As a result, without adequate alligation, the 60 dB(A) nois* contour produced bythis project will envelope an area of approximately 690 acres -- la contrast to the 21 acre project site itself. This iitpact can be miti-gated Mitigating Measure Construction of the shreUUer building should utilize materials whichwill insure that noise levels produced by project related activities Jo not exceed 61 JO(A) in areas outside of the 21 acre project sitesas a result of activities related to this project. ENCLOSURE A-2 2. Sewage Disposal (No Mitigating Measure Proposed; See the Following Applicant proposed project modifications) No lewtge facilities will be available in the area during the next two year? as a result at a moratorium by the City of Carlsbad for this area. The prrrosed project will produce approximately 4,000 gallons of waste •<ater per day created from approxioately 20 employees and periodic wastulown of equipment. Percolation tests Indicate that proper sewage disposal cannot be achit.-H via a septic tank-leach line systea. The applicant !ias presented the alternative of utilizing: 1) chemical toilets and a simp systeffl for the washdown of equipment and recycling of water; 2] the cleaning of machinery by seepers and vacuum devices rather than by a water uash-dovn method, or 3) other such methods, such as evapotranspiration. that will avoid discharge of waste water. 3. Scenic/Visual (See th« Following Mitigating Measure) The proposed project will result in a building 36-feet in height which •ill visually iapact a planned 40"-acre development lamediately to the east. Mitigating Measure The building exterior should be of a nature that the building will blend in with existing color and textures of the area. 4. Archaeology (Set the Following Mitigating Measures} Three archaeological sitei are found in or immediately to the project site. Two Uiiseno allling stations were reported in tne Archaeological Survey Report, prepared by the Oep»rt*ent of Transportation and a A third trail ca»p" (SOi-SO-92; . indicated by Chione sp. shell fragments littering the ria of an adjacent canyon, was later discovered by the Environmental Analysis Division. Vhese sites ate theorized to have been marginal elements of a more widespread regional settlement pattern involving vejitation and animal resources around Agua Hedtonda Creek and its aajor tributaries. The marine shell species probably were gathered pr-historically at Agua Itedionda Lagoon and consumed by « single Individual while enroute to some unknown inland destination.

Khat is the rationale for assigning both slicks to the Uiiseno cultureand the tools to the San Dieguito culture? Staff ftesponser Bedrock milling features are considered by «ost authorities to represent a late cultural intrusion into Southern California after l,<mo B.C. Since this sit* is located within the/ sphere of influence of the tuseno culture it Bight be- rationally ' concluded that these «illins s'ic>s are Luisena. However, the biisen* culture Is a historic aanlfestation. Since there is a lack «f evidence to indicate that this site is historic, it is also possible that these features represent Dr. decent "eighan's San Luis Rey IX complex. The writer of the technical report Interpolated a scraping tool to ne a "typical" San Dieguito tool. However, such a classification of artifacts 1* extreeely tenuous and should only be attanpted by a specialist well-versed in lithic classification. Therefore, the Division Archaeologist questions the "S«n 3iejuito type" interpretationfor the reasons provided above. '. Whet are the qualifications of the two people who performed the fleli survey?

