MITIGATION MONITORING PROGRAM
LOS ANGELES FIBER CO., INC.
RECYCLED MATERIALS
PROCESSING FACILITY
(September 27, 1995)
Introduction
The Negative Declaration prepared for the Los Angeles Fiber
Co.,' Inc. recycled materials processing facility project (State
Clearinghouse No. 95081041 indicates that the proposal may have
potential impacts on the environment in the absence of any
mitigation. The Negative Declaration indicates specific measures
and programs that should be adopted as part of the development
approval to ensure the potential adverse impacts are mitigated.
In accordance with requirements of Section 21081.6 of the
Public Resources Code, the City Council makes the following
additional findings:
That a mitigation reporting and monitoring program
shall be implemented as specified for the Los Angeles
Fiber Co., Inc. recycled materials processing facility.
Site plans andlor building plans, submitted for
approval by the responsible monitoring agency, have
included required mitigation measures/conditions; and
That an accountable enforcement agency and monitoring
agency shall be identified for mitigation
measureslconditions adopted as part of the decision
maker's final determination.
This Mitigation Monitoring Program (MMP) was prepared by the
City of Vernon Community Services Department in accordance with
AB 3180. The comprehensive MMP presents the mitigation measures
which have been adopted as conditions of approval by the Vernon
City Council, in conjunction with the adoption of the Negative
Declaration prepared for this project, and the respective
monitoring of these measures to be conducted by City staff or
their environmental consultant. The MMP will serve a dual
purpose of verifying implementation of the mitigation measures
for the recycled materials processing facility and of generating
information on the effectiveness of the mitigation measures to
guide future mitigation programs.
Scope of the MMP
The environmental analysis contained in the Initial Study
incorporated herein by reference, focused on issues determined to
be potentially significant by the City of Vernon. The
1
environmental analysis concluded that the environmental issues
discussed in the Initial Study, the significant and potentially
significant impacts could be avoided or reduced to a level below
significance through the implementation of recommended mitigation
measures.
Components of the MMP
The MMP is comprised of three separate phases of monitoring
to ensure that all project mitigation measures have been fully
implemented: (1) monitoring that will occur prior to issuance of
permit; (2) monitoring that will occur during the project's
construction; and (3) monitoring that will occur on an on-going
basis throughout the life-time of the project.
Monitorina Prior to Permit Issuance
The first phase of the monitoring will occur prior to the
issuance of project permits (e.g., conditional use permit,
building permit and grading permit) and will involve review and
approval, by the City or other agencies, of the various design
details and plans necessary to implement the project. The
Initial Study calls for certain grading and design details, as
well as other specific plans to be implemented during project
operations. City staff and other agencies, as part of their plan
review, will check to make sure that the required items have been
incorporated into these plans.
Monitorina Durina Construction
Once the mitigation measures have been adopted as conditions
of approval by the City of Vernon, a construction monitoring team
will be identified. Managing the team will be the responsibility
of a mitigation compliance coordinator at the City.
Prior to any project implementation activities, a pre-
construction meeting will take place between the City of Vernon
staff and all individuals involved in the completion of the MMP
to clearly establish the responsibility and authority of the
participants. An effective reporting system will be established
prior to any monitoring activities. All parties involved will
have a clear understanding of the mitigation measures as
adopted, and the mitigation measures must be distributed to the
participants of the monitoring effort. Those that will have a
complete list of all the mitigation measures adopted by the City
would include the City of Vernon, the applicant and the
construction crew supervisor.
Compliance report forms will be prepared with each
mitigation measure written out on the top of the form. All
persons responsible for monitoring measures shall complete the
report and file it with the City following each monitoring
2
activity. The conclusions of these forms for each monitoring
effort will be compiled into a comprehensive Monitoring Report by
the ~ppropriate City staff. The Monitoring Report will describe
the major accomplishments of the monitoring program, summarize
the problems encountered in achieving the goals of the program,
evaluate solutions 'developed to overcome problems, and provide a
list of recommendations for future monitoring efforts.
On-qoinq Monitoring
The requirements for on-going monitoring will be specified
in the permit conditions of the project or in the back-up reports
required as a result of those permit conditions. The City of
Vernon will be responsible for ensuring that their permit
conditions for the recycled materials processing facility are
being implemented. Actual monitoring activities may be carried
out by City-staffed field inspections, other agency-staffed
inspections, or by specialists hired by the City or the project
applicant to carry out specific programs. In this case, the City
or other permitting agency will be responsible for reviewing the
monitoring reports as they are submitted by the project applicant
or monitors.
Non-Comoliance Procedures
There are generally three separate categories of non-
compliance associated with the adopted conditions of approval:
Non-compliance requiring an immediate halt to a
specific task or piece of equipment.
Non-compliance requiring immediate corrective action,
with no work or task delay.
Non-compliance that does not warrant immediate
corrective action and results in no work or task delay.
In all three cases, the City will notify the applicant's
contractors. If non-compliance continues, the responsibility for
enforcement is with the City. Some methods commonly used by
other lead agencies include: "stop work" orders, fines and
penalties (civil), permit revocations, citations, and
injunctions. It is essential that all parties involved in the
MMP understand the authority and responsibility of the on-site
monitors.

