The results of the study were documented in a Transportation Analysis Technical <br />Study Memorandum prepared in January 2025 (Appendix A). The information in this section is <br />based on and adapted from the findings of the Transportation Technical Study. <br />ENVIRONMENTAL SETTING <br />As part of the project, the North County Landfill would expand its daily intake by 51 haul trucks <br />per day, which would result in a new total of 109 haul trucks per day to the North County <br />Landfill. The project would increase the permitted usage of the North County Landfill from 1,200 <br />tons and 850 vehicles per day to 4,000 tons and 1,200 vehicles per day. Currently, the landfill <br />serves approximately 450 vehicles daily. Up to six new full-time employee positions would be <br />added to accommodate the increase in truck trips and waste acceptance, in addition to the 35 <br />full-time and 13 part-time employee positions that are currently employed at the landfill. <br /> <br />The study area (Figure 3) consists of the project site frontage and access, and the following <br />intersections and roadway segments: <br />Study Intersections <br />• East Harney Lane/State Route 88 <br />• East Harney Lane/Jack Tone Access Road <br />• East Harney Lane Site Access <br />Road Study Segments <br />• East Harney Lane between State Route 99 and State Route 88 <br />• East Harney Lane between Jack Tone Road and Site Access Road <br />• State Route 88 between East Harney Lane and Eight Mile Road