I. Description of Pro.lect V A. Location The Palomar Solid Waste Transfer Station will be located about 1600 feet northeast of the intersection of El Camino Real and Palomar Airport Road in north coastal San Diego County. The project site is entirely within the city limits of Carlsbad. Vista is 4.3 miles to the northeast, and San Marcos is 5.3 miles east. Palomar Airport, a county-operated facility, is to the west across El Camino Real. (Map 1 - Vicinity Map) B. Objectives This project is the construction and operation of a resource recovery refuse transfer facility on county^-owned land. This operation will produce shredded solid waste materials which can be more easily disposed at sanitary landfill sites without using excessive amounts of cover material. . ' ' w ' V Recovery of recyclable material will also be done at the project site. Because of the current shortage of available landfill sites, and the large volume of solid wastes generated annually in the county, an alter- native to the potential shortage of landfill space is needed. This transfer station and associated landfill will serve as a replacement for the closed county landfills previously operated at Palomar Airport and Encinitas. The transfer station will initially be capable of receiving and processing 166,000 tons of solid waste per year and will increase to 220,000 tons per year by 1982. The facility will shred wastes, separate ferrous metals for resale, and compact the remaining material into large tractor trailers for efficient transportation to appropriate disposal sites. Perhaps the most important purpose of shredding is the savings in space and earth cover material. Shredded solid wastes compacts with less effort and has a greater density than unshredded solid wastes. Less material is required for periodic covering. Currently there are approximately 50 shredder operations in the U.S. and Canada. At this time shredding is most commonly employed to prepare refuse for landfilling; however, it is probable that resource recovery will provide the major impetus for future increases in the number of shredder operations. Shredding facilitates resource recovery by reducing refuse to small 4™ nominal size particles which can be processed by resource recovery equipment such as magnetic separators, air classifiers, and electronic sorting equipment. Most resource recovery systems require shredding as one of the first steps in the overall process. The facility will consist of approximately three buildings (1. . 6000 square feet and 36 feet high, 2. 2000 square feet and 24 feet high, 3. 3000 square feet and 24 feet high), conveyor belts, shredder machines, magnetic separators, trailer loaders, pavement, security fencing, utilities, parking and appurtenant items for complete operation. All processing operations will be done in enclosed buildings to reduce noise and odor impacts. Approximately 11,000 square feet of space may be required. Some buildings may be as high as 36 feet. The project site is within reach of sewer, electricity, and water services. A similar, although more extensive, resource recovery plant is currently operating in the El Cajon area. This facility has full resource recovery capability, while the Palomar project will only shred the solid waste and separate ferrous metals. co CO•pen CO CQ C3 O CO C3O S -po0)•n2 79i' JJ Q C91-1 O - Not included in this project, but planned for the future, are devices to recover additional resources from processed trash. Sufficient ground and building space will be reserved to add additional equipment, which might include the following items: 1) an air classifier which will separate paper and other organics from heavier items, 2) extracting equipment to separate out zinc, brass, copper and aluminum, 3) glass extraction, if it becomes economically feasible, 4) automobile and truck tire recovery, and 5) energy conversion process. II. Environmental Setting of the Proposed Project A. Topography The Palomar Transfer Station will be situated on 21 acres of County-owned land in the southwesterly portion of the City of Carlsbad. The general vicinity consists of gently rolling hills with an occasional canyon or creek bed among them. The elevations adjacent to the site range from 200 to 400 feet above mean sea level. The Pacific Ocean is 4.25 miles to tiie west. The site includes a creek, which is tributary to Agua Hedionda Creek, directly east of the project location. Elevations on the site range from 290 to 370 feet above mean sea level. Natural drainage crosses the property in a north to south pattern, until it is diverted southeast by a natural channel and eventually empties into Agua Hedionda Creek. B. Land Use There are several land uses in the general vicinity of the proposed Palomar Transfer.Station. The land to the west contains the Palomar Airport, while to the south is land owned by the County of San Diego in conj'unction with the F.A.A.'s clear zone requirements. To the southwest i of the site are 2 small buildings owned by the Carlsbad Municipal Water District * »«- 3 To the north are two light manufacturing businesses similar to the ones occupying the industrial park south of Palomar Airport Road. Most of the land in this direction has been disturbed by agriculture in the past, but is now vacant. The predominant land use in this area of the county is agriculture, although urbanization is reducing this land use. The Palomar Transfer Station is not in conformance with the City of Carlsbad's General Plan. Current zoning for the subject property is 0-S (open space). The City of Carlsbad is considering an amendment to its General Plan to designate the area for government use. The nearest residence is more than 0.3 mile north of the project site, while the closest private industry is 0.4 mile to the northwest. C. Biology . The majority of the project site is located in an area previously used for farming activities. It presently supports introduced and native grasses and forbs. Indicative species of this disturbed environment are mustard, tumbleweed, filaree, and various grasses such as wild oat. An inland sage scrub community (Thorne 1976) covers approximately one-half of the shredder site. This is the western fringe of a larger inland sage/mixed chaparral complex located east and north of the project. (Refer to Vegetation Map, included in the Biology Appendix) Species such as scrub oak, manzanita, lemonadeberry, and prickley-pear cactus were noted here. Animals observed on the site and in the vicinity are indicative of the disturbed conditions of this environment. Avian raptor species noted included one white-tailed kite, one red-tailed hawk and one turkey vulture. This seems to indicate a sub- stantial small mammal population such as various species of rodents and rabbits. This is further indicated by the large amount of fecal material containing mammal fur observed in this area. The scat was identified to be from the coyote. Other large carnivorous mammals expected are the bobcat and gray fox. No reptiles were observed as the biology field survey was conducted during the winter. Most reptilian species become inactive during this time of year. A pacific tree frog was heard in the inland sage community. A small drainage swale, containing no water, runs through this area. (Refer to Vegetation Map included in the Biology Appendix) No rare or endangered species were observed. The California Native Plant Society maps were checked for the presence of any rare or endangered plant species. These maps did not show any recorded rare or endangered plants growing in or around the project site. j If further information on this subject is required, the Biology Appendix is available for review at the Environmental Analysis Division, the Department of Sanitation and Flood Control, and the County branch library nearest the project site. D. Geology There are three geologic formations of sedimentary origin that are exposed in the project area. From youngest to oldest, these are the Del Mar formation, the Point Loma formation, and the Lusardi formation. The Del Mar Formation is the youngest formation in the project area and consists locally of fine to medium grained sandstones and mudstones with thin interbedded layers of shale. The age of the Del Mar Formation (_ is well established as Eocene on the basis of its stratigraphic relationship and its fossil content. The Point Loma Formation, the middle member of the Cretaceous Rosario Group, consists of dark gray to green shales with interbedded layers of fine grained, gray to yellow, highly cemented sandstones. The Upper Cretaceous age of the Point Loma Formation is based on abundant collections of mollusks, foraminifera and coccoliths. The Lusardi Formation, the lower member of the Rosario Group, is a massive boulder and cobble conglomerate with lenses of medium grained sandstone. In the project area the Lusardi Formation is composed almost entirely of weathered quartz diorite boulders and granitic debris. The Lusardi is generally thought to be overlain with apparent conformity by, and interfingered with, the Point Loma Formation. No fossils have been collected from the Lusardi Formation but its apparent stratigraphic position indicates an age of early Late Cretaceous. No landslides were found on the project site, but a landslide is present on the southeastern wall of the large canyon east of the site. The portion of the project site underlain by the Del Mar formation, should not be susceptible to sliding. If you require further information on this subject, the appendix r*is available for review at the Environmental Analysis Division, the Department of Sanitation and Flood Control, and the County branch library nearest the project site. (See Table of Appendices) E. Archaeology An archaeological survey of the Palomar Transfer Station site was f done by Janet Hightower, archaeologist with the Department of Transportation. 6 i Two small archaeological sites of minor significance were discovered and recorded. Site CE#123 consists of two small milling areas and a non-associated tool. Two grinding slicks and a San Dieguito tool were the only cultural remains present. Site CE&124 consists of one grinding slick with no artifacts or midden observed. If you require further information on this subject, the Appendix is available for review at the Environmental Analysis Division, the Department of Sanitation and Flood Control, and the County branch library nearest the project site. (See Table of Appendices) F. Noise The present noise level at the site is very low, with Lgo levels of 31 dB(A) during the night and 45 dB(A) during the day. On-site noise is generated from traffic on El Camino Real and aircraft noise from Palomar Airport. If you require further information on this subject, the Appendix is available for review at the Environmental Analysis Division, the Department of Sanitation and Flood Control, and the County branch library nearest the project site. (See Table of Appendices) G. Climate and Air Quality Temperatures are moderate in the project area. The mean daily maximum in July and August is 82°F but higher readings of over 100°F have been recorded during September and October. Minimum readings during the summer average near 60°F. During the winter months the minimum averages 42op while afternoon readings will range in the upper 60°F's. Precipitation is light in tfe Palomar Airport area. The mean of fourteen years of available records shows 16.28 inches per year. Normally, there are about 28 days per year with 0.10 inch or more of precipitation. Typically, this area receives about 233 clear days per year, 62 days of partly cloudy weather, and 70 cloudy days. The wind is usually out of the west or southwest, although winds from other directions may occur under various climatic conditions. Relative humidity during the winter months ranges from about 55 to 75 percent, while summer readings* might average about 5 percent higher. The nearest Air Pollution Control District monitoring station is in Oceanside, 8 miles to the northwest. There is a monitoring station in Escondido, but due to its inland location, Oceanside.-would more closely approximate the air quality conditions of the Palomar transfer site. Air quality conditions measured in total oxidants parts per million (PPM) at the Oceanside station during 1975 were: Average of Daily Number of Hours Maximum Hourly Exceeding Federal Period Averages (PPM) Standards (0.08FPM) January .04 7 February .04 0 March No Data 2 April .05 2 May .06 16 June .06 13 July ,06 4 August .05 5 September .08 37 October .07 38 November .07 29 December .05 9 If you require further information on this subject, the Appendix is available for review at the Environmental Analysis Division, the Department of Sanitation and Flood Control, and the County branch library nearest the project site. (See Table of Appendices) 8 H. Traffic/C irculation Access to the proposed Palomar Transfer Station will be provided from El Camino Real, a major highway, and Palomar Airport Road. El Camino Real extends from the City of Oceanside to within a mile of San Elijo Lagoon. Near the site, it contains 48 feet of driving lanes, 14 feet of two-way left turn lanes and 16 feet of_ paved shoulders. » Current Average Daily Traffic (ADT) is 7,000. The existing peak traffic capacity is 30,000 ADT. Palomar Airport Road connects Interstate 5 to the western fringe of San Marcos. It has 64 feet of paved roadbed width west of El Camino Real. East of El Camino Real the average width of Palomar Airport Road is 36-40 feet. Existing traffic is 4,000 vehicles per day, but the road can accommodate up to 18,000 ADT. Since 1974 there have been three accidents, all non-fatal at the intersection of Palomar Airport Road and El Camino Real. I. Energy The existing site is in an undeveloped state, and thus consumes or conserves no energy. III. Environmental Impacts A. Biology Most of the project area has been disrupted by previous agricultural activities. As a consequence, most of the construction (4-5 acres) and road grading will primarily result in loss of grasses and forbs. The majority of these plants are short-lived and would eventually be replaced by species of the climax community (such as laurel sumac, sage brush, etc...); therefore, their loss is minimal. 