H. PROJECT DESCRIPTION PUBLIC SELF HAUL The transfer station would accept public self haul wastes. It is assumed the facility would receive approximately 50 incoming public self haul loads(averaging 1 ton per load)per day in vehicles ranging from flat bed trucks and pickups to private vehicles. As noted,loads of vehicles less than 2.5 tons would be estimated by volume rather than weighed at the truck scale. After collecting a fee the attendant(stationed at the attendant booth shown opposite the inbound scale)would direct the self-hauler to an appropriate area of the tipping floor or the green waste pad so as to minimize proximity with commercial vehicles. Spotters and cones would be used to direct public self- haulers to the appropriate area of the tipping floor so as keep the public separate from the commercial tipping area and to minimize contact between the public and solid wastes,pursuant to state solid waste regulations (Maclsaac,2000). OUTGOING LOADS Transfer vehicles would enter the site in the right lane and follow the roadway south and west to two loadout chutes near the southern boundary of the project site. The roadway would be constructed approximately 15 feet below grade at the loadout chutes to allow overhead loading of the trucks from the tipping floor. The roadway would have a 10 percent grade leading down to the load area and an 8 percent grade leading out. Approximately 38 loaded transfer trucks per day,averaging approximately 20 to 22 tons per load, would transport the refuse for disposal at the Forward Landfill, North County Landfill,Foothill Landfill,or another permitted Class III landfill with sufficient space to receive it2. (In the near future Stockton Scavengers plans to use Forward, Foothill,or the North County Landfills, although eventually refuse may be transported to a more distant facility for disposal, such as WMI's landfill in Lockwood,Nevada(Maclsaac,2000). Approximately 36 loads per day of recycled materials, averaging approximately 7 tons per load, would be transported to market in rolloff vehicles. Approximately 10 loads per day of ground green waste, averaging 15 tons per load, would be transported off site in transfer trucks for composting or other uses. FACILITY MODIFICATIONS The increased waste flow into the transfer station would require a revision of the site plan considered in the previous EIR(EIR 5-88). Proposed changes include: • Revising layout of transfer and materials recovery areas: the transfer area would extend from the area proposed in the EIR westward to the vicinity of the stormwater detention pond, eliminating the collection vehicle parking and bin storage areas from this portion of the site. Vehicles would enter the site near the eastern boundary,east of the area proposed in the EIR. • Construction of an approximately 27,000 square-foot metal building to enclose the transfer station and materials recovery sort line. 2 Forward Landfill is permitted to receive 6,680 TPD and currently receives up to 3,700 TPD;the amount received is expected to increase to up to 4,700 TPD in May 2000. Foothill Landfill is permitted to receive 1500 TPD and receives up to 800 to 900 TPD,with an average of approximately 650 TPD. The North County Landfill is permitted to receive 825 TPD and receives up to 400 TPD,with an average of 250 TPD(McClellon,2000). Stockton Scavenger Transfer Station Erpansion 11.6 ESA/990190
