HAGA; 1 AH, Secretacy CARLSBAD PLANKING COMMISSION I -Y-: STAFF REPORT DATE: February 24, 1982 TO: Planning Commission FROM: Planning Department SUBJECT: CUP-140(B), COONTY OP SAN DIEGO - Request for an amend- . Bent to a Conditional Use Permit for the Palomar Solid Waste Transfer Station located near the northeast corner of El Camino Real and palomar Airport Road in the M-Q zone. I. PROJECT DESCRIPTION AND BACKGROUND The County of San Diego is requesting approval of an amendment to the Conditional Ose Permit for the Palomar Solid Waste Transfer Station located as described above. The amendment entails the deletion of street improvement requirements along Palomar Airport Road and El Camino Real'and, also, the deletion of the require- ment for an equestrian trail. These deletions are the result of negotiations conducted in December, 1981 between the city of Carlsbad and the county for ,.,.„.,.,,the, city's purchase of a 27 acre parcel adjacent to the».Tr_ansf er.., Station. A summary of the purchase and the conditions of this purchase are attached for your review. II. ANALYSIS The cost of improving El Camino Real and Palomar Airport Road along the frontage of, the Transfer Station property would be.-borne by;the city, using public facility fees;^The cost.of . improvements was figured into the purchase price of the property and has been determined to be equitable to both the county and city.

I. PROJECT DESCRIPTION .The proposed project is the construction of a multi-item recy- cling center on 10,500 square feet of land immediately south of the Palomar Transfer Station. The, proposed center will buy back glass,:newspaper, metal and oil from local residents and then process the items for recycling. The facility will be leased by the County to a private operator under a lease/royalty agree- ment. Reinforced concrete pads will be supplj^d^^or.^the-drag-on con—-"- taicers (dimpsy-dumpsters) for all materials except oil. The oil will be stored underground in 1500 gallon reinforced fiberglass tanks sealed in aspalt. The recycling center will be operated Monday - Saturday StOO am to StOO pm, identical with the hours of operation for the trans- fer station.: The maximum number of employees will be three. 11^ ANALYSIS" V ^Planning Issues - <&^u$*?$m*&,4 ectfraeet the required findings for a condi- •titt-, V-^iL- .

"shape to accommodate the pro-]h'aslbeenjipreviously;graded as has the area """ -The^site is roughly.rectangular in shape and contains 0.25 acres. The actual recycling center will be 10,500 square feet. Staff believes the site is adequate in size and shape to accommodate the proposed use. As a condition of approval, the site will have to be fenced with a view-obscuring, redwood slated, six foot chain link fence. The fence, along with existing landscaping, when mature,'will be adequate to screen the site from traffic along El Camino Real. The proposed project is expected to generate approximately 200 trips per day. This will not cause a significant increase of traffic on El Camino Real. The site was designed for vehicular traffic to be on a drive-through basis with a minimum of delay. Ingress to the recycling site would be off the entrance road to the transfer station; egress from the recycling site would be off the exit road from the transfer site. Staff finds that the proposed project does meet the required findings of a conditional use permit. IV. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW The Planning Director h*s determined that this project will not have a significant impact on the environment and, therefore, has issued a Negative Declaration dated August 10, 1981. V. RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the Planning Commission APPROVE the Nega- tive Declaration issued by the Planning Director and adopt Resol- ution No. 1851, APPROVING CUP 140 (A), based on the findings and subject to the conditions contained therein.

The property is located on the northeast side of El Camlno Real between Sunny Creek Road and Palomar Airport Road. The majority of the 58 acre N zoned portion was previously cultivated, with the remainder of the site covered with the inland sage scrub community. A detailed description of the site is contained in the project EJR. The Conditional Use Permit applies only to the southerly 21 acres. The remaining 37 acres of N zone has not been specified for a particular use, although the possibility of constructing a municipal corporation yard on that site has been discussed. Any public use built on that site in the future would be subject to a Conditional Use Permit. PROJECT DESCRIPTION The project Involves the construction and operation of a solid waste shredder, resource recovery and transfer station on a County-owned site. The shredded waste can be more easily disposed at sanitary landfill sites without using excessive cover material. Initially the project will receive and process 166,000 tons of solid waste per year, increasing to 220,000 tons by 1982. The facility will shred the waste, separate ferrous (iron-derived) metals for resale, and compact the waste into large tractor trailers for efficient transfer to the San Marcos Landfill. All trash would be transferred to the landfill on the same day which it arrives, thus reducing the potential for odor. The facility will consist of approximately three buildings (1. 6000 square feet and 35 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 35 feet. Existing Zoning: Subject Property: North: South: East: West: OS (Existing), H (Proposed) OS R-1-10,000 and OS OS N -5- Existing General Plan; Subject Property: OS (G 1n process) North: OS South: PI, G, and OS East: OS West: PI Land Use: Subject Property: North: South: East: West: Vacant Vacant CMMD District Office VacantVacant and Beckman Instruments Past History and Related Cases: The Planning Commission approved a General Plan Amendment for the project on August 24, 1977 and was approved by the City Council on September 21, 1977. A companion item to this request for Conditional Use Permit is Zone Change 197 to change from 0-S to M. Environmental Impact"Information: The County has prepared and certified an EIR for the project. The County is the "Lead Agency" for the shredder project (i.e., the agency responsible for carrying out the project). The City is a "Responsible Agency" under State law, and must therefore consider~the information contained within the Lead Agency's EIR prior to taking any action on the project. All mitigation measures which are Carlsbad's responsibility have been recommended as conditions of approval to the Conditional UsePermit for the shredder. General Plan Information: At the time when the City approved the amended Land Use Element of theGeneral Plan (October 197*), the County had no Intended use for the subject property. The site is, in fact, a portion of a larger 230 acre parcel which was purchased by the County to provide an Instrument landing system for Palomar Airport. Consequently, the City designated the airport approach area (58 acres) as G (Governmental Facility) and designated the remainder of the site (172 acres) as Open Space on the Land Use Map; The Planning Commission is considering the request that58 acres of the open space area be designated G to allow for constructionof the solid waste shredder and transfer station and a possible municipal corporation yard (central location for City police, water, utilities and maintenance services.) -6- The oroperty Is within the Special Treatment designation for thePalomar Airport Influence area. This <pcda1 treatment designationindicates that. 1n addition to the underlying land use designation, special consideration should be given to the property due to the noise and safety Impacts of Palomar Airport. The proposed shredder Is compatible with the airport Influence. According to the County, CPO (acting as the Airport Land Use Commission) has reviewed the project and has found that 1t conforms to the Palomar Airport Land Use Plan. The Open Space and Conservation Element of the General Plan shows the canyon east of the subject site as a part of the City-wide open space 11nkage. This area Is proposed to remain In open space. PUBLIC FACILITIES: This application was accepted because the sewer moratorium ordinance 7048 provides for the acceptance of government facilities. However, there are no assurances that public sewer facilities will be available to serve any future uses proposed for the site. However, water and other utilities are available to the site. The County ordinarily proposed that sewage generated by the use (on site restrooms only) was to be accommodated by a septic tank system. Percolation tests conducted by the County have shown that a septic system 1s not feasible, however. The County has presented the alternative o.f,utilizing: 1) chemical toilets and a sump system for the washdown of equipment and recycling of water; 2) the cleaning of machinery by seepers and vacuum devices rather than by a water wash-down method, or 3) other such methods, such as evapotransplratlon, that will avoid discharge of waste water. MAJOR PLANNING CONSIDERATIONS: Will the shredder cause excessive noise, odor, traffic or aesthetic Impacts? Will the transfer station cause excessive traffic and safety problems? DISCUSSION The County has proposed to fund the project with a Federal Economic Development Act Grant. The contract for design, construction andoperation of the facility Is "turn key" (that Is, a private contractorwill design, construct and operate the facility to specifications set by the County.) Consequently there are no building ereyatlons available at this time. A condition requiring Planning Director review and approval of building design has been Included. -7- Staff believes that design parameters set through the conditions of the CUP and the grading plan provide adequate Information to allow the Commission to approve the facility. Staff's primary concerns are with the noise, traffic and aesthetic Impacts of the project. Mitigation measures 1n the EIR (which are also conditions of approval for the CUP) require that the buildings be constructed with materials which are aesthetically compatible with the surrounding area and that noise be limited to 60dB(A) at the operation boundaries. The noise restriction 1s within the standards contained 1n the City's Noise Element. In addition, the City Engineer has supplied conditions of approval to ensure that all traffic Impacts can be mitigated. At the City Council hearing on the General Plan Amendment for this site (GPA-49), many concerns were voiced on the Impacts of this proposed refuse shredder. The City Council expressed a desire that where possible these concerns be mitigated through conditions of the Conditional Use Permit. Following is a synopsis of these concerns: "Noise be reduced so there be no significant effect on the wildlife reserve to the west." The condition requiring a maximum of 60dB(A) at operation limits and enclosure of the shredding operation will meet this concern. "The shredded waste has an odor - it* is localized and cannot be distinguished 20 yards away." A condition has been included that requires methods to be instituted that prevent odors beyond the operational boundaries. "Will there be explained that similar operation there are conditions electrical and radio system. This should interference with radio communication?"* -The .a^p-1 leant* there is no interference with radio communication at a in El Cajon, which is also near an airport. Also requiring method to be instituted to prohibit interferences to the nearly solar wind antenna prevent noise problems at the airport also. "Beckman Instruments cannot use pesticides to check rodent population. If the shredder causes an Increase in rodents, Beckman may have to close because of the need for a clean health environment associated with the Beckman operation." The applicant responded by indicating that rodents cannot survive on the shredder waste. This has been tested in previous studies. A condition has been added that requires a report on the matter and any suggested mitigating method be Installed. "The shredding operation Is dusty. There will be equipment on the site as there 1s in the El Cajon condition has been added to Insure that this dust is installed and functions properly. dust collecting operations." A reducing equipment -8- "There will be approximately 100 collection trucks and 40 transfer trucks using the facility a day." Staff believes the road system with the required participation In signals Is satisfactory to handle this traffic. "It will take about 4,000 gallons per day of sewer capacity—about 14-15 equivalent dwelling units.". The sewage will have to be disposed of through on-s1te methods. Presently the applicant 1s proposing an experimental system. The City Is very Interested 1n monitoring this system because If 1t Is workable (and It appears it will be), the system can then be used for private development. If however It falls, the project can be hooked to existing lines that serve Beckman Instruments. The sewer allocation system provides capacity for government facilities such as this.

Frazce Mayor, City of Carlsbad 1200 Kim Avenue Carlsbad, California 92008 Dear Mayor Frazee: On your agenda tomorrow evening you will be considering the approval of the Conditional Use Permit under appeal from the Carlsbad City Planning Commission for the location of a solid waste transfer facility with the County of San Diego as the applicant. As you know, the County has experienced great difficulty in locating a long tern solid waste disposal facility in the north county area. Several attempts to locate sanitary landfills to serve your community and the surrounding area have been unsuccessful. The only landfill site the County has been able to obtain which appears to reasonably meet our requirements is the San Marcos site located near the intersection of Questhaven and Elfin Forest Roads. This site, however, has a shortage of cover material which would limit its life to approximately five years if we are forced to operate it as a conventional landfill. For this reason, the County applied for an EDA grant to construct a transfer/shredding facility at the Palomar site in order that the San Marcos Landfill might be operated as a shredded waste landfill where daily cover is not required. An EDA grant in the amount of $4.1 million has been awarded for this project and the only remaining obstacle is the matter of the Conditional Use Permit from your City. Under the conditions of this grant, the Palomar site is the only feasible location if the station is to be built. You are aware that the County voluntarily chose to follow the City's normal development procedures in this project. Although we are not required under the law to obtain a Conditional Use Permit it was, and is, our desire to work cooperatively with Carlsbad in constructing and operating a facility which will be a credit to your community. It is in this spirit that I seek your assistance in gaining your Council's approval. VISTA OFFICC. 3X5 CO. MCL.ROSC DRIVE. CA 02083 • TCLEPHONC 724-0971 Honorable Robert C. France Mayor, City of Carlsbad October 17, 1977 Page Tvo This proposed facility will be of substantial economic benefit to the citizens of Carlsbad and other north county residents. The consequence of our failure to acquire this facility will be a drastic shortening of the life of the San Marcos Landfill and the Bonsall Landfill as well. When these sites are finished it is likely that solid wastes from the north county area will have to be transported thirty miles or more for final disposal. We estimate the immediate financial benefit of this site to the people of Carlsbad as compared to direct hauling of wastes to the Bonsall Landfill to be approx- imately $190,000 per year. In addition, the City will reaTize substantial benefit from contributions to two major road improve- ments, recreation facilities tnd a traffic signal. Your Planning Commission developed a list of proposed conditions in the event a Conditional Use Permit is granted by the City Council, while it is the County's intent to operate this facility in a manr.cr which will not degrade the environment, we find some of the conditions proposed by your Commission to be unduly restrictive. I would appreciate the opportunity for our staff to rceet with you or your representative to discuss these conditions prior to the Council meeting of October 18. I would like to count on your support in gaining approval of this project from your City Council. Very truly yours. !>ee R. Taylor Supervisor, Fifth District LRT: BD: nw cc: Vice-Mayor Claude A.