ENVIRONMENTAL CHECKLIST FORM
INTRODUCTION
Los Angeles Fiber Co., Inc. has submitted a conditional use
permit application to the City of Vernon requesting permission to
operate a recycled materials processing facility.
This Initial Study has been prepared to determine if the
operation of this facility will have a significant effect upon the
environment. This study has been prepared in accordance with the
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). The City of Vernon
will use this Initial Study as a basis for deciding whether to
prepare an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) or approve a Negative
Declaration.
PROJECT LOCATION AND EXISTING LAND USE
The facility is located at 4920 Boyle Avenue in the City of
Vernon. The project site is surrounded by Industrial and
Distribution type uses. The nearest residential dwelling is
located more than 3300 feet south of the site. The attached
vicinity map depicts the local vicinity and shows the relationship
of the facility to major highways in the Los Angeles area. The
site is zoned M, General Industrial, and a recycled materials
processing facility is allowed in this area with a conditional use
permit.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Los Angeles Fiber Co., Inc. currently operates a recycled
materials processing facility at 5190 Santa Fe Avenue. Los Angeles
Fiber Co., Inc. recycles textile waste, post consumer used clothing
and preconsumer edge trim clips. The textile waste is shredded
into what is called "shoddy fiber". This shoddy fiber is sold to
manufacturers who produce carpet pad, pillows, moving blankets,
plush animals, spinning yarn and punching bags.
There are two main sources of the raw materials that Los
Angeles Fiber Co., Inc. uses: garment manufactureres and rag
graders. A majority of these resources are delivered to the site
at 5190 Santa Fe Avaenue from the surrounding Vernon area.
Los Angeles Fiber Co., Inc. proposes to expand its operation
to include the site located at 4920 Boyle Avenue. The new site
will conduct the same basic function as the existing site, however,
the proposed operation will be much cleaner than the existing site.
All raw materials will still be delivered to the 5190 Santa Fe
Avenue site and will be sorted, bundled and loaded on flat bed
trucks for delivery to the 4920 Boyle Avenue site. The equipment
for the proposed site includes state-of-the-art dust extraction
2
~
equipment and will be permitted by South Coast Air Quality
Management District.
MITIGATION MONITORING
Public Resources Code Section 21081.6 requires that agencies
adopt a monitoring or reporting program for any project which it
has made findings pursuant to Public Code 21081 or adopted a
Negative Declaration pursuant to Section 21080(c). The mitigating
measures identified in this initial study, if adopted as part of a
Negative Declaration as anticipated, must be monitored for
implementation per Public Resource Code Section '21081.6.
If the project is approved as proposed, the permit issued by
the City of Vernon will, when appropriate, specify a schedule of
compliance for all mitigating measures imposed in the project
approval package. The City will routinely conduct inspections and
investigations at the facility for compliance with permit
requirements.

XXII DISCUSSION OF ENVIRONMENTAL EVALUATION
1) EARTH AND WATER RESOURCES
The topography of the City of Vernon is relatively level.
Although there are no known earthquake faults in the City, Vernon
is in a seismically active region and several faults in the area
are likely to cause moderate groundshaking in Vernon. The
modifications at the facility will require some minor grading for
the installation of tank footings. This grading will not cause
any changes to the geologic substructure, change in topography,
covering of any unique geologic or physical features, any
increase in wind or water erosion to the soil or any changes in
deposition. Since the ground is relatively level landslides and
mudslides are unlikely.
2) AIR OUALITY
The City of Vernon lies in the middle of the Los Angeles
coastal plain. The coastal plain has a semi-marine micro-
climate, which is characteristic of areas which are behind the
fog belt but constantly under the ocean's influence. Winters are
seldom cold and frost is rare. Spring days may be cloudy due to
high fog and summers are warmer than along the coast.
Winter temperatures are lower than a marine climate and
there is less fog in summer. The annual average daytime
temperature ranges from 84.10F in August to 66.60F in January.
Nighttime temperatures vary from 64.40F in summer to 48.40F in
winter. The average annual rainfall in the City is 14.85 inches
and occurs from late October to early April.
The City of Vernon is located within the South Coast Air
Basin of California. The basin covers a 6,600-square mile area
within Orange Courity, non-desert portions of Los Angeles County,
Riverside County, and San Bernardino County. Air quality in the
basin is monitored by the South Coast Air Quality Management
District (SCAQMD) at 35 monitoring stations throughout the area.
The monitoring station nearest to the City of Vernon is the Pico
Rivera station. Readings at the station are used to characterize
air quality in the City of Vernon.
The South Coast Air Basin, in general, has not attained
national and state standards for ozone, carbon monoxide, nitrogen
dioxide, and PM. Comparison with national and state standards
for these contaminants show that readings at the Pico Rivera
station have maximum ozone concentrations that are 2 to 3 times
the state standard and exceedances occur lout of every 3 days.
Carbon monoxide concentrations have not exceeded established
standards and nitrogen dioxide concentration rarely exceed state
or federal standards. Total suspended particulates have exceeded
the state standard but not the federal standard. Ambient levels
of PMlO are not monitored at the Pico Rivera station, so the Los
Angeles station is used for these readings. The readings
exceeded the state standard in 50 to 63 percent of the samples
but are generally less than the federal standard.
