40 40 Calaveras County Page 2 Planning Department December 21, 1978 3. Although the EIR made no mention of it, complaints from nearby residents and our experience with other landfill operations leads us to feel that a problem may arise with papers and litter blowing out of trucks as they go to and from the disposal site. A litter control plan should be included as one condition for permit approval. 4. Contingency plans should be made to deal with any spillage of cannery waste that might occur on public roadways. I would also suggest that any use permit be granted for only one year, with the requirement that an additional public hearing on the permit be held at the end of that year to determine if the permit should be made permanent or merely extended on a yearly basis. This measure, when employed in San Joaquin County, has acted as an incentive to project proponents to meet the County's conditions. Also, it makes project proponents more willing to resolve problems with surrounding residents before they reach County officials, and gives the project's neighbors a chance to make officials aware of any unexpected problems that arise during actual operation. Again, I appreciate having the opportunity to review this EIR and make some suggestions. My constituents in San Joaquin County oppose the granting of a use permit for this operation, and I do support them in their stand. I realize that the decision is up to Calaveras County, of course, and offer the above suggestions in the hope that, if Calaveras County officials should decide to permit the proposal, that some of the project's more objectionable aspects would be minimized.