9 The construction of the solid waste transfer station will also remove approximately 4-5 acres of inland sage/mixed chaparral vegetation. This is a. relatively small portion of a much larger stand of inland sage/mixed chaparral vegetation. This stand extends approximately one-half mile north, 1,000 feet east, and 1,500 feet southeast of the project" site. * Approximately 10 acres of wildlife habitat will be lost due to construction activities. This loss will be relatively unimportant and have minimal impacts as the area is very disturbed. Animals such as small rodents and reptiles, incapable of escaping construction activities could be destroyed. Others may migrate to surrounding areas and compete with resident wildlife for food and shelter. Noise from construction and shredding operations could affect some shy wildlife species in the vicinity. California seagulls, scavengers of refuse, should not be attracted to this site as the refuse will be processed daily in enclosed buildings, compacted into trailers, and then transferred to a sanitary landfill for proper disposal. If further information is required on this subject, the Appendix is available for review at the Environmental Analysis Division, the Department of Sanitation and Flood Control, and the County branch library nearest the project site. B. Geology This project will not seriously affect the understanding of the geologic exposures found in the area. The project will be located on the highe] 10 elevations, away from the floor and lower walls of the adjacent canyon. If you require further information on this subject, the appendix is available for review at the Environmental Analysis Division, the Department of Sanitation and Flood Control, and the County branch library nearest the project site. (See Table of Appendices) C. Archaeology * Both sites discovered are of minor scientific importance. The recordation of them is sufficient to mitigate impact which will occur as a result of this project. Both sites have been submitted to the San Diego Museum of Man for recordation. If you require further information on this subject, the appendix is available for review at the Environmental Analysis Division, the Department of Sanitation and Flood Control and the County branch library nearest the project site. (See Table of Appendices) D. Noise The major source of noise, when the Palomar Solid Waste Transfer Station becomes operational, will be the shredding operation and vehicular traffic. The noise generated by the shredder will be in the range of 95-100 dB(A) at distance of 50 feet. Depending on the type of construction used for building and housing "the shredder, the 100 dB(A) noise level would be reduced to 55 dB(A) at a distance of 500 feet. This distance is based on the assumption that the shredder would act as a point source of noise and the noise dropoff rate would be 6 dB(A) per doubling of distance. The Federal Highway Administration has established'environmentally acceptable Leq levels adjacent to highways in terms of adjacent property use or development. The maximum Leq level for residential areas is 67 dB(A) 11 and for p*arks, cemeteries and similar facilities, 57 dB(A). No levels have ( been established for undeveloped lands. The estimated on-site sound levels can be evaluated relative to these criteria. California Vehicle Code Section 23130 specifies noise limits for certain sized vehicles, operating speeds and distances from the roadway. For a gross vehicle weight of 6,000 pounds or more at 50 feet from the center of the lane» of travel, the noise limit is 86 dB(A) if the speed is less than 35 miles per hour (mph) and 90 dB(A) if the speed is greater than 35 mph. Large vehicles are restricted to 80 dB(A) after 1977; 70 dB(A) after 1987. When the Transfer Station becomes operational, it is anticipated that the initial daily traffic volume increase on El Camino Real and Palomar Airport Road to the site will be 200 passenger cars and pickup trucks, 135 collector trucks and 35 haul trucks. The present Leq generated by traffic on El Camino Real and Palomar Airport Road near the site are 61 dB(A) and 70 dB(A) respectively. It is anticipated the increase in traffic will produce an increase in the Leq of both roads less than 4 dB (A) at 50 feet from the near lane of traffic. The noise impact on the property adjacent to the Palomar Solid Waste Transfer Station, along El Camino Real and Palomar Airport Road due to the operation of the Transfer Station and increase in traffic wiH not be significant. If you require further information on this subject, the appendix is available for review at the Environmental Analysis Division, the Department of Sanitation and Flood Control and the County branch library nearest the project site. (See Table of Appendices) E. Air Quality Air quality will be impacted both locally and regionally by this project. I Locally, the vehicle exhaust emissions now associated with the travel to the 12 Encinitas Landfill WiJ. be redirected to the Palomeu site. A 1982 projected maximum of approximately 35 tons per year of pollutants from vehicles bringing trash to be processed will be dispersed along the final two miles of the transfer station access roads. It must be remembered that 90% of these emission volumes (not the transfer vehicles moving shredded materials) are already existing at the Encinitas Landfill, and will simply be transferred to the Palomar site when it begins operation. The reduced trip distance for private vehicles and trash haulers more than compensates for the extra miles per trip by the transfer vehicles. Another beneficial local impact will involve the dispersal of shredded trash at a landfill. Approximately 4.4 tons/year of vehicle emissions will be conserved locally at the Bonaall landfill (currently the only existing landfill in the vicinity) due to the reduced heavy equipment required for shredded trash. If unprocessed trash were brought directly to the landfill, another bulldozer and scraper would be required for a total of six hours every workday. On a regional level a beneficial impact will result when this project is implemented. If this facility were not opened, the additional miles private- citizens and trash haulers would have to travel to get to the Bonsall landfill would be the cause of the increase of pollutants to the regional air cell. If you require further information on this subject, the appendix is available for review at the Environmental Analysis.Division, the Department of Sanitation and Flood Control, and the County branch library nearest the project site. (See Table of Appendices) F. Traffic Traffic on El Camino Real in the vicinity of the transfer station entrance is expected to increase by an average of 375 vehicles per day by 1982. This 13 additional traffic woul e comprised of 135 trash pack •, 3 trucks hauling ferrous metals for recycling, 200 private automobiles and pickups' and 35 prime movers (trucks hauling the shredded trash to the nearest available landfill). Three hundred seventy-five vehicles added to the existing traffic on either road, El Camino Real or Palomar Airport Road, equivalent to 750 ADT, will result in traffic volumes well within the capacity of these roads (see traffic table). The transfer station will be open 6 days a week, Monday through Saturday. It will result in no significant traffic impacts. The current adopted County General Plan Circulation Element (Sheet 4) shows both Paloraar Airport Road and El Camino Real as prime arterials with capacities of 40,000 each. The County's Integrated Planning Office has projected ADT's for 1995 of less than 30,000 on both roads in the vicinity of the project. Traffic Table Road Name Existing ADT Current Capacity (ADT) 1995 Projected ADT (IPO) *1995 Circulation Element Capacity (ADT) Palomar Airport (West of El 4,020 Camino Real) Palomar Airport (East of El 5,480 Camino Real) El Camino Real (North of Palomar 5,920 Airport Road) El Camino Real (South of Palomar 6,350 Airport Road) 18,000 18,000 30,000 30,000 8,000 27,000 19,000 30,000 40,000 40,000 40,000 40,000 * Road improvements would be constructed to provide this capacity only as necessaxy to accommodate population growth. 14 G. Energy The Palomar Transfer Station will net a surplus of energy on a comparison of consumption and conservation. The following is a summary of the energy "balance sheet." Section 1 - Energy Consumed 153,060,000 BTU/day On-Site Equipment Usage Transpor- tation of Shredded Trash 36,733,270 BTU/day Section 2 - Energy Conserved Reduced Public 65,015,126 BTU/day Driving Distance Recovered Metal 585,000,000 BTU/day TOTAL 189,793,270 BTU/day Reduced Equipment Usage at Landfill (After trash shredding) 6,076,180 BTU/day TOTAL 656,091,306 BTU/day As can be seen by subtracting the "consumed" value from the "conserved" value, a surplus of 466,298,036 BTU/day in the form of energy conserved, is realized. Assuming the shredder is operated 312 days per year, this results in a savings of 145,390,000,000 BTU's per year. This figure is equivalent to the energy potential of over 1 million gallons of petroleum fuels each year. The facility will be designed to allow the future addition of more recovery equipment including a device to separate and recover aluminum. Total energy requirement for production per ton of shipped aluminum is approximately 200,000,000 BTU. Recycled aluminum consumes only 25,000,000 BTU per ton, a net saving of 175,000,000 BTU per ton. One-half percent (^%) of the total incoming trash weight at the Palomar site is expected to be reclaimable aluminum. When the 220,000 ton/year maximum of solid waste material is reached at the Palomar Transfer Station, it is expected that about 1100 tons per year of recyclable aluminum will be salvaged per year. 15 1 If you require further information on this subject, the appendix is available for review at the Environmental Analysis Division, the Department of Sanitation and Flood Control, and the County branch library nearest the project site. (See Table of Appendices) H. Economics Initial construction cost for the transfer station will be $3.5 million. Fixed equipment such as the shredder, conveyers and magnetic separators will cost approximately $673,000 a year to operate. The mobile equipment (trucks and trailers) needed to transport the shredded material to the Bonsall Landfill will cost approximately $300,000 a year. Seven-percent of the bulk incoming volume of trash will be recoverable ferrous metals. At a 90% recovery rate, 10,080 tons per year of saleable scrap iron and other ferrous metals can be recovered and recycled. At an average price of $25 a ton, this will generate revenues of about $252,000 a year. This revenue will help offset the operational costs mentioned above. A shredder transfer operation is currently about 25% more expensive than a regular landfill. Due to increased resistance by citizens to landfills, trash disposal will necessarily become more expensive. Shredder operations and ultimately full resource recovery will be a large portion of the solution to this pressing problem. IV. Summary of Beneficial and Adverse Environmental Impacts Beneficial Due to the ferrous metals recovered and the transfer station's centralized location, over 145 billion BTUs.are expected to be conserved annually. That represents energy equivalent to over 1 million gallons of petroleum fuels each year. 16 Although tl additional traffic generated " the Palomar Transfer 0 Station will add a maximum of 35 tons of pollutants annually along the final two miles of access roads, the overall air quality impact will be beneficial. If the facility were not opened, an additional 99.8 tons/year of pollutants would be dispersed by vehicles driving the additional miles necessary to reach the Bonsall site. Four and four-tenths (4.4) tons of emissions per ye^r will also be conserved at the Bonsall landfill due to the reduced need of labor to cover shredded trash. Adverse Ten (10) acres of land previously disturbed by agriculture will be graded and built upon. This construction will result in the loss of existing grasses and habitat for animals in the area. The two minor archaeology sites found within the project boundaries will be covered by construction activity. The San Diego County Department of Transportation archaeologist has indicated, however, that the recording of these sites with the San Diego Museum of Man and surface collection of artifacts, is sufficient to mitigate them. This has been done by Department of Transportation archaeologists. Increased noise levels will result from both the on-site shredding operation and the increased vehicular activity of El Caraino Real and Palomar Airport Road. Existing attenuation techniques can reduce processing noises to an acceptable level. The noise increase associated with the 1982 maximum traffic generated by this project is 4 dB(A), Leq. Traffic will increase on both El Camino Real and Palomar Airport Road. An average of 373 vehicles per day generated by this project, expected to be reached by 1982, will be an increase well within the capacity of both roads. . : 17 The transfer operation will cost about three-quarters of a million ^ dollars per year. This is roughly 25 percent higher than the operating costs of a landfill. As technology increases, and resource recovery becomes more efficient, the cost per ton for an operation such as the one proposed will become financially comparable to landfills. V. Mitigation Measures 1. Dust control will be maintained on site. 2. Design of the facility and the access road will include all appropriate safety criteria. 3. Any cultural remains discovered during construction will be reported to a qualified archaeologist for evaluation and consideration. 4. Noise from the plant operation will be attenuated to acceptable levels, at tiie property line, according to the County's noise ordinance. 5. The site will be landscaped to blend in with surrounding native vegetation. All buildings will be painted earthtone (light brown) to , minimize the visual impact from the main roads. 6. Blowing of waste and waste fragments will be prevented by the use of enclosed structures. VI. Alternatives to the Project A. No Project If this project is not implemented, an opportunity to reclaim or recover usable materials and conserve landfill volume will be lost. The Encinitas Landfill closed in April 1977. Public and private collectors from Carlsbad, Vista, San Marcos, Escondido and surrounding rural areas in the vicinity are now served only by the Bonsall Landfill. Waste from the southern portion of the San Dieguito area is transported to the City's Miramar Landfill. The lack of a centralized disposal site to replace Encinitas would be costly in terms of driving distances, 18 energy consumption, trash hauling costs and the remaining life of existing landfills. B. Alternative Sites Several sites were evaluated using the following criteria: (See Map 2) 1) Land Use - A prime site would already belong to the County and have been disturbed by some previous activity. For a project such as this, isolation from private residences and compatability with sirrounding land uses would be preferred. 2) Location - A centralized location was necessary to minimize driving distances. A site must have access roads with sufficient capacity and structural capability to accomodate anticipated traffic increases. 3) Utilities - The site should also have full sewer, electricity, and water services with a reasonable distance. None of the alternative sites evaluated could meet as many of the required criteria as the Palomar site. The only other possible location for the shredder which meets the above criteria is the San Marcos Landfill. This proposed landfill, located seven miles to the southeast of the current site, is in various stages of governmental approval. As part of the Environ- mental Impact Report which was written for this project, the possibility of locating the shredder -there was discussed. Thus, if the Palomar location for the shredder is not approved, the shredder will be located at the San Marcos Landfill site. VII. Short-term vs. Long-term Impacts Short-term impacts will include construction impacts associated with the project. Dust, if not properly controlled, and noise and traffic from construction equipment will last during the construction phase of the operation. 19 ALTERNATE SITES a-- Alternate Sites- Considered for Resot Recovery Plant. These sites all had EIRs and were submitted to the !rc priate cities: 1 Escondido-traffic problems 2 San Marcos-traffic problems 3 San Marcos-traffic problems 4 Encinitas-large development, citizen pressure against site 5 Lake Hodges-traffic problems 6 Imperial Beach-trailer court nearbyj is not secluded 7 Site of El Cajon Resource Recovery Plant 8 Site for Transfer Station SOLID WASTE COASTAL MANAG ZONE Sanitary Resource Fill Recovery Resource Recovery v:c Service Area Colors Fill Service Area Imperial ] Beech Long-term impacts will be the permanent land re-configuration which will include grading, paving and construction on the site for buildings and access roads. Increased traffic and noise are potential ing-term impacts associated with the operation of the transfer site. VIII. Irreversible Environmental Impacts The project^ if implemented, will take about 10 acres of vacant land and commit it to use for a County transfer station. All plants on the site and all animals that cannot escape before grading will be lost. The site will be landscaped upon completion of construction and birds and rodents characteristic of disturbed areas might move back onto the site. IX. Growth Inducing Impacts This project is a replacement for two landfills. Design capacity of 800 tons/day will provide for projected solid waste tonnages.through 1982. The utilities sewer, water, telephone, electricity are already available and will notr require any new services brought into the area. While the existence of a solid waste transfer station should not induce businesses or residents to move into the area, certain businesses that produce large quantities of solid wastes may find the availability of the transfer station desirable in their location deliberations. For these reasons, the project should not be considering growth inducing. X.

