CHAPTER 2

SUMMARY

The Project consists of proposed Bulk Materials Processing Center (BMPC) land use permit amendment changes and related actions. Project activities provide for expanded resource recovery operations, a vertical expansion of the Class II landfill, and shoreline access. This chapter provides a summary of the proposed Project component, the environmental analyses that were conducted, and the Project alternatives that were considered.

A. PROJECT COMPONENTS

The West Contra Costa Sanitary Landfill (WCCSL) is a 340-acre site which borders San Pablo Bay and is located in the North Richmond area. West County Landfill, Inc. (Applicant) owns the property and the operator is WCCSL, Inc. The northern portion of the WCCSL is located within the unincorporated Contra Costa County (County) area and the southern portion is within the Richmond City (City) limits. Solid waste disposal operations at the WCCSL began in 1952. Over the years, operational changes have occurred as new regulations, permits, and recycling operations have been implemented. Currently, solid waste management facilities at the WCCSL include a Class II municipal solid waste landfill, a Waste Shuttle Facility, and a BMPC which includes composting, concrete/asphalt processing, and wood waste processing. For purposes of this Environmental Impact Report (EIR), the Project consists of the Applicant’s proposed amendments to their existing BMPC use permits and related actions. 1. Use Permit Changes Use permits were issued in 1993 for the existing BMPC by the County (Land Use Permit [LUP] No. 2054-92, as amended by LUP 2043-94) and the City (Conditional Use Permit [CUP] No. 92-53). Proposed use permit changes can be summarized as follows:

Increase in the amount and type of compostibles processed.

Increase in the amount of concrete and asphalt rubble processed.

Adaptive use of the former Soil Remediation Building for operation of a Waste Recycling Center (WRC) that will allow for recycling of wastes from self haulers, and industrial boxes and other commercial customers.

Soil remediation program and wet/powdery material processing.

Biosolids and dredged materials processing and disposal. a. Composting. The Applicant is currently permitted to compost 10,000 tons per year of green materials using the windrow composting process. The proposed Composting Facility changes include expansion of the amount of materials processed, the handling of additional types of organic (feedstock) materials, and the ability to operate the Composting Facility in both the County and City areas. It is proposed that 164,300 tons of compostibles be processed per year. The new types of materials to be processed include food wastes, biosolids (wastewater sludge), mixed waste paper, and agricultural residues. The Applicant has allocated 20 acres for the Composting Facility, with a flexible boundary that could increase the area to 40 acres based upon market demands and needs. Finished compost may be sold to either the general public or to wholesalers, or used at the WCCSL for various purposes. b. Concrete/Asphalt Processing. The existing WCCSL BMPC Concrete/Asphalt Crushing Facility currently processes about 125,000 tons per year of concrete and asphalt. The primary changes to the current permits for the facility are to increase the amount of material processed to 528,000 tons per year, to relocate this facility to the western plateau of the landfill’s central ridge such that the majority of the operation would be located in the City and a portion of it within the County, and remove restriction on wet weather processing or storage of asphalt. As with the Composting Facility, the boundary of the facility would be flexible which would result in the physical area varying from 15 to 30 acres. Processed materials may be sold to either the general public or to wholesalers. c. Waste Recycling Center. The Applicant proposes to construct a new Waste Recycling Center (WRC) that would replace the existing Waste Shuttle Facility. The WRC would have two components: an organic materials processing area on the landfill’s central plateau with separate subareas for receipt of green waste, wood waste, food waste, agricultural waste, biosolids, mixed waste paper, and soil; and a mixed waste processing area which would provide for processing and removal of recyclables and a transfer vehicle loadout area. The existing Soil Remediation Building located within the County would be rehabilitated and expanded to accommodate the WRC mixed waste processing area. The WRC Mixed Waste Processing Area would have a design capacity of 1,000 tons per day, averaged over a 7-day period (TPD7) and would accommodate 365,000 tons of mixed waste per year. d. Wet/Dusty Material Blending. Blending of wet/dusty materials at the BMPC would be a new activity. This process involves receiving high-moisture-content muds and sludge and blending them in containers with waste soil or dusty wastes. The blended materials could be used at the WCCSL for alternative daily cover or for final cover. About 51,100 tons per year of materials would be processed. This Wet/Dusty Material Blending Facility would be located within the City at the existing Waste Shuttle Facility and anticipated by the Applicant to be composed of existing cargo containers with a flat truss roof.

