Respec/l/submitted, I Kevin Wilson, P.E. )r of Community Services & Water SKW/sc Attaclunents cc: City Attomey CITY OF VERNON COMMUNITY SERVICES DEPARTMENT STAFF REPORT ON WASTE MANAGEMENT HEALTH CARE SOLUTIONS CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT TO OPERATE A MEDICAL WASTE TRANSFER STATION AND TREATMENT FACILITY AT 4280 BANDINI BOULEVARD February 25, 2009 Waste Management Health Care Solutions ("Waste Managemenf') has submitted an application for a conditional use permit to operate a medical waste transfer station and treatment facility located at 4280 Bandini Boulevard, Vernon California. Waste Management proposes to develop an autoclave facility consisting of two autoclaves, approximately 8 feet by 32 feet in size within an existing 13,637 square foot industrial warehouse including the addition of 756 square feet for the compactor enclosure at the subject site. The autoclave facility will accept, handle, and treat regulated medical wastes (RMW) and wastes regulated by the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS), medical and dental universal wastes and pharmaceutical wastes that are delivered to the site. Construction and operation of the facility will comply with the California Medical Waste Management Act (MWMA). This facility is considered an "Off- Site Treatment Facility and. Transfer Station" as defined by the MWMA. Construction will occur in two phases, with installation of the first autoclave occurring in Phase I and the second autoclave occurring in Phase 2, when waste volumes warrant the use of a second autoclave. Full operation of the facility (i.e., operation of second autoclave) is anticipated to occur in 2016. 1. GENERAL PLAN The proposed use is consistent with the Zoning Ordinance and General Plan. The site is located in the I -Zone, Industrial. Waste Management is considered a Medical Waste Facility. Medical Waste is defined as a waste, or combination of wastes, which because of its quantity, concentration, or physical, chemical, or infectious characteristics may either; (i) Cause, or significantly contribute to an increase in mortality or an increase in serious irreversible, or incapacitating reversible, illness. (ii) Pose a substantial present or potential hazard to human health or environment when improperly treated, stored, transported, or disposed of, or otherwise managed. A Medical Waste Facility is not specifically permitted or specifically prohibited by the City's zoning ordinance and therefore a conditional use permit is required. 2. SITE The project site is located at 4280 Bandini Boulevard in the northern portion of the City of Vernon. Regional access to the proposed site is provided by the Long Beach Freeway (1-710) and the Santa Ana Freeway (1-5), approximately 0.6 mile to the east and 1.20 mile to the north, respectively. The nearest freeway on- and off -ramp is at the intersection of Bandini Boulevard, the 1-710, and Atlantic Boulevard. Local access is provided by Bandini Boulevard, which borders the site to the north. The irregularly shaped site consists of approximately 96,891 square feet or 2.23 acres of industrial land The site has a street frontage of 125 feet along Bandini Boulevard and a depth of approximately 884 feet. The project site is located in a highly industrialized area. Large blocks of industrial buildings are adjacent to the east and west, with smaller industrial buildings located to the north across Bandini Boulevard. To the south of the site is the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power transmission line easement, the Los I Angeles Junction Railroad track, which follows the concrete channel of the Los Angeles River. Additionally, a railroad spur enters the site from the south and parallels the western border of the site. This railroad spur was previously utilized for transporting flour to the project site. However, the use of these railroad spurs will no longer be utilized. Although there are limited uses currently on the site, the site operates as a truck terminal for solid waste collection vehicles under a Conditional Use Permit dated December 2005. Operations for the truck terminal included truck departures and returns, truck servicing (i.e., maintenance, repair, washing), truck and employee vehicle parking, refuse container storage and washing, and refuse container delivery and return. No refuse was allowed to be stored on -site. The truck terminal operated daily, 24 hours per day. In 2006, operations were cut back. However, the �005 CUP approved for the site, allows for the continued operation of the truck terminal subject to a maximum of 110 daily truck and vehicle trips per day (55 inbound and 55 outbound). Currently, the site is used primarily for refuse container storage for new contracts and overflows. Existing improvements on the site include a 20-foot high, concrete tilt -up warehouse with a small office area, a metal canopy (formerly used as a wash rack), and surface parking. Additionally, a chain -link fence is provided along the entire perimeter of the site with an entry gate on Bandini Boulevard. The approximately 13,637 square foot warehouse occupies the northern portion of the site and includes a small office area in the front as well as raised loading docks in the rear. The metal canopy is set apart from the warehouse and provides a covered area of approximately 2,775 square feet. Two used oil tanks, a trench drain, and an oil/water separator are located within the canopy area. The proposed site will be supported by a 20 stall surface parking lot, 10 truck parking, and 4 loading stalls. Vehicle ingress and egress to the proposed site will be provided from Bandini Boulevard. Vehicles will enter the site via a two-way driveway on the eastern edge of the site, across from Bonnie Beach Place. Vehicles can exit the site via either driveway. The western driveway is controlled by a signal. The site is zoned 1, Industrial, which is intended to protect heavy industries from incompatible commercial, office, or residential uses. Additionally, the site (as with the entire City of Vernon) is designed as Industrial by the General Plan. The applicant has not proposed any changes to the size, shape, � topography and drainage of the existing site for the proposed operation. 3. ADVERSE EFFECT The proposed use is surrounded by properties with industrial and warehousing uses that are compatible with the proposed use. Therefore, no adverse impacts from traffic, parking, noise, odor, dust, smoke, light or glare, or risk of fire, or explosion are expected to occur to the adjacent or abutting properties. An initial study has been conducted for the project in compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). No potentially significant impacts are expected to result from the project. The Director of Community Services & Water has recommended that a Notice of Intent be filed, and a Negative Declaration be adopted in compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA"), which identifies potentially significant impacts on the environment from the project. 4. ACCESS As previously mentioned, vehicle ingress and egress to the site is provided from Bandini Boulevard. Vehicles will enter the site via a two-way driveway on the eastern edge of the site, across from Bonnie Beach Place. Vehicles can exit the site via either driveway. The western driveway is controlled by a signal. The streets and highways surrounding the proposed site are adequate in width and are improved as necessary to carry the traffic expected by this proposed use. 5. VEHICLE MOVEMENTS The waste will be transported to the autoclave facility by a fleet of trucks in containers approved for such purpose. These trucks will include tractor trailers ranging from 28 feet to 53 feet (75 feet long with cab), including the use of doubles (two-28 foot trailers coupled together), as well as bobtail trucks that are 26 feet (34 feet with cab). During the two -month construction period, the export of construction waste materials (e.g., dirt, asphalt, and concrete) would result in additional truck traffic. However, construction truck traffic will be minimal and will not be expected to cause an overloading of the capacity of the street system. Furthermore, such trips will generally occur during non -peak hours and will be temporary. During the operation of the project, plant employees as well as truck delivery personnel (drivers) will increase the existing traffic load on the street system. A Traffic Impact Assessment (TIA) has been prepared by Fehr and Peers/Kaku Associates to analyze the operational traffic impacts of the project. According to the existing CUP for the truck terminal uses that operated on -site, a maximum of 110 daily truck and vehicle trips are allowed per day (5 5 inbound and 5 5 outbound). Under the approved CUP, no trips will be generated in the A.M. peak hour and two will be generated in the P.M. peak hour. With the proposed project, 138 truck and vehicle trips per day will be generated upon full project build out, which includes four trips during the morning peak hour (7-00 A.M. to 8:00 A.M.) and two trips during the afternoon peak hour (5:00 P.m. to 6:00 P.M.). Thus, the project will result in a net increase of 28 trips. The project is generally an off-peak generator, with approximately five percent of the total estimated daily trips being generated during the A.M. and P.m. peak hours. Based on the Program Environmental Impact Report City of Vernon General Plan Update and Zoning Ordinance Revision (Hogle-Ireland, Inc., August 2007), a significant impact would occur at an intersection if poor LOS operations are projected (LOS E or F), or if the project would substantially and adversely increase traffic in that intersection. Therefore, in accordance with the City's standards, the TIA analyzed the level of service (LOS) at the adjacent signalized intersection of Bandini Boulevard and Bonnie Beach i Place due to the addition of project trips. Using the Intersection Capacity Methodology (ICU) contained in the 2000 Highway Capacity Manual (HCM 2000), it was estimated that under the Existing Conditions Plus approved CUP conditions and under the Existing Conditions Plus Project conditions, the intersection of Bandini Boulevard and Bonnie Beach Place will operate at acceptable LOS C during the A.M. and P.M. peak hours (as with existing conditions). In addition, in the Future 2016 Plus Approved CUP conditions and also in the I Future 2016 (project build out year) Plus Project conditions with an ambient growth rate R by 0.5 percent per year; this intersection will continue to operate at acceptable LOS C during the A.m. and P.M. peak hours. The project's increase in trips generated within the area could also contribute to the highly congested interchange of Bandini Boulevard and Atlantic Boulevard located approximately 0.56 miles to the southeast of the project site. The intersection of Atlantic Boulevard and Bandini Boulevard near the Long Beach Freeway (1-710) currently operates at LOS E in the A.M. peak hour and LOS F in the P.m. peak hour. In August of 2004, the Gateway Cities Council of Governments made preliminary recommendations to improve the Atlantic/ Bandini interchange, as well as to build truck ramps directly from the rail yards to the freeway. The improvements to this interchange are expected to be completed prior to 2030, but are contingent upon State approvals and funding. The City has recently completed a project to relieve congestion at the Atlantic/Bandini interchange through the extension of 26th Street to Bandini Boulevard. In the vicinity of the project site, 26 1h Street runs parallel to and approximately 1,000 feet north of Bandini Boulevard. This extension provides a means for through traffic to bypass the Atlantic/Bandini interchange. Furthermore, the City has improved traffic signals at this intersection, as well as the intersection of Bonnie Beach Place and Bandini Boulevard, as well as install a new traffic signal at Bonnie Beach Place and 26 th Street. Therefore, based on all of the above, the project's impacts associated with increased traffic would be less than significant and no mitigation measures will be necessary. 6. OPERATIONS Waste Management proposes to develop an autoclave facility consisting of two autoclaves, approximately 8 feet by 32 feet in size within an existing 13,637 square foot industrial warehouse including the addition of 756 square feet for the compactor enclosure in the City of Vernon (the City). The autoclave facility will accept, handle, and treat regulated medical wastes (RMW) and wastes regulated by the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) that are delivered to the site. In addition, medical and dental universal wastes and pharmaceutical wastes will be temporarily stored and transferred at the facility. Medical waste is defined in Section 117635 of the California Health and Safety Code. Regulated medical waste is generated by hospital, surgery centers, doctor's offices, clinics, police and fire departments, laboratories and veterinary offices and research centers. RMW includes, but not limited to, biomedical waste (e.g., laboratory cultures, human surgical.specimens, animal tissues and carcasses) and sharps, waste (e.g., hypodermic needles, blades, needles, syringes, broken blood vials). The Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) is governed by the US Department of Agriculture (USDA) under CFR 9. APHIS wastes include foreign products imported by cruise ships or ocean shipping companies as well as genetically engineered specimens that pose a threat to the nation's agriculture industry or regulated by the USDA. Waste Management's proposed autoclave facility, located at 4280 Bandini Boulevard, will consist of two autoclaves that will accept, treat, and transfer both regulated medical waste and APHIS waste. The proportion of the waste processed at the facility will be approximately 97% percent regulated medical waste and 3% percent APHlS waste. The autoclave is a pressure vessel constructed to the ASME Code that uses steam to render the waste non-infectious. Steam for the process will be provided by a gas fired industrial boiler located on the site. The autoclave facility is designed to operate 24 hours a day, seven days a week. As previously mentioned, the waste will be transported to the autoclave facility by a fleet of trucks in containers approved for such purpose. These trucks will include tractor trailers ranging from 28 feet to 53 feet (75 feet long with cab), including the use of doubles (two-28 foot trailers coupled together), as well as bobtail trucks that are 26 feet (34 feet with cab). Once the waste is received by the facility, it will be transferred into autoclave bins. The empty containers that are used to transfer the waste from the trucks to the facility will be sent to the container washer for decontamination. Once washed, the empty, containers are then either placed in a staging area or reloaded on trucks for transport back to customers. The autoclave bins containing the wastes will be placed on a conveyor system that will transfer the bins to and from the two autoclaves and to and I from the trash compactor. Once an autoclave is loaded, steam will be injected into the autoclave for a treatment cycle of approximately an hour. Once the cycle is complete, the waste will be deemed decontaminated and become municipal solid waste. The autoclave bins will then be conveyed to a waste compactor, where the wastes will be dumped, compacted, and dumped into receiving containers. Empty autoclave bins will be sequenced back to the waste dumping station to be filled with waste. The solid waste dumped into the receiving containers will be transferred off site for final disposal at a Class III (municipal waste) landfill. The cycle will then repeat itself. The proposed autoclaves will be designed to handle approximately 5000 pounds per load with 20 to 23 cycles a day. The autoclaves will have a combined capacity to process 100 tons a day of waste. The plant will begin operation with one autoclave installed. The initial staff of the autoclave facility will be comprised of 4 plant employees plus one supervisor per shift. Shifts will be added reaching three shifts a day as warranted to accommodate the flow of wastes requiring treatment. The second autoclave will be installed when waste volumes warrant the use of a second autoclave. Personnel will also be added to shifts as needed to handle operation levels. One supervisor and 7 plant employees is the projected full compliment of a plant shift. Full operation of the facility is anticipated in 2016. All plant personnel and drivers will be required to participate in Waste Management's safety programs. The safety training will be ongoing and tailored for transporting and handling of waste streams. One section of training will address compliance with the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) Bloodbome Pathogen Standard. This standard will minimize exposure risk to the employees. An Exposure Control Plan will be in place during the operational life of the facility. The Exposure Control Plan will set forth standard operating procedures to prevent worker exposure to infectious wastes. Workers will be trained to handle unusual incidents such as spills or equipment failures so that potential exposure to infectious agents will not occur. Any spill that occurs on -site will be cleaned up immediately with a disinfecting 10 solution. In addition, to ensure worker safety, operating personnel will be required to wear certain personnel protective equipment (PPE). PPE will include, but not be limited to uniforms, steel toe boots, gloves, safety glasses, face shields, aprons and dust masks. The type of PPE required will be dependent on the personnel's particular job task. 7.

Vernon Autoclave Vernon Autoclave Project - Operations Plan Medical waste is defined in Section 117635 of the California Health and Safety Code. Regulated medical waste is generated by hospital, surgery centers, doctor's offices, clinics, police and fire departments, laboratories and veterinary offices and research centers. RMW includes, but not limited to, biomedical waste (e.g., laboratory cultures, human surgical specimens, animal tissues and carcasses) and sharps waste (e.g., hypodermic needles, blades, needles, syringes, broken blood vials. The Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) is governed by the US Department of Agriculture (USDA) under CFR 9. APHIS wastes include foreign products imported by cruise ships or occan shipping companies as well as genetically engineered specimens that pose a threat to the nation's agriculture industry or regulated by the USDA. Waste Management's proposed autoclave facility, located at 4280 East Bandini Boulevard, would consist of two autoclaves that would accept, treat, and transfer both regulated medical waste and APHIS waste. The proportion of the waste processed at the facility would be approximately 97 percent regulated medical waste and 3 percent APHIS waste. The autoclave is a pressure vessel constructed to the ASME Code that uses steam to render the waste non-infectious. Steam for the process would be provided by a gas fired industrial bollcr located on the site. The autoclave facility is designed to operate 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The waste would be transported to the autoclave facility by a fleet of trucks in containers approved for such purpose. These trucks would include tractor trailers ranging from 28 feet to 53 feet (75 feet long with cab), including the use of doubles (two-28 foot trailers coupled together), as well as bobtail trucks that are 26 feet (34 feet with cab). Once the wastes are received by the facility, they would be transferred into autoclave bins. The empty containers that are used to transfer the waste from the trucks to the f ility would be sent to the container washcr for decontamination. Once washed, the faci I empty containers are then either placed in a staging area or reloaded on trucks for transport back to customers. The autoclave bins containing the wastes would be placed on a conveyor system that would transfer the bins to and from two autoclaves and to and from the trash compactor. Once an autoclave is loaded, steam would be injected into the autoclavc for a treatment cycle of approximately an hour. Once the cycle is complete, the waste would be deemed decontarninated and municipal solid waste. The autoclave bins would then be conveyed to a waste compactor, where the wastes would be durnped, compacted, and dumped into receiving containers. Empty autoclave bins would be sequenced back to the waste durnping station to be filled with waste. The solid waste dumped into the receiving containers would be transferred off site for final disposal at a Class III (municipal waste) landfill. The cycle would then repeat itself. Vernon Autoclave Project - Operations Plan (continued) Each of the project's two autoclavcs would be designed to handle approximately 5000 pounds per load with 20 to 23 cycles a day. The autoclaves would have a combined capacity to process 100 tons a day of waste. The plant would begin operation with one autoclave installed. The initial staff of the autoclave facility would be comprised of 4 plant employees plus one supervisor per shift. Shifts would be added reaching three shifts a day as warranted to acconin-iodate the flow of wastes requiring treatment. The second autoclave would be installed when waste volumes warrant the use of a second autoclave. Personnel would also be added to shifts as needed to handle operation levels. One supervisor and 7 plant employees is the projected full compliment of a plant shift. Full operation of the facility is anticipated in 2016. All plant personnel and drivers would be required to participate in Waste Management's safety prograiris. The safety training would be ongoing and tailored for transporting and handling of RMW and APHIS waste. One section of training would address compliance with the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) Bloodbome Pathogen Standard. This standard would minimize exposure risk to the employees. An Exposure Control Plan would be in place during the operational life of the facility. The Exposure Control Plan would set forth standard operating procedures to prevent worker exposure to infectious wastes. Workers would be trained to handle unusual incidents such as spills or equipment failures so that potential exposure to infectious agents would not occur. Any spill that would occur on-sitc would be cleaned up immediately with a disinfecting solution. In addition, to ensure worker safety, operating personnel would be required to wear certain personnel protective equipment (PPE). PPE would include, but not be limited to uniforms, steel toe boots, gloves, safety glasses, face shields, aprons and dust masks. The type of PPE required would be dependent on the personnel's particular job task. & P 1, 1-, 1� S IRANSPORIAHON Cot?�ULIANTS TECHNICAL MEMORANDUM TO: Rachel Kwok, PCR Services FROM: Netai Basu and Julie Kentosh DATE: October 8, 2008 SUBJECT: Traffic Impact Assessment for Vernon Waste Management Autoclave Facility 4280 Bandini Boulevard Vernon, California Ref: LA07-2103 This memorandum summarizes the results of a traffic impact assessment conducted by Fehr & Peers for the proposed Vernon Waste Management Autoclave Facility project. Key issues investigated during this study th include trip generation for the proposed project and the ongoing roadway improvements on 26 Street. The proposed project, illustrated in Figure 1, would develop a biowaste disposal facility on the 2.23 acre lot at 4280 Bandini Boulevard in the City of Vernon. The site has a street frontage of 125 feet along Bandini Boulevard and a depth of approximately 884 feet. The site lies on the south side of Bandini Boulevard and is served by two driveways: one that forms the south leg of the signalized intersection of Bandini Boulevard & Bonnie Beach Place and another approximately 100 feet to the east. Existing buildings on the site include a 13,637 square foot (sf) warehouse with a small office area, and a 2,775 sf open metal canopy and 756 sf compactor/enclosure area behind the warehouse. The facility is planned to initially operate with one autoclave installed. An autoclave is a device used for hazardous medical waste disposal which renders the material inert by applying intense steam heat. Full operation of the facility, expected by 2016, would involve installation and use of a second autoclave. The on -site staff at full operation would include one supervisor, seven plant employees, and two office employees per shift, with three shifts per day. The project would also employ 14 drivers throughout four shifts. Upon full development with two autoclaves, the proposed project is estimated to generate approximately 138 trips over a 24-hour period, including four trips in the a.m. peak hour -and two trips in the p.m. peak hour. The proposed project would generate only about 5% of its total estimated daily trips during the a.m. and p.m. peak hours. The project would generate its highest traffic volumes between 4:00 and 7:00 a.m. and between 1:00 and 3:00 p.m., 201 Santa Monica Boulevard, Suite 500 Santa Monica, CA 90401 (310) 458-9916 Fax (31-0) 394-7663 www.fehrandpeers.com To: Ms. Rachel Kwok October 8, 2008 Page 2 with up to 17 trips in any one hour. Table 1 shows the estimated hourly trip generation for a 24- hour period. The existing Conditional Use Permit (CUP) for the project, approved in December 2005, regulates the use of the site by its current owner, USA Waste of California, Inc., as a solid waste vehicle storage yard. The existing CUP states that the currently entitled use generates approximately 110 vehicle trips per day. TRAFFIC IMPACT ANALYSIS In accordance with the City of Vernon standards, the level of services (LOS) analysis was conducted for the adjacent signalized intersection of Bandini Boulevard & Bonnie Beach Place using the Intersection Capacity Utilization (ICU) methodology. Level of Service Methodolog Intersection capacity calculations were conducted to measure the LOS of the intersection using an overall intersection capacity of 1,600 vehicles per hour per lane and by adding a factor of 0.10 to account for the clearance interval. The existing and projected volumes through a signalized intersection were compared to the capacity of the intersection to calculate the volume -to -capacity (V/C) ratio, the clearance interval was added, and then that ratio was used to determine the LOS at the intersection. LOS categories range from excellent, nearly free -flow traffic at LOS A, to overloaded stop -and -go conditions at LOS F. The LOS definitions are provided in Table 2 for signalized intersections. LOS D is typically considered the minimum acceptable LOS at signalized intersections in Vernon. Threshold for Determining Significance Based on information in Program Environmental Impact Report City of Vernon General Plan Update and Zoning Ordinance Revision (Hogle-Ireland, Inc., August 2007), a significant impact would occu� at an intersection if poor LOS operations are projected (LOS E or F), or if the project would substantially and adversely increase traffic there. Existing Conditions Traffic volumes at the intersection of Bandini Boulevard & Bonnie Beach Place were collected for the above -referenced environmental impact report (EIR). The traffic data was collected in 2007 and has been adjusted by an ambient growth rate of 0.5% per year, consistent with the growth factor used in the General Plan analysis, to represent year 2008 existing traffic conditions. The baseline traffic counts show that the a.m. peak hour is from 7:00 to 8:00 a.m. and, the p.m. peak hour is from 5:00 to 6:00 p.m. The ICU methodology was then used to determine that the intersection of Bandini Boulevard & Bonnie Beach Place operates under the following conditions: To: Ms. Rachel Kwok October 8, 2008 Page 3 • LOS C during the a.m. peak hour (V/C Ratio of 0.740) • LOS C during the p.m. peak hour (V/C Ratio of 0.714) Traffic volume data and LOS data sheets are included in the attachment. Existing Conditions plus Approved Proiect The operations report for the current CUP estimates that the project will generate approximately 110 vehicle trips per day. This estimate is based on one inbound trip and one outbound trip for each employee. This prediction appears to be conservative, as it does not account for traffic generated by truck activity at the site. Traffic volumes at the intersection of Bandini Boulevard & Bonnie Beach Place were projected to,include peak hour trips generated by the approved use (zero in the, a.m. peak hour and two in the p.m. peak hour). The intersection is forecast to continue operating acceptably in both peak hours: • LOS C during the a.m. peak hour (V/C ratio 0.740) • LOS C during the p.m. peak hour (V/C ratio 0.716) Existing Conditions plus Proposed Project Traffic volumes at the intersection of Bandini Boulevard & Bonnie Beach Place were estimated based on the planned operation of the proposed autoclave facility. In order to provide a conservative analysis, full operation of the autoclave was assumed. The estimated project trip generation is 138 trips per day, including four trips in the morning peak hour (7:00 to 8:00 a.m.) and two trips in the afternoon peak hour (5:00 to 6:00 p.m.). The intersection is forecast to continue operating acceptably in both peak hours: • LOS C during the a.m. peak hour (V/C ratio 0.742) • LOS C during the p.m. peak hour (V/C ratio 0.716) 2016 FUTURE TRAFFIC PROJECTIONS Oncloing Street Improvements The Redevelopment Agency of the City of Vernon has begun construction on major improvements to 26"' Street. In the vicinity of the project site, 26 th Street runs parallel to and approximately 1,000 feet north of Bandini Boulevard. Traffic accessing the site to and from the east via Bandini Boulevard is typically affected by congestion at the intersection of Atlantic Boulevard & Bandini Boulevard near the Long Beach Freeway (1-710). That intersection currently operates at LOS E in the a.m. peak hour and LOS F in the p.m. peak hour. East to west access near Atlantic Boulevard will be improved by extending 26 1h Street over Atlantic Boulevard to connect with Bandini Boulevard east of the 1-710 interchange. To: Ms. Rachel Kwok October 8, 2008 Page 4 In 1999, Kaku Associates, Inc. prepared Traffic Study for the 1-71OIAtlantic BoulevardlBandini Boulevard Interchange Project Peport and Environmental Document. This document included an analysis of the potential traffic shifts onto 26"' Street from Bandini Boulevard. Based on data in that study, the following traffic shifts were estimated: • Eastbound a.m. peak hour: 11 % of through traffic will shift to 26t" Street. • Westbound a.m. peak hour.- 6% of through traffic will shift to 26 1h Street. • Eastbound p.m. peak hour: 8% of through traffic will shift to 26 1h Street. • Westbound p.m. peal hour: 6% of through traffic will shift to 26 th Street. 2016 Conditions plus Approved REgject Traffic volumes for the approved project in 2008 were adjusted by an ambient growth rate of 0.5% per year to reflect 2016 conditions. It was projected that the intersection of Bandini Boulevard 0'( Bonnie Beach Place would continue operating acceptably in both peak hours: * LOS C during the a.m. peak hour (V/C ratio of 0.736) * LOS C during the p.m. peak hour (V/C ratio of 0.708) 2016 Conditions plus Proposed Proiect Traffic volumes for the proposed project were adjusted by an ambient growth rate of 0.5% per year to reflect 2016 conditions. It was estimated that the intersection of Bandini Boulevard & Bonnie Beach Place would continue operating acceptably in both peak hours: • LOS C during the a.m. peak hour (V/C ratio of 0.738) • LOS C during the p.m. peak hour (V/C ratio of 0.708) SITE ACCESS AND INTERNAL CIRCULATION The eastern driveway is expected to be used as a two-way driveway and the western driveway as an outbound -only driveway. The eastern driveway would accommodate left turns and right turns into the site, as well as right turns out of the site. The western driveway would be used for exiting left -turn and through movements, as it forms the south leg of the signalized intersection of Bandini Boulevard & Bonnie Beach Place. An analysis was performed using the AutoTURN software package to confirm that the proposed ingress/egress patterns would be possible for vehicles of various sizes. It is assumed that any vehicle can access the site if it is accessible by a truck with a 53 foot trailer. Figures 2 through 10 confirm the ability for trucks to access the site. It is noted that the largest truck likely to access the site would need to use part of the two-way left -turn lane on Bandini Boulevard when exiting the site to the east, as shown in Figure 3. While this is not a major concern, given the To: Ms. Rachel Kwok October 8, 2008 Page 5 low volumes there, it may be desirable to direct drivers of the large vehicles to exit the site via the western driveway. The ability for large trucks to maneuver within the site itself as proposed is shown in Figure 11, As shown, the ability of large trucks to turn around in the rear area of the site is constrained by the proposed location of three standard automobile parking spaces parallel to the eastern property line behind the canopy. To address this situation, it is recommended that these three parking spaces be relocated as shown in red in Figure 11: one perpendicular space north of the truck parking spaces, one parallel space north of that and one space located closer to the rear of the property. The proposed number of parking spaces provided on the site would not be affected by this minor change. CONCLUSIONS The site is generally an off-peak generator, with approximately 5% of the total estimated daily trips being generated during the a.m. and p.m. peak hours. The project would add four trips during the a.m. peak hour and two trips during the p.m. peak hour. The trip generation during any one hour is estimated to be 17 or fewer trips. The number of trips generated during the peak hours is similar to or less than that for the approved project on the site, and is therefore not considered significant. Even without consideration of the currently approved use on the site, the proposed project would generate very little traffic in any one hour and would therefore not result in significant traffic impacts on the surrounding street system. Site access and internal circulation was reviewed and the ability of large trucks to access the site and to maneuver within it was evaluated using the AutoTURN software package. The proposed site access scheme, in which the eastern driveway would accommodate left turns and right turns into the site, as well as right turns out of the site and the western (signalized) driveway would be used for exiting left-tUrn and through movements, is appropriate. A recommendation was made to relocate three of the proposed automobile parking spaces within the site to ensure that large trucks will be able to maneuver within the site itself without undue difficulty. w C/) o z 4� Cl) Cf) LIJ C) 0 140 T- LU Ir D 0 LL oij LU AOL U) A '110 z 01 0 ck, > . . .

