Project Description and Analysis The City of Newport Beach plans to change the permitted operational hours of an existing refuse transfer station operated by the City of Newport Beach, General Services Department. The facility is currently permitted to operate Monday through Friday 6:30AM to 4:OOPM and Saturday from 7:30 AM to 1:00 PM. The proposed project is a change to the permitted hours and days of operation to expand Saturday operations from 7:OOAM to 4:30PM and add Sunday operations from 7:00 am to 11:00 am. The existing transfer facility was established in 1988 and the City prepared and adopted a Mitigated Negative Declaration SCH No. 1988022404. In 1990, the City made additional operational changes to the facility and increased the allowable daily permitted tonnage from 75 to 300 tons per day.The City prepared a Mitigated Negative Declaration SCH No. 1990010863. In both environmental documents, the use analyzed was to operate Monday through Saturday between 7:OOAM to 3:30PM. In 1998, the City curtailed the hours on Saturday by reducing the permitted hours from 7:30 AM to 1:00 PM and changed the hours during the week to 6:30AM to 4:OOPM. A Notice of Exemption was filed on October 9, 1998 for this change. Re-establishing operations on Saturday was previously reviewed and found to have a less than significant impact to the environment (MND 1988 & 1990).The predominately commercial and industrial area within which the facility is located has not substantively changed since the adoption of the previous environmental documents, and therefore, the City concludes that the previous environmental documents adequately disclose and mitigate all potential environmental impacts to a less than significant level with the continued implementation of the mitigation measures previously identified. The proposed additional itt hours on occasional Sundays,limit to a maximum of 15 days per calendar year, will not increase the number of trash collection vehicles transporting waste to the facility and will not increase the capacity of the facility. Sunday operations will be used exclusively to transfer waste delivered to the facility on Saturdays that could not be transferred out of the facility on that Saturday. The project does not include expanding refuse collection to Sunday. Instead, Sunday operations will allow Transfer Station personnel to make up for hours or days lost as a result of holidays work schedules and allow increased collection schedules on Saturdays during the summer months while maintaining the 300 ton per day limit, 6 days per week. The 1-acre transfer station is located within the City's Corporation Yard, which is an 8.2-acre site located in an industrial area designated for such uses by the City's General Plan and Zoning Code. The site is fully developed and is not located in close proximity to any environmentally sensitive resources or sensitive land uses. No physical construction is required to implement the project. The nearest residential unit to the transfer station is located over 450 feet away. State Route 55, a six lane highway, separates the transfer station from the nearest residential unit and acts as a sound barrier to mask any noise generated from the transfer station. In addition,a wall of mature Eucalyptus trees blocks the view of the transfer station from the public view from State Route 55. Other nearby uses includes office buildings, light industrial uses, retail uses and a fast food restaurant. Finally, the hours proposed are similar to other commercial uses in the vicinity of the project that are not regulated. Due the factors described above, the additional hours of operation on Saturdays and additional Sunday operation will not have a significant impact to the environment and qualifies for a categorical exemption pursuant to Section 15301 (Existing Facilities) of the Implementing Guidelines of the California Environmental Quality Act. o�a „b CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH 3300 Newport Boulevard-P.O.Box 1768 - Newport Beach,CA 92658.8915 (949)644-3200 �tlpoRN NOTICE OF EXEMPTION To: From: City of Newport Beach ❑ Office of Planning and Research Planning Department 1400 Tenth Street,Room 121 3300 Newport Boulevard-P.O.Box 1768 Sacramento,CA 95814 Newport Beach,CA 92658-8915 (Orange County) County Clerk,County of Orange ❑X Public Services Division P.O.Box 238 Date received for filing at OPR: Santa Ana,CA 92702 Name of Project: Newport Beach Solid Waste Transfer Facility Project Location: Superior Avenue at Industrial Way, Newport Beach, CA Specific: 592 Superior Avenue Project Location-City: Newport Beach Project Location-County: Orange Project Description: See attached Recorded in Official Records, County of Orange Tom Daly, Clerk-Recorder Exempt Status: (check one) IIIIIIIIIIillllllllllllllllllllllllllillll IIIIIIIIII IIIIIIIIIINo FEE Ministerial(Sec. 21080(b)(1);15268); 90 29 Z01 200385000585 02:57pm 05108/03 Declared Emergency(Sec.21080(b)(3); 15269(a)); 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 Emergency Project(Sec.21080(b)(4); 15269(b)(c); X Categorical Exemption.

Does the project have the potential to achieve short-term, to the disadvantage of long-term, environmental goals? (A short-term impact oil the environment is one which occurs in a rela- tively brief, definitive period of time while long-term impacts will endure well into the X future.) _ c. Does the project have impacts which are individually limited, but cumulatively con- siderable? (A project may impact on two or more separate resources where the impact on each resource is relatively small, but where the effect of the total of those impacts on X the environment is significant.) d. Does the project have environmental effects which will cause substantial adverse effects on human beings, either directly or indirectly?_ .� III. Discussion of Environmental Evaluation (Narrative description of environmental impacts.) IV. Determination On the basis of this initial evaluation: I find t the proposed NOT have a nt a effect on the project environment, nda NEGATIVE DECLARATION nWILL aBE PREPARED. I find that although the proposed project could have a signif- icant effect on the environment, there will not be a significant effect in this case because the mitigation measures described Q on an attached sheet have been added to the project. X A NEGATIVE DECLARATION WILL BE PREPARED' I find the proposed project MAX have a significant effect on the environment, and an ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT is required. Q Signature Dat For C\PLT\EIRLIST.FRM I D&SSION OF ENVIRONMENTAL EVALUAON PROJECT LOCATION AND DESCRIPTION The City of Newport Beach maintains a Corporate Yard at 592 Superior Avenue. • This 8.2 acre site is used to park, dispatch, service and repair city vehicles and equipment. There are also areas for production of signs, storage of supplies, vehicle painting, newspaper recycling, etc. Access into the Corporate Yard is available from: Superior from Pacific Coast Highway; Superior from Newport Boulevard (State Highway 55) ; and Superior from Industrial Way. The City wishes to expand the operation of the refuse transfer station from the present permit levels of 75 tons per day to 300 tons per