As described in the attached letter to the Federal Aviation Agency, the City of Carlsbad feels this transfer is not in the interest of the County Airport Departments, the San Diego Solid Waste Authority, or non-member cities. The current lease to Coast Waste Management provides needed revenue to the San Diego County Airport Operation and provides an excellent location for Coast Waste Managements operating center and transfer station. The new San Diego Solid Waste Authority has no use for this property and certainly doesn't need another piece of property to manage at this point in its start-up. The City of Carlsbad hereby respectfully requests that the Board of Supervisors take no action to transfer the PaJomar Transfer Station Lease to the San Diego Solid Waste Authority. The City of Carlsbad further requests that the San Diego Board of Supervisors enter into a long-term lease agreement with Coast Waste Management to ensure continued stable operation of its trash collection services in North County. Not only will the continued leasing of the facility to Coast Waste Management provide stability in solid waste services, but it will continue a significant income flow to the County Airport Departments, which is extremely important in these recessionary times. Sincerely, c: City Council City Manager San Diego County Supervisor John MacDonaid City of Escondido Mayor Jerry Harmon City of Oceanside Mayor Dick Lyon San Diego Solid Waste Authority Chair City of Carlsbad • Office of the Mayor July 22, 1994 Carl B. Schellenberg Federal Aviation Administration Office of the Regional Administrator P.O. Box 92007 Worfdway Postal Center Los Angeles, CA 90009 Dear Mr. Schellenberg: On behalf of the City of Carlsbad, I would like to express our concern regarding a proposal being considered by the San Diego County Board of Supervisors. It is being proposed by the newly created San Diego County Waste Management Authority to transfer a lease between San Diego County and Coast Waste Management (the City of Carlsbad's trash hauler), to the San Diego Solid Waste Management Authority. Coast Waste Management leases a piece of property from the San Diego County Airport Department for the operation of the Solid Waste Transfer Station and a fleet maintenance facility. The continued operation of Coast Waste Management in this location is vital to ensure that adequate trash services will be provided to residents of Carlsbad as well as other areas. The City of Carlsbad is also very concerned that the transfer of this lease will adversely affect the county airport operation by depriving that operation of approximately $16,000 per month in income. It is our understanding that the land being leased to Coast Waste Management was acquired as part of a larger purchase, funded in large part by a Federal Aviation Agency grant We think it is appropriate that any income derived from this lease should continue to accrue to the benefit of the airport department The Federal Aviation Agency should also be concerned about such a transfer, because such a loss of revenue would adversely affect the San Diego County Airport Department's ability to serve aviation, it should be noted that although this property in question is used for local solid waste purposes, it is not part of the San Diego County Solid Waste Division Operation. The San Diego County Solid Waste Division, in the past operated a transfer station on this site, but terminated that use a number of years ago and was, in fact, planning to demolish the station. The City of Carlsbad and its wastehauler, Coast Waste Management, were able to convince the County not to demolish the facility and Coast Waste Management has productively been using the facility ever since and the County has been realizing a significant income stream to benefit its airport operation. The County of San Diego is in the process of transferring its solid waste assets, obligations, and liabilities to the newly created San Diego Solid Waste Authority. The City of Carlsbad has no disagreement with the proposal to transfer such items; however, the Palomar Transfer Station Lease is not an asset or part of the San Diego County Solid Waste System and it is inappropriate to transfer the lease to the new authority. The new authority is attempting to convince non-member agencies (of which Carlsbad is one of ten cities that have not joined the Agency), to join the Agency, or contract with the Agency for services. It is the City of Carlsbad's view that the Solid Waste Authority is attempting to gain control of this leasehold to prevent Cart B. Schellenberg July 22.1994 Page 2 its use by the City ol Carlsbad as a transfer station. The cities of Carlsbad, Oceanside, and Escondido are attempting to develop a disposal alternative to the county system, and the use of the Palomar Transfer Station would be vital in implementing this alternative. It is our belief that the San Diego Solid Waste Authority is attempting to prevent the transfer of trash by the aforementioned cities in order to coerce their membership into the San Diego Authority. On behalf of the Carlsbad City Council, I hereby respectfully request the Federal Aviation Agency review this issue and take action to prevent the diversion of this income from the San Diego County Airport Operation to the new Solid Waste Authority, it is not in the interest of advancement of aviation to have this occur. Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter.

The original lease is with Arie which is out of town today. He will be back tomorrow and I will get a copy then for the City's review. Some additional information regarding the transfer station is as follows: The station was originally permitted in 1979 and opened and operated as the Palomar Transfer Station. The Site was opened in 1980 and operated into 1982. The site was operated for the County by Browning Ferris Incorporated. The site was built to operate with an average daily volume of 800 tons per day with peak volumes of 1,600 per day. The operating area had capacity to hold 1,600 tons with 35 percent of the floor remaining for working area and access. Coast Waste Management, Inc. became the present lessee in September 1984. This occurred after the County was turned down by the City to demolish the building and convert the site to an industrial park. I will provide you with a copy of the original lease as soon as Arie returns. If you have any other questions please give me a call. Sincerely, Conrad B.

May 13, 1991 Ms. Lari Sheehan Deputy Chief Administrative Officer County of San Diego 1600 Pacific Highway, Room 210 San Diego, CA 92101 Dear Ms. Sheehan: You have asked for a proposal from Coast Waste Management, Inc. regarding the continued leasing of the Palomar Transfer Station facility owned by the County of San Diego. As of this date, we are in receipt of our termination notice under the terms of the existing lease agreement. It is our understanding that we have one year from receipt of the notice to vacate the premises. However, you have asked for a lease proposal for continuing terms as well as potential joint use of the site. The following narrative contains an outline of proposed lease provisions for continued use of the site by Coast Waste Management, Inc. In order to capitalize the investment required to convert the facility to a full-fledged solid waste transfer station and material recovery and recycling facility (MRRF), we would request a lease term of twenty years. In the first scenario with Coast Waste Management retaining the site as a sole lessee and use, we would need an additional one-half (.5) acre for a household hazardous waste program in addition to the existing 8.5 acres for a total of nine (9) acres. The area would then serve as the corporation yard for Coast Waste Management with fleet operations and maintenance being performed on site with the addition of a transfer station and MRRF under our existing transfer station permit for 400 tons per day.

A scope of services on site proposed by the County of San Diego for the joint use with Coast Waste Management. Coast Waste Management would be able to operate a transfer station facility for up to 1000 tons per day upon expansion of the facility and acquisition of an amended permit. It is our opinion we could be in operation in approximately six months following the approval of our necessary discretionary permits from the City of Carlsbad. Of course, in both cases, Coast Waste Management would design, construct, and finance the improvements to the property. In a situation that would allow Coast Waste Management to operate the facility, no capital costs would be incurred by the County of San Diego. We anxiously await your reply to this request.

Terminate this Lease and be absolved of all obligations here- under which have not accrued at the date possession is taken by the public entity; or b.

If County for any reason whatsoever cannot deliver possession of the said Premises to Lessee at the commencement of the term herein before specified, or if Lessee is dispossessed through action of a title superior to County's, then in neither of such events shall County be liable to Lessee for any loss or damage resulting therefrom, but rather there shall be determined and stated in writing by the Board, a proportionate reduction of the rent- covering the period or periods during which Lessee is prevented from having the quiet possession of the Premises. 26.

In the event Lessee shall hold over after the term herein granted, such holding shall be deemed to be a tenancy from year to year; provided, however, either party may terminate this Lease at any time during said holding over by giving the other party at least one year's prior written notice. Such notice shall be given in accordance with Clause 9 (NOTICES). Such tenancy shall be governed by the terms, conditions and covenants contained in this Lease. -24- 32. AMENDMENTS.

HAIVER -OF -RIGHTS. The failure of County or Lessee to insist upon strict performance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Lease shall not be deemed a waiver of any right or remedy that County or Lessee may have, and shall not be deosned a waiver of rights to require strict perfor- mance of all the terms, covenants and conditions of the Lease thereafter nor -25- a waiver of any remedy for the subsequent breach or default of any term, covenant or condition of the Lease. 37.

Lessee agrees that this Clause may be filed in any such action, and that when filed it shall constitute a stipulation of Lessee fixing the total damages to which Lessee is entitled in such an action. 39. TIME. Time is of the essence of this Lease. 40. AFFIRMATIVE-ACTION -PROGRAM. Lessee shall comply with the Affirma- tive Action Program for Vendors as set forth in Article IIIK (commencing at Section 84) of the San Diego County Administrative Code, which program is incorporated herein by reference.

SPECIAL CONDITIONS. a. Removal of County-Property. County reserves the right to remove or cause to be removed within one year from the commencement date of this Lease any or all of the equipment and appurtenances on the Premises formerly used by the County to shred, separate, sort and compact refuse. County also reserves the right to remove portions of the buildings having said equipment and appurtenances during the removal process. Lessee agrees to cooperate with County in regard to access and use of the Premises during the process of appraising, auctioning and removing said equipment and appurtenances. b. Restricted Use -of - Improvements. Lessee shall not occupy or use those portions of the improvements used to house the equipment formerly used to shred, sort and compact refuse. After County has caused said equipment to be removed, Lessee may occupy and use the area formerly having said equipment-*" after Lessee, at Lessee's expense, makes said area safe for occupancy and use. c. Road -Improvements. Lessee acknowledges that a portion of the road near the easterly portion of the Premises is not on the Premises. Lessee may use and maintain said portion of the road off the Premises until County develops said area and or relocates the chain link fence now located easterly of said road to the approximate Premises boundary. Upon prior writ- ten approval of the Airports Director, Lessee may develop a road on the Premises to replace said portion off the Premises. In the event Lessee's access between the Premises and El Camino Real is restricted by a governmental agency and such restriction requires Lessee to access the Premises by use of the proposed road (now tentatively named Faraday Road) north of the Premises, County agrees to permit Lessee to -32- extend the access road now existing between El Camino Real and the Premises to Faraday Road. Such extension shall be built on an alignment and in accor- dance with 'plans and specifications previously approved in writing by the Airports Director. County shall not be responsible for any of the costs or expenses in planning, constructing or maintaining said extension, except that, in the event Lessee constructs said extension at Lessee's expense, Lessee may, during the first 60 months of this Lease, deduct 1/120 of Lessee's actual cost in constructing said extension or $583.33, whichever is least, from the- monthly rental due County. For each month this Lease continues in effect beyond the 60th month of this Lease, Lessee shall repay to County the same amount deducted monthly by Lessee during the first 60 months of this Lease. Said monthly repayments shall continue until the total amount repaid to County equals the amount deducted during the first 60 months - of thi's Lease or until this Lease is terminated, whichever occurs first. Said payments to be made by Lessee to County shall be subject to the same delinquent penalties 'imposed on late rental payments in Clause 8 (LATE RENTAL PAYMENT}. Lessee's use of said access road and extension shall be non-exclu- sive. Upon completion of said access road extension, Lessee shall provide County with an itemized statement of the costs of construction of said exten- sion and said statement shall be sworn to be true by Lessee under penalty of perjury. d. Permit. This Lease shall terminate December 31, 1984 if Lessee has- not obtained a permit from the City of Carlsbad to operate a storage and repair facility for waste collection trucks and recycling facility on the .Premises. Until Lessee provides proof of having been granted the necessary -33- environmental, land use and waste facility permit by the appropriate regula- tory agencies, no municipal, residential, agricultural, demolition, construc- tion, industrial, institutional, infectious or commercial or hazardous wastes are to be processed or stored on the leasehold site for any period of time pursuant to Natural Resources Code, Title 14, Chapter 5, Article 3. The occupancy and operation of the Premises by Lessee shall be subject to the terms, conditions, restrictions and other provisions of any existing or future permit, lease and/or agreement between County and the United States of America and/or any other local, State or Federal agency relative to the control, operation or maintenance of a solid waste collection, transfer, recycling and/or disposal facility.

Box 947 Carlsbad, CA 92008 Dear Arie: Subject: Lease Negotiations - Palomar Transfer Station Your letter of July 8, 1983 relative to the record of our meeting on July 7, 1983 does not reflect the position I took on a temporary lease of the Palomar Transfer Station to Coast Waste Management. The Department of Public Works believes it is impossible to allow Coast Waste Management to occupy the Palomar Transfer Station on a temporary basis. As agreed at the meeting we are moving forward as rapidly as possible to complete the planning and engineering for the industrial park in which you stated you would like to be a tenant. We will meet the deadline of August 1, 1983 for submittal of the General Plan Amendment application to the City of Carlsbad. We can not work with the City of Carlsbad on a General Plan' Amendment while at the same time we are negotiating with Coast Waste Management for a non-conforming use in the heart of the development area. The Special Use Permit that the County had with the City of Carlsbad has expired and the original conditions were never satisfied. The County can not apply for a Special Use Permit for one type of use and at the same time be applying for a General Plan Amendment and "Rezone" that is contrary to the Special Use Permit. The County agreed to improve El Camino Real under the terms of the Special Use Permit for the Trash Transfer Station. When the facility was abandoned the County agreed to improve El Camino Real as part of the industrial park development. Your offer of $75,000 a year to rent the facility would make it impossible for the County to fulfill its commitment to the City of Carlsbad. Arie deJong, Jr. Coast Waste Management, Inc. Palomar Transfer Station -2- July 15, 1983 I also explained at the meeting that the removal of the Trash Transfer facilities and the concrete was essential before grading could be done. It will take about one year to sell the equipment, remove the buildings and dispose of the concrete. Each step requires administrative red tape and contractors do not always complete their assignments on time. We have already been delayed about 60 days in this process while you are trying to make a case for temporary occupancy. » Since the grading for the industrial site can not take place until the structures and concrete are removed and the environmental con- straints restrict grading to the summer months, we are looking at May-June 1985 as a start date. This leaves about ten months for your temporary occupancy. Negotiations for a fair market value rent with Coast Waste Management could take several months. The difference between fair market rent and your offer of $75,000 is substantial. Assuming a fair market value rent could be negotiated there would be time for you to move in and then move out, leaving six months or less for you to occupy the facility. This is not a practical solution to your problem. Finding another temporary site presents an even greater problem. Any new temporary site requires a road, electric, water, sewer - probably with pumping stations - and gas service. We have no sites on airport property with these facilities that Coast Waste Management can move to. I also explained that we could not work our grading around an occupied Trash Transfer Station because the new site will have different grade elevations. The Trash Transfer Station is located at the property boundary and where the major circulation road (Faraday Road) crosses our property. This road must be built in conjunction with the City of Carlsbad's Public Works' Facility development. The road is an essential element of our development plan because the industrial lots must front on the road. We can not build the road and develop the lots fronting on the road if the Trash Transfer Station remains. A review of these facts leads to four conclusions if Coast Waste Management were given temporary occupancy of the building. 1. The industrial park project could not proceed. 2. The temporary move to this site would eventually become permanent. 3. Faraday Road would not be built with County funds. 4. Improvements to El Camino Real would have to be renegotiated with the City of Carlsbad. Arie deJong, Jr. Coast Waste Management, Inc. Palomar Transfer Station -3- July 15, 1983 Your letter of July 8, 1983 also speaks of making 10 acres of the least desirable land available to Coast Waste Management and having Municipal Engineers become acquainted with your operation. We have given Municipal Engineers this assignment in addition to developing standards that will make your operation compatible with the future tenants. In regard to the value of land that will be available for your future use you must realize that it will have a value commensurate with the cost of developing Faraday Road, undergrounding utilities and providing sewer pumping stations. Consideration for lower rent would be based primarily on the large size parcel you desire.t I hope this clarifies our position and I look forward to meeting you on July 20th for futher discussions.

November 2, 1982 Mr. Ben G. Clay, Project Manager C.A.C. Development Project 1600 Pacific Highway San Diego, CA 92101 Dear Mr. Clay: I appreciated the opportunity to meet with you on October 4, 1982, regarding our proposal to lease the Palomar Transfer Station. I shall respond to each of the questions in your letter dated October 7, 1982, so that our proposal can be evaluated by your Sale and Lease Committee and the Board of Supervisors. For the sake of convenience, I have numbered your questions. In this response, I shall use the words, "Palomar Facility" rather than Palomar Transfer Station because I want to avoid the implication that Coast Waste Management intends to use the Facility solely as a transfer station. We are interested in leasing the property and buildings which were used as a transfer station prior to July 1, 1982. Question #1: Statement of operations of the Facility The operation of the Facility will be in conformity with the City of Carlsbad, C.U.P. 140 B. The activities to be carried on at the Facility will be the operation of Coast Waste Management as it now occurs at 7204 Ponto Drive, Carlsbad. The types of waste that we haul is municipal solid waste. We are licensed hazardous waste haulers. I believe that the answers to Question #2 describe further the activities for which we intend to use the Facility. Question f2: Allocation of space A breakdown of the allocation of space for the facility will be as follows: a. General offices 3,000 - 4,000 sq. feet b. Vehicle repair facility 12,000 + sq. feet c. Truck parking 2 acres d. Storage area for roll-off boxes 1 acre e. Bin storage, repair and welding area .5 acre f. Employee parking .75 acre g. Underground fuel storage h. Recycling, recovery, buy-back center 5 acres i. Dumping area for public use and transfer to the landfill (indoor floor area) 20,000 sq. feet At this time we estimate expenditures of approximately $500,000 to build new vehicle repair facility, modifications to existing buildings to accommodate public use dumping and transfer capability, modifi- cation of present office space to fit our needs, construction of a recycling and buy-back center., and a central receiving location for our satelite centers. We also anticipate having to do extensive grading to enable us to make better use of the property. Question 13: Current operations of Coast Waste Management Coast Waste Management, Inc., is a North San Diego County Municipal Solid Waste Disposal Company. The Company currently operates out of five (5) locations. Our main location, including general offices, is located at 7204 Ponto Drive, Carlsbad, California (aporoximately 2.5 acres).

