Direct staff to prepare findings and a mitigation monitoring plan for the EIR pursuant to State California Environmental Quality Act and Public Resource Code requirements and return them to the Board for approval. 9 . Schedule July 13 , 1993 for decision on above matters. FISCAL IMPACT The contract between the County and the West Contra Costa Integrated Waste Management Authority (WCCIWMA) provides that direct charges to the project applicant for County planning, public works, building inspection, and general health services activities will be handled as a pass-through business expense and accounted for in the IRRF rates. Included in these pass-through costs are the project coordinator and mitigation program costs. Additionally, the County WCCIWMA contract provides for payment or reimbursement for County costs related to resource recovery activities, Recycling Market Development Zone administration, other general solid waste administrative matters, and any future matters agreed upon between the County and the WCCIWMA; this funding arrangement is in lieu of a resource recovery fee. BACKGROUND WEST COUNTY INTEGRATED RESOURCE RECOVERY FACILITY The West County Integrated Resource Recovery Facility (IRRF) is a proposed development to be located on two non-contiguous sites in West Contra Costa County. One General Plan Amendment would cover both sites in the unincorporated area. Separate land use permits would, however, be required to develop the sites. The two proposed sites are described below. - Page 3 - Board Order West County IRRF June 22 , 1993 Central Processing Facility West County Resource Recovery, Inc. (APPLICANT) , Nove Investments (OWNER) : The applicant requests approval to establish a solid waste materials recovery facility/transfer station on a site located in the unincorporated area of North Richmond. The IRRF Central Processing Facility (CPF) would be located on approximately 22 acres between Central Street and Third Street and between Brookside Drive and Wildcat Creek. The site includes Assessor's Parcel Numbers 408-203-003 , 408-203-007, 408-203-008, 409-300-024, 409-300-025, 409-300-029, and 409-300-030. The CPF would receive and process residential and commercial solid waste, curbside- collected and buy-back recyclables, and household hazardous waste. The waste would be sorted into several different categories before the remaining non-processible waste is transferred to a landfill. The applicant requests that the County General Plan be amended to allow for the consideration of a solid waste materials recovery facility/transfer station on the subject site (GPA 6-90-CO) . The proposed amendment would amend the Land Use and Public Facilities/Services Elements to designate the site as a location where such a facility may be considered. The applicant requests approval of a land use permit for the development of a solid waste materials recovery facility/transfer station project (LUP 2053-92) . At their April 20, 1993 meeting, the County Planning Commission received testimony and recommended that the Board of Supervisors approve the General Plan Amendment for the project. The public hearing was held over to May 18, 1993 , where the County Planning Commission received further testimony and recommended that the County Board of Supervisors certify the Environmental Impact Report and approve the revised Land Use Permit Conditions of Approval, dated May 18 , 1993 , as recommended by staff and amended by the Commission. The General Plan Amendment and the Land Use Permit Conditions of Approval are entitlements which rely on the project's Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) . Bulk Material Processing Center West County Resource Recovery, Inc. (APPLICANT) , West County Landfill, Inc. (OWNER) : The applicant requests approval to establish a materials recovery facility on the existing West Contra Costa Sanitary Landfill site (WCCSL) . The WCCSL Processing Facility, Bulk Material Processing Center (BMPC) would be located on the landfill site at the west end of Parr Boulevard adjoining San Pablo Bay. The landfill site is partially in the City of Richmond and partially in the unincorporated area. Material recovery operations would be performed on an approximately 60-acre portion of this site. Only about 10 acres, however, are located in the unincorporated area. The unincorporated area of the BMPC site includes portions of Assessor's Parcel Numbers 408-140-010 and 408- 140-013 . This area would be used for the processing functions of asphalt recycling, concrete crushing and, possibly, a part of the wood shredding operations. The remaining 50 acres, located in the City of Richmond and subject to city approval, would serve as the composting, soil reclamation and wood shredding area. A barge transportation program is included as part of the BMPC proposal, whereby the hauling of specified wastes to and finished products/recyclables from the site via the San Francisco/San Pablo Bay water transportation network would be allowed. Page 4 - Board Order West County IRRF June 22 , 1993 The applicant requests that the County General Plan be amended to allow for the consideration of a solid waste materials recovery facility on the subject site (GPA 6-90-CO) . The proposed amendment would amend the Land Use and Public Facilities/ Services Elements to designate the site as a location where such a facility may be considered. It would also amend the Conservation Element to clarify that a barge mooring facility may be considered in wetland areas. The applicant requests approval of a land use permit for the development of a solid waste materials recovery facility project (LUP 2054-92) . At their April 20, 1993 meeting, the County Planning Commission heard testimony and recommended that the County Board of Supervisors approve the General Plan Amendment for the project. The public hearing was held over to May 18, 1993 where the County Planning Commission received further testimony and recommended that the County Board of Supervisors approve the project's Land Use Permit Conditions of Approval as recommended by staff and amended by the Commission. The General Plan Amendment and Land Use Permit Conditions of Approval are entitlements which rely on the project's Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) . VC:rw R V OW IRRF.bod ADDENDUM TO ITEM H. 12 JUNE 22, 1993 This is the time heretofore noticed by the Clerk of the Board of Supervisors for hearing on the recommendation of the Contra Costa County Planning Commission on the West County Integrated Resource Recovery Facility, a proposed development consisting of two facilities : the Central Processing Facility and the Bulk Materials Processing Center to be located on two non-contiguous sites in West Contra Costa County; and one General Plan Amendment (GPA 6-90-CO) would cover both facilities in the unincorporated area but separate land use permits (LUP 2053-92 and LUP 2054-92) are required for each facility. Charles Zahn, Community Development Department, introduced the project and discussed permitting issues before the Board in connection with this project, and he requested that the Board declare its intent to adopt the General Plan amendment, declare its intent to approve the two land use permits with conditions and whatever modifications the Board makes today. Mr. Zahn advised that the staff would have to prepare findings and the implementation mitigation program and he requested that final action be considered on July 13 , 1993 . John Williams, 3260 Blume Drive, Richmond, representing West county Resource Recovery, Inc . , presented the project to the Board. Mitch Avalon, Public Works Department, commented on the drainage conditions . Edward Shaffer, Norris and Norris, 3260 Blume Drive, Richmond, representing Nove Investments, spoke in support of the recommendations of the Planning Commission and the revisions by staff to the conditions before the Board, and he presented requested changes to the conditions of approval . Bill Davis, One Alvarado Square, San Pablo, representing the West Contra Costa J. P.A. , spoke in support of the permits with the modification that was made by staff on the section on the flood and the drainage area. J.A. Vincent, 2500 Lowell Avenue, Richmond, representing the Greenbelt Alliance, commented on the trail around the periphery of the landfill . The public hearing was closed. Supervisor Powers requested clarification on the Pittsburg Avenue issue as to the nexus of the construction or dedication of Pittsburg Avenue east of the facility to the environmental document, the general plan amendment and the land use permits . Mr. Avalon responded on the circulation element of the County General Plan adopted in 1991, and clarified that this was a frontage improvement . Victor Westman, County Counsel, commented on the necessity for a relationship to the specific property, which can be broadly construed, but some effect that the property itself by the operation of the proposed entitlement will have some justification or necessity for this improvement . Mr. Zahn commented on the interest of the Redevelopment Agency in seeing that Pittsburg Avenue is extended eastward to pick up an area right for redevelopment and that this would make a contribution toward that . Supervisor Powers discussed various issues and suggested various actions including requiring dedication through a deferred improvement agreement that the curbs and gutters be installed at the time that the road is built, that the abandoned vehicle condition be eliminated, that the diesel idle is an appropriate amendment, that the drainage changes that are recommended and agreed to by the applicant should be put in, and that the applicant should be required to do the mitigation monitoring of the project . Supervisor Powers also commented on the diversion requirement remaining as it is and discussed further issues including composting, mitigation monitoring, concerns of San Pablo and Orinda with the haul route, the scope of the service area, and the odor review. Supervisor Powers moved to certify the Environmental Impact documentation and declare the Board' s intent to adopt the General Plan, the two land use permits and have them brought back on July 13 , 1993 with the changes that have been suggested or agreed to by the Board. Supervisor Bishop expressed concerns on issues including the diesel engine condition, the diversion requirement, the improvements to Pittsburg Avenue and Redevelopment participation and she advised that she would be abstaining from voting on this matter and that perhaps by July 13 , 1993 she would be prepared to vote on the matter. Supervisor Powers advised that the matter could be modified on the 13th and that this was to declare the Board' s intent on the proposal . IT IS BY THE BOARD ORDERED that recommendations 1, 2 , 3 , 5, ' 6 and 7 with conditions as amended by the Board of Supervisors, 8 and 9 are APPROVED.