e. Wood Recovery. The Wood Recovery Facility is an existing activity at the BMPC. It is primarily a stockpiling and loadout operation. Operations would continue to occur within the Organic Materials Processing Area. The facility is currently within the City, but may expand into the County. The Wood Recovery Facility currently processes about 30,000 tons per year and this would be expanded to 131,400 tons per year under the proposed Project. Material would be shredded and products can be used in the composting process, used as boiler fuel, or as landscaping and erosion control mulch. f. Soil Reclamation. Soil reclamation would be a new activity at the BMPC. It would involve the reclamation of non-contaminated soils in an area adjacent to the composting and wood waste recovery operations. The soils are currently delivered daily to the WCCSL site and used as landfill cover material. About 195,000 tons of soil would be processed annually. g. Biosolids/Dredged Material Spreading. This operation would involve the spreading of wet dredged materials and/or biosolids (wastewater sludge) from the adjacent West County Wastewater District (WCWD) treatment plant on the southern or eastern sideslopes of the closed landfill. Layers of materials would be spread down the sideslopes and dried by wind and sunlight. The Applicant projects that 50,000 tons of these materials could be accommodated annually. h. Changes in Facility Operating Hours. The proposed Project includes changes in facility operating hours as follows:

Action Change in operation

Equipment maintenance From: Monday-Saturday, 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. To: Monday-Saturday, 5 a.m. to 10 p.m.

Transporting of BMPC materials From: Daily, 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. To: Daily, 24 hour

Concrete/asphalt processing From: Monday-Saturday, 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. To: Monday-Saturday, 5 a.m. to 12 a.m.

Chipping and grinding of wood From: Daily, 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. To: Daily, 5 a.m. to 12 a.m.

WRC operations From: not now included To: Daily, 24 hour

Transporting materials to and from the BMPC and WRC operations on a daily basis, 24 hours per day, would be consistent with existing landfill operations where materials are allowed to be transported on this schedule.

2. Related Actions Related actions requiring California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) review include the Class II landfill height increase and the Public Access Trail. a. Class II Landfill Height Increase. Between November 1996 and June 2001, the top of waste fill at the final cap area located near the center of the landfill central plateau settled or subsided about 15 feet. This greater-than-anticipated settlement created a depressed area on the landfill. If left uncorrected, continuing anticipated settlement may result in the top of the landfill cratering and forming a depressed area that would not drain properly. To correct this problem, the Applicant has been removing the final cap and placing additional fill which would allow the foundation layer, barrier layer, and top landfill cover to be placed at the correct elevation and slope. Currently the Class II landfill is permitted to a maximum elevation (top of waste) of 130 feet above mean sea level (msl). The proposed Project would increase the maximum elevation (top of waste) to 160 feet msl to accommodate future settlement and provide for proper drainage. The implementation of the grading plan would result in an east-west ridgeline that generally would range between elevations 110 and 160 feet msl. Overlying the 160-foot elevation on the central plateau would be 7 feet of soil layer consisting of 4 feet of final cover required by State regulations and 3 feet of residual soil. This layer would protect the final cover and allow many BMPC operations to occur on top of the central plateau. b. Public Access Trail. The concept of a Public Access Trail (Trail) surrounding the WCCSL has been envisioned for many years and has been the subject of considerable planning efforts by the Applicant, interested organizations, and local agencies. While segments of the Trail have been considered in previous CEQA documents, most of the currently proposed Phase 1 alignment has not, and none of the total alignment has been addressed in the context of other proposed Project components. Most of the Phase 2, 3, and 4 alignments were considered in the North Richmond Shoreline Specific Plan EIR.6