Physical vuj Biological Environment The proposed project ares foe the Palomar Solid Waata Transfer Station consists, of a relatively flat terrace above a steep canyon. The terrace ha* aa elevation ranging ftrom 300 to 400 f*et above mcaa 3«s-level while th» caayoa, which bound* th> t«trac« on lt» south*a»t side, has an «l«vatloo of about 100 feat.

An area as rich in both: • floral and faunal species, w la> this, would have. b«en moat- conducive/ tar '- early prehistoric populations* as an important food rwource. ' • , A III. Cultural History Tbrse distinctive cultural pattama have been defined In Sea Diego County to date. Physical evidence of the San Dleguito, La Jollan, and YM and Shoehooeao culture jroc.'« have b««a Identified In the San Diego region. Since the «xact chronology and cultural characteristics of each of the culture groups have not been clearly defined yet, the following description* may be subject to periodic revision. The earliest inhabitant! of San Dl«go County were the Paleo- Indian group known as the San Diegaito. Evidence indicates they were aroadtc hunter* approximately 12,000 to 7,500 years before present (Rogers 1966i 140; Warren. and True 1961). Their oaterial culture (physical remain*) cons la ted of. : dimerous scrapers and scraper planes, knife blades, few projectile points, and large stone tools. Burial practices of the San. Dleguito people are currently unknown. Based upon certain archaeological criteria, the San . Dleguito people have been Integrated Into three aajor divisions: San Diefuito I, San Oiegulto II, and San Dleguito III. Tne oldest of the three phases, San Oteguito I, is prevalent in eastern San Diego County but ha* not been found west of the Laguna Mountain* (Rogers 1966: 179) with tn« exception of on* eita (Fink 1974) found In Poway. Fifty-two sit** represaatina; the San Diegaito II phase were found by Roger* (Rogers 1966: 17S-«4), throughout the County, with San Dleguito III b*ing equally well represented in the County. The La Jollan coltar* l» distinguished frcei the San Dieguito culture by a ••JOE change, la sub* latent e pattern*. "They were ie*d grinder* tad seafood g*th*ren, •or* than hunters . . ." (Rogers 1966: 8). Tbe ?res*oce of no«*rou* aano* ami «*tat*» (grinding Iaplte»nts), in addition to extensive •bell Bidden* (darkaned or discolored soil caused by prolonged buaaa activity -3- In on* general ir*«), have been noted la conjunction with La Jallu site*. Utiilc technology remained relatively the iaae, with little loproreoent In tool refinement. Burial was by inhioatloo In the flexed position. The L* Jollaa Complex luted from approximately 7,500 years before the present until about 1,000 yean ago. Both the L* Jbllan and the San Wefuito Complexes lack pottery. Sites resembling the La Jollan pattern have be«a found only OB the oocst, whereas San Diegulto sites are found: throofbottt t)ie> County. With tte appearance of the Yum»n-«p«akinj Kuneycay- (Dlejueno) «n) the Shoehonean-epeaking Lulsenb, Cahotlla, and Gupenb soae tlae prior td 1,000 - • B.i., a change In subsistence patterns Is noted. A cooblnatioa hunttn*; and fatherlnf econoay was practiced by these people. They brought wltit tnaev -.- '' ceraeUes known aa Tizon Brown tfar«, finely worked projectile points and ; ' atooe tools', and disposal of the dead by ereaatloB. Ktaeroiw bedrock aetatea, and aanoe, «TT connected with a partial (rinding •conoBy; have been found at known Yuman and Shoshonean sites. These are the people encountarvd by the early Spanish explorers and subee^uently dabbed th» "Xiealon Indian*." .-••'• • .- . ''':-'.':: IV. Record Check* To determine the presence of «rchaeological resources within or around the- proposed project area, records on fll* at tin two major scientific institutions La San Diego County were r-viewed. At the Anthropology Laboratory it San Diego State University, which alao corrtairu the records of th« Uoivcraity of California at L . Ang«l«*, ttotfaing wu on rocord. Th« Sao 01«|o Mua«u« of Kan had on* tit*, W-310, oo fil* loc«t»4 north of th« propo««d project ar«a. Alao on flit at tbi Mu«ua of Mas ««r« four other ittas; W-122, M-US, W-124, tf-128; which w*r« in th» rlciflity of th« project araa. Thesa sitas will not b« affactad by tha propoavd project. Thi« sit* should not b« affvctad by trhia project in any May. la additloo, tha Natural Raaouzct Irnrantory of S«n Oiago County had nothing of hiatorlc interest recorded for the) area. These record checks were made In 1974 for a project adjacent to the Ptlooar Transfer Station. It was not deaoed necessary to oaka new record check* vith these institution*. Aa archaeoloflcal survey conducted by Richard L. Carrieo, a private consoltmnt, disclosed the presence of ten archaeolofical site* directly east of the proposed Paloeatr transfer Station in Kovesfar 197J.