The fourth location (Dawson property in Vista) is used for roll-off box and bin storage (approximately 2 acres). The fifth location is the Del Mar Recycling Center located at 2265 Jimmy Durante Blvd., Del M.ar, California 92014 (approximately 1.5 acres). The Company serves Carlsbad/La Costa, Del Mar, Sol ana Beach, Rancho Santa Fe, portions of Leucadia, Cardiff, and Encinitas, plus major accounts in the City of San Diego to the south, and the San Onofre plant in the north.

Question #6: A statement related to the need for a North County Transfer Station , It is difficult, at this time, to make a definitive statement related to the need for a North County Transfer Station. The disposal industry appears to be changing rapidly, especially in North County. We do not know how the proposed trash to energy plant at the San Marcos Landfill will affect us, the other haulers, and the cities we presently serve. The closure of the Palomar Facility is costing us money because of the increased haul distance and extra wear and tear on the trucks. There- fore, if it is economically feasible, Coast Waste Management proposes to retain transfer station capability for future use if there is a demon- strated need. The questions of landfill siting, landfill lifespan, distances to new landfills, demographics, trash to energy plants, cannot be answered at this time. It obviously follows that I am unable to provide quantified market data demonstrating the need for a transfer station. Our proposals as set forth in Questions One and Two continue to remain our primary reason for wishing to lease the Facility. Question 17: Company organization chart See Exhibit B. Question #8: Project financing information It is our belief that the management of Coast Waste Management has a proven track record to which this proposal relates. We have met all of our past obligations in a timely manner and fully intend to do so in the future. With the concurring advice from our legal and financial counsel, we fully anticipate meeting our lease payments to the County out of current and future cash flow. Rent payments, or lease payments, or mortgage pay- ments are considered a normal cost of doing business whether our location is 7204 Ponto Drive or the Palomar Facility. Therefore, we expect to meet our payments to the County from operating revenues. ' Question #9: Cash flow We do not anticipate a reduced cash flow as may be suggested in the question. In fact, we expect our business to expand because the growth projections for North San Diego County.indicate significant growth for the next ten (10) years resulting in an increased cash flow. Question #10: Credit references from First Interstate Bank See Exhibit C. Question #11: Statement regarding bonds Since Coast Waste Management is a 100% wholly owned private corporation, the Company does not issue corporate bonds. Any reference to bonds in our original proposal simply attempted to show that Coast Waste Manage- ment has always been able to post adequate performance bonds whenever requested to do so. The Company is not a public entity. Any bonds that we have posted have been provided by the Fireman's Insurance Fund. Statement regarding Lease Proposal Coast Waste Management proposes the following: • 1. Coast Waste Management proposes to lease from the County of San Diego the Palomar Facility on a long-term basis. 2. The Facility consists of 21.8 gross acres of which approximately 11.8 acres are usable. 3. Coast Waste Management wishes to lease the entire parcel including all present buildings and structures. 4. Coast Waste Management proposes to pay rent in the amount of $8,500.00 per month or $102,000.00 per year. 5. A rent adjustment is to be made for the capital improvements Coast Waste Management intends to make at the Facility as discussed in Question #2. 6. Coast Waste Management is also interested in an option to purchase the Facility at a pre-agreed price. In conclusion I wish to summarize this letter by emphasizing to the County that Coast Waste Management is a quasi public utility which exists to serve the public interest. .Since all levels of government, including the County of San Diego, serve in the public interest, it seems to me that an equitable agreement can be reached concerning the Palomar Facility. We look forward to meeting with you and your staff soon. If you have any questions, meanwhile, please call. Attached to this letter are: 1. Financial data 2. Company organization chart 3.

COAST WASTE MANAGEMENT, INC. REPORT OF STATION INFORMATION, 10/93 The areas or communities serviced by the facility are: Communities Served Bv Coast Waste Carlsbad Solana Beach Del Mar Rancho Santa Fe County areas (San Marcos & Vista) Communites That could Potentially be served Vista San Marcos Oceanside Encinitas Escondido C. Site Plan Description See attached Exhibit 3. D. Nature and Quantity of Wastes to be Accepted 1. Waste Types The materials to be accepted on site are commercial and residential generated waste. No hazardous, liquid or special wastes are accepted. These wastes from the point of contact (collection vehicles) are screened to avoid processing of non-acceptable materials. A copy of this plan is contained in Exhibit 6. This transfer station is operated as a non-public transfer station reducing the probability of accepting non-acceptable materials. COAST WASTE MANAGEMENT, INC. REPORT OF STATION INFORMATION, 10/93 a. General The Coast Waste Management Transfer Station only accepts commercial and residential wastes which require no special handling. These wastes are generally described as follows: Food and food preparation waste Paper and paper products Plastics Green materials and trash from yard clean-up Glass and bottles Metals Home appliances Small dead animals From the list indicated above recycling of the following materials is conducted: Recycled Residential Wastes Newspaper Food and beverage container glass Tin and bi-metal cans Aluminum cans Plastics PET Natural HOPE Colored HOPE Green material 8 COAST WASTE MANAGEMENT, INC. REPORT OF STATION INFORMATION, 10/93 Recycled Commercial Wastes Office paper Cardboard Newspaper Food and beverage container glass Tin and bi-metal cans Aluminum cans Plastics PET Natural HOPE Colored HDPE b. High Liquid Content Wastes Liquid wastes containing more than 50% water are not accepted. c. Designated Wastes No designated wastes have been accepted. d. Hazardous Wastes All hazardous wastes are excluded from entry to the transfer station. Asbestos material is not accepted in the transfer station. a. Other Wastes Requiring Special Handling No special wastes are accepted, including but not limited to powders, liquids, sludges, medical waste and industrial wastes. 2. Waste Quantities a. Design Capacity This station was originally designed for handling 1600 tons per day and was permitted for such in 1979. The station under its building design was originally designed as a site for handling 1600 tons based on drive lane space, access roads, truck stacking and temporary floor storage area. Coast Waste Management is requesting renewal of its permit for the handling of 400 tons as in our permit issued in 1988. Under our use the original floor which is designed for 1,600 tons was modified with a partitioned floor reducing the floor from 25,000 to 11,000 square feet. (Site plan depicts usage under 400 ton use.) Present permitting of the site is for use by Coast Waste Management, Inc. equipment which operates 55 collection trucks (refuse 45, recycling 10) Monday through Friday with 15-18 refuse trucks operating on Saturday. COAST WASTE MANAGEMENT, INC. REPORT OF STATION INFORMATION, 10/93 c. Unusual Peak Loadings Based on the floor capacity of 204 tons excluding material loaded in trucks, this volume is half of the daily tonnage collected by our vehicles. With the collection trucks using the station over a 13.5 hour day we anticipate that no more than 30% of the daily tonnage would ever be on the floor at any given time (120 tons) . d. Average Load Capacity Next Five Years Based on the County of San Diego Public Works tonnage estimates, the tonnage will increase gradually (12%) over the next five years with no growth in tonnage the next year ('93-'94). With our collection of material staying within this growth range, the station at the end of the next five year period should be close to the daily limit. Trucks will either have to be diverted to the nearest landfill or a revision to the permit will need to submitted for increased daily volume. E. Types and Numbers of Vehicles Anticipated to Enter the Station Vehicles using the station are limited to Coast Waste Management vehicles. We operate only 45 refuse collection vehicles and 10 recycling vehicles totaling 55 collection trucks. Traffic count data for site is shown on Exhibit 3a. II. REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS A. Permits and Approvals The station is primarily controlled in its use through the Conditional Use Permit issued by the City of Carlsbad. This Permit reviews the use of the station based on traffic, noise, and cleanliness of the operation and roadway. Additionally, the transfer station has the following permits for the facility: City of Carlsbad, CUP #260 (Exhibit 8) Storm Water Discharge Permit (Exhibit 9) Encina Waste Discharge Permit (Exhibit 10) Sa*h Diego County Air Pollution Control District Permit (Exhibit 11) San Diego County Haulers and Transporters Permit (Exhibit 12) County of San Diego Health Permit (Exhibit 13) 12 COAST WASTE MANAGEMENT, INC. REPORT OF STATION INFORMATION, 10/93 B. Design Requirements The Building was originally designed by the County of San Diego in 1979. Since our operation of the site (1988) we have made only changes to update regulatory requirements from the above agencies. Coast Waste Management added storm water run off berm to control water from entering building (lower storage area), installed a drain for mechanics' cleanup sink, and repaved all surfaces in 1991. All other modifications were installed upon time of occupancy in 1985 and approved by the City of Carlsbad. C. Operational Requirements Operationally, the station is required by the sites City of Carlsbad Conditional Use Permit 260. Included in Exhibit 8 is a copy of the permit and the five year renewal permit. In this permit, we are required to store solid waste no more than 72 hours before disposal, provide cleanup along Palomar Airport Road from the Transfer Station to the City limits, have a vector control program in place, and not store recyclable materials for market more than 30 days. We operate the station with the waste removed in a shorter time frame than indicated in our permit. We have the waste stored on site for no more than 36 hours, Saturday afternoon to Monday Morning. III. OPERATIONS PLAN Attached is Exhibit 3 which is a detailed site plan. This site plan has been updated to show all current conditions and methods of use, (ie.. traffic flows, surface drainage runoff calculations). A. Facility Design l. Design Plans a. Detailed site Plan (1) Tipping Areas The tipping floor is used only by Coast Waste Management vehicles and is not an open public transfer station. The Site is controlled by the Conditional Use Permit to allow only our company vehicles to tip as authorized from the City of Carlsbad. 13 COAST WASTE MANAGEMENT, INC. REPORT OF STATION INFORMATION, 10/93 (2) Storage Areas Salvaged materials (recyclables) which are segregated from the refuse are placed into 40 cubic yard roll off containers and are removed within 48 hours form the station to a material recovery facility located in San Marcos. Materials segregated and stored are plastics, cardboard, paper, steel, aluminum, wood and glass. Identified on the plan is the maintenance area for servicing all equipment and storage of parts and supplies. All incoming materials are left on board collection trucks until material is tipped onto the tipping floor. (3) Parking Areas Coast Waste Management transfer vehicles are parked in the loading area on the central drive lane area of the building. The trailer parking area is indicated on the site plan with scale vehicles depicted on the plan. All of the collection-vehicles are parked in the entire northerly portion of the facility. See site plan for further definition of the area in use for collection vehicle parking. (4) Access Access to the transfer station is made from southern point of the three way intersection of Faraday Avenue and Orion Way. b. Building Floor Plans (including equip, layout) The station design requires that no equipment is necessary for the loading of transfer trucks other than a front end loader. For our station operation we utilize a Catapillar IT28 front end loader. c. Traffic Flow Plan The station traffic flow allows vehicles to enter the site from the northwesterly most portion of the site. Upon entering the site the collection vehicles weigh in at the scales and are directed to proceed to the tipping floor. Upon finishing dumping the materials the trucks then leave through the same access gate as they entered. Exhibit 3a shows the traffic flow with flow indication arrows throughout the site drive lanes. 14 COAST WASTE MANAGEMENT, INC. REPORT OF STATION INFORMATION, 10/93 d. Waste Flow Diagram The waste collection vehicles enter into the station from the easterly entry door of the tipping floor area and turn left. At this point they then back up to the approximate middle of the floor where the refuse is unloaded. Refuse is then picked up with the front end loader and dumped into the open top transfer vehicles parked in the lower level loading area below the southeast corner of the transfer floor are. After loading the trucks are tarped with the hydraulic tarping mechanisms prior to departing from the station. See Exhibit 3a. e. Surface Drainage and Runoff Control Plan The surface area of the site form the Northern half centerline of the building roof drains along with all drive lanes and parking ares to the northerly edge of the property. Drainage then traverses threw a brow ditch on the northern edge of the site west into a storm drain which diverts the drainage south to a retention basin located in the most westerly central portion of the site. Anything beyond what can be contained in the basin where it exits and then goes into the storm drain and removed from the site, the southern portion of the property drains into the dirt areas with runoff proceeding into he storm drain area off site (see Exhibit 4) at the south central boundary. f. Utilities Plan The station is serviced by San Diego Gas and Electric (electricity only) Pacific Telephone, Carlsbad Municipal Water and Encina Waste Water District. Access for these are indicated on the site map. All of the utilities are brought in the site underground. 15 COAST WASTE MANAGEMENT, INC. REPORT OF STATION INFORMATION, 10/93 2. Design Calculations a. Station Capacity Palomar Transfer Station was designed and has a capacity for handling daily 1600 tons of municipal solid waste. Under the revised permit issued in 1988 we operate the station to handle 400 tons per day and have based the site parameter for the 400 tons in the following parameters: Facility operating hours 5:30AM - 8:00PM - 14.5 hour day (Hours which personnel are on site and gates are unlocked) Station hours are from 5:30AM - 7:00PM— 13.5 hour day (Hours which transfer station portion is in use) Unloading of trucks is based on 15 minutes per vehicle with up to 3 trucks dumping in the station at one time. This time requirement would total 54 dumps if all trucks were tipping 7.5 tons per load requiring 810 minutes per day or 13.5 hours. Actual truck types using the station would be trucks with loads ranging from 7.5 to 11 ton loads. With the minimum of 3 trucks dumping at once, 4.5 hours of on floor use would be needed. Sorting & Processing waste shipped through the transfer station is moved directly to the transfer trucks via front end loaders, (ie: CAT IT28) . The transfer trailers are of the top loading type requiring no additional equipment. Recyclables collected are pre- sorted and processed at another location. On floor storage is based on a 20' x 60' x 10' storage area which has a holding capacity of 89 tons based on a 500 Ibs per cubic yard average weight since all trash comes from packer trucks (temporary storage of 12, 9.25 ton truck loads). This storage area is on floor and does not include storage on board transfer trucks. Transfer station access on site is 400 feet of stacking distance from the front of the property to the station's access doors. The station, although being located off El Camino Real, has 1,600 feet of 24 foot wide private access road to handle stacking of vehicles. The on-site width of the access area to the transfer floor is 120 feet wide providing adequate turning and flow through traffic. 16 COAST WASTE MANAGEMENT, INC. REPORT OF STATION INFORMATION, 10/93 b. Traffic Loading The station average daily traffic count is attached to the detailed site plan and is as follows: NON WASTE RELATED TRAFFIC 75 Employees 2x = 150 trips 20 Guests x 2 = 40 trips 40 Buy back center x 2 = 80 trips 10 Recycling vehicles x 2 - 20 trips (Trucks are based at CWM, material processed elsewhere) 45 Refuse Collection vehicles x 2 = 90 trips 5 Recyclable Transfer loads x 2 = 10 trips INCOMING WASTE 20 Refuse collection vehicles X 2 = 40 trips OUTGOING WASTE 5 Transfer loads x 2 = 10 trips TOTAL 440 ADT's 440 ADT'S This sum is less than the total number of trips originally generated under use by the County of San Diego when all collection trucks and the public were utilizing the facility. c. Drainage System Capacities All storm water runoff is contained on site through a siltation basin located in the front portion of the site between the employee parking area and the container storage area. See Exhibit 4 for the drainage calculations and civil engineer's certification. B. Station Improvements 1. Identification Signs See Exhibit 5 depicting the station signage. 2. Entry Signs The stattion. is not a public transfer station and is only utilized by company collection vehicles. 17 COAST WASTE MANAGEMENT, INC. REPORT OF STATION INFORMATION, 10/93 3. Station Security The perimeter of the site is fenced with 6 foot chain link fence with the three access points gated and locked after hours. Access to unlock the site is limited to management personnel. The building office area is alarmed to the City Police Station. The site also has 6 surveillance cameras with recorder for additional security. 4. Roads Roadways and parking areas were resurfaced in 1991 and are composed of asphalt with 3/4 rock to make a stronger road bed. All areas of the roadway were built based on County of San Diego roadbed standards. All roads are cleaned weekly of debris. 5. Visual Screening The entire site is screened with 25 foot landscaping with trees and shrubbery up to 12 foot in height. The Easterly portion of the property along with the screening has a 20 foot bank to provide additional screening. C. Operations The site is a sub parcel of a 237 acre master parcel owned by the County of San Diego. The site and the neighboring users are all industrial and are public utilities. The closest building to the site is approximately 350 feet away which is the City of Carlsbad Fire Station #5. See Exhibit 3. 1. Hours of Operation Transfer portion of the facility is used from 5:30Am to 7:OOPm Monday through Saturday. The facility is closed for Christmas, New Years and Thanksgiving holidays. There are no dwelling units with 1.5 miles of facility. In the prior report the nearest residence was located .3 miles from the station. This home was an old farm house located in the middle of commercial/industrial and was torn down in 1991. 2.