Emergency Procedures Briefly describe your business standard operating procedures in the event of a release or threatened release of hazardous materials: 1 PREVENTION (prevent the hazard) - Describe the kinds of hazards associated with the hazardous materials present at your facility. What actions would your, business take to prevent these hazards from occurring? You may include a discussion of safety and storage procedures. This facility will handle Regulated Medical Waste including, but not limited to, biomedical wastes (e.g., laboratory cultures, human surgical specimens, animal tissues and carcasses) and sharps waste (e.g., hypodermic needles, blades, needles, syringes, broken blood vials). Regulated Medical Waste is not considered hazardous. However, Waste Management will follow all exposure prevention practices typically implemented at such facilities. Hazardous materials expected to be potentially present at this site will originate as follows: 1) From chemicals used for operation and maintenance of the facility. 2) Radioactive waste found in Regulated Medical Waste containers. Chemicals considered hazardous due to their physical condition (e.g. pressurized gas) or chemical makeup (e.g. Hydraulic Fluid) will be stored in designated areas (see site plan included in this section). Hazardous waste generated, if any, will be disposed off by a third party licensed vendor under applicable chain of custody procedures. Waste Management will obtain a unique EPA ID number as a small quantity hazardous waste generator at this facility. There will be no accumulation of waste beyond the 90 day period allowed by DTSC. Containers with radioactive waste commingled with regulated medical waste, detected during the routine load check program, will be held in a segregated radioactive waste holding area. Containers with levels that require notification of DHS are handled per their instructions which would require the waste to be returned to the customer. A container with a low level of radiation will be held on site for a short period of time until the radiation levels decline to acceptable background levels. The containers with regulated medical waste that have decayed to acceptable levels will then be re-entered into the treatment process. 2. MITIGATION (reduce the hazard) - Describe what is done to lessen the harm or the damage to person(s), property, or the environment, and prevent what has occurred from getting worse or spreading. What is your immediate response to a leak, spill, fire, explosion, or airborne release at y ur business? All on -site personnel would be required to wear protective gear while working in areas where hazardous materials handling operations occur. Protective gear will include the following: chemical protective suits; water resistant, steel toed boots; and appropriate chemical resistant gloves. Additionally, face shields and aprons will be provided. All project personnel will undergo a worker safety training program to improve worker safety. Workers will be properly trained to ensure that injuries due to manual moving and lifting of waste containers would be minimized. Workers will also be trained to handle unusual incidents such as spills or equipment failures so that potential exposure would be limited to the extent feasible. An Exposure Control Plan will be in place during the operational life of the facility. The Exposure Control Plan will instruct workers on proper work practices as well as proper protective equipment. The plan will designate supervisors responsible for enforcing exposure control procedures and will be updated as necessary. If any employees should be involved in an incident where exposure may have occurred, the following steps will be taken: 1. Investigate the circumstances surrounding the exposure incident, City of Vernon CUPA: Application Package 19 Last -Updated: 6/2003 3cd/CUPAAppPack City of Vernon CUPA Business Application Package 2. Make sure that the exposed employee(s) receive medical treatment and consultation (if required) as quickly as possible. The procedures for identifying the exposure and providing assistance to deal with this situation will also be outlined in the Exposure Control Plan. In case of an emergency such as a spill, leak, fire, etc., the local fire department will be summoned by dialing 911. 3. ABATEMENT (remove the hazard) - Describe what you would do to stop and remove the hazard. How do you handle the complete process of stopping a release, cleaning up, and disposing of released materials at your facility? Any spills that occur on -site will be immediately cleaned -up. All on -site personnel involved in cleaning up the hazardous material spill will be required to wear protective gear while working in areas where hazardous waste handling occurs. Protective gear will include the following: chemical protective suits; water resistant, steel toed boots; and chemical resistant gloves. Additionally, face shields and aprons will be available. A disinfectant, cleaning solution will be sprayed onto the spill area to ensure that the area is sanitized. The area will then be cleaned up with a mop and bucket. All tools used in the spill clean-up process will be disinfected and cleaned. Spill kits will be available throughout the facility and will consist of waste manifests, chemical protective suit, barricade tape, duct tape, paper towels, gloves, germicidal soap, masks, shovel, broom, etc. The waste generated from cleanup, if any, will be disposed off as stated in Section 1 (Prevention) above.

If the substance is a waste, check only that box. If the substance is a mixture or waste, complete the hazardous components section. 212. RADIOACTIVE, Check'Yes' if the hazardous materrial is radioactive or "No" if it is not. 213. CURIES If the material is radioactive, report the activity in curies; use up to nine digits with a floating decimal point to report activity in curies. 214. PHYSICAL STATE, Check the one box that best describes the state in which the hazardous material is handled: solid, liquid or gas. 215. ��j��JNER Enter the total capacity of.the largest he material is stored. 216. FEDERAL HAZARD CATEGORIE5 Check all categories that describe the physical and health hazards associated with the hazardous material. Fire: Flammable Liquids and Solids, Combustible Liquids, Pyrophorics, and Oxidizers. Pressure Release: Explosives, Compressed Gases, and Blasting Agents. Acute Health (immediate): Highly Toxic, Toxic, Irritants, Sensitizers, Corrosives, and other chemicals with an adverse effect with short-term exposure. Reactive: Unstable Reactive, Organ ic Peroxides, Water Reactive, and Radioactive. Chronic Health (Delayed): Carcinogens, Teratogens, Mutagens, and other chemicals with an adverse effect with long-term exposure. 217. AVERAGE DAILY AMOUNT Calculate the average daily amount of The hazardous material or mixture containing a hazardous material that you project to be on hand during the course of the year. Since most businesses tend to order materials, and only reorder their materials when they are nearly gone, their Average Daily Amount (ADA) tends to be equivalent to half of the largest shipment of a hazardous material delivered in the prior calendar year, plus the residual material that always remains. For example, if I had a machine that always has 50 gallons of solvent, and my largest order in the calendar year is 500 gallons of solvent, my ADA will be 300 gallons (1/2 ofthe 500 gallons received is 250 gallons, plus the 50 gallons in my machine). Assuming you use your hazardous materials at a fairly consistent rate, half the time you would have more than this amount, and half the time you would have less than this quantity. This amount should be consistent with the units reported. 218. MAXIMUM DAILY AMOUNT Enter the maximum amount of each hazardous material or mixture containing a hazardous material, which is handled in a building or adjacent/outside area at any one time over the course of the year. This amount must contain at a minimum last year's inventory of the material reported on this page, with the reflection of additions, deletions, or revisions projected for the current year. This amount should be consistent with the units reported in box 221. 219. ANNUaL WASTE AMOUNT If the hazardous material being inventoried is a waste, provide an estimate of the annual amount handled. 220. STAIE WASIg CODE If the material is a waste, enter the California 3-digit hazardous waste code from the Uniform Hazardous Waste Manifest. 221. UNITS Check the unit of measure that is most appropriate for the material being reported on this page: gallons, pounds, cubic feet or tons' NOTE: If the material is a federally defined Extremely Hazardous Substance (EHS), all amounts must be reported in pounds. If materiai is a mixture containing an EHS, report the units that the material is stored in (gallons, pounds, cubic feet, or tons). 222.

Combustible Dust: Dust with pulverized particles that, if mixed with air in the proper proportions, becomes explosive and may be ignited by a flame, a spark, or other source of ignition. Compressed Gas: A material or mixture of materials which is a gas at 680F (20'C) or less at 14.7 psia (1 01.3kPa) of pressure and has a boiling point of 68*F (20'C) or less at 14.7 psia (101.3 kPa) which is either liquefied, nonliquefied or in solution, except those gases which have no other health or physical hazard properties are not considered to be compressed until the pressure in the packaging exceeds 41 psia (292.5 kPa) at 68'F (20'C). The states of a compressed gas are categorized as follows: (a) Nonliquefied compressed gases are gases, other than those in solution, which are in a packaging under the charged pressure and are entirely gaseous at a temperature of 68*F (20'C). (b) Liquefied compressed gases are gases that, in a pa ' ckaging under the charged pressure, are partially liquid at a temperature of 68*F (20*C). (c) Compressed gases in solution are nonliquefied gases that are dissolved in a solvent. (d) Compressed gas mixtures consist of a mixture of two or more compressed gases contained in a packaging, the hazard properties of whichare represented by the properties of the mixture as a whole. - Corrosive Compressed Gas: A compressed gas that also meets the criteria for a corrosive material. - Flammable Compressed Gas: A material which is a gas at 68'F (20'C) or less at 14.7 psia (101.3 kPa) of pressure [a material has a boiling point of 68OF (20'C) or less at 14.7 psia (101.3 kPa)] which is (a) ignitable at 14.7 psia (101.3 kPa) when in a mixture of 13 percent or less by volume with air or (b) has a flammable range at 14.7 psia (10 1.3 kPa) w ith air of at least 12 percent, regardless of the lower limit, The limits specified shall be determined at 14.7 psia (101.3 kPa) of pressure and a temperature of 68'F (20'C) in accordance with nationally recognized standards.

Do not drag, slide or roll cylinders. Use a suitable hand truck for cylinder movement. Use a pressure reducing regulator when removing gas from the cylinder. DO NOT ALLOW THE FREE GAS TO EXCEED ' 30 PSIA (207 kPa) @ 70*F (21.1%). Do not heat cylinder by any means to increase the discharge rate of product from the cylinder. Use a check valve or trap in the discharge line to prevent hazardous back flow into the cylinder. For additional recommendations, consult Compressed Gas Association's Pamphlets G-1, P-1, P-14 and Safety Bulletin SB-2. SPECIAL STORAGE RECOMMENDATIONS Protect cylinders from physical damage. Store in cool, dry, well -ventilated area of non-combustible construction away from heavily trafficked areas and emergency exits. Do not allow the temperature where cylinders are stored to exceed 130F (54C). Cylinders must be stored upright and firmly secured to prevent falling or being Anocked over. Full and empty cylinders should be segregated. Use a "first in -first out" inventory system to prevent full cylinders being stored for excessive periods of time. Post "No Smoking or Open Flames" signs in the storage or use area. There should be no sources of ignition in the storage or use area. For additional recommendations, consult Compressed Gas Association Is- Pamphlets G-1, P-1. P-14, and Safety Bulletin SB-2. SPECIAL PACKAGING RECOMMENDATIONS Since acetylene will explode or combust if its pressure exceeds 30 psia (207 kPa) it is shipped dissolved in acetone or dimethy1formamide which is dispersed in a porous mass within the cylinder. Follow your supplier's instructions for the maximum withdrawal rate for each size cylinder so that solvent is not withdrawn with the acetylene. Most metals except silver, copper, mercury or brasses with more than 66% copper are compatible (non corrosive) with acetylene. 07HER RECOMMENDATIONS OR PRECAUTIONS Earth -ground and bond all lines and equipment associated with the acetylene system.

Contents Under Pressure. As defined by OSHA's Hazard Communication Standard, this product is hazardous. Potential Health Effects: EYE: May cause slight temporary eye irritation. Vapors may irritate the eyes at concentrations of 100 ppm. SKIN: Short single exposure may cause skin irritation. Prolonged exposure may cause severe skin irritation, even a burn. A single prolonged exposure is not likely to result in the material being absorbed through skin in harmful amounts. INHALATION: Dizziness may occur at concentrations of 200 ppm. Progressively higher levels may also cause nasal irritation, nausea, incoordination, and drunkenness. Very high levels or prolonged exposure could lead to unconsciousness and death. INGESTION: Single dose oral toxicity is considered to be extremely low. Swallowing large amounts may cause injury if aspirated into the lungs. This may be rapidly absorbed through the lungs and result in injury to other body systems. CHRONIC EFFECTS: Repeated contact with skin may cause drying or flaking of skin. Excessive or long term exposure to vapors may increase sensitivity to epinephrine and increase myocardial Irritability. TARGET ORGANS: Central nervous system. Possibly liver and kidney.

Oxygen is the "vital element" in the atmosphere in which we live and breathe (approxiniately 21 molar (volume)- percent of the atmosphere). The minimum oxygen content in workplace air is 18% by volume under normal *atmospheric pressure, equivalent to a partial pressure, pO2 of 135 torr, (ACGIH 19891-90). asTmr rut" up UAVUSUMP. 2,e rimary route ofentry is inhalation. Acute health effects: Adults can satisfactorily breathe pure xylg� enf0 0 extended periods at 0,33 atm, or at I atin for several days at less than 5 hours a day. However, irritation to mucous membranes may occur when 100% oxygen is inhaled continuously for several hours. Chest pains and cough can result from breathing 0., at I atin for 8 to 24 hours or 2 atm for 2 to 3 hours or from an atmosphere of 60% oxygen for several days. Breathing high concentrations greater than 75 (molar) percent by volume at atmospheric pressure for more than a few hours causes symptoms of hyperoxia (high oxygen exposure) with a variety. of central nervous system effects. These symptoms include cramps, nausea, dizziness, hypothermia (low bo �y temperature),-amb lopia (diminished vision), nasal stuffiness, cough, sore throat, chest pain, respirator ydifficult i ycardia (slow heart rate), fainting spells, and convulsions capable o) leading to death. Breathin oxygen at higher pressures increases the likelihood of adverse effects within a shorter time period.: A; additional data on hyperoxia (high oxygen e#fosure) as it relates to oxygen pressure and exposure -duration, refer to LAir Liquide'o Encyclopedie des Gaz. Chronic health effects: None es U-blished.; Medical conditions general[ly aggravated by exposure; See NOTES TO PHYST- 4QJAN, below. NOTES TOPWSICIAN.- Supportive treatment should include immediate sedation, anti -convulsive therapy if needed, and rest. Animal studies suggest that the administration of certain drugs, including phenothiazine drugs and chlororine increases the susceptibility to toxicity from oxygen at high concentrations or pressures. Ani k stuaies also indicate that vitamin E deficiency may increase susceptibility to oxygen toxicity. Airway obstruction during high oxygen tension may cause alveolar collapse following absorption of the oxygen. Similarly, occlusion of the eustachian tubes may cause retraction of the eardrum, and obstruction.of the paranasal sinuses may produce "vacuum -type" headache. Newborn premature infants exposed to high oxygen concentrations may suffer delayed retinal damage which can progress to retinal detachment and blindneis (retrolental fibroplasia). Retinal damage can also occur in adults exposed to 100% oxygen under greater than atnidspheric pressure, particularly in individuals whose retinal circulation has been �previously compromised. All individuals exposed for long periods to oxygen at high pressure and all who exhibit overt oxygen toxicity should have ophthalmologic examinations'. as 0 " swaWri of Womoon heroin 1w pwcMsw'v p-p—& -0 wassarily pwcha"M respoft"My.

'LAC 05127 (WWI) SPECIAL STORAGE RECOMMENDATIONS Protect cylinders from physical damage. Store in clean, cool, dry, well -ventilated area away from he trafficked areas and emergency exits, away from combustibles and away from full or empty staovre cylinders which contain flammable products. Do not allow the temperature where cylinders are stored to exceed 125'F(52*C). Cylinders should be stored upright and firmly secured to prevent falling or being knocked over. Full and empty cylinders should be segregated. Use a "first in - first out" inventory system to prevent full cylinders being stored for excessive penWs of time. For addifionW swags rec=nwdellom see Reliwence sectbn on this page. SPECIAL PACKAGING RECOMMENDATIONS - Carbon steels and low alloy steels are acceptable for use at lower pressures (less than 1,000 psig). For' hig er( 2900 psig) pressure applications, use stainless steels, copper and its alloys, nickel and its alloys, br s, bronze, silicon alloys, Monel@, InconelO, or beryllium. Lead and silver or lead and tin alloys are gasketing materials, Teflon@ and Kel-F@ are the preferred nonmetal gaskets, CGA valve outlet or oxygen gas is CGA 540 (to 3,000 psig); CGA 870 for medical gas pin -indexed yoke connection. Special Note: It -should be recognized that the ignition temperature of metals and nonmetals in pure decreases oxygen service with increasing oxygen pressure. For additional information refer to L'Air Liquide's Encyclope,die des Gaz. It is also important to avoid high gas velocities which tend to increase the possibility of iinition by friction, impact and static discharge. Refer to Compressed Gas Association Pamphlet G-4.4 for velocity limits. OTHER RECOMMENDATIONS OR PRECAUTIONS Oxygen must not be used as a substitute for compressed air in pneumatic equipment since this type generally contains flammable lubricants. Do not use oil or grease to lubricate the valve on an oxygen cylinder or regulator. Equipment to containoxygen must be "cleaned for oxygen service" and rated for cylinder pressure.

Small concentrations may produce rapid breathing and headaches. Moderate concentrations may -produce mild intoxication, drowsiness, 2 dizziness, visual disturbances, muscular weakness, and lack of coordination. High concentrations produce Intoxication followed by loss of consciousness, asphyxiation, and death. First Aid - Inhalatign: Immediately move personnel to an area of fresh air. For respiratory distress, give air, oxygen or administer CPR if necessary. Obtain medical attention if breathing difficulties continue. SKIN Route of Exposurg - Skin In it's gas form, this material is non -irritating and is not expected to be absorbed through the skin; but direct contact with the liquified/pressurized gas and frost particles can cause freeze bums (similar to that of frost bite), First Aid - Skin, Frozen tissue should be flooded or soaked with warm water. DO NOT USE HOT WATER! Cryogenic burni which result in blistering or deeper tissue freezing should be promptly seen by a physician. EYES Route of Exposure -Eyes: As a gas, this material is non -irritating; but direct contact with liquified /pressurized gas or frost particles may produce severe and possibly permanent eye damage from freeze bums. First Aid - Eyes: Vapors are not expected to present an eye irritation hazard. If contacted by liquid/solid, immediately flush eye(s) gently with warm water for at least 15 minutes. Seek medical attention if pain or redness persists. INGESTION Route of exposure - Ingestion: Solid, liquified, and pressurized forms of this gas can cause freeze bums. First Aide - Ingestion: Induce vomitinb with-wa, m water (one quart), only if patient is conscious. Immedialely obtain medical attention. 0 E V I;YMERI ZATION: TION 16' -1k' AdTV ItY P Stability: Stable May react with strong oxidizing agents, such as, chlorates, nitrates, peroxides, etc. Combustion may produce carbon monoxide and other harmful substances.

Evacuate the area immediately. Persons entering the contaminated area to correct the problem or to determine whether it is safe to resume normal activities must comply with all instructions in the Protective Measures & Equipment section. Ventilate enclosed areas to'prevent formation of flammable or oxygen -deficient atmosphere. Water spray may be used to reduce vapors. Closed systems form white frost at the point of leak. Liquid spills will vaporize forming a cold, dense vapor cloud that does not readily disperse, Avoid vapor cloud even with proper respiratory equipment. If tanks are involved in a fire, all non -essential personnel to an area upwind at least 112 mile in all directions. Stop source of release with non -sparking tools before putting out any fire. Tanks involved in fire should be kept cool by keeping a steady flow of water on them. Waste disposal method, Releases are expected to cause only localized non -persistent environmental damage. Waste mixtures containing these gases should not be 'allowed to enter drains or sewers where there is a danger of the vapors becoming ignited. When it becomes necessary to dispose of these gases, it is preferable to do so as a vapor. Unused product may be used as an auxiliary fuel or disposed by burning in properly designed flare or incinerator. Venting of gas to the atmosphere should be avoided. Defective, empty, or partially used portable containers should be returned to the supplier with appropriate tags. SEC I 'V SURES & PMENT...:. -PROTECT V. MEA. Ventilation: Local exhaust and general room ventilation may both be essential in work areas to prevent accumulation of explosive mixtures. If mechanical ventilation is used, electrical equipment must meet National Electrical Code requirements. Eye Protection: Use Chemical -type goggles and face shields when. handling liquified gases. Safety glasses and/or face shields are recommended when handling high-pressure cylinders and piping systems and whenever vapors are discharged. Skin Protection: Prevent potential skin contact with cold liquid/solid/vapors. Use insulated, impervious plastic or neoprene -coated canvas gloves and protective gear to protect hands and other skin areas. Respiratory Protection: For excessive gas concentrations, use only N10SH/NSHA- approved self-contained breathing apparatus. 4 .FROM FAX NO. Mar. 10 2003 02:47PM P1 Post-it,b Fax Note 7671 T.