Arehaaological Resource* eh* 21 acre proj-sct area contains aany favu-»d pl*nt and aniaal resource* of th« California Indiana and a wat*r supply In « nearby canyon. However, oely two archaeological site* were discovered and ju^enuaatly recorded. Sit* CE » 123 This s*t* nay be located on the 3aa Luis Key 7^'r Quadrangle, Township 12 South, Range 4 West. It l» in the northern corner of the project area. It lies at an elevation of approximately 373 feet, and is surrounded by a thick growth of chaaise. See Hap 2, page IS of this appendix. The sit* conaiat* of two small gra&lt*i outcrop* with on* prlodlnf slL:k on each. Th*a« outcrop* are separated by about 7S fe«t. N*ax th*> center point between these two outcrop*, a Saa Diefulto tool was found. It appears to be miltlpurpoo* in u*«, c cabin ing a scraping edge with a spofceshave edge. This artifact was found adjacent to a large rodent burrow. No other artifacts w*r* found in conjunction with this sit*. Sit* CE t 124 This sit* is also located on the San Luia Ray 7^" Quadrangle, Township 12 South, Range 4 West. It was found near the southern point of the project on a flat aUnrtal are* directly above the steep canyon.—ir IteC at an ~" elevation at aporoxi»at*ly 280 feet above sea level. It l£ surrounded by a tMn layer of bru*h. See Hap t, page U of this appendix. The site consists of a large granite rock outcrop with on* grinding slick on It. There is no apparent Bidden associated with the site, as Isolated find am* wde near this site. It consisted of on* San Dlegnito • artifact, a scraping tool aad* of andesite. -7- VII. Evaluation of the iignificarce of the Affected Raeourcet Sit* CE » 123 can be assigned to the Lulaeno etiltur« group. It app«ar» to have been a sporadically u>«d food procetiinf ar«<t. Tt» San Oi«guita artifact t* not aa)octat»<t with tha two grindinff »licKa. Kowwtr, rvctat •xcavatlou* in San Dtego County have shown that; jcme San Diaguito alt3« contain atlllng features once believed to be found only In »irw ua<?d by latex cu'turca (O'Nell perscneJ ccnmunlcatlon). Since no jtUr- artlrects were found tM« sit* is deemed air or in tern* of jcijutlfti laportsnc*. Sit* CG # 124 can also be assigned to the Luije^o culture and was probably used for lnt»xmttent food processing. A» in the previous case, tii« San Oieguitp artifact IB not associated with tfw griaClnf >lick. alt* 1» alae deemed of miaor significance , - VIII. Research Potential , ; Sot only for th«ae sites in partlcaLur, but for the f«.ier&l vicinity, * regional study of dw archaeological reaources would be> «oc% condUciv*, to the prehistory of the area. For the present, however, it ia not within the scope of «•*»•*« project to do so. - - . IX. &«vlroi«ental r^ac*- of th« Proposed Action For this project tt.s Intact oa archaeological resources will be aiolmal, since both situ found on the property are of ilnor »lgnific«i»« vxi relatively void of scltntific tat»r«st. X. Hitlf*tin« Action For tte propo««d project, two archaeological sites were discovered within tfce lioita of the U acre parcel. Only on* altlgatint «ctioo t» nece«aary: • 1. If, during project construction, archaeoloflcil or historical «teri£l is uncovered, it should be reported to a qualified archaeclojl»t for advice and consultation.