Materials Handling Activities a. Materials Receiving (1) Materials Check-In and Weighing All incoming collection trucks enter from the northwestern most gate to the facility. Upon entry they first weight in at the scales just inside the gate. All vehicles have a written weigh slip made to record the weigh. Upon weighing they are then directed by the weighmaster to proceed to the transfer station. Once into the unloading area the drivers are then directed as the location they are to unload their material on the floor for transfer. 21 COAST WASTE MANAGEMENT, INC. REPORT OF STATION INFORMATION, 10/93 (2) Hazardous Waste Screening Program See Exhibit 6 Hazardous Material Screen Plan and Exhibit 7 the Contingency Plan. (3) Unloading All loads are checked by the station loader operator upon entry to station floor. Drivers enter into the station from the westerly most door and turn left, then backing up onto the mid portion of the floor for dumping their material. The loader operator and operator visually observer the load as it is dumped to make one last pass over the materials to check for load contaminants. The loader operator then loads the material into the transfer trailer waiting below. If material is laden with recyclable or material which potentially contains divertable materials the driver unloads the material near the northeastern corner of the station floor for later sorting in the late afternoon after incoming loads have been completed. A detailed floor map is included in Exhibit 3 following the site plan map. (4) Incoming Materials storage All materials are off loaded in the station floor's just back of center in the station. The material is dumped onto the floor where it is reviewed for the final time by the driver and the loader operator prior to transferring it into the transfer trailers. The materials collected are not left on the floor any longer than one and a half hours or the time for one loaded transfer trailer to leave and return to the landfill with only one transfer truck operating. (5) Hazardous Materials storage Should any hazardous material be received; all personnel are removed from the area and the station manager is immediately contacted. Fire and County Health Services (HAZMAT) are contacted to assure safe containment and disposal. Any hazardous materials which come into the station are then blocked off. If any containment of a liquid is required we have safety absorbent to puddle up the material and avoid it draining into other materials. We have the personnel safety suits, rubber gloving and respirators available to handle preliminary containment prior to the proper personnel arriving from a hazardous materials company. The company which we utilize is Greenfield Environmental. 22 COAST WASTE MANAGEMENT, INC. REPORT OF STATION INFORMATION, 10/93 b. Salvaging and Materials Recovery (1) Materials Separation and Sorting Materials separated for salvage are separated by the loader operator when no vehicles are in on the tipping floor. When the materials are placed into a separate pile they are then hand sorted in the morning prior to incoming morning loads or after the last truck dumps materials at approximately 4:30PM. Before sorting personnel is allowed on the floor the station attendant is notified that no vehicles are to enter the floor area. (2) storage of Salvaged or Recyclable Materials Materials stored onsite are stored in 40 cubic yard rolloff containers prior to removal. (3) Storage of Non-recoverable Residuals Destined for Disposal Materials are collected in separate containment bunkers located outside the station. Recovered paper and corrugated boxes are place in roll off containers and shipped within 48 hours a material recovery facility for final processing. c. Materials Processing and Volume Reduction (1) Size Reduction Size reduction does not occur at the station. (2) Transformation There is no transformation process at the station. (3) Compaction and/or Baling This site only takes in refuse collection vehicles. Material received is not recompacted but loaded into open top trailers. The station does not shred the waste entering the site nor does it use transformation (burning) as a method of volume reduction. d. Materials Removal (1) Loading of Recyclable Material Refuse coming into the station is presorted as to the County of San Diego recycling ordinances.

General servicing of restropms and and common areas are cleaned daily by maintenance. 24 COAST WASTE MANAGEMENT, INC. REPORT OF STATION INFORMATION, 10/93 6. Health and Safety Program All staff must attend monthly safety meetings held by their respective department heads. During the meetings safety subjects change monthly and included are discussion of accidents which have occurred recently to prevent future occurrences. a. Sanitary Facilities This facility is served with sewer by the Encina Water Pollution Control District. The site has five rest room facilities located on site three men rest rooms and two women rest rooms. All restrooms are located within access to employees and visitors while the station is open. b. Water Supply Water is supplied by the City of Carlsbad Water District. There is no use of recycled or gray water on site. c. Communications Facilities The site is wired throughout with load speakers and fire alarms. The tipping floor has a phone. d. Lighting Station is lighted and lights are used throughout the day. The station floor has 12 - 400 lumen low sodium lights with 12 outside parimeter lights to light the parking and access areas. e. Fire Fighting Equipment The entire building is sprinklered and alarmed directly to the City of Carlsbad Fire Department. On site also are four fire hydrants all equipped with hoses which are checked annually to assure they are in proper working order. The perimeter of the building has fire extinguishers within 50 feet of each other for easy access by all personnel. Refer to page four in Exhibit 7 of the Contingency Plan. f. Protection of Users All stair wells and truck paths are painted in yellow to alert personnel of the need to either utilize them or be aware of traffic. The location of fire extinguishers and hydrants are well marked so employees can readily identify their location. 25 COAST WASTE MANAGEMENT, INC. REPORT OF STATION INFORMATION, 10/93 g. Safety Equipment Since the station is a closed station only Coast Waste personnel can utilize the site. All employees are uniformed with orange shirts for visibility, along with goggles, dust protectors, noise suppressors and safety glasses and safety approved vests. h. Power Failure If transport of material was needed to be made during a power outage all equipment including the loader is equipped with lights to continue operations. All of the operating equipment have power backup on site. D. Station Controls 1. Nuisance control The station is located over 350 feet to the closest building and is located over 1.5 miles from the nearest residential unit. The neighboring businesses are utility businesses (ie, Cablevision, Water District, City Fire, Police and City Fleet Maintenance Department) 2. Dust control Tipping floor is contained within a building and material is screened prior to collection to avoid dusty or powdery materials. 3. Vector and Bird control To overall control all vectors the incoming materials placed on the tipping floor are removed from site daily. Material collected and transported to the station are dry which reduce the probability for insects to have a breading area. Site has never had any bird problems since it is in a contained building. For mammal (rodent) control we have under contract a pest control company. 4. Drainage Control All vehicles are washed down by a certified and approved commercial truck washing facility which is connected to the public sewer. Storm run off is contained in a retention basin located on site. The retention basin is used to collect the runoff for the first rain. The drainage system has little chance of collecting trash or debris since the tipping area is in a contained building. Our company maintenance, staff has as part of their daily tasks litter collection around the parameter and throughout the facility grounds disallowing material to run off in the drainage system. 26 COAST WASTE MANAGEMENT, INC. REPORT OF STATION INFORMATION, 10/93 ,5. Litter Control All area of facility and approach roads are policed for litter weekly the facilities parameter and onsite areas are policed daily for litter. The City of Carlsbad monitors the access roads and the truck haul roads where if increased clean up is needed we are notified. To the present we have not had any requests for additional clean from the City up since the station has been under our operation. 6. Noise Control All equipment used is mufflered to reduce noise pollution. Employees are provided with noise suppression equipment ( muffles and ear plugs). We have never had any calls regarding noise levels of our operations from offsite. 7. Odor Control All material is removed daily with the floor swept nightly. 8. Traffic Control Vehicles entering the site whether to use the transfer station or otherwise enter the property from El Camino Real. If the vehicular traffic enters the station's approach road from the south, El Camino Real has a decell ramp area prior to entering the access road. This road also has a wide excel area for entering El Camino Real to the north. Traffic cannot exit across traffic from this access road heading south. Traffic entering the station from the northern approach enter the station from El Camino Real and Faraday Avenue. This intersection is signalized with left turn signals and turn lanes. Access to the station is prohibited by locked gates clearly visible from the access road. Gate entrance area is over 50 feet wide asphalt area so vehicles can turn back onto the access road without hindering traffic. E. Station Records and Reporting Procedures The station records are kept by the station operations manager and the dispatcher daily. Which are compiled into quarterly reports. These quarterly reports compile the daily weekly and monthly volumes in a cubic yard basis and convert them to tons. We have used the estimate of 500 Ibs per cubic yard as our conversion factor historically. 27 COAST WASTE MANAGEMENT, INC. REPORT OF STATION INFORMATION, 10/93 1. Weight Volume Records The volume information has been recorded up to recent on a volume basis with the trucks indicating the approximately load 1/4, 1/2 , 3/4 or full. The trucks are all registered with the County of San Diego under our transporters permit which has the capacity designated. We then record the volume based on the cubic yard capacity of the vehicle. The cubic yards are converted to tons using 500 pounds to a cubic yard. Once the material is transported via transfer trailers to the landfill we then record all outgoing loads with a County or other certified weigh ticket. 2. Special Occurrences All occurrences are recorded on the daily transfer station log. The special occurrence is the then written up on a special occurrence form and submitted to the County with our quarterly records. We have had only two special occurrences since the station has been under our operation. These were for a water base latex paint spill and for an acid drum. The later of these events was handled by Greenfield Environmental for proper disposal of contaminants. All incidents are recorded and submitted to the Health Department inspector after their occurrence and are included in our quarterly report. 3. Inspection of Records All records are located on site and are available for review Monday through Friday from 8:00AM - 5:00PM. Information regarding the operating tonnages are recorded daily and submitted to regulatory agencies semi-annually. 28 Site Plan Legend.....*.. .* ........ ...» •.. .^ (j Palomar Transfer Station 1000'Radius Lease Boundary Parcel Line Easement High Pressure Gas Line \v Water Line F High Pressure Fuel Line s Sewer Line • Overhead Utility Pole x Chain Link Fence Fire Hydrant Street Light e Flood Light o Sewer Manhole D Catch Basin Manufactured Slope Contours of Equal Elevation Exhibit Site Location Map Palomar Transfer Station-Operated By Coast Waste Management h y H (3< ~r Communmes Served by Coast Waste Management-Typical/ -4^\ ",-< ^j.

III. ANALYSIS The General Plan Consistency Determination for the property under consideration is subject to the following regulations: A, GENERAL PLAN - Land Use Element, and B. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW - California Environmental Quality Act. A. GENERAL PLAN The Land Use Element of the General Plan contains several goals and objectives applicable to the proposed acquisition of the subject property for public purposes. The proposed acquisition is consistent with the following goals and objectives of the Land Use Element: Overall Land Use Pattern Goal A.2. - "A City which provides for an orderly balance of both public and private land uses within convenient and compatible locations throughout the community and ensures that all such uses, type, amount, design, and arrangement serve to protect and enhance the environment, character and image of the City." Acquisition of the property for public purposes (including a waste transfer station) is consistent with this goal. The existing use on the subject property is consistent with the General Plan designation and is compatible with surrounding existing and anticipated uses. The existing use has an approved Conditional Use Permit (CUP 260x2) and State Waste Facility Operating Permit and was fully reviewed under applicable California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). Regulations (EAD 77-7-34). Overall Land Use Pattern Objective B.3. - 'To provide for the social and economic needs of the community in conjunction with permitted land uses." Acquisition of the subject property is consistent with this objective. City acquisition of the site with the existing transfer station will provide for the social and economic good of the community by allowing the City to stabilize long-term plans for disposal of the City's solid waste. Such stabilization will result in economic benefits to the City through disposal cost savings. Growth Management and Public Facilities Goal A.3. - "A City that responsibly deals with the disposal of solid and liquid waste." APPLICATION COMPLETE DATE: NOVEMBER 9. 1994 STAFF PLANNER: ELAINE BLACKBURN STAFF REPORT DATE: DECEMBER 21, 1994 TO; PLANNING COMMISSION FROM: PLANNING DEPARTMENT SUBJECT: PCD/GPC 94-04 - PALOMAR TRANSFER STATION ACQUISITION - Request for approval of a Planning Commission Determination of General Plan Consistency for the acquisition of a 17.2 acre site owned by the County of San Diego Airports Division and located on the east side of El Camino Real approximately 1500 feet north of Palomar Airport Road. I.RECOMMENDATION That the Planning Commission ADOPT Planning Commission Resolution No. 3733 APPROVING PCD/GPC 94-04, based upon the findings contained therein. II.PROJECT DESCRIPTION AND BACKGROUND Section 65402 of the California Government Code requires that no real property shall be acquired for public purposes until a General Plan Consistency determination has been made. The City Manager's Office has requested that a General Plan Consistency Determination be made for the acquisition of approximately 17.2 acres owned by the County of San Diego Airports Division and located on the east side of El Camino Real approximately 1500 feet north of Palomar Airport Road for the purpose of stabilizing Carlsbad's long-term solid waste management program. (The goal of the City's overall program is to secure the most cost-effective environmentally sound means of disposing of solid waste.) The existing waste transfer station on the site would continue to operate as it currently operates. The property proposed for acquisition is designated on the General Plan Land Use Map for PI (Planned Industrial) land uses. Surrounding properties to the North, West, and East are also designated PI. The property to the South is designated G (Governmental Facilities). (This property runs along the North side of Palomar Airport Road and is used by the Airport as a location for airport landing lights.) The area to be acquired would, of necessity, also include areas contiguous to the existing transfer station (e.g., the current City Hiring Center). This is due to the fact that acquisition of the transfer station site alone would leave uneconomic remainder parcels. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 1.1 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 PASSED, APPROVED, AND ADOPTED at a regular meeting of the Planning j Commission of the City of Carlsbad, California, held on the 21st day of December, 1994, by the I following vote, to wit: | AYES: Chairperson Savary; Commissioners Welshons, Noble, Erwin, Compas, Nielsen, and Monroy.