SKW/sc Enclosure Of VP - COMMUNITY SERVICES & WATER DEPARTMENT OFFICE MEMORANDUM TO: Eric Fresch, City Administrator CC: City Council FROM: Samuel Kevin Wilson, Director of Community Services & Water DATE: January 7, 2009 SUBJECT: Conditional Use Permit — Waste Management Health Care Solutions located at 4280 Bandini Boulevard Attached herein is a copy of the staff report for Waste Management Health Care Solutions who has applied for a conditional use permit to operate a medical waste transfer station and tTeatment facility located at 4280 Bandini Boulevard in the City of Vernon. The staff report outlines Waste Management's proposed operation. The public hearing has been scheduled on January 12, 2009 for this matter. SKW/sc Attachment CITY OF VERNON COMMUNITY SERVICES DEPARTMENT STAFF REPORT ON WASTE MANAGEMENT HEALTH CARE SOLUTIONS CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT TO OPERATE A MEDICAL WASTE TRANSFER STATION AND TREATMENT FACILITY AT 4280 BANDINI BOULEVARD January 7, 2009 Waste Management Health Care Solutions ("Waste Management") has submitted an application for a conditional use permit to operate a medical waste transfer station and treatment facility located at 4280 Bandini Boulevard, Vernon California. Waste Management proposes to develop an autoclave facility consisting of two autoclaves, approximately 8 feet by 32 feet in size within an existing 13,637 square foot industrial warehouse including the addition of 756 square feet for the compactor enclosure at the I subject site. The autoclave facility will accept, handle, and treat regulated medical wastes (RMW) and wastes regulated by the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) that are delivered to the site. Construction and operation of the facility will comply with the California Medical Waste Management Act (MWMA). This facility is considered an "Off - Site Treatment Facility and Transfer Station" as defined by the MWMA. Construction will occur in two phases, with installation of the first autoclave occurring in Phase I and the second autoclave occurring in Phase 2, when waste volumes warrant the use of a second autoclave. Full operation of the facility (i.e., operation of second autoclave) is anticipated to occur in 2016. 1. GENERAL PLAN The proposed use is consistent with the Zoning Ordinance and General Plan. The site is located in the I -Zone, Industrial. Waste Management is considered a Medical Waste Facility. Medical Waste is defined as a waste, or combination of wastes, which because of its quantity, concentration, or physical, chemical, or infectious characteristics may either; (i) Cause, or significantly contribute to an increase in mortality or an increase in serious irreversible, or incapacitating reversible, illness. (11) Pose a substantial present or potential hazard to human health or environment when improperly treated, stored, transported, or disposed of, or otherwise managed. A Medical Waste Facility is not specifically permitted or specifically prohibited by the City's zoning ordinance and therefore a conditional use permit is required. 2. SITE The project site is located at 4280 Bandini Boulevard in the northern portion of the City of Vernon. Regional access to the proposed site is provided by the Long Beach Freeway (1-710) and the Santa Ana Freeway (1-5), approximately 0.6 mile to the east and 1.20 mile to the north, respectively. The nearest freeway on- and off -ramp is at the intersection of Bandini Boulevard, the 1-710, and Atlantic Boulevard. Local access is provided by Bandini Boulevard, which borders the site to the north. The irregularly shaped site consists of approximately 96,891 square feet or 2.23 acres of industrial land. The site has a street frontage of 125 feet along Bandini Boulevard and a depth of approximately 884 feet. The project site is located in a highly industrialized area. Large blocks of industrial buildings are adjacent to the east and west, with smaller industrial buildings located to the north across Bandini Boulevard. To the south of the site is the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power transmission line casement, the Los Angeles Junction Railroad track, which follows the concrete channel of the Los Angeles River. Additionally, a railroad spur enters the site from the south and parallels the PA western border of the site. This railroad spur was previously utilized for transporting flour to the project site. However, the use of these railroad spurs will no longer be utilized. Although there are limited uses currently on the site, the site operates as a truck terminal for solid waste collection vehicles under a Conditional Use Permit dated December 2005. Operations for the truck terminal included truck departures and returns, truck servicing (i.e., maintenance, repair, washing), truck and employee vehicle parking, refuse container storage and washing, and refuse container delivery and return. No refuse was allowed to be stored on -site. The truck terminal operated daily, 24 hours per day. In 2006, operations were cut back. However, the 2005 CUP approved for the site, allows for the continued operation of the truck terminal subject to a maximum of I 10 daily truck and vehicle trips per day (55 inbound and 55 outbound). Currently, the site is used primarily for refuse container storage for new contracts and overflows. Existing improvements on the site include a 20-foot high, concrete tilt -up warehouse with a small office area, a metal canopy (formerly used as a wash rack), and surface parking. Additionally, a chain -link fence is provided along the entire perimeter of the site with an entry gate on Bandini Boulevard. The approximately 13,637 square foot warehouse occupies the northern portion of the site and includes a small office area in the front as well as raised loading docks in the rear. The metal canopy is set apart from the warehouse and provides a covered area of approximately 2,775 square feet. Two used oil tanks, a trench drain, and an oil/water separator are located within the canopy area. The proposed site will be supported by a 20 stall surface parking lot, 10 track parking, and 4 loading stalls. Vehicle ingress and egress to the proposed site will be provided from Bandini Boulevard. Vehicles will enter the site via a two-way driveway on the eastern edge of the site, across from Bonnie Beach Place. Vehicles can exit the site via either driveway. The western driveway is controlled by a signal. The site is zoned 1, Industrial, which is intended to protect heavy industries from incompatible commercial, office, or residential uses. Additionally, the site (as with the entire City of Vernon) is designed as Industrial by the General Plan. The applicant has not proposed any changes to the size, shape, topography and drainage of the existing site for the proposed operation. 3. ADVERSE EFFECT The proposed use is surrounded by properties with industrial and warehousing uses that are compatible with the proposed use. Therefore, no adverse impacts from traffic, parking, noise, odor, dust, smoke, light or glare, or risk of fire, or explosion are expected to occur to the adjacent or abutting properties. An initial study has been conducted for the project in compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). No potentially significant impacts are expected to result from the project. The Director of Community Services & Water has recommended that a Notice of Intent be filed, and a Negative Declaration be adopted in compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA"), which identifies potentially significant impacts on the environment from the project. 4. ACCESS As previously mentioned, vehicle ingress and egress to the site is provided from Bandini Boulevard. Vehicles will enter the site via a two-way driveway on the eastern edge of the site, across from Bonnie Beach Place. Vehicles can exit the site via either driveway. The western driveway is controlled by a signal. The streets and highways surrounding the proposed site are adequate in width and are improved as neces'sary to carry the traffic expected by this proposed use. 5. VEHICLE MOVEMENTS The waste will be transported to the autoclave facility by a fleet of trucks in containers approved for such purpose. These trucks will include tractor trailers ranging from 28 feet to 53 feet (75 feet long with cab), including the use of doubles (two-28 foot trailers coupled together), as well as bobtail trucks that are 26 feet (34 feet with cab) During the two -month construction period, the export of construction waste materials (e.g., dirt, asphalt, and concrete) would result in additional truck traffic. However, construction track traffic will be minimal and will not be expected to cause an overloading of the capacity of the street system. Furthermore,such trips will generally occur during non -peak hours and will be temporary. During the operation of the project, plant employees as well as truck delivery personnel (drivers) will increase the existing traffic load on the street system. A Traffic Impact Assessment (TIA) has been prepared by Fehr and Peers/Kaku Associates to analyze the operational traffic impacts of the project. According to the existing CUP for the truck terminal uses that operated on -site, a maximum of I 10 daily track and vehicle trips are allowed per day (5 5 inbound and 5 5 outbound). Under the approved CUP, no trips will be generated in the A.M. peak hour 5 and two will be generated in the P.m. peak hour. With the proposed project, 138 track and vehicle trips per day will be generated upon full project build out, which includes four trips during the morning peak hour (7:00 A.M. to 8:00 A.M.) and two trips during the afternoon peak hour (5:00 P.m. to 6:00 P.M.). Thus, the project will result in a net increase of 28 trips. The project is generally an off-peak generator, with approximately five percent of the total estimated daily trips being generated during the A.M. and P.m. peak hours. Based on the Program Environmental Impact Report City of Vernon General Plan Update and Zoning Ordinance Revision (Hogle-Ireland, Inc., August 2007), a significant impact would occur at an intersection if poor LOS operations are projected (LOS E or F), or if the project would substantially and adversely increase traffic in that intersection. Therefore, in accordance with the City's standards, the TIA analyzed the- level of service (LOS) at the adjacent signalized intersection of Bandini Boulevard and Bonnie Beach Place due to the addition of project trips. Using the Intersection Capacity Methodology (ICU) contained in the 2000 Highway Capacity Manual (HCM 2000), it was estimated that under the Existing Conditions Plus approved CUP conditions and under the Existing Conditions Plus Project conditions, the intersection of Bandini Boulevard and Bonnie Beach Place will operate at acceptable LOS C during the A.M. and P.M. peak hours (as with existing conditions). In addition, in the Future 2016 Plus Approved CUP conditions and also in the Future 2016 (project build out year) Plus Project conditions with an ambient growth rate by 0.5 percent per year; this intersection will continue to operate at acceptable LOS C during the A.M. and P.M. peak hours. The project's increase in trips generated within the area could also contribute to the highly congested interchange of Bandim Boulevard and Atlantic Boulevard located approximately 0.56 miles to the southeast of the project site. The intersection of Atlantic Boulevard and Bandini Boulevard, near the Long Beach Freeway (1-710) currently operates at LOS E in the A.M. peak hour and LOS F in the P.M. peak hour. In August of 2004, the Gateway Cities Council of Governments made preliminary recommendations to improve the Atlantic/ Bandini interchange, as well as to build truck ramps directly from the rail yards to the freeway. The improvements to this interchange are expected to be completed prior to 2030, but are contingent upon State approvals and funding. The City has recently completed a project to relieve congestion at the Atlantic/Bandini interchange through the extension of 2611 Street to Bandini Boulevard. In the vicinity of the project site, 26th Street runs parallel to and approximately 1,000 feet north of Bandini Boulevard. This extension provides a means for through traffic to bypass the Atlantic/Bandini interchange. Furthermore, the City has improved traffic signals at this intersection, as well as the intersection of Bonnie Beach Place and Bandini Boulevard, as well as install a new traffic signal at Bonnie Beach Place and 26h Street. Therefore, based on all of the above, the project's impacts associated with increased traffic would be less than significant and no mitigation measures will be necessary. 6. OPERATIONS Waste Management proposes to develop an autoclave facility consisting of two autoclaves, approximately 8 feet by 32 feet in size within an existing 13,637 square foot industrial warehouse including the addition of 756 square feet for the compactor enclosure in the City of Vernon (the City). The autoclave facility will accept, handle, and treat regulated medical wastes (RMW) and wastes regulated by the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) that are delivered to the site. Medical waste is defined in Section 117635 of the California Health and Safety Code. Regulated medical waste is generated by hospital, surgery centers, doctor's offices clinics, police and fire departments, laboratories and veterinary offices and research centers. RMW includes, but not limited to, biomedical waste (e.g., laboratory cultures, human surgical specimens, animal tissues and carcasses) and sharps waste (e.g., hypodermic needles, blades, needles, syringes, broken blood vials). The Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) is governed by the US Department of Agriculture (USDA) under CFR 9. APHIS wastes include foreign products imported by cruise ships or ocean shipping companies as well as genetically engineered specimens that pose a threat to the nation's agriculture industry or regulated by the USDA. Waste Management's proposed autoclave facility, located at 4280 Bandini Boulevard, will consist of two autoclaves that will accept, treat, and transfer both regulated medical waste and APHIS waste. The proportion of the waste processed at the facility will be approximately 97% percent regulated medical waste and 3% percent APHIS waste. The autoclave is a pressure vessel constructed to the ASME Code that uses steam to render the waste non-infectious. Steam for the process will be provided by a gas fired industrial boiler located on the site. The autoclave facility is designed to operate 24 hours a day, seven days a week. As previously mentioned, the waste will be transported to the autoclave facility by a fleet of trucks in containers approved for such purpose. These trucks will include tractor trailers ranging from 28 feet to 53 feet (75 feet long with cab), including the use of doubles (two-28 foot trailers coupled together), as well as bobtail trucks that are 26 feet (34 feet with cab). Once the waste is received by the facility, it will be transferred into autoclave bins. The empty containers that are used to transfer the waste from the trucks to the facility will be sent to the container washer for decontamination. Once washed, the empty containers are then either placed in a staging area or reloaded on trucks for transport back to customers. The autoclave bins containing the wastes will be placed on a conveyor system that will transfer the bins to and from the two autoclaves and to and from the trash compactor. Once an autoclave is loaded, steam will be injected into the autoclave for a treatment cycle of approximately an hour. Once the cycle is complete, the waste will be deemed decontaminated and become municipal solid waste. The autoclave bins will then be conveyed to a waste compactor, where the wastes will be dumped, compacted, and dumped into receiving containers. Empty autoclave bins will be sequenced back to the waste dumping station to be filled with waste. The solid waste dumped into the receiving containers will be transferred off site for final disposal at a Class III (municipal waste) landfill. The cycle will then repeat itself. The proposed autoclaves will be designed to handle approximately 5000 pounds per load with 20 to 23 cycles a day. The autoclaves will have a combined capacity to process 100 tons a day of waste. The plant will begin operation with one autoclave installed. The initial staff of the autoclave facility will be comprised of 4 plant employees plus one supervisor per shift. Shifts will be added reaching three shifts a day as warranted to accommodate the flow of wastes requiring treatment. The second autoclave will be installed when waste volumes warrant the use of a second autoclave. Personnel will also be added to shifts as needed to handle operation levels. One supervisor and 7 plant employees is the projected full compliment of a plant shift. Full operation of the facility is anticipated in 2016. All plant personnel and drivers will be required to participate in Waste Management's safety programs. The safety training will be ongoing and tailored for transporting and handling of RMW and APHIS waste. One section of training will address compliance with the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) Bloodbome Pathogen Standard. This standard will minimize exposure risk to the employees. An Exposure Control Plan will be in place during the operational life of the facility. The Exposure Control Plan will set forth standard operating procedures to prevent worker exposure to infectious wastes. Workers will be trained to handle unusual incidents such as spills or equipment failures so that potential exposure to infectious agents will not occur. Any spill that occurs on -site will be cleaned up immediately with a disinfecting solution. In addition, to ensure worker safety, operating personnel will be required to wear certain personnel protective equipment (PPE). PPE will include, but not 10 be limited to uniforms, steel toe boots, gloves, safety glasses, face shields, aprons and dust masks. The type of PPE required will be dependent on the personnel's particular job task. 11 OF VRr YUAN Notice of Completion/initial Study To: Office of Planning and Research 1400 Tenth Street, Room 121 Sacramento, CA 95814 From: City of Vernon Community Services Department 4305 Santa Fe Avenue Vernon, CA 90058 Subject: Filing of Notice of Completion/Initial Study Project Title: Waste Management Health Care Solutions Project Location: 4280 Bandini Boulevard, Vernon CA County: Los Angeles Project Description: Waste Management Health Care Solutions ("Waste Management") has submitted an application for a conditional use permit to operate a medical waste transfer station and treatment facility located at 4280 Bandim Boulevard, Vernon CA.

Comment Letters and Responses LETTER NO.2 California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) District 7, Office of the Public Transportation and Regional Planning IGR/CEQA Branch 100 South Main Street Los Angeles, California 90012 RESPONSE TO COMA1ENT NO. 2-1 This comment confirms receipt and review of the Waste Management Autoclave Project Initial Study/Negative Declaration (Draft IS/ND). The comment also recommends that construction -related and project truck trips on congested commuter corridors of Interstate (1-710) Long Beach Freeway and Interstate 5 (1-5) Santa Ana Freeway be limited to off-peak commute periods. As discussed on page B-52 of the Draft IS/ND, the project would result in four truck trips during the morning peak hour and two truck trips during the afternoon peak hour, which would not - individually or cumulatively exceed the LOS established by the County for the designated roads and highways. The trips generated during the peak hours would be similar to that for the existing truck terminal uses on -site (zero in the A.M. peak hour and two in the P.M. peak hour), resulting in a net -- increase of four trips daily. As this would be a nominal increase when compared with the existing conditions, as indicated by the Traffic Memo prepared by Fehr and Peers and Associates, the project would not exceed any standards established by the CMP, and project impacts would remain less than significant. Nonetheless, the commenter's recommendation that construction related and project truck trips be limited to off-peak commute periods is acknowledged and will be forwarded to the City's decisionmakers for review and consideration.

Director of Community Services & Water City of Vernon 4305 Santa Fe Avenue Vernon, CA 90058 Dear Mr. Wilson: Conditional Use Permit for a Medical Waste Transfer Station and Treatment Facility at 4280 Bandini Boulevard, Vernon -- The County Sanitation Districts of Los Angeles County (Districts) received a Notice of Intent, Notice of Public Hearing, and Initial Study/Negative Declaration for the subject project on December 5, 2008. The.proposed development is located wtithin the jurisdictional boundaries of District No. 2. We offer the following comments regarding sewerage service: 1. The proposed project may require a Districts' permit for Industrial Wastewater Discharge. The project applicant should contact the Districts' Industrial Waste Section at extension 2900, in order to reach a determination on this matter. If this permit is necessary, the project applicant will be required to forward copies of final plans and supporting information for the proposed project to the Districts for review and approval before beginning project construction. For additional Industrial Wastewater Discharge Permit information, go to ww,,v.lacsd.or9-, Information Center, and Industrial Waste. 3-1 2. The wastewater flow originating from the proposed project will discharge directly to the Districts' 3-2 Joint Outfall H Unit 2G Trunk Sewer, located in Bandini Boulevard at Bonnie Beach Place. This 21-inch diameter trunk sewer has a design capacity of 6.2 million gallons per day (mgd) and conveyed a peak flow of 1.6 mgd when last measured in 2005. A direct connection to a Districts' trunk sewer requires a Trunk Sewer Connection Permit, issued by the Districts. For information regarding the permit, please contact the Public Counter at extension 1205. 3. The wastewater generated by the proposed project will be treated at the Joint Water Pollution 3-3 Control Plant located in the City of Carson, which has a design capacity of 400 mgd and currently processes an average flow of 301.2 mgd. .4. In order to estimate the volume of wastewater the project will generate, go. to w%vw.lacsd.orl?, Information'Center, Will Serve Program, Obtain Will Serve Letter, and click on the appropriate 3-4 link on page 2 for a copy of the Districts' average wastewater generation factors. Mr. Samuel Kevin Wilson -2- December 9, 2008 5. The Districts are authorized by the California Health and Safety Code to charge a fee for the privilege of connecting (directly or indirectly) to the Districts' Sewerage System or increasing the strength or quantity of wastewater attributable to a particular parcel or operation already connected. This connection fee is a capital facilities fee that is imposed in an amount sufficient to construct an incremental expansion of the Sewerage System to accommodate the proposed project. Payment of a connection fee will be required before a permit to connect to the sewer is issued. For a copy of the Connection Fee Information Sheet, go to www.laosd.org, Information Center, Will Serve Program, Obtain Will Serve Letter, and click on the appropriate link on page 2. For more specific information regarding the connection fee application procedure and fees, please contact the Connection Fee Counter at extension 2727. If an Industrial Wastewater Discharge Permit is required, connection fee charges will be determined by the Industrial Waste Section. 6. In order for the Districts to conform to the requirements of the Federal Clean Air Act (CAA), the design capacities of the Districts' wastewater treatment facilities are based on the regional growth forecast adopted by the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG). Specific policies included in the development of the SCAG regional growth forecast are incorporated into clean air plans, which are prepared by the South Coast and Antelope Valley Air Quality Management Districts in order to improve air quality in the South Coast and Mojave Desert Air Basins as mandated by the CAA. All expansions of Districts' facilities must be sized and service _ phased in a manner that will be consistent with the SCAG regional growth forecast for the counties of Los Angeles, Orange, San Bernardino, Riverside, Ventura, and Imperial. The available capacity of the Districts' treatment facilities will, therefore, be limited to levels associated with the approved growth identified by SCAG. As such, this letter does not constitute a guarantee of wastewater service, but is to advise you that the Districts intend to provide this service up to the levels that are legally permitted and to inform you of the currently existing capacity and any proposed expansion of the Districts' facilities. If you have any questions, please contact the undersigned at (562) 908-4288, extension 27I7. Very truly yours, Stephen R. Maguin J I Xaze,i� Ruth I.

Comment Letters and Responses LETTER NO.3 County Sanitation Districts of Los Angeles County (LACSD) - 1955 Workman Mill Road Whittier, California 90607-4998 RESPONSE TO COMMENT NO. 3-1 As indicated by the commenter and as indicated on page B-54 of the Initial Study/Negative Declaration (Draft IS/ND), the proposed project would be required to obtain an Industrial Wastewater Discharge Permit that would be forwarded to the District for review and approval prior to project construction. The plans and supporting information were submitted by the Applicant to the City on July 30, 2008, which was then forwarded to LACSD. RESPONSE TO COMMENT NO.3-2: This comment provides specific information on where wastewater would be discharged from the project site. According to the commenter, wastewater would be conveyed to a 21-inch diameter trunk sewer located on Bandini Boulevard at Bonnie Beach Place. The comment indicates that this sewer has a design capacity of 6.2 million gallons per day (mgd) and conveys a peak flow of 1.6 mgd from when last measured in 2005. As discussed on page B-58 of the Draft IS/ND, the project would generate approximately 14,691 gpd or 0.015 mgd of wastewater, which would result in an increase in discharge into the trunk sewer. However, this increase would be nominal when compared with the peak flows conveyed by the trunk sewer (based on last measured peak flow of 1.6 mgd in 2005). As such, project impacts to the existing sewer infrastructure remain less than significant and no further response is necessary. The comment regarding the required connection to the District's trunk sewer is — acknowledged as discussed on page B-57 of the Draft IS/ND. As indicated therein, the project would require payment of a connection fee for the privilege of connecting to the LACSD's sewer system. Payment of the connection fee is required before a Trunk Sewer Connection Permit can be issued by the LACSD. With payment of the connection fee, the nominal increase of wastewater generated by the project would have less than significant impacts as payment would support the incremental expansion of the system as new projects are developed. RESPONSE TO COMMENT NO.3-3: The commenter indicates that the project would be treated at the JWPCP. This is discussed on page B-57 of the Draft IS/ND. As indicated by the commenter, the JWPCP has a design capacity of 400 mgd and currently processes an average flow of 301.2 mgd. When compared with the 14,691 gallons of wastewater generated by the project per day, the project would represent approximately 0.004 percent of the design capacity of the JWPCP, and approximately 0.005 percent City of Vernon PCR Services Corporation Waste Management Autoclave Project February 2009 Page II-12 H.B. Comment Letters and Responses of the current average flows processed by the facility. As the project would require a nominal amount of wastewater to be treated by the JWPCP, impacts regarding wastewater treatment facilities would remain less than significant and no further response is necessary. RESPONSE TO COMMENT NO.3-4: The volume of wastewater estimated that the project would generate is based on wastewater generation factors that represent the standard amount of water demand required by the mechanical equipment per manufacturer specifications and other autoclaving operations (i.e., water softener, -- boiler, tub washer, wash down, boiler blowdowns, vacuum pump), as well as any additional sanitary wastewater (that may be generated by employees) on -site. The average wastewater generation factors provided on the LACSD website do not contain wastewater generation factors for autoclave uses. Therefore, a more accurate and detailed projection of the amount of wastewater that would be generated by the project is provided in the Draft IS/ND. Specifically, wastewater was calculated using Form B of the LACSD Industrial Wastewater Discharge Permit Application, accounting for both boiler equipment water losses, other equipment evaporate losses, and the amount of sanitary flow to be generated by project employees. The calculations provided take into account the number of days the facility would be in operation, as well as the number of hours, loads/cycles estimated per day. This response to comment does not provide new environmental information that changes the findings of the Draft IS/ND. As such, impacts remain less than significant and no mitigation measures would be necessary. RESPONSE TO COMMENT NO.3-5: The commenter indicates that the Districts are required to charge a connection fee for the privilege of connecting to the District's Sewerage System or for increasing the strength or quantity of wastewater attributable to a particular parcel or operation already connected. This comment is acknowledged, and is discussed on page B-57 of the Draft IS/ND. As indicated therein, as with all new development in the City, the project would be required to pay its fair share of fees for all industrial wastewater discharged to the public sewer system. In addition, under the Connection Fee Ordinance, the project would be required to pay fees for the privilege of connecting (directly or indirectly) to the LACSD's Sewer System or increasing the strength and/or quantity of wastewater attributable to a particular parcel or operation already connected. No further response is necessary. RESPONSE TO COMMENT NO.3-6: This comment provides information regarding the District's compliance with SCAQNID _. regulations in accordance with the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) regional growth forecast and projections. As discussed in Response to Comment No. 3-4 above, the JWPCP has a design capacity of 400 mgd and currently processes an average flow of 301.2 mgd. -- When compared with the 14,691 gallons of wastewater generated by the project per day, the project would represent approximately 0.004 percent of the design capacity of the JWPCP, and approximately 0.005 percent of the current average flows processed by the facility.