VC:rw RVGWCDW.bod CONTRA COSTA COUNTY COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT DATE: June 16, 1993 TO: Tom Torlakson, Chair Board of Supervisors FROM: Harvey E. Bragdon, Director of Community Development BY: Charles A. Zahn, Assistant Director CA–z— SUBJECT: SUPPLEMENTAL STAFF REPORT (THIRD SUPPLEMENT) , WEST COUNTY INTEGRATED RESOURCE RECOVERY FACILITY GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT (GPA 6-90-CO) AND LAND USE PERMITS FOR THE CENTRAL PROCESSING FACILITY (LUP 2053-92) AND BULK MATERIAL PROCESSING CENTER (LUP 2054-92) PURPOSE This staff report is intended to supplement the staff report of April 20, 1993, as well as supplements to it dated May 13 and May 18, 1993 . The original staff report provided a summary project description, a summary of the project's environmental impacts, and other information staff relied on for recommending conditional approval of the project. The May 13 and May 18, 1993 supplements responded to changes proposed to the draft Land Use Permits ' Conditions or Approval by the project applicants and other parties during the County Planning Commission' s public hearing process . They were produced for the information of the Commission. Copies were provided to the Commission prior to its April 20, 19933, hearing, and were included in the packet of documents sent to The Board of Supervisors on June 10, 1993 . This supplemental staff report primarily addresses changes to the two Land Use Permit Conditions of Approval which resulted from The Board of Supervisors ' approval on May 25, 1993, of a contract for cooperating with the West Contra Costa Integrated Waste Management Authority on the regulation of the facility. Additionally, this supplemental staff report discusses policy issues associated with the project which warrant Board of Supervisors ' consideration. 1 GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT 6-90-CO INTEGRATED RESOURCE RECOVERY FACILITY BOTH SITES There are no remaining issues on the General Plan Amendment to staff 's knowledge. It is noted, as discussed in the April 18, 1993, staff report that the provisions for the unincorporated are of the West Contra Costa Sanitary Landfill site (the Bulk Material Processing Center) coincide with those for the location in the Richmond shoreline General Plan Amendment which the Board also will be considering on June 22, 1993. LAND USE PERMIT 2053-92 CENTRAL PROCESSING FACILITY ISSUES CONFORMANCE OF LAND USE PERMIT CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL WITH WEST CONTRA COSTA INTEGRATED WASTE MANAGEMENT AUTHORITY CONTRACT. Reference: Conditions 2 .2, 2 .3, 4.2, 6 .2, 6 .7, 6 .8, 6 . 18, 6 . 19, 6 .20, Section 7, 10. 1, 10.2, Section 19, Section 25 . The Land Use Permit Conditions of Approval which were processed through the County Planning Commission were written in the context of conventional County control over permit implementation because the Board of Supervisors had not approved an alternative arrangement with West County. On the same day the County Planning Commission made its recommendations on LUP 2053-92 and LUP 2054-92, May 18, 1993, the Board declared its intention to approve a contract with the West Contra Costa Integrated Waste Management Authority (WCCIWMA) for the regulation of the Integrated Resource Recovery Facility ( IRRF) . The Board approved the contract on May 25, 1993. The main subjects affected by the contract are aspects of delegation of authority, franchising, fee setting, and resource recovery objectives, which are precluded from being improved by the County' s Land Use Permits, and waste/material reporting; which is more detailed for contract purposes . Subsequent to the Board's approval of the contract with the WCCIWMA, staff added contract conformance provisions to the two permits ' Conditions of Approval . These changes are identified by notations in the margins of the Conditions of Approval . Instead of deleting Conditions which would normally impose major program requirements through the Land Use Permits, but which are inconsistent with the contract, staff has added provisions which suspend the implementation of the inconsistent provisions while the contract (or an equivalent successor agreement) is in force. Staff recommends this approach because the original Conditions would be retrievable in case the contractual agreement was discontinued in the future, or in case the parties to the contract wanted to use them at a later time. 2 INTERIM ACCESS ROUTE IMPROVEMENTS Original Conditions 22.23, 22.25, and 22.27 (also see Condition 22.8) The Richmond Parkway is designated as the access route between the IRRF Central Processing Facility (via West Pittsburg Avenue) and I-80 for transfer vans and large commercial vehicles. Part of the Parkway is open to traffic, and all of it is expected to be ready when the Central Processing Facility opens and the West Contra Costa Landfill closes. If, however, the Parkway is not open to I-80, an interim connection consisting of local truck routes will have to be utilized for a time. The issue is what should be expected from the IRRF if interim routing must be used. The Conditions of Approval do not call for any mitigation if the route is to be used for six months or less. Long-term improvements were regarded as general transportation improvements appropriately funded by Area-of-Benefit or similar programs. Staff specified a study program for longer interim use in the original Condition 22.22, but the County Planning Commission eliminated it in favor of a simple route plan requirement. In contrast, the City of San Pablo has asked that substantial improvements be committed and made in advance of the use of the route. The components of a solution are a just-in-time analysis of the condition of route's roadway, and extent and duration of use, because no one knows whether, when, or how long an interim route will be needed, and a determination of minimum necessary improvements should be based on the analysis. Having the applicant submit a study and proposal six months prior to the use of the transfer station for export may be an appropriate approach. Proposed language is included in the Conditions of Approval. After receiving testimony, if the Board accepts staff's recommendations in concept, it may then wish to refer the matter to the Community Development and Public Works Departments for finalization of Condition language. PITTSBURG AVENUE EXTENSION Original Conditions 22.14 and 22.16 (both deleted by County Planning Commission) The general need for the Pittsburg Avenue Extension and its installation largely through Area of Benefit and Redevelopment Agency funds was the subject of a Board of Supervisors' determination item on June 15, 1993. There is no dispute that the applicant is to be required to improve West Pittsburg Avenue between the Central Processing Facility site and the Richmond Parkway. The issue is whether the IRRF Central Processing Facility through the site should be required to only reserve 'a right-of-way (r.o.w.) for future public acquisition and development, or be required to dedicate the r.o.w. , or the r.o.w. and later install the frontage improvements, or provide the r.o.w. , the frontage improvements, and the basic pavement. The Pittsburg Avenue Extension was not included in the project submitted by the applicant, nor was it evaluated in the IRRF Environmental Impact Report (EIR). However, it was part of the road network adopted in the new County General Plan 3 which was the subject of its own EIR. It is also regarded as important to the redevelopment of the area to the East of the Central Processing Facility. Generally, County policy is to fully implement the General Plan in the course of approving projects. The County Planning Commission regarded the dedication of the r.o.w. and the provision of frontage improvements for the Pittsburg Avenue Extension through the Central Processing Facility as an undue burden on the applicant. If the Board concurs with the County Planning Commission, the"PC" revisions in the LUP 2053-92 Conditions of Approval would remain unchanged. If the Board determines that r.o.w. dedication, frontage improvements, and roadway improvements should be provided, the original Condition provisions should be restored. Middle ground determinations would be to require dedication of the r.o.w. , or dedication of the r.o.w. and the provision of frontage improvements in the future, and to have the road construction be funded by Redevelopment and Area-of-Benefit moneys. DRAINAGE, EROSION AND SEDIMENT CONTROL Original Condition 24.3, Drainage Area 19A Improvements Improvements to surface water drainage are required of all projects, pursuant to County Ordinance Code Division 914. The Planning Commission added language that calls for the reduction of fees to be paid by the applicant for these required improvements, with CCDD approval. Staff recommends that the applicant comply with standard County Ordinance Code requirements and recommends removal of Planning Commission language. ABANDONED VEHICLES MANAGEMENT PROGRAM Original Section 35 The concept that new solid waste facilities should provide for the interim storage of abandoned vehicles--between the time they were taken into public custody and the time they were able to be turned over to a dismantler--originated in the mid 1980s and became a Board of Supervisors' policy. At the time, there were numerous abandoned vehicles on the streets and roads, attributable to low scrap metal prices and the aging of old "gas-guzzler" vehicles. It was also a time when the potential pollution liabilities of storing old leaking vehicles and the aesthetic impacts of storage on new well designed and landscaped facilities was not as well appreciated as today. Over the last decade, the abandoned vehicles problem did not disappear but substantially lessened. As a consequence, the Board has not called for the implementation of the abandoned vehicle conditions, as is specified, in the Acme Fill Waste Recovery and Transfer Station and the Keller Canyon Landfill conditions of approval. Staff consulted with the applicant and agreed to recommend to the Board that it eliminate the abandoned vehicle program requirement. The County Planning Commission concurred. If the requirement is eliminated from the IRRF Land Use Permits, it also should be removed from the Acme and Keller permits when they come up for review. 4 LAND USE PERMIT 2054-92 BULK MATERIAL PROCESSING CENTER ISSUES CONFORMANCE OF LAND USE PERMIT CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL WITH WEST CONTRA COSTA INTEGRATED WASTE MANAGEMENT AUTHORITY CONTRACT. Reference: Original Conditions 2.2, 2.3, 4.2, 6.2, 6.6, 6.17, Section 9, Section 18, Condition 21.3. The comments for this item made above in connection with Land Use Permit 2053-92, Central Processing Facility, also are applicable to Land Use Permit 2054-92, Bulk Material Processing Center. Should the Bulk Material Processing Center be regulated as a stand-alone facility or as a component of the Integrated Resource Recovery Facility? The County's contract with the West Contra Costa Integrated Waste Management Authority defines the Integrated Resource Recovery Facility as consisting of the Central Processing Facility, the West Contra Costa Sanitary Landfill Processing Facility--including both the Bulk Material Processing Center in the unincorporated area and the Composting Facility in the City of Richmond--and the interim use of the existing recycled materials processing center at the Richmond Sanitary Services corporation yard (not included in this permitting package) . Essentially, anything passing through the gates is regarded as subject to area of origin, rate control, host community fees, mitigation monitoring, and resource program requirements. The County Planning Commission, in contrast, regarded the Bulk Material Processing Center as a stand-alone concrete-crushing, wood-chipping facility, and eliminated any condition that would have treated the BMPC different from any other crushing/chipping plant. Subjects whose regulation is at issue are: Implementation/Mitigation Monitoring. Original Conditions 6.12 and 6.13. The County Planning Commission eliminated the applicant's obligations to pay for staff's monitoring of the Land Use Permit's Conditions of Approval and staff's technical consultant assistance ("Development Coordinator"). The County has a statutory obligation to monitor the implementation of Conditions which also are EIR mitigation measures. The County's recent permits have extended the coverage to all Conditions of Approval, and have obligated the "permittee" to pay the associated staff time and out-of-pocket costs. Consultant technical assistance is particularly needed in this case because the BMPC will be situated on a landfill and will adjoin a former hazardous waste (Class I) processing site. Rate Review and Approval Original Condition 6.15 As noted, the contract between the County and the WCCIWMA calls for rate review for the entire Integrated Resource Recovery Facility. 5 Host Community Mitigation Fee Original Condition 6.16. The contract between the County and the WCCIWMA calls for the Integrated Resource Recovery Facility to pay relevant costs and fees and staff had assumed this provision applied to all operations at the Bulk Material Processing Center. However, recent discussions with the WCCIWMA's Executive Director indicate that the WCCIWMA probably would not interpret the contract as requiring rate regulation, including collection of the $2/ton mitigation fee. If the Board does not wish to have the facility rate regulated, or to collect the $2/ton mitigation fee, it can declare its intention and staff's proposed wording would accommodate that direction. Staff's proposed wording would allow for no rate regulation and no collection of mitigation fees, but would still enable the County and the WCCIWMA to receive credit for diversion to meet AB 939 goals. If the Board's decision is to restore the fee, the staff's recommendation is to use the original text of LUP 2053-93. Regulatory and Waste Recovery Fee Original Condition 6.17 The collection of this $.75 per ton fee is precluded by the contract between the County and the WCCIWMA, staff recommends that the Condition be restored with the inclusion of a provision suspending its implementation (per Condition 6.19 in LUP 2053-92) . Service Area Original Section 9 The County Planning Commission eliminated.Section 9 in its entirety. Staff notes that the Integrated Resource Recovery Facility's EIR was predicated on the generation of waste and recyclables from the service area defined in Section 9, and the County/WCCIWMA contract is even more restrictive in its area-of-origin terms; staff, therefore, recommends that the section be restored with noted additions to confirm the provisions to the contract. The matter of the Bulk Materials Processing Center and the composting facility accepting recyclable material from a larger area may have merit, but the permittee should subsequently pursue the subject with the WCCIWMA, the County, and the City of Richmond and request permitting amendments after the subject has been more thoroughly explored. Resource Recovery Objectives Original Section 18 The County Planning Commission deleted Section 18, specifying resource recovery objectives after noting that comparable requirements are not being placed on other crushing/chipping facilities. Staff believes that the inclusion of resource recovery objectives is appropriate because the BMPC is intended to help the West County cities and the County to meet the waste division mandates of AB 939, and that the revised requirements now 6 included in the Conditions for LUP 2054-92 are consistent with the terms of the County/WCCIWMA Contract. Abandoned Vehicles Program Original Section 31 See the discussion for Section 35 under LUP 2053-92. OTHER MODIFICATIONS LAND USE PERMITS 2053-92 AND 2054-92 PLANNING COMMISSION MODIFICATIONS County Planning Commission-originated modifications to the Land Use Permits which are neither based on County/WCCIWMA Contract conformance nor involve policy issues are simply included without comment in the Conditions of Approval. Almost all were covered in testimony and staff reports produced for the County Planning Commission and provided to the Board. Staff considers these to be acceptable. STAFF-ORIENTED MODIFICATIONS Modifications to the Conditions of Approval which are identified as being originated by staff but which lack comment are edits, emissions, corrections and clarifications, and are not intended to introduce new substantive conditions into the permits. CAZ:insert 6-10-93 7 GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT WEST COUNTY INTEGRATED RESOURCE RECOVERY FACILITY (GPA 6-90-CO) In order to accommodate the (siting of the) West County Integrated Resource Recovery Facility sites, the Contra Costa Board of Supervisors amends the Contra Costa County General Plan, 1990-2005, as follows: • Amend plan policy 3-198 to add a sentence at the end of that policy which reads: "The West County Integrated Resource Recovery Facility site, circumscribed by Central Street, Brookside Drive, Third Street and the Wildcat Creek, is recognized as a facility of special concern for the implementation of the County' s solid waste management system. " • Amend plan policy 3-198 (if not already amended through the North Richmond Shoreline General Plan Amendment ( 5-93-CO) ] to add a sentence to the end of that policy which reads: "Lands which were the site of the West Contra Costa Sanitary Landfill ownership and which are designated as Open Space will continue to allow solid waste facilities on the property as an interim use of the land. " • Amend Chapter 7, Public Facilities/Services Element, Section 7 .11 - Solid Waste Management, to add a paragraph following the third paragraph on page 7-57 to read: "Materials recovery facility/transfer stations (MRF/TS) are recognized by the County to be instrumental in meeting the AB 939 diversion goals. These facilities, separately or in combination, can provide comprehensive materials recovery operations, efficient waste transfer operations, and household hazardous waste collection programs. In addition to the Acme Fill facility, two MRF/TS are proposed for inclusion in the County solid waste management system. Identified in the CoSWMP - the last public policy plan to be adopted by a majority of the cities/population in the cities in the County, and by the California Waste Management Board - these facilities are to be located in West and East County. The West County Integrated Resource Recovery Facility project, indicated in Figure 7-7, is recognized as the MRF/TS serving West County. " * Modify Figure 7-7 to add the 'West County Integrated Resource Recovery Facility - Central Processing Facility' and the 'West County Integrated Resource Recovery Facility - West Contra Costa Sanitary Landfill/Processing Facility, Bulk Material Processing Center' on the Solid Waste Processing and Disposal Facilities map, as shown on Plan Map A. • Amend Chapter 8, Conservation Element, Section 8.6 - vegetation and Wildlife, to add plan policy 8-29 to read: "Development of a barge mooring facility on the West Contra Costa Sanitary Landfill site shall be allowed only in a manner which mitigates any adverse environmental impacts and is consistent with the policies and implementation measures in this chapter. Mitigation measures shall be determined through the development review process and implemented through land use permit conditions of approval." 0 2 a m m Z CD o: y4C3 i• (n 07 to n O to J.�a °.s coyo y i w () o ^!t .o Q.