It selects the optimum number of transfer stations and identifies potential sites for those facilities. Two committees were instrumental in the guidance and completion of this study: a policy committee comprised of representative council members from the eight north county cities and a technical committee composed of staff members from the eight cities and representatives from the Fallbrook and Bonsall Planning Groups. PREFERRED TRANSFER STATION SCENARIO The optimum number of transfer stations was determined to be seven, with sites in Oceanside, Vista, Carlsbad, San Marcos, Escondido, the Fallbrook area and one in the Del Mar/Solana Beach/Encinitas area. This configuration resulted from analyzing both economic and noneconomic factors. Economics The economic analysis consisted of computing the estimated costs to haul trash to a transfer station and transport it to the new landfills. Eight scenarios (different combinations of number, size and generalized location of stations) along with three possible landfill locations were analyzed. The economic analysis showed that the north county system costs will be similar no matter how many transfer stations are built. The reduced capital costs resulting from building one large station to serve the entire region is off-set by higher transportation costs for the haulers and private citizens to drive to that one location. On the other extreme, the increased capital investment necessary to build seven transfer stations is off-set by the cost saving from reduced driving distances for haulers and the public. JOB:89001-ES2 12/07/89 - vi Since the economic analysis indicates that there is no overwhelming economic advantage in selecting a specificrnumber of transfer stations to be built, the "noneconomic" portions of the study became even more important. Noneconomic Factors A list of noneconomic factors (convenience, land use compatibility, local control, traffic impacts, etc.) were created in conjunction with the technical committee and then ranked in order of importance by the cities. Through their rankings of these noneconomic factors, the cities have indicated that they preferred the control and reduced environmental impacts associated with smaller, more numerous transfer stations. Multiple transfer stations result in fewer traffic related impacts, are more convenient to trash haulers and private citizens, and provide convenient centers for recycling efforts and household hazardous waste management. MOST SUITABLE TRANSFER STATION SITES While the process of selecting the number and general location of transfer stations was proceeding, suitable sites for these facilities were also being identified. In order to find acceptable sites, a series of criteria (distance from waste centroid, zoning and general plan designations, distances from major transportation corridors, etc.) were developed and applied to the study area. The goal was to find potential sites that are technically feasible, environmentally suitable, and acceptable to the local community. Seventeen suitable sites were found that meet the criteria; these sites are identified in Figures 3-2 to 3-8 beginning on page 3-17. A preliminary environmental review indicated that any environmental impacts associated with these 17 based on the preferred alternative sites could be mitigated. Potential traffic impacts associated with each site are discussed beginning on page 4-5. Detailed site assessments will be done on final selected sites during the next phase which will include the preparation of the EIR. JOB:89001-ES2 12/07/89 - vii SECTION 1.0 PURPOSE OF STUDY SECTION 1.0 PURPOSE OF STUDY 1.1 STUDY OBJECTIVE This study identifies a transfer station system and specific sites for transfer station facilities to service the North San Diego County (North County) study area (see Figure 1- 1.) With the San Marcos landfill expected to reach its permitted capacity by mid 1991, North San Diego County must develop alternatives that can receive more than a million tons per year of trash. A new landfill soon will be selected from among three proposed in the north-central part of San Diego County (County). The County made a decision to close the new landfill to direct haul and public vehicles in order to reduce the environmental impacts of the landfill. The longer haul distances associated with the proposed landfill sites, however, add to the expense of running collection operations. Fuel costs increase because the trucks must travel longer distances. Collection productivity decreases, because crews spend more time traveling to the landfill site, rather than performing their primary function — collecting refuse. In order to minimize the expense and traffic impacts associated with longer haul distances to the landfill a transfer station system is being planned to service the study area. Transfer stations will receive refuse from commercial collection vehicles as well as commercial and public self-haul vehicles, and consolidate it into large volume trailers for more efficient and economical transfer to the landfill. Savings accrue from the ability to haul large amounts (up to 25 tons) in a single vehicle, freeing collection crews to return to their routes. A well designed and planned transfer station system can help minimize expected future cost increases, conserve energy, reduce truck trips, and provide opportunities for recovering materials from the waste stream. 1.2 CONTEXT Realizing the need for an effective solid waste management system to service the future needs of the area, the County of San Diego has been working toward the development of such a system for a number of years. JOB:89001-la 12/07/89 1 - i North County Study Area JOB:89001-la 12/07/89 1 -2 In response to the pending closure of the San Marcos Landfill, the County of San Diego issued an RFP in August 1987 to identify and evaluate potential landfill sites in the northwest quadrant of the county. This study was an extension of a similar study conducted in 198G. At the time this transfer station study was underway, four landfill sites were identified and were undergoing environmental review; one site, Trujillo Canyon, has since been dropped from further consideration (see Figure 1-2). A decision on the final site is expected to be made by mid-1990. In addition to securing long term landfill capacity, the County has also aggressively pursued other waste management options. Among these options are the further development and expansion of recycling arid composting activities throughout the County and the development of a waste-to-energy facility at the San Marcos landfill site. The development of waste-to-energy project for the County has been in the works for some time. The County is negotiating with a vendor to construct the facility. Since the County established a policy of no direct haul and general public vehicles to the potential landfill site, the County realized it needed to develop an efficient transfer station system and enlisted the services of Brown, Vence & Associates in early 1989. The development of this system is based on the assumption that the transfer stations will be sized to receive all waste from the study area (minus 20 percent of the waste source- separated or recycled). Although the waste-to-energy facility could be on-line as early as 1993, there are planned periods of down-time for the facility, and the transfer stations will need to accommodate all of the trash normally going to the facility during these scheduled, and any unscheduled, periods of down-time. Therefore, the transfer stations are being sized as though the waste-to-energy facility did not exist. Since this study began in Spring of 1989, the California legislature passed the Integrated Waste Management Act of 1989 (AB 939). Aggressive goals for local recycling mandated in this law heighten the importance of city and county source reduction and recycling programs. Transfer stations can play an important part in harboring recycling, materials recovery, and composting activities in the future. JOB:89001-la 12/07/89 1 - 3 .TORrRQnm-1 a io/n7/QQ 1.3 SUMMARY OF APPROACH The approach used in developing the transfer station system involved two concurrent major tasks: the development of the preferred transfer station scenario; and the identification of most suitable sites (Figure 1-3). The study area could be served by a single, large, centralized transfer station or by two or more smaller dispersed stations. To evaluate these possibilities, seven transfer station scenarios (i.e., various combinations of number, size, and general location of transfer stations) were developed. These scenarios were then analyzed both from an economic and noneconomic standpoint. Each scenario was rated according to how well it satisfied the economic and noneconomic evaluation criteria. This process determined a preferred transfer station system which most effectively satisfied the criteria. The process and results are contained in Section 2.0 of this report. While this process was proceeding, suitable sites (i.e. specific locations) were also identified. This process involved the development of exclusionary criteria (i.e., criteria which must be met in order to qualify for further consideration) and preferential siting criteria (i.e., criteria which were applied to those sites which satisfied the exclusionary criteria in order to provide further evaluation). Areas which met the exclusionary criteria were identified and subjected to further review based on the preferential criteria. A list of 41 candidate sites was developed and a detailed evaluation was conducted. The result of this process was the identification of 17 potentially suitable sites for the transfer stations.' These two products, the preferred scenario and the most suitable sites, were then combined to yield a picture of the most acceptable scenario (i.e., number, size and specific location of the transfer stations). Throughout this study, the County and consultant team have met regularly with city staff representatives, city council representatives and local haulers to receive their input and comments on work in progress.

A "scenario" is an analysis tool with a set of associated assumptions. Initially, five transfer station scenarios were developed representing various configurations of number, size, and location of transfer stations. These scenarios were then presented to each of the cities within the study area for their review. Based on this review, two new transfer station scenarios were added, bringing the total number of scenarios to seven. A scenario is based on amounts of waste from seven collection areas. Section 2.2 presents these waste quantities. Section 2.3 describes in more detail the process for identifying a scenario. In Section 2.4, a description of the seven scenarios developed for this study is provided and a brief comparison with three scenarios developed by SCS Engineers in the Landfill Siting Study is presented. In Section 2.5, these seven scenarios are evaluated to determine their impact, both economic and noneconomic, on participating communities. In Section 2.6, the preferred scenario is presented in terms of number, size, and location of transfer stations. Seven waste sheds (or areas of waste generation) were identified in the study area (Figure 2-1). These are represented by the collection areas for: San Marcos; Vista; Oceanside; Carlsbad; Fallbrook; the Escondido collection area, which for the purpose of this study includes Valley Center and Pauma Valley; and the San Dieguito collection area which includes Encinitas, Solana Beach, and the City of Del Mar. Various combinations of transfer stations were then developed to service these waste sheds. For purposes of maximizing hauling efficiency, the geographic centers or "centroids" of waste generation were determined for each collection area or combination of collection areas according to the various scenarios. This was done by approximating the central point of population for the year 2000, the appropriate midpoint of the planning time frame, using San Diego Association of Governments (SanDAG) Series 7 population estimates. JOB:89001-2 12/12/89 2 - 1 FIGURE 2-1Collection Areas JOB:89001-2 12/12/89 2-2 2.1.1 Relationship to the Proposed NC R R A Waste-to-Energy Facility The scenarios assume that final disposal of the solid waste will be at a landfill in a remote location. (A new landfill will be selected by the County from among three proposed in the north-central part of the County.) The transfer stations will be sized to receive all waste from the study area (minus 20 percent waste recycled at the source). A waste-to-energy facility proposed by NCRRA could be on-line as early as 1993 and would receive approximately 550,000 tons of trash every year. Because there are planned periods of down-time for the NCRRA plant, the transfer stations will need to be able to accommodate all of the trash normally going to the NCRRA plant during those periods of time. Therefore, the transfer station facilities will be sized as though the NCRRA plant did not exist. In addition, the transfer stations are designed to handle the projected waste generated in the year 2010, more than twice the current amount, and to accommodate aggressive material recovery. In this regard, the design capacities of the facilities are very conservative. 2.2 QUANTITIES OF WASTE IN NORTH COUNTY STUDY AREA BY COLLECTION AREA Waste quantity estimates for the study area are based on the total amount of trash taken to the San Marcos Landfill during the County's fiscal year 1988/1989, escalated at a 5 percent annual combined growth rate for population increases and per capita refuse production. The initial analysis year was 1992, the planned start date for transfer station operation. Waste quantities for each of seven identified collection areas within the study area were then determined based on the assumption that waste generation was directly proportional to population. SanDAG Series 7 population forecasts for each collection area were used as the basis for this determination. Waste quantity projections for the year 2010 were used as the basis for facility design. Table 2-1 provides a breakdown of waste quantities by collection area. For purposes of this study, the City of Del Mar was combined with the San Dieguito collection area, and the Pauma Valley and Valley Center collection areas were included in the Escondido collection area.

However, the chosen transfer station system serving eight cities and the unincorporated County must satisfy local waste disposal objectives. In order to test different combinations of number, size, and location of transfer stations, five initial transfer-station "scenarios" were developed. These scenarios reflect two extreme "policy" alternatives; i.e., a single centralized transfer station to serve the entire study area; and a decentralized transfer station system with a facility in each of the seven identified collection areas. The other scenarios fall between these two extremes (see Section 2.4). These scenarios were presented to each of the cities within the study area for their review. Based on this review, two additional scenarios were developed, bringing the total number of transfer station scenarios to seven. For all scenarios, we have defined the collection areas served by the transfer station(s) and identified the corresponding waste centroid or geographic center of waste generation. There are two types of waste centroids used in this study: 1) Collection area waste centroid — The approximate point of highest density of solid waste production in a collection area. It is used in this study as a convenient point from which to measure the direct haul distance to a transfer station. 2) Transfer station waste centroid — The approximate center point of waste generation for the areas serviced by a transfer station. The transfer station waste centroid can be an existing collection area or a combination of collection areas. In cases where it represents a combination of collection areas, the centroid is derived by calculating the weighted average distance from each collection area waste centroid, proportional to the amount of waste generated. In this study, transfer station waste centroids are used to find the approximate location for each transfer station in a scenario and are used to measure transfer haul distance to the landfill. JOB:89001-2 12/12/89 2-5 For each scenario, transfer station locations are assumed to be within three miles of the transfer station waste- centroid, as defined in Section 3.0. Waste centroids were identified using population data and maps. SanDAG Series 7 census data was recorded for each of the census tracts within the various collection permit areas of the study area. Population forecasts for the year 2000 (the approximate midpoint of facility operations) were then used, along with appropriate local mapping, to determine the location of the waste centroid for each collection area. For this analysis, waste generation is assumed to be proportional to population for any area under consideration. For each scenario which involved consolidating two or more collection permit areas, a new waste centroid was determined. This was based upon a proportional weighting analysis conducted on each of its components. In all cases, each collection area was considered as a whole. 2.4 TRANSFER STATION SCENARIOS For all of the scenarios, the sizing of the facilities is based on projected waste quantities for the year 2010, and assumes that a waste-to-energy facility will not be operating. The facilities have also been designed to accommodate aggressive material recovery. The facility(s) are intended to be open to receiving and transporting waste seven days per week. The majority of the waste, however, will be received Monday through Saturday. The transfer stations' capacities have therefore been designed based on a six-day-per- week operating schedule in order to more effectively accommodate the typical distribution of waste throughout the week. This section will describe the scenarios analyzed in this study and will also compare them to those developed by SCS Engineers. 2.4.1 Scenarios Developed Under This Study Scenario 1 This scenario assumes that all of the waste generated in the study area that is not recovered will be delivered to a single, centrally located transfer station. JOB:89001-2 12/12/89 2-6 Collection Areas Serviced Size (TPDg) Escondido/San Marcos/Vista San DieguitoACarlsbad/Oceanside/Fallbrook 7,148 This scenario is shown in Figure 2-2. Scenario 2 Scenario 2 involves siting two transfer stations servicing the following collection areas: Collection Areas Serviced Size (TPDg) Escondido/San Marcos/Vista/San Dieguito Carlsbad/Oceanside 6,683 Fallbrook 465 This scenario is shown in Figure 2-3. Scenario 3 Scenario 3 involves siting three transfer stations servicing the following collection areas: Collection Areas Serviced Size (TPDg) Escondido/Vista/San Marcos 3,362 Carlsbad/Oceanside/San Dieguito 3,321 Fallbrook 465 This scenario is shown in Figure 2-4. Scenario 4 Scenario 4 involves siting four transfer stations which would service the following collection areas: Collection Areas Serviced Size (TPDg) Vista/Oceanside/Carlsbad 3,260 San Marcos/Escondido 2,548 San Dieguito 875 Fallbrook 465 This scenario is shown in Figure 2-5. JOB:89001-2 12/12/89 2-7 Scenarios Scenario 5 involves siting seven transfer stations located within three miles of the waste centroid of each of the following collection areas: Collection Areas Serviced Size (TPDg) Escondido 1,830 Oceanside 1,375 Carlsbad 1,071 San Dieguito 875 Vista 814 San Marcos 718 Fallbrook 465 This scenario is shown in Figure 2-6. These five initial scenarios were provided to each of the cities within the study area for their review. Based on this review, two additional scenarios were developed: Scenario 6: This scenario involves siting three transfer stations servicing the following collection areas: Collection Areas Serviced Size (TPDg) Escondido/San Marcos/Vista San Dieguito/Carlsbad 5,308 Oceanside 1,375 Fallbrook 465 This scenario is shown in Figure 2-7. Scenario 7 This scenario involves siting six transfer stations servicing the following collection areas: Collection Areas Serviced Size (TPDg) Escondido 1,830 San Marcos/San Dieguito 1,593 Oceanside 1,375 Carlsbad 1,071 Vista 814 Fallbrook 465 This scenario is shown in Figure 2-8. JOB:89001-2 12/12/89 2 - 8 Fifteen different sizes of transfer stations resulted from the seven scenarios which were developed. For the purposes of analysis, these transfer stations were organized into six groups, which are listed below. The economic and noneconomic analysis of the seven transfer station scenarios is provided in Section 2.5. As has been discussed, the development of the transfer station system capacity is very conservative in that sizing is based on waste generation figures for the year 2010, and assumes that the NCRRA waste-to-energy facility will not be operating. In addition, transfer stations can often accommodate waste quantities beyond their design capacity, if needed, by altering the operational characteristics of the facility (e.g., extended hours, increased staffing). Therefore, although the analysis sizes chosen for the transfer stations are in some cases less than the scenario sizes which are presented, they are deemed more than adequate to handle the projected waste quantities. Transfer Station Transfer Station Scenario Sizes (TPDg) Analysis Size (TPDg) 465/718 600 814/875/1,071 1,000 1375/1593 1,500 1,830 2,000 2548/3260/3321/3362 3,000 5308/6683/7148 6,000 2.4.2 SCS Scenarios SCS Engineers developed three transfer station scenarios as part of their work on the North County landfill siting study. The SCS scenarios do not identify specific transfer station sites, but rather define areas within various population centers in the North County area. The three transfer station scenarios developed by SCS are as follows: I. • Three transfer stations located in the following areas: Carlsbad/Oceanside San Marcos/Escondido Fallbrook JOB:89001-2 12/12/89 2-9 II. • Four transfer stations located in the following areas: Oceanside San Marcos Encinitas Fallbrook III. • Eight transfer stations located in the following areas: Carlsbad Oceanside San Marcos Escondido Encinitas Fallbrook Solana Beach Vista The relationship of the SCS scenarios to the transfer station scenarios which were developed as part of this study is discussed below. SCS Scenario I is similar to BVA's Scenario 3 and 6 in that each scenario proposes the siting of three transfer stations within the study area. The general locations of the transfer stations for the SCS scenario and the BVA scenarios are also similar. SCS Scenario II is similar to BVA's Scenarios 4 in that both scenarios propose siting four transfer stations within the study area. The general locations of the transfer stations for both the SCS and BVA scenarios are also similar. SCS Scenario III is closest to BVA's Scenarios 5 and 7. Waste from Encinitas, Solana Beach, and Del Mar are combined with San Marcos in Scenario 5, resulting in six transfer stations serving the study area, rather than the eight proposed by SCS. Scenario 5 includes seven transfer stations, the only difference being one facility serving the three small coastal communities rather than one each in Encinitas and Solana Beach.

