ATTACHMENT TO USE PERMIT APPLICATION I. Description of the Proposed Proiect Kellogg Garden Products has been "Helping People Create Beautiful Landscapes and Gardens"for 75 years by wholesaling high quality soil amendment products. A family-owned business with temporary production facilities in Novato and Sacramento and with permanent production facilities in Carson and Ontario California,Kellogg Garden Products has been steadily expanding its presence in Northern California markets for the last five years. The expansion into Northern California,along with the August 1999 acquisition of Cascade Forest Products, one of the Northern California leaders in sales of premium soil amendment products to independent nurseries,has created a need to consolidate production and distribution activities in a centralized facility to cost effectively service Northern California. With the approval and guidance of San Joaquin County and the community of Lockeford,Kellogg Garden Products intends to create the manufacturing,warehousing and distribution facility,replacing the facilities in Novato and Sacramento,that will ensure its success in the Northern California market. Essentially,the Novato operation will be relocated to the Lockeford site. Thus where applicable,copies of permits associated with that operation have been included for reference. These permits include the air quality permit from the Bay Area Air Quality Management District(Kellogg Garden Products operates under portions of permits held by Redwood Landfill,Inc. Those portions of the permit pertaining to Kellogg Garden Products operations are so noted on the copy contained herein). H. Employees(number) Employee Classification Anticipated Count Management/Supervision 5 Clerical/Office Staff 3 Equipment Operators 8 Packaging and Utility Laborers 10 Equipment Repair and Maintenance 3 Estimated Total 29 III. Customers per Shift (In-and outbound truck and trailer traffic) Plant capacity will commence at approximately 2 million packages annually. This equates to roughly 1,800 truck and trailer loads. Assuming that a truck and trailer load of raw materials must enter the site for each load that leaves, the combined traffic furnishing raw materials for production and finished goods shipment to wholesale customers would total 3,600 vehicle trips annually. To be conservative, an additional 400 annual vehicle trips are included in the attached analysis, "Expected Daily Vehicle Trips."