The Trail would be implemented in four phases and would generally follow existing levee roads that form the outer edge of the WCCSL property. Improvements associated with the development of the Trail include a parking area, a compacted gravel surface, fencing and access controls, appropriate signage and interpretive aids, bench and rest areas, and restroom facilities. The currently proposed development schedule is as follows:

Trail segment Projected opening datePhase 1 December 1, 2003 Phase 2 December 1, 2004 Phase 3 December 1, 2007 Phase 4 9 months after securing funding

B. ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS

This EIR presents an analysis of the environmental effects of the proposed Project. Individual issue areas are considered in Chapters 4 through 12. This section summarizes the analysis that was conducted. 1. Areas of Known Controversy CEQA Guidelines Section 15123 requires an EIR to identify areas of controversy known to the lead agency, including issues raised by other agencies and the public. There are several areas of known controversy for this EIR. Several of these are depicted in letters resulting from the EIR Notice of Preparation (NOP) process which are included in Appendix 1D. The areas of controversy include questions whether development of a second waste recycling/transfer station in the North Richmond area is appropriate, the need to subject the Trail to additional CEQA review, and concerns of the State Department of Fish and Game (DFG) regarding certain components of the Trail. a. Waste Recycling/Transfer Station. The Integrated Resource Recovery Facility, Central Processing Facility (Central IRRF), is located about 1 mile form the WCCSL between Third Street and Central Avenue. It began operation in 1993 and is permitted to accept up to 1,200 TPD of franchised and commercial waste. Operations include a materials recovery facility, transfer station, a public buyback center, and household hazardous waste collection facility. It has been anticipated that once the Class II landfill closes the waste would then be diverted to the Central IRRF. Because of ongoing landfill settlement, however, continuing disposal capacity has become available and the date of closure has been extended. The proposed Project includes a WRC, which is a recycling facility and transfer station. Thus, the area of controversy centers on locating two facilities with similar functions in close proximity to each other. Under the proposed Project, the WRC would be designed to receive 1,000 TPD7 of self-haul and non-franchised waste, plus new business (third party market opportunities). The franchised waste would then be diverted to the Central IRRF upon landfill closure in 2005. However, the franchised waste could also be diverted to the WRC. If diverted, franchise waste would not increase the design capacity of the WRC, but rather could be handled in addition to the above described waste streams within the 1,000 TPD7 design capacity. In this scenario, the Central IRRF would continue its existing resource recovery operations. This EIR includes the proposed WRC at the site of the former WCCSL Soil Remediation Building. An alternative WCCSL site in Area A is addressed in Chapter 13, Alternatives. The purpose of this EIR is to provide CEQA coverage on both WRC sites to assess their relative environmental compatibility, thus enabling either site to be selected. The decision on waste flow scenarios discussed above is a policy decision and will be made by the West Contra Costa

