(DHK) is pleased to provide this evaluation of the potential odor impact to the surrounding community due to the proposed modifications to the Palomar Transfer Station. The evaluation includes the regulatory requirements related to odors and transfer station operations, factors which may cause an enhanced odor control strategy to be considered, recommended passive solutions to minimize odor impacts to the surrounding areas, with special attention to planned residential and commercial developments downwind of the facility, and the future Faraday Avenue Expansion. Introduction and Background The Palomar Transfer Station is located on Orion Street, approximately ½ mile northeast of the intersection of El Camino Real and Palomar Airport Road (see Figure 1). The Palomar Transfer Station .has operated as an integral part of the existing solid waste disposal system in North County since 1977, fucilitating the handling of residential and commercial waste as well as recyclables. Solid waste is collected by commercial haulers or brought in by private individuals and deposited at the facility. The waste is then transferred to trailers that haul it to landfills within the county for final disposal. The facility also includes a recycling/buy back center for the general public as well as storage, repair, paint, and wash rack areas for the truck and container fleet. The storage, repair, paint, and wash rack areas for the truck and container fleet operations are tenant activities and are not part of this analysis. The transfer station currently accepts 800 tons of solid waste per day and operates within the parameters of the latest CUP. With the continued growth in the City of Carlsbad and the surrounding communities, it is expected that this tonnage amount will be exceeded forcing the short distance haulers to drive further with small loads in order to deposit the waste collected. Therefore, it is necessary to modify the existing facility to accept the expected increase (total plant throughput of approximately 2,000 tons per day) in solid waste in order to reduce overall impacts to circulation and air quality that would be created by the small collection trucks driving greater distances to the landfills. Expansion of the facility and increased solid waste through at the facility may generate concern for odors commonly associated with municipal waste and green waste. Odor concerns may increase as residential and commercial development encroaches downwind of the Palomar Transfer Station (i.e., east of the site). Proposed modifications to the transfer station that are relevant to this odor control evaluation include: • Addition of 2 additional transfer bays on the east side of the 4 existing transfer bays (total addition of 6,700 square feet). • Addition of a second top-loading station.and waste loading lane for long-haul trailers affl ODOR EVALUATION PALOMAR TRANSFER STATION MODIFICATIONS ;ioo ----0 ;ioo 1100 AERIAL SITE MAP ----GRAPHIC SCALE IN FEET SEPTEMBER 2003 FIGURE 1 ODOR CONTROL EVALUATION -PALOMAR TRANSFER STATION JANUARY 2004 • Grading of the existing earth berm located on the east property perimeter to allow construction of additional truck parking Transfer Station Operations and Odor Profile: Transfer stations by definition and regulatory permit conditions are defined as "The trash goes in, the trash goes out. The trash does not remain on site for more than 48 hours." (Reference: Department of Health Services, Environmental Health, Solid Waste Program). Primary transfer station operations consist of Neighborhood trash trucks entering the trash laydown area and dumping truck contents on the tipping floor. Trash is then loaded onto large, enclosed long-haul trash transfer trucks that transport the waste to county landfills. Odors generated by typical transfer station operations are divided into two categories: 1. Municipal Solid Waste (MSW), and 2. Green waste. MSW (commingled types of wastes) generally has a variety of odors associated with the contents deposited in trash receptors. Odors are usually present during processing of putrescible wastes (waste which rot, such as food). Green waste includes grass, shrubs, and tree trimming debris and excludes; commercial and construction debris. Although a minor part of the transfer station operation, green waste begins to biodegrade (e.g. compost) if allowed to remain on-site for an extended period. Relatively strong odors are generated by green waste. To minimize the potential for green waste odors, the facility removes green waste daily. Odors at the transfer station are controlled by processing waste (loading into transfer trucks) in a timely fashion. Typically, waste removal occurs at the Palomar Transfer Station within 24 hours of receipt, as odors from MSW and green waste