PROJECT DESCRIPTION This request is for a Use Permit application to renovate and expand the existing Lovelace Transfer Station to better serve the long-term solid waste disposal needs of central San Joaquin County. The expanded facility will have a design capacity of 1,300 tons per day, compared to the existing capability of 350 tons per day. The project includes the acquisition of approximately ten acres of property from the two adjacent parcels and the construction of the following facilities: a 120,000-square-foot transfer building, a 9,000- square-foot maintenance/office building, and a 288-square-foot scale house. The operation will consist of the recovery of recyclable materials from the waste stream and the transfer of waste materials to sanitary landfills for disposal. The existing facility is now served by the following on-site services, which will be replaced by new systems: water supply by a private well, sewage disposal by an individual septic system, and storm water drainage to be collected in an on-site retention pond. The facility would operate seven days per week, from 6:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., and employ 12 people. Construction will be accomplished in the following three phases to allow for uninterrupted operation of the existing facility and transition to the new facility: Phase 1 Construction of the transfer building,recycling area, retention pond,fuel station, roadways east of the existing facility, scale house, scale pits, and the new entrance road north of the existing facility. Phase 2 Construction of segments of the entrance road and establisment of temporary detours between the existing and new facilities, installation of most of the landscaping, removal of the existing scale and scale house, and construction of the additional roadways. Phase 3 Demolition of the existing transfer station, installation of remaining utility lines, filling of the existing drainage and transfer pit, and construction of the office/maintenance building, employee/visitor parking area, recycling drop-off area, transfer trailer parking area, and remaining roadways and paved areas.