Franchise Agreement). 3 LUP#2053-92 5. PERAM REVIEW .1 Permit Review. The CCDD shall report annually to the BOS on compliance with • the Conditions of Approval of this Land Use Permit beginning one year after the commencement of operations of the facility. The Board may refer proposed changes to the Land Use Permit to the County Planning Commission for processing. If the Board finds that the permittee has not complied, it may take such corrective action as is required to remedy the situation. If the corrective action requires a modification to this Land Use Permit, such request for action shall be sent to the County Planning Commission for review and a public hearing on the matter. As a result of the review and public hearing, the County Planning Commission may recommend to the Board the appropriate corrective action. Nothing in this condition shall preclude the permittee from applying for amendments to the Land Use Permit at any time or preclude the County from addressing emergency situations or new requirements imposed by state legislation or the courts. 6. ADMINISTRATION PC .1 Relationship of These Conditions to Other Regulations. Several of these Conditions of Approval relate, paraphrase or summarize laws and regulations which are imposed and enforced by other governmental agencies which have jurisdiction over particular aspects of this project. It is the Board's intent in adopting these Conditions of Approval to provide the permittee and the public with an overview of the scope of regulation applicable to this project and to provide this County with enforcement power if such laws and regulations enforced by other agencies are violated. Unless specifically stated in the Condi- tions of Approval, however, it is not the Board's intent to establish rules or regulations which are stricter than the laws or regulations which are applied to this project by the other agencies with jurisdiction over aspects of this project. If another agency primarily responsible for some aspect of this project finds a of a se ',eterm nes that any action or inaction is in compliance with, or violates, any such law or regulation, that finding x`:.;<determi; atio shall be conclusive. If these Conditions of Approval require some approval by any other agency and that agency declines to approve or disapprove the subject matter, such approval shall be deemed to have been given for purposes of these Conditions of Approval. STAFF, .2 Delegation of Authority.

DESCRIPTION OF LAND USE PERMIT APPLICATION FORMAT The Integrated Resource Recovery Facility (IRRF) is a multi-faceted solid waste management: project that is intended to provide the waste handling program outlined in the Contra Costa County, County-wide Integrated Waste Management Plan(in draft form) and the goals of AB 939. This application requests the approval of the IRRF project EIR as specified in the Draft EIR issued September 1991 and referred to herein as the IRRF Master Plan. Further this application describes the first increment of the IRRF Master Plan to be constructed on the central site. The Central Processing Facility (CPF) will be constructed in phases and referred to as Stage I, Stage II etc.. Conditions of approval should address the IRRF Master Plan project and be scaled or timed in terms of implementation to meet the conditions confronted in the phasing of the project. For example landscaping of the Stage I project should include the permanent Master Plan landscaping, complete with berms, on the east and south property lines. Interior site landscaping should only be placed in areas where permanent improvements are to be placed. • The IRRF Master Plan is being phased as a consideration to the rate payers and to meet the West Contra Costa Integrated Waste Management Authority's (WCCIWMA) program needs. It is a complex undertaking involving a number of processing methods located at three different locations one of which is split between Contra Costa County (CCCo) and the City of Richmond (Richmond). Two land use permits, one for the CPF and one for the processing proposed for the West Contra Costa Sanitary Landfill (WCCSL) site, will be required from CCCo. A Conditional Use Permit and Design Review approval from Richmond will be required for the recycling operations to be conducted on the closed landfill within their jurisdiction. The application for a Land Use Permit for the Central Processing Facility (CPF) is attached to this description. The locations of the IRRF operations in Stage I are graphically shown in Figure 1 attached to this description. This application is specifically for the main IRRF Transfer and Processing Facility, the CPF, located on the property: wvez.zn 1 North of Wildcat Creek, between Central Street and Third Street in North Richmond. The CPF occupies APN 408-203-003,408-(1-03-007,408-203-008,409-300-024,409-300- 025, 409-300-029, 08-203-003,408-203-007,408-203-008,409-300-024,409-300- 025, 409-300-029, and 409-300-030. This application is supplemented by the following supporting volumes: 1. The original detailed project description and supplements, filed with Contra Costa County Department of Community Development in the fall of 1990. 2.

The items listed above are documents that exist within the Department of Community Development or other County departments and have not been attached to this description or the Land Use Permit application and are for reference only. The IRRF Master Plan and Stage I facilities require major permits from the LEA, CIWMB, Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB), Bay Area Air Quality Control Board I LUPs2.2a 2 (BAAQCB) and permits and approvals from other jurisdictions. A permit or Bay Plan • amendment, if required, from the Bay Conservation and Development Commission will be requested if and when the barge transportation element is to be developed or any fill is to be placed in the Bay for the WCCSL/PF. However, the first major permit required is the Land Use Permit issued by Contra Costa County the projects lead agency. The existing Interim Recycling Center (IRC) is a temporary use on property leased by the Applicant from the Owner. The facility processes recycled source separated material. The existing use will be transferred to the CPF at such time as the CPF is expanded to meet the 50% diversion requirement by year 2000. At that time the IRC facility will be used by RSS as part of its existing corporation yard fleet maintenance activities. • LUM2.2R 3 FIGURE I GRAPHICAL LOCATION IRRF OPERATIONS, Revised to conform with Figure II-4, page II-14 DEIR, September 1991. • • LUP92.2R 4 i i c l \ \t t 0 o t + o •ly^`yb� t 0 0 tp t ® ` -o N + Y e n G N R + Ot r tp i 4` a o � Go% LA va f a O i ' q O t 42 ; It. PROJECT DESCRIPTION A. INTRODUCTION The communities in western Contra Costa County ("West County") are faced with the imminent closure of the West Contra Costa Sanitary Landfill (WCCSL), expected to reach its permitted capacity between September 1993 and February 1994. In response to recent state legislation, cities and counties must attain high levels of resource recovery. The project includes processing for recyclable materials, inspection for hazardous .wastes and transfer vehicle delivery, all requirements of the new landfills benlg proposed in Contra Costa County. Riclunond Sanitary Service is under contract to provide refuse disposal for most of the West County area, including the cities of Hercules, Pinole, Richmond, and San Pablo, as well as the unincorporated areas surrounding these cities. In response to the disposal requirements of these communities, and to promote state and county solid-waste-management goals, the applicant, Richmond Sanitary Service, has developed plans for building an Integrated • Resource Recovery Facility ("IRRF") that would include comprehensive recycling and composting programs, as well as transfer station capabilities. Richmond Sanitary Service would construct the IRRF and operate it through West County Resource Recovery Corporation (WESTCORR), a separate company. The Contra Costa County Community Development Department (CDD) is the lead agency in preparation of this Environmental Impact Report. The project includes two sites, one of which is wholly in unincorporated Contra Costa County; the other is in both the City of Richmond and an unincorporated area of the County. The City of Richmond is a Responsible Agency for the project, and will have authority over permits for the WCCSL/PF site in its jurisdiction. The County retains Land Use authority for projects within unincorporated Contra Costa County. The CDD requires an adequate Comprehensive Project Description (CPD) for the proposed project site(s) before the County's permit process for a solid waste disposal facility can be initiated. Richmond Sanitary Service submitted a CPD for the West County Integrated Resource Recovery Facility project on August 17, 1990, and revisions on October 29, 1990, and November 20, 1990. II-1 t Construction costs of the IRRF would be financed through revenue bonds. Richmond Sanitary Service is seeking a contractual agreement with the entities that constitute the West Contra Costa Solid Waste Management Authority ("WCCSWMA") to control the flow of solid waste within the service area. The WCCSWMA membership includes representatives from-the above-mentioned cities, Contra Costa County, and the West Contra Costa Sanitary District, representing the unincorporated areas of the County. The above-mentioned jurisdictions would commit their waste streams and therefore ensure the availability of wastes and recoverable materials to the project, thus providing revenues to offset the bond payments. The project would encompass operations on two sites: the Central Facility and the West Contra Costa Sanitary Landfill /Processing Facility (WCCSL/PF). The Central Facility would be located in North Richmond, an unincorporated area of West Contra Costa County, on a site owned by Richmond Sanitary Service. Other auxiliary operations would take place on closed sections of the WCCSL, located in both the City of Riclunond and an unincorporated area of the County. The WCCSL site is owned by West County Landfill, Inc., an affiliate company of Richmond Sanitary Service, Inc. The regional location of the IRRF project sites is shown in Figure II-l. • The Central Facility would have a design capacity of approximately 1,200 tons per day (TPD). The Facility design is sized'to accommodate growth of the waste streain.in the service area over a twenty-year timespan, and to allow for peak periods of delivery. The projected throughput of the Central Facility (the quantity of materials and waste to be handled) would be 230,000 tons of waste during its fust year of operation (1993), or 630 TPD based on a seven-day week. By the year 2013, it is expected to receive 246,000 tons per year (674 TPD). Peak-hour intake is projected to be 314 tons per hour (TPH). Major waste-handling functions at the Central Facility would include: • operation of a long-haul transfer station; • processing, storage, and shipping of materials recovered from residential, corru»ercial, and self-haul wastes, including the processing of tnaterials collected through the curbside recycling program; • shredding of non-bulky wood wastes; • operation of a public buy-back center; • operation of a household-hazardous-waste collection facility (optional); and • screening incommi g loads for hazardous or unacceptable wastes.