Los Angeles Fiber Co., Inc. proposes to occupy a new site.
They will be required to obtain permits from the South Coast Air
Quality Management District. The equipment at the new facility
will include state-of-the-art dust extraction equipment. No
change in air emissions or ambient air quality is anticipated as
a result of the new facility. The project will not cause any
significant odors or any alterations to air movements or climate.
3) WATER OUALITY
Groundwater resources in the City of Vernon consist of
inter-layer bedrock and aquifers, as found in the central Los
Angeles basin. There are no surface water bodies within the
vicinity of the project. No changes in water currents,
movements, absorption rate flood flows or drainage patterns will
occur as a result of the project. The project will not cause any
degradation to the groundwater quality and will not cause any
change in the quantity available.
4) BIOLOGICAL RESOURCES
The City of Vernon is urbanized and plant life is limited to
non-native, introduced and ornamental species which are used for
landscaping. Existing vegetation typically found in the City
consists of street trees, grass and other vegetation commonly
used in landscaping. Animal life in Vernon and nearby urban
communities consists of bird, reptile and mammal species that
live in close proximity to man. There are no endangered animal
species in the City.
5) NOISE
The noise environment within the City is dominated by
traffic noise. The project site is located in an industrial area
already subject to relatively high ambient noise levels. The
noise generated by the facility will ,not cause a significant
effect on the environment.
6) LIGHT AND GLARE
The project, as proposed, will provide outside lights for
work during the night time hours. The site is located in an
industrial area and lighting of facilities is common, therefore
no impacts from light are anticipated. The project as proposed,
will create no glare.
7) LAND USE
The project area is zoned General Industrial, M. A recycled
materials processing facility is allowed in this zone with a
conditional use permit. The City of ,Vernon is primarily made up
of industrial and distribution type facilities. The project site
is not located near any sensitive sites. The nearest residential
unit is approximately 3300 feet from the projects boundary. The
site is surrounded by compatible uses.
8) NATURAL RESOURCES
There are no natural resource extraction activities in or
near the City.
9) RISK OF UPSET
All facilities within the City are regularly inspected by
the Vernon Fire and Health Departments for code violations. The
inspections are made to reduce the potential for urban fires and
chemical releases. The Vernon Fire Department has a fully manned
hazardous materials unit. All personnel are trained in hazardous
material response.
10) POPULATION AND HOUSING
The population of the City of Vernon is approximately 90,
with up to 50,000 people working in the City. Los Angeles Fiber
Co., Inc. intends to operate the proposed facility by employing
approximately 25 people. Because this increase in employment is
minimal no change in population or housing will occur as a result
of the project.
11) TRANSPORTATION/CIRCULATION
Several freeways serve Vernon. To the north is the Santa
Ana (I-5), Santa Monica (I-10) and the Hollywood (I-101)
freeways, to the west is the Harbor Freeway (I-110), and to the
east is the Long Beach Freeway (I-710). Vernon has several
arterials which bisect the City. The site has access to Boyle
Avenue which is 80 feet in width and 50th Street which is 40 feet
in width. Approximately 10 trucks will enter and exit the site a
day. The vehicles travel to the site at various times and are
not concentrated during anyone hour. The streets in the general
area have adequate capacity for the operation and are currently
operating at acceptable levels. The truck volume is negligible
when compared to volumes currently operating on Vernon streets.
The trucks generally travel north or south from the site on Boyle
Avenue to a major arterial which leads to freeway access.
12) PUBLIC SERVICES
The City of Vernon has both a Fire and Police Department.
Pennzoil operates an existing facility and is proposing
modifications and upgrades to this facility. No additional
public services will be required for this facility.
13) ENERGY
Los Angeles Fiber Co., Inc. is proposing to occupy an
existing industrial facility. There will be no impact to the
City of Vernon Light and Power Department. The energy used by
this operation will be negligible.
14 ) HUMAN HEALTH
Los Angeles Fiber Co., Inc. is proposing to expand their
existing use to a new facility. The Vernon Health Department
makes routine inspections to their current facility. Los Angeles
Fiber Co., Inc. maintains a permit for their hazardous materials.
All storage will be in conformance with Health & Safety Codes.

ENVIRONMENTAL CHECKLIST FORM
INTRODUCTION
Los Angeles Fiber Co., Inc. has submitted a conditional use
permit application to the City of Vernon requesting permission to
operate a recycled materials processing facility.
This Initial Study has been prepared to determine if the
operation of this facility will have a significant effect upon the
environment. This study has been prepared in accordance with the
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). The City of Vernon
will use this Initial Study as a basis for deciding whether to
prepare an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) or approve a Negative
Declaration.
PROJECT LOCATION AND EXISTING LAND USE
The facility is located at 4920 Boyle Avenue in the City of
Vernon. The project site is surrounded by Industrial and
Distribution type uses. The nearest residential dwelling is
located more than 3300 feet south of the site. The attached
vicinity map depicts the local vicinity and shows the relationship
of the facility to major highways in the Los Angeles area. The
site is zoned M, General Industrial, and a recycled materials
processing facility is allowed in this area with a conditional use
permit.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Los Angeles Fiber Co., Inc. currently operates a recycled
materials processing facility at 5190 Santa Fe Avenue. Los Angeles
Fiber Co., Inc. recycles textile waste, post consumer used clothing
and preconsumer edge trim clips. The textile waste is shredded
into what is called "shoddy fiber". This shoddy fiber is sold to
manufacturers who produce carpet pad, pillows, moving blankets,
plush animals, spinning yarn and punching bags.