become more intense if the waste remains stationary for more than 48 hours. Odorous loads are prioritized for immediate processing and removal. Regulatory Direction on Odors: Neither the federal Environmental Protection Agencies (EPA), California Integrated Waste Management Board (CIWMB), nor the California Air Resources Board (CARB) have established criteria for odor. Odor is considered a nuisance. • According to the CIWMB's 1995 Inspection Guidance for Transfer Stations, MRFs, and WTEFs: "Each station shall be operated and maintained so as not to create a public nuisance." • California Code of Regulations (CCR) Title 14 § 17225.45 states: " 'Nuisance' includes anything which is injurious to human health or is indecent or offensive to the senses and interferes with the comfortable enjoyment of life and property, and affects at the same time an entire community or neighborhood or any considerable number of persons although the extent of annoyance or damage inflicted upon the individual may be unequal and which occurs as a result of the storage, removal, transport, processing or disposal of solid waste. A facility should be considered in violation of this standard if a major nuisance, other than dust, litter or odor (which are already covered by other standards) is observed." 3 ODOR CONTROL EVALUATION -PALOMAR TRANSFER STATION JANUARY 2004 • California Code of Regulations (CCR) Title 14 §17537, Odor Control, states: "The station shall not be a source of odor nuisances." According to the Odor Control regulations, odors are excessive if they are detected at objectionable levels to the inspector at a property boundary which is bordered by residences or other sensitive receptors. The Palomar Transfer Station is not bordered by residences or other sensitive receptors at this time. Regional Odor Control Programs: Facilities within San Diego County use a variety of passive and active odor-control systems. Most facilities use passive methods (e.g. minimal storage time, housekeeping practices) as the main waste management component of odor control programs. Several facilities, mainly due to their urban setting, handling of green waste, construction debris, and dust suppression requirements, have added active odor/dust systems, which include: • chemical mist or fog generators • enclosed and ventilated transfer stations Existing Odor Control: Since 1977, the Palomar Transfer Station has successfully implemented a comprehensive passive/active odor control program. The key elements of the odor program include: • • • • • • • First-in, first-out loading policy Odorous loads given priority loading privilege Rigorous housekeeping and mandatory end of day sweep 24-hour guideline for trash removal within facility during the week. Weekends are an exception due to the requirement to allow residents to dump waste at the station on Saturdays. Some waste dumped late in the afternoon on Saturday cannot be transferred to the landfill until Monday since the landfill is closed on Sunday High density polyethylene (HDPE) curtains at the long-haul trailer entrance Earth berm on north and northeast perimeter of site Recent installation of an active odor and dust suppression system (Fall 2003) Active Odor and Dust Suppression System Recently, the Palomar Transfer Station has installed an active fogging odor and dust suppression system as a facility enhancement. The active system consists of a SL-1000 Odor Eliminator High Pressure Fogging Odor Control System with approximately 40 nozzles as supplied by NCM Marketing, Inc. Attachment 1 provides manufacturer's information on the active odor fogging system. On January 28, 2004, personnel from Greystone Environmental Consultants, City of Carlsbad, DHK and the applicant toured the facility to evaluate the active odor/dust suppression system, operating criteria, maintenance schedules, flexibility of system (manual and/or automatic), non-operating configuration(no trash transfer operation) and training records. It appears the active system has substantially reduced dust migration, as compared to the inspection in early fall 2003, suppresses odors, provides the operator sufficient flexibility in operation and is properly installed. 4 ODOR CONTROL EVALUATION -PALOMAR TRANSFER STATION JANUARY 2004 Odor Evaluation Conclusions: Based on review of the modification plans, type of waste to be handled, site inspections, regional transfer station assessments_ and review of the proposed land use in close proximity of the facility, the following odor evaluation conclusions can be drawn: I) Significant increases in odors would not be anticipated due to the proposed modifications relative to existing conditions. 2) The existing active and passive odor program elements appear to be adequate for the foreseeable future.