Operations would include: • • composting of vegetative wastes (yard, brush, and wood wastes); • shredding of bulky wood-wastes; • asphalt, roadbed and concrete materials recovery; and • soil recovery and enrichment. Greenhouses are proposed in the southeastern zone of the WCCSL/PF. Resource recovery at both project sites is expected to divert from landfill disposal at least 25% of the service area's municipal solid waste (MSW) by 1995. The materials to be recovered through IRRF operations would include various grades of paper and paperboard, wood and yard wastes, concrete, asphalt, aluminum, ferrous metals, glass, plastic, and white goods (large appliances). Other materials may be recovered in the future if they are found to be economically recyclable or are required to be recycled by the governments having control over the facilities. B. BACKGROUND INFORMATION SOLID WASTE DISPOSAL IN CONTRA COSTA COUNTY Contra Costa County currently produces more than 2,300 tons of solid waste daily, and is rapidly depleting the permitted landfill capacity in the County. The anticipated volume of municipal solid waste is projected to rise from approximately 862,500 tons in 1990 to as much as 1,022,000 tons by 2000 (Contra Costa County, 1989a). Three landfills are operating currently in Contra Costa County: the WCCSL site, the Contra Costa Sanitary Landfill /Pittsburg Landfill (CCSL), and the Acme Landfill. The Acme Landfill, near Martinez, which served the Central County, has little remaining permitted capacity. The site now has an interim transfer station, and is delivering wastes to Potrero Hills Landfill in Solano County, and Altamont Landfill in Alameda County. It is being replaced with a material recovery facility and transfer ` station. A court stipulated judgement, in August 1991, requires that the CCSL close r on March 31, 1992. The disposal requirements for Contra Costa County in 1990, before export arrangements were in full operation, indicate that over one-third of County-generated waste was exported (Hoffman, 1991). II-4 The 1990 distribution of wastes to landfills was: • Disposal Site 1990 Amount WCCSL 320,237 tons CCSL 202,847 tons Acme: On-site disposal 10,019 tons Exported 329,402 tons TOTAL 862,505 tons The County has temporary waste-export agreements with both Alameda and Solano Counties. The contract with Solano County is in effect until April, 1993, or until Contra Costa exports a total of 265,000 tons to the Potrero Hills Landfill. In turn, Solano County receives a per-ton surcharge of five dollars in addition to landfill tipping fees. The contract with Alameda County is in effect until December, 1991, or until a maximum of 580,000 tons of waste is exported. The contract requires Contra Costa County to pay a five dollar fifty-cent per-ton surcharge on exported waste. However, the recently approved Alameda County Waste Reduction and Recycling Act of 1990 (also referred to as "Measure D") could result in an additional six dollar per-ton charge beginning in December, 1991,putting total surcharges at eleven dollars fifty cents per ton. The Contra Costa County Solid Waste Management Plan (Contra Costa County, 1989a) identified five potential disposal sites in the County, none in or close to West County. Two, the Marsh Canyon Sanitary Landfill site and the Keller Canyon Landfill site, were approved by the County and are now being reviewed by regulatory agencies. The County expects that both landfills could be operating in the 1992-1993 period. The other tluee sites failed to receive final approvals. The proposed Marsh Canyon Sanitary Landfill site is in eastern Contra Costa County, southwest of the City of Brentwood. The landfill would be a Class II disposal site, and as such could receive the County's commercial and residential waste streams and certain designated wastes. The site is approximately 1,123 acres, of which about 290 acres would eventually receive solid wastes. The projected capacity of the landfill is approximately 87 million cubic yards. On the basis of the waste quantities cited above, the landfill's longevity would be at least 40 years, and could be more than 70 years if the County implements state-mandated resource recovery goals (Contra Costa County, 1990b). II-5 The Keller Canyon Landfill site is in central Contra Costa County, south of the City of Pittsburg. The landfill would be a Class II disposal site. The site contains 2,628 acres, of which the area for deposited waste would be approximately 244 acres. The estimated capacity of the landfill is approximately 50 million cubic yards, giving it an expected lifespan of 30-plus years (Contra Costa County, 1989b). For the purposes of analysis, it will be assumed the waste will be hauled to the Marsh Canyon Landfill site. It is the furthest from the project site and represents a worst-case scenario. Landfill Site Conditions of Approval The Land Use Permit Conditions of Approval for both the Mar-s ten-Sanitary Landfill and Keller Canyon Landfill sites require solid waste to be preprocessed for recyclables, inspected for hazardous wastes, and delivered by transfer vehicles (Contra Costa County, 1990a). For example, the applicable Conditions of Approval for the Marsh Canyon Landfill site, specified in Condition 8, lists the requirements for eligible waste-transport vehicles. Condition 8 states that the landfill operator is required to admit only transfer-station vehicles, or large trucks hauling construction/demolition materials, designated wastes, or other specified wastes. Self-haul vehicles would not be permitted entry. Condition 8.La specifies that Contra Costa County transfer stations "shall have a waste management program, which includes hazardous waste screening and resource recovery operations, approved by the Board of Supervisors." The disposal site for waste hauled from the IRRF Central Facility has not yet been determined, and four of the sites discussed above are under consideration: the Keller Canyon landfill site, the Marsh Canyon landfill site in Contra Costa County, and the Altamont Sanitary Landfill, and the Potrero Hills Landfill outside of the County. Use of the Iatter two sites would require approvals from Alameda and Solano Counties, respectively, and the inclusion in the appropriate County Integrated Waste Management Plans (discussed below). It is expected that these other counties also would require recycling, inspection, and transfer-truck deliveries. II-6 COLLECTION OF REFUSE AND SOURCE-SEPARATED RECYCLABLES IN WEST CONTRA COSTA COUNTY Ricluliond Sanitary Service, East Bay Sanitary Service, and Bay View Refuse currently collect municipal solid waste in West County. Richmond Sanitary Service has franchise collection agreements with the West Contra Costa Sanitary District (WCCSD), representing all unincorporated areas in West County, and the Cities of Richmond, Hercules, Pinole, and San Pablo. These agreements are effective until 2001 (Hercules) and 2011 (all other agreements). East Bay Sanitary Service and Bay View Refuse contract to collect solid waste from El Cerrito and Kensington, respectively. In West County, all cities and unincorporated areas participate currently in curbside-recycling programs. Richmond Sanitary Service collects source-separated recyclables from all municipalities within the service area with the exception of El Cerrito and Kensington. El Cerrito operates a recycling program through its E.C.ology Center. The E.C.ology program incorporates curbside collection recycling services, commercial collection of recyclables, a buy-back and drop-off center, and satellite drop-off programs for the City of El Cerrito. Bay View Refuse administers the curbside collection program for Kensington. As discussed in Section II-D, Service Area and Hauling Routes, Richmond Sanitary Service believes that an ultimate IRRF service area could include the communities of Rodeo and Orinda-Moraga. These communities have refuse /recyclables collection agreements with Pleasant Hill/Bayshore Disposal and Orinda/Moraga Disposal, respectively. CALIFORNIA INTEGRATED WASTE MANAGEMENT ACT OF 1989 The California Integrated Waste Management Act (Sher, 1989, California Code of Regulations (CCR) Title 14, Division 7) hereinafter referred to as AB 939, redefines solid waste management at the local level in terms of both objectives and policy implementation. The law establishes a new hierarchy of waste management practices for state- and local-level planning, including (in preferential order): • source reduction; • recycling and composting; and 11-7 • environmentally safe landfill disposal and environmentally safe transformation (conversion of waste to energy), at the discretion of the city or county. AB 939 requires that cities and counties formulate plans to divert 25% of the waste currently disposed of in landfills by 1995, and to divert 50% of the waste by the year - 2000. The County Integrated Waste Management Plan (CIWMP) includes city and county Source Reduction and Recycling Elements (SRREs), Household Hazardous Waste Elements (HHWEs) and the Countywide Siting Element. Under current legislation, each city and county must adopt and submit these elements for inclusion in the CIWMP by July 1, 1991. The SRREs are required to contain a waste characterization study and eight mandated components which include an implementation schedule for attaining the above-stated diversion goals. The mandated components are Source Reduction, Recycling, Composting, Special Waste, Public Information and Education, Disposal Facility Capacity, Funding and Integration. Household hazardous waste is considered in the HHWE. Any County such as Contra Costa County, which has less than five years of remaining landfill capacity, is required to submit the CIWMP to the California Integrated Waste Management Board for approval on or before January 1, 1992 under current legislation.* AB 2092 (Sher, 1991) was introduced recently in the State legislature. If approved, this bill would amend AB 939 by extending the July 1, 1991 deadline by six months to January 1, 1992. Countywide Integrated Waste Management Plan deadlines for counties with less than five year remaining landfill capacity would be extended six months as well. The Contra Costa County Community Development Department (CDD) is the agency responsible for preparing the SRRE and HHWE for the unincorporated areas of the County, including West County, and implementing the county elements described above. The cities of West County, under the guidance of the WCCSWMA, are jointly preparing the required city elements. The elements for West County and unincorporated Contra Costa County are currently (August, 1991) in draft form, and will undergo further review before adoption. The Countywide Siting Element is currently being prepared as well. RICHMOND SANITARY SERVICE'S "RECYCLING PLAN" In response to state and county recycling goals and to offset the shortfall of landfill capacity, Richmond Sanitary Service developed the West Contra Costa County Recycling Plan. The IRRF project is the central feature of the "Recycling Plan", summarized below. II-8 Phage I (1) Provide the convnunities of West County with the following recycling collection services: • voluntary weekly curbside recycling for single-family residences; • curbside programs for multi-unit dwellings; and • recycling for various commercial and institutional establishments, such as offices and restaurants. (2) Establish an interim recycling facility to process materials recovered through these programs, and provide a public buy-back center. (3) Initiate a public awareness campaign to promote waste reduction and recycling. Phase II (1) Construct the IRRF Central Facility to take over the functions of the interim facility, and include three additional operations: mixed-waste recovery, wood-shredding, and the collection of household hazardous wastes. (2) Expand Phase I recycling programs. (3) Study feasibility of a residential yard-waste collection program. (4) Study feasibility of increased recovery of batteries, oil, and tires. Phase I of the Recycling Plan, implemented in 1990, is nearly completed. The residential curbside collection program (curbside program) was introduced in October, 1990, and will serve both single-family and multi-unit dwellings. The program involves the collection of newspaper, aluminum cans, glass bottles, ferrous and bimetal cans, and high-density polyethylene (HDPE) and polyethylene terephthalate (PET) plastic beverage containers. The materials are collected semi-commingled; glass, aluminum and plastic are collected in one container and newspaper is collected in bags or tied bundles. During the first year of operations Richmond Sanitary Service expects to expand the program to approximately 163,000 people. On the basis of a participation rate of 65% and assumptions on waste composition discussed in the following section,Richmond Sanitary Service expects to recover approximately 12% of residential waste through the curbside programs (HDR Engineering, Inc., 1990). II-9 The commercial programs operated by Richmond Sanitary Service involve the collection from various types of businesses of source-separated and resource-rich loads of white paper, mixed paper, cardboard, and glass. The Interim Recycling Facility, located at the Richmond Sanitary Service corporation yard adjacent to the WCCSL site entrance, began operations in February, 1991. The facility currently receives,processes and stores recyclables recovered through the Phase I programs, pending the construction of the IRRF Central Facility. Upon completion of the IRRF project, the interim facility would function as a truck-maintenance facility for the Richmond Sanitary Service collection fleet. FLOW CONTROL ORDINANCE As noted above, the West County municipalities would commit their solid waste (MSW) to guarantee revenues and ensure project financing. Solid waste generated in the service area is controlled currently by existing ordinances and franchise agreements for refuse collection, many of which are held by Richmond Sanitary Service. Existing franchise agreements between Richmond Sanitary Service and the . West County municipalities differ in content. Richmond Sanitary Service is seeking a uniform,jointly-drafted waste-flow-control ordinance to be adopted by each member municipality. It is likely that some cities, such as El Cerrito, which has a curbside program and a recycling processing center, may not contract for all services offered by the applicant. This issue is discussed in detail in Section HI.M: Rate Base, Fiscal Analysis, and Property Values. In June, 1991, Contra Costa County adopted an ordinance enabling the County to franchise unincorporated areas for refuse collection and disposal, or to execute Memorandums of Understanding (MOUS) with sanitary districts now franchising for these services. C. LOCATION AND ACCESS The project sites would be located in western Contra Costa County at the north end of San Francisco Bay, near the south shore of San Pablo Bay, and primarily northwest of the City of Richmond. The two sites are approximately one mile apart and would have waste-recovery and processing activities that move materials between the two sites. • 11-10 • IRRF CENTRAL FACILITY The Central Facility would occupy a 21-acre site between Central Street and Third Street, and Wildcat Creek and Brookside Drive, in the unincorporated area of North Richmond (see Figure 11-2). The site is owned by the applicant and is a currently vacant parcel with two groves of mature trees. The Central Facility includes Assessor's Parcel Numbers(APN) 408-203-003,408-203-007, 408-203-008, 409-300-024, 409-300-025, 409-300-029 and 409-300-030. Figure U-3 is the proposed configuration for the Central Facility. The Central Facility would be the location for the waste receiving and processing building located in the center, a houshold-hazardous-waste facility to the west, an administration building and visitors' center in the southwest comer, and vehicle-maintenance and truck-wash buildings along the east side of the property. The existing foundation conditions at the Central Facility site are unsuitable as structural foundation support without any subsurface preparation. The project would require construction on engineered fill. Woodward-Clyde Consultants has completed a geotechnical investigation of the site (Appendix C) and has recommended modifications to the subsurface to solve the problem. The applicant proposes to follow these recommendations. This is described further in Section III-I, Geology and Seismicity. Existing land uses in and around the site include agricultural, industrial, and residential. Across the creek to the south and to the east is the neighborhood of North Riclvnond, consisting primarily of single-family dwellings. The distance from the project site boundary to the nearest house is approximately 190 feet. The nearby land uses are described in detail in Section III-A, Land Use, Plans and Policies. WCCSL SITE Figure U-4 shows the proposed uses of the WCCSL site. The WCCSL site is located approximately one mile west of the Central Facility, adjacent to San Pablo Bay, with portions in both the City of Richmond and an unincorporated area of the County. The landfill occupies APNs 408-140-006, 408-140-008, and 408-140-009. The Nevada-shaped parcel, west of the WCCSL site, is not a part of the project. II-11 w BLVD.