There are two main sources of the raw materials that Los
Angeles Fiber Co., Inc. uses: garment manufactureres and rag
graders. A majority of these resources are delivered to the site
at 5190 Santa Fe Avaenue from the surrounding Vernon area.
Los Angeles Fiber Co., Inc. proposes to expand its operation
to include the site located at 4920 Boyle Avenue. The new site
will conduct the same basic function as the existing site, however,
the proposed operation will be much cleaner than the existing site.
All raw materials will still be delivered to the 5190 Santa Fe
Avenue site and will be sorted, bundled and loaded on flat bed
trucks for delivery to the 4920 Boyle Avenue site. The equipment
for the proposed site includes state-of-the-art dust extraction
2
;'
equipment and will be permitted by South Coast Air Quality
Management District.
MITIGATION MONITORING
Public Resources Code Section 21081.6 requires that agencies
adopt a monitoring or reporting program for any project which it
has made findings pursuant to Public Code 21081 or adopted a
Negative Declaration pursuant to Section 21080(c). The mitigating
measures identified in this initial study, if adopted as part of a
Negative Declaration as anticipated, must be monitored for
implementation per Public Resource Code Section 21081.6.
If the project is approved as proposed, the permit issued by
the City of Vernon will, when appropriate, specify a schedule of
compliance for all mitigating measures imposed in the project
approval package. The City will routinely conduct inspections and
investigations at the facility for compliance with permit
requirements.

XXII DISCUSSION OF ENVIRONMENTAL EVALUATION
1) EARTH AND WATER RESOURCES
The topography of the City of Vernon is relatively level.
Although there are no known earthquake faults in the City, Vernon
is in a seismically active region and several faults in the area
are likely to cause moderate groundshaking in Vernon. The
modifications at the facility will require some minor grading for
the installation of tank footings. This grading will not cause
any changes to the geOlogic substructure, change in topography,
covering of any unique geologic or physical features, any
increase in wind or water erosion to the soil or any changes in
deposition. Since the ground is relatively level landslides and
mudslides are unlikely.
2) AIR OUALITY
The City of Vernon lies in the middle of the Los Angeles
coastal plain. The coastal plain has a semi-marine micro-
climate, which is characteristic of areas which are behind the
fog belt but constantly under the ocean's influence. Winters are
seldom cold and frost is rare. Spring days may be cloudy due to
high fog and summers are warmer than along the coast.
Winter temperatures are lower than a marine climate and
there is less fog in summer. The annual average daytime
temperature ranges from 84.10F in August to 66.60F in January.
Nighttime temperatures vary from 64.40F in summer to 48.40F in
winter. The average annual rainfall in the City is 14.85 inches
and occurs from late October to early April.
The City of Vernon is located within the South Coast Air
Basin of California. The basin covers a 6,600-square mile area
within Orange County, non-desert portions of Los Angeles County,
Riverside County, and San Bernardino County. Air quality in the
basin is monitored by the South Coast Air Quality Management
District (SCAQMD) at 35 monitoring stations throughout the area.
The monitoring station nearest to the City of Vernon is the Pi co
Rivera station. Readings at the station are used to characterize
air quality in the City of Vernon.
The South Coast Air Basin, in general, has not attained
national and state standards for ozone, carbon monoxide, nitrogen
dioxide, and PM. Comparison with national and state standards
for these contaminants show that readings at the Pico Rivera
station have maximum ozone concentrations that are 2 to 3 times
the state standard and exceedances occur lout of every 3 days.
Carbon monoxide concentrations have not exceeded established
standards and nitrogen dioxide concentration rarely exceed state
or federal standards. Total suspended particulates have exceeded
the state standard but not.the federal standard. Ambient levels
of PMlO are not monitored at the Pico Rivera station, so the Los
Angeles station is used for these readings. The readings
exceeded the state standard in 50 to 63 percent of the samples
but are generally less than the federal standard.
Los Angeles Fiber Co., Inc. proposes to occupy a new site.
They will be required to obtain permits from the South Coast Air
Quality Management District. The equipment at the new facility
will include state-of-the-art dust extraction equipment. No
change in air emissions or ambient air quality is anticipated as
a result of the new facility. The project will not cause any
significant odors or any alterations to air movements or climate.
3) WATER OUALITY
Groundwater resources in the City of Vernon consist of
inter-layer bedrock and aquifers, as found in the central Los
Angeles basin. There are no surface water bodies within the
vicinity of the project. No changes in water currents,
movements, absorption rate flood flows or drainage patterns will
occur as a result of the project. The project will not cause any
degradation to the groundwater quality and will not cause any
change in the quantity available.
4) BIOLOGICAL RESOURCES
The City of Vernon is urbanized and plant life is limited to
non-native, introduced and ornamental species which are used for
landscaping. Existing vegetation typically found in the City
consists of street trees, grass and other vegetation commonly
used in landscaping. Animal life in Vernon and nearby urban
communities consists of bird, reptile and mammal species that
live in close proximity to man. There are no endangered animal
species in the City.
