M Attachment to Initial Study Independent Trucking Company,Inc. June 5,1996 Page 5 Customer Access: Transfer trucks and large commercial vehicles, containing mixed recyclable materials approach Independent Trucking from the north on Lincoln Street and proceed onto the truck scale. The office administrator records the loaded vehicle weight. The vehicle proceeds south on Lincoln Street, turns west on Church Street, north on Harrison Street, east on Sonora Street and enters the Sonora Street gate by backing in. The truck dumps the load on the tipping floor, exits to the east out the Sonora Street gate and returns to the scale. The weight is recorded in the office and the driver obtains a receipt through the security window and departs south on Lincoln Street. Truck loads of cardboard and mixed paper, including commercial and non-commercial loads approach and leave the scales in the same fashion as stated in the paragraph above, and enter the Harrison Street gate. These trucks dump the paper and cardboard on the tipping floor near the conveyor for the baler. The trucks exit the same gate onto Harrison Street heading north, and proceed to the scales in the same fashion as stated in the paragraph above. Small loads, including all pedestrian customers enter the Lincoln Street gate. The Independent Trucking attendant fills out a form and weighs each category of material on portable scales. The weights of each material is input on the form and the customer exits out the Lincoln Street gate and proceeds to the security window in the same fashion as the drivers of the large commercial loads. Anticipated Growth Within Next Five Years: Over the next five years this traffic is anticipated to increase as the tonnage of material increases. The greatest increase in traffic is expected to be in large deliveries made by commercial trucks and transfer trucks. Currently at Independent Trucking, an estimated 20 large deliveries occur in an average day and 26 occur on a peak day. These numbers are expected to increase to 22 and 27, respectively, over the next five years. Small deliveries, which include cars and pedestrians, currently average 60 per operating day and peak at 150 per operating day. These numbers are expected to increase to 65 and 162, respectively over the next five years, which is based on a three percent increase in population estimate. Managing Increase in Tonnage Limits: Adding available space for staging loads, receiving and shipping out product and processing materials on Proposed Expansion For Processing Area as shown on the site plan, and the addition of a gate access on Church Street will improve traffic management over the next five years.