day to facilitate the consolidation of waste for transport to a recycling facility. This proposed action requires a request for revision of the existing waste facility permit. The City collects all residential refuse as well as public waste from the few areas where only the City has access and where large commercial trucks are unable to negotiate the narrow access routes. This refuse is now being transported to the County of Orange Bee Canyon Sanitary Landfill, a distance of over 25 miles round trip. A portion of the refuse, up to 75 tons per day, is being consolidated from 4 to 5 small refuse packer loads into single tractor-trailer loads, thereby decreasing truck trips per day over area roads. The remaining refuse, which varies from 25 to 75 tons per day, is being transported by larger refuse collection vehicles. This proposal is not based on an increase in collected refuse, but rather is necessary to more efficiently consolidate refuse loads for transport to the recycling facility. , . , . The refuse transfer station would continue to operate 6 days per week between the hours of 7 am to 3:30 pm. The tractor-trailer loads would be transported to a Materials Recovery Facility (MRF) in Stanton where the City has entered into a contract -that guarantees that 25% of all refuse will be recycled. By consolidating the loads in tractor-trailer combinations, truck traffic over public streets will be significantly decreased,. . ENVIRONMENTAL CONCERNS This project is not aritidipated to result in irreversible " environmental changes.. Following is jan, expanded discussion of the Environmental Checklist Form 'responses as they relate to the expan�ion of the operation of the refuse transfer station at the existing Corporate Yard in Newport Beach. " Items on the checklist marked "no" are explained by virtue of ,the fact that the Corporate Yard and the refuse transfer facility exist, and the proposed change is one of operational characteristics rather than a physical change in the facilities. 15. Energy (a) (a) . The proposed project modification will result in a decrease in the use of fuel or energy. Because of the shorter haul distance involved in transporting the refuse to the Materials Recovery Facility at Stanton vice the present destination of Bee Canyon Landfill, less fuel will be required. Waste will be hauled in larger vehicles, which will further result in a decrease in fuel consumption. 17. Human Health (a-b) (a, b) . The project will serve to localize refuse collection operations which could have potential health implications. The waste will be contained except when it is dumped from the packer truck through the hopper into the transfer trailer. Rodents should not cause a problem since vehicles are closed and located off the ground. This increased activity will not significantly increase the potential for health hazards. i i MITIGATION MEASURES 1. Station design and operational procedures eliminate the possibility of contaminated runoff (i.e., that has touched the refuse) flowing into surface waters. 2. Lighting is directed toward site operations only, to reduce additional light and glare 'surrounding the facility.. 3. Curbside refuse screening limits the potential for hazardous wastes to enter the transfer•ststion. I 4. There will be no additional vehicl2 traffic on' Newport Boulevard associated with the proposed project. 5. The transfer trailers will be covered to eliminate the potential for wind blown refuse, and reduce dust and odor impacts. 6. AB 939 and AS 1820 dictate the recycling of at .least 25% and 50% of refuse by the years 1995 and 2000. respectively. The increase in the daily permit level will facilitate the consolidation of small refuse loads into tractor-trailer loads destined for the materials recovery facility. Mitigation Monitoring Mitigation Measures 1, 2, and 4 are inherent features of the project, and do not require monitoring. Mitigation Measures 3 and 5 require the maintenance of work rules and procedures for refuse workers, and is the responsibility of the General Services Director. Mitigation Measure 6 shall be monitored via semi-annual and annual State mandated reports verifying that a minimum of 25% of the collected refuse is recycled. , REPORT OF STATION INFORMATION INTRODUCTION September 4, 1990 section 17441 of Title 14 of the California Administrative Code requires that a Report of Station Information be prepared for both existing and proposed transfer stations. This report describes the operation of the existing transfer station and recycling facility operated by the City of Newport Beach. SECTION 1: PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS Figure 1 is a site location map showing the City Yard, surrounding streets, nearby utilities, and adjacent land uses. Figure 2 is a site plan of .the Yard showing the existing transfer station and newspaper recycling facility. Figure 3 is a schematic cross section of the transfer station showing one of the hoppers which direct the waste into the top of a transfer trailer. SECTION 2: ENGINEERING REPORT PRESENT FACILITY AND OPERATIONS The City of Newport Beach has a .,permanent population of approximately 71,000. The annual generation of trash was estimated to be 40,000 to 45,000 tons from 1980 through 1985. Actual weighing of trash began in May 1986. During FY 87-88, 88-89, and 89-90, the City collected an average of 35,500 tons of residential solid waste. Future disposal over the next 2 years is estimated to reach 36,000 tons annually as further City development occurs. These figures are all exclusive of beach cleaning wastes which vary widely according to weather conditions. The City Refuse Division has a staff of 36 employees and operates ten 1-man and twelve 2-man loadpacker trucks on its collection routes. The smaller, 2-man vehicles are better suited for maneuevering on the narrow streets and alleys found in some parts of the City. The 1-man vehicles have a greater capacity and are more economical for longer hauls. The City collects the majority of the residential trash, as well as public waste from the few areas where only the City has access, such as beaches, parks, and at the end of piers. The City also collects trash in bags and cans from schools, churches, and 402 small businesses, including small grocery stores and motels, where large commercial trucks are unable to negotiate narrow access routes. The remainder of all the commercial waste is collected by private haulers. The City currently operates a refuse transfer station and a recycling facility at its 8.2 acre Corporation Yard located at 592 Superior Avenue in Newport Beach. Since 1972, this Yard has been the collection point for beach, street, and park debris from throughout the City. The current transfer station consists of a loading ramp and 2 hoppers which facilitate the overhead loading of the transfer trailer. All waste or recycled newspaper is consolidated into larger loads and hauled by packer truck or dump truck to the Bee Canyon Landfill or recycling broker respectively. ,r \ ,f.�r„Jf '� + � i > -^ Park•.•u I-.:� - .•.,p all, TrPai kf M37:Ib °+• •-Hch,� 4 �,� [,..�—..^,y rH= u rho_ -L .•,yifb 1;�• •`> (U`Stf` :.i[ ad; wr ' s . ��yy{{ a: , ,'4.r oodl&t(•l a4hia�•r o •a a '�r �.