The total land area of the WCCSL site is approximately 350 acres. Approximately 160 acres are used for a Class II solid waste disposal site, 28 acres comprise an inactive hazardous-waste site, 80 acres are designated for water-oriented use, and 12 acres contain the landfill gas recovery plant and future leachate treatment systems. A wetlands area is southeast of the actual landfill, and includes approximately 69 acres of the WCCSL site. The Richmond Sanitary Service corporation yard is just across the San Pablo Creek to the - east, on a nine-acre parcel of the site. The wetlands area, consisting of a salt marsh, has been identified by the landfill operator as a runoff control pond. Discussion of the wetlands area is in-Section III-J, Hydrology and Water Quality. Land uses around the WCCSL site are agricultural and industrial. The West Contra Costa Sanitary District wastewater treatment plant is to the southeast of the site. The nearby land uses are described in detail in Section III-A: Land Use, Plans, and Policies. ACCESS TO THE IRRF FACILITIES The partially-constructed Richmond Parkway (shown in Figure H-2), is approximately one-eighth of a mile from both sites, and would serve as the principal access route for �I the IRRF. Eventually, the Riclunond Parkway will connect with Interstate 80 (I-80) to -' the north and Highway 580 to the south; however, construction may not be completed _1 by 1993, the first possible year of operation of the IRRF. As of March 1, 1991, the 1 portion of the Parkway between Castro Street to the south and Parr Boulevard to the north was open to traffic. Pending completion of the Richmond Parkway, the applicant proposes that the following access routes would be used: • To and froth the north -- Richmond Parkway to Parr Boulevard, to Giant -! Highway, to Brookside Drive, to Rutnrill Road, to El Portal Drive, to I-80. • To and from the south -- Richmond Parkway to Castro Street, to Highway 580. l Collection-truck traffic approaching the IRRF from the South Richmond area -- via I Castro Street, Garrard Boulevard, or Harbour Way -- would use the Richmond Parkway entrance at Castro Street.* Collection vehicles from Hercules, Pinole, and El Sobrante would continue to use I-80, exiting at Hilltop Drive or El Portal Drive to Parr )) Boulevard. 11-15 r a • Access to the IRRF Central Facility would be provided via Pittsburg Avenue and, for employee vehicles, via Third Street. The majority of all truck traffic traveling to the site would use Riclunond Park�vay,txit onto Pittsburg Avenue, travel east, and enter the site at the Pittsburg Avenue / Central Street entrance. Although most commercial and self-haul vehicles would go to the Central Facility, some would continue to travel to the WCCSL/PF via Parr Boulevard. Truck traffic between project sites would travel west on Pittsburg Avenue, north on Richmond Parkway, and west on Parr Boulevard. Proposed Road Improvements The existing Pittsburg Avenue between Richmond Parkway and the proposed IRRF Central Facility entrance is a 20-foot-wide asphaltic roadway in a 40-f00t7wide right-of-way. The applicant proposes that this section be widened to 28 feet of pavement with curbs. D. SERVICE AREA AND HAULING ROUTES PROPOSED SERVICE AREA The IRRF would perform two primary waste management services: the processing of recyclable materials, and the loading of the remaining, nonprocessible wastes into transfer trucks for transport to a distant landfill. The West County service area, shown in Figure 11-5, includes the West County cities of El Cerrito, Hercules, Pinole, Richmond, and San Pablo; Crockett (unincorporated); and the West Contra Costa Sanitary District (WCCSD). The WCCSD covers most of the unincorporated areas in the West County, including the communities of El Sobrante, North Richmond, Tara Hills, and Richmond Heights. EXTENDED SERVICE AREA Richmond Sanitary Service is considering an expansion of both the area to be served by the project and the breadth of services to be offered. For the waste management functions described above, the service area could be expanded to include the coinrnunities of Rodeo and Orinda-Moraga (shown in Figure II-6),but that.expansion area is not considered to be a part of the service area for this EIR.

Figure II-6 Existing and Proposed Landfill Sites U_18 applicant is examining the possibility of receiving construction/demolition wastes and composting materials via barge from other Bay Area locations; and expanding the IRRF to include additional waste processing, such as refuse-derived-fuel production, beneficiation, and in-vessel compositing of residential wastes. The receipt of barge-hauled waste is proposed as part of the project and is discussed in Section LII-E, Traffic, Circulation and Parking; under Barge-Transport. The addition of - waste-processing operations to the IRRF is proposed as an alternative to the project, and is discussed in Section V-F. Future waste management operations at the IRRF could involve upgrading recovered materials through additional cleaning and refining, and/or re-manufacturing reclaimed materials into new end-products. The applicant has identified several options for the Central Facility currently under consideration: • Use of the Central Facility as a processing center for other recycling operations in the region. Such processing services could include additional cleaning and refining (beneficiation) of materials that have undergone preliminary sorting. • Construction of a.facility north of the Central Processing Building to recover wastes from residential packer trucks. The facility could be used to process mixed waste into refuse-derived-fuel, sort and repulp waste paper, or conduct an in-vessel type composting operation. • Construction of"satellite processing facilities." Possible uses include the reananufacturing of waste plastics into new products, and the marketing of building materials salvaged from the waste stream. None of these options are included in the current project. Their feasibilities are . contingent on future needs and programs which are speculative at this time. If additional IRRF facilities and functions are proposed at a later date, additional documentation, approvals, and environmental review would be required. HAUL ROUTES TO LANDFILLS Figure II-6 shows the location of the four disposal sites which may receive wastes from the IRRF. It is assumed that when the Richmond Parkway connects to I-80, transfer trucks traveling from the Central Facility would use the Richmond Parkway to I-80. Until Richmond Parkway connects to I-80, the transfer trucks will have to use a less convenient road network to connect to I-80. The description and analysis of the interum routes to I-80 ai�e discussed in Section III-E, Traffic, Circulation and Parking. II-19 With the exception of I-80, the routes to the landfills in Contra Costa County described below are those designated in the Marsh Canyon Landfill and Keller Canyon Landfill Land Use Permits. The approximate one-way distances and haul routes from the IRRF Central location to the proposed sites are as follows: • Marsh Canyon Sanitary Landfill site -- 56 miles. Haul Route: I-80 north to State Highway 4 (Hwy 4); Hwy 4 east through Brentwood; Walnut Boulevard south to Marsh Creek Road; and Marsh Creek Road west to the Marsh Canyon site. • Keller Canyon Landfill site -- 31 miles. Haul Route: I-80 north to Hwy 4; Hwy 4 east to Bailey Road; Bailey Road south to the Keller Canyon site. • Potrero Hills Landfill -- 31 miles. Haul Route: I-80 north to State Highway 12 (Hwy 12); Hwy 12 east to Scally Road and Kildeer Road; Kildeer Road west to the Potrero Hills Landfill site. Altamont Sanitary Landfill -- 52 miles. Haul Route: 1-80 south to Interstate 580 (1-580); I-580 east to South Front Road and Altamont Pass Road; Altamont Pass Road north to the Altamont Sanitary Landfill site. RECOVERED MATERIALS TO MARKET The locations of markets for the materials recovered by the project have not yet been determined, but it is expected that they would be primarily in the Bay Area. It is likely that trucks would be routed to I-80 to reach final market destinations. E. WASTE STREAM AND PROJECT CAPACITY AB 939 requires extremely detailed waste characterization studies to estimate the composition of the jurisdiction's municipal solid waste and determine existing rates of waste generation. As the studies for the West County area are not yet available, the project relies on data from earlier studies. The dynamic nature of the waste stream is such that it will always be undergoing changes, and the applicant assumes that the data used are adequate for planning this project. Pending the availability of the waste characterization studies, data contained in this section are derived from the applicant's Integrated Resource Recovery Facility Project Description. The IRRF Central Facility capacity (1,200 TPD, to accommodate peak daily deliveries on any given day) is sized to accommodate growth in the service area's waste stream over a twenty-year period. Quantities of solid waste generated in the proposed project's service area were projected from 1988 through the year 2013, the twentieth 1I-20 • n year of operation of the IRRF, using population projections prepared by the Association of Bay Area Governments ("ABAG") and existing scale data from the WCCSL site. ABAG projections by city and sufrounding unincorporated areas indicate a 7.3% " increase in population over the twenty year period. Total population for the service area is expected to increase from 196,660 in 1993 to 211,000 in 2013 (HDR Engineering, 1990). _ Population figures were combined with waste quantities based on scale data at the - WCCSL site for 1989, presented in Table II-1, to determine an average per-person waste-generation rate. An average waste-generation rate of 7.1 pounds/person/day for the service area was established. This reflects a combination of residential, - commercial, and industrial waste sources. Of the total waste generated, the applicant estimates that approximately ten percent of the waste stream, consisting of - construction fill material (largely dirt and rock), would not be taken to either project site, but would be transported directly to a disposal or fill site. On the basis of this assumption, the applicant revised the waste generation rate to 6.4 pounds/person/day, to reflect anticipated quantities of waste to be processed at the Central Facility. The applicant has assumed that the per capita generation rate would remain constant, ` over the project term, ieflecting a balancing of the effects of a trend in increased ` packaging and state-mandated source reduction measures on the waste stream. The impact of increased recycling efforts in the service area has been accounted for under the assumption that source-separated materials would be collected through Richmond Sanitary Seryice recycling programs, and processed at the IRRF Central Facility. The solid waste quantities expected to be processed at the IRRF Central Facility are shown in Table II-2. It is anticipated that approximately 246,400 tons of waste would be handled through the Central Facility in the year 2013, representing approximately 675 TPD averaged _ over the year. As Table II-1 indicates, actual daily waste quantities vary considerably in relation to the type of waste being delivered. To approximate actual waste deliveries, the projected throughput of the IRRF was broken down by vehicle-type into residential, commercial, self-haul, and curbside-collection tonnages. Table Il-3 presents estimated average and peak deliveries for each waste category.

WASTE COMPOSITION Residential waste, commercial waste and self-haul waste would be received in separate areas of the IRRF Central Facility and handled differently. The relative quantities of each waste category are based on the WCCSL scale data contained in Table II-1. On the basis of the types of waste-hauling vehicles, it was estimated that 34%, by weight, of the waste to be processed at the IRRF is from residential sources, 52% is from commercial sources, and 14% is self-haul. Certain wastes, including auto-shredder waste, sewage sludge, bulky wood items, concrete, and asphalt, would not be accepted at the IRRF Central Facility. The last three wastes would instead be diverted to the WCCSL/PF. II-24 I The applicant's project engineer, HDR Engineering, Inc., approximated the waste composition for the service area using several previous studies from cities in the Bay Area and elsewhere. These studies were used to estimate the waste composition of West County municipal solid waste (Figure II-7), and the relative quantity of each material in each waste category (Table H-4). MATERIALS RECOVERY QUANTITIES IRRF materials-recovery operations would involve the collection of source-separated recyclables through the programs noted above, the sorting of commercial and self-hauled mixed-waste loads, wood waste processing at the Central Facility, and the composting and inert-materials operations to take place at the WCCSL/PF. It is difficult to predict actual recovery rates, as there are a number of variables which -- cannot be projected. To estimate recovery rates for the IRRF Central Facility, the applicant studied various Bay Area recycling programs, including those at the Berkeley Transfer Station and Recycling Center. On the basis of these observations, and data on the waste stream composition, the applicant estimated the amount of each .recyclable material in each waste category. These "target" rates were then compared with actual recovery rates ("capture" rates) achieved by other programs. Using these assumptions, the applicant estvnated that approximately 11.8% of - residential waste would be recovered through the curbside programs, and .. approximately 25% of self-haul waste, that Laction consisting primarily of cardboard and vegetative waste, would be recovered. The recovery rate for commercial waste would vary, depending on the level of sorting. Richinond Sanitary Service estimates that as much as 80% of commercial waste is recoverable, consisting of white paper, mixed paper, cardboard, wood, scrap - aluminum, scrap iron, and film plastic, as well as the materials targeted by the - curbside collection program. Commercial waste loads would undergo preliminary _ sorting on the tipping floor of the waste receiving and processing building, recovered materials would be segregated, and the balance would be conveyed to the mixed-waste picking station where workers would remove additional recyclables.