5) NOISE
The noise environment within the City is dominated by
traffic noise. The project site is located in an industrial area
already subject to relatively high ambient noise levels. The
noise generated by the facility will not cause a significant
effect on the environment.
6) LIGHT AND GLARE
The project, as proposed, will provide outside lights for
work during the night time hours. The site is located in an
industrial area and lighting of facilities is common, therefore
no impacts from light are anticipated. The project as proposed,
will create no glare.
7) LAND USE
The project area is zoned General Industrial, M. A recycled
materials processing facility is allowed in this zone with a
conditional use permit. The City of Vernon is primarily made up
of industrial and distribution type facilities. The project site
is not located near any sensitive sites. The nearest residential
unit is approximately 3300 feet from the projects boundary. The
site is surrounded by compatible uses.
8) NATURAL RESOURCES
There are no natural resource extraction activities in or
near the City.
9) RISK OF UPSET
All facilities within the City are regularly inspected by
the Vernon Fire and Health Departments for code violations. The
inspections are made to reduce the potential for urban fires and
chemical releases. The Vernon Fire Department has a fully manned
hazardous materials unit. All personnel are trained in hazardous
material response.
10) POPULATION AND HOUSING
The population of the City of Vernon is approximately 90,
with up to 50,000 people working in the City. Los Angeles Fiber
Co., Inc. intends to operate the proposed facility by employing
approximately 25 people. Because this increase in employment is
minimal no change in population or housing will occur as a result
of the project.
11) TRANSPORTATION/CIRCULATION
Several freeways serve Vernon. To the north is the Santa
Ana (I-5), Santa Monica (I-10) and the Hollywood (I-101)
freeways, to the west is the Harbor Freeway (I-110), and to the
east is the Long Beach Freeway (I-710). Vernon has several
arterials which bisect the City. The site has access to Boyle
Avenue which is 80 feet in width and 50th Street which is 40 feet
in width. Approximately 10 trucks will enter and exit the site a
day. The vehicles travel to the site at various times and are
not concentrated during anyone hour. The streets in the general
area have adequate capacity for the operation and are currently
operating at acceptable levels. The truck volume is negligible
when compared to volumes currently operating on Vernon streets.
The trucks generally travel north or south from the site on Boyle
Avenue to a major arterial which leads to freeway access.

INTRODUCTION
Los Angeles Fiber Co., Inc. has submitted a conditional use
permit application to the City of Vernon requesting permission to
operate a recycled materials processing facility.
This Initial Study has been prepared to determine if the
operation of this facility will have a significant effect upon the
environment. This study has been prepared in accordance with the
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). The City of Vernon
will use this Initial Study as a basis for deciding whether to
prepare an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) or approve a Negative
Declaration.
PROJECT LOCATION AND EXISTING LAND USE
The facility is located at 4920 Boyle Avenue in the City of
Vernon. The project site is surrounded by Industrial and
Distribution type uses. The nearest residential dwelling is
located more than 3300 feet south of the site. The attached
vicinity map depicts the local vicinity and shows the relationship
of the facility to major highways in the Los Angeles area. The
site is zoned M, General Industrial, and a recycled materials
processing facility is allowed in this area with a conditional use
permit.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Los Angeles Fiber Co., Inc. currently operates a recycled
materials processing facility at 5190 Santa Fe Avenue. Los Angeles
Fiber Co., Inc. recycles textile waste, post consumer used clothing
and preconsumer edge trim clips. The textile waste is shredded
into what is called "shoddy fiber". This shoddy fiber is sold to
manufacturers who produce carpet pad, pillows, moving blankets,
plush animals, spinning yarn and punching bags.
There are two main sources of the raw materials that Los
Angeles Fiber Co., Inc. uses: garment manufactureres and rag
graders. A majority of these resources are delivered to the site
at 5190 Santa Fe Avaenue from the surrounding Vernon area.
Los Angeles Fiber Co., Inc. proposes to expand its operation
to include the site located at 4920 Boyle Avenue. The new site
will conduct the same basic function as the existing site, however,
the proposed operation will be much cleaner than the existing site.
All raw materials will still be delivered to the 5190 Santa Fe
Avenue site and will be sorted, bundled and loaded on flat bed
trucks for delivery to the 4920 Boyle Avenue site. The equipment
for the proposed site includes state-of-the-art dust extraction
2
'"<
equipment and will be permitted by South Coast Air Quality
Management District.
MITIGATION MONITORING
Public Resources Code Section 21081.6 requires that agencies
adopt a monitoring or reporting program for any project which it
has made findings pursuant to Public Code 21081 or adopted a
Negative Declaration pursuant to Section 21080(c). The mitigating
measures identified in this initial study, if adopted as part of a
Negative Declaration as anticipated, must be monitored for
implementation per Public Resource Code Section 21081.6.
If the project is approved as proposed, the permit issued by
the City of Vernon will, when appropriate, specify a schedule of
compliance for all mitigating measures imposed in the project
approval package. The City will routinely conduct inspections and
investigations at the facility for compliance with permit
requirements.

climate, which is characteristic of areas which are behind the
fog belt but constantly under the ocean's influence. Winters are
seldom cold and frost is rare. Spring days may be cloudy due to
high fog and summers are warmer than along the coast.
Winter temperatures are lower than a marine climate and
there is less fog in summer. The annual average daytime
temperature ranges from 84.10F in August to 66.60F in January.
Nighttime temperatures vary from 64.40F in summer to 48.40F in
winter. The average annual rainfall in the City is 14.85 inches
and occurs from late October to early April.
The City of Vernon is located within the South Coast Air
Basin of California. The basin covers a 6,600-square mile area
within Orange County, non-desert portions of Los Angeles County,
Riverside County, and San Bernardino County. Air quality in the
basin is monitored by the South Coast Air Quality Management
District (SCAQMD) at 35 monitoring stations throughout the area.
The monitoring station nearest to the City of Vernon is the Pico
Rivera station. Readings at the station are used to characterize
air quality in the City of Vernon.
The South Coast Air Basin, in general, has not attained
national and state standards for ozone, carbon monoxide, nitrogen
dioxide, and PM. Comparison with national and state standards
for these contaminants show that readings at the pico Rivera
station have maximum ozone concentrations that are 2 to 3 times
the state standard and exceedances occur lout of every 3 days.
Carbon monoxide concentrations have not exceeded established
standards and nitrogen dioxide concentration rarely exceed state
or federal standards. Total suspended particulates have exceeded
the state standard but not the federal standard. Ambient levels
of PMlO are not monitored at the Pico Rivera station, so the Los
Angeles station is used for these readings. The readings
exceeded the state standard in 50 to 63 percent of the samples
but are generally less than the federal standard.
Los Angeles Fiber Co., Inc. proposes to occupy a new site.
They will be required to obtain permits from the South Coast Air
Quality Management District. The equipment at the new facility
will include state-of-the-art dust extraction equipment. No
change in air emissions or ambient air quality is anticipated as
a result of the new facility. The project will not cause any
significant odors or any alterations to air movements or climate.
3) WATER QUALITY
Groundwater resources in the City of Vernon consist of
inter-layer bedrock and aquifers, as found in the central Los
Angeles basin. There are no surface water bodies within the
vicinity of the project. No changes in water currents,
movements, absorption rate flood flows or drainage patterns will
occur as a result of the project. The project will not cause any
degradation to the groundwater quality and will not cause any
change in the quantity available.
4) BIOLOGICAL RESOURCES
The City of Vernon is urbanized and plant life is limited to
non-native, introduced and ornamental species which are used for
landscaping. Existing vegetation typically found in the City
consists of street trees, grass and other vegetation commonly
used in landscaping. Animal life in Vernon and nearby urban
communities consists of bird, reptile and mammal species that
live in close proximity to man. There are no endangered animal
species in the City.
5) NOISE
The noise environment within the City is dominated by
traffic noise. The project site is located in an industrial area
already subject to relatively high ambient noise levels. The
noise generated by the facility will ,not cause a significant
effect on the environment.
6) LIGHT AND GLARE
The project, as proposed, will provide outside lights for
work during the night time hours. The site is located in an
industrial area and lighting of facilities is common, therefore
no impacts from light are anticipated. The project as proposed,
will create no glare.
. .
7) LAND USE
The project area is zoned General Industrial, M. A recycled
materials processing facility is allowed in this zone with a
conditional use permit. The City of Vernon is primarily made up
of industrial and distribution type facilities. The project site
is not located near any sensitive sites. The nearest residential
unit is approximately 3300 feet from the projects boundary. The
site is surrounded by compatible uses.
8) NATURAL RESOURCES
There are no natural resource extraction activities in or
near the City.
9) RISK OF UPSET
All facilities within the City are regularly inspected by
the Vernon Fire and Health Departments for code violations. The
inspections are made to reduce the potential for urban fires and
chemical releases. The Vernon Fire Department has a fully manned
hazardous materials unit. All personnel are trained in hazardous
material response.
10) POPULATION AND HOUSING
The population of the City of Vernon is approximately 90,
with up to 50,000 people working in the City. Los Angeles Fiber
Co., Inc. intends to operate the proposed facility by employing
approximately 25 people. Because this increase in emploYment is
minimal no change in population or housing will occur as a result
of the project.
11) TRANSPORTATION/CIRCULATION
Several freeways serve Vernon. To the north is the Santa
Ana (I-5), Santa Monica (I-I0) and the Hollywood (I-I0l)
freeways, to the west is the Harbor Freeway (I-II0), and to the
east is the Long Beach Freeway (I-710). Vernon has several
arterials which bisect the City. The site has access to Boyle
Avenue which is 80 feet in width and 50th Street which is 40 feet
in width. Approximately 10 trucks will enter and exit the site a
day. The vehicles travel to the site at various times and are
not concentrated during anyone hour. The streets in the general
area have adequate capacity for the operation and are currently
operating at acceptable levels. The truck volume is negligible
when compared to volumes currently operating on Vernon streets.
The trucks generally travel north or south from the site on Boyle
Avenue to a major arterial which leads to freeway access.

.
. .
12) PUBLIC SERVICES
The City of Vernon has both a Fire and Police Department.
Pennzoil operates an existing facility and is proposing
modifications and upgrades to this facility. No additional
public services will be required for this facility.