DUMPING AREA NOT TO SCACE FIGURE 3 In addition, the station at present also acts as a recycling facility for about 250 tons of newspaper per month. Residents set out newspapers twice each month on a rotating neighborhood basis, and the papers are collected by City packer trucks. The facility consists of a loading dock for two drop boxes. The collected newspapers are unloaded into two drop boxes at the Yard, then hauled to a recycled materials dealer. Excluding beach waste and recycled newpapers, trash is hauled directly to the Bee Canyon Landfill. Commencing fall of 1990, all collected refuse will be transported by tractor-trailer combinations and large one-man packers to a Materials Recovery Facility (MRF) in Stanton, CA. The City has signed a 10 year contract with the MRF operator who will guarantee a minimum of 25% recycling. By consolidating more loads through the expanded use of the transfer station, the daily truck trips will be reduced and more efficient refuse handling will be achieved. The City currently expects to collect some 36,000 tons per year. Based on the City's collection schedule of 6 days per week and collection of beach wastes on 12 summer Saturdays, this equates to a projected peak daily load of 185 to 300 tons. Of this quantity, some 135 to 225 tons per day will be hauled directly to the Material Recovery Facility by tractor-trailer combinations. The remaining 50 to 75 tons per day, collected in the 1-man loadpackers, will be I delivered directly to the MRF. The state permit to operate this facility was issued February 8, 1989. 'The City has been operating the transfer station since March, 1990. The operation of the facility was found to be consistent with the County Solid Waste Management Plan and was so noted by an amendment to the COSWMP. This facility is zoned Commercial C-2 and found to be consistent with the City General Plan. NATURE OF WASTES The majority of the wastes received by the proposed facility will be municipal solid wastes collected from residential neighborhoods by City vehicles. A small amount of commercial waste will be picked up from small businesses, churches, schools, City facilities, beaches, parks, and public areas where commercial truck access is limited by narrow streets on specific collection routes. Small amounts of waste will also be collected where the City has exclusive access, such as waste containers at the end of piers. SECTION 3: STATEMENT OF OPERATIONS The current and projected operations of the transfer station and recycling facility were described in general terms in Section 2 above. Items a. through g. , as required in the permit application instructions, are discussed below: a. Hours of station operation: The transfer station and recycling facility will operate 6 days per week, Monday through Saturday from 7 A.M. to 3:30 P.M. 2 b. Employee sanitary facilities: Locker, shower, and restroom facilities are provided for employees in the Administration Building some 550 feet from the transfer and recycling facilities. A restroom is also located in the Equipment Maintenance Facility. These facilities are supplied by City water mains. C. Climatic conditions: Temperature and precipitation data are presented in tabular form below. Wind speed at the Newport Beach site averages 6.3 knots in speed and varies West to Northwest in direction. TEMP (F) PREC (IN.) JAN 53.9 2.27 FEB 55.0 2.53 MARCH 56.6 1.71 APRIL 59.0 1.18 MAY 61.7 0.20 JUNE 64.4 0.08 JULY 67.4 0.01 AUG 68.2 0.07 SEPT 66.7 0.18 OCT 63.2 0.45 NOV 58.9 1,01 DEC 55.6 2:18 d. Salvaging: At present, City staff salvage scrap metal generated by City repair shops located at the City Yard. This material is sold to local scrap dealers. At present, there is no handsorting of aluminum, glass, or metal cans at the site for the purpose of salvaging or recycling. The majority of this material is removed from the waste stream from the beach area by scavengers. The City collects newspapers twice a month from each residence serviced by City collection vehicles. Papers are stored in two drop boxes at the station, then sold to a local paper dealer. e. Noise: The existing facility is located in an industrial area. The nearest residence is approximately 1000 feet away. No noise complaints have been reported in association with the current facility operations. The site is situated between Superior Avenue, a major thoroughfare, and State Highway 55; traffic from these two arterials tends to mask any noise from packer trucks and transfer trailers. At present, the ten 1-man loadpackers leave and return to the Yard once a day. The twelve 2-man packers average two round trips from the Yard each day, dumping their wastes at the transfer station or the newspaper recycling facility. In the future, the ten 1-man packers will haul directly to the MRF and return to the Yard at the end of the day. The two transfer-tractor trailer vehicles will make an average of 4 trips per day each to the MRF. This totals approximately 42 entrances and exits per day. This represents a decrease from the originally estimated 74 entrances or exits per day (noted in the original Report of Station Information dated September,1988) , which will significantly reduce noise levels. Some additional noise will be generated by the packers as they unload into the transfer trailers. However, it should be noted that the industrial surroundings and the nearby highways will tend to mask any noises generated by the transfer station. 3 f. Special wastes: The entire waste stream will be municipal solid waste obtained from residential sources and the few public areas from which the city collects waste. No septic tank pumpings nor sewage sludge will be accepted at this site. Very small quantities of dead animals (i.e. household pets) are to be expected to be found in typical residential wastes. These animals are now, and will continue to be removed from the waste stream and disposed of under the direction of City animal control personnel. Thus, no new special handling methods are proposed for these types of wastes. g. Hazardous wastes: Typically the transfer station may accidentally receive some hazardous waste constituents from small-quantity generators and households. Small-quantity generators primarily represent small businesses which traditionally are ,part of the municipal solid waste stream. Households also generate hazardous wastes, such as pesticides, paints, crankcase oil, and lead batteries. Studies have been conducted at other waste management facilities throughout the United States indicating that quantities of these materials in the solid waste stream are insignificant (less than 1 percent) . At present, City staff visually screen residential waste at curbside ; for the presence of hazardous wastes. If found, the container is marked with a red label and left at the curb for the resident to dispose of properly at one of the Orange County hazardous waste collection centers. This policy is expected to continue as part of the expanded operations. Any hazardous wastes which escape detection by collection personnel should not have a significant adverse impact either at the transfer station or at the landfill. A definitive City hazardous materials handling policy is contained in the Standard Operating Procedures for the transfer station. Very briefly, it requires the transfer station operator to summon the City Fire Department Hazardous Materials Disposal Unit to the scene to identify and release the waste or to properly dispose of it through outside contractor assistance. SECTION 4: SCHEMATIC DRAWINGS Figure 1 is a site location map showing the City Yard, surrounding streets, nearby utilities, and adjacent land uses. Figure 2 is a site plan of the Yard showing the existing transfer station and recycling center. Figure 3 is a cross section of the transfer station. SECTION 5: LITTER AND VECTOR CONTROL; DURATION OF WASTE STORAGE; EMERGENCIES; NOISE CONTROL; FIRE SUPPRESSION; DUST CONTROL The packer trucks dump directly into metal hoppers which guide the waste from the packer truck into the transfer trailer. This arrangement minimizes the amount of litter. Top screens, mounted on the trailers, will minimize the amount of windblown litter while the trailers are traveling between the transfer station and the Materials Recovery Facility. The area beneath the hoppers will be swept, with an on site street sweeper, when the trailers are in transit. 