Identify on the site plan the specific limits of the existing and planned composting area(s), showing relationships to property boundary lines and distances to the nearest structures. In 1973, when the Use Permit for the site was approved, the zoning designation for the area was Exclusive Agriculture (EA-10). The EA-10 zoning designation allowed landfill development subject to a Use Permit. The San Joaquin County General Plan (San Joaquin County Planning Department, 1976 and 1992) (General Plan) designation for the landfill is GA (General Agricultural) and the zoning is AG-40 (General Agriculture, 40-acre minimum lot size) (Figure 3), which also allows landfill development as a conditionally permitted use. The landfill (including the RRF) is designated as a Public Utility/Solid Waste Disposal Facility and is consistent with the General Plan and the zoning ordinances adopted pursuant to the General Plan. The landfill (including the RRF) is considered a major impact facility and is operated conditionally in the AG-40 zone under the Use Permit. Structures within 1,000 Feet of Site Boundaries Onsite. This section describes the ancillary facilities for the Forward RRF which supports efficient site operations. These facilities are shown in Figure 1. RRF Facilities Area. The RRF entrance and facilities area is where Forward personnel visually inspect each incoming recyclable load and monitor all RRF activities. This area includes the 12,000-square-foot RRF building, a portable office trailer, portable employee trailer, portable sanitary facilities, gravel-based parking areas for employees and visitors, a trailer with spare parts, an RRF equipment, transfer truck, and storage bin area, a 5,000-gallon water storage tank, and a 20-gallon per minute (gpm) water production well. Landfill Entrance Facilities Area. The landfill entrance facilities area is where Forward personnel inspect the manifests and regulate all landfill vehicular activities. This area includes a portable office trailer, portable sanitary facilities, and a landscaped area, asphalt-paved parking spaces for the employees and visitors, and a 1,000-gpm water production well. Equipment Maintenance Area and Storage Yard. The existing equipment storage area is at the landfill in WMU G-North and is fenced and equipped for routine vehicle main- tenance and major and minor equipment repair. A complete vehicle repair service facility is maintained on site with an extensive inventory of spare parts. The equipment maintenance area includes equipment maintenance trailers and parking areas for heavy equipment. The hazardous materials storage building and safety shower are also in this area. The fenced equipment storage yard is a secured area that protects landfill equipment from vandalism. This area will be relocated as needed to facilitate site development. Bin Storage Area. The bin storage area at the RRF is on the north side of the RRF, adjacent to the trailer storage. Three drop boxes from Levin Metal Corporation and drop boxes from the Delta Container Corporation are stored here on a regular basis. The Levin Metal Corporation's drop boxes are usually 18 cy and 50 cy.