13) ENERGY
Los Angeles Fiber Co., Inc. is proposing to occupy an
existing industrial facility. There will be no impact to the
City of Vernon Light and Power Department. The energy used by
this operation will be negligible.
14) HUMAN HEALTH
Los Angeles Fiber Co., Inc. is proposing to expand their
existing use to a new facility. The Vernon Health Department
makes routine inspections to their current facility. Los Angeles
Fiber Co., Inc. maintains a permit for their hazardous materials.
All storage will be in conformance with Health & Safety Codes.
There has been no history of violations at this facility. The
proposal will not alter, or in any way increase the level of risk
or exposure to existing health hazards. No adverse impacts are
anticipated.
15) AESTHETICS
The area surrounding the property is made up of industrial
and commercial uses. The facility will blend in and not create
any offensive visual effect.
16) RECREATIONAL
There will be no significant impact to any recreational
resources in the area.
17) CULTURAL RESOURCES
There are no known historic buildings or cultural sites in
the area. No archaeological or historical objects are expected
to be found during construction.
XXIII DISCUSSION OF LAND IMPACTS
The proposed project is in conformance with the City of
Vernon General Plan. The zoning of the site is M, which allows
recycled materials processing facility with a conditional use
permit. No impacts to surrounding properties are expected.

CITY OF VERNON COMMUNITY SERVICES DEPARTMENT
ENGINEER'S REPORT
ON LOS ANGELES FIBER CO., INC.
CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT TO OPERATE A
RECYCLED MATERIALS PROCESSING FACILITY AT
5190 SANTA FE AVENUE AND 4920 BOYLE AVENUE
(September 27, 1995)
Los Angeles Fiber Co., Inc. (hereinafter "L.A. Fiber") has
submitted a conditional use permit application to the City of
Vernon requesting permission to operate and expand a recycled
materials processing facility. L.A. Fiber is currently occupying
the facility at 5190 Santa Fe Avenue (Existing Site) and is
proposing to expand their use to the facility located at 4920
Boyle Avenue (New Site) .
L.A. Fiber has operated a recycled materials processing
facility at their Existing Site for over 10 years. L.A. Fiber
recycles textile waste, post-consumer used clothing and pre-
consumer edge trim clips. The textile waste is shredded into
what is called "shoddy fiber". This shoddy fiber is sold to
manufacturers who produce carpet pad, pillows, moving blankets,
plush animals, spinning yarn and punching bags.
There are two main sources of the raw materials that L.A.
Fiber uses: garment manufacturers and rag graders. A majority
of these resources are delivered to the Existing Site at 5190
Santa Fe Avenue from the surrounding Vernon area.
L.A. Fiber proposes to expand its operation to include the
New Site located at 4920 Boyle Avenue. The New Site will conduct
th~ same basic function as the Existing Site. A shoddy mattress
bat and upholstery pad will be manufactured as an additional
product and will be sold to mattress and home furnishings
industries. All raw materials will still be delivered to the
Existing Site and will be sorted, bundled and loaded on flat bed
trucks for delivery to the New Site. The equipment for the New
Site includes state-of-the-art dust extraction equipment for
which a permit will be issued by South Coast Air Quality
Management District.
1. GENERAL PLAN The proposed use conforms to the Zoning
Ordinance and the General Plan of the City.
2. SITE The New Site is approximately 4 acres and is of
adequate size and shape for the proposed use. The Existing Site
is approximately 2 acres and is of adequate size and shape for
the proposed use.
3. ADVERSE EFFECT Both the New and Existing Sites are
surrounded by industrial uses compatible with the proposed use
and no adverse noise, odor, dust, smoke, light or glare, or risk
of fire, or explosion is anticipated from the proposed operation.
4. ACCESS The Existing Site has access to 52nd Street.
The New Site has access to Boyle Avenue and 50th Street. The
streets are of adequate size to handle the traffic generated from
the proposed operation.
5. TRUCK MOVEMENTS Fifteen or less trucks or vans will
enter and exit the Existing Site that has access to 52nd Street.
L.A. Fiber will have approximately 5 or less trucks entering and
exiting the New Site daily. The New Site is served by Boyle
Avenue and 50th Street. The streets traveled to access the sites
have sufficient width to handle the traffic generated from the
2
proposed operation.
6. OPERATIONS The primary operations consist of shredding
textile waste into individual fibers called "shoddy fiber".
Textile waste will be delivered to the Existing Site. It will be
sorted and bundled and a portion of it will be delivered to the
New Site. At both facilities, the textile waste will be
shredded, bundled and shipped to manufacturers of carpet pad,
pillows and moving blankets. At the New Site an additional
product will be manufactured. This will be a shoddy mattress bat
and upholstery pad which will be sold to the mattress and home
furnishings industries. The textile waste is received at the
Existing Site from 15 or less vans or small trucks each day. The
material will be transferred to the New Site and shipped to
manufacturers by 5 or less flatbed trucks and vans.
The Existing Site has 50 employees and the expansion will
add approximately 25 new workers at the New Site. The plants
will operate six to seven days a week at mid and off peak utility
hours. There are three shifts a day, however, the hours change
between winter and summer months. Typically the day shift
operates from 4:00 am to 12:30 pm. The night shift operates from
7:30 pm to 4:00 am. A clean-up shift works from 12:30 pm to 9:00
pm.