4 In general, municipal solid waste will not be stored at the transfer station for more than a few hours at a time, since at least 8 loaded transfer trailers will be hauled to the MRF per day. In the worst case scenario, waste may be stored overnight in the collection vehicles. This material will be deposited in the transfer trailers the next morning for removal to the MRF. Rodents should not be a problem in either case. The design of the transfer station is extremely simple. No power, other than convenience outlets and lighting, is required. Each transfer trailer has its own hydraulic power and on board scale system. If the tractors should both break down, an agreement has been made that MRF vehicles will pick up the refuse and haul it to the MRF on a temporary basis. Routine maintenance and lubrication is scheduled for weekends, and it is unlikely that the trailers will require any major emergency repair. The City is currently prepared to change and replace tires, either on the road or in the Yard. No special noise control measures are warranted, as the site is located in an industrial area with significant traffic noise for adjacent roadways. No new equipment will be required to expand current recycling and collection operations. Modified operations are not expected to increase noise levels significantly. in addition, equipment utilized at the station will meet current noise requirements. The station noise level is not expected to result in any medical problems. Fire suppression will be provided by readily accessible hose bibs and fire hoses, which can also be used for washing down the hoppers,: transfer trailer parking area, and tipping area. A electronic fire detection system conveys alarms by phone directly to the police station. Dust is not likely to be a problem, since it is suppressed by spraying the waste with water from the fire hoses during loading operations when necessary. SECTION 6: TRANSFER EQUIPMENT Transfer equipment consists of two truck tractors and three 120 cubic yard trailers. Each trailer is capable of hauling approximately 20 tons of refuse. The trailers are the self-unloading type, using hydraulically operated "walking floor" mechanisms. Waste is dumped through the two fixed steel hoppers into the top of the trailers. Newspapers will continue to be stored in the two existing 40 cubic yard drop boxes until MRF operations commence at which time separate newspaper collection will cease. Auxiliary transfer station equipment includes a street sweeper, a backhoe, and a skiploader. SECTION 7: DESIGN CAPACITY The transfer station is designed to store up to 40 tons of residential refuse at one time, when both trailers are in place. In addition, the existing drop boxes, with a total capacity of 80 cubic yards, will be I retained for storage of recycled newpapers. 5 The station is expected to normally handle an average of 135 to 225 tons of waste per day. The average annual load capacity is estimated to be 36,000 tons over the next 5 years. Minimal amounts may be handled on Saturdays to include beach wastes or wastes collected to make up for lack of collection on holidays. The facility could easily handle 300 tons of waste per day if the need develops. SECTION 8: PEAK LOADINGS It is not anticipated that the transfer station will experience unusual peak loadings, since the waste stream is derived from residential sources. There will be some seasonal fluctuations which are estimated to vary peak loadings from 185 to 300 tons per day. For example, yard wastes peak during the spring and fall garden cleanup periods, while packaging wastes tend to peak after the Christmas holidays. However, these should not cause any operational problems since adequate additional personnel or equipment is available. Therefore, no provisions are required for handling unusual peak loadings. SECTION 9: RESIDUES AND ASHES The transfer station is not expected to receive any nonrecoverable nor nonmarketable residues nor ashes, with the exception of ashes from residential fireplaces and woodstoves. The latter will constitute an extremely small portion of the waste volume. Similarly, the transfer station does not expect to receive significant volumes of household hazardous wastes, due to the visual screening procedures carried out by collection route staff. This procedure is described in paragraph 3g. above. SECTION 10: PROCESS WATER/WASTEWATER Process water will consist of vehicle and transfer station area washdown. Vehicle washdown water should not increase significantly since no new vehicles will be added to the existing fleet. This wastewater will be removed utilizing the existing drain system of the vehicle washrack, located elsewhere in City Yard. A Class II wastewater discharge permit for transfer station operations dated January 24, 1990 and issued by Orange County Sanitation District is submitted as Attachment A. Area washdown for housekeeping purposes will use about 10 to 15 gallons of water per minute, for a duration of 15 to 30 minutes a day. This water will be drained to the existing sewer through an approved 1500 gallon, 3 compartment clarifier which is cleaned weekly by a City vactor truck. SECTION ll: MANAGEMENT ORGANIZATION STATION OWNERSHIP The City Yard is an 8.2 acre facility wholly owned by the City of Newport Beach. The transfer station and recycling facility utilizes about a 100 ft x 100 ft area in the northeast quadrant of the Yard. The City owns and ope rates the entire facility. No outside waste (collected by other entities) will be handled. 6 OWNER'S SOLID WASTE EXPERIENCE The City has managed solid waste operations for over 30 years, including collection, recycling, and disposal. The existing transfer station and recycling facility has been operating at this site for 5 months as of August, 1990. TASKS, FUNCTIONS, AND OBJECTIVES The City's Refuse Division provides weekly refuse collection at curbside or alley for the majority of City residential areas and some businesses. This includes approximately 55,000 permanent residents, 27,500 dwelling units, and 402 business establishments, schools, and churches, as well as all City operated facilities. The adjustment of routes, the more efficient use of manpower and equipment, the maintaining of excellent public relations, and driver training and safety are continued objectives of the Refuse Division. The primary objective, however, for the City solid waste management team will be the implimentation of AB 939 and AB 1820, particularly meeting the initial goal of 25% recycling. The expansion of the transfer station operating capacity will be the key to consolidating loads to the Materials Recovery Facility.

Please read the entire permit to understand your permit limitations, conditions, responsibilities, and what are the Districts enforcement actions. A11 industrial and commercia•1 users in the area served by the County Sanitation Districts of Orange County presently pay a tax to the Districts through a portion of their property taxes. In many cases, the tax rate is sufficient to cover the actual costs borne by the Districts to construct, operate, and maintain the sewers, pump stations, and treatment works that serve each user. Any user whose ad valorem taxes are insufficient to cover these cost are required to pay a sewer use fee. 9 The cost of treating wastewater is computed by determinin 'the quantity and strength of the discharge and multiplying by applicable charge rate. The ad valorem tax is credited against this cost. If the tax is insufficient to cover- the costs for sewage conveyance and treatment, then the deficit is charged to the user. Billing is through a quarterly estimated invoice which must be paid within 45 days to avoid a penalty. A final reconciliation will be done at the end of the fiscal year using the information submitted by your company. If the information is not received, the Districts will extrapolate water usage data, use 5 percent or the standard industrial rate for water loss in computing the final reconciliation, and use only secured taxes to compute tax credits:.

