H. PROJECT DESCRIPTION implement its Source Reduction and Recycling Element(SRRE)and meet the solid waste P Y g ( diversion requirements of California Public Resources Code Section 41780. The NDFE indicates that the transfer station, which was diverting no materials at the time the NDFE was prepared, was permitted to handle up to 300 tons of materials per day. The NDFE anticipated that the transfer station could potentially divert up to 10 percent of the materials handled by the year 2000. The City's ERRE(1992)targets mixed paper,newspaper,corrugated cardboard, ledger and computer paper,certain plastics, glass, aluminum and tin cans,inert solids(asphalt, concrete), and telephone books for increased or continued recycling. The SRRE identifies yard wastes as a large percentage of Stockton wastestreams and sets a goal of composting all yard wastes generated within the City of Stockton. SAN JOAQUIN COUNTY The County's Integrated Solid Waste Management Summary Plan and Countywide Siting Element(1996)governs solid waste management for the County, with the County's NDFE (1994)and ERRE(1992)providing more specific plans and policies on these aspects of waste management. The Summary Plan incorporates(in summary form)the SRREs and NDFEs of the incorporated cities in the county. Under the County plan,each city is responsible for implementing its own SRRE and the County is responsible for implementing the ERRE and NDFE for the unincorporated portion of the County. The Plan indicates that the Stockton Scavengers Transfer Station is one of the County's nondisposal facilities. While the County plans focus on conditions and strategies to increase diversion rates in the unincorporated areas, the SRRE does indicate that expansion of the transfer station was expected to considerably increase Stockton Scavenger Association's recycling activities, and the transfer station is listed in the County NDFE as one of the facilities required to implement the County's SRRE. PROJECT CONFORMANCE The project is consistent with both the City and County solid waste management plans. The City's NDFE anticipates the expansion of the Stockton Scavengers Transfer Station(originally planned at 300 TPD) which would enable it to"sort recyclables in the future and help meet waste diversion goals"(City of Stockton, 1994). The City's ERRE expresses the City's interest in working with Stockton Scavengers Association and others to increase transfer station capability for material recovery through the establishment of mechanized operations(City of Stockton, 1992). Expansion of the transfer station is also anticipated in the County NDFE(San Joaquin County, 1994)and SRRE(San Joaquin County, 1992). Transfer station expansion is assumed as part of both City and County plans to meet waste diversion goals. The project would include diversion of materials targeted by the City's ERRE and acceptance and grinding of source- separated green waste,which would be transported off site for composting or other uses, would support City goals of increasing the composting of yard wastes. REQUIRED PERMITS AND APPROVALS The project would require the following permits and approvals: Stockton Scavenger Transfer Station Expansion 11.9 ESA 1990190
