in floor space or building size is not quite 50 percent of the existing building. The EHD has <br /> concerns that the facility operating at full capacity would not be able to safely handle the waste. <br /> f) Vehicle traffic:the project description indicates that the facility is proposing to increase vehicle <br /> traffic from 560 vehicle trips to 1727 vehicle trips per day. The site is confined and the tipping <br /> area is small. <br /> g) Provide calculations that show the number of vehicles that can safely unload at each of the <br /> tipping areas onsite. <br /> h) Provide information showing traffic patterns. <br /> i) Provide anticipated vehicle quelling time through the scales and tipping area. <br /> j) The proposed project description mentions that the additional hours of operation will allow the <br /> facility to handle additional vehicles.This is true to a point. Vehicles that arrive at the facility are <br /> not evenly spaced and tend to show up at approximately the same time. <br /> k) Indicate the area designated for vehicle quelling and explain how the area will accommodate <br /> the expected vehicle traffic. <br /> 1) Discuss the anticipated number of vehicles per hour. <br /> m) Tonnage: the project description proposes to increase the per day tonnage by 2.5 times the <br /> current tonnage. The design calculation does not discuss the amount of equipment that would <br /> be on the tipping floor in order to facilitate the processing of the waste. The project description <br /> does not mention how much area would be required for vehicle unloading (type of vehicle, size, <br /> volume of waste contained), or the number of vehicles that would be unloading at one time. <br /> The proposed project does not indicated if there will be a separate unloading area for the self <br /> haul customers or the number of waste screeners/spotters on the tipping floor during the <br /> operation. <br /> n) Provide a facility capacity study that analyzes the traffic and waste volume as it relates to the <br /> proposed changes and facility capacity. Include the calculations that will take in to account the <br /> space or area required to safely conduct the proposed operations. <br /> o) The project description on page 22 indicates that the facility does not knowingly receive <br /> Household Hazardous Waste (HHW). The facility currently collects antifreeze, waste oil, <br /> batteries, and paint. Revise to accurately reflect current site conditions. <br /> p) The project description on page 28 indicates that if prohibited wastes are identified, the hauler <br /> is required to remove the waste from the facility for proper disposal elsewhere.When a <br /> hazardous waste is identified, it is at that point it must be handled as a hazardous waste. The <br /> hauler cannot remove the waste from the site unless it is a hazardous waste hauler. Provide <br /> additional information clarifying the procedure in detail. <br /> q) The project description on page 18 of Report of Compost Site Information (RCSI) makes <br /> reference to a CEQA analysis done in 1999 and references a Solid Waste Facility Permit <br /> (SW FP).According to the Environmental Health Department(EHD)records there was no <br /> SW FP issued for this facility in 1999. Provide clarification regarding this statement. <br /> Conditions of Approval -6- PA-0800005 <br />