(A short-term impact on the environment is bne which occurs in a rela- tively brief, definitive period of time while long-term impacts will endure well into the X future.) — '- C. Does the project have impacts which are individually limited, but cumulatively con- siderable? (A project may impact on two or more separate resources where the impact on each resource is relatively small, but where the effect of the total of those impacts on X the environment is significant.) — d. Does the project have environmental effects which will cause substantial adverse effects on human beings, either directly or indirectly?_ III. Discussion of Environmental Evaluation (Narrative description of environmental impacts.) IV. Determination On the basis of this initial evaluation: I find that the proposed project COULD NOT have a significant effect on the environment, and a NEGATIVE DECLARATION WILL BE PREPARED. I find that although the proposed project could have a signif- icant effect on the environment, there will not be a significant effect in this case because the mitigation measures described on an attached sheet have been added to the project. A NEGATIVE DECLARATION WILL BE PREPARED. I find the proposed project MAY have a significant effect on the environment, and an ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT is required. Dat Signature C\PLT\EIRLIST.FRM For r D14RUSSION OF ENVIRONMENTAL EVALUA N PROJECT LOCATION AND DESCRIPTION The City of Newport Beach maintains a Corporate Yard at 592 Superior Avenue. This 8.2 acre site is used to park, dispatch, service and repair city vehicles and equipment. There are also areas for production of signs, storage of supplies, vehicle painting, newspaper recycling, etc. Access into the Corporate Yard is available from: Superior from Pacific Coast Highway; Superior from Newport Boulevard (State Highway 55) ; and Superior from Industrial Way. The City wishes to expand the operation of the refuse transfer station from the present permit levels of 75 tons per day to 300 tons per day to facilitate the consolidation of waste for transport to a recycling facility. This proposed action requires a request for revision of the existing waste facility permit. The City collects all residential refuse as well as public waste from the few areas where only the City has access and where large commercial trucks are unable to negotiate the narrow access routes. This refuse is now being transported to the County of Orange Bee Canyon Sanitary Landfill, a distance of over 25 miles round trip. A portion of the refuse, up to 75 tons per day, is being consolidated from 4 to 5 small refuse packer loads into single tractor-trailer loads, thereby decreasing truck trips per day over area roads. The remaining refuse, which varies from 25 to 75 tons per day, is being transported by larger refuse collection vehicles. This proposal is not based on an increase in collected refuse, but rather is necessary to more efficiently consolidate refuse loads for transport to the recycling facility. The refuse transfer station would continue to operate 6 days per week between the hours of 7 am to 3:30 pm. The tractor-trailer loads would be transported to a Materials Recovery Facility (MRF) in Stanton where the City has entered into a contract that guarantees that 25% of all refuse will be recycled. By consolidating the loads in tractor-trailer combinations, truck traffic over public streets will be significantly decreased,. , ENVIRONMENTAL CONCERNS This project is not aritidipated to result in irreversible environmental changes.. Following is ian, expanded discussion of the Environmental Checklist Form responses as they relate to the expan ion of the operation of the refuse transfer station at the existing Corporate Yard in Newport Beach. " Items on the checklist marked "no" are explained by virtue of -the fact that the Corporate Yard and the refuse transfer facility exist, and the proposed change is one of operational characteristics rather than a physical change in the facilities. 15. Energy (a) (a) . The proposed project modification will result in a decrease in the use of fuel or energy. Because of the shorter haul distance involved in transporting the refuse to the Materials Recovery Facility at Stanton vice the present destination of Bee Canyon Landfill, less fuel will be required. Waste will be hauled in larger vehicles, which will further result in a decrease in fuel consumption. 17. Human Health (a-b) (a, b) . The project will serve to localize refuse collection operations which could have potential health implications. The waste will be contained except when it is dumped from the packer truck through the hopper into the transfer trailer. Rodents should not cause a problem since vehicles are closed and located off the ground. This increased activity will not significantly increase the potential for health hazards. IaZ MITIGATION MEASURES 1. Station design and operational procedures eliminate the possibility of contaminated runoff (i.e. , that has touched the refuse) flowing into surface waters. 2. Lighting is directed toward site operations only, to reduce additional light and glare •surrounding the facility. ,. 3. Curbside refuse screening limits the potential for hazardous wastes to enter the transfer•station. I 4. There will be no additional vehicl16 traffic onlNewport Boulevard associated with the proposed project. 5. The transfer trailers will be covered to eliminate the potential for wind blown refuse, and reduce dust and odor impacts. 6. AB 939 and AB 1820 dictate the recycling of at .least 25% and 50% of refuse by the years 1995 and 2Q00, respectively. The increase in the daily permit level will facilitate the consolidation of small refuse loads into tractor-trailer loads destined for the materials recovery facility. _Mitigation Monitoring g Mitigation Measures 1, 2, and 4 are inherent features of the project, and do not require monitoring. Mitigation Measures 3 and 5 require the maintenance of work rules and procedures for refuse workers, and is the responsibility of the General Services Director. Mitigation Measure 6 shall be monitored via semi-annual and annual State mandated reports verifying that a minimum of 25% of the collected refuse is recycled. REPORT OF STATION INFORMATION INTRODUCTION September 4, 1990 Section 17441 of Title 14 of the California Administrative Code requires that a Report of Station Information be prepared for both existing and proposed transfer stations. This report describes the operation of the existing transfer station and recycling facility operated by the City of Newport Beach. SECTION 1: PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS Figure 1 is a site location map showing the City Yard, surrounding streets, nearby utilities, and adjacent land uses. Figure 2 is a site plan of the Yard showing the existing transfer station and newspaper recycling facility. Figure 3 is a schematic cross section of the transfer station showing one of the hoppers which direct the waste into the top of a transfer trailer. SECTION 2: ENGINEERING REPORT PRESENT FACILITY AND OPERATIONS The City of Newport Beach has a permanent population of approximately 71,000. The annual generation of trash was estimated to be 40,000 to 45,000 tons from 1980 through 1985. Actual weighing of trash began in May 1986. During FY 87-88, 88-89, and 89-90, the City collected an average of 35,500 tons of residential solid waste. Future disposal over the next 2 years is estimated to reach 36,000 tons annually as further City development occurs. These figures are all exclusive of beach cleaning wastes which vary widely according to weather conditions. The City Refuse Division has a staff of 36 employees and operates ten 1-man and twelve 2-man loadpacker trucks on its collection routes. The smaller, 2-man vehicles are better suited for maneuevering on the narrow streets and alleys found in some parts of the City. The 1-man vehicles have a greater capacity and are more economical for longer hauls. The City collects the majority of the residential trash, as well as public waste from the few areas where only the City has access, such as beaches, parks, and at the end of piers. The City also collects trash in bags and cans from schools, churches, and 402 small businesses, including small grocery stores and motels, where large commercial trucks are unable to negotiate narrow access routes. The remainder of all the commercial waste is collected by private haulers. The City currently operates a refuse transfer station and a recycling facility at its 8.2 acre Corporation Yard located at 592 Superior Avenue in Newport Beach. Since 1972, this Yard has been the collection point for beach, street, and park debris from throughout the City. The current transfer station consists of a loading ramp and 2 hoppers which facilitate the overhead loading of the transfer trailer. All waste or recycled newspaper is consolidated into larger loads and hauled by packer truck or dump truck to the Bee Canyon Landfill or recycling broker respectively. r ' • • Res a .I•;i�li��' SJ3 _ I � I l(•---�,' —:He ab °s \ 1, Tral r ••gch: 1 j I• ': I I !