The process described in this section uses both the economic results and noneconomic factors as evaluation criteria. Since some factors are more important in the minds of the communities and the County, they are given more significance through weighting factors. This section summarizes the evaluation and selection process for the transfer station scenarios. This process involved the development of evaluation criteria and the analysis of the seven transfer station scenarios with respect to these criteria. Scores were then weighted based on the average degree of importance assigned to each criterion by the cities participating in the study. A final score was calculated for each scenario and a most acceptable scenario was determined, based on the final scoring. The economic evaluation involved complex modeling of the costs associated with the future transfer station system to result in a total cost figure for each scenario. This analysis is described briefly in Section 2.5.2 and in more detail in Appendix C. 2.5.1 Criteria Development and Weighting Process The selection process for the most acceptable transfer station system for North San Diego County began by developing the evaluation criteria. Various technical, environmental, economic, and institutional criteria were developed, then reviewed and revised by the City/County Advisory Committee to reflect community concerns and priorities. The resulting 12 evaluation criteria are described in Table 2-2. Next, city staff and council representatives were asked to decide how important a criterion was for their jurisdictions by assigning a weighting factor. Representatives were asked to distribute a total of 100 points among the 12 criteria, based on their degree of importance. The averaged results of the assignments were taken to be the weighting factors for each criterion. Table 2-3 shows the averaged results of the weighting process; Appendix D contains the individual community responses and further detail on the weighting and ranking process. According to the results, the communities (as a whole) place high emphasis on a transfer station configuration that maximizes local control, is compatible with local land uses, and minimizes overall costs. Minimization of traffic impacts was also an emphasized issue.

Communities in the North County study area will want to know how a transfer station system will affect the cost of solid waste management. These scenarios can be compared with each other and with a no-project alternative, i.e., hauling the waste directly to the selected landfill. A series of assumptions were made affecting cost and were analyzed over a 20 year period. Comparative results on cost per ton, total cost of a system, and cost to each community were produced. (See Appendix C.) This section summarizes the results of the analysis of costs for the seven transfer station scenarios and the base case (i.e., direct haul to landfill). At the time this analysis was performed, four landfills were still under consideration by the County. Although Trujillo Canyon has since been dropped, it was included in the analysis and appears in Appendix C. Since three future landfill sites are under consideration by the County, the analysis looks at the difference in cost to transport waste to each. The analysis results in a total of 32 different cases or combinations of transfer stations and landfills. The economic analysis of a transfer station system consists of four major components: 1) Cost to haul waste from point of collection to transfer station. 2) Costs of constructing, owning, and operating a transfer station. 3) Costs of transporting the waste from the transfer station to the landfill. 4) Cost of disposal at the landfill. Figure 2-9 is a schematic of these components of the economic analysis. The purpose of the analysis is to compare the costs of each alternative. Important outputs of the analysis are the net annual costs, costs per ton of waste, and net present value of the costs for each of the seven collection areas for each alternative. These costs are also further divided into those accrued by the commercial collectors in each area and those incurred by self-haulers. All important model results are expressed as a "present value" of a cost. Present value is used to provide a benchmark for comparing projects with differing cash flows over an extended period of time. It measures what future cash flow is worth in terms of the first JOB:89001-2 12/12/89 2-21 year value. Present value, net costs in the model is the sum of the discounted value (in first year dollars) of each year's total costs. Each of the seven scenarios and the direct haul base case was evaluated assuming ultimate disposal at each of the three landfill locations. The most economically attractive option depends upon the ultimate landfill location. Tables 2-4 through 2-6 illustrate the total cost for each scenario and direct haul under the differing landfill choices. Results of the analyses indicate that: With respect to all transfer station systems analyzed, Gregory Canyon landfill is the least costly alternative because it is closest to the collection area centroids. Aspen Road and Blue Canyon are, in increasing order, more expensive alternatives. If the landfill is located at Blue Canyon, the transfer station scenarios become less costly than direct haul on a net present value basis. If the landfill is located at Aspen Road or Gregory Canyon, then direct haul is less costly. Scenario 1 (one transfer station) is the least costly transfer station scenario followed by -- in order of increasing cost — scenario 6 (three transfer stations); scenario 4 (four transfer stations); scenario 3 (three transfer stations); scenario 2 (two transfer stations); scenario 5 (seven transfer stations); and scenario 7 (six transfer stations). An anomaly occurs with the Gregory Canyon location where scenario 3 becomes the least costly but the remaining order stays the same. On a per ton basis, costs in the transfer station options increase at a slower rate than the direct haul options. This is because the annualized capital costs remain fixed, but the haul and disposal costs avoided by having the transfer station(s) continue to escalate. If the transfer station(s) operates for longer than 20 years, the incrementally lower costs in the ensuing years would tend to make each of the transfer station scenarios even less costly relative to direct haul. A breakdown of the costs associated with the transfer station scenarios on a net present value of costs basis is presented in Table 2-4 through Table 2-6. The transfer station capital and O&M costs can be a significant portion of the overall waste disposal costs when multiple transfer stations are involved such as in JOB:89001-2 12/12/89 2-22 . Scenarios 5 (seven transfer stations) and 7 (six transfer stations). If the transfer stations are operated for longer than 20 years, the scenarios with more transfer stations become relatively more favorable. If the waste growth assumptions are too low, then the transfer station(s) scenarios become proportionally less costly. Conversely, if the assumptions are too high, then the transfer stations become more costly. Costs by collection area and hence for the individual waste haulers vary considerably among and between scenarios. Communities nearest the larger transfer stations generally have relatively lower overall disposal costs. • The ranking of scenarios is different for some collection areas than for the North County Area as a whole. This is due to factors such as transfer station capital costs, direct haul distances to transfer stations, and tonnages. 2.5.3 Scenario Scoring and Selection Process Following the development of the evaluation criteria and weighing factors, the process of scoring the scenarios was undertaken. Each of the seven scenarios was assigned an initial score for each criterion, based on the degree of compatibility with that criterion (e.g., seven transfer stations are more convenient for more people than one centralized transfer station). In those cases in which a given scenario represented a worst case situation for a given collection area (e.g., the least convenient possible option or the most detrimental to air quality), it was assigned a score of 0. If a scenario satisfied a criteria completely (e.g., the most convenient possible situation or the greatest minimization of other environmental impacts) it received a perfect score. All other scenarios falling between these extremes were scored proportionally. A scale of 0 to 3 was used to determine final scoring. For ease of analysis, certain criterion were scored on a scale of 0 to 100; these scores were then normalized based on a scale of 0 to 3.

Scoring for convenience was based on the distance from each collection area to the corresponding transfer station for each scenario. As an example, for the San Dieguito collection area, the distance from the collection area to the transfer station for the various scenarios ranged from 16 miles (scenario 2) to 0 miles (scenarios 4 and 5). Scenario 2, therefore, is the least convenient options and received a score of 0 while scenarios 4 and 5 are the most convenient possible option and therefore received a score of 100. Each of the remaining scenarios were scored proportionally. For example, the distance from the San Dieguito collection area to the transfer station for Scenario 7 is 10 miles. This is 38 percent more convenient (i.e., closer to the most convenient possible option) than the least convenient scenario; it therefore received a score of 38. The scores for each collection area, per each scenario, were multiplied by the percent of the total study area population living in the collection area in order to weight these scores by percent of the population affected. This process resulted in an overall score for each collection area, per each scenario. The cumulative scores for the collection areas represented the total score for the scenario. This general process was followed for all criteria. Scoring for direct haul pattern disruption was based on the absolute difference between the miles currently driven from each collection area to the San Marcos Landfill and the miles which would be driven from each collection area to the corresponding transfer station for each scenario. Scoring for air quality was based on the miles driven from the collection area to the transfer station for commercial collection and self-haul vehicles, and the miles driven from the transfer station to a common point for the transfer vehicles for each scenario. Total vehicle miles driven was assumed to be directly proportional to the impact on air quality; i.e, the more miles driven, the greater the adverse impact on air quality. JOB:89001-2 12/12/89 2-28 The scoring process for traffic impact was identical to that for air quality. The total vehicle miles driven was determined for each collection area per each scenario and assumed to be directly proportional to the impact on traffic; the more miles driven, the greater the adverse impact on traffic. Scoring for roadways was also based on vehicle miles driven from each collection area to the corresponding transfer station, and from the transfer station to a common point per each scenario. Commercial collection, commercial self-haul, and transfer trailer vehicle miles were considered in this analysis. The contribution of public self-haul vehicles to roadway degradation was not considered significant in comparison to the other vehicle types and was therefore not considered in this analysis. Scoring for other environmental factors was based on the distance from the collection area to the transfer station. If a transfer station was sited within a collection area for a given scenario, it was assumed that this would result in the least minimization of other environmental factors, with respect to that collection area. That scenario therefore received a score of 0 for that particular collection area. In those cases in which a scenario involved siting a transfer station the furthest away from a given collection area, it was assumed that that would minimize the other environmental impacts on that collection area. That scenario therefore received a score of 100 for that particular collection area. For each scenario, the criterion score for each collection area was multiplied by the percent of the total study area population residing in that collection area to determine a final score. The combined scores for each of the collection areas provided the overall score for each scenario, with respect to the various criteria. The criteria of flexibility, technical risk, local land-use compatibility, level of participation, and local control were not easily quantified and were scored more qualitatively. Scoring for the flexibility criterion was based on the size of the facility. A facility under 500 TPD was considered inflexible and received a score of 1; a facility between 500 TPD and 1,500 TPD was considered moderately flexible and received a score of 2. All facilities over 1,500 TPD were considered very flexible and received a score of 3. JOB:89001-2 12/12/89 2-29 Scoring for technical risk was also based on the size of the facility. Facilities under 4,000 TPD are considered to be adequately demonstrated and therefore technically feasible and received a_score of 3. Facilities over 4,000 TPD are not common, and they were therefore assumed to be technically risky and received a score of 1. Scoring for local land use compatibility assumed that it is better to have fewer facilities in terms of minimizing siting problems due to local citizenry objections. If a given scenario involved siting a facility in a collection area, it was assumed that there would be local objections. The collection area therefore received a score of 0. If, on the other hand, a scenario did not involve siting a facility in a collection area, it was assumed that there would be no objections and that collection area received a score of 3. If for a given scenario a particular facility could be sited in two or more collection areas, based on the location of the transfer station centroid, it was assumed that each area had an equal chance of having the facility sited, and scoring was based accordingly. For example, if the facility could be sited in any of 3 areas, then each area had a 67 percent chance of not having the facility, and therefore not having citizenry objections. Each area therefore received a score of 67. This approach was also used in scoring the criteria of local control and level of participation. Scoring for local control assumed that if a facility was sited in a collection area for a given scenario, that collection area had local control and was therefore given a score of 3. If, on the other hand, a facility was not sited in a collection area, then that collection area had no local control and received a score of 0. Scoring for level of participation was based on the degree to which the scenarios satisfied each of the collection areas (communities) preferred level of involvement. If a scenario satisfied a given collection areas preferred level of involvement it received a score of 3 if it failed to satisfy the areas preferred level of involvement it received a score of 0. The economics for each scenario were also scored and included, along with the noneconomic criteria in the selection process. The least expensive scenario receiving a score of 100 and the remaining scenarios were scored inversely proportional to their percent additional cost. The results for each criterion/scenario, the scoring methodology, and assumptions are presented in Appendix E. JOB:89001-2 12/12/89 2-30 The last step of the process involved determining a final score and ranking for each of the scenarios. The score of each scenario per each criterion was multiplied times the weighting factor associated with that criterion. The sum total of the weighted scores was then taken to be the final score for that scenario. The scenario with the highest final score was taken as the most acceptable scenario for the County. The results of this process are presented in Table 2-7. According to the results of this evaluation process, the number one ranked transfer station configuration is Scenario 5, which involved siting seven transfer stations in the following areas: Escondido, Oceanside, Carlsbad, San Dieguito, Vista, San Marcos, and Fallbrook. This scenario scored the highest in terms of convenience, local control, traffic impacts, air quality, and roadways, and also received the highest score for technical risk, along with several of the other scenarios. The second highest scoring was scenario 7 which involved siting six transfer stations. In all cases the greater the number of transfer stations for a scenario, the more favorable overall score that scenario received. Scenarios 1 and 2, which involved siting one and two facilities, respectively scored the lowest. 2.5.4 Preferred Scenario Tables 2-7 and 2-8 present the final scenario ranking and a brief explanation of the evaluation results. Based on the selection process, Scenario 5, with seven transfer stations, is the preferred scenario for North San Diego County. This scenario is the decentralized approach, resulting in smaller transfer stations and shorter direct haul distances than the other scenarios. Section 4.0 describes more of the operating characteristics of this selected system.

The more transfer stations sited, the less driving would be required by the majority of the population and, therefore, the overall convenience would be greater. Scenario 5, which involves siting seven transfer stations, was the most convenient, followed by scenarios 7, 4, 3, 6, 2, and 1. Flexibility -- Rating the scenarios for flexibility was based on the sizes of the transfer station. The larger the facility, the more flexible it is considered to be in terms of accommodating future solid waste management systems. Therefore, those scenarios which involved siting larger facilities received the highest scores. Scenario 1 received the highest rating, followed by scenarios 2 and 3 (tie) 4, 6, 7, and 5. Direct Haul Pattern Disruption — Rating the scenarios with respect to direct haul pattern disruption was based on the absolute difference between miles driven to the San Marcos landfill and miles driven to the transfer station. Those scenarios which minimized disruption of the current direct haul patterns received the highest scores. Scenario 1 received the highest rating followed by scenarios 2, 3, 6, 4, 7, and 5. Land Use Compatibility — Rating scenarios for land use compatibility assumed that the fewer the number of facilities, the less public opposition, therefore those scenarios which had fewer facilities scored highest. Scenario 1 received the highest score, followed by scenarios 2, 6, 3, 4, 7, and 5. Level of Participation — Rating scenarios for level of participation gave the highest scores to those scenarios which were compatible with the preferred level of involvement expressed by the communities. Scenario 7 scored the highest, followed by scenarios 1, 2 and 6 (tie), 5, 3, and 4. Local Control — Rating for local control was based on whether or not a community had a facility sited in their city. In general, those scenarios which involved siting more facilities provided more local control and therefore received higher scores. Scenario 5 scored the highest, followed by scenarios 7, 3, 4, 6, 2, and 1. JOB:89001-2 12/12/89 2-33 Table 2-8 (cent.) EVALUATION RESULTS Traffic Impact —• Rating the scenarios for traffic impact was based on analysis of miles driven per vehicle type (e.g., collection/transfer vehicles). In general, the greater the number of transfer stations per scenario, the less overall traffic impact and, therefore, the higher the score. Scenario 5 scored the highest, followed by Scenarios 7, 4, 6, 3, 2, and 1. Air Quality — Rating the scenarios for air quality was also based on analysis of miles driven per vehicle type. Those scenarios which involved siting more facilities resulted in less miles driven overall and, therefore, less adverse impact on air quality. Scenario 5 scored the highest, followed by scenarios 7, 4, 6, 3, 2, and 1. Other Environmental Factors — Rating the scenarios for other environmental factors assumed that the further away a facility was from the collection areas it served, the less potential for adverse environmental impact to those areas. In general, the fewer the number of facilities per scenario, the greater the minimization of adverse environmental impact and therefore the higher the score. Scenario 1 received the highest rating, followed by scenarios 2, 6, 3, 4, 7, and 5. Roadways — Rating the scenarios for roadways considered overall miles driven. Those scenarios which minimized the number of miles driven received the highest scores. Scenario 5 scored highest, followed by scenarios 7, 4, 6, 3, 2, and 1. Technical Risk — Rating the scenarios for technical risk assumed that facilities under 4,000 TPD were technically proven, while facilities larger than this have yet to be adequately demonstrated. Those scenarios therefore which involved siting facilities under 4,000 TPD received higher scores. Scenarios 3, 4, 5 and 7 received the highest, score (tie) followed by scenarios 6, 2, and 1. Economics — Rating the scenarios for economics gave the least expensive scenario the highest score with the other scenarios rated inversely proportional to their added expense as compared to the least expensive option. Scenario 1 was the least expensive followed by scenarios 6, 4, 3, 2, 5 and 7. JOB:89001-2 12/12/89 2-34 SECTION 3.0 SITING OF TRANSFER STATIONS SECTION 3.0 SITING OF TRANSFER STATIONS 3.1 INTRODUCTION While an appropriate transfer station system was being selected (Section 2.0), a search for suitable sites was conducted. This section describes the process used to identify, for further evaluation, these potential transfer station sites in the North County area. The process has consisted of developing and applying a series of exclusionary and preferential criteria to the study area. These criteria include a combination of engineering, economic, and environmental considerations. The goal is to identify potential sites that are technically feasible, environmentally suitable, and acceptable to the local community. A major objective of the site selection process is to minimize adverse environmental effects associated with transfer stations in northern San Diego County. The siting was a four-step process (see Figure 3-1). Step 1 consisted of applying the first-level exclusionary criteria to the entire North County area, retaining general areas which would be considered in Step 2 (Table 3-1). Step 2 consisted of applying the second- level criteria (Table 3-2) to these general areas, narrowing down the general areas to identify 35 to 40 potentially suitable preliminary sites. In Step 3, aerial photography was reviewed and field visits conducted to refine the rough site boundaries identified in the previous stage. This resulted in the identification of 17 potential transfer station sites. In Step 4, these 17 sites were evaluated against a limited set of criteria (Table 3-3) to provide a final assessment of each site and a refinement of the site boundaries. The final outcome of the site evaluation is a set of 17 sites distributed among seven communities, as shown in Figures 3-2 through 3-8.

These exclusionary criteria, proposed by the consultant, were discussed and refined at a joint meeting with City and County staff. The final exclusionary criteria are shown in Table 3-1 and include engineering, economic, and environmental issues. Positive criteria, such as industrial general plan designations, and negative criteria, such as minimum distance from the nearest freeway or 4-lane major road, were mapped for the entire North County area. General areas were retained, corresponding closely to the industrial land use general plan designations for each city and for the County. Information was assembled from a number of different sources, including: city land-use maps, SanDAG maps, County maps, and census tract data. Because each land-use map uses slightly different land-use designations, it was necessary to make a decision as to which categories to include under each criteria. Following is a list of the four first-level exclusionary criteria and a description of the data sources and approaches used to map each criterion. 3.2.1 First-Level Exclusionary Criteria 1. Distance from Waste Centroid Criterion; The transfer station must be located within a convenient direct haul distance from the major collection areas. This distance will be measured from a defined "waste centroid" or center point of a waste shed. The transfer station shall be no more than three miles from the waste centroid. Sources: Series 7 census tract data provided by SanDAG. Mapping approach: Transfer station centroids were identified for each scenario through the method described in Section 2.0. Circles of three-mile radii were then drawn around each centroid to indicate areas that are an acceptable distance from the centroids. These circles are shown in Figures 2-2 through 2-8. JOB:89001-3 12/07/89 3-6 2. Zoning and General Plan Designations Criterion: A transfer station should be located in an area suitable for an industrial type facility with considerable daily vehicle usage. Facilities will be sited only in areas designated on General Plan maps for heavy or light industrial use, for agriculture, and for other uses deemed appropriate by the local jurisdiction. Sources: Industrial Lands and Agricultural Lands Map of Major Industrial Areas, SanDAG, May 1, 1988.

In some cases, the larger scale land-use maps for the individual cities were cross-referenced to clarify the boundaries of an industrial zone. The SanDAG map shows existing and future industrial areas. Agricultural lands; Land designated as intensively agricultural (in the case of San Marcos and Bonsall), as agricultural (Oceanside and Solana Beach) and as undeveloped rangeland (Escondido) was mapped as agricultural land on the constraint map. "Rural development areas," a term used on the County land-use map of unincorporated areas, was not considered an agricultural use. JOB:89001-3 12/07/89 3-7 3. Distance from Major Transportation Corridors Criterion: A transfer station needs to be close to reliable major transportation routes. A transfer station will be sited no more than one mile from an existing limited access freeway or from a major four-lane arterial. Sources: County of San Diego Public Owned Lands (Map), Department of Public Works, January 1982. Mapping approach: The County public lands map was used because freeways and "major arterials" were clearly designated. It was assumed that the major arterials on that map are four-lane. Areas further than one mile from any of these roadways were blocked out as unsuitable for a transfer station. 4. Public-Use Lands Criterion: Federal, state, and locally owned lands used for recreation, watershed, and military purposes are excluded from consideration as potential transfer station sites. Sources: County of San Diego Public Owned Lands (Map), Department of Public Works, January 1982. Mapping approach: Areas mapped as public lands included: State parks, County parks, Indian reservations, military reservations, Bureau of Land Management (BLM), Public domain lands, the Cleveland National Forest, and water districts. 3.2.2 General Areas Identified Areas that meet the second, third, and fourth criteria are shown on the composite map. JOB:89001-3 12/07/89 3-8 3.3 POTENTIALLY SUITABLE SITES The search for potentially suitable sites within the general areas identified in Step 1 was then further focused in two ways. First, the second level exclusionary criteria were applied to these retained areas, in order to identify potentially suitable sites. Secondly, some cities also had particular sites that they requested the County evaluate further. These were reviewed for the first level criteria, and were included in Step 2 for the mapping of the second level criteria (faulting, steep slopes, riparian habitat, critical habitat, and access through residential areas). The second level exclusionary criteria were mapped, narrowing down the general areas further to 35 to 40 preliminary sites. In August, these preliminary sites were reviewed in Step 3, using recent aerial photographs, field visits, and maps. The field visits were conducted by a team consisting of an environmental analyst, a project engineer, and a county staff member. A series of preferential criteria were applied to screen the preliminary sites and select a final group of potential transfer station sites for further evaluation in Step 4. These preferential criteria include site size, shape and topography, existing land use (built-up versus vacant), compatibility with adjacent land uses, proximity to residential areas, and environmental concerns such as presence of riparian vegetation and evidence of flooding. At the end of Stage 3, 17 sites were retained for further evaluation in the next stage. In most of the seven potential service areas identified in the transfer station scenarios, sites could be identified using these criteria. In two cases, no potential sites were identified that would meet all of these criteria. A summary of the retained sites for each city is presented below. Maps of the sites are included as Figure 3-2 through 3-8. A complete list of sites reviewed and field notes is included in Appendix F. Fallbrook. In Fallbrook, no sites meet the access criteria of being within one mile of a freeway or 4-lane major arterial, and all industrial areas are built up, so that no area of sufficient size could be identified. As an alternative, an industrial area in the unincorporated portion of the County near 1-15, which is just outside the distance criteria established in Step 1, was retained (Sites F-l and F-2). (Figure 3-2.) JOB:89001-3 12/07/89 3-9 Escondido. In Escondido, all industrial areas are also built up. Two alternative sites were identified; one thai the City had asked the County to evaluate, and another nearby that is vacant except for railroad spurs, but for which access is marginal (Sites ES-1 and ES-2). (Figure 3-3.) San Marcos. A site meeting the criteria was identified between San Marcos Boulevard and Grand Avenue. Two other sites in proximity to the existing landfill and to the proposed waste-to-energy plant were retained for evaluation at the city's request (Sites SMI, SM2 and SMS). (Figure 3-4.) Vista. Two sites were identified in Vista; one in the vicinity of an existing gravel mining operation, the other in a nearby developing light industrial park (Sites VI and V2). (Figure 3-5.) Carlsbad. Five sites were retained in Carlsbad along or near Palomar Airport Road. Two of these are located immediately east of 1-5 along this road, one of which is currently in agricultural production. The three remaining sites include the present recycling center, Bressi Ranch, and a parcel south of the Carlsbad Raceway. This last parcel is close to the Vista sites (Sites Cl, C2, C3, C4, and C5). (Figures 3-6A and 3-6B.) Oceanside. Two sites were identified in Oceanside. The northernmost site is located east of the airport in an agricultural field. The second is located on an undeveloped site off Oceanside Boulevard near a gravel mine. (Sites O-l and O-2). (Figure 3-7.) Beach Communities. Only one potential site was retained in the beach communities — an undeveloped site at the corner of El Camino Real and Olivenhain. (Site E-l). (Figure 3- 8.) 3.4 EVALUATION OF POTENTIALLY SUITABLE SITES The final step in the site selection and evaluation process was to assess the retained potential sites according to a limited set of issues. Three factors were applied to further refine site location or screen out any sites with unacceptable conditions. The factors were: biological resources, cultural resources, and traffic impacts. The remainder of JOB:89001-3 12/07/89 3-10 this section discusses these findings on biological and cultural resources for all 17 sites. Section 4.3 contains a-more detailed discussion of the traffic impacts. 3.4.1 Cultural Resources Cultural resource records were checked at both the San Diego Museum of Man and the South Coastal Information Center (San Diego State University) to determine if there are recorded cultural resources on any of the 17 transfer station sites that would make mitigation for a transfer station impossible or impractical. It is not intended that these record checks take the place of an EIR-level cultural resource field survey and report. The results of the checks follow. Fallbrook F-l There is no record of any historic or archaeological resources on this site. F-l There is no record of any historic or archaeological resources on this site. Escondido ES-1 There is no record of any historic or archaeological resources on this site. ES-2 There is no record of any historic or archaeological resources on this site. San Marcos SM-1 The redrawn configuration of SM-1 has no record of any historic or archaeological resources on it. SM-2 There is no record of any historic or archaeological resources on this site. SM-3 There is no record of any historic or archaeological resources on this site. JOB:89001-3 12/07/89 3-11 Vista 41 V-l There is no record of any historic or archaeological resources on this site.