2-6

09/18/03\WCCSL EIR\Chapter 2.doc\ks

Integrated Waste Management Authority (Authority), an agency composed of local jurisdictions in the west County area. b. Public Access Trail. There is controversy also regarding the Trail and why it must again be submitted to CEQA review. Phases 2, 3, and 4 of the Trail have been considered in previous CEQA documents, including previous documents for previous WCCSL activities and the EIR for the North Richmond Shoreline Specific Plan.6 However, the Phase 1 alignment along the outer boundary of WCCSL Area B is a recent modification resulting from additional detailed planning. Additionally, none of the Trail alignment has previously been considered in the context of currently proposed Project activities and facilities. A notable example of such activities is the Applicant’s proposal to spray-apply liquid biosolids to selected final landfill sideslopes. Thus, the Trail has been included in the proposed Project by the County as a related action requiring CEQA review. c. DFG Concerns. DFG’s NOP letter included in Appendix 1D summarized various concerns on the Trail based on information available to the agency at that time. In general, concerns existed over extending the Phase 1 alignment near Wildcat Marsh, having an “upper” and “lower” alignment for Phase 3 near San Pablo Bay, the Phase 4 alignment which would extend along the outer boundary of WCCSL Area C, and the need for further detailed biological surveys. A site meeting and tour was conducted with DFG representatives on February 28, 2003, to discuss their concerns. Chapter 9, Biological Resources, fully addresses biological issues and the concerns of DFG. Based on the site meeting and tour, and inspections of the Trail alignment and surrounding areas, it was generally concluded that (1) with appropriate site restrictions the Phase 1 alignment was acceptable because open water areas border the alignment to the south, and would provide a physical deterrent to unauthorized access; (2) given the lack of any habitat along most of the northern border of the WCCSL, the Phase 3 alignment would be acceptable; (3) the Phase 4 alignment is sensitive because the western portion of the Area C levee has habitat value; and (4) given the above, additional detailed biological surveys would not be necessary. 2. Unresolved Issues Section 15123 of the CEQA Guidelines also requires this summary to include identification of issues to be resolved, including choice among alternatives and whether or how to mitigate significant effects of the Project. Table 2-1, located at the end of this chapter, lists mitigation measures identified for each Project component, and the Preferred Environmental Alternative, discussed below, is recommended for implementation. For purposes of this EIR, issues to be resolved include the following:

In Chapter 5, slope deformations of the Class II landfill under severe seismic shaking is an unresolved issue. The Applicant will be preparing additional technical analyses, an earthquake response plan, and otherwise continuing to

2-7

09/18/03\WCCSL EIR\Chapter 2.doc\ks

comply with the requirements of Regional Water Quality Control Board Order (RWQCB) No. R2-2002-0066.

Emission increases from on-site sources would exceed Bay Area Air Quality Management District (BAAQMD) significance thresholds for particulate matter less than 10 microns in diameter (PM10) and this has been defined as a significant unavoidable impact in Chapter 10, Air Quality and Odor. It is anticipated that the Applicant would submit an application to the BAAQMD as part of the BAAQMD’s New Source Review Process. The Project operations with potential to exceed PM10 thresholds established by the BAAQMD would be evaluated for application of Best Available Control Technology (BACT) and emission offsets. The Applicant would decide whether to employ the required BACT or delete the operation from the proposed Project.

In Chapter 10, Air Quality and Odor, potential odor generation associated with the application of liquid biosolids to the southern and eastern sideslopes of the closed landfill is an unresolved issue. The Applicant would need to demonstrate, under the review and oversight of the BAAQMD and the Local Enforcement Agency (LEA), that biosolids application would not result in nuisance odor conditions under full-scale development.

In Chapter 11, health and safety associated with application of biosolids to landfill sideslopes is an unsolved issue. The Applicant would need to (1) demonstrate to the RWQCB that lagoon storage of biosolids at the WCWD treatment plant produces Class A biosolids; or (2) demonstrate to the RWQCB that a combination of Trail closure, rotational dried biosolids spreading, and fencing can be used to conform to 40 CFR 503 regulations.

3. Overview of Impacts and Mitigation Measures Table 2-1 summarizes the environmental analyses in this EIR. The table provides a list of impacts, Applicant control measures, and mitigation measures. In Table 2-1, measures to avoid, reduce, or eliminate environmental impacts are presented in two categories: (1) Applicant proposed control measures, and (2) recommended mitigation measures. Control measures proposed by the Applicant are those operations or procedures identified as being included in the Project, as described in Project documents and reports prepared by the Applicant. The recommended mitigation measures are those measures considered appropriate by this EIR to reduce identified impacts to less-than-significant levels. The County or City would adopt these “recommended mitigation measures” at the time of final approval. All impacts can be reduced to a less-than-significant level except exceedances of the BAAQMD threshold value of particulate (PM10) emissions associated with Project operation. For purposes of this EIR, this impact is significant and unavoidable. The proposed Project would be subject to the BAAQMD New Source Review process. During this BAAQMD

2-8

09/18/03\WCCSL EIR\Chapter 2.doc\ks

permitting process, the Project would be evaluated for application of BACT and emission offsets for reducing PM10 emissions to acceptable levels.