Residents set out newspapers twice each month on a rotating neighborhood basis, and the papers are collected by City packer trucks. The facility consists of a loading dock for two drop boxes. The collected newspapers are unloaded into two drop boxes at the Yard, then hauled to a recycled materials dealer. Excluding beach waste and recycled newpapers, trash is hauled directly to the Bee Canyon Landfill. Commencing fall of 1990, all collected refuse will be transported by tractor-trailer combinations and large one-man packers to a Materials Recovery Facility (MRF) in Stanton, CA. The City has signed a 10 year contract with the MRF operator who will guarantee a minimum of 25% recycling. By consolidating more loads through the expanded use of the transfer station, the daily truck trips will be reduced and more efficient refuse handling will be achieved. The City currently expects to collect some 36,000 tons per year. Based on the City's collection schedule of 6 days per week and collection of beach wastes on 12 summer Saturdays, this equates to a projected peak daily load of 185 to 300 tons. Of this quantity, some 135 to 225 tons per day will be hauled directly to the Material Recovery Facility by tractor-trailer combinations. The remaining 50 to 75 tons per day, collected in the 1-man loadpackers, will be delivered directly to the MRF. The state permit to operate this facility was issued February 8, 1989. The City has been operating the transfer station since March, 1990. The operation of the facility was found to be consistent with the County Solid Waste Management Plan and was so noted by an amendment to the COSWMP. This facility is zoned Commercial C-2 and found to be consistent with the City General Plan. NATURE OF WASTES The majority of the wastes received by the proposed facility will be municipal solid wastes collected from residential neighborhoods by City vehicles. A small amount of commercial waste will be picked up from small businesses, churches, schools, City facilities, beaches, parks, and public areas where commercial truck access is limited by narrow streets on specific collection routes. Small amounts of waste will also be collected where the City has exclusive access, such as waste containers at the end of piers. SECTION 3: STATEMENT OF OPERATIONS The current and projected operations of the transfer station and recycling facility were described in general terms in Section 2 above. Items a. through g. , as required in the permit application instructions, are discussed below: a. Hours of station operation: The transfer station and recycling facility will operate 6 days per week, Monday through Saturday from 7 A.M. to 3:30 P.M. 2 b. Employee sanitary facilities: Locker, shower, and restroom facilities are provided for employees in the Administration Building some 550 feet from the transfer and recycling facilities. A restroom is also located in the Equipment Maintenance Facility. These facilities are supplied by City water mains. C. Climatic conditions: Temperature and precipitation data are presented in tabular form below. Wind speed at the Newport Beach site averages 6.3 knots in speed and varies West to Northwest in direction. TEMP (F) PREC (IN.) JAN 53.9 2.27 FEB 55.0 2.53 MARCH 56.6 1.71 APRIL 59.0 1.18 MAY 61.7 0.20 JUNE 64.4 0.08 JULY 67.4 0.01 AUG 68.2 0.07 SEPT 66.7 0.18 OCT 63.2 0.45 NOV 58.9 1.01 DEC 55.6 2.18 d. Salvaging: At present, City staff salvage scrap metal generated by City repair shops located at the City Yard. This material is sold to local scrap dealers. At present, there is no handsorting of aluminum, glass, or metal cans at the site for the purpose of salvaging or recycling. The majority of this material is removed from the waste stream from the beach area by scavengers. The City collects newspapers twice a month from each residence serviced by City collection vehicles. Papers are stored in two drop boxes at the station, then sold to a local paper dealer. e. Noise: The existing facility is located in an industrial area. The nearest residence is approximately 1000 feet away. No noise complaints have been reported in association with the current facility operations. The site is situated between Superior Avenue, a major thoroughfare, and State Highway 55; traffic from these two arterials tends to mask any noise from packer trucks and transfer trailers. At present, the ten 1-man loadpackers leave and return to the Yard once a day. The twelve 2-man packers average two round trips from the Yard each day, dumping their wastes at the transfer station or the newspaper recycling facility. In the future, the ten 1-man packers will haul directly to the MRF and return to the Yard at the end of the day. The two transfer-tractor trailer vehicles will make an average of 4 trips per day each to the MRF. This represents alsdecreaximately 42 se from the entrances and exits per day. re P originally estimated 74 entrances or exits per day (noted in the original Report of Station Information dated September,1988) , which will significantly reduce noise levels. Some additional noise will be generated by the packers as they unload into the transfer trailers. However, it should be noted that the industrial surroundings and the nearby highways will tend to mask any noises generated by the transfer station. 3 f. Special wastes: The entire waste stream will be municipal solid waste obtained from residential sources and the few public areas from which the city collects waste. No septic tank pumpings nor sewage sludge will be accepted at this site. Very small quantities of dead animals (i.e. household pets) are to be expected to be found in typical residential wastes. These animals are now, and will continue to be removed from the waste stream and disposed of under the direction of City animal control personnel. Thus, no new special handling methods are proposed for these types of wastes. g. Hazardous wastes: Typically the transfer station may accidentally receive some hazardous waste constituents from small-quantity generators and households. Small=quantity generators primarily represent small businesses which traditionally are part of the municipal solid waste stream. Households also generate hazardous wastes, such as pesticides, paints, crankcase oil, and lead batteries. Studies have been conducted at other waste management facilities throughout the United States indicating that quantities of these materials in the solid waste stream are insignificant (less than 1 percent) . At present, City staff visually screen residential waste at curbside for the presence of hazardous wastes. If found, the container is marked with a red label and left at the curb for the resident to dispose of properly at one of the Orange County hazardous waste collection centers. This policy is expected to continue as part of the expanded operations. Any hazardous wastes which escape detection by collection personnel should not have a significant adverse impact either at the transfer station or at the landfill. A definitive City hazardous materials handling policy is contained in the Standard Operating Procedures for the transfer station. Very briefly, it requires the transfer station operator to summon the City Fire Department Hazardous Materials Disposal Unit to the scene to identify and release the waste or to properly dispose of it through outside contractor assistance. SECTION 4: SCHEMATIC DRAWINGS Figure 1 is a site location map showing the City Yard, surrounding streets, nearby utilities, and adjacent land uses. Figure 2 is a site plan of the Yard showing the existing transfer station and recycling center. Figure 3 is a cross section of the transfer station. SECTION 5: LITTER AND VECTOR CONTROL; DURATION OF WASTE STORAGE; EMERGENCIES; NOISE CONTROL; FIRE SUPPRESSION; DUST CONTROL The packer trucks dump directly into metal hoppers which guide the waste from the packer truck into the transfer trailer. This arrangement minimizes the amount of litter. Top screens, mounted on the trailers, will minimize the amount of windblown litter while the trailers are traveling between the transfer station and the Materials Recovery Facility. The area beneath the hoppers will be swept, with an on site street sweeper, when the trailers are in transit. 