C-3 Portions of this site have archaeological resources that appear from the record checks to be mitigatable. C-4 There is no record of any historic or archaeological resources on this site. C-5 Portions of this site have archaeological resources that appear from the record checks to be mitigatable. Oceanside O-l There is no record of any historic or archaeological resources on this site. O-2 There is no record of any historic or archaeological resources on this site. Encinitas E-l Portions of this site have archaeological resources that appear from the records checks to be mitigatable. JOB:89001-3 12/07/89 3-12 3.4.2 Biological Resource On November 29, 1989, Tim Cass, Biologist with the Department of Public Works' Environmental Services Unit, conducted a brief field check of the 17 North County transfer station sites. This biological survey was undertaken to determine if there are potential biological impacts on any of these sites that would make mitigation of the impacts of a project impossible or impractical. This survey is not intended to take the place of an EIR-level, spring biology survey. That will be necessary for all sites presently undeveloped or adjacent to sensitive habitats. Several of the site boundaries in the earlier site identification have been modified as a result of this survey to eliminate potentially significant biological impacts. Fallbrook F-l This site is currently farmland, but is bordered on the west by southern riparian woodland, which, in this area, makes it a potential Least Bells Vireo habitat. If a transfer station were to be built on this site, the riparian habitat would not be disturbed, but special design considerations may have to be taken to minimize the noise impacts to this adjacent habitat. F-2 This site is primarily covered by disturbed Coastal Sage Scrub and does not appear to have any sensitive biological resources. Escondido ES-1 This site is disturbed ruderal (weeds) except for a small drainage swale running east to west on the northern portion of the site. The California Department of Fish and Game may have some concerns about this drainage and its associated wetland habitat. If this small wetland area were to be developed, mitigation would be possible and practical. JOB:89001-3 12/07/89 3-13 ES-2 This area is completely developed and, as a result, there are not sensitive biological resources. San Marcos SM-1 This land is disturbed coastal sage scrub, perennial native grassland with intermittent streams and associated wetlands and eucalyptus trees. The coastal sage scrub portion might be habitat for the Black-tailed Gnatcatcher, but this is typically mitigatable. SM-2 This site is disturbed coastal sage scrub, perennial native grassland with intermittent streams. The coastal sage scrub portion could be habitat for the Black-tailed Gnatcatcher, but this is typically mitigatable. SM-3 This site is disturbed with small patches of native perennial grassland with an intermittent stream running from north to south. There appears to be enough land within this site, with no potential sensitive biological resources, to support a transfer station operation. Vista V-l This is currently part of an existing borrow pit operation and is extremely disturbed. There is an intermittent stream running through the property with willow trees and a very minor riparian woodland habitat. There is enough land within this site with no sensitive biological resources to support a transfer station operation. V-2 This site is disturbed ruderal (weeds) with the exception of the disturbed coastal sage scrub and riparian habitat in the canyon bottoms. There is enough land within this site with no potential sensitive biological resources to support a transfer station operation. JOB:89001-3 12/07/89 3-14 Carlsbad C-l South of Palomar Airport Road, this site has been disturbed in the recent past for agriculture purposes and does not appear to have any sensitive biological resources. C-2 This site is currently being used for agriculture purposes and does not appear to have any sensitive biological resources. C-3 With the exception of the existing development, all of this land is fallow agriculture fields and does not appear to have any sensitive biological resources. C-4 This site is currently being used for agriculture purposes on the upper, flatter portions, with disturbed coastal sage scrub found in some of the canyon bottoms. There is enough land within this site with no potential sensitive biological resources to support a transfer station operation. C-5 This site is annual grasslands with small inclusions of chaparral and does not appear to have any sensitive biological resources. Oceanside O-l This site has been used in the recent past for agriculture purposes. There are not sensitive biological resources on this site. However, immediately north of the site is potential Least Bells Vireo habitat. If a transfer station were to be built on this site, the riparian habitat would not be disturbed, but special design considerations may have to be taken to minimize the noise impacts to this adjacent habitat. O-2 North of Oceanside Boulevard, this site is primarily previously disturbed annual grassland/ruderal. There is a wetland area that should be avoided in the southern portion of the site and has been deleted as a portion of the potential site. Excluding the wetland areas, there is very little potential for significant biological resources on this site. JOB:89001-3 12/07/89 3-15 E-l The western portion of this site is ruderal and does not have much potential for significant biological resources. The eastern portion of the site contains riparian woodland and fresh water marsh, both of which should be avoided. 3.4.3 Results of Evaluation Figures 3-2 through 3-8 show the final locations of the potentially suitable sites. These sites have not been evaluated against each other, but rather are presented as sites that are acceptable for more detailed site-specific investigation, including looking at geotechnical; concerns, geohydrology, visual impact, and land use.

Section 3.0, in parallel to this selection of the most acceptable transfer station system, used siting criteria to find potentially suitable locations for the actual facilities. A set of 17 sites was identified. This section will merge information from these two concurrent efforts to look at probable and typical levels of waste management activities associated with each specific site. Typical operating characteristics are summarized (Section 4.2). Traffic, as a particular local concern, is treated in more detail (Section 4.3). Types of recycling activities that may occur at these transfer stations, and their relationship to local recycling programs, are identified (Section 4.4). Since toxics in the solid waste stream are of increasing concern, programs to remove toxics at the transfer station and to collect household hazardous waste are described (Section 4.5). Finally, the types of permits needed to construct and operate a typical transfer station are briefly summarized (Section 4.6). 4.2 OPERATIONAL CHARACTERISTICS 4.2.1 Overview Based on the findings of this study, the preferred transfer station scenario for the North County Study Area (Scenario 5) involves siting seven transfer stations serving the following areas: Collection Areas Serviced Size (TPDg) for Year 2010 Escondido 1,830 Oceanside 1,375 Carlsbad 1,071 San Dieguito 875 Vista 814 San Marcos 718 Fallbrook 465 JOB:89001-4 12/12/89 4 - 1 The transfer stations will be designed to accomplish several major functions. The primary function is the transfer of waste from commercial collection and commercial and public self-haul vehicles to larger transfer trailers for transport to the landfill. As part of the transfer station operations, an aggressive materials recovery operation is also expected to be undertaken at each site to meet County recycling objectives. Targeted materials could include cardboard, mixed paper, newsprint, wood, and ferrous and nonferrous metals. These materials would be diverted from the disposal operations and recycled. Processing (baling) capability for cardboard and other fiber products, as well as nonferrous metals, is expected to be available on-site. The transfer station could also serve as the consolidation point for materials collected through local curbside recycling programs. Design of the facility is expected to allow for flexibility and modification of operations, as necessary, to accommodate such activities. Section 4.4 contains more discussion of possible transfer station recycling activities. 4.2.2 Operations Although the transfer station network incorporates a wide range of facility sizes, they will all have similar operational characteristics. As envisioned, the transfer stations will be designed to accommodate the following activities: Initial receipt of waste from collection vehicles Recovery/processing of 10 percent or more of the waste stream • Short-term storage of recovered materials Loading of transfer vehicles. All vehicles using the transfer station(s) will check in at a scale house, where they will be inspected, weighed, and directed to an appropriate area of the facility for unloading. The basic design of the facilities will incorporate a flat tipping floor, onto which the collection vehicles will discharge their loads. Unloading operations will be designed to clearly separate self-haul traffic from commercial collection vehicles for safety. Management of vehicle traffic within the building will be the responsibility of traffic controller(s) positioned on the tipping floor. Following unloading of material onto the tipping floor, two-wheel loaders will begin the transfer/recovery operations. Those loads which contain target recoverable materials will be transferred from the dump pile to a working pile, where recovery of materials will take place. Nonrecoverable material from the dump pile, and that remainir after recovery of material from the working pile, will be directed to the transfer operat on. It JOB:89001-4 12/12/89 4-2 is expect that the facilities will use industrial compaction units located below the tipping floor to densify the waste prior to transfer. Waste will be fed into the compaction units through loading slots on the tipping floor. The waste will then be compacted and extruded into the back of the transfer trailers. The transfer stations are expected to operate seven days a week. A corporation yard, household hazardous waste facility and truck wash are also expected to be located on- site. It is expected that all the facilities will initially operate one full shift Monday through Saturday, with a reduced shift on Sunday. Availability of personnel may be staggered to accommodate early morning collection vehicles. As an example, receiving of commercial collection vehicles may begin at 5 a.m. and continue to 5 p.m., with the general public provided access from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. It is expected that accommodations would also be made to handle any commercial collection vehicles needing to gain access to the facility outside of normal operating hours (e.g., nighttime commercial collection vehicles). Transfer operating hours would be scheduled to correspond to the landfill operating hours and to take advantage of favorable traffic conditions when possible. As waste generation increases and the facilities begin to handle more waste, additional personnel would be added accordingly. Some of the larger facilities may switch to a two- shift operation toward the end of their operating span. 4.2.2.1 Material Recovery Operations Wheel loaders operating on the floor will transfer material from the dump pile to a working pile near the middle of the transfer station floor. It is from this working pile that recovery of target materials will occur. The wheel loader operators will transfer only those loads which contain target materials to the working pile; nonrecoverable loads will be directed from the dump pile to the transfer trailer load out. How successful the recovery of recyclable materials is will depend to a large degree upon identification of loads containing targeted material prior to dumping. To the extent possible, these loads should be directed to areas of the tipping floor which will minimize mingling with nonrecoverable loads. At the same time, loads which do not contain target materials should be tipped in areas where they can be transferred to the compactors. JOB:89001-4 12/12/89 4-3 These loads will be identified and directed using a number of means. First, initial assessment of load quatity by the scale house operation will enable initial identification of target loads. Second, a traffic controller on the tipping floor will also be responsible for identifying and directing targeted loads. An electronic communication system between the scale house operator, traffic controller, and the wheel loader operators could increase the efficiency of recovery operations. This system will enable close monitoring and rapid recovery of target loads. Finally, commercial loads from collection routes which consistently have high levels of recoverable materials (select commercial loads) should be identified and repeatedly targeted for recovery. The transfer station should be designed to give these select commercial loads direct access to the working pile. Recovery of materials from the working pile would be expected to occur by an LD 50 prime mover, and a crew of hand sorters. As items and materials are recovered from the working pile, they will be processed and/or stored in bins or trailers located at the facility. When a sufficient quantity of material has been recovered, it will be transported to market. 4.2.2.2 Curbside Material Handling In addition to the transfer operations and possible material recovery operations, the facility could also serve as the consolidation point for material collected by the Curbside Recycling Programs. In this case, curbside vehicles will check-in at the scale house and proceed directly to staging area, where they would unload their material into appropriate storage bins. The cities may wish to allow for some curbside materials processing on- site. This may include baling cans and paper and crushing glass. 4.2.2.3 Processing Processing cardboard and paper would involve baling the material. The material would be fed into the baler by a belt conveyor. Corrugated cardboard and paper would be fed onto the infeed conveyor by a Caterpillar LD50 Prime Mover, which will operate in the materials recovery/processing areas. Bales will be discharged from the baler charge hopper onto a baler discharge conveyor, and then removed by forklif t. Processing recovered metals will consist largely of segregating various metals and grades of each metal. Metals will be stored in bins prior to sale. Metal could also be baled, JOB:89001-4 12/12/89 4-4 depending upon manpower and market conditions. The wheel loaders will assist in the metals recovery and the various other recovery operations. Recovered wood is expected to be processed by breaking up bulky items to provide for efficient storage of the material. This will be done by the sorting crew, with the aid of the wheel loaders if necessary. Further processing of the wood could possibly occur on- site, or at a separate location. Curbside recyclables would be processed by consolidating materials in appropriate bins. Certain items, for which additional processing capabilities e^ist, such as paper products, could be processed with similar materials recovered from the transfer station. At some point, the cities may wish to provide additional processing on-site for curbside materials; however, this will be dictated by space, manpower, and economic considerations. 4.3 TRAFFIC ANALYSIS 4.3.1 Introduction By its very nature, a solid waste transfer station generates considerable daily vehicle traffic, including collection trucks and private vehicles with incoming loads, and transfer vehicles on their way to the landfill. The seven stations in the preferred scenario are estimated to produce about 60 to 265 vehicle round trips per day in their early years of operations and 300 to 1,200 vehicle round trips per day at full capacity in the year 2010. Under the current waste management system, residential and commercial collection vehicles and private haulers. already have established hauling routes from North County communities to the San Marcos Landfill. With the proposed system of seven transfer stations, the collection vehicle traffic will be dispersed among the localized destinations rather than all going to the San Marcos disposal site. However, transfer trucks will be added to local roadways as they service the individual transfer facilities. Vehicles associated with collecting recyclables and carrying recyclables to markets may also be added to the traffic load, depending on the materials recovery at the transfer stations. Detailed traffic impact assessment would be needed in an EIR prepared for the transfer station. This section takes a first look at an order-of-magnitude traffic impact resulting from these proposed facilities. This analysis, based on available traffic data from local traffic engineering departments, summarizes how each facility may affect local roadways and freeway access. A separate EIR, under preparation for the landfill siting JOB:89001-4 12/12/89 4-5 project in North San Diego County, considers the effect of the transfer vehicles on major roadways, beginning on Highway 15, traveling north and east to the three proposed landfill sites. 4.3.2 Method In this section the probable increase in traffic associated with a transfer station at each of the potential sites is addressed. The analysis assesses those street segments along which the entrance to the. facilities would likely be established and the major access routes for collection vehicles and for transfer vehicles. In conducting this study, vehicle count data from SanDAG, Caltrans, and the individual cities was used to establish the most current average daily vehicle counts. Other sources of information were the city plans, EIRs (where available), and discussions with local city traffic engineers. This research yielded qualitative information regarding overall traffic impact, future problems, and alternate solutions, as well as projected traffic volumes and levels-of- service (see Appendix' A for list of traffic engineers). Estimated vehicle counts associated with the transfer stations include commercial collection vehicles, commercial and public self-haul vehicles, transfer trailers, and vehicles hauling recyclables to market, and take into account vehicle round-trips. Tables 4-1, 4-2, and 4-3 provide the average vehicles per day and the associated transfer station vehicles for each of the 17 sites based on waste generation projections for the years 1992, 2000, and 2010. Figures 4-1 through 4-13 show the assumed routes for collection and transfer vehicles. For collection vehicles, only those close to roadways were identified, since actual collection vehicles travel routes are speculative at this time. Where available, the study determined several factors pertaining to traffic impacts and constraints: 1. The current and future traffic volumes on the streets which will service the transfer station; 2. The current and future level-of-service (degree of congestion based on roadway capacity, see Appendix A) for each such street; and 3. Any other factors, such as construction and development, which could impact traffic patterns. JOB:89001-4 12/12/89 4-6 Using this information, and estimated vehicular traffic to be generated by the transfer station, a qualitative assessment of each site was made. Discussion of the degree of congestion on roadways is typically expressed using a level- of-service designation. These designations are applied to the current traffic situations where available. Table 4-4 shows the meaning attached to these designations. 4.3.3 Site-by-Site Findings Each of the 17 sites is discussed in turn; Table 4-5 summarizes these findings. Fallbrook The Fallbrook sites are located on the east side of Highway 15, one adjacent to 15 at Tecalote Lane (F-2) and the other on the north side of Pala Road (Highway 76) at Shearer Road (F-l). Highway 15 has sufficient capacity to handle the added volume of traffic associated with the transfer station. It is currently at level-of-service "A" and is projected to reach level-of-service "C" or "D". There is a 4 percent grade south of the 76/15 interchange. The transfer station would add an estimated 60 vehicles per day in the first year of operation (1992), with an increase of 165 vehicles per day by the year 2010. The more significant impact would be on Pala Road. Pala Road is currently a two-lane highway, which does not allow passing. Heavy development is planned along the highway corridor, which will increase traffic volumes significantly. There is also, however, the possibility that Pala Road will be expanded to four lanes in the near future to accommodate this growth. These plans are not yet final. Oceanside The two proposed transfer station sites in Oceanside are located, respectively, on Mission Avenue at Foussat Street (O-l) and on Oceanside Boulevard at Rancho del Oro (O-2). A transfer station at one of these sites would generate an estimated 210 (year 1992) to 480 (year 2010) vehicles per day. The current traffic volume on Mission is 40,000 vehicles per day and that on Oceanside is 25,000 vehicles per day. Both are classified as major arterials, Mission being over capacity and Oceanside being under capacity.