C. SUMMARY OF ALTERNATIVES

Alternatives are discussed in Chapter 13 of this EIR. Section 15126(d) of the CEQA Guidelines requires that an EIR include a discussion and analysis of alternatives. Specifically, the EIR should describe a range of reasonable alternatives to the project, or to the location of the project, which could feasibly attain the basic objectives of the project, and evaluate the comparative merits of the alternatives. Alternatives consist of the no-Project alternative, the alternative WRC site, alternative composting technology, and the Preferred Environmental Alternative. As indicated above, part of the alternatives discussion needs to address the ability of the alternative to attain the basic objectives of the Project. The Applicant’s objectives of the Project are as follows:

To further reduce reliance on landfill disposal by expanding on-site resource recovery and recycling operations in compliance with State-required AB 939 waste diversion mandates.

To construct and operate a WRC and transfer station to handle self-haul volumes currently landfilled in the WCCSL, as well as capacity for new business (to be developed on an ongoing basis), and to achieve even greater diversion of materials from the waste stream than is accomplished now in the Waste Shuttle Facility.

To help facilitate development of the Trail around the WCCSL, which will provide recreational opportunities and increase access to San Pablo Bay and which will also offer a setting for wildlife viewing and environmental education.

To correct the areas of the Class II landfill’s central plateau that have experienced excessive settlement, and to restore the landfill by placing additional municipal solid waste subbase, which will allow the foundation layer, barrier layer, and the top landfill cover surface to be placed at the correct elevations and slope so that drainage can be properly managed.

1. No-Project Alternative Under the no-Project alternative, the WRC, soil reclamation, biosolids/dredged material spreading, including the wet/dusty materials blending, and the proposed alignment for the Trail

2-9

09/18/03\WCCSL EIR\Chapter 2.doc\ks

would not be implemented. The alignment specified in the North Richmond Shoreline Specific Plan and evaluated in the EIR for that plan, however, could be implemented, but consideration should be given to the findings and conclusions in this EIR. Currently permitted activities would continue as follows:

BMPC

Waste Shuttle Facility. This facility would continue to receive waste and recyclable materials at its location on the Class II landfill’s central plateau while the Class II landfill disposal operations are active.

Composting Facility. Composting would be limited to 10,000 tons per year with existing feedstock materials.

Concrete/Asphalt Processing Facility. Processing of about 125,000 tons per year of concrete and asphalt would continue at the existing location. Permitted to have a maximum of 30,000 tons of concrete debris and 1,600 tons of asphalt on site at one time.

Wood Recovery Facility. This facility would continue to process about 30,000 tons per year of wood wastes. Permitted to have a maximum of 350 tons on site at one time.

While the former Soil Remediation Facility is inactive, it is permitted and, therefore, the Applicant could reinstate its permitted uses, if desired, under the no-Project alternative.

Class II Landfill

The Class II landfill would continue to operate under RWQCB Order

No. R2-2002-0066 and Solid Waste Facility Permit (SWFP) #07-AA-001. SWFP #07-AA-001 limits the fill height of the landfill to 130 feet above mean sea level (msl). According to the Applicant’s most recent site life projections based on a landfill height of 130 msl (Table 3-5 in Chapter 3), the landfill would be filled by October 2003 if the former Soil Remediation Building remains in place, or February 2005 if the building is removed, allowing additional solid waste disposal in this area.

Central IRRF

At landfill closure, wastes would be directed to the permitted Central IRRF located at 101 Pittsburg Avenue about 1 mile from the WCCSL. This waste would then be transferred for disposal to the Potrero Hills landfill in Solano County for a period of 5 years after closure of the WCCSL as determined by the Authority.