II-27 would depend on the number of shifts of operation at the picking station. With a • one-shift operation, the recovery rate is estimated at 20% of the commercial waste stream. With a two-shift operation, about 30% would be diverted. Tables 1I-5 and II-6 provide information on the recovery rates for the IRRF Central Facility and the assumed quantities of materials to be recovered, respectively. Table U-5 summarizes the target and recovery rates for the three waste categories as percentages of the total amount of materials/wastes (throughput) to be processed at the IRRF Central Facility. It is estimated that the buy-back center would account for approximately one percent of materials diverted from disposal. On the basis of the above-noted assumptions, the IRRF Central Facility would recover 23 to 28% of throughput, reflecting one-shift and two-shift operations at the mixed-waste picking station, respectively. In the IRRF Central Facility design, the applicant has allowed for the addition of a picking station to process residential waste. This would augment the recovery rate by an undetermined amount. The future picking station would be added if it were deemed necessary to attain a 50% diversion rate by. the year 2000, as mandated by AB 939. The projected quantities for the WCCSL/PF operations are listed in Table II-7. The quantities shown are based on observations made by Richmond Sanitary Service on inert-materials recovery operations being conducted at the Potrero Hills Landfill. Whereas concrete, soil, and asphalt would be delivered directly to the WCCSL/PF, it is assumed that most of the compostable materials (yard waste and wood fines)would be delivered from the Central Facility. The relative quantities of concrete, soil, and asphalt in West County municipal solid waste (MSW)have not been determined, and are not included in the waste composition studies cited above. It is assumed that an unspecified amount of wood and yard wastes would be delivered directly to the WCCSL/PF. Some sources of these materials would probably be outside the service area.

WASTE RECEIVING AND PROCESSING BUILDING The main processing building, shown in Figure H-8, would be approximately 154,000 square feet in area, approximately 70 feet in height, with operations occurring on several different levels. Vehicles would ascend ramps at the exterior of the building and enter the appropriate area. The main building would contain five major processing installations: the mixed waste picking station, the curbside collection picking station, the wood shredder, the balers (2), and the waste compactors (2); as well as tipping areas, storage areas, and loadout areas. The functional areas within the structure include: • residential-waste tipping area; • commercial-waste tippuig area; • buy-back center; • mixed-waste processing area; • wood processing area; 1I-31 N .

Figure U-8 shows these areas within the main processing building. All processing equipment within the building would be controlled and monitored from local control stations. The conveyors and processing equipment would be interlocked electrically to ensure that each component would be started and stopped sequentially, thereby precluding the possibility of discharging materials into nonoperational equipment. Emergency stop push-buttons and pull-cords are to be placed at each piece of equipment and at a central control station for each installation. Materials and wastes would be delivered to designated areas of the building,where they would undergo sorting. Through a system of interconnected conveyors, recovered materials would be sent either to the baler area or directly to the materials loadout • area. Residential waste and residual wastes remaining after resource recovery operations would be compacted and loaded into long-haul transfer trucks for shipment to a landfill for disposal. Most waste delivered to the main processing building would be unloaded onto a concrete floor, referred to as the tipping floor. The tipping floor, encompassing the commercial and residential tipping areas, the self-haul storage area, the wood-shredder enclosure, and the nonprocessible mixed waste storage and loadout area, would be supported by structural columns rising approximately sixteen feet above the ground-floor level of the structure. The preload transfer compactors would be beneath the north side of the tipping floor, on the ground floor. Residential Waste Handlintr 1. The entrance to the residential and commercial tipping areas would be at the southeast comer of the building, adjacent to the self-haul vehicle exit. Combined, the residential and commercial tipping areas would cover approximately 20,000 square feet, and could accommodate up to 18 trucks unloading simultaneously. The residential collection vehicles (rear-loader packer trucks) would tip loads onto the designated area of the tipping floor, obvious concentrations of recyclables such as cardboard would be issegregated, and a front-end loader (tractor) would then push the waste into stacks against the walls of the nonprocessible-mixed-waste storage and loadout area II-33 (waste-loadout area). Any recovered materials would be combined with like materials in the commercial waste processing area for subsequent sorting and baling. The waste-loadout area would provide storage for approximately 1,000 tons of refuse. The waste would then be fed into one of the preload compactors through a hopper located in the tipping floor. Pursuant to the Bay Area Air Quality Management District's (BAAQMD) Authority to Construct, storage time for wastes at the facility could be restricted to 24 hours. If the BAAQMD allows for longer storage times such as for ` traffic management, wastes shall not be held for longer than 48 hours. This condition does allow for the loading of a transfer truck after 6:00 p.m. on one day and dispatching it by 7:00 p.m. the next day. This would not affect storage time for recyclable materials. Transfer Compactor Area The main function of the transfer compactors is to increase the payloads hauled by the ` transfer vehicles to the maximum over-the-road weight limits. Each compactor would be set on electronic load cells to measure the payload and transmit the weight to a _ digital display. A front-end loader operator would coordinate with an operator at the ` compactor control panel, located below the tipping floor, to charge (fill) the compactor. The loader operator would push refuse off the tipping floor and into the chamber, and the compactor would compress it into a dense, bale-like mass. Once the "bale" had reached the maximum allowable weight, the compactor operator would open the compactor door and transfer the waste from the chamber into a transfer trailer - connected to the compactor. If both compactors were nonoperational, uncompacted waste would be loaded into - open-top transfer trucks via a loadout hopper adjoining the north wall of the building (shown in Figure I1-8). A removable section of the wall would allow access to the - loadout hopper, and front-end loaders would push waste into the hopper to drop into the trucks stationed below. " Residential Waste Picking Station As noted in Section II-C, the applicant has designed the main processing building to - accoinrnodate an additional picking station to sort residential waste (identified in Figure 11-8 as "future picking station"). The picking station would be a smaller-scale version of the commercial mixed-waste picking station, described below. I1-34 • Corrunercial Waste Handling Commercial waste collected by Richmond Sanitary Service's front-loader packer trucks and drop-box trucks would be tipped onto the central area of the tipping floor. Loads would be sorted by hand and by front-end loader (tractor) into segregated piles of wood, cardboard, and metals, and stored in designated areas on the tipping floor. The remaining waste, containing a high concentration of recyclables, would be pushed onto a feed conveyor and transported up to the commercial mixed-waste picking station. The residual wastes would be conveyed to the waste-loadout area. Commercial Mixed-Waste Picking Station The mixed-waste picking station, an enclosed operation, is to be located on a platform approximately 18 feet above the tipping floor, and 34 feet above the ground-level floor. The station would have sorting positions for up to 24 employees. Employees would reach the station via a corridor beneath the tipping floor connecting the employee area with the processing installations. Material would be conveyed up to the • station and past workers who would remove targeted recyclables by hand. The separated materials would be dropped into chutes and stored in bins beneath the picking station. Color-sorted glass would be dropped into bin-conveyors and transported directly to the recovered-materials storage and loadout area. The residual waste remaining after processing would be conveyed to the waste loadout area. Self-Haul Waste Handling The self-haul tipping area would have fourteen unloading bays. On weekends, overflow traffic would be directed to the commercial and residential tipping areas. The unloading bays would be approximately one and one-half feet higher than the tipping floor, and separated from it by a wall three and one-half feet high. Vehicles would back up to the wall and unload onto the tipping floor. The self-haul waste is expected to consist primarily of wood, large items such as furniture, white ggods, and yard waste. These materials would be separated and transported to the appropriate areas as described above. White goods would be placed in a rolloff container and taken to an off-site location for recycling. 11-35 Wood Shredding Area Wood recovered at the self-haul, commercial and residential tipping areas is to be stockpiled adjacent to an enclosed shredder. This would be combined with wood conveyed from the commercial mixed-waste picking station, and would be loaded periodically onto a main conveyor feeding the shredder. The material would be - conveyed beneath a magnetic separator to remove metal contaminants, and fed into the shredder. The shredder itself would be walled off to control noise and dust. Once ground, the material (reduced to wood chips to be sold as boiler fuel and woodfines to be taken to the wood composting operation at the WCCSL/PF) would pass a second magnetic separator and through a screening system to remove the fines. Curbside-Collected-Materials Handling Recyclables from the curbside program undergo preliminary sorting when collected. The specialized collection vehicles.are equipped with three compartments to allow for the separation of newspaper, aluminum, glass, ferrous metallic cans and plastic bottles. The compartments can be offloaded individually. The tipping area for the curbside collection trucks is to be on the west side of the building. A viewing gallery for visitors to the site would separate this area from the main functional areas within the structure. The entrance and exits would be equipped with roll-up doors that would be closed during tipping operations to attenuate noise. Trucks arriving at the curbside collection tipping area would deposit the newspaper onto a storage area of the floor. The used food and beverage containers would be offloaded into a large bin, below the floor level. The bin would feed a conveyor that would move the material past a magnetic separator and up to the commingled-materials picking station, described in the next paragraph. Ferrous cans would be diverted and conveyed to a storage bin. Commingled-Materials Picking Station This picking station would be a smaller-scale version of the commercial mixed-waste picking station, and located on an elevated platform adjacent to the curbside tipping area and the buy-back center. Workers would segregate the HDPE and PET plastic and color-sort the glass, dropping the materials into storage bins beneath the station. II-36 Mixed broken glass would not be removed, but would continue on the conveyor and drop into a separate storage bin at the end of the picking station. Materials Baling and Loadout Operations With the exception of wood-waste products, large scrap metals, and glass, all recovered materials would be baled. An intricate, multi-leveled system of conveyors would integrate the sorting and temporary storage areas with the baler area, on a raised portion of the ground floor. Similar materials from the commingled-materials picking station, the commercial mixed-waste picking station, and cardboard and paper storage areas would be conveyed sequentially onto one of two conveyor belts feeding the balers. The conveyor would feed one material at a time to the baler until all of that material had been baled. This process would be repeated for each type of material. Each baler would produce wire-tied, export-ready bales of approximately 52 cubic feet. The bales would be moved by a forklift into the recovered materials storage and loadout area, a canopied area at the north end of the building, or loaded directly into trucks or shipping containers, or stored on the floor. Glass and wood fines would be stored in roll-off containers until transported to market or, in the case of wood fines, to the WCCSL Site to be turned into compost. Wood chips would be stored in overhead storage hoppers for subsequent loadout into large-capacity trucks. Buy-Back Center The buyback center would be in the southwest corner of the waste receiving and processing building: Vehicles delivering recyclables to the center would enter through the west side of the building, redeem their recyclables , drive up a ramp into the self-haul waste tipping area, and exit through the east side of the building. The center would accept cardboard, newsprint, white paper, computer paper, aluminum cans, and color-sorted glass. Materials in storage bins in the buy-back center would be transferred periodically into the larger storage bins beneath the commingled-materials picking station. 1I-37 Document Destruction Area Aa er shredder for the destruction of confidential documents would occupy an area PP P adjacent to the buy-back center. The document destruction area would have a separate entrance and parking area. The shredding machine would be walled off from the rest of the processing area. After shredding the paper from this area would be baled with other paper recovered at the Central Facility. — Vehicle Maintenance and Employee Areas Transfer vehicles and in-station equipment (skip loaders, forklifts, etc.) would be maintained in a building attached to the east side of the waste receiving and processing building. The building would house three vehicle-maintenance bays, with overhead roll-up doors at each end. Employee locker rooms and convenience rooms, offices, and parts storage areas would also be located on the second floor. SCALE HOUSE Two combination scale-house/inspection stations would be provided adjacent to the entrance roadways leading to the main processing building, as shown in Figure II-3. The main scale house would be between an inbound and an outbound scale in-the roadway used by residential and commercial-refuse collection vehicles. Vehicles would be weighed upon entering and exiting to determine, by difference, the weight of materials unloaded at the IRRF Central Facility. Recyclables going to material markets would also be weighed. Transfer trucks carrying waste to the landfill would also be weighed. Incoming loads of uncompacted waste would be subject to visual inspection for potential hazardous or unacceptable wastes. Vehicles containing such wastes would be directed to a local hazardous-waste facility. The second scale house would be located in the roadway used by public self-haul vehicles, curbside collection vehicles, and vehicles unloading at the Household Hazardous Waste Building. Attendants would direct each driver to the appropriate entrance to the main processing building or to the Household Hazardous Waste Building. Self-haul loads also would be screened for hazardous wastes. II-38 OPTIONAL HOUSEHOLD HAZARDOUS WASTE BUILDING Adjacent to the self-haul vehicle roadway, the household hazardous waste building could serve as a dropoff and temporary storage facility for selected materials. The applicant has stated that the decision to include this facility will be determined by the West County Communities and other agencies which will regulate the IRRF. The lead agency believes the inclusion of the household hazardous waste building is essential to the Central Facility. As currently planned, the proposed facility would accept only recyclable household hazardous wastes, such as latex paint, used oil, conventional wet and dry batteries, and antifreeze. These materials typically account for about 60 - 70% by weight of the household-hazardous-waste stream. The materials received would be identified and prepared for shipment within the building. The project does not propose to process the wastes on site. Personnel working at the facility would be required to go through 40 hours of classroom training in the handling of hazardous material, personal protective equipment, and spill containment. They would receive eight-hours of refresher training annually. There is the potential for subsequent conversion to a full-range household hazardous waste facility, where additional materials such as poisons, oil-base paint, and flammables could be accepted. Meanwhile, it is expected that these types of waste would be delivered directly to the Erickson Hazardous Waste Transfer/Treatment Facility, located north of the Central Facility. The Erickson Facility was permitted in 1991 to operate as a commercial hazardous waste transfer station, and is required by the County to develop a household hazardous waste collection program. Processing Procedure The household hazardous waste facility would consist of a 5,000-square-foot storage building and two 500- or 1,000-gallon storage tanks designated for used oil and antifreeze. The tanks would be surrounded by a berm to contain spillage. Customers would be responsible for emptying their own containers into the designated tank. Facility personnel would transfer batteries and paint from customer vehicles to the II-39 storage building on a cart. Batteries would be packed onto pallets and placed in a storage area designed to contain corrosive spills and flammable-gas buildup. The latex paint would be bulked (consolidated into 55-gallon drums). Used oil and antifreeze would be picked up approxirnately every two weeks. Batteries would be stored for a maximum of one year before being removed from the site by a battery recycler. Paint would be sent off-site for reprocessing and the returned paint - could be used for civic projects. On the basis of per-capita use of the City of San Francisco's household hazardous waste collection facility, the Central Facility household hazardous waste facility potentially could collect approximately 1,300 gallons of paint, 2,500 gallons of oil, 140 gallons of antifreeze, and 70 car batteries each year (Richmond Sanitary Service, 1990). ADMINISTRATION AND VISITORS BUILDING This facility,located in the southwest corner of the site,would be approximately 6,600 square feet in area, and 18 feet in height. The building would provide office space and work areas for IRRF Central Facility administration and management personnel, conference rooms, and storage and equipment rooms. The building would serve as an arrival point and educational center for visitors to the site. TRUCK WASH FACILITY AND VEHICLE FUELING STATION The truck wash facility, located in the southeast comer of the property, would be approximately 2,550 square feet in area, and 24 feet in height. Transfer vehicles and in-station equipment would be cleaned by automatic spray-wash and -rinse devices, as well as manual devices. A fueling station would be adjacent to the truck-wash facility, and would be used by the transfer vehicles. Richmond Sanitary Service collection vehicles would be fueled and maintained at the Richmond Sanitary Service Corporation Yard, which exists at the site of the current Interum Recycling Facility on Parr Boulevard. I1-40 COVERED CONTAINER STORAGE AREAS Recovered materials are to be stored in roll-off containers in a canopied structure area along the north property line. The structure would be approximately 30 feet high, and would contain approximately one week's accumulation of recyclables. PARKING AREAS AND CIRCULATION As noted in Section II-B, almost all vehicles would use the entrance at the intersection of Pittsburg Avenue and Central Street. Circulation patterns and parking areas are depicted in Figure 1I-3. The inbound roadway along the western edge of the site would consist of two inbound lanes: one for queuing waste delivery trucks to the scale house, and one for traffic to the administration building. Curbside collection and self-haul vehicles would use the two-lane roadway to the east of the truck-access.roadway, queue in separate lanes, and proceed to the appropriate area. A separate parking lot enclosed by a chainlink fence is to be provided for IRRF Central Facility employees working in the main processing building, maintenance area, truck-wash area, fueling'station, and scale houses. These employees would enter the lot from Third Street and exit to the same street. All other traffic would exit the site at the Pittsburg Avenue /Central Street intersection. Transfer vehicles and tractors (to remove roll-off containers and transfer trailers) would be the only WESTCORR commercial vehicles parked at the Central Facility. The transfer vehicles would park alongside the north end of the main building. Two other parking lots would be provided near the administration building for visitors and administrative personnel. LANDSCAPING AND FENCING As part of the project, Richmond Sanitary Service would landscape open-space areas throughout the Central Facility site. The proposed landscape plan for the Central Facility site is depicted in Figure II-9. The design includes grass areas, native trees, and earth berms. I1-41 . LL O 'U u o 3 W es y c Arx' �•y 1 i i Il_42 S A six-foot-high berm is to be located along the southern border of the site. The berm would serve as a visual and acoustic barrier between site operations and the residential neighborhood of North Richmond. The site has two existing groves of mature trees, located in the southwest comer of the site and along the eastern property line. Construction of the truck road and the administration and visitors building would require the removal of 4 or 5 trees. Non-native evergreen trees would be used to provide visual and noise screening. The site would be enclosed by chain-link or cyclone fencing. ENVIRONMENTAL CONTROLS Fire Fire-suppression equipment, including fire hydrants, fire-hose reels,portable extinguishers, and smoke detectors, is incorporated into the IRRF Central Facility design. The waste-receiving and -processing building would be equipped with a pre-action dry-type sprinkler system. The household-hazardous-waste facility would have fire-suppression equipment, designed specifically for the hazardous wastes contained in a given area of the building. Local fire and building safety personnel would have final approval of the fire-suppression, ventilating, and spill-containment design. Odor All waste is to be unloaded within the main processing building. Pursuant to BAAQMD's Authority to Construct, storage time for wastes at the facility could be restricted to 24 hours. This would minimize odor buildup from potential decomposition. Dust All access and on-site roads and parking areas within the site would be paved. The design of the main processing building incorporates a baghouse-type dust-collection system (located adjacent to the compactor area). The system would have 1T-43 dust-collection points.at conveyor-transfer points and at wood-shredder discharge • points. Tlie picking stations are designed as enclosed, environmentally conditioned units. Workers would wear dust protective masks as needed. Floors, walls, and equipment would be cleaned regularly. Litter The site is to be fenced, helping to contain any wind-blown litter. Designated employees would be required to collect any litter that accumulates at the site on a daily basis. Vectors The waste-handling areas within the main building would be cleaned routinely . If required, a professional pest-control company would be contracted to control rodents and other.vectors. Noise Sources of noise generation at the IRRF Central Facility would include vehicular traffic and waste-handling operations within the main processing building. Because the intense levels of activity would generate high noise levels, several noise-reducing measures would be implemented. The main building is to be constructed with sound-absorbing building materials, certain pieces of equipment would be equipped with mufflers, and operations expected to generate high levels of noise would be 1vnited to daytime hours. Pursuant to OSHA standards, workers in areas with high noise levels would be required to wear ear protection devices. A noise berm would be constructed along the southern edge of the Central Facility to reduce noise experienced at residences south of the site. Evergreen trees and landscaping would also be used to attenuate noise. TT-411 • Drawing 1.