The Environmental Analysis Division has completed its revi*t> or ;r.e infaraation suboitted relating to aesthetic!, noise izpacti, and so!ar wir.d intinr.al ;ysceainterference. At this tize it appears the measures proposed for the T.i:i£iticn of aesthetic and noise impacts are acceptable; however, we do require icditicp.al information relating tp the report on Radio Frequency Interference Control Plin.Please answer the following questions; 1. Page 4, section 3.5, first paragraph: The last sentence reads, "IJig DC output ha: six SCO "Cl ccrductors in parallel; consequently, si* capacitors per phase (underline idd*4) will be used (II total}"-. In»sniuch as the DC output or" the SOI devices is being discussed at this point as opposed to the three phase 60 cycle input (AC) In th« previoussentences, would it be preferable to refer to the output as high and low or positive (*) and negative (-) rather than phase per i«? (It being noted that non-low ripple 1C is being discuss'M.) -. In view that the .ransmi5sion (AC primary) to th« Palcaar Solid Mute Transfer Station could be a raajor source of RFI into the jen«r»l area,has prevision bee.t ciade to provide RF b>-passing at some point distant from the station, if such a measure is deeaed appropriate tt soae future ds.te - such as after the 'after' test of Rrl protection testing? 3. Mso, along the sane line of inquiry as the above point, has any provision bein nade to allow use of tuned traps, if bypassing and shielding is not as effective as anticipated? (i.e. LC network recognizing, of course, that such devices would oe difficult and possibly, a last ditch effort.) 4. Me would add our own concern to th se expiessed in the report via designdetails tl--* all exterior netal parts of the building be properly bonded in "'-<; .f possible problems associated with aetal oxide rectification-of f- -iuer.c-.es below 73.S MHz whose hamor.ic products lie la the 71.9 MHz range (73, V2 MHz, TS.3/3 «Hr, etc). "• occurs to us that as th« age cf th* structure increases, an! perhaps replacement occurs due to structural daaage (noting that ooving vehicles around the building is inherer: in its function), Maintaining the required bonding may prove to be -'ifficult. Xe assume, cf course, that those who operate the facility will be well Iv'.rmed of t'te need to maintain th* bonding provisions of the desija. Finally, In view that the required nitijatinns .aphasia desip rather than operating performance in real tine, we hop* it is understood that questions we have need to be resolved at this point in rhe process. " Mr. Cy Jevec, KUDO Oontrdr.-tocii, Inc.OA^E: 19 January 197S1 Paye 2 structural oonponents are also velded across each joint. The non-1 ineairity of metal oxide joints and the resulting hacnoaic generation should not oorur because of thes«bonding measures taken. . . .. . - •- ling measurements will be made after building oarpletion. Similar measurementsdd also be made as part of the preventive maintenance. r^r further clarificaUon and information please do not hesitate to contact me. .'tity truly yours, Hetbert K. Mertel, P.E.''rincipal .1. A 9 1979 Mr. Cy Jcvec BOCO Contractors, Inc. 1417 N. Harpsr Street Santa Ana. CA 92703 References: (1) (2) fir. Jevec: _ --.-—. -«*y t»; 1978 i Diego County Interdepartmental Correspondence from Director— Environmental Analysis Division to Director of Sanitation and Flood Control Department, dated Decanter 20, 1979 (Attachment} Reference (2) is presenting Garments and rpisptions for Reference (1) which was pre- »^ pared by our firm. In response to the questions we offer the- following, information: Question 1: The last sentence should be corrected to: "the DC output to tl« motor armature has six 500 MCM conductors in parallel; consequently,, six capacitors in thepositive conductors and six capacib rs in the return conductors Will be used. One capacitor will be used in each of the two wires bo the motor field wiring." Questic.-__*_• The high voltage line from tha road to the transformer substation adja- cent -- i t£e Palcmac Solid waste Transfer otatiort is 4 cable inst&lUx* by SOGte into a 4-inch conduit below grade. Any RP by-passing will need to be coordinated with, SDCiE. .Ta general, RF by-passing of 12,000 volt lines by us« of Jtiscreta componentsis seldom done. However, ere close proximity of the conductor in the cable and to ground will provide sufficisr.t capacitance to by-pass frequencies near: 7J.8 Mfz. Quest i'.-n 3: The suspected ?5T source* at 73.8 Mlz are. the £wo 1,000 iff Rotor drives witrt SCR controllers. The SC3 controllers are housed in shielded cabinets. Within the cabinets there is adequate space to install additional suppression components, if required. In general, all electrical wiring and equtpr_-nt is being installed for cost-effective RFI suppression. Additional suppression can easily be installed at a later date (if required) since the entire structure is grounded, bonded, and shielded. Question 4: The method of bonding for the exterior metallic building components has been improved bcyand the screw-method suggested in Reference (U. Each one of the sheet nntal panels has been welded to the girts (or ^ irlins). The welding, was acccnplished on the inside overlap of each panel, so that it does not show on the outside.

Ho tie (See the Following Mitigating Measure) Hois* levels estimated to be in the range of 95-100 dB(A) mt • dis- tance of SO-feet from the shredder will be generated by the shredding operation unless effective noise reduction, techniques are employed, and noise levels at the nearest property line will be in the range of 83-38 dB(A) and a 60 dB(A) noise level will exist at a distance of approximately 3,140-feet froa the shrettding operation. As a result, without adequate litigation, the 6ff dB(A) noise contour produced by this project will envelope an area of approximately 690 acres — in contrast to the 21 acre project site Itself. This ivpact can be >iti-gated. Mitigating Measure Construction of the shredder building should utilize laterials which •ill insure that noise levels produced by project related activities do not exceed 60 dB(A) in areas outside of the 21 acre project sited as a result of activities related to this project. 2.

The correct noise level should be 60 db(AJ. In addition to this preliminary noise study, we have requested the Department of Transportation to conduct a supplemental noise study to measure the ambient noise level (Leq) at the property line of the Zl-ac^e site someti«« in January 1979. This will provide -.s with a standard by which to compare the measured noise level once the shredding operation begins. Should the present ambient noise level (LM^ exceed 60 db(A) , we may ask the City of Carlsbad for a waiver of Condition No, 3 of the CUP.

Remle.y Principal Civil tngineer Department of Sanitation & Flood Control County Opsrations Center 5555 Overland Avenue San Oiego, CA 92123 Dear Mr. Remley: Re: SfWHdT Thank you for your letter of October 2 and the control plan for Radio Frequen-.y Interference at the Palomar Solid Waste Transfer Station. The report documents the steps which will be taken to- control the RFI. These seem highly satisfactory. He note that a 'before' and 'after' test will be performed. It would be very informative to us to have one of us present when the tests are performed. Thus please could you contact . Dr. William Coles (452-2703, Secretary 452-3603} when the 'before1 test will be scheduled. Ir the (presumably unlikely) eventuality that the measures in the control plan do not achieve the 80 dB (60 d8 source suppression plus 20 dB shielding by building) of suppression from the 1000 HP sys ten, what further measures would be attempted? The report does not address this, question. I will be away until December 27th and meanwhile Or. William Coles will be dealing with this question. We both appreciate the. evidently, thorough attenti.-r1 r-.'.'h has bfcv (jV.e'i to md«i *ha SJveddino ' :,vtion compati'. !;» with our 73*3 Wz antenna array. Yours sincerely,. Barney. J.

