOVERNMENTS (Staff Contact: Steve Mayo, (209) 235-0600) a) This project is subject to the San Joaquin County Multi -Species Habitat Conservation and Open Space Plan (SJMSCP) and is located within the unmapped land use area. Per requirements of the SJMSCP, unmapped projects are subject to case-by-case review. Please contact the Council of Governments staff regarding the scheduling of a SJMSCP biologist to perform a pre - construction survey and any other mitigation measures. The pre -construction survey must be completed prior to any ground disturbance. This can be a 90 -day process and it is recommended that the project applicant contact SJMSCP staff as early as possible. 5) AIRPORT LAND USE COMMISSION (Staff Contact: Laura Brunn, (209)-235-0600) a) New land uses that may cause visual, electronic, or increased bird strike hazards to aircraft in flight shall not be permitted within any airport's influence area; b) Glare or distracting lights which could be mistaken for airport lights, reflective materials are not permitted to be used in structures or signs (excluding traffic directional signs); C) Sources of dust, steam, or smoke which may impair pilot visibility; d) Sources of electrical interference with aircraft communications or navigation. No transmissions which would interfere with aircraft radio communications or navigational signals are permitted; e) Any proposed use, especially landfills and certain agricultural uses, that create an increased attraction for large flocks of birds; and Conditions of Approval - 7 - PA -0800005