The proposed project will consist of transferring and treating of medical waste from generators such as hospitals, laboratories, dialysis centers, medical clinics or other producers of medical waste. We offer the following comments for your consideration: Solid Waste Current estimates indicate that daily solid waste generation in Los Angeles County will exceed the available daily disposal capacity in the near future. The construction and demolition of the proposed project and the operation over the life of the project will increase the generation of solid waste and negatively impact the solid waste management infrastructure. Therefore, the proposed environmental document should identify what measures will be implemented to mitigate the impact. Mitigation measures may include the recycling of construction and demolition debris and the development of infrastructure in the project to facilitate recycling. Mr. Kevin Wilson February 5, 2009 Page 2 Storage Space for Recvclables The California Solid Waste Reuse and Recycling Access Act of 1991, as amended, requires each development project to provide an adequate storage area for collection and removal of recyclable materials. The environmental document should includeldiscuss standards to provide adequate recyclable storage areas for collection/storage of recyclable and green waste materials for this project. For any questions regarding the environmental comments above, please contact Mr. Corey Mayne at (626) 458-3524. If you have any other questions, please contact Mr. Duong at (626) 458-4945.

Comment Letters and Responses LETTER NO.4 County of Los Angeles Department of Public Works 900 South Fremont Avenue Alhambra, CA 91803 RESPONSE TO COMMENT NO. 4-1 This comment indicates review of the Waste Management Autoclave Draft IS/ND and introduces comments on the proposed project. The comment indicates that the construction and demolition of the proposed project, including the operational life of the project, will increase the generation of solid waste and negatively impact the solid waste management infrastructure. Thus, the commenter recommends that mitigation measures should be implemented to mitigate the impact. However, to clarify, the proposed project will not demolish the existing structures on -site. — Project construction would require minor excavation within the existing warehouse building to prepare the foundations for installation of the autoclaves. As discussed on page A-9 of the Draft IS/ND, project construction would occur in two phases. Phase 1 would require the export of approximately 186 cubic yards of waste materials, consisting of 124 cubic yards of dirt, 24 cubic yards of concrete, and 38 cubic yards of asphalt. The asphalt and concrete would be taken to the 25t' Street Recycling Center, located at 2131 East 25t' Street, approximately 3.2 miles west of the project site in the City of Los Angeles. The dirt would be taken to Waste Management's Antelope Valley (Palmdale) Landfill. As discussed on page B-61 of the Draft IS/ND, as of January 1, 2008, the Antelope Valley (Palmdale) Landfill has a remaining permitted capacity of 9.11 million tons or 15.18 million cubic yards. This permitted remaining capacity does not include the expansion in the bridge area between Landfill Unit 1 and Landfill Unit 2. Thus, the amount of dirt to be exported by the project would represent less than 0.001 (approximately 0.0009) percent of the permitted remaining capacity of the landfill. As this would be a nominal increase, it is not anticipated that the construction phase of the project would result in significant impacts on the existing landfills. — Furthermore, as the project would divert asphalt and concrete waste to a recycling facility, construction impacts to the existing solid waste management infrastructure would be less than significant and no mitigation measures would be necessary. With regard to the operational life of the project, it is noted that the project in itself is not anticipated to generate solid waste beyond what was generated by the previous truck terminal uses on -site. The only solid waste to be generated on -site would be limited to the solid waste generated by the employees working on -site. As discussed on page B-60 of the Draft IS/ND, the project's 41 employees are estimated to generate approximately 366.13 pounds (lbs) or 0.18 tons of solid waste per day. This does not take into account that not all employees would be working on -site all day, as the 41 employees would include 14 drivers. Therefore, the actual amount of solid waste to be generated on -site daily would actually be less. Given this conservative estimate, the project's solid waste generation would represent approximately 0.006 percent of permitted maximum capacity for either the Antelope Valley or the Simi Valley Landfill, and approximately 0.01 percent of the City of Vernon Waste Management Autoclave Project PCR Services Corporation February 2009 Page II-17 H.B. Comment Letters and Responses maximum daily capacity of the Lancaster Landfill, respectively. As this would be a nominal increase, it is not anticipated that the operational phase of the project would result in significant impacts on the existing landfills. As previously discussed, the project would treat RMW and APHIS waste, which is generated off -site by different uses (i.e., hospitals, clinics, dental offices, etc.). This correction has been made, as shown in Section III, Corrections and Additions, to provide clarity on this issue. It is acknowledged that after treatment, the RMW and APHIS waste would become solid waste and would be landfilled. However, as these wastes are not generated by the project, no impacts to landfills would occur. RESPONSE TO COMAMNT NO. 4-2 The California Solid Waste Reuse and the Recycling Access Act of 1991 (Public Resources Code Sections 42900-42911), as amended, requires each local jurisdiction to adopt an ordinance requiring commercial, industrial, or institutional building, marina, or residential buildings having five or more living units to provide an adequate storage area for the collection and removal of recyclable materials. The size of these storage areas are to be determined by the appropriate jurisdictions' ordinance. If no such ordinance exists with the jurisdiction, the California Integrated Waste Management Board (CIWMB)-model ordinance shall take effect. Los Angeles County does not have an adopted ordinance related to this legislation. The City of Vernon Department of Environmental Health Services is the local enforcement agency that monitors solid waste generation, diversion, and disposal to help the City comply with State mandated waste reduction — goals. Additionally, the City provides businesses in the area assistance regarding recycling and reduction of waste. In accordance with the California Solid Waste Reuse and Recycling Act of 1991, Section 12.51 through 12.58 of the City of Vernon Code provides general requirements, design standards, and location standards of recycling storage areas for development projects. As required by Code, the project would provide adequate storage areas for collection and removal of recyclable materials. Recycling receptacles would be provided in the office/ lunch area inside the building. When full, recyclables will be made available to employees for recycling at a recycling center. As the project site is completely paved, no green waste is anticipated to be produced by the project. Thus, the project would comply with federal, state, and local statutes and regulations regarding the reuse and recycling of solid waste. Project impacts remain less than significant and no further response is necessary. City of Vernon PCR Services Corporation Waste Management Autoclave Project February 2009 Page II-18 H.B. Comment Letters and Responses project would result in a nominal increase in the amount of wastewater currently being treated by District facilities and that the project would not result in an increase in the permanent population of the City, it is not anticipated that the project would exceed the existing available service capacity of the District or any proposed expansion of District facilities. Additionally, the project would generate approximately 0.015 mgd of wastewater which would be a nominal increase when compared with the peak flows conveyed by the 21-inch diameter truck sewer located on Bonnie Beach Boulevard at Bonnie Beach Place (1.6 mgd in 2005). The project would also be required to pay fees for connecting to the LACSD's sewer system to support the incremental expansion of the system as new projects are developed. As such, impacts to District facilities would remain less than significant and no mitigation measures would be necessary.

Medical Waste Transfer Station and Treatment Facility and Obtain a Negative CE'QA Declaration. Dear Mr. Wilson: We write on behalf of Stericycle to provide comments on the application of Waste Management Health Care Solutions, located at 4280 Bandini Blvd., Vernon CA, 90058, to obtain a Conditional Use Permit ("CUP") and to obtain a Negative CEQA Declaration to operate a inedical -waste transfer station and treatment facility. Stericycle is concerned that the apparent deficiencies in Waste Management's application.may prevent the City from making an informed decision. Stericycle's focus is to ensure that Waste Management, or any other applicant seeking to operate a medical waste treatment facility, provides sufficient information in accordance with all applicable rules and regulations to enable a proper evaluation of its proposed facility. This will ultimately benefit Waste 'Management's workers, workers in neighboring facilities, the surrounding environment, the City. and the medical waste treatment industry as a whole. Accordingly, Stericycle, as an interested third party, respectfully reserves the right to appeal or comment further on the niatter in accordance with all applicable local or state ordinances, statutes, and procedures. Stericycle greatly respects the position held by the City as its host community, and values its Ionc-standing working relationship as a corporate citizen of Vernon.

Stenevele's Comments Reizarding Waste Management's Initial Studv and Negative 5-2 Declaration A. General Comments I Despite making multiple Public Records Act requests, we have not received any application specific to the City CUP or any evaluations thereof It is possible that additional information is contained in those materials that may address some of the foregoing comments. B. Initial Study 5-3 1. The Initial Study references other agency permits needed,,. and we are currently attempting to locate and evaluate copies of these applications for possible additional comments. 2. Project Description (A-4) -_The Initial Study does not appear to specify 5-4 Waste Management's intended use of the site's current truck/equipment washing structure. C. Environmental Checklist 5-5 1 AIR QUALITY (B-3) S4 (a) The Initial Ludy states that "proper precautions would be undertaken to exclude hazardous substances" and states that waste would be "chocked for non -treatable wastes such as elemental mercury, chemotherapy and pathological wastes." However, the Study fails to explain or describe what measures would comprise such precautions and checks (e.g., visual., mechanical, training, customer education, monitoring,). Any prot, -rams or procedures for such important measures should be explained in detail. 1 ODORS (B-16) (a) In. the Environmental Checklist Form and on the top of page 13- 16, the Initial Study states that objectionable odors emanating from the facility would have a .'less than significant impact.- However, at the conclusion of the section, the Study states that "no inqmct.� MET — Mr. Kevin Wilson January 8, 2009 Page related to objectionable odors would occur and no mitigation 5-6 — measures would be necessary." These statements appear Cont'd inconsistent. _- (b) The Initial Study asserts that the facility would generate no 5-7 "objectionable odors such as those associated with the land uses defined by the SCAQMD." However, a medical waste treatment facility is distinctly different from those land uses specifically defined by the SCAQMD.. Controlling odors generated froiii not just standing eater, but also waste compactors and the waste itself _ is a legitimate concern for waste treatment facilities. Nevertheless, the Study states that "no mitigation measures" are necessary and does not appear to specify any mechanisms for odor monitoring. 3. GEOLOGY (B-20) _ 5-8 (a) The Initial Study apparently fails to state the extent to which prior -_ seismic activity has impacted the site. 4. HAZARDS (B-23) 5-9 (a) The Initial Study does not appear to provide sufficient information regarding how WasteManagement will monitor the types and — quantities of infectious waste treated at the facility. (b) The Initial Study states that, in addition to treating RN1W and _ APHIS regulated waste on -site, Waste Management will `'routinely 5-10 store and use potentially hazardous materials." However, the Study' apparently fails to describe in sufficient detail how and where it will store such materials, and haw it will comply with \ Vernon regulations regarding onsite storage. (c) `Fhe Initial Study apparently fails to indicate how inercuryd.etected 5-11 inside the facility= ��'ill be separated out, stored, and treated. (d) The Initial Study states on page I3 25 that "other procedures will _ address other spills. but does not appear to specify these other 5-12 procedures or spills. — (e) The .Initial Study does not appear to siifficiently describe Waste 5-13 Management's efforts to comply with regulations regarding the use IVIT. Kevin Wilson January 8. 2009 Page 4 of heat sensitive tape on bags and monthly biological indicators on 5-13 loads. I Cont'd (f) The Initial Study does not appear to state in sufficient detail the 5-14 actions Waste Management would take if (1) a fire, explosion, Or other accident occurred at the facility; (2) Waste Management was unable to properly refrigerate the storage container for materials it does not plan to treat onsite; (3) the public becomes exposed to waste from the facility. (_P,) The Initial Report does not appear to provide sufficient 5-15 information regarding Waste Management's accident and injury procedures, including procedures for first report of injiury and required medical follow-up. I 5. NOISE (13-3�) 5-16 (a) The Initial Study apparently fails to includeany plans for engineered controls despite )Vaste Management's intention to operate equipment in close proximity to property lines. I (b) The Initial Study repeatedly relies upon an assertion that noise 5-17 levels from construction "generally range from 77 to 86 dBA at a distance of 50 feet." llowever, the Study does not indicate whether the project construction vvill produce noise within this general range. Notably, certain types of construction. have noise I levels that exceed 100 dBA according to the Los Angeles CI QA Thresholds Guide- (c) 'The Initial Study does not appear to support its assertion that sound 5-18 generated by construction equipment, `'attenuates at a rate of approximately 6 dBA, per doubling of distance" with sufficient evidence. (d) The Initial Study's statement on page B-42 that intervening 5-19 structures between project construction equipment and the nearest residential receptor "provide about 10 dBA of additional noise reduction" does not appear to be supported by sufficient evidence, (e) The Initial Study's statement on page B-431 that ]ong-term 5-20 operation noise associated with the project "would likely be similar Mr. Kevin Wilson January 8, 2009 Page _5 5-20 to noise levels associated with the site's operation as a truck I COnt'd - ter anal" does not appear to be supported by sufficient evidence. (f) The Initial study apparently fails to define the term "noise 5-21 sensitive land," despite repeatedly using the term in its analysis. 6. TI I`BSI'C)R:17.t TIt3N/CIRCULATION (B-50) 5-22 (a) The Initial Study does not appear to provide sufficient vehicle and trip information relating to the estimated two -month constructiona period, including whether traffic will increase or decrease during that time period as compared to traffic currently generated by the exislino facility. (b) The Initial Study does not appear to include an estimate regarding 5-23 the total number of trucks that will operate out of the proposed facility. (c) The Initial Study does not appear to indicate whether Waste 5-24 Management's estimated 138 trips per day would be spread out evenly throughout the day or whether they would occur primarily during certain periods_ 1. — 7. UTILITIES (B-54) 5-25 (a) The Initial, Study apparently fails to indicate how it arrived at its individual estimates regarding the water usage of its water softener, gas boiler, tub washer, wash down, boilerblowdo,,Nm and vacuum pump. The Study also apparently fails to indicate how it arrived at its individual estimates for the amount of wastewater discharged by this equipment. Finally, it is unclear whether the water usage and discharge estimates only apply when the facility is _ operating at full capacity in 2016, or at some other capacity. (b) The Initial Study apparently fails to indicate whether Waste 5-26 Management has established agreements with landfills it intends to use as receivers of treated waste.

A draft version of the CUP application was provided to Dewey & LeBoeuf on February 12, 2008, and the final version on January 20, 2009, respectively. Furthermore, as discussed in the Notice of Intent, a copy of the final CUP application was made available for public review at the City Hall, between the hours of 7.15 A.M. and 5:15 P.M from Monday thru Thursday during the public review period that began on December 3, 2008 and ended on January 12, 2009. Therefore, the CUP application has been made available by the City for review to the public, including the commenter, and has provided adequate time for review of these materials. This comment does not -- provide new environmental information that changes the findings of impact for the project. No further response is necessary. RESPONSE TO COMMENT NO. 5-3 As discussed above, the City has complied with Dewey & LeBeoeuf s requests regarding the Public Records Act Request. The City's files including the CUP application were made available to the public for review, during the public review period that began on December 3, 2008 and ended on January 12, 2009. No other agency permit applications were requested from the City. Thus, as this comment does not provide new environmental information that changes the findings of the Draft IS/ND, no further response is necessary. City of Vernon PCR Services Corporation Waste Management Autoclave Project Febimry 2009 Page II-26 H.B. Comment Letters and Responses RESPONSE TO COMMENT NO. 5-4 The existing on -site wash structure would remain as a wash down area, and would be utilized as a temporary cover storage area for both empty receiving bins and bins filled with treated medical waste. It is noted that these receiving bins are watertight compactor receiving bins and are different from the bins that are used for waste treatment in the autoclave. The wash structure would shelter these receiving bins from rainwater and is bermed to prevent runoff of any materials to the stormwater drainage system. A truck would be staged in the wash structure to receive both the empty and full receiving bins until the empty bins are forwarded to the customers and the treated waste is transferred to a landfill. As this comment does not change the findings of impact of the Draft IS/ND, no further response is necessary. RESPONSE TO COMMENT NO. 5-5 This comment does not relate to the content of page B-3, as indicated in the comment letter. -- The text quoted by the commenter is found on pages B-15 and B-28 of the Draft IS/ND. As stated on page B-15, a detailed discussion of precautionary measures including visual checks, monitoring, training, and education related to the identification and handing of hazardous substances (including — non -treatable wastes) can be found in the Draft IS/ND. Specifically pages A-12 through A-14 of the Draft IS/ND details the procedures and measures to be implemented at the proposed facility. Pursuant to the California Department of Public Health Medical Waste Management Program, - monitoring programs and emergency plans would be in place during the operational life of the project. RESPONSE TO COMMENT NO. 5-6 The commenter is correct in stating that odor impacts are listed in the Environmental Checklist Form and on page B-16 of the Draft IS/ND as less than significant. The conclusion of the section indicating that no impacts related to objectionable odors would occur has been revised as shown in Section III, Corrections and Additions of this Final IS/ND, to conclude that impacts regarding odors would be less than significant. RESPONSE TO COMMENT NO. 5-7 The SCAQMD has not identified medical waste treatment facilities as having a high potential for generating off -site odor complaints. Nonetheless, the proposed operators of this autoclave facility recognize the potential for odor generation. As discussed on page B-16 of Draft IS/ND, the project would incorporate design features, including compartmentalizing those areas where waste would be processed and utilization of post -treatment vacuum to minimize odors. The project also includes an enclosed area for the compactor, which would further reduce the potential for odors. As such, it is not anticipated that the project would result in objectionable odors affecting a substantial number of people, or the ambient air quality. Impacts regarding odors would remain less than significant and no mitigation measures or additional odor monitoring would be necessary.

Comment Letters and Responses RESPONSE TO COM 1ENT NO. 5-8 This comment makes a simple observation about the Draft IS/ND and local seismicity but adds no data, facts, or other information to the record regarding the subject. Page B-20, Question IV.(a) Geology and Soils of the CEQA Environmental Checklist, asks whether or not the project would expose people or structures to potential substantial adverse effects, including the risk of loss, injury or death involving the rapture of a known earthquake fault, as delineated on the most recent Alquist-Priolo Earthquake Fault Zoning Map issued by the State Geologist for the area or based on another substantial evidence of known fault. While the project site is located within the seismically active Southern California region, review of the State's Geological Survey indicates that the project site is not located within an Alquist-Priolo Earthquake Fault Zone. There are no active or potentially active faults that cross beneath the project site or adjacent to the site. The closest active fault is the Hollywood -Raymond Fault located approximately seven miles north of the project site. The nearest blind thrust fault is the Puente Hills Blind Thrust Fault located approximately 1.6 miles from the project site.' The Puente Hills Blind Thrust Fault has experienced four major earthquakes in the past 11,000 years.'- While this blind thrust fault may produce another major earthquake sometime in the future, the eventual time at which such event may occur is unknown. Based on this geologic record on and near the site, the potential for fault rupture to occur on -site is considered low. In addition, construction of the project would comply with the applicable building and safety requirements of the Vernon Municipal Code and the California Building Code, including all seismic safety provisions. Thus, impacts regarding exposure of people or structures to potential substantial adverse effects as a result of fault rupture or other seismic effects remain less than significant and no further response is necessary. RESPONSE TO COMA1ENT NO. 5-9 ._ Monitoring of the types and quantities of infectious waste treated at the facility is discussed on pages A-11 through A-13 of the Draft IS/ND. As discussed therein, once unloaded, during inspection, each container would be checked for leaks or spillage, weighed, and scanned for -- radioactive and non -treatable wastes such as elemental mercury (which would be separated out for transport off -site as quickly as possible). Waste discrepancies would be recorded on a waste discrepancy log. RMW/APHIS waste containers would be checked by a permanent stationary radiation monitor (i.e., Ludlow Model 375 or approved equal), which would have an alarm system, as well as by several portable monitors for more detailed inspection for radioactive wastes and non - treatable wastes. Containers which are detected with radioactive materials would be held in a segregated radioactive waste holding area away from workers, for tracking and treatment in accordance with federal, state, and local guidelines. The location of this holding area is shown in Figure A-4 on page A-7.

The remaining non - treatable wastes (including pharmaceutical waste classified as "California only hazardous waste" by Chapter 11, Title 22 of the CFR) would be separated out, packaged and marked according to the Medical Waste Management Act (MWMA), and temporarily stored for transfer for proper disposal. These wastes would be transferred no later than 30 days to an incineration facility, most likely out - of state (e.g., in Utah, Texas), or at a facility with alternative technologies as they become available. RESPONSE TO COMAMNT NO.5-10 As indicated by the commenter, the Initial Study/ Negative Declaration indicates on page B- 25 that in addition to treating RMW and APHIS regulated medical waste on -site that Waste Management will "routinely store and use potentially hazardous chemicals such as compressed gas, waste oil and boiler water additive". In accordance with City of Vernon Ordinance No. 961, Waste Management prepared a Hazardous Materials Business Plan (HMBP) and submitted this plan to the City of Vernon, which was approved in April 2007 by the City's Health Department. This Plan includes information regarding the types of hazardous materials to be used on -site including the approximate quantity and description of each hazardous material handled. The location of hazardous material storage areas are also labeled in the site map provided therein, as well as in Figures A-3 and A-4 of the Draft IS/ND. Furthermore, this HMBP will be updated periodically, kept on -site and made available to emergency response personnel. In 1998, the American Hospital Association (AHA) signed an agreement with the United States Environmental Protection Agency committing to the virtual elimination of mercury from hospital waste. City of Vernon PCR Services Corporation Waste Management Autoclave Project February 2009 Page II-29 H.B. Comment Letters and Responses At times, other hazardous materials such as radioactive waste may be commingled with regulated medical waste. Therefore, radiation monitoring activity would occur during routine loading as well as unloading. Containers that are detected with radioactive materials would be held in a segregated radioactive waste holding area away from workers, for tracking, and treatment in accordance with federal, state, and local guidelines. The location of this holding area is also shown in Figure A-4 on page A-7 of the Draft IS/ND.

Furthermore, as discussed on page B-28 of the Draft IS/ND, the facility would not store acutely hazardous materials (e.g. compressed gas) in quantities above threshold levels requiring control under California's Accidental Release Program (Cal -ARP). The project would also be overseen by the City's Unified Program Agency to assure that hazardous waste is disposed of in 4 In 1998, the American Hospital Association (AHA) signed an agreement with the United States Environmental Protection Agency committing to the virtual elimination of mercuryfrom hospital waste.