As such, this pSan suir-iuiriiss the KFl control effort of ECCO Contractors. Scope - • • • - - The prinary objective of the RFI suppression program is to ensure that the operation of the Solid Wiste Transfer Station does not cause in- terference to the UCSD Solir Flare Antenna Array (see Ref. 2.1) at 73.8 MHz. A secondary objective is to design the Station, so that its operation will not cause interference with radio broadcasts, air- craft radios and TV. This RFI control plan summarizes the engineering design nethods that will be used to achieve the above objectives. It is anticipated that the eirployed RFI suppression technique* will suppress the radiated RFI from the 1.000 HP System by SO dB (60 o'B siurcc suppression plus 20 dB shielding by building). 2. REVERENCES 2.1 Letter fron Barney Rickett (UC50/AP5IS) to Larry Hurt (San Diego County), dated May 8, 197S. Letter states that operation of DC drives and SCR controller may cause interference at 7J.8 >!Hz. 3. RFI CONTROL METHODS 3.1 Over/lew Tne electrona^netic compatibility (EMC) of the Solid Waste Transfer Station (hereafter called Station) is dependent upon the wire-con- ducted and the radiated radio frequency intcrfciei.je (RFI) from the Station. The objective of the RFI control effort is to identify and suppress the RFI sources. The primary RFI source is the SCR control- ler for the 1,000 HP direct current shredder motors (sec Ref. 1). Secondary RFI sources are the nercury-vapor lamps, the rectifiers for the DC magnets, fluorescent lights, various On-Off switching cycles for electrical equipment, and electrostatic charge/discharge of various noving and air handling equipment.

RFt filters :<ill be added where required to suppress poi.erline conducted RFI. Figure 1 is a simplification of the structural and RFI suppression components uti- lized Lo ichicve E"C ~f the Station. An extensive ground grid will be established under tne cullr: huild- ing. The reinforcing steel will be •..•elded together it* & - 10 fo->t- increments. Approximately thirty 10' x 3/4" ground »jds will be welJed to this ground grid. The steel columns will be bonded to the ground grid by use of Mo. 4/0 AKG ground jumpers. The cotum-beao- structure, girJs, and purlins will be bonded by welding acro-js every joint. The outer sheet metal panels used for walls and roof will be bonded in at least t\o pfaces per panel to the girds or purlins. By using this method the entire structure will bo at the sane electric potential ard the structure will provide sor.e radio frequency shield- ing and/or shading. The power to and from the SCR controller will b« routed in conduit and each wire will be provided with a feedthroujh capacitor. The entire 1,000 HP drive systcn will be shielded. Fur- ther details K;_il be given in the following sections. 3.2 Facility Ground Network Enclo;-'' p»»il and r»J.nforced concre*" structures ••".I provide cf{"* tive radio frequency shielding between interior and exterior if all peripheral retal is electrically bonded together and grounded. Khile it is generally adequate to ground a facility via a ground rod. the dry soil in the Station location requires a ground grid under the en- tire Station building. The ground grid will be constructed as follows:! 3.2.1 Concrete Reinforcing Steel The reinforcing steel in floor slabs and walls will be used to con- struct the ground grid. As shown in Figure 2, the reinforcing steel ..'.11 be welded at each crossover nearest » 10 foot interval. (For the 18 inch grid of the slab floors it is every sixth rcbar) . In addition,] at the slab edge each rebar will be welded to the slab edge rebar. Rebar joints will be overla..ed anc" welded for a-distance of 2 inches. The objective of this installation is to have rcbars in p«rraanent electrical contact in 10 foot intervals. The rebar uf tht different levels and of retaining walls will also be intcrcor \ected by welding the rebar or by use of No. 4/0 Ah'G copper wire. 3.2.2 Ground Rods 3.3 Ground rods shall be driven 10 feet fi-o-i tli-' fa;::i.!.st ion or slab cdjjo at r.p^ro". i-iitely 50 fo.it itircr'. -ili ::r.d r;.i: .1! tern':'-•-• steel coU^ia locations.

The wire used to interconnect the ground rods and the reinforcing steel will bo No. 4/0 Al-.G copper. This wire will be 18 inches below finish grade and will be continuous fron ground rod to steel column pigtail as sho .TI in Figure J and 4. In certain locations of the site the ground 's too hard for driving ground rods. At these locations a 50 fo-.• ground radial of 4/0 AlVG bare copper will be buried 18 inches belou tx.iish prude. The ground radial will be routed perpendicular to the buildin.,. The required trench will be dug, the 4/0 AUG bare copper wire laid, and the trench will be filled for 6 inches above the wire with a nixture of 90* na- tive soil and 10"; nasnesiun sulphate. The remainder of the trench will then be filled -..'ith native soil and the trench will be saturated with water. 1 connections will be made by welding steel to steel or by exother- c welding (CADWELD) of copper to steel. tallic water, gas, and other underground pipe1 entering the build- 2 will be bonded to the facility ground system. The notor rotorsVii't of the 1,000 HP motor will be provided with a grounding brush to prevent build up of static electricity and sub- sequent discharge to cause RFI. Lazp po'»s for rercu^v vapor or sodiura vapor lar.ps will be grounded by driving a grour.d rod, and connecting a 4/0 AMi wire to the giound rod, rebar and the lamp pole. Electrical Bonding Electrical bonding is defined as the electrical connection between two metallic surfaces used to provide a low resistance path between thea. Most bonds at the Station arc direct bonds uhcve a continuous netal to nctal contact is established between the ncr--.bers joined. Examples of direct bonding are rcbar welding, gird to steel colunn welding, •nd steel colunn to roof-beam welding. An indirect bond Is an electrical connection enploy ing a low impedance intcraediatc electrical conductor between the bonded acnbers. Exanple of indirect bonding are the 4/0 AKG conductors fron the ground grid to each steel column and the pop-rivets used to bond the sheet metal siciins .md roof to the girds --.nd purlins.

Tho rotor vent opening, will be provided with 1/4 inch raesh to shield the connutator noise. The teroinal boxes on the motors will be RFI shielded. The building is all metallic with speci.il. provisions for electrical bonding throughout. Although the building has Dimerous openings, • shielding effectiveness of 20 dB mininua is anticipated.* This shield- ing is the result of nultipatfl propagation, standing waves., diffractioand attenuation. 3.5 Power Filtering : The pc-.-er and signal lines to and fron the SCR controller enclosure will be filtered to ensure RFI suppression at 76.$i-Ht. Powerlines will be suppressed with 0.08 uF fcedthrough capacitors. Signal lines will be suppressed with standard low pass filters. Since each phase of the three-phase £§wex .injjut. has—£ive_500 MCT conductors in parallel five capacitors will be used per phase (15 total}.

We have reveiwed the draft E.I.R. 1n detail and offer the following, comments for your consideration: 1. With respect to public water service to the proposed facility, our District Is working with the City of Carlsbad and the County of San Dtego for the design and construction of an arterial water main that will provide adequate water service and fire protection service for the proposed solid waste transfer station as well as a proposed City of Carlsbad operations center. Upon the completion of such facilities, this District will provide complete public water service. 2. The draft E.I.R. contains considerable Information regarding the impact of traffic upon the major highways that will service the proposed facilities. We note e complete absence of an evaluation of the structural capability of these highways to acconodate the additional heavy truck traffic that will be generated by this new facility. Specifically, the section of Pslomar Airport Read easter- ly of El Camino Real within the City Units of Carlsbad is currently being systematically destroyed by the heavy traffic. As a daily user of that Important highway, I have noted the dramatic deteri- oration . In OrtngtCounrv, S«nta Ana County of San Diego July 29. 1977Page 2 3. hways as the various haulno v.hr point.