Our manufacturing and development company has had over 25 years of experience in the development of diverse, new technologies and holds several patents based upon their research. Our products are all manufactured in our modem 100,0d0 square foot manufacturing facility in New Jersey. We maintain an active research and development program to allow our company to utilize and enhance odor control technology. SL-1000 is a concentrated odor control product; formulated to eliminate ma1 odors associated with municipal garbage and sludge. The product is effective at low use dilutions offering optimum performance and low use cost. When prope!lY diluted for the specific application, SL-1000 is completely safe. The extremely low toxicity ingredients in SL-1000 include many components on the FDA "GRAS" list of cosmetic and food additives. All components are biodegradable. As indicated on the safety data sheet, the product should not be ingested and contact of the concer.ttrate with skin and eyes should be avoided. When used in an atomizing application, it should be diluted one part of concentrate to between 200 and 500 parts of water. When properly used at these dilutions, the product is non-irritating. Although SL-1000 contains no hazardous components, use of excessive concentrations in atomizing applications may cause irritation. The product should always be properly diluted. Our technical sales representative will assist in determining the proper dilution for optimum performance without adverse effects on personnel. ODOR NEUTRALIZATION The odor neutralization process is effective against certain specific types of waste related odors. These are typically derivatives of sulfur and ammonia. SL-1000 contains a highly effective odor neutralization system to address this class of odors and convert them into odor free, stable, non-harmful compounds. Extremely good results can be achieved in a closed system, such as a scmbbef; :· where directed contact with the odorous air stream is achieved. fu a transfer station or an open lanclfii.• neutralization process is less effective due to the large areas and air volumes needing control and limitations on saturation contact. The correct product application system utilized will greatly enhance the performance of the product and allow the achievement of the best results. NCM Odor Control's experts will work with you in the selection of the most suitable system for your site. ODOR ELIMINATION Odor elimination is the completion of the process begun by the neutralizing components. SL-1000 is formulated with a balanced combination of natural botanicals and non-toxic odor modifiers, which are utilized to change the perception of malodor. This process involves the modification of the perceived malodors generated by waste to be interpreted by our olfactory senses as non-offensive. The goal of this step in the odor elimination process is to develop a relatively neutral odor condition. This can be compared to a vacuum waiting for something we recognize as pleasant to fill it. At this point, the .synergy of a compattole fragrance utilized in the formulation will effectively direct the olfactory senses. This is an essential step in the completion of the odor elimination process. The fragrance can be determined by geographic or personal preference. SL-1000 has been formulated with several compatible fragrance notes to meet these varied preferences or operational requin~ments. This completes the process where malodors that have been subjected to-neutralization, modification and redirection. The final result is ODOR ELIMINATION. December 8, 2003 Mr. Rodrigo Huertero Palomar Transfer Station 5960 El Camino Real Carlsbad, CA 92008 Dear Rodrigo, NCM MARKETING INC. 425 Whitehead Avenue South River, NJ 08888 It was a pleasure working with you and your staff while NCM installed your new mistjpi - systen.i. After staying at your site for a couple of days I would like to make the follpwittg reconimendations: 1. lJ~e the SL 1000 neutralizer in the misting system. The system normally runs on a ~00: I .dilution ratio but since the system is mainly for dust control the dilution rf!.t~o-can be 400: 1 (which is indicated on the attached ratio chart) 2. Bf setting up the system mainly for dust control the chemical pump can be llliphlgged and the system can run on just water. This will not interfere with NORMAL operations. 3. Since the site owns a street sweeper SL I 000 can be placed in the water tank after it is filled. The nozzles on the street sweeper will not clog. This will also help for dust control as well as eliminating on-site odors. If the water tank hold I 00 gallons put a half gallon of the SL 1000 for 200 gallons use I gallon of SL 1000, etc. Ifthere are ever any questions or problems please contact Jesse or Jiggs directly. 10 03 02:16p Jif;t;S 0'Shields 8644298378 p...,fl\? t1d~'-'ii mc~T F~ l7#!loff\i\~ "'{\~~'1:.R. .:5ThTh,...:>.