As such, the project would be in compliance with the City's regulations regarding hazardous waste and no further response is necessary. RESPONSE TO COMNMNT NO.5-11 As discussed in Response to Comment No. 5-10 above, separation, storage, and the non - treatment of mercury is discussed on page A-13 in the Draft IS/ND. RMW/APHIS waste containers would be checked for non -treatable wastes such as elemental mercury, chemotherapy and pathological wastes. It is not anticipated that elemental mercury would be found as it has been _ phased out from hospital use. Effective January 1, 2009, Assembly Bill (AB) 2347- The Mercury Thermostat Collection Act of 2008, requires a manufacturer who sold mercury -added thermostats before January 1, 2006, to establish and maintain a collection and recycling program for out -of - service mercury -added thermostats. In addition, WMHS customers would be required to sign a Waste Acceptance Agreement indicating the types of waste that will and will not be accepted for treatment at the facility. Mercury in particular would be on the list of materials that would not be -- accepted by the facility. The customers are also audited by various accreditation agencies to make sure that they conform to the recommendations pertaining to the proper handling of hazardous materials. Furthermore, Waste Management will have staff available to help facilities manage their waste stream properly through training and programs. The facility personnel will be trained to know what is acceptable and unacceptable waste to be treated in the facility, as mercury is an unacceptable waste. However, some medical waste may still contain elemental mercury (from thermometers, blood pressure equipment, etc.).' Thus, in the event elemental mercury is found, it would be treated as hazardous waste and would not be accepted, set aside and stored in the hazardous materials area for proper disposal, and source notified for return. RESPONSE TO COMMENT NO.5-12 Other procedures to handle other spills include best management practices such as secondary containment (spill containment) for hazardous materials and chemicals, sharps containers for sharps and sharp objects, as well as notification of the supervisor on duty/ management personnel, and emergency medical response personnel, if needed. As previously indicated, a HMBP was submitted to the City and was approved in April 2007. Furthermore, an inventory of the hazardous materials kept on -site would be updated annually, and made available to the emergency medical response personnel. Thus, the project is not anticipated to create a significant hazard to the public, or the environment through the routine transport, use, or disposal of hazardous materials. Impacts remain less than significant and no further response is necessary. 5 In 1998, the American Hospital Association (AIM) signed an agreement with the United States Environmental Protection Agency committing to the virtual elimination of mercury from hospital waste. City of Vernon PCR Services Corporation Waste Management Autoclave Project February 2009 Page II-31 II.B. Comment Letters and Responses RESPONSE TO COMMENT NO.5-13 As discussed on page A-8 in Attachment A- Project Description of the Draft IS/ND in accordance with Section 118215(c)(3) of the Medical Waste Management Act (MWMA), the proposed project would place heat sensitive tape inside each load during treatment to ensure that appropriate temperatures are maintained for disinfection of medical waste. In the event that heat - sensitive tape has not changed color and/or the thermometer indicates that proper sterilization has not taken place, Waste Management will conduct testing to determine what actions need to be taken to properly treat the medical waste, including compliance with Section 118215(c)(1) of the MWMA. Section 118215 (a)(2)(C) of the California Health and Safety Code indicates that "heat sensitive tape, or another method acceptable to the enforcement agency, shall be used on each biohazard bag or sharps container that is processed on -site" at a permitted medical waste treatment facility or by other sterilization. Per communication with the CDPH, the use of heat sensitive tape on each bag is not sufficient to indicate that a specific temperature has rendered the medical waste non-infectious. Therefore, the use of heat -sensitive tape alone is not adequate to ensure proper treatment of medical waste. The CDPH places more emphasis on the use of biological indicator spores to ensure that proper treatment occurs. In addition, heat sensitive tape can be used for each load when a larger amount of medical waste is to be processed, rather than for each biohazard bag/sharps container.' Thus, the proposed project would be in compliance with CDPH regulations regarding the use of heat sensitive tape. As further discussed on page A-8 of the Draft IS/ND, biological indicators would be used monthly to ensure adequate conditions are achieved to disinfect medical waste Draft IS/ND. Spore testing would be conducted at least twice a month. Specifically, the biological indicator Bacillus Stearothermophilus would be placed at the center of a load during operations to confirm adequate sterilization conditions are achieved, in accordance with Section 118215(c)(4) of the MWMA. Additionally, prior to formal autoclave operations testing would occur to ensure adequate sterilization conditions are achieved. As such, the project would be in compliance with treatment requirements of the MWMA, and no further response is necessary. RESPONSE TO COMMENT NO.5-14 As discussed on page B-24 of the Draft IS/ND, in accordance with the MWMA, a medical waste treatment and transfer station permit would be obtained from the CDPH. As part of the _ requirements for the permit, Waste Management must provide an Emergency Action Plan, which shall describe in detail the actions that would be followed in the event of equipment failures, natural disasters, or other occurrences. Furthermore, during the operational life of the project, an Exposure Control Plan would be implemented which would set forth standard operating procedures to prevent worker exposure. All plant personnel and drivers will be required to participate in Waste Management's safety programs which would be ongoing and tailored for the transporting and 6 Per telecommunication with Dabney, Alison, Inspector, California Department of Public Health, Medical Waste Management Program, February 3, 2009.

Workers will be trained to handle unusual incidents such as spills or equipment failures so that potential exposures to infectious agents do not occur. The facility would also provide safety design features including two eye -wash stations, showers, and fire extinguishers. In addition, an up-to-date hazardous materials inventory will be stored on -site. Releases will be reported to the CDPH and the Office of Emergency Services, and decontaminated pursuant to methods provided in Section 118295 of the Health and Safety Code, including but not limited to, agitation to remove visible soil combined with one of the following procedures: a) Exposure to hot water of at least 82 degrees Centigrade (180 degrees Fahrenheit for a minimum of 15 seconds; b) Exposure to chemical sanitizer by rinsing with, or immersion in either Hypochlorite solution (500 ppm available chlorine) or Quaternary ammonium solution (400 ppm active agent) for a minimum of three minutes. In addition, the City of Vernon provides a variety of emergency services including fire protection, emergency medical response services, urban search and rescue, and hazardous materials control As discussed above, Fire Station 2 would respond to mitigate hazardous material incidents occurring on -site in the event such an incident were to occur. The City of Vernon has one of the top 35 highest rated departments in the nation. All fire personnel receive the most advanced fire and rescue training and are provided with state -of the -art equipment and apparatus. Furthermore, the hazardous materials inventory to be kept on -site would be provided _ annually to the Vernon Fire Department and to the Health and Environmental Control Department for use when responding to fires, industrial accidents, and natural disasters. In the event of a power failure, and or in the event of mechanical failure of the refrigeration unit, a rental unit would be brought on -site if it is for an extended period of time, until power is restored, or until the refrigeration unit is fixed or replaced. Furthermore, as discussed on page B-27 of the Draft IS/ND, because the autoclave is a steam autoclave, no chemicals are added to assist with the disinfection of any potential pathogens. The autoclave is constructed to the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) Section VIII Unfired Pressure Vessel Code which requires a safety valve. In the event the valve were to _. open, steam would be emitted into the atmosphere at a temperature sufficient to kill any pathogens. Therefore, infectious agents would not be released during autoclave operations. In addition, in the event of a power failure during operations, the autoclave would go into safe mode, which would - prevent the release of any vapors into the atmosphere. Once power is restored, the autoclave would resume its normal cycle. As a precautionary measure, only employees would be permitted on -site. The public would not have access to the facility. Thus, in the event of an accident involving the release of hazardous materials, the public would not be exposed to waste from the facility. RESPONSE TO COMMENT NO.5-15 Please refer to Response to Comment No. 5-14 above.

Comment Letters and Responses disasters, or other occurrences including accidents and injuries. Specifically, in the event of an accident or injury, the supervisor on duty would be notified to investigate the urgency of the situation. Depending on the extent of the emergency, standard operating procedures would be followed, including use of the facilities' safety design features such as the two eye -wash stations, showers, and fire extinguishers provided on -site. Other emergency services that require additional aid will be provided by the City's Fire Department which provides emergency medical response _ services and hazardous materials control. As noted above, the City of Vernon has one of the top 35 highest rated fire departments in the nation. All fire personnel receive the most advanced fire and rescue training and are provided with state -of the -art equipment and apparatus. For the project, it is anticipated that Fire Station 2 located at 4301 Santa Fe Avenue, approximately 2.9 miles west of the project site, would respond to provide these emergency medical response services occurring on -site, as necessary. As such, project impacts in the event of an accident or injury are considered to be less -- than significant. Further response is not necessary. RESPONSE TO COMAMNT NO.5-16 The commenter does not provide specific technical information to support the need for engineered controls or issues regarding the adequacy of the noise analysis. As discussed in the comprehensive noise impact analysis provided in Section XI, Noise, of Attachment B- Explanation of Checklist Determination, autoclaving operations would be limited to the interior of the warehouse building, which would effectively shield noise levels to the exterior. In addition, the estimated noise levels from operations of the outdoor equipment would be within the City's standard allowable noise level of 75 dBA at the property lines. As the project site is currently utilized as a truck terminal, noise levels that would be audible to adjacent property owners would be similar to those presently existing, since the operations occurring outside of the building would primarily involve truck departures and returns. Therefore no noise attenuation to mitigate noise levels over and above the existing baseline conditions is necessary, and no plans are required for engineered controls. Noise impacts remain less than significant and no further response is necessary. For additional information, please refer to Response to Comment No. 5-20 below. RESPONSE TO COMMENT NO.5-17 -- Construction activity noise levels are based on data published by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Noise from Construction Equipment and Operations, Building Equipment and Home Appliances, 1971, (referenced in the 2006 Los Angeles CEQA Thresholds Guide). The project construction process is assumed to utilize typical construction equipment, which would be within the range of the published noise data. The commenter further indicates that certain types of construction have noise levels that exceed 100 dBA according to the Los Angeles CEQA Thresholds Guide. However, as also indicated in the Los Angeles CEQA Thresholds Guide, the only construction equipment that would generate noise levels above 100 dBA is a pile driver. As the project construction would not require City of Vernon Waste Management Autoclave Project PCR Services Corporation Febniary 2009 Page II-34 H.B. Comment Letters and Responses the use of pile driver, project construction noise is assumed to utilize typical construction equipment. RESPONSE TO COMMENT NO.5-18 Sound from a point source, such as construction equipment, attenuates at a rate of 6 dBA per doubling of distances. This attenuation is due to the geometric spreading of the energy over an increasing area, and is referred to as the inverse square law. It is documented in various agency manuals/guidelines including Caltrans' Technical Noise Supplement TeNS, 1998, FHWA's _ Roadway Construction Noise Model User Guide, 2006, FTA's Transit Noise and Vibration Impact Assessment, 2006 For further information, please see the FHWA Roadway Construction Noise Model User's Guide, 2006 in Appendix A of this Final IS/ND. RESPONSE TO COMMENT NO.5-19 Noise barriers provide approximately 5 to 20 dBA noise reduction, where the top of the barrier breaks the line -of -sight between the source and the receiver per Caltrans Technical Noise Supplement (TeNS) document (Section N-2144). The assumption of a 10 dBA noise reduction provided by the intervening structures is a conservative assumption. For further information, please see Caltrans' TeNS in Appendix B of this Final IS/ND. RESPONSE TO COMMENT NO.5-20 As indicated on page B-43 of the Draft IS/ND, "Noise generated by the project would result primarily from truck departures and returns, truck servicing (i.e., maintenance, repair, washing), truck and employee vehicle parking, refuse container storage and washing, refuse container delivery and return, and operation of mechanical equipment including a compactor and a compressor." Operation of the mechanical equipment such as the compactor and compressor would occur inside an enclosed area, reducing the noise generated by such equipment to the ambient noise levels. The remaining noise sources would result from the operations occurring outside of the building such as truck departures and returns, parking, unloading, and loading, and etc., which would generate noise similar to the existing noise levels currently produced on -site by the truck terminal uses. Noise generated by heavy truck movement is approximately 79 dBA at a distance of 50 feet, per Caltrans' TeNS document (Section N-5511). Therefore, the estimated proposed project operational noise level of 74 dBA at the property line would be consistent with the noise levels occurring as a result of existing site's truck terminal operations. For further information, please see Caltrans Technical Noise Supplement (TeNS) in Appendix B of this Final Draft IS/ND and Response to Comment No. 5-16. City of Vernon PCR Services Corporation Waste Management Autoclave Project February 2009 Page II-35 H.B. Comment Letters and Responses RESPONSE TO COMMENT NO.5-21 The City of Vernon General Plan Noise Element, 2007 defines "noise sensitive land uses" as residential, school, day care centers and hospital uses. For further information, please see the City of Vernon General Plan — Noise Element in Appendix C of this Final IS/ND. RESPONSE TO COMMENT NO.5-22 As stated on page B-50 of the Draft IS/ND, "The project would increase the amount of traffic above existing levels during construction and operation of the project. During the two -month construction period, the export of construction waste materials (e.g., dirt, asphalt, and concrete) would result in additional truck traffic. However, construction truck traffic would be minimal and would not be expected to cause an overloading of the capacity of the street system. Furthermore, such trips would generally occur during non -peak hours and would be temporary." As discussed above, page A-9 of the Draft IS/ND indicates that project construction would occur in two phases over approximately a two -month period. The first phase would include initial site preparation, foundation work for both autoclaves and the installation of the first autoclave. In all, an estimated 186 cubic yards of material would be exported from the site in this phase (approximately 15 to 20 truck loads, or 30 to 40 truck trips). Up to eight pieces of off -road equipment would be needed on the site at any one time, as well as an estimated ten to fifteen construction workers. Phase 2 would include the installation of the second autoclave, which would require less time and fewer workers as it would not require the import/export of construction waste materials. RESPONSE TO COMMENT NO.5-23 This comment is unclear. It is presumed that the reference to trucks operating "out of' the facility refers to the number of trucks "based at" the facility. As discussed on page A-9 and shown in Figure A-3 of the Draft IS/ND, the project would provide ten truck parking spaces on the site, and four truck loading spaces in the rear of the building, for a maximum total of 14 trucks that could be accommodated on -site at one time. In addition, "the project would employ fourteen drivers throughout four shifts, with the number of drivers varying for each shift". Therefore, the projected amount of trucks operating out of the facility could be at a maximum of 14 trucks. As this comment - does not change the findings of impact of the Draft IS/ND, no further response is necessary. RESPONSE TO COMMENT NO.5-24 The projected amount and traffic pattern for the 138 vehicle and truck trips estimated for the proposed project is discussed on pages 1 and 2 of the Traffic Memo, and estimated in detail in Table 1 of the Traffic Memo, attached as Appendix B of the Draft IS/ND. As discussed and shown therein, the proposed project would generate its highest traffic volumes between 4:00 A.M. and 7:00 A.M. and between 1:00 P.M. and 3:00 P.M., with up to 17 trips occurring in any one hour. This comment does not provide new environmental information that changes the findings of impact provided in the Draft IS/ND. As such, no further response is necessary. City of Vernon PCR Services Corporation Waste Management Autoclave Project FebUary 2009 Page II-36 II.B. Comment Letters and Responses RESPONSE TO COMMENT NO.5-25 Please refer to Response to Comment No. 3-4 above. As indicated therein, the individual estimates utilized in the discussion of water usage for the water softener, gas boiler, tub washer, wash down, boiler blowdown, and vacuum pump were based on the standard water demand required for each mechanical equipment per manufacturers' specifications. No wastewater generation rates are provided on the LACSD website for autoclave uses. Therefore, the amount of - wastewater to be generated by the project was calculated using Form B of the LACSD Industrial Wastewater Discharge Permit Application, accounting for both boiler equipment water losses, other equipment evaporate losses, and by determining the amount of sanitary flow to be generated by project employees. The calculations provided also take into account the number of days the facility would be in operation, as well as the amount of water that would be required in gallons per cycle, hour, or day that would be required to treat 100 tons of RMW/APHIS waste per day. The water usage and discharge estimates presented also take into account the proposed autoclave project's operations at full-buildout. As this comment does not provide new environmental information that changes the findings of impact for the project, no further response is necessary. RESPONSE TO COMMENT NO.5-26 The purpose of the CEQA analysis is to determine whether sufficient permitted capacity would be available to accommodate the project's solid waste disposal needs and if the project would comply with federal, state, and local statutes and regulations related to solid waste. Please refer to Response to Comment No. 4-2 above, and pages B-60 through B-62 of the Draft IS/ND for fiuher detail. As discussed therein, the proposed project would represent a nominal increase in the maximum daily capacity of either the Antelope Valley (Palmdale), Simi Valley, or Lancaster landfill. All of these landfills are owned or operated by Waste Management, and there would not be a need for a disposal agreement for intra-company waste. Waste Management landfills currently do not enter into written disposal contracts with other Waste Management operating units. Therefore, project impacts regarding solid waste would be less than significant and no mitigation measures would be necessary. No further response is necessary. RESPONSE TO COMMENT NO.5-27 As discussed in the Notice of Intent, a copy of the application was made available during the public review period that began on December 3, 2008 through January 12, 2009 at City Hall, between the hours of 7:15 A.M. and 5:15 P.M from Monday through Thursday.

Comment Letters and Responses RESPONSE TO COMMENT NO.5-28 A vicinity map was provided to the City as required by the City's CUP Instructions and Checklist, showing all properties within a 300-foot radius of the outside boundaries of the subject property, complete with a property owners' address list from the latest available Los Angeles County Tax Assessor's roll, a tenants' address list for all properties within a 300-foot radius from the project boundaries in mailing labels, and a notarized property owners' list statement completed by GC Mapping Service, the company that prepared the list, stating that the list has been compiled from information obtained from the latest Los Angeles County Tax Assessment Roll. The vicinity map provided as part of the project's CUP application is not an aerial photograph, and is separate from the referenced "aerial photo (Figure A-2) of the Draft IS/ND" referred by the commenter. No requirements were provided in the City's CUP Instructions and Checklist requiring an aerial photo or that it be "drawn" to a scale of 1-inch to 100 feet. Furthermore, the vicinity map does provide lot lines, although no such requirement regarding lot lines and street addresses exists in the City's CUP Instruction and Checklist. The City application filing requirements for this project's CUP application were satisfied. No further response is necessary. RESPONSE TO COMMENT NO.5-29 The Development/ Plot Plan that was provided by the Applicant as part of the projects CUP application per the City's Environmental Checklist is similar to Figure A-3 and A-4 of the Draft IS/ND. As shown therein, the location and dimensions of the building, including parking, truck maneuvering areas, driveways, alleys, accessway entrances, and site drainage were provided in accordance with the required specifications for the City's CUP Application and Environmental Checklist. No easements are shown in the figures as there are no easements on the project site. No further response is necessary. RESPONSE TO COMMENT NO.5-30 The commenter speculates that that there is "apparently no Environmental Checklist - provided for the CUP Application".' The City's Environmental Checklist was provided to the City, through the "Environmental Checklist" form attached in the CUP application. The City's Environmental Checklist included a project description, the environmental setting, and analyzed the — effects of the proposed project on the environment and the neighboring properties (this was further addressed in the Draft IS/ND in compliance with CEQA). Attachments showing exhibits and short descriptions of the existing structures, the surrounding properties, and the project vicinity were also provided. In addition, the City's Environmental Checklist was certified, as signed by the Applicant. 7 To clarify, two Environmental Checklists were provided by the project. There is an Environmental Checklist included as part of the CUP application, and an Environmental Checklist provided in the IS/ND which resembles the checklist provided in Appendix G of the CEQA Guidelines. City of Vernon PCR Services Corporation Waste Management Autoclave Project February 2009 Page II-38 II.B. Comment Letters and Responses Thus, the Environmental Checklist that was provided as part of the project's CUP application was complete and the requirements of the CUP application satisfied. No further response is necessary. RESPONSE TO CONEMENT NO.5-31 The City's CUP Application Instructions and Checklist requires that the development/plot plan indicate proposed drainage patterns and/or proposed changes in drainage. However, as discussed on page B-32 of the Draft IS/ND, no new buildings or removal of the existing buildings are proposed. Reconfiguration of the loading dock area would involve the replacement of impervious surfaces with new impervious surface areas. As such, the project would not change the amount of impervious and pervious surface areas on -site nor would changes to the existing drainage patterns occur. No changes to the existing drainage are proposed on -site or in the area. Stormwater -- on -site would continue to be conveyed towards Bandini Boulevard as shown in Figure FIS/ND-l. Thus, no further response is necessary.

Volpe National Transportation Systems Center Acoustics Facility Cambridge, MA 02142 RCNM User's Guide Calculations in the RCNM 5 Calculations in the RCNM The RCNM uses the primary equation described in the CA/T Construction Noise Control Specification 721.560 [ 1 ] for the construction noise calculations. 5.1 Metric Calculation LmaxCalc = selected—Lmax — 201og(D/50) - shielding where (1) selected_Lmax is the "Spec" or "Actual" maximum A -weighted sound level at 50 ft., listed in Table 1 for all pieces of equipment, in dBA, D is the distance between the equipment and the receptor, in feet, shielding is the insertion loss of any barriers or mitigation, in dBA (see Appendix A). Leg = LmaxCalc + 10log(U.F.%/100) where (2) U.F.% is the time -averaging equipment usage factor, in percent (see footnote 1 on p 7)- L10 = Leq + 3 dBA adjustment factor (3) The RCNM calculates L10 by adding 3 dBA to the Leq, where the 3 dBA default L10 adjustment factor was empirically derived by comparing extensive CA/T construction noise data. This adjustment factor may be changed in the RCNM at the user's discretion. 5.2 Exceedance Calculation Daytime Lmax Exceedance = LmaxCalc — Daytime Lmax Limit (4) Daytime Leq or L10 Exceedance = Leq or L10 — Daytime Leq or L10 Limit (5) Evening Lmax Exceedance = LmaxCalc Evening Lmax Limit (6) Evening Leq or L10 Exceedance = Leq or L10 — Evening Leq or L10 Limit (7) Nighttime Lmax Exceedance = LmaxCalc — Nighttime Lmax Limit (8) Nighttime Leq or L10 Exceedance = Leq or L10 —Nighttime Leq or L10 Limit (9) 101 — RCNM User's Guide Calculations in the RCNM 5.3 Totals Calculation The Total values in the Results section are determined in the following manner: 1) Total Leq = 10*log(E (individual equipment Leq values3)) 2) Total L10 = 10*log(E (individual equipment L10 values3)) 3) Total Lmax = Maximum among individual equipment Lmax values 4) Total noise limits and limit exceedances: a. Determine whether or not total is impact or non -impact i. If all the equipment is non -impact, label the total as non -impact. ii. If all the equipment is impact, label the total as impact. iii. If the equipment is mixed non -impact and impact, label the total as non -impact. b. Determine total noise limits and limit exceedances the same way as with individual pieces of equipment (see Section 5.2), only use the calculated total sound levels (Total Leq or Total L10) and the impact or non -impact label according to the criteria specified in i through iii. 3 The Leq and L10 levels are energy averages. 21 RCNM User's Guide Appendix A Appendix A: Best Practices for Calculating Estimated Shielding for Use in the RCNM This Appendix presents some simplified shielding factors for use in the RCNM. These suggestions are "rules of thumb" based on experience gathered by CA/T construction noise experts working in the field [2]. 1) If a noise barrier or other obstruction (like a dirt mound) just barely breaks the line -of - sight between the noise source and the receptor, use 3 dBA. 2) If the noise source is completely enclosed OR completely shielded with a solid barrier located close to the source, use 8 dBA. If the enclosure and/or barrier has some gaps in it, reduce the effectiveness to 5 dBA. 3) If the noise source is completely enclosed AND completely shielded with a solid barrier located close to the source, use 10 dBA. 4) If a building stands between the noise source and receptor and completely shields the noise source, use 15 dBA. 5) If a noise source is enclosed or shielded with heavy vinyl noise curtain material (e.g., SoundSeal BBC-13-2" or equivalent), use 5 dBA. 6) If dilapidated windows are replaced with new acoustical windows, or quality internal -- or exterior storm sashes, use an incremental improvement of 10 dBA for an overall Outside -to -Inside Noise Reduction (OINR) of 35 dBA. 7) If work is occurring deep inside a tunnel using the "top -down" construction method (i.e. cover the tunnel work with concrete roadway decks to allow surface traffic and then excavate underneath the roof deck), use 12 dBA. A-1 APPENDIX B CALTRANS TECHNICAL NOISE SUPPLEMENT (TENS) Pink noise, in contrast, is defined as having the same amplitude for each octave band (or third -octave band), rather than for each frequency interval. Its octave or third -octave band spectrum is truly a straight, "level" line over the entire audible spectrum. Pink noise generators are therefore conveniently used to calibrate octave or third -octave band analyzers. Both white and pink noise sound somewhat like the static heard from a radio that is not tuned to a particular station. N-2140 Sound Propagation From the source to the receiver noise changes both in level and frequency spectrum. The most obvious is the decrease in noise as the distance from the source increases. The manner in which noise reduces with distance depends on the following important factors: • Geometric Spreading from Point and Line Sources • Ground Absorption • Atmospheric Effects and Refraction • Shielding by Natural and Manmade Features, Noise Barriers, Diffraction, and Reflection N-2141 Geometric Spreading from Point and Line Sources Sound from a small localized source (approximating a "point" source) radiates uniformly outward as it travels away from the source in a spherical pattern. The sound level attenuates or drops -off at a rate of 6 dBA for each doubling of the distance (6 dBA/DD). This decrease, due to the geometric spreading of the energy over an ever increasing area, is referred to as the inverse square law. Doubling the distance increases each unit area, represented by squares with sides "a" in Figure N-2141.1, from a2 to 4a2. Since the same amount of energy passes through both squares, the energy per unit area at 2D is reduced 4 times from that at distance D. Thus, for a point source the energy per unit area is inversely proportional to the square of the distance. Taking 10 log10 (1/4) results in a 6 dBA reduction (for each doubling of distance). This is the point source attenuation rate for geometric spreading. 24 APPENDIX C CITY OF VERNON GENERAL PLAN - NOISE ELEMENT VERNON GENERAL PLAN NOISE ELEMENT RCNM User's Guide Table of Contents Table of Contents Section Page Tableof Contents.....................................................................................•........................... i Listof Figures..................................................................................................................... ii Listof Tables..................................................................................................................... iii 1 Introduction.................................................................................................................... 1 2 Background....................................................................................................................2 3 The RCNM.............................................................................................•....................... 4 3.1 RCNM Main Page................................................................................................... 4 3.1.1 File Menu........................................................................................................... 5 — 3.1.2 Edit Menu........................................................................................................... 5 3.1.3 View Menu......................................................................................................... 6 3.1.4 Options Menu..................................................................................................... 6 - 3.1.5 Help Menu......................................................................................................... 8 3.2 Input Data................................................................................................................ 8 3.2.1 Receptors............................................................................................................8 — 3.2.2 Equipment.......................................................................................................... 9 3.2.3 Noise Metric and Noise Limit Criteria............................................................ 10 4 Results..........................................................................................................................18 — 5 Calculations in the RCNM........................................................................................... 20 5.1 Metric Calculation................................................................................................ 20 5.2 Exceedance Calculation........................................................................................ 20 — 5.3 Totals Calculation................................................................................................. 21 6 References....................................................................................................................22 Appendix A: Best Practices for Calculating — Estimated Shielding for Use in the RCNM..................................................................... A-1 i noise equivalent level (CNEL). This measure weights the average noise levels for the evening hours (7:00 P.M. to 10:00 P.M.), increasing them by 5 dB, and weights the late evening and morning hour noise levels (10:00 P.M. to 7:00 A.M.) by 10 dB. The daytime noise levels are combined with these weighted levels and are averaged to obtain a CNEL value. Figure N-2 indicates the outdoor CNEL at typical locations throughout the Southern California area. 2.2 Noise and Health Effects Sound levels which exceed 85 dB(A), when experienced for long durations during each working day, may result in severe temporary or even permanent hearing loss. State and federal safety and health regulations currently protect workers at levels of exposure that exceed 90 dB(A) for each eight -hour workday.

