Box 265 Victor, CA 95253 RE : Central Valley Waste Services Permit Revision Dear Mr . Vaccarezza : This letter is in response to your correspondence of June 3 , 2002 . The following is in response to the issues outlined in your letter . The telephone conversation that took place on April 22 , 2002 , was a result of receiving copies of the letters you sent to the Central Valley Waste Services personnel over the past several years . I was concerned that some of the issues listed in the correspondence were not made known to the Environmental Health Department until now. Most of the issues listed in your correspondence appeared to have been resolved with the operators of the facility . The most recent correspondence expressed concern over noise on the weekends and you requested that the facility operators curtail weekend grinding operations . That correspondence was dated September 24 , 2001 . The earliest correspondence was dated August 45 1997 . I assured you that these issues would be looked at during the next monthly inspection . The issue of shrapnel from the tub grinder appeared to have been resolved due to the relocation of the grinder. You stated concerns over maintaining the recyclable material onsite for long periods of time might lead to vector problems . The facility is required to maintain a vector control program . Vector control was cited as an Area of Concern during the April 30, 2002 inspection and the facility operators have been working to correct the deficiency. The odors that were detected during recent monthly inspections have been light . Your concern over noise , dust and vibration has been noted . As I discussed with you during the telephone conversation, I have drafted a Stipulated Agreement with the facility operators to conduct a noise , particulate and vibration study within 30 days of operation of the new equipment . The agreement requires the facility operators to mitigate noise , dust and vibration levels that are determined to have an adverse impact within 90 days of the study. The agreement also requires that the operator consider the levels found in the EIR when determining adverse impact . I would be happy to provide you with a final copy of the Stipulated Agreement as per your request .