4 In general, municipal solid waste will not be stored at the transfer station for more than a 'few hours at a time, since at least 8 loaded transfer trailers will be hauled to the MRF per day. In the worst case scenario, waste may be stored overnight in the collection vehicles. This material will be deposited in the transfer trailers the next morning for removal to the MRF. Rodents should not be a problem in either case. I The design of the transfer station is extremely simple. , No power, other than convenience outlets and lighting, is required. Each transfer trailer has its own hydraulic power and on board scale system. If the tractors should both break down, an agreement has been made that MRF vehicles will pick up the refuse and haul it to the MRF on a temporary basis. Routine maintenance and lubrication is scheduled for weekends, and it is unlikely that the trailers will require any major emergency repair. The City is currently prepared to change and replace tires, either on the road or in the Yard. No special noise control measures are warranted, as the site is located in an industrial area with significant traffic noise for adjacent roadways. No new equipment will be required to expand current recycling and collection operations. Modified operations are not expected to increase noise levels significantly. In addition, equipment utilized at the station will meet current noise requirements. The station noise level is not expected to result in any medical problems. Fire suppression will be provided by readily accessible hose bibs and fire hoses, which can also be used for washing down the hoppers, transfer trailer parking area, and tipping area. A electronic fire detection system conveys alarms by phone directly to the police station. Dust is not likely to be a problem, since it is suppressed by spraying the waste with water from the fire hoses during loading operations when necessary. SECTION 6: TRANSFER EQUIPMENT Transfer equipment consists of two truck tractors and three 120' cubic yard trailers. Each trailer is capable of hauling approximately ,20 tons of refuse. The trailers are the self-unloading type, using hydraulically operated "walking floor" mechanisms. Waste is dumped through .the two fixed steel hoppers into the top of the trailers. Newspapers will continue to be stored in the two existing 40 cubic yard drop boxes until MRF operations commence at which time separate newspaper collection will cease. Auxiliary transfer station equipment includes a street sweeper, a backhoe, and a skiploader. SECTION 7: DESIGN CAPACITY The transfer station is designed to store up to 40 tons of residential refuse at one time, when both trailers are in place. In addition, the existing drop boxes, with a total capacity of 80 cubic yards, will be retained for storage of recycled newpapers. 5 The station is expected to normally handle an average of 135 to 225 tons of waste per day. The average annual load capacity is estimated to be 36,000 tons over the next 5 years. Minimal amounts may be handled on Saturdays to include beach wastes or wastes collected to make up for lack of collection on holidays. The facility could easily handle 300 tons of waste per day if the need develops. SECTION 8: PEAK LOADINGS It is not anticipated that the transfer station will experience unusual peak loadings, since the waste stream is derived from residential sources. There will be some seasonal fluctuations which are estimated to vary peak loadings from 185 to 300 tons per day. For example, yard wastes peak during the spring and fall garden cleanup periods, while packaging wastes tend to peak after the Christmas holidays. However, these should not cause any operational problems since adequate additional personnel or equipment is available. Therefore, no provisions are required for handling unusual peak loadings. SECTION 9: RESIDUES AND ASHES The transfer station is not expected to receive any nonrecoverable nor nonmarketable residues nor ashes, with the exception of ashes from residential fireplaces and woodstoves. The latter will constitute an extremely small portion of the waste volume. Similarly, the transfer station does not expect to receive significant volumes of household hazardous wastes, due to the visual screening procedures carried out by collection route staff. This procedure is described in paragraph 3g. above. SECTION 10: PROCESS WATER/WASTEWATER Process water will consist of vehicle and transfer station area washdown. vehicle washdown water should not increase significantly since no new vehicles will be added to the existing fleet. This wastewater will be removed utilizing the existing drain system of the vehicle washrack, located elsewhere in City Yard. A Class II wastewater discharge permit for transfer station operations dated January 24, 1990 and issued by Orange County Sanitation District is submitted as Attachment A. Area washdown for housekeeping purposes will use about 10 to 15 gallons of water per minute, for a duration of 15 to 30 minutes a day. This water will be drained to the existing sewer through an approved 1500 gallon, 3 compartment clarifier which is cleaned weekly by a City vactor truck. SECTION 11: MANAGEMENT ORGANIZATION STATION OWNERSHIP The City Yard is an 8.2 acre facility wholly owned by the City of Newport Beach. The transfer station and recycling facility utilizes about a 100 ft x 100 ft area in the northeast quadrant of the Yard. The City owns and operates the entire facility. No outside waste (collected by other entities) will be handled. 6 �.3 OWNER'S SOLID WASTE EXPERIENCE The City has managed solid waste operations for over 30 years, including collection, recycling, and disposal. The existing transfer station and recycling facility has been operating at this site for 5 months as of August, 1990. TASKS, FUNCTIONS, AND OBJECTIVES The City's Refuse Division provides weekly refuse collection at curbside or alley for the majority of City residential areas and some businesses. This includes approximately 55-,000 permanent residents, 27,500 dwelling units, and 402 business establishments, schools, and churches, as well as all City operated facilities. The adjustment of routes, the more efficient use of manpower and equipment, the maintaining of excellent public relations, and driver training and safety are continued objectives of the Refuse Division. The primary objective, however, for the City solid waste management team will be the implimentation of AS 939 and AB 1820, particularly meeting the initial goal of 25% recycling. The expansion of the transfer station operating capacity will be the key to consolidating loads to the Materials Recovery Facility.