The level of interference increases with sound level and source: Wieland Associates the distance between speaker and listener. Sound levels that exceed 40 to 45 dB(A) are generally considered to be excessive for sleeping areas within a residence. 2.3 Community Noise Standards Vernon has established community noise standards to help guide land use decisions and protect sensitive uses from excessive noise levels, as shown in Figure N-3. Because the City consists almost exclusively of industrial uses and policy set forth in the Housing Element prohibits the construction of any new housing in recognition of the hazards - including high noise levels - associated with widespread industrial activity, these standards discourage any new noise -sensitive use that would be incompatible with the City's industrial focus. Similarly, zoning regulations prohibit community facilities such as schools, day care centers, and hospitals. 0 70 80 40 KII Noise Element - 5 Vernon General Plan Noise Element Figure N-3: Community Noise Standards CNEL, d6 Land Use Category 50 1 55 1 60 1 65 1 70 1 75 1 80 Residential- Multi -family; Duplex Schools,, Churches Office Building; Research & Development,. professional Offices, City Office Building Commercial Retail, Banks, Restaurants Service Station, Auto Dealership, Manufacturing, Warehousing„ Wholesale, Utilities Agriculture CLEARLY COMPATIBLE Specified land use is satisfactory,based upon the assumption that any buildings involved are of normal conventional contruction without any special noise insulation requirements. NORMALLY COMPATIBLE New construction or development should be undertaken only after detailed analysis of the noise reduction requirements is made and needed noise, insulation features in design are determined. Conventional construction, with closed windows and fresh air supply systems or air conditioning, will normally suffice. NORMALLY INCOMPATIBLE New construction or development should generally be discouraged. If new construction or development does proceed, a detailed analysis of noise reduction requirements must be made and needed noise insulation features included in the design. a CLEARLY INCOMPATIBLE New construction or development should generally not be undertaken. Noise Element - 6 3.0 NOISE ENVIRONMENT IN 2007 In 2007, the City conducted a comprehensive noise survey of the community to document the noise environment. Measurements were taken at eleven locations, including two border locations in adjacent communities. Three measurements consisted of 24-hour recordings of the sound environment, and the balance were limited duration measurements at representative locations throughout Vernon and, as noted above, on the border of neighboring communities. The most significant noise -producing activity within Vernon involves the transportation systems: the arterial roadways and train movements along regional rail lines. In addition, many major manufacturing businesses create high noise levels. The only noise -sensitive land uses within the City are scattered residential units and the Vernon City Elementary School. Residences, most of which are owned by the City, are primarily clustered in three areas: on Vernon Avenue at Furlong Place, on Vernon Avenue between Downey Road and Alcoa Avenue, and on Fruitland Avenue west of Downey Road. Vernon City Elementary School is located at the southwest corner of Vernon Avenue and Santa Fe Avenue. The adjacent communities of Huntington Park and Maywood have residential neighborhoods and schools along and near their boundaries with Vernon. Vernon has long practiced good neighbor policies with respect to these uses, cooperating with adjacent cities to minimize noise impacts on sensitive uses.

A MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION will be prepared. ❑ I find that the proposed project MAY have a significant effect on the environment, and an ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT is required. ❑ I find that proposed project MAY have a "potentially significant impact" or "potentially significant unless mitigated" impact on the environment, but at least one effect 1) has been adequately analyzed in an earlier document pursuant to applicable legal standards, and 2) has been addressed by mitigation measures based on the earlier analysis as described on attached sheets. An ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT is required, but it must analyze only the effects that remain to be addressed. ❑ I find that although the proposed project could have a significant effect on the environment, because all potentially significant effects (a) have been analyzed adequately in an earlier EIR or NEGATIVE DECLARATION pursuant to applicable standards, and (b) have been avoided or mitigated pursuant to that earlier EIR or NEGATIVE DECLARATION, including revisions or mitigation measures that are imposed upon the proposed project, nothing further is required. —. Signature Date Kevin W7ilson For City of Vernon Waste Management Autoclave Project PCR Services Corporation November 2008 Page 2 Environmental Checklist Form EVALUATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS: 1) A brief explanation is required for all answers except "No Impact" answers that are adequately supported by the information sources a lead agency cites in the parentheses following each question. A "No Impact" answer is adequately supported if the referenced information sources show that the impact simply does not apply to projects like the one involved (e.g., the project -- falls outside a fault rupture zone). A "No Impact" answer should be explained where it is based on project -specific factors as well as general standards (e.g., the project will not expose sensitive receptors to pollutants, based on a project -specific screening analysis). 2) All answers must take account of the whole action involved, including off -site as well as on -site, cumulative as well as project -level, indirect as well as direct, and construction as well as operational impacts. 3) Once the lead agency has determined that a particular physical impact may occur, then the checklist answers must indicate whether the impact is potentially significant, less than significant with mitigation, or less than significant. "Potentially Significant Impact" is appropriate if there is substantial evidence that an effect may be significant. If there are one or more "Potentially Significant Impact" entries when the determination is made, an EIR is required. 4) "Negative Declaration: Less Than Significant With Mitigation Incorporated" applies where the incorporation of mitigation measures has reduced an effect from "Potentially Significant Impact" to a "Less Than Significant Impact." The lead agency must describe the mitigation measures, and briefly explain how they reduce the effect to a less than significant level (mitigation measures from Section XVII, `Earlier Analyses," may be cross-referenced). - 5) Earlier analyses may be used where, pursuant to the tiering, program EIR, or other CEQA process, an effect has been adequately analyzed in an earlier EIR or negative declaration. Section 15063(c)(3)(D). In this case, a brief discussion should identify the following: a) Earlier Analysis Used. Identify and state where they are available for review. b) Impacts Adequately Addressed. Identify which effects from the above checklist were within the scope of and adequately analyzed in an earlier document pursuant to applicable legal standards, and state whether such effects were addressed by mitigation measures based on the earlier analysis. c) Mitigation Measures. For effects that are "Less than Significant with Mitigation Measures Incorporated," describe the mitigation measures which were incorporated or refined from the earlier document and the extent to which they address site -specific conditions for the project. City of Vernon Waste Management Autoclave Project PCR Services Corporation November 2008 Page 3 Environmental Checklist Form 6) Lead agencies are encouraged to incorporate into the checklist references to information sources for potential impacts (e.g., general plans, zoning ordinances). Reference to a previously prepared or outside document should, where appropriate, include a reference to the page or pages where the statement is substantiated. 7) Supporting Information Sources: A source list should be attached, and other sources used or individuals contacted should be cited in the discussion. 8) This is only a suggested form, and lead agencies are free to use different formats; however, lead agencies should normally address the questions from this checklist that are relevant to a project's environmental effects in whatever format is selected. 9) The explanation of each issue identify: a) the significance criteria or threshold, if any, used to evaluate each question; and b) the mitigation measure identified, if any, to reduce the impact to less than significance.

City of Vernon PCR Services Corporation Page 12 Waste Management Autoclave Project November 2008 ATTACHMENT A - PROJECT DESCRIPTION ATTACHMENT A PROJECT DESCRIPTION A. INTRODUCTION Waste Management, Inc. (the Applicant) proposes to develop an autoclave facility consisting of two autoclaves within an existing 13,637 square foot industrial warehouse with the addition of 756 square feet for the compactor enclosure in the City of Vernon (the City). The autoclave facility would accept, handle, and treat regulated medical wastes (RMV) and wastes regulated by the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) that are delivered to the site. Construction and operation of the facility would comply with the California Medical Waste Management Act (MWMA). This facility is considered an "Off -Site Treatment Facility and - Transfer Station'' as defined by the MWMA. Construction would occur in two phases, with installation of the first autoclave occurring in Phase 1 and the second autoclave occurring in Phase 2, when waste volumes warrant the use of a second autoclave. Full operation of the facility (i.e., operation of both autoclaves) is anticipated to occur in 2016. B. SITE LOCATION AND EXISTING CONDITIONS The project site is located at 4280 Bandini Boulevard in the northern portion of the City of Vernon, approximately 5 miles southeast of downtown Los Angeles (see Figure A-1 on page A-2). Regional access to the site is provided by the Long Beach Freeway (I-710) and the Santa Ana Freeway (1-5), approximately 0.6 mile to the east and 1.20 mile to the north, respectively. The nearest freeway on- and off -ramp is at the intersection of Bandini Boulevard, the I-710, and Atlantic Boulevard. Local access is provided by Bandini Boulevard, which borders the site to the north. The irregularly shaped site consists of approximately 96,891 square feet or 2.23 acres of industrial land. The site has a street frontage of 125 feet along Bandini Boulevard and a depth of approximately 884 feet. As shown in Figure A-2 on page A-3, the project site is located in a highly industrialized area. Large blocks of industrial buildings are adjacent to the east and west, with smaller industrial buildings located to the north across Bandini Boulevard. To the south of the site is the Los Angeles Junction Railroad tracks, which follows the concrete channel of the Los Angeles River. Additionally, a railroad spur enters the site from the south and parallels the western border of the site. This railroad spur was previously utilized for transporting flour to the project site. However, the use of these railroad spurs no longer occurs. City of Vernon PCR Services Corporation Page A-1 Waste Management Autoclave Project November 2008 Attachment A — Project Description Although there are limited uses currently on the site, the site operates as a truck terminal for solid waste collection vehicles under a Conditional Use Permit dated December 2005. Operations for the truck terminal included truck departures and returns, truck servicing (i.e., maintenance, repair, washing), truck and employee vehicle parking, refuse container storage and washing, and refuse container delivery and return. No refuse was allowed to be stored on - site. The truck terminal operated daily for 24 hours per day. In 2006, operations were cut back. However, the 2005 CUP approved for the site, allows for the continued operation of the truck terminal subject to a maximum of 110 daily truck and vehicle trips per day (55 inbound and 55 outbound). Currently, the site is used primarily for refuse container storage for new contracts and overflows. Existing improvements on the site include a 20-foot high, concrete tilt -up warehouse with a small office area, a metal canopy (formerly used as a wash rack), and surface parking. Additionally, a chain -link fence is provided along the entire perimeter of the site with an entry _ gate on Bandini Boulevard. The approximately 13,637 square foot warehouse occupies the northern portion of the site and includes a small office area in the front as well as raised loading docks in the rear. The metal canopy is set apart from the warehouse and provides a covered area of approximately 2,775 square feet. Two used oil tanks, a trench drain, and an oil/water separator are located within the canopy area. The remaining paved areas of the site provide 40 truck parking stalls and 67 staff parking spaces. Vehicle ingress and egress to the site is provided from Bandini Boulevard. Specifically, vehicles enter the site via a two-way driveway on the eastern edge of the site, across from Bonnie Beach Place. Vehicles can exit the site via either driveway. The western driveway is controlled by a signal. The site is zoned I, Industrial, which is intended to protect heavy industries from incompatible commercial, office, or residential uses. Additionally, the site (as with the entire City of Vernon) is designed as Industrial by the General Plan. C. DESCRIPTION OF THE PROPOSED PROJECT Regulated medical wastes (RMW) are medical wastes (exclusive of radioactive wastes) generated at hospitals, laboratories, dialysis centers, and medical clinics. As defined by Section 117635 of the California Health and Safety Code, RMW includes, but is not limited to, biomedical wastes (e.g., laboratory cultures, human surgical specimens, animal tissues and carcasses) and sharps waste (e.g., hypodermic needles, blades, needles, syringes, broken blood vials). City of Vernon PCR Services Corporation Page A-4 Waste Management Autoclave Project November 2008 Attachment A — Project Description Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) regulated wastes, as governed by the US Department of Agriculture (USDA) under the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Title 9, are biological agents, products, or pathogens which pose a threat to the nation's agriculture industry. APHIS regulated wastes include genetically engineered biological agents as well as foreign biological organisms that are imported by cruise ships or ocean shipping companies. Upon City approval of the project, the existing truck terminal uses would be phased out over the course of one year, while the proposed project is being developed and awaiting final State approval and testing prior to autoclave facility operations. The autoclave facility would include two autoclaves that would accept, handle, and treat RMW/APHIS regulated wastes delivered to the site. Autoclaves are pressurized vessels that use steam to render wastes non-infectious. The two autoclaves would have a combined design capacity to treat up to 100 tons of RMW/APHIS - wastes per day. Approximately 97 percent of the wastes processed at the facility would be RMW and approximately three percent would be APHIS regulated wastes. The proposed autoclave facility would be located within the existing 13,637 square foot industrial warehouse. Project Facilities Autoclave Facility The proposed project would develop an approximately 8,450 square foot autoclave facility within the existing warehouse. As shown in the site plan provided in Figure A-3 on page A-6, the autoclave facility would retain the location of the existing loading area at the rear of building. The loading area, however, would be redesigned to approximately 2,400 square feet in area. Three dock doors, raised approximately 3 feet from the ground, would be available to receive the RMW/APHIS waste containers. Figure A-4 on page A-7 shows the building plan of the autoclave facility. As shown therein, a gravity conveyor system would be recessed into the floor of the container receiving area. The recessed track system would lead the containers to three dumpers and then onto a washer. Another conveyor system which would be designed to handle the autoclave bins would also be installed within the autoclave facility. As shown in Figure A-4, the conveyor system would be approximately six feet wide and would provide connections between the dumpers, autoclave, and compactor. A smaller roller conveyor system, which would be gravity driven, would connect between the washer and recessed track system located on the dock. The autoclave facility would include two autoclaves, approximately 8 feet by 32 feet in size to be located in the northern portion of the building. Each autoclave would be designed to handle approximately 5,000 lbs of RMW/APHIS wastes per load, with a capacity to handle approximately 20 to 22 loads operating per day at full operation. Thus, the two autoclaves would have a combined capacity to process up to approximately 100 tons of RMW/APHIS wastes per day.

