I I , I I I PALOMAR TRANSFER STATION I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I INTRODUCTION The Palomar Transfer Station has operated as an integral part of the solid waste disposal system in the North County since 1977. This facility facilitates the handling of residential & commercial waste, as well as recyclables. Solid waste collected at the facility is transferred to trailers for final disposal at area landfills. The County of San Diego (Airport Division) is the property owner of the transfer station site. The City of Carlsbad leases the site from the County, which then sublets the site to Palomar Transfer Station, Inc. (a wholly owned subsidiary of Allied Waste Industries, Inc.). In addition to waste transfer, the facility also includes a recycling/buy-back center, which will be expanded to include a waste oil-recycling component. Green materials such as yard and landscape clippings are also collected to be processed and recycled into mulch and alternative landfill cover. As the operator, Palomar Transfer Station, Inc. is committed to meeting the City of Carlsbad's existing and future solid waste processing needs, as well as providing services for its neighboring communities. --------------PALOMAR TRANSFER STATION I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I HOST BENEFITS SUMMARY ► Potential Annual City income of $1 .82 million through Franchise Fee for waste processed thru facility (at full implementation).

No mitiqation is required. The analysis contained in EIR 03-04 concluded, based on field surveys ( Mestre Greve Associates, 2004) that the project does not and will not Noise: generate noise levels that approach the Noise Ordinance limits, therefore, the project will not result in an off-site noise impact due to on-site activities. No mitigation is required. The following air quality mitigation measures will be effective in reducing airborne fugitive dust and particulate emissions from construction and operation activities: 1) All clearing Air Quality /Odor/Dust: and grading activities shall cease during periods of high wind. 2) The Developer shall employ existing fogging systems during trash dumping and loading operations. 3) The Developer shall limit vehicle speeds on-site to 10-15 mph. Implementation of the Palomar Transfer Station's landscape plan Aesthetics: along the perimeter on Orion Street for visual screening will reduce any aesthetic impacts to less than siqnificant. --------------PALOMAR TRANSFER STATION I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I FACILITY PERMITS Aaency Permit/ Approval City Of Carlsbad Conditional Use Permit Amendment, Grading & Building Permits County Department of Solid Waste Handling Facility Environmental Health: Permit Solid Waste Local Enforcement AQency (LEA) California Integrated Waste Concurrence with LEA permit Management Board issuance (CIWMB) Department of Toxic Hazardous Waste Permit or Substances Control Exemption Certificate Regional Water Quality Storm Water Pollution Plan Control Board (CWA §401 Certification) -----------PALOMAR TRANSFER STATION I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I ALLIED WASTE LANDFILLS IN SAN DIEGO COUNTY ► Sycamore Sanitary Landfill ► Otay Landfill ► Ramona Landfill ► Borrego Springs Landfill ~=================~ PALOMAR TRANSFER STATION I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I DEVELOPMENT COSTS ► Permit Processing ► Construction Costs ► Pre-Paid Lease ►TOTAL $902,700 $1,700,000 $3,100,000 $5,702,700 I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I CHRONOLOGY OF EVENTS 1977: County of San Diego permitted by the City to build & operate transfer station (CUP 140, 140A, 140B). 1982 -1984: Facility non-operational. 1984: Coast Waste Management leases transfer station site from County.