New record checks at San Diego State University and San Diego M.seun of Mao. should be made. Additional sites may h-w« been recorded for the area since 1974. 2. The references to the reports by Carrico and Fink on page S are not correctly documented. 3. The last sentence on page 5 states the "th« possibility of sites appeared to be mach better." The meaning is >- not clear - better than what? 4. The San Diego County Procedures for Environmental Impact"Review state'that a survey must be conducted by a qualified archaeologist and the report prepared by the archaeologist. Neither of these requirements is satisfied by this report. It is our opinion tl.at •..•i the Environmental Analysis Division should reject th- report oa these grounds. 5. Mitigation of the reported sites should at least contain, in one document, measurements, drawings and photographs of the slicks. The artifacts found asso- ciated with them should be shown on a scale drawing to illustrate their relative locations.

ROGER SAMUELSFN Director, Natural Land and Water Reserves System SUBJECT: Dcvson Reserve - Proposed Palomar Waste Station Dear Roger: i As you know, we have b«en reviewing the Draft Environmental Impact Report: Palocar Solid Waste Transfer Station and thesupplemental information contained ijt the response to the Environmental Analysis Division memo dated June 16, 1977. Based on these documents, we hive two specific concerns with the proposed solid waste transfer station: (1) The level of noise from rhe wast* compaction machinery is of concern. We would require that Che ambient noise level at the Reserve remain at or below that required by the Noise Abate- ment Control sections of the San Diego County Code for the R-l Zone (5043(A) from 7 A.M. to 7 P.M.. 45dB(A) from 7 P.M. to 10 P.M., and 40dB(A) from 1C P.M. to 7 A.M.*) We would further recocanend that if the station is con- structed, noise attenuation measures which will confine any noise above 60dB(A) within the vCounty's property boundaries be instituted. (2) Radio interference generated by the equipment could halt the on-going research project which is based on a passive receiving antenna on the Reserve. With respect to this concern, we must > take exception to section 2A of the respcnsa to the Environmental Analysis Division's memo ofJune 16, 1977 to the Department of Transporta- tion. This section states in part that the * As reported In Department of Transportation. Commuri / Services Agency, Co. of San Diego,*"Noise 'cudy for Palomar Airport Solid Waste Transfer Site." W.A. No. UJ7824. December 7976. page 6. >-.r-jfv Mr. J. Roger Samielsen July 26. 1977 Page Two Reserve "...vill not b« impacted, directly or inditecci,, by -he orolect." In fact, the research may be Irreparably danaged by the p-«««»cc. The antenna array, together with the effect! of radio interference and our recommendations on how tominimize it, are described below. i) Description.of Project - The antenna is a square array (70 meters x 70 meters) of yagls, receiving at 73.3 MHz with a bandwidth of 1.0 MHz. This la one of three antenna arrays used to study the solar wind by analyzing the Interplanetary scintillations in Che radio signals from cosmic radio sources. The research with these- antennas is funded by Che Atmospheric Sciences Division of the National Science Foundation (Grant Mo. ATM- 75 13451). The principal Investigators are Professors Coles, Rickete and Rumsey of CheAppliea Physics and Information Science Department, University of Cal.fornla at San Diego. The scientific results froa these arrays have revealed the structure of th* solar wind out of the ecliptic plane and the nature and distribution of turbulence in the solar wind; these have been published in the scientific literature. The system ia unique In the U.S.A. and dependj vitally on each of Che three antennas operating in a radio-quiet • environment. li) Effect of Development on Che Antenna Operation The presence or san-made radio interference is Che major source of lost data from our 73.3 , ICs arrays. This cakes Che form of interference from a) electric p-iwer poles (arcing); b) auto- motive ignition; c) any defective electrical device in which ireIng occurs; d) CB radios off their proper frequency. lit) Recommendation to Minimize Radio Interference Power lines should be laid underground to cliai- nate arcing of insulttors. The interference is particularly severe when a line of sight exists Co the antenna. This would be particularly im- portant if 21 kilovolt lines are used. We Mr. J. Roger Sanuelsen July 26. 1977 Page have had very serious problem* from 73.8 MHz interference generated frea the existing 21 kV lines in Cha insaediate vicinity of the proposed station. Although the SDGE company has responded by replacing son* faulty in- sulators and cleaning and tightening others, such problems tend to ra^-vr after a fewyears. In .addition, all electrical machinery (such as drives for harmermill and separator} should be shielded in octal enclosures. Wh-- -her the transfer station will iispact current Reserve Activities depend* upon the nature of the equipment whichwill be used and whether or not mitigation measures are l Since the exact nature of the station's equipment is unknown •C this time, and because problems may arise in the future which cannot be anticipated in the present, in addition Co the above recommendations we would request a written cooouni- cation from an appropriate County agency to the effect chat (1) Che University will be consulted throughout che design Vhase of the facility and (2) any unanticipated problems which arise In Che future will be settled by mutual agreement. We applaud cne ecologically sound rationale behind Che proposed operation and merely wish to protect the Reserve froa en- croachment and preserve the Integrity of associated research. If the recoosendations outlined above are accepted, the University will not oppose Che project. Sincerely, ByOCNAVO H. sire- Donald H.

DECLARATION OP URGENCY: This is an em«rv-:?.£y ordinance adopted as an urgency measure pursuant to California Government Code Section 36937 and shall take effect icraediataly. The City of Carlsbad, by contract, owns certain capacity rights in the Cncina Water Pollution Control Facility. The City Council has received a series of reports from its Public Works Administrator * indicating that after talcing into account the amount of sewer ; capacity required for building permits in process, governnental projects, certain contractural obligations, and other matters, the City of Carlsbad as of Afrril 19, 1977 was at its capacity in the Encina Facility. It is not possible Cor th« City of Carlsbad to exceed that capacity without violating provisions of Federal and State law and its contractural obligations to the other members of the Joint Sncina Facility. Since the City of Carlsbad has no additional capacity rights in the sewer treatment plant, and no other, currently available means of disposing of more sewage, the Council has no alternative but to impose a City-wide building moratorium until such tia«e •»« ier« is sone change in th* situation. This act-lrn is necessary for the immediate preservation of the public health and safety since, in the absence of the •oratoriun, buildings'could be constructed in the City without ade<juate provisions for the disposition of sewage which is a situation that is of immediate danger to the public health, safety and welfare. • EFFECTIVE DATS* This ordinance shall b« effective a. • ' ,*r.r*fr MB •^•^•••••^•^•^••^^•••^^•••••^•nsaHi*^*SV77 Wf •" -".•* "•*• '"- - - ^^^^^^^^^•^•^^^••Ps^B^^^^iBaMB^WjBBi i inwediA-aly upon passage. .The Ciby i, shall certify to the adoption of th •BBBBBBHBBJHBH^^^H Clerk o« tihe City of Carl»b*dV '] is ordinance and cause it to 3 b« published once in the Carlsbad Journal within fifteen day* '. after its adoption. 5 "ODIFCATION: This oxdin» :~ • shall not be codified. 6 INTRODUCED, PASSED AND ADOPTED at an adjourned regular 7 meeting of tf-a City Council of the 0 bald on the 26th day of April, 1977 City of Carlsbad, California by the follow.fng vote, to wit: , 9 AYESi Counc'.imen Frazee, Packard.