SCALE. 1'=90' Figure A-5. Access, Parking, and Circulation Attachment A — Project Description To support the autoclave operations, the proposed project would also include development of a washer, trash compacter, gas boiler, condenser, and a refrigerated storage container (reefer). The washer, approximately 4 feet by 32 feet, for the washing of the empty waste containers would be located inside the building and would be connected to the roller conveyor system. The trash compactor, would be located outside of the main building to the west, would have its own enclosure for compacting the treated RMW/APHIS wastes into 35 cubic yard receiving bins. A gas -fired boiler that would supply steam for the autoclaves would be located outside to the west of the building. The gas boiler would consume a maximum of 9.9 million BTU per hour with approximately 225-250 horsepower. The boiler would be equipped with a low NOx burner, which would comply with Rule 1146 of the South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD). The project would also include the installation of a condenser located on a concrete slab on the west side of the building. The reefer would be eight feet by 20 feet and would be located inside of the building. The autoclave facility would also include main offices as well as restrooms and locker areas to be located in the northern portion of the building. Two smaller support offices would be located in the eastern portion of the building. The existing metal canopy would remain on -site as a wash down area. Other Facility Features The entire project site would be fenced and secured to prohibit public access into the site. In addition, "authorized personnel only" signs would be posted as additional security measures. Lighting poles, approximately 35 feet high, would be installed at the rear of the site and would be shielded to prevent light spillover to adjacent properties. A vacuum pump and trench drain for the autoclaves would be provided to discharge the condensed water from the autoclave process, and another trench drain for the washer would be provided for the discharge of wash water. Additionally, floor drains would be installed within the facility for incidental water discharges from housekeeping operations (i.e., mopping of floors) and accidental water spills. Safety design features for the project would include two eye -wash stations, showers, and fire extinguishers. Spill kits would also be located throughout the autoclave facility (discussed below). Furthermore, in order to ensure effectiveness of treatment, once the facility is constructed, Waste Management would conduct testing to determine the exact parameters (pre - vac, post -vac, temperature, length of cycle and quantity of waste) of the autoclave cycle. Once the cycle is determined, it will be entered into the autoclave control system. Spore testing would also be conducted at least twice a month through two parts. The spore used would be Bacillus stearothermophilus. Additionally, a heat sensitive test strip would be placed in each load during normal operations to ensure that appropriate temperatures are maintained for disinfection of the medical waste. City of Vernon PCR Services Corporation Page A-8 Waste Management Autoclave Project November 2008 Attachment A — Project Description Access, Circulation, and Parking Figure A-5 on page A-10 shows the access, circulation, and parking proposed within the site. As shown therein, access to the site and internal circulation would be provided via a perimeter driveway on the site. This perimeter driveway would allow one-way egress from Bandini Boulevard along the western side of the building. Along the eastern edge of the site, the driveway would allow for two-way traffic including ingress and egress. Trucks loaded with RMW/APHIS waste would enter the site from the two-way entry and would back into the loading docks. Once unloaded, trucks would exit by turning back onto the perimeter driveway, thus exiting from the eastern or western edge of the site. Three parking areas located near the rear (e.g., southern end) of the site would be provided on the site for employee vehicles and trucks. The first parking area would provide 10 parking spaces for employees, and the second parking area would provide nine truck stalls. The third parking area would provide parking for up to seven vehicles and one truck parking stall. A disabled parking space is provided in the front of the building as well as an additional employee parking space. As part of the project, portions of the existing railroad spur would be removed. Specifically, the bumper would be removed from its existing location and would be placed 50 feet from where the tracks currently enter the project site, as well as the section of tracks parallel to the building. The rest of the tracks would be abandoned. Project Construction Project construction would occur in two phases. Phase 1 would include the initial preparation of the project site for the autoclave facility including the installation of the first autoclave and the foundations of the second autoclave. Phase 1 would occur over a two month period and would require the export of approximately 186 cubic yards of waste materials. Specifically, approximately 124 cubic yards of dirt, 24 cubic yards of concrete, and 38 cubic yards of asphalt would be exported. The asphalt and concrete would be taken to the 25t' Street Recycling Center in the City of Los Angeles. The dirt would be taken for disposal to Waste Management's Antelope Valley (Palmdale) Landfill. Phase 2 would include the installation of the second autoclave, which would not require the import/export of construction waste materials. Project Operations Facility Operations The project's autoclave facility would operate 24 hours per day, seven days a week. The autoclave facility would begin operation with one autoclave installed and an initial staff of approximately four plant employees and one supervisor in one shift, excluding truck delivery City of Vernon PCR Services Corporation Page A-9 Waste Management Autoclave Project November 2008 Attachment A — Project Description personnel (drivers). Shifts would be added reaching three shifts a day as warranted to accommodate the flow of wastes requiring treatment. Personnel would also be added to shifts as needed to handle operation levels. The second autoclave would be installed when waste volumes warrant the use of a second clave. Full operation of the autoclave facility would occur in 2016, with a projected staff of seven plant employees and one supervisor per shift in three shifts. The project would also employ fourteen drivers throughout four shifts, with the number of drivers varying for each shift. RMW/APHIS Waste Receiving/Unloading RMW/APHIS waste would be delivered to the project site by a fleet of trucks in containers approved for such purpose. These trucks would include tractor trailers ranging from 28 feet to 53 feet (75 feet long with cab), including the use of doubles (two-28 foot trailers coupled together), as well as bobtail trucks that are 26 feet (34 feet with cab). Facility personnel would be present at the entrance to ensure that only authorized trucks enter the site. Upon arrival on -site, the trucks would stop in the loading/unloading area The trucks would remain locked while the driver checks in with staff, presenting the necessary documentation. When a dock door becomes available, the truck would back up to the receiving docks and would be unloaded. In accordance with SCAQMD regulations, trucks would not idle for no longer than five minutes. The containers would be unloaded manually from the truck onto the flushed track system in the container receiving area, where each container would be inspected at a scale. During the inspection, each container would be checked for leaks or spillage, weighed, and scanned for radioactive and non -treatable wastes such as elemental mercury (which would be separated out for transport off -site as quickly as possible as further discussed below). Waste discrepancies would be recorded on a waste tracking discrepancy log. Once inspected, the containers would be conveyed to the container dumpers, which would automatically transfer the waste containers into 5.5 feet by 5.5 feet autoclave bins. It is anticipated that approximately 60 percent of the RMW/APHIS waste would be in disposable containers and 40 percent would be in reusable containers. The disposable containers would be treated in the autoclave and disposed of along with the medical waste. For the reusable containers (i.e., sharps containers and tubs), the RMW/APHIS waste contents would be emptied out by the dumpers into the autoclave bins. The reusable waste containers would then be transported on the gravity, roller conveyor system to the container washer for cleaning and decontamination (see below for further discussion). The autoclave bins, which are filled with wastes, would be staged on the conveyor system where it — would be conveyed to and from the autoclaves and the trash compactor. The treated medical waste receiving bin would have an elevated opening and rubber seals around all openings to prevent leaks. City of Vernon PCR Services Corporation Page A-11 Waste Management Autoclave Project November 2008 Attachment A — Project Description RMW/APHIS WASTES Treatment An autoclave is a pressurized vessel designed to produce steam under pressure to achieve sterilization and render wastes non-infectious. As mentioned above, the project's proposed autoclave facility would include two autoclaves, each designed to handle approximately 5,000 pounds per load with 20 to 22 cycles a day. The two autoclaves would have a combined design capacity to process up to 100 tons of RMW/APHIS wastes per day. The autoclave treatment cycle begins when the autoclave bins are inside and the door is locked. First, a pre-fractioned vacuum would pull air out of the autoclave at a minimum pressure of 10 inches of mercury (Hg) to achieve 100 percent steam penetration. Next, steam would be injected into the autoclave to achieve a minimum temperature of 275 degrees Fahrenheit (F) inside. At this temperature, the timer would be set for a minimum of 20 minutes indicating the start of the soak cycle. At the end of the soak cycle, the steam would be directed into a condenser and condensate would be discharged directly into to the sewer. A second vacuum of a minimum of five inches of Hg would be applied to remove the remaining steam and control odors. Air would be allowed to enter the autoclave to achieve atmospheric pressure. A light/bell -. signal would indicate completion of the treatment cycle, allowing for the autoclave doors to be opened. The entire RMW/APHIS WASTES treatment cycle would take approximately one hour. Once the treatment cycle is complete, the autoclave bins would be conveyed to the cart dumper, which would empty the wastes into the compactor. Empty autoclave bins would be sequenced back to the waste dumping station to be filled with waste. The RMW/APHIS waste, which at this point would be deemed decontaminated and municipal solid waste, would be compacted and unloaded into 35 cubic yard receiving bins. Once full, the receiving bins would either be stored on -site at the southern portion of the site. While treated waste is usually removed between 24 to 48 hours, due to extenuating circumstances (i.e., fire, Santa Ana winds, holidays, bomb threats), disposal times may vary, but would be disposed within96 hours or hauled off -site for final disposal at a Waste Management owned and operated Class III (municipal solid waste) landfill such as the Simi Valley Landfill, Antelope Valley (Palmdale) Landfill, or the Lancaster Landfill. Container Washing Empty reusable containers and lids would be taken to the washer, where they would be disinfected with a sodium bleach solution or 180 degree hot water for 15 seconds. Each container/lids would be visibly inspected by the operator to ensure that all contaminants have been removed and would be allowed to air dry. The containers and associated lids would either be stacked on -site in a staging area or reloaded on trucks for transport back to customers. City of Vernon PCR Services Corporation Page A-12 Waste Management Autoclave Project November 2008 Attachment A — Project Description Radioactive and Non -Treatable Wastes As mentioned above, at the time of truck unloading, RMW/APHIS waste containers would be checked by a permanent stationary radiation monitor (i.e., Ludlow Model 375 or approved equal) which would have an alarm system, as well by several portable monitors for more detailed inspection for radioactive wastes and non -treatable wastes.' Containers which are detected with radioactive materials would be held in a segregated radioactive waste holding area away from workers, for tracking and treatment in accordance with federal, state, and local guidelines. The location of this holding area is shown in Figure A-4 on page A-7, above. Per California Department of Public Health (CDPH)'- Medical Waste Management Program guidelines, those containers detected with radiation of greater than three times the background level, but less than 1,000 micro R per hour or equivalent would be set aside and would be held on -site for isolation to allow radioactivity to decay to a level of three times background levels or less prior to treatment. If after 48 hours, readings of radioactivity remain above three times the background levels, the Radiologic Health Branch and the Medical Waste Management Program of the CDPH shall be notified until further directions are provided, including the possibility of holding the waste for further decay. Those medical waste containers detected with radiation readings greater than 1,000 micro R per hour or equivalent shall be immediately set aside and the generator, Radiologic Health Branch, and the Medical Waste Management Program of the CDPH notified for further instructions, including having the generator make arrangements for transport of radioactive material returned to their site. Those RMW/APHIS waste that decay to background levels would then be re-entered into the treatment process. RMW/APHIS waste containers would also be checked for non -treatable wastes such as elemental mercury, chemotherapy and pathological wastes. It is not anticipated that elemental mercury would be found as it has been phased out from hospital use. However, some medical waste may still contain elemental mercury (from thermometers, blood pressure equipment, etc.).' Thus, in the event elemental mercury is found, it would be treated as hazardous waste and would not be accepted, set aside and stored in the hazardous materials area for proper disposal, and source notified for return. The remaining non -treatable wastes (including pharmaceutical waste classified as "California only hazardous waste" by Chapter 11, Title 22 of the CFR) would be —_ separated out, packaged and marked according to the Medical Waste Management Act (MWMA), and temporarily stored for transfer for proper disposal. These wastes would be transferred no later than 30 days to an incineration facility, most likely out -of state (e.g., in Utah, As a precautionary measure, there will be a source on -site to test radiation monitoring equipment in addition to a yearly test that will be conducted by a certified radiation testing company. Records will also be kept on -site. z Formerly known as the California Department of Health Services. s In 1998, the American Hospital Association (AHA) signed an agreement with the United States Environmental Protection Agency committing to the virtual elimination of mercury from hospital waste. City of Vernon PCR Services Corporation Page A-13 Waste Management Autoclave Project November 2008 Attachment A — Project Description Texas), or at a facility with alternative technologies as they become available. Untreated medical waste would not be stored in the yard at any time. Safety Operations (i.e., spill clean up, protective equipment, etc) In accordance with the MWMA, a medical waste treatment permit would be obtained from the CDPH. As part of the requirements for the permit, Waste Management would be required to provide an Emergency Action Plan, which shall describe in detail the actions that will follow in the event of equipment failures, natural disaster or other occurrences. Additionally, the types and estimated quantity of infectious wastes treated on the project site would be recorded and monitored. All infectious waste containers and/or bags would be appropriately labeled as "biohazard". All plant personnel and drivers would be required to participate in Waste Management's safety programs. The safety training would be ongoing and tailored for transporting and handling of RMW and APHIS waste. One section of worker training would address compliance with the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) Bloodborne Pathogen Standard to minimize exposure risks to infectious agents. Workers would also be trained to handle unusual incidents such as spills or equipment failures so that potential exposure to infectious agents would not occur. Any spills that occur on -site would be immediately cleaned -up. Large visible pieces of RMW/APHIS materials would be swept up and placed into an autoclave bin for treatment. A disinfectant, cleaning solution would be sprayed onto the spill area to ensure that the area would be sanitized. The area would then be cleaned up with a mop and bucket. All tools used in the spill clean-up process would be disinfected and cleaned. Spill kits would be available throughout the facility (including a separate spill kit for elemental mercury) and would consist of hazardous materials suit, barricade tape, duct tape, paper towels, gloves, germicidal soap, masks, red bags, shovel, broom, and extra cardboard containers. In the event of a leak or spill of medical waste during collection and transportation of the waste to and from the facility, the supervisor on duty would be called and the leak or spill reported to the Office of Emergency Services.' Decontamination would occur through methods/ -- procedures pursuant to Sections 118275-118320 of the California Health and Safety Code. If a truck is involved in an accident, the enclosed containers would typically keep all the medical waste containers inside the truck body. The medical waste would also be contained in the boxes 4 Department of Toxic Substances Control, Managing Hazardous Wastes at Transfer Facilities, October 2006, available online at: aFS Trans Facilities.txlt. website accessed May 6, 2008; Department of Toxic substances Control, Security Enhancements for Hazardous Waste Handling and Transportation, Fact Sheet, January 2003; available online at: http:;;%i�1a%w.disc.ca.Gov-HazardFS Security.�2 website accessed May 6, 2008. City of Vernon Waste Management Autoclave Project PCR Services Corporation November 2008 Page A-14 Attachment A — Project Description and tubs, which should prevent leakage or spillage of its contents. If in the event of a highly unlikely accident medical waste containers are ejected out of the truck body and damaged such that spills occur, the drivers would be required to provide proper spill clean up and control. Spill kits are available in each vehicle such that the material can be picked up, repackaged into boxes/tubs and the area decontaminated. An Exposure Control Plan would be in place during the operational life of the project. The Exposure Control Plan would set forth standard operating procedures to prevent worker exposure to infectious wastes. The plan would instruct workers on proper work practices (e.g., loading/unloading of containers, washing of containers) as well as proper protective equipment. The plan would designate supervisors responsible for enforcing exposure control procedures and would be updated as necessary. Additionally, all project personnel would undergo a worker safety training program to improve worker safety. Workers would be properly trained to ensure that injuries due to manual moving and lifting of waste containers would be minimized. Operating personnel would be required to wear personnel protective equipment (PPE) while working in areas where RMW/APHIS wastes handling operations occur. PPE would include, but not be limited to, the following: uniforms; water resistant, steel toed boots; face shields; safety glasses; aprons; puncture resistant gloves; and dust masks. The type of PPE required would be dependent on the personnel's particular job task. In addition to the medical waste to be treated on -site, the facility would routinely store and use potentially hazardous chemicals, such as compressed gas, waste oil and boiler water additive. Waste Management has prepared a Hazardous Material Business Plan (HMBP), and submitted this plan to the City. The HMBP will be updated periodically, kept on - site and made available to any emergency response personnel D. NECESSARY APPROVALS Several project approvals are required for development of the Vernon Autoclave Facility Project. Discretionary approvals associated with the proposed project would include, but are not - limited to, the following: • California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Review; • Conditional Use Permit (CUP) to permit operation of an autoclave facility within a I -zone; • Medical Waste Treatment Permit from the California Department of Public Health (CDPH); City of Vernon PCR Services Corporation Page A-15 Waste Management Autoclave Project November 2008 Attachment A — Project Description • Los Angeles County Sanitation District (LACSD) Industrial Waste Water Discharge Permit; • Notice of Intent to obtain coverage under the NPDES Industrial Stormwater General Permit (renewal required every five years); • Compliance agreement with the USDA for the treatment of APHIS regulated waste; • South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) permit for boiler; • Grading, foundation, and building permits from City of Vernon; • Upon State approval of project plans, an approved copy shall be submitted to the City; and • Additional actions as may be determined necessary. City of Vernon PCR Services Corporation Page A-16 Waste Management Autoclave Project November 2008 ATTACHMENT B - EXPLANATION OF CHECKLIST ATTACHMENT B EXPLANATION OF CHECKLIST DETERMINATIONS I. AESTHETICS. Would the project: a. Have a substantial adverse effect on a scenic vista? No Impact. The project site is located in the highly industrialized City of Vernon and characterized by a relatively flat topography. Existing views from the project site and surrounding area generally consists of large blocks of industrial buildings with little to no vegetation. Thus, no scenic vistas exist within the project area. Furthermore, the proposed project consists of the development of an autoclave facility within an existing 13,637 square foot warehouse. The proposed project would not increase the existing building height or mass and existing views would remain essentially unchanged. As such, the project would not have a substantial adverse effect on a scenic vista. No impacts would occur, and no mitigation measures would be necessary. b. Substantially damage scenic resources, including, but not limited to, trees, rock outcroppings, and historic buildings, or other locally recognized desirable aesthetic natural feature within a designated scenic highway? No Impact. The project site is not located adjacent to a designated scenic highway.' Furthermore, the project site is fully developed with an existing 13,637 square foot concrete tilt - up warehouse, a metal canopy (formerly used as a wash rack), and surface parking. No scenic resources, inclusive of trees, rock outcroppings, or historic buildings, exist on the site. As such, the project would not substantially damage scenic resources within a scenic highway. No impacts would occur, and no mitigation measures would be necessary. c. Substantially degrade the existing visual character or quality of the site and its surroundings? Less Than Significant Impact. The proposed project consists of the development of an autoclave facility within an existing 13,637 square foot industrial warehouse. Exterior alterations to the project site would include the reconfiguration of the loading dock area as well as the construction of a trash compactor, condenser, and boiler located outside the main building. 1 California Scenic Highways Program, ha):/Avww.clot. ca.govilzgILcrncLlrcliscenic high ivais scenic hwv.htm. City of Vernon PCR Services Corporation Page B-1 Waste Management Autoclave Project November 2008 Attachment B — Explanation of Checklist Determination Thus, the project would alter the existing visual character of the project site. However, as discussed above, the project site is located in the highly industrialized City of Vernon. The project site and surrounding area are developed with large blocks of industrial buildings with little to no landscaping. Thus, the existing visual quality of the site and surroundings is considered low. The proposed project's autoclave facility would be consistent with the industrial character of the surrounding uses. As such, implementation of the proposed project would not substantially degrade the visual quality of the site and surrounding area. Project impacts to visual quality would be less than significant, and no mitigation measures would be necessary. d. Create a new source of substantial light or glare which would adversely affect day or nighttime views in the area? Less Than Significant Impact. The project site is fully developed with an existing 13,637 square foot concrete tilt -up warehouse, a metal canopy (formerly used as a wash rack), and surface parking in the highly industrialized City of Vernon. Existing exterior lighting on the project site consists of security lighting on the walls of the existing warehouse. The proposed project, which consists of the development of an autoclave facility within the existing warehouse, would introduce new lighting sources. Specifically, lighting poles, approximately 35 feet high, would be installed at the rear of the site and would be shielded to prevent light spillover. Given that project lighting would be shielded and the absence of sensitive receptors (e.g., residential uses) in the project area, impacts with regard to light and glare would be less than significant, and no mitigation measures would be necessary. II. AGRICULTURAL RESOURCES. In determining whether impacts to agricultural - resources are significant environmental effects, lead agencies may refer to the California agricultural land evaluation and site assessment model (1997) prepared by the California department of conservation as an optional model to use in assessing impacts on agriculture - and farmland. Would the project_ a. Convert Prime Farmland, Unique Farmland, or Farmland of Statewide Importance, as shown on the maps prepared pursuant to the Farmland Mapping and Monitoring Program of the California Resources Agency, to non-agricultural use? No Impact. The project site is fully developed with an existing 13,637 square foot concrete tilt -up warehouse, a metal canopy (formerly used as a wash rack), and surface parking. The project site is not mapped as Prime Farmland, Unique Farmland, or Farmland of Statewide City of Vernon Waste Management Autoclave Project PCR services Corporation November 2008 Page B-2 Attachment B — Explanation of Checklist Determination Importance.' Furthermore, the project site is located in the highly industrialized City of Vernon, where no farmland or agricultural uses occur. Therefore, the project would not convert farmland to non-agricultural use. No impacts would occur, and no mitigation measures would be necessary. b. Conflict with the existing zoning for agricultural use, or a Williamson Act Contract? No Impact. The site is zoned I, "Industrial", per the City of Vernon Zoning Code. No agricultural uses are permitted under the current zoning designation. In addition, the project site is not enrolled under a Williamson Act contract.' Therefore, the project would not conflict with existing agricultural zoning or a Williamson Act contract. No impacts would occur, and no mitigation measures would be necessary. c. Involve other changes in the existing environment which, due to their location or nature, could result in conversion of Farmland, to non-agricultural use? No Impact. As discussed above in Response II(a), the project site is located in the highly industrialized City of Vernon, where no farmland or agricultural uses occur. Thus, the proposed _ project would not result in the conversion of farmland to non-agricultural uses. No impacts would occur, and no mitigation measures would be necessary. III. AIR QUALITY. Where available, the significance criteria established by the applicable air quality management or air pollution control district may be relied upon to - make the following determinations. Would the project: a. Conflict with or obstruct implementation of the applicable air quality plan? Less Than Significant Impact. The project site is located within the 6,745 square mile South Coast Air Basin (Basin). The South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) is required, pursuant to the Clean Air Act, to reduce emissions of criteria pollutants for which the Basin is in non -attainment (i.e., ozone, particulate matter, and fine particulate matter). The _ SCAQMD has adopted a series of Air Quality Management Plans (AQMP) to meet the applicable state and federal standards. The SCAQMD adopts rules and regulations to implement 2 California Department of Conservation, Farmland Mapping and Monitoring Program, Important Farmland in California 2004; ftn ;% .consi v� ca. eoi,pzrnzp2004 8LL d, accessed October 5, 2 00 7. s California Department of Conservation, Division of Land Resource Protection, Williamson Act Program; lrttp:: iivw;t.consrv.ca.,ot-1)11�1?''lcsr; ; accessed October 5, 2007. City of Vernon PCR Services Corporation Page B-3 Waste Management Autoclave Project November 2008 Attachment B — Explanation of Checklist Determination portions of the AQMP. The AQMP contains a comprehensive list of pollution control strategies directed at reducing emissions and achieving ambient air quality standards. These strategies are developed, in part, based on regional population, housing, and employment projections prepared by the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG). SCAG is the regional planning agency for Los Angeles, Orange, Ventura, Riverside, San Bernardino, and Imperial counties and addresses regional issues relating to transportation, the economy, community development, and the environment.' With regard to air quality planning, SCAG has prepared the Regional Comprehensive Plan and Guide (RCPG), which includes Growth Management and Regional Mobility chapters that form the basis for the land use and transportation control portions of the AQMP and are utilized in the preparation of the air quality forecasts and consistency analysis included in the AQMP. Both the RCPG and AQMP are based on projections originating with county and city general plans. The proposed project would be generally consistent with the land use designations of the City of Vernon General Plan (discussed below in Response IX(b), and would, therefore, also be considered generally consistent with the region's AQMP. In addition, as discussed below, project implementation would not result in an exceedance of ambient air quality standards or thresholds. Therefore, the proposed project would not conflict with or obstruct implementation of the SCAQMD's AQMP. The Congestion Management Program (CMP) was enacted by the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) to address traffic congestion issues that could impact quality of life and economic vitality. The intent of the program is to provide an analytical basis for transportation decisions throughout the area. An analysis is required at all CMP monitoring intersections for which a project is projected to add 50 or more trips during any peak hour. In addition, analysis is required for all freeway segments for which a project is projected to add 150 or more hourly trips, in either direction, during the peak hours analyzed. As discussed below in Response XV(a), the project is expected to generate four daily net new A.M. peak hour trips and two daily net new P.M. peak hour trips.' Additionally, the project is expected to generate a maximum of 17 hourly trips between the non -peak hours of 4:00 A.M. to 7:00 A.M. As a result, the project would not exceed any CMP thresholds and no impact to the CMP network would occur. Thus, the project would not conflict with or obstruct implementation of the CMP. 4 SCAG serves as the federally designated metropolitan planning organization (MPO) for the southern California region. 5 Technical Memorandum dated October 8, 2008 from Fehr & Peers/Kaku Associates to PCR Services Corporation. City of Vernon Waste Management Autoclave Project PCR Services Corporation November 2008 Page B-4 Attachment B — Explanation of Checklist Determination Based on the above discussion of applicable air quality plans, implementation of the proposed project would result in less than significant impacts and no mitigation measures would be necessary. b. Violate any air quality standard or contribute substantially to an existing or projected air quality violation? Less Than Significant Impact. As indicated above in Response III(a), the project site is located within the Basin. The Basin is characterized by relatively poor air quality. State and federal air quality standards are often exceeded in many parts of the Basin. Based on the following analysis, construction and operation of the project would not result in significant impacts associated with violation of an air quality standard or contribution to an existing or projected air quality violation. Construction The proposed project contains design features that would reduce emissions during construction activities. The project features listed below are prescribed to reduce short-term air quality impacts during project construction to the maximum extent feasible. The following features are consistent with SCAQMD Rule 403 (Appendix A), and are accounted for in the analysis of construction emissions. Project Features • The owner or contractor shall keep the construction area sufficiently dampened to control dust caused by construction and hauling, and at all times provide reasonable control of dust caused by wind. • All loads shall be secured by trimming, watering or other appropriate means to prevent spillage and dust. • All materials transported off -site shall be either sufficiently watered or securely covered to prevent excessive amount of dust. • All earth moving or excavation activities shall be discontinued during periods of high winds (i.e., greater than 15 miles per hour), so as to prevent excessive amounts of dust. City of Vernon PCR Services Corporation Page B-5 Waste Management Autoclave Project November 2008 Attachment B — Explanation of Checklist Determination Regional Impacts Regional construction -related emissions associated with heavy construction equipment were calculated using the LTRBEMIS2007 emissions inventory model originally developed by the California Air Resources Board (CARB). Model results are provided in Appendix A. The analysis assumed that all construction activities would comply with SCAQMD Rule 403 regarding the control of fugitive dust. A summary of unmitigated maximum daily regional emissions are presented in Table B-1 on page B-7, along with the regional significance thresholds for each air pollutant. As shown therein, maximum regional construction emissions would not exceed the thresholds for volatile organic compounds (VOC), oxides of nitrogen (NOx), carbon monoxide (CO), sulfur dioxide (SOx), particulate matter of 10 microns or less (PMIo) or particulate matter of 2.5 microns or less (PM2.5). Therefore, regional short-term emissions resulting from project construction would not result in a significant impact. Localized Impacts The localized effects of daily construction emissions generated on -site were evaluated for sensitive receptor locations potentially impacted by the project according to the SCAQMD's localized significance threshold (LST) methodology, which utilizes on -site mass emissions rate look -up tables and project specific modeling, where appropriate. LSTs are only applicable to the following criteria pollutants: NOx, CO, PMIo, and PM2.5. LSTs represent the maximum emissions from a project that are not expected to cause or contribute to an exceedance of the most stringent applicable federal or state ambient air quality standard and are developed based on the ambient concentrations of that pollutant for each source receptor area (SRA) and distance to the nearest sensitive receptor. For PMIo and PM2_5, LSTs were derived based on the requirements of SCAQMD Rule 403, Fugitive Dust. The mass rate look -up tables were developed for each SRA and can be used to determine whether or not a project may generate significant adverse localized air quality impacts. The LST mass rate look -up tables only apply to projects that are less than or equal to five acres in size. A conservative estimate of maximum local (on -site) daily emissions for NOx, PMIo, PM2.5, and CO for each phase of construction is presented in Table B-1. Localized construction emissions thresholds, based on the construction site acreage and distance to the closest off -site sensitive receptor, were obtained from the LST look -up tables and are also listed in Table B-1. The closest residential uses are located approximately 2,500 feet (762 meters) to the south of the project site. As presented in Table B-1, construction -related daily maximum localized emissions would not exceed the SCAQMD daily significance thresholds for NOx, CO, PMIo, and PM2.5. Therefore, localized short-term emissions resulting from project construction would not result in a significant impact.

The equipment mix and use assumption for each phase is provided in Appendix A. b PMIO emissions estimates are based on compliance with SCAQMD Rule 403 requirements for fugitive dust suppression. The SCAQMD Localized Significance Thresholds (LSTs) are based on Source Receptor Area No. 1 (Central LA) for a two acre site with a receptor distance of at a minimum of 1,640 feet (500 meters). Source: PCR Services Corporation, 2008. As shown Table B-1 below, emissions from project construction activities would be - lower than both localized and regional SCAQMD significance thresholds. Therefore, project construction would not violate an air quality standard or contribute significantly to an existing or projected air quality violation and impacts would be less than significant. Operations The SCAQMD has also established separate significance thresholds to evaluate potential impacts associated with the incremental increase in criteria air pollutants associated with long-term project operations. Project operations could potentially increase mobile source emissions as well as emissions generated by area sources (e.g., natural gas combustion, landscape fuel combustion, consumer products, and architectural coatings). Operational emissions related to baseline and project conditions were computed using the URBEMIS2007 emissions inventory model. City of Vernon PCR Services Corporation Page B-7 Waste Management Autoclave Project November 2008 Attachment B — Explanation of Checklist Determination Regional Impacts As discussed below in Response XV(a), there would be a net increase of 28 vehicular daily trips following implementation of the project.' As the footprint of the building would remain the same as is currently built, electricity and natural gas consumption associated with cooling, lighting, power needs and comfort heating would remain similar. Therefore, the net increase in operational emissions were estimated based on the increase in vehicular traffic and the use of natural gas in the new stationary source (a boiler to generate the steam needed in the autoclaves). The results of the detailed emissions calculations are provided in Table B-2 on page B-9, and the URBEMIS2007 model output files are available in Appendix A. As indicated therein, the project would result in an increase of criteria pollutant emissions. However, this increase is predicted to be below the SCAQMD daily significance thresholds for long-term regional operations. Therefore, the project would have a less than significant impact on air quality resulting from long-term operational emissions and no mitigation measures would be necessary. Localized Impacts Within an urban setting, vehicle exhaust is the primary source of CO. Consequently, the highest CO concentrations are generally found within close proximity to congested intersection — locations. Under typical meteorological conditions, CO concentrations tend to decrease as distance from the emissions source (i.e., congested intersection) increase. For purposes of providing a conservative, impact analysis, CO concentrations are typically analyzed at congested intersection locations, because if impacts are less than significant in close proximity of the congested intersections, impacts will also be less than significant at more distant sensitive receptor locations. Project traffic, during the operational phase of the proposed project, would have the potential to create local area CO impacts. The SCAQMD recommends a hot -spot evaluation of potential localized CO impacts when volume -to -capacity ratios are increased by two percent at intersections with a level of service (LOS) of C or worse. None of the intersections evaluated in the Traffic Impact Study prepared by Fehr & Peers/Kakis Associates (see Appendix B of this document) met these requirements. Therefore, it is concluded that the proposed project would not cause any new or exacerbate any existing CO hotspots, and, as a result, impacts related to localized mobile -source CO emissions would be less than significant. No mitigation measures for operational air impacts would be necessary. 6 The existing CUP for the truck terminal uses that operated on -site allows a maximum of 110 daily trips are allowed per day With the proposed project, 138 vehicle trips per day would be generated upon frill project buildout, City of Vernon PCR Services Corporation Page B-8 Waste Management Autoclave Project November 2008 Attachment B — Explanation of Checklist Determination Table B-2 Maximum Incremental Increase in Project -Related Operational Emissions (2010) (Pounds per Day) Emission Source VOC NO, CO Sox PMto PM25 Net New Emissions Net Mobile 2 29 11 <1 2 1 — Net Stationary 1 23 19 <1 2 p Total Net New 3 52 30 <1 4 1 SCAQMD Significance Threshold 55 55 550 150 150 55 _ Difference (52) (3) (520) (1.511) (1.46) (54) Significant?

