KLE/MFELOER Bright People.Right Solutions. ensuring that these requirements have been satisfied prior to the approval of site plans. Project Odor Impacts The project site is not subject to any known substantial odor sources, nor is it expected to generate any substantial adverse odors. As previously noted, the existing Lincoln Road facility was the subject of an odor complaint in 2005, but an investigation did not confirm the complaint The existing Weber Street facility has recently had an odor complaint filed against it. The complaint was forwarded to the project owner for investigation, and a report was I returned to CalRecycle. In response to questions by CalRecycle, the facility operators did not report any extraordinary conditions, and that local business owners indicated that no odors had been detected. CalRecycle directed the project owners to continue operating the facility in accordance with State standards and the conditions of the operating permit. The permit prohibits receipt of residential, mixed municipal and other types of putrescible wastes. If inadvertently odorous loads are received, the loads are the first to be processed and removed to disposal. No corrective action was indicated by CalRecycle. An e-mail string documenting this communication is shown in Appendix A. Although the investigation is not yet closed, preliminary information indicates that odors are not a significant issue at the existing Weber Avenue facility. The project proposes to undertake actions to control odor emissions. Residual j elements from recyclable materials are a potential odor source. The project would remove these residual elements and transfer them to the landfill daily to curtail possible odors. The processing of glass materials is another potential odor source. The glass processing may take place in the same vicinity as the partially enclosed material processing area at the east end of the project site, away from sensitive receptors such as residences. The processing also may be located on the newly acquired land next to the proposed scale location; if so, the operation would occur in an enclosed building to minimize odors. In addition, the project proposes the use of a mister to contain potential odor emissions. Odor impacts are considered less than significant. Level of Significance.