PHASING OF CPF IMPROVEMENTS, STAGE I A. INTRODUCTION In December 1991 WCRR began to look at ways of providing a more.cost effective facility and process to meet the mandated requirements of AB 939. Utilizing the IRRF program as outlined in the EIR, hereinafter referred to as "Tile Master Plan", a program of phasing the components of the IRRF was discussed with WCCIWMA in February and May 1992. WCRR developed and formally presented a phased plan to the WCCIWMA Board on June 11, 1992. Brown and Caldwell Inc. (B&C) assisted the WCCIWMA in the Master Plan evaluation. Both the Master Plan and evaluation proposed that the IRRF be developed in two increments. IRRF design and program direction are provided in 92-7 adopted by WCCIWMA on June 11, 1992. This application uses the design parameters for the IRRF contained'in 92-7 as reviewed by WCCR's design firm HDR, Inc. The WCRR service area's existing source reduction and recycling efforts are currently diverting at least 7% according to 92-7. AB 939 requires 25% diversion by 1995 and 50% by year 2000 including existing source reduction. The IRRF plan as shown in the EIR will be constructed iii stages to divert 18% of the waste being disposed to meet the 1995 mandated goal. Staging will reduce the initial cost and insure that a cost effective and efficient facility is built now and in meeting the year 2000 goal of 50% diversion. In Stage I with a targeted diversion rate of 18% the IRRF will consist of facilities located at the CPF, IRC and WCCSL/PF. The CPF with its transfer station capability is the major component of the IRRF Master Plan. The IRRF is planned to assist in meeting the 50% diversion goal by the year 2000. Stage I of the CPF will provide the Waste Transfer component and waste recovery components to assist in meeting the 1995 diversion goal of 25%. That portion of the CPF constructed in Stage I is planned for expansion in Stage II to meet the 50% diversion goal in year 2000 and complete the ® facility shown in Figure II-3, Page II-13 of the Project Description. LUP82.2R 9 Plans for implementation of Stage I are shown on the following drawings and the component table below compares the EIR Master Plan project with Stage I: Drawing 9.