Source: PCR Services Corporation, 2008. c. Result in a cumulatively considerable net increase of any criteria pollutant for which the project region is in non -attainment under an applicable federal or state ambient air quality standard (including releasing emissions which exceed quantitative thresholds for ozone precursors)? Less Than Significant Impact. The SCAQMD's approach for assessing cumulative impacts related to operations is based on attainment of ambient air quality standards in accordance with the requirements of the Federal and State Clean Air Acts. As discussed earlier, the SCAQMD has developed a comprehensive plan, the AQMP, which addresses the region's cumulative air quality condition. A significant impact may occur if a project would add a cumulatively considerable contribution of a federal or State non -attainment pollutant. Because the Basin is currently in nonattainment for 03, PMIo, and PM2.5, related projects could exceed an air quality standard or contribute to an existing or projected air quality exceedance. Cumulative impacts to air quality are evaluated under two sets of thresholds for CEQA and the SCAQMD. In particular, CEQA Guidelines Section 15064(h)(3) provides guidance in determining the significance of cumulative impacts. Specifically, Section 15064(h)(3) states in part that: A lead agency may determine that a project's incremental contribution to a cumulative effect is not cumulatively considerable if the project will comply with the requirements in a previously approved plan or mitigation program which provides specific requirements that will avoid or substantially lessen the cumulative problem (e.g., water quality control plan, air quality plan, integrated waste management plan) within the geographic area in ._ City of Vernon Waste Management Autoclave Project PCR Services Corporation November 2008 Page B-9 Attachment B — Explanation of Checklist Determination which the project is located. Such plans or programs must be specified in law or adopted by the public agency with jurisdiction over the affected resources through a public review process to implement, interpret, or make specific the law enforced or administered by the public agency... For purposes of the cumulative air quality analysis with respect to CEQA Guidelines Section 15064(h)(3), the project's incremental contribution to cumulative air quality impacts is determined based on compliance with the SCAQMD AQMP. As previously described in Response III(a), a project is deemed inconsistent with air quality plans if it results in population and/or employment growth that exceeds growth estimates in the applicable AQMP. In turn, the AQMP relies upon growth projections adopted by the SCAG, which in turn, relies upon adopted general plan growth projections. Consequently, compliance with the City's general plan typically results in compliance with the AQMP. As the proposed project is not part of an ongoing regulatory program, the SCAQMD recommends that project -specific air quality impacts be used to determine the potential cumulative impacts to regional air quality. As discussed above, peak daily emissions of operation -related pollutants would not exceed SCAQMD regional significance thresholds. By applying SCAQMD's cumulative air quality impact methodology, implementation of the proposed project would not result in an addition of criteria pollutants such that cumulative impacts, in conjunction with related projects in the region, would occur. Therefore, the emissions of non -attainment pollutants and precursors generated by project operation would be less than significant. Greenhouse Gas Emissions Global climate change refers to changes in average climatic conditions on Earth as a whole, including changes in temperature, wind patterns, precipitation and storms. Historical records indicate that global climate changes have occurred in the past due to natural phenomena; however, data indicate that current global conditions differ from past climate changes in rate and magnitude. According to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), the increase in atmospheric greenhouse gases (GHGs) is the result of human activities, namely fossil fuel combustion, land use changes, and agriculture.' 7 IPCC Summary for Policymakers. In: Climate Change 2007: The Physical Science Basis. Contribution of Working Group I to the Fourth Assessment Report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, 2007. Available in Appendix A. City of Vernon PCR Services Corporation Page B-10 Waste Management Autoclave Project November 2008 Attachment B — Explanation of Checklist Determination Greenhouse gases are those compounds in the Earth's atmosphere that play a critical role in determining the Earth's surface temperature. Specifically, these gases allow high -frequency solar radiation to enter the Earth's atmosphere, but retain the low frequency energy which is radiated back from the Earth to space, resulting in a warming of the atmosphere. This phenomenon is known as the greenhouse effect. Increased concentrations of GHGs in the Earth's atmosphere are thought to be linked to global climate change and such conditions as rising surface temperatures, melting icebergs and snow pack, rising sea levels, and the increased frequency and magnitude of severe weather conditions. GHGs include CO2, methane (CH4), 03, water vapor, nitrous oxide (N2O), hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), perfluorocarbons (PFCs), and sulfur hexafluoride (SF6). Carbon dioxide is the most abundant GHG. GHGs are the result of natural and anthropogenic activities. Forest fires, decomposition, industrial processes, landfills, and consumption of fossil fuels for power generation, transportation, heating, and cooking are the primary sources of GHG emissions. According to the California Energy Commission (CEC), emissions from fossil fuel consumption represent approximately 81 percent of all GHG emissions and transportation creates 41 percent of all GHG emissions in California. Our understanding of the fundamental processes responsible for global climate change has improved over the past decade, and our predictive capabilities are advancing. However, there remain significant scientific uncertainties, in predictions of local effects of climate change, occurrence of extreme weather events, effects of aerosols, changes in clouds, shifts in the intensity and distribution of precipitation, and changes in oceanic circulation. Due to the complexity of the Earth's climate system, the uncertainty surrounding climate change may never be completely eliminated. Because of these uncertainties, there continues to be significant -- debate as to the extent to which increased concentrations of GHGs have caused or will cause climate change, and with respect to the appropriate actions to limit and/or respond to climate change. In addition, it is impossible to link a single development project with future specific - climate change impacts. In response to growing scientific and political concern regarding global climate change, California has recently adopted a series of laws to reduce both the level of GHGs in the atmosphere and to reduce emissions of GHGs from commercial and private activities within the State. In September 2002, Governor Gray Davis signed Assembly Bill (AB) 1493, requiring the development and adoption of regulations to achieve "the maximum feasible reduction of greenhouse gases" emitted by noncommercial passenger vehicles, light -duty trucks, and other -- vehicles used primarily for personal transportation in the State. The Federal Clean Air Act allows States to set state -specific emission standards on automobiles if they first obtain a waiver from the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA). The USEPA denied California's request for a waiver, thus delaying the California Air Resources Board's (CARB's) proposed implementation schedule for setting emission standards on automobiles to help reduce GHGs. City of Vernon Waste Management Autoclave Project PCR Services Corporation November 2008 Page B-11 Attachment B — Explanation of Checklist Determination In June 2005, Governor Schwarzenegger signed Executive Order 5-3-05, which established GHG emissions targets for the State, as well as a process to ensure that the targets are met. As a result of this executive order, the California Climate Action Team (CAT), led by the Secretary of the California States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), was formed. The CAT published its report in March 2006, in which it laid out several recommendations and strategies for reducing GHG emissions and reaching the targets established in the executive order.' In September 2006, Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger signed the California Global Warming Solutions Act of 2006, also known as A1332, into law. AB32 commits the State to the — following: • 2000 GHG emission levels by 2010 (which represents an approximately 11 percent reduction from emissions projections if current GHG production rates are not altered, or so called "business as usual"); • 1990 levels by 2020 (25 percent below "business as usual"); and • 80 percent below 1990 levels by 2050. To achieve these goals, AB32 mandates that CARB establish a quantified emissions cap, institute a schedule to meet the cap, implement regulations to reduce Statewide GHG emissions from stationary sources, and develop tracking, reporting, and enforcement mechanisms to ensure that reductions are achieved. Senate Bill (SB) 1368, a companion bill to A1332, requires the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) and CEC to establish GHG emission performance standards for the generation of electricity. These standards will also apply to power that is generated outside of California and imported into the State. California Senate Bill 97 (SB97), passed in August 2007, is designed to work in conjunction with CEQA and AB32. SB97 requires the California Office of Planning and Research (OPR) to prepare and develop guidelines for the analysis and mitigation of GHG emissions or the effects thereof, including but not limited to, effects associated with -- transportation and energy consumption. These guidelines must be transmitted to the Resources Agency by July 1, 2009, to be certified and adopted by January 1, 2010. The OPR and the Resources Agency shall periodically update these guidelines to incorporate new information or criteria established by CARB pursuant to AB32. SB97 will apply retroactively to any EIR, negative declaration, mitigated negative declaration, or other document required by CEQA, which has not been finalized. y California Climate Action Team. Climate Action Team Report to Governor Schwarzenegger and the Legislature, 2006. City of Vernon Waste Management Autoclave Project PCR Services Corporation November 2008 Page B-12 Attachment B — Explanation of Checklist Determination There has also been activity at the Federal level with respect to the regulation of GHGs. In Massachusetts v. Environmental Protection Agency (Docket No. 05-1120), argued November 29, 2006 and decided April 2, 2007, the U.S. Supreme Court held that not only did the USEPA have authority to regulate greenhouse gases, but that the USEPA's reasons for not regulating this area did not fit the statutory requirements. As such, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that the USEPA should be required to regulate CO2 and other greenhouse gases as pollutants under the Clean Air Act. To date, the USEPA has not developed a regulatory program for greenhouse gas emissions. At this time, no air agency, including the SCAQMD, has established project -level significance thresholds for GHGs emissions. AB32 did not set a significance threshold for GHG emissions, although EPA, CARB or another agency may issue regulations at some point which may set forth significance criteria for CEQA analysis. The City of Vernon has not established significance thresholds with respect to GHG. However, the California Climate Action Registry (CCAR) has prepared a protocol for calculating and reporting GHG emissions. Thus, GHG emissions can be quantified for both construction and operation of the proposed project, for informational purposes. Greenhouse gas emissions from construction activities were forecasted by developing a reasonable estimate of construction schedule and phasing, and applying published GHG emission factors. Mobile source emission factors were derived from EMFAC2007 and construction equipment emission factors were derived from OFFROAD2007. The minor amount of demolition and construction needed to make the necessary improvements result in approximately 17 tons of CO2e, expected to be released in one year. A complete listing of the construction equipment by phase, construction phase duration, and emissions estimation model input assumptions used in this analysis is included within the emissions calculation worksheets that are provided in Appendix A. Greenhouse gas emissions from operations can be estimated based on the incremental increase in on -road mobile sources and boiler natural gas usage. EMFAC2007 emission factors for CO2e were applied to the average annual vehicle miles traveled (VMT) estimated for both existing and project buildout and then converted to metric tons. Based on CCAR calculations, CO2e emissions from the project would generate approximately 2,180 net new tons of CO2e per year, representing 0.00045 percent of the 2004 State emission level. A complete listing of the model input assumptions for operational emissions estimation is included within the emissions calculation worksheets that are provided in Appendix A. Emitting GHGs into the atmosphere is not itself an adverse environmental effect. Rather, it is the increased accumulation of GHGs in the atmosphere that may result in global climate change. The resultant consequences of that climate change can cause adverse environmental City of Vernon PCR Services Corporation Page B-13 Waste Management Autoclave Project November 2008 Attachment B — Explanation of Checklist Determination effects. Due to the complex physical, chemical, and atmospheric mechanisms involved in global climate change, it is not possible to predict the specific impact, if any, to global climate change from one project's emissions. d. Expose sensitive receptors to substantial pollutant concentrations? Less Than Significant Impact. Certain population groups are especially sensitive to air pollution and should be given special consideration when evaluating potential air quality impacts. These population groups include children, the elderly, persons with pre-existing respiratory or cardiovascular illness, and athletes and others who engage in frequent exercise. As defined in the SCAQMD CEQA Air Quality Handbook, a sensitive receptor to air quality is defined as any of the following land use categories: (1) long-term health care facilities; (2) rehabilitation centers; (3) convalescent centers; (4) retirement homes; (5) residences; (6) schools; (7) parks and playgrounds; (8) child care centers; and (9) athletic fields. The nearest sensitive receptors are residences 2,500 feet (762 meters) south of the project site boundary. As described in Response III(b) above, construction and operation of the project would not result in any substantial localized. or regional air pollution impacts and, therefore, would not expose nearby sensitive receptors to substantial pollutant concentrations. In addition, construction activities would comply with SCAQMD Rule 403 regarding the control of fugitive dust and other specified dust control measures. As such, impacts to off -site sensitive receptors would be less than significant and no mitigation measures would be necessary. The primary sources of potential air toxics associated with proposed project operations include diesel PMio from delivery trucks (e.g., truck traffic on local streets and on -site truck idling). The SCAQMD recommends that health risk assessments be conducted for substantial sources of diesel PMIo (e.g., truck stops and warehouse distribution facilities) and has provided guidance for analyzing mobile source diesel emissions.' Specifically, the SCAQMD recommends a minimum distance of 1,000 feet between a distribution center that accommodates more than 100 trucks per day and sensitive land uses. In 2004, CARB adopted an Airborne Toxic Control Measure (ATCM) to limit heavy duty diesel motor vehicle idling in order to reduce public exposure to diesel PM and other TACs and air pollutants. The measure applies to diesel -fueled commercial vehicles with gross vehicle weight ratings greater than 10,000 pounds which are licensed to operate on highways, regardless of where they are registered. This measure does not allow diesel fueled commercial vehicles to idle for more than 5 minutes at any given time. 9 SCAQMD, Health Risk Assessment Guidance for Analyzing Cancer Risks from Mobile Source Diesel Emissions, December 2002. City of Vernon PCR Services Corporation Page B-14 Waste Management Autoclave Project November 2008 Attachment B — Explanation of Checklist Determination While the proposed project would not be considered a distribution center, it would include diesel truck trips and on -site idling and a comparison to the SCAQMD siting criteria is appropriate. The proposed project would accommodate a total of 138 daily trips. Employees in personal automobiles would represent an estimated 82 daily trips, and diesel powered trucks would represent only 76 daily trips. The nearest sensitive receptors are residences located 2,500 feet south of the project site boundary. As the proposed project would accommodate less than 100 trucks per day and sensitive receptors would be more than 1,000 feet from the project site, the proposed project would be consistent with the SCAQMD siting criteria for air toxic emitting sources. Based on the limited activity of the toxic air contaminant sources, the — proposed project does not warrant the need for a health risk assessment associated with on -site activities, and potential air impacts from mobile sources would be less than significant. In 1997, the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) commissioned a study of the steam autoclaving process also analyzing autoclaving along with other treatment options.10 The results of that study indicate that hazards related directly to medical waste came significantly from blood and liquid spills and from exposure to sharps, which was greatly reduced in the plant where the waste handling occurred. In addition, area samples for microbial aerosol emissions (aerosolized bacteria indicator spores) were negative, indicating that any existing airborne droplets were sufficiently large to fall out of the air quickly. Thus, the project's autoclave process would not result in hazardous air impacts to employees. This project would minimize exposure to sharps and blood -borne pathogens through proper packaging, engineering controls, proper handling procedures and personal protective -- equipment. Additional measures include boxes and tubs that are designed to prevent sharps injury. Furthermore, as proper precautions would be undertaken to exclude hazardous substances such as mercury and radioactive materials from being steamed in the autoclaves, no emissions associated with such materials would occur." These procedures are detailed in Attachment A, Project Description. As such, air hazards from the treatment of the medical waste would not be an issue, and no significant impacts would occur. 10 Research Triangle Institute for the National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health- Division of Physical Sciences and Health- Engineering Control Technology Branch, " Control of Aerosol (Biological and Non - biological) and Chemical Exposures and Safety Hazards in Medical Waste Treatment Facilities", Contract No. 200-95-2960, November 1997. State of California, Department of Health Services, "Transforming Medical Waste Disposal Practices to Protect Public Health: Worker Health and Safety and the Implementation of Large -Scale, Off -Site Steam Autoclaves February 2006. City of Vernon Waste Management Autoclave Project PCR Services Corporation November 2008 Page B-15 Attachment B — Explanation of Checklist Determination e. Would the project create objectionable odors affecting a substantial number of people? Less Than Significant Impact. Potential sources that may emit odors during construction activities include the use of architectural coatings and solvents. SCAQMD Rule 1113 limits the amount of volatile organic compounds from architectural coatings and solvents. Via mandatory compliance with SCAQMD Rules, no construction activities or materials are proposed which would create objectionable odors. _ According to the SCAQMD CEQA Air Quality Handbook, land uses associated with odor complaints typically include agricultural uses, wastewater treatment plants, food processing plants, composting, refineries, landfills, dairies, and fiberglass molding. The proposed project would not generate objectionable odors such as those associated with the land uses identified by the SCAQMD. Standing water tends to be the source of stale odors for autoclave facilities. However, the project would incorporate a design compartmentalizing those areas where waste would be processed and provide sufficient drainage to eliminate the potential for stale odors to occur in the area. The system would include trench drains, area drains and floor drains. Adequate ventilation would also be provided with air changes occurring per hour in the processing and receiving areas. Furthermore, at the end of each autoclave cycle, a post -treatment vacuum would be applied to remove steam and vapors, if any. Upon development of the project, several test -runs of operations of the facility would be conducted to review any odors and formulate additional solutions. Therefore, no impacts related to objectionable odors would occur and no mitigation measures would be necessary. IV. BIOLOGICAL RESOURCES. Would the project: a. Have a substantial adverse effect, either directly or through habitat modification, on any species identified as a candidate, sensitive, or special status species in local or regional plans, policies, or regulations by the California Department of Fish and Game or U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service ? No Impact. The project site is fully developed within the highly industrialized City of Vernon. No vegetation or natural habitat exists on the project site or in the vicinity. Given the highly industrial character of the project site and surrounding area, the potential for any special status species (i.e., endangered or threatened species) to occur is highly unlikely. Therefore, the project, which consists of the development of an autoclave facility on an already developed site, would not have a substantial adverse effect on special status species. No impacts would occur, and no mitigation measures would be necessary. City of Vernon PCR Services Corporation Page B-16 Waste Management Autoclave Project November 2008 Attachment B — Explanation of Checklist Determination b. Have a substantial adverse effect on any riparian habitat or other sensitive natural community identified in the City or regional plans, policies, regulations by the California Department of Fish and Game or U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service? No Impact. As stated above in Response IV(a), the project site is fully developed within the highly industrialized City of Vernon. No vegetation or natural habitat exists on the project site or in the surrounding area. Therefore, implementation of the project would not have a substantial adverse effect on a riparian habitat or other sensitive natural community. No impacts would occur, and no mitigation measures would be necessary. c. Have a substantial adverse effect on federally protected wetlands as defined by Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (including, but not limited to, marsh vernal pool, coastal, etc.). Through direct removal, filling, hydrological interruption, or other means? No Impact. As stated above in Response IV(a), the project site is fully developed within the highly industrialized City of Vernon. The Los Angeles River located immediately to the south of the project site is concrete -lined. No federally protected waters or wetlands, as defined by Section 404 of the Clean Water Act, exist on the site or in the surrounding area. Therefore, implementation of the project would not have a substantial adverse effect on wetlands. No impacts would occur, and no mitigation measures would be necessary. d. Interfere substantially with the movement of any native resident or migratory fish or wildlife species or with established native resident or migratory wildlife corridors, or impede the use of native wildlife nursery sites? No Impact. As stated above in Response IV(a), the project site is fully developed within the highly industrialized City of Vernon. No wildlife corridors or native wildlife nursery sites are present on the site or in the surrounding area. Given the industrial character of the project area, the potential for native resident or migratory wildlife species movement to occur through the site is very low. Therefore, the project would not interfere with the movement of any native resident or migratory fish or wildlife species or use of any wildlife nursery site. No impacts would occur, and no mitigation measures would be necessary. e. Conflict with any local policies or ordinances protecting biological resources, such as tree preservation policy or ordinance (e.g., oak trees or California walnut woodlands)? No Impact. The project site is fully developed with an existing 13,637 square foot concrete tilt -up warehouse, a metal canopy (formerly used as a wash rack), and surface parking. City of Vernon Waste Management Autoclave Project PCR Services Corporation November 2008 Page B-17 Attachment B — Explanation of Checklist Determination The site is devoid of any vegetation, including locally protected trees. Therefore, the project would not conflict with any local policies or ordinances protecting biological resources, such as tree policies or ordinances. No impacts would occur, and no mitigation measures would be necessary. f. Conflict with the provisions of an adopted Habitat Conservation Plan, Natural Community Conservation Plan, or other approved local, regional, or state habitat conservation plan? No Impact. The project site is fully developed with an existing 13,637 square foot concrete tilt -up warehouse, a metal canopy (formerly used as a wash rack), and surface parking in the highly industrialized City of Vernon. The project site is devoid of any vegetation and does not provide habitat for any biological species. Accordingly, no Habitat Conservation Plan, Natural Community Conservation Plan, or other approved habitat conservation plans are applicable to the project site.'' Therefore, the project would not conflict with the provisions of an adopted habitat conservation plan. No impacts would occur, and no mitigation measures would be necessary. V. CULTURAL RESOURCES. Would the project: a. Cause a substantial adverse change in significance of a historical resource as defined in State CEQA §15064.5? No Impact. Section 15064.5(a)(3) of the CEQA Guidelines generally defines historical resources as any object, building, structure, site, area, place, record, or manuscript determined to be historically significant or significant in the architectural, engineering, scientific, economic, agricultural, educational, social, political, military, or cultural annals of California. Historical resources are further defined as being associated with significant events, important persons, or distinctive characteristics of a type, period or method of construction; as representing the work of an important creative individual; or as possessing high artistic values. The existing warehouse, which is industrial in nature, does not meet any of the above qualifications for a historical resource. Therefore, the project's development of an autoclave facility within the existing warehouse would not have an adverse effect on a historical resource. No impacts would occur, and no mitigation measures would be necessary. 12 California department of Fish and Game, Natural Community Conservation Planning (NCCP) Program, Region Map; online at http 4; lv�v.tlf.cao�s%7ralicnra accn irraa{rc s ; c�=iorr.i{, accessed October 9. 2007. City of Vernon Waste Management Autoclave Project PCR Services Corporation November 2008 Page B-18 Attachment B — Explanation of Checklist Determination b. Cause a substantial adverse change in significance of an archaeological resource pursuant to State CEQA §15064.5? No Impact. The project site is located within an area that has been developed with industrial uses for several decades. No archaeological artifacts or sites of archaeological significance are known to exist on the project site. In addition, any surficial archaeological resources that may have existed on the project site are likely to have been disturbed or previously removed. The project consists of the development of an autoclave facility within an existing warehouse. Exterior changes would be minimal, limited to the reconfiguration and resurfacing of the on -site loading dock area. No major disturbance of the ground or excavation activities would be required -only minimal surficial grading would occur during project construction. As no archaeological resources are known to be present and only minimal ground disturbance would occur as a result of the project, the project would not cause substantial adverse effects on archaeological resources. No impacts would occur, and no mitigation measures would be necessary. c. Directly or indirectly destroy a unique paleontological resource or site or unique geologic feature? No Impact. As discussed above in Response V(b), the project site is located within an area T that has been developed with industrial uses for several decades. No paleontological resources are known to exist on the project site. In addition, any surficial paleontological resources that may have existed on the project site are likely to have been disturbed or previously removed. The project consists of the development of an autoclave facility within an existing warehouse. Exterior changes would be minimal, limited to the reconfiguration and resurfacing of the on -site loading dock area. No major disturbance of the ground or excavation activities would be required — only minimal surficial grading would occur during project construction. As no paleontological resources are known to be present and only minimal ground disturbance would occur as a result of the project, the project would not cause substantial adverse effects on paleontological resources. No impacts would occur, and no mitigation measures would be necessary. d. Disturb any human remains, including those interred outside of formal cemeteries? No Impact. As discussed above in Response V(b), the project site is located within an area that has been developed with industrial uses for several decades. No human remains or formal cemeteries are known to exist on the project site. In addition, any such burial resources that may have existed on the project site are likely to have been disturbed or previously removed. The project consists of the development of autoclave facility within an existing warehouse. Exterior changes would be minimal, limited to the reconfiguration and resurfacing of the on -site _ City of Vernon Waste Management Autoclave Project PCR Services Corporation November 2008 Page B-19 Attachment B — Explanation of Checklist Determination loading dock area. No major disturbance of the ground or excavation activities would be required — only minimal surficial grading would occur during project construction. As no burial resources are known to be present and only minimal ground disturbance would occur as a result of the project, the project would not cause substantial adverse effects on human remains or other burial resources. No impacts would occur, and no mitigation measures would be necessary. VI. GEOLOGY AND SOILS. Would the project: a. Expose people or structures to potential substantial adverse effects, including the risk of loss, injury or death involving: i. Rupture of a known earthquake fault, as delineated on the most recent Alquist- - Priolo Earthquake Fault Zoning Map issued by the State Geologist for the area or based on other substantial evidence of a known fault? Refer to Division of Mines and Geology Special Publication 42. Less Than Significant Impact. Fault rupture occurs when movement on a fault deep within the earth breaks through to the surface. Based on criteria established by the California Geological Survey (CGS), faults can be classified as active, potentially active, or inactive.13 Active faults are those having historically produced earthquakes or shown evidence of movement within the past 11,000 years (during the Holocene Epoch).14 Potentially active faults have demonstrated displacement within the last 1.6 million years (during the Pleistocene Epoch), but do not displace Holocene Strata. Inactive faults do not exhibit displacement younger than -- 1.6 million years before the present. In addition, there are buried thrust faