• 1.0 INTRODUCTION The Stockton Scavenger Transfer Station is located within the Stockton Scavenger Association Corporation Yard in Stockton, California. The transfer station began operation in 1968 and has operated as a Small Volume Transfer Station under Solid Waste Facilities Permit No. 39 -AA -019 since it was issued September 8, 1978. California Administrative Code (CAC) Title 14, Section 17441, requires operators of Large Volume Transfer Stations to review and update the previous Report of Station Information (or Plan of Operations for Small Volume Transfer Stations) every 5 years or when significant changes or modifications to the station's facilities or operations are being proposed. For the Stockton Scavenger Transfer Station, both these events are occurring simultaneously. The station's 5 -year permit anniversary is approaching in July 1988, and the management of the transfer station wishes to increase the quantity of waste handled at the facility from the 1987 average of approximately 12 tons per day to approximately 300 tons per day. The proposed expansion of operations at the Stockton Scavenger Associ- ation Transfer Station will provide an opportunity for increased materials recovery, increase collection and transportation efficien- cies, and reduce the overall quantity of material landfilled and the cost of disposal. The methods and objectives of the proposed expan- sion are consistent with the San Joaquin County Solid Waste Management Plan's (1986 CoSWMP) short-term goals of maximizing recycling and providing efficient and cost-effective collection service. However, the proposed increase in waste flow will require modifica- tions to both physical facilities and operational practices at the transfer station. Therefore, this Report of Station Information has been prepared to provide information regarding the proposed changes PJ1 1741802.00D 1 Emon Associates