In each material category the average tons per day based on 5 days per week, denoted TPD5 was established for commercial, residential and self-haul waste generation. Each process system for residential waste, commercial waste and self-haul waste is described below. CENTRAL PROCESSING FACILITY STAGE I Residential, other than source separated curbside collected material, Commercial and Industrial waste will be delivered to the CPF. Some commercial yard waste; bulk materials of asphalt, concrete and soil; concentrated loads of wood; and self-haul residential yard waste will be directed to WCCSL. Other than the bulk materials the organics will be prepared and used as mulch and/or compost. A portion of the commercial waste is expected to be relatively clean select loads from commercial establishments. Select loads of OCC and office ledger are assumed to be "clean" and will be loaded directly onto the baler feed conveyor. Tipping floor sorted OCC and ledger paper will be stock piled then processed over the sorting conveyor. Floor sorted wood and yard waste will be loaded into roll-off containers. 'Tile wood and yard waste will be sent to WCCSL for shredding, when necessary, and then be composted or used as mulch. It is estimated that about 36,000 TPY (1 40 TPD5) of commercial mixed waste will be processed on the commercial picking line to achieve the targeted diversion goal. Pickers on the sorting line will target OCC and kraft, newsprint, high-grade computer and office ledger, and wood waste. One pair of chutes and the corresponding bunker are reserved as a spare to provide WCRR flexibility in picker positioning or to target additional material. A ferrous magnet at the end of the line will capture the ferrous and bi-metal. Tile conveyor that carries residue back to the transfer tip floor will be reversible allowing the flexibility of a negative sort of mixed paper LUP82.2R 13 when needed. The sorting line is estimated to recover about 7,800 TPY (30 TPD5). The wood picked will be deposited into a roll off box and hauled to WCCSL for shredding and composting. The paper, OCC and kraft will fall into storage bins and then be pushed onto the baler feed conveyor and then baled. Less than 700 TPY (2.7 TPD5) of source separated commercial waste are currently delivered directly to the IRC for processing on the curbside line. These include loads of OCC, ledger paper, mixed paper and glass. With the CPF in operation only the glass will be delivered to the IRC. At the Central Processing Facility, deliveries of source separated commercial paper will be stockpiled by the baler feed conveyor and baled when sufficient material has been accumulated. 92-7 assumed the CPF would process 15,000 TPY (58 TPD5) of commercial waste diverting 12,000 TPY (46 TPD5). The assumption was also made that 8,100 TPY (31 TPD5), see Exhibit B of 92-7, of commercial waste would arrive at the CPF as source separated paper. Therefore, Sthe balance, 3,900 TPY (15 TPD5), would be mixed Commercial Waste. WCRR believes the - assumptions are extraordinarily high regarding source separated paper. Based on WCRR's experience with commercial source separated waste received at the IRC we believe that 36,000 TPY (138 TPD5) rather than the 15,000 TPY, shown in Exhibit C of 92-7 will be processed on the commercial sort line. Programs to encourage or mandate source separation of commercial waste may require modification of the existing collection franchises, consideration of preferential pricing for selected wastes, and a detailed analysis of program costs and ramifications. As more source separation occurs modifications to staffing will take place reflecting cleaner loads being delivered and therefore greater processing efficiency. The system employed in Stage 1 is very low-tech allowing for maximum flexibility and cost effective future upgrading. To meet the 25% diversion goal, the CPF will add a residential waste sorting line to recover co- Iscollected yard waste from non-recyclable residential waste. Residential waste not collected in 1UP82.2R 14 - the curbside program will be transported directly to the CPF and unloaded onto the tipping floor. A front-end loader would coarsely push aside bagged yard waste and the remaining waste will be pushed into top-loaded transfer trailers and transported to the landfill for disposal. Studies were undertaken to determine transfer hopper and off-loading location and position in i the building and on the site to insure Phase I could be implemented consist with the ETR. Three options were considered 180 degree (parallel), 45 degree (angled) and 90 degree (cross-wise) trailer placement each with the future possibility of a compactor being installed. The 90 degree trailer placement was judged best from an overall cost, operational, and site usage viewpoint. Additional studies for Stage I building sizing and bagged yard waste recovery were developed. Six possible approaches to recover yard waste and size of facility were investigated. The overall building size varied from 59,190 square feet to 68,060 square feet with a tip floor variance from 43,530 square feet to 52,620 square feet The system shown in Drawings 10 and 11 was recommended by HDR and adopted by WCRR. The green waste will be pushed from the tipping floor onto the green waste conveyor by a skip loader. The green waste conveyor runs parallel to the picking conveyor. The picked green waste is dumped directly into a roll-off truck. The rejects are loaded onto the commercial reject conveyor and dumped back onto the tipping floor. This approach positively sorts green waste which results in a cleaner product than the negative sort study. This method also offers direct loading of the green waste into a roll-off truck, reducing handling time of the roll-off containers. A de-bagging system is being considered, the cost and efficiency of location, CPF or WCCSL, remains to be finalized. The green waste quantity used in these approaches was 8,360 TPY derived from Brown and Caldwell's mass balance and presented in 92-7. This quantity is assumed as an annual average.

This is a 30 mile trip one-way with an assumed travel time one-way of one hour and ten minutes. Table 6 lists rolling stock to.be used and stationary equipment to be installed at the CPF. Table 6 assumes the use of top loading trailers with no tamping, and a payload of 20 tons. Also, trucks bound for Keller Landfill must observe the constraints of no trucks leaving the landfill before 8:30 am or after 3:30 pm. It is reported that top loading transfer trailer payloads of 20 tons without tamping are being delivered from the Acme Transfer Station. However, space to install tamping cranes (pedestal boom units) to account for future waste stream density variations has been provided. LUP82.2R 22 COVERED CONTAINER STORAGE AREA Permanent covered storage will be added in the future along the north property line as shown b g P P Y on The Master Plan site plan drawing. The "shed" measures 445' x 30', 40 to 45 roll-off containers, 8' wide and spaced 10' on center can be accommodated. PARKING The ultimate parking required as shown on the Master Plan Site Plan, Drawing 1, provides 143 parking spaces for transfer and process employees off of 3rd Street and 32 parking spaces for administration employees and visitors located in the southwest corner of the site. The Stage I Site Plan and Landscape Plan, Drawing 12, consolidates the parking into a temporary location, more central and convenient given the reduced size and site positioning of the Stage I building and offices. Stage I provides 78 on-site parking spaces for employees and visitors. Major access to the 'employee and visitor parking, during Stage I, will be through the Pittsburg/Central main , entryway. The slight increase in employee auto traffic directed into the site during Stage I will be off-set by the reduction of traffic associated with the IRC which will remain off-site during Stage I. The amount of and circulation pattern of on-site traffic at the CPF, during Stage I, will . be less than anticipated and planned for in the Master Planned project shown on Drawing 1 and studied as part of the project EIR.

A public hearing is scheduled before the Board on June 22 , 1993. Proposed Conditions for the permits reflect initial drafts by Staff, revisions recommended by the Planning Commission, and subsequent changes proposed by Staff. Some of the new changes are intended to reflect the recent contract between the County and the West Contra Costa Integrated Waste Management Authority (the "JPA") . The applicants generally accept the Conditions as submitted to the Board, except as discussed below. 8UXXARY 1. The permittee cannot guarantee that 25% (or 504) of all waste entering the Central Processing Facility will be diverted from landfills. The facility is not designed to most that goal. Much will depend on the amount of rocyclables in trash received. 2. The County cannot require the permittee to build a drainage line that is not needed to serve the project at all. 3. The County cannot charge the full Drainage Area fee plus require construction of oversized drain lines. The cost of drainage improvements should offset fees. Reimbursement for building excess drainage capacity should be allowed. 4. The Bulk Material Processing Center should not be subject to heavy County regulation. It will operate like many other private industries processing old conprrete, asphalt and wood waste for reuse. \oar QOI\T%m 06-21-1993 13:28 15102221714 NORRIS & NORRIS P.03 Board of Supervisors June 21, 1993 Page 2 CZNTAAL PROCESSING FACILITY (LUP 2053-92) Mandato ry Diversion peragntages- Condition 19.1 requires that the permittee divert from landfills 25% of the waste received at the CFF pot after January 1, 2000) . The permittee cannot guarantee what percent of total incoming trash will be recycled. This condition must be deleted. Performance of the CPF will depend on how much recyclable material each load of trash contains. Some communities will be operating very successful recycling programs and will deliver waste with less recyclable resource left to extract. Financial constraints on construction and staffing will make these goals difficult to achieve. The JPA has specified that the permittee design and build the first phase to achieve a diversion goal for the IRRF system-wide of 188 (the JPA assumes that local recycling identified in the SRRE will satisfy the remaining 78) . The permittee will cooperate with local agencies to help achieve their state-mandated overall goals of 258 and 504 diversion. That will require a combination of CPF material extraction and recycling programs in each community. Drainage I rovesmAt&, Condition 24. 13 requires the permittee to pay fees for Drainage Area 19A. The permittee must satisfy standards for conveying CPF storm water (see Condition 24.4) . The applicants do not question these two obligations. However, Condition 24.3 also requires the permittee to build Drainage Lines A and C to serve all of Area 19A. There are two . problems with this condition. 1. Line A Not Aelatgd to Project. The applicants expect that all drainage from the CPF will flow west, along the route planned for Line C. Although Line A runs along the eastern boundary of the site, it is not needed at all to handle project drainage. This is supported by the Public Works Department Drainage Area 19A Hydrology May dated 1988. Therefore, it is not reasonable to require the permittee to install Line A as part of the project, unless it actually is �pocwooaaoo���se 06-21-1993 13:29 15102221714 NORRIS & NORRIS P.04 b Board of supervisors June 21, 1993 Page 3 needed to serve the CPF. Condition 24.3 should be amended to delete the requirement to install Line A. 2. was offast„and Reimbursement are Owed. Line C can be used to convey project drainage, but it will be such larger than needed to serve the CPF alone. we recognize that it would be inefficient to install a more basic drainage system now and replace it later with a full-sized Line C. However, these conditions impose excessive costs. The County must allow the permittee to offset Drainage Area 19A fees against the added cost of oversizing Area 19A Line C. The County also must allow the permittee to recoup excess costs as other properties develop, through the Area 19A Reimbursement Program. staff claims the County may require the permittee to install oversized drainage lines and also pay the full Drainage Area fee without offset. Staff also refuses to commit to a reimbursement agreement for the excess capacity permittee will build. These requirements amount to double taxation and violate the nexus limitation. Conditions must relate to and not exceed the burdens created by a project. Condition 24.13 should be revised by adding the following: "These fees shall be reduced by •roenditures undConditign„2J.2 in exoess of costs required to satisfy Condition a4_i x The County shall enter into a reimburs�me aorSIMgat_xith germittes through the.

The BMPC will not receive any financing through the JPA, and materials will not come to the BMPC through franchise agreements with JPA members. The Planning Commission deleted several proposed conditions. staff is asking the Board to restore those conditions. We urge the Board to follow the Commission's recommendations. a. Price esttinar. The County should not set prices for this business under the guise of "rate regulation" (Original Condition 6.15) . The decision whether and how such to charge for receiving concrete, asphalt and wood must be left to the permittee and market forces. b. Regglatory lee. The $.75 per ton regulatory fee (Original Condition 6.17) is not appropriate, is not needed for any environmental mitigation, and is not imposed on other similar businesses with which the BMPC will be competing. This fee will discourage recycling. o. Red riots s o; ori ia. The County should not restrict where As comes from (Original condition 9) . No other business operates under such a limitation. This Condition can be deleted without new CEPA review. The BIR mitigates impacts by limiting the amount of material allowed on-site at any one time; this effectively controls both the number of trucks coming to the BMPC and processing activity. Receiving materials from further away will not cause any significant new circulation or other impacts not already evaluated by the RIR. Such deliveries will replace rather than add to shipments from within the primary service area. If vehicles do come from farther away, their limited number and scattered travel routes will not be sufficient to cause new congestion not already covered by the SIR. This is not a significant change in the project. The BIR is adequate to allow approving the project without this Condition. d. Kitiva iu Fee: The $2.00 per ton "Host Community Mitigation Fee" (Original Condition 6.16) should not be imposed at the BMPC. First, the SIR did not identify any unmitigated impacts from the BMPC warranting this additional fee. Second, charging such a fee will discourage use of the BMPC and frustrate the County's goal of recycling concrete, asphalt and wood waste.

The $MPC will not produce such residual waste needing landfill. However, the County still should not attempt to impose minimum diversion goals (Original Condition 16) . This condition is not appropriate for a business that is not a regulated solid waste facility. gLgall ,angines.

This wording parallels the identical provision already included in Condition 11.6. We will be available at the Board's hearing on June 21 to discuss these matters and answer any questions.

MEMORANDUM Date: June 17 , 1993 From: Rosemary & Ralph Fonseca To: Board of Supervisors Subject: West County Integrated Resource Recovery Facillity North Richmond Area By this written form we protest the use of the unincorporated area of North Richmond for the Central Processing Facility . As homeowners we struggle to bring pride to our neighborhood. A solid waste recovery facility would further deter other homeowners into the area. North Richmond is a socially neglected area, that is. used primordially for political weight . What North Richmond needs is to be cleaned up, not dumped into. It needs local training facilities , more investment in helping local people help themselves . A library perhaps .