SL 1000 Safety Description: SL-1000 is a concentrated odor control product; formulated to neutralize mat odors associated with municipal garbage and sludge. The product is effective at low use dilutions offering optimum performance and low use cost. When properly diluted for the specific application, SL-1000 is completely safe for it~ intended uses. The components of SL-1000 are non-toxic, with some of the ingredients included in the FDA "GRAS" list of cosmetic and food additives. As indicated on th,e safety data sheet, the product should not be ingested and contact of the concentr~te with skin and eyes should be avoided. If the product is sprayed or atomized, it should be used in areas with adequate ventilation. When used in an atomizing application, it should be diluted one part of concentrate tq between 100 and 200.. parts of water. When properly used at these dilutions, the-product is non­ irritating. Although SL-1000 is non-toxic, use of excessive concentrations in atornizing applications may cause irritation if inhaled. The product sho1i1ld always be properly diluted. Our technical sales representative,Y'ill assi~t. in determining the proper dilution for optimum performance without adverse e~c~~-on personnel. NCM Marketing Inc. 11819 Ellice St. Malibu, CA 90265 A basic description of the system that we design and manufacture at NCM is a user friendly locally represented and serviced, High Pressure Atomizing Odor Control Delivery System. This differs from some other systems that are sold in that they use low pressure, small nozzles and have no local representatives to assist with problems. The NCM System is a system that is designed for your particular site, not just a boxed unit. The nozzles that we use are BEX High Pressure Atomizing Nozzles. That have an internal filter screen to aid in the prevention of blockages and are easily disassembled should the need to clean the filter, unlike nozzles used in Low Pressure or Misting Systems. The Pressure Pumps that we use are sized for your need to provide proper coverage for your site with the capacity for moderate expansion. This Pump is oil lubricated to provide for long worry free use. Using High Pressure in a delivery system allows the Odor Control Chemical Products (SL-1000 etc.) to be atomized into a very fine vapor. This fine mist vapor then evaporates releasing the neutralizin~ capability to the atmosphere dispersing most odors present in the area. The NCM System uses ~ chemical injection pump to inject the Odor Control chemical directly into the spray line. This allows for the immediate point of dispersion control of the strength of the Odor Control chemical contraction. This differs from the other systems that require the premixing of Large Quantities of liquid for dispersion to the spray line. The distribution line that we use is a Marine Grade UV protected hose that is rated to' 3000 psi. This hose is flexible. We recommend that the distribution line be suspended to provide for high level of exposure to the site without interfering regular ground operations. The NCM System uses a 7-day digital timer that allows for programmable operations automatically or full manual control of the operation system. Another beneficial element of the NCM Odor Control system is an onboard Water Filter System with replaceable filter elements. The filter removes suspended elements present in all water. This aids in Long Term Worry Free Odor Control Operations. The ultimate benefit of the NCM Odor Control Systems and Chemicals is that, we at NCM, manufacture the Odor Neutralizing Chemicals in our own facilities, not mix some concentrate with water to create the odor control chemical. The product is manufactured to high QC standards with our on-site QC department. Our 90,000 sq ft plant is located in South River NJ and we are proud to show our customers where their product is made. At NCM we build, manufacture and represent our products locally so that if you need help with an odor problem we are there to assist you with any difficulty. -Fresh Air N Odor Co, i , / I '\ 'fr),, ..,, ' t /•' ,.,,, ,._ "', ,<;,, cl". , " ,.,-,:, <, ~: ON THE JOB IN HUNDREDS OF PLANTS WORLDWIDE NCM is an international leader in the supply of odor control products and technologies to a broad range of industries.
