APPENDIX "A" June 6, 1990 SITY OF STOQjTON - PROPOSED EXPANSION OF NNE AUSTIN ROAD IMMEILL The City has run out of room to store sludge at the treatment plant and the Port has given the City six years in which to remove the existing sewage sludge from their, property. As- ir part of the expansion of the LANDFILL, the City intends to apply for a permit to dispose of the sludge at the LANDFILL. One of the alternatives is a separate Class II facility. A second alternative is to co-dispose the sludge with the other solid waste. Another alternative is to combine the sludge with garden refuse for landfill cover. The City is investigating the possibility of conducting a composting operation on a portion of the 383-acre site. The City's garden refuse would be hauled to the site and composted. The composted material could be used for landscaping purposes and/or a possible source of daily cover for the LANDFILL. The Austin Road Landfill will require additional soil for daily and final cover whether it is expanded or not. It is anticipated that a portion of the land area shown on Exhibit "B" will be used as a borrow area for providing this daily cover. The CREEK cuts through the middle of the 383-acre parcel. In order to obtain the maximum use of the 383-acre site it may be necessary to realign the CREEK. 3. PROJECT SITE - BIOLOGICAL FACTORS The existing land area will be cleared of vegetation at the time the area is used for a landfill, composting, etc. The clearing of the land and realigning of the CREEK will have a significant adverse effect on the flora, fauna and wildlife found on or near the site. These impacts will be addressed in the EIR that will be prepared for the project. 4. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS - During the construction of the LANDFILL improvements it is anticipated that there will be an additional 8o trips per day to the landfill by construction equipment. Approximately 10 of these trips will occur during the peak hour. Approximately 90 trucks per day deliver refuse to the LANDFILL at the .present time.
