required by the Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance Section
26.3.6-3(c) to operate a truck terminal and other
transportation-related uses at 4280 Bandini Boulevard.
Klistoff and Sons, Inc. previously occupied this site as a
truck terminal. USA Waste has purchased the assets of
Klistoff and Sons and is proposing a minor expansion of its
operation. The proposed site will be used as a staging area
for USA Waste's trucks and used for light maintenance and
repair and to dispatch trucks. The facility's operating
hours will be twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week.

Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance and is in accordance with the
General Plan. The site is located in the M-2 Zone, Heavy
Industry. A truck terminal is allowed in this zone with a
conditional use permit.

15,223 square foot building (main building) and one 3,750
square foot wash rack canopy. The applicant has not proposed

intersection.
Commercial Heavy Duty trucks will leave the facility using the directions outlined above,

Page 5
Maintenance activities require on site storage of various chemicals such as motor and
hydraulic oils, antifreeze and solvents. In addition, they result in the generation of used
oil, antifreeze and solvents that must be properly removed. Separate plans such as the
. Hazardous Materials Inventory/Business Plan, a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan
and a Spill Prevention, Control and Countermeasure Plan are submitted under separate
cover.
Most of the maintenance activities occur during Shift 4 when trucks are off the routes.
Wash Rack
The site has a wash rack that has typically been used to wash both trucks and containers.
Trucks will continue to be washed on site. All container maintenance on site, including
washing will be discontinued.
Wastewater from the wash rack is discharged to the sanitary sewer system after passing
through a clarifier. Sludge from the clarifier is pumped periodically by a licensed
industrial waste hauler and appropriately disposed.
