Dear Hr. Rernley:
Frequery Interrerence at the Palomar Solid Waste Transfer Station.
These seem highly satisfactory. Me nate that a 'before' and 'after' test will be performed. It uou?d be very infarmative ta us'ta have one of us present when the tests are perfomd. Thus please could you contact Dr. William Coles (452-2703. Secretary 452-3603). when the 'before' test will be scheduled. Ir the (presumably unlike?y) eventuality that the measures in the control plan do not achieve the 80 dB (60 d8 source suppression plus X) dB shielding by building) of suppression from the lOD0 HP system, what further measures would be attempted? The report does not address this gue~tio~.
I will be away until ffecember 27th and meanwhile Qr. Wftliam Coles will
be dealing with this question.

Re: Palonsr Solid Waztr Transfer Station City of Carlsbad Conditional Use Permit Noise Control
Dear Jdw,
The City of Carljirad in the Conditional Use Pemdt has restricted the noise le-rel at the prbperty lines of the 21 acre site to not sxczed a level greater than 65 D. B. A.
The plrst facility inspected was the New Orleans Plant. At this plant we were not in a position to take sound readkgs, as we were llnlted by the ontier of the plant to view the operation only. These facittirs would be comparahie with the Palomar Plant.

SUBTECT- Correction to Preliminary hkrlse Study for the Palmar Solid Waste Transfer Station - - EDA Project Yo. 07-51-?0405
A preliminary noise study for the Paloaar SolLd Waste Transfer Station was sent to yo^ on 6 Yoveaber 1978 for your revzew.
first paragraph in that report mistakenly stated that the City of Carlsbad's Conditronal Use Permit (CUP) restricts the noise level at the property lines of the Zi-acre site ta 65 db(Af, correct noise level should be 60 db(A).
In addition to this preliminary noise study, vc have requested the Department of Transportation tu conduct P suppleaental noise study to measure the ambient noise level [Leq) at the property line of the 21-acre site sometime in Ignuary 1979.
This wiIl provide 4s with a standard by which to compare the measured noise level once the shredding operation 5egins.
Should the present ambient noise leveI (L ] exceed 60 db(A?.
we may ask the City of Carlsbad for a wai% of Condition Na.
3 of the CUP.
If you hake any further questions, please contact John Pastore at 565-5323.

The transfer operation wiU cost about three-quarters of a mill
iollars per year. This is roughly 25 percent higher than the opera1
costs of a landfill. As technology increases, and resource recoveq

vehicular traffic . The noise generated by the shredder
will be in the range of 95-100 &(A) at distance of 50 feet. Depending o

noise level would be reduced to 55’ &(A) at a distance of 500 feet. This

Recovery of recyclable material will also be done at the project site
Because of the current shortage of available landfill sites, and
large volume of solid wastes generated annually in the county, an alt

Thank you for the opportuctty to respond to the drat; E.I.R. for the subject project which Is a ,reposed faclTity tinmedia-e'y adjacent to the administration and operations center of the Carlsbad Hunicipal Water Dfstrict. Ye habe reveiwed the draft E.I.R. fn detail and
1. With respect to putlic Mate? service to the proposed facility,
Log #77-7-34 - Carlsbad Mvnicip31 Water Distr3cc
. offer the fallowing cornrnenes for your consideratton:
our District is working with the Cfty of Carlsbad and the County of Sdn Diego for the destgn and construction of an arterial Water mafn that will provide adequate water service and fire protection servfce for the proposed solfd waste crans:er station as well as a proposed City of Carlsbad operations center. Upon the completion of such facilities, this District wlll proyfde comptete public water service.
2. The draft E.I.R. contains conslderable inforaatfon regarding the impact of traffic upon the major nighways that wlll rervtce the proposed facilitles. We note i :omglete absence of an evaluatfon of the structural capatilfty of these highways to accomodate the addltional heavy truck traffic that wilt be generated by this new ftc:lity. Speciftcally, the section of Pslamar Airport Rcad =aster- ly of El Camino Real viithtn the City liqits of Carlsbad is currattly being systematlcalty destroyed by the heavy traffic. As a daily user of that fmpcrtant hfghway, I have noted the dramatic deterf- oration.

We have the following comments about tne archaeological sur-vey report for this project:
1. Nev record checks at San Disgo State University and San Diego X-sem of Man should be made. may have been recorded for the area since 1974.
2, The references to t5e reports by Carrico and Fink on page 5 are not correctly documented,
3. The last sentence on Fage 5 states the *the possibility of sites appeared to be much better.’ The meanicq is 1- not clear - better #an what?
Additional sites
5. Mitigation of the reported sites should at least contain, in one document, measurements, drwlngs and photographs of the slicks. The arcifacts .‘ound aa- cfated with them should be shovn on a scale drawing to illustrate their relative Locations.