Box 1768 Newport Beach, CA. 92659-1768 From Vcalhn D. Smith, Manager Planning Division C LIFORNIA INTEGRATED WASTE MANAGEMENT BOARD subject: SCH #90010863 , Negative Declaration (ND) , City of Newport Beach Refuse Transfer Facility - Change in operational Characteristics. Staff of the California Integrated Waste Management Board has reviewed the above document• and offer the following comments: PROJECT DESCRIPTION The City of Newport Beach is requesting a revision of their existing solid waste facility permit to expand the operation of the refuse transfer station from the permitted level of 75 tons per day to 300 tons per day. ,-7fiig .equest would facilitate the consolidation of waste 4�ransport., to the Materials Recovery Facility (MRF) in StantoI Page 2 The project description further states that the request for an increase in collected solid waste is necessary to more efficiently consolidate refuse loads for transport to the recycling facility in Stanton, and by consolidating the loads in tractor-trailer combinations, truck traffic over public streets will significantly decrease. Since the transfer station is currently permitted to handle 75 tons per day, and the ' request for permit revision to handle 300 tons per day will increase permitted daily tonnage by 300%, it is unclear how this proposed project will not be based on an increase in collected waste. Currently, a portion of city collected refuse (up to 75 tons per day) is being consolidated from 4 to 5 small refuse packer loads to single- tractor-trailer loads. The remaining refuse, which varies from• 25. to 75 tons per day, is being transported by larger refuse- collection vehicles. Assuming that the maximum amount of refuse, from both the single tractor-trailer loads and the larger collection vehicles, is collected and transported these amounts would exceed the current permitted. levels. The� Report of Station Information (RSI) attached to the ND states that this facility operates as, a refuse transfer station and .a recycling facility. It further states that all waste or recycled newspaper is consolidated at the facility, then hauled to either the- Bee Canyon Landfill or a recycling broker. Page 2 of the RSI' further states that commencing fall of 1990, all collected refuse will be transported via tractor-trailer combinations and large one-man packers to the Materials Recovery Facility (MRF) in Stanton. Since the city of Newport Beach has contracted services with the MRF in Stanton, will all wastes currently collected by the city utilize this transfer station prior to transport to the MRF? Environmental concerns Environmental impacts are not considered significant since the proposed changes are considered operational in nature. However, given a 30016 increase in the amount of permitted waste to be accepted at the facility, cumulative impacts could potentially arise. The potential impacts identified in the initial study are: noise, traffic patterns/circulation, and odor. These issues are not considered to be significant, as previously stated, and the project will employ appropriate mitigation measures to assure that any impacts associated with the project are reduced to a level of insignificance. a Page 3 The ND has stated that a decrease in number of truck trips per day will result because of the consolidation of waste from smaller vehicles to large tractor-trailer combinations. Noise impacts are not anticipated with the increased tonnage, since the existing facility is located in an industrial area, and the nearest residence is 1000 feet away. Furthermore, no noise complaints have been reported in association with the current facility operations. The RSI adequately describes current facility operations and procedures to 'assure: facility maintenance, control of vectors, aesthetics, and general health and safety of employees and surrounding residents. The handling of waste, upon entering facility is also adequate. Tasks, Functions, and Objectives As. stated on page 7 of the RSI, the expansion of the transfer station operating capacity will be key to consolidating loads for transport to the MRF. Since the proposed project is requesting a- permit revision from 75 tons per day to 300 tons per day, will the current facility be able to accommodate the increased tonnage. Will physical changes to the current facility be required? Thank you for the opportunity to review this document.

Smith of the California Integrated Waste Management Board have been reviewed with the following responses: A. The question of whether the refuse transfer station increased daily capacity proposal was actually based on an increase in collected waste was posed. Response - The refuse collected by the City of Newport Beach has been decreasing in tonnage each year since 1983 (44,700 tons) to 1989 (34,325 tons) . This has been a result of a more aggressive City recycling program and an increase in source reduction by citizens. The increased proposed daily tonnage for the transfer station will permit the consolidation of all collected loads into- tractor-trailer loads and provide for a future increase in refuse as the City will be annexing large adjacent areas within 2 years. By requesting a 300 ton daily limit, there will be no need to request yet another increase in daily tonnage when this area is annexed. In retrospect, the original requested daily tonnage of 75 tons was much too conservative. B. The Board questioned whether all refuse collected by the City would be consolidated at the transfer station prior to transport to the MRF? Response - The intent of requesting the higher daily tonnage level is to allow the City to consolidate all refuse at the transfer station whenever operationally feasible. There may be certain conditions such as traffic congestion, roadway construction, etc. that would negate the efficient consolidation of loads on occasion. C. The Board noted that "cumulative impacts could potentially arise" as a result of the 300% increase in daily tonnage. Response - As the Board notes this is only a possibility. If such a situation develops the City will utilize appropriate mitigation measures. D. The Board questions whether the current facility can accommodate the increased tonnage and if any physical alterations will be required. Response - The current facility can easily accommodate 300 tons per day according to operational tests conducted during the summer months of 1990. No physical alteration nor additional equipment will be required to operate at the higher level. David E.
