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 existing and increased solid waste processing needs of the City of Carlsbad and adjacent communities, as well as providing a location for the general public's solid waste recycling needs.

I I I I I I I I I HOST BENEFITS SUMMARY ► City Franchise Fee (per ton) for waste processed thru facility ► Contributing to the City's 50% Diversion Requirement per SB989 ► Enjoyment of Most Favored Customer conditions ► Improved circulation and parking ► Enhanced storm water runoff management ► Roadway improvements ► On-site traffic queuing lane ► Enhanced perimeter landscaping I I I I I I I PROJECT ISSUES/SOLUTIONS PROJECT ISSUES ISSUES ADDRESSED The analysis contained in EIR 03-04 concluded, based upon field surveys Traffic: (RBF Consulting, 2004) that the proposed project would result in no significant impacts to traffic. 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.