Los Angeles Fiber Co., Inc. intends to vacate the Existing
Site by December 1, 1996 and thereafter conduct all operations at
the New Site. There will be a transitional period during which
the operations will be transferred from the Existing Site to the
3
New Site. During this time, activity will be increasing at the
New Site and decreasing at the Existing Site. When the
operations have been completely relocated to the New Site there
will be a total of approximately 70 employees: 35 on the day
shift; 5 on the clean-up shift; and 30 on the night shift.
Traffic will then consist of 10 or less vans and small trucks and
seven or less flat bed trucks.

RE: 50th and Boyle Avenue
Dear Mary:
It was a pleasure meeting with you today.
Per your request, the following is a brief outline of our use plan for the 4928 S. Boyle Avenue production
facility.
.Plan A
Conditional Use Plan has been submitted to the City for approval.
During the investigative process by the City ofVemoo, we have been informed the original Los Angeles
Fiber production facility at 5120 S. Santa Fe Avenue will have to be brought into conformance with all the
codes, rules and regulations as the proposed second facility on Boyle Avenue. Many of the upgrades are too
costly or would limit our ability to operate in the manner we are accustomed to. The plant logistical changes
alone warrant the consideration to move from the current location.
We are willing to leave the Santa Fe Avenue facility when our lease expires on December 1996 and move to
the Boyle Avenue location. Therefor, both the existing plant and the new plant will be operating at the same
location. Deutsch Realty, owners of the property at 50th and Boyle, has additional square footage available
to accommodate our production requirements.
Plan B
Conditional Use Plan would need the following modifications:
Notarized Signatures. No change to permit, same players as before.
Radius maps. No change to permit, same property line.
Property owners and tenants list. No change, same property line.
Property owners notarized lists. No chang~, same property line.
Item one.
Item two.
Item three.
Item four.
Item six.
Development Plot Plan. Will be .submitted for your review by Wednesday,
September 13, 1995. Same plant layouts as we discussed today at the site.
Environmental Impact Study. No change, same as submitted.
Item seven.

Operations Report.
We will be moving our current Santa Fe Avenue operations to Boyle Avenue.
Los Angeles Fiber Company recycles textile waste, postconswner used clothing and preconsumer edge trim
clips. The textile waste is shredded into individual fibers called "shoddy fiber" (undetermined fiber). The
finished product is sold to manufactures of carpet pad, pillows, punching bags, spinning yam, pl\JSh animals,
and moving blankets.
L A Fibers has two main sources for its raw materials. Garment manufactures generate millions of poundS
of scrap clippings. .These clips will becolIected and delivered to 50th and Boyle Avenue by disposal
companies and peddlers. The clips are separated by material type, color, and size.
The second source ofrawmaterials is rag graders. A rag grader sorts used,postconsumer clothing. The
grader has three. markets for their finished goods. The usable items are exported to third world nations, the
absorbent cloths are cut into wiping rags, and the balance of the used clothing is sold to L.A. Fibers to be
recycled into "shoddy fiber. "
In addition to the production of shoddy fiber, we plan to manufllcture an air lay preconsumer shoddy
mattress bat I upholstery pad. These items will be sold to the mattress and home fumishingsindustries. We
will be the only company to produce this innovative product from 100% recycled materials.
We .propose to employ approximately 25 new employees which will give usa total number of 70 employees,
40 employees during the first shift, five employees during the second shift, and 25 employees during the
third shift. The plant willopccate during the mid and off peak utility hours, six to seven days per week.

adopted by the City of Vernon.
2. That the project will not have a significant effect on
the environment in this case because of the following mitigating
measures adopted.
3. That the project will not individually or cumulatively

OPERATIONS REPORT
Los Angeles Fiber Company recycles textile waste, postconsumer used clothing and
preconsumer edge trim clips. The textile waste is shredded into individual fibers called "shoddy
fiber" (undetermined fiber). The finished product is sold to manufactures of carpet pad, pillows,
punching bag~, spinning yam, plush animals, and moving blankets.
L.A. Fibers has two main sources for its raw materials. Garment manufactures generate millions
of pounds of scrap clippings. These clips are collected and delivered to L.A. Fibers, 5190 South
Santa Fe, Vernon, California facility by disposal companies and peddlers. The clips are
seperated by material type, color, and size.
All raw materials delivered to the 50th and Boyle Street facility will be baled and shipped via L.A.
Fiber company 48 foot flat bed truck.
The second source of raw materials are rag graders. A rag grader sorts used, postconsumer
clothing. The rag grader has three markets for their finished goods. The usable items are
exported to third world nations, the absorbent cloths are cut into wiping rags, and the balance of
used clothing is sent to L.A. Fibers to be recycled into "shoddy fiber".
In addition to the production of shoddy fiber, we plan to manufacture an air lay preconsumer
shoddy mattress bat I upholstery pad. These items will be sold to the mattress and home
furnishings industries. We will be the only company to produce this innovative product from
100% recycled materials.
We propose to employ approximately 25 new workers; 15 workers during the day shift and 10
workers during the night shift. The plant will operate during the mid and off peak utility hours, six
to seven days per week.
