E. Public Services <br /> Setting and Analysis <br /> The project derives fire protection services from the <br /> Linden-Peters Fire Protection District and police protection <br /> from the San Joaquin County Sheriff's Office. These two <br /> agencies are providing service to the NCRCSL facility presently. <br /> The addition of the Recycling Programs is not expected to place <br /> additional demands on the Fire District or Sheriff's deputies. <br /> Mitigation Measures <br /> None required. <br /> F. Traffic and Circulation <br /> Setting <br /> Harney Lane, the east-west County road that provides access <br /> to the NCRCSL facility, is a lightly-traveled, two-lane rural <br /> road. The existing average daily traffic (ADT) volume on Harney <br /> Lane in the vicinity of the landfill is approximately 2 , 000 <br /> vehicles. (Traffic Engineering Division, County Public Works <br /> Department data) Peak hourly traffic is estimated to be 300 <br /> vehicles per hour (15% of ADT) . <br /> Analysis <br /> Based on the nine-month operating history of the NCRCSL <br /> facility (November 1991 - July 1992) , the current volume of <br /> traffic at the landfill is 180 ADT. The daily peak hour traffic <br /> occurs between 2 : 00 and 3 : 00 p.m. and amounts to 24 vehicles. <br /> These traffic volumes are considered to be well within the <br /> traffic circulation capability of Harney Lane and will not <br /> adversely affect non-NCRCSL traffic in the project vicinity. <br /> The Full Scale Solid Waste Recycling Program and HHW <br /> Recycling Program are estimated to have a non-significant impact <br /> on traffic to the NCRCSL. Several non-hazardous materials <br /> recycling facilities exist in the County, so individuals who <br /> wish to recycle non-hazardous materials will not utilize only <br /> the NCRCSL. Therefore, single-purpose vehicle trips for <br /> recycling only are not expected to add significantly to those <br /> trips to the landfill made by individuals who are recycling in <br /> addition to disposing of solid waste. In addition, it is <br /> expected that there will be an increasing number of household <br /> hazardous waste recycling facilities in the future. Therefore, <br /> the NCRCSL may experience an increase in traffic initially but <br /> will likely level off or decrease as more household hazardous <br /> 14 <br />