2-10

09/18/03\WCCSL EIR\Chapter 2.doc\ks

The no-Project alternative would not meet Project objectives. Over 950,000 tons per year of proposed additional waste diversion would not occur at the WCCSL, though a portion of the materials would be processed at the Central IRRF. The additional 30 feet of landfill height needed to provide “cushion” for future settlement and to provide effective drainage would also not occur. 2. Alternative WRC Site The location of an alternative WRC site is within WCCSL Area A and within City limits. The Area A location is outside of former Class II landfill areas and has historically been used for storage of soil for subsequent use in WCCSL operations. WRC operations would be substantially the same as at the proposed site, but the facility layout would be different and a separate access would need to be constructed off the main landfill access road (Recycling Lane). Although the Area A location is close to the Phase 1 segment of the proposed Trail, an elevated landscaped berm with 6-foot cyclone fencing would be constructed in this area for security and environmental compatibility purposes. The Area A location would meet Project objectives and would provide added benefits. Because the site has natural soils which have been “pre-loaded” due to previous soil stockpiling, it is less subject to settlement issues compared to the proposed site which is on 15 to 20 feet of buried waste. Landfill gas (LFG) migration would not be an issue associated with the Area A location, though the Title 27 of the California Code of Regulations, Section 20923 would require LFG monitoring at the structure because it is within 1,000 feet of the Class II landfill. The Area A location is also not in as close proximity to the soil-attapulgite slurry wall as is the proposed site and thus possible disturbance to the wall would not be an issue. The Area A location also provides a location for building where site planning and design are not constrained by an existing building and other physical site constraints. 3. Alternative Composting Technology The aerated static pile composting technology is a relatively high technology approach and alternative to the windrow composting process currently in operation. Aerated static pile offers several advantages compared to windrow composting. It has reduced land area requirements for composting, is better able to accommodate the types of feedstocks proposed for the Composting Facility, and is more efficient because it provides for more precise control of oxygen and temperature conditions in the pile. Because the piles would be covered with finished compost and because exhaust air from the piles would be filtered through a biofilter composed of finished compost, the potential of nuisance odor generation can be reduced. Little, if any, pile turning is required with aerated static pile, so another source of odor, as well as particulates, is reduced.

2-11

09/18/03\WCCSL EIR\Chapter 2.doc\ks

Initially, aerated static pile would not be implemented by the Applicant on a full-scale basis. The Applicant anticipates that the initial process development would begin in 2004 after required permits are obtained. During this initial development phase, experience would be gained on processing the various feedstocks under varied climatic conditions. During the spring of 2004, aerated static pile would run in parallel with windrow composting. By the fall of 2004, the aerated static pile process would be used primarily for the wet weather season of 2004/05. By that time, the Applicant expects the business program to have been developed for the processed materials and the tipping fee economics for the regional feedstock clients.68

Within several years, the Applicant anticipates the aerated static pile to be almost a complete replacement process. The windrows may continue to be used during the dry season to take advantage of additional amounts of green materials produced during the growing season. Thus, the windrows could serve to provide extra seasonal processing capacity. 4. Preferred Environmental Alternative The Preferred Environmental Alternative (PEA), as discussed in Chapter 13 of this EIR, includes the Project proposed by the Applicant, the mitigation measures discussed in Chapters 4 through 12 and summarized in Table 2-1, elimination of Phase 4 of the Trail, the Area A location and associated development plan for the proposed WRC, and the use of aerated static pile as the primary composting process, with the use of windrow composting limited to providing additional seasonal processing capacity. Significant impacts associated with the proposed Project would be reduced to less-than-significant levels, with the exception of PM10 emissions. The PEA would have lower PM10 emissions than the proposed Project because of the reliance on the aerated static pile composting process in lieu of windrow composting. A significant unavoidable PM10 impact would remain. As discussed earlier in this chapter, the PEA would be subject to BAAQMD’s New Source Review process and would be evaluated for application of BACT and emission offsets for reducing PM10 emissions to acceptable levels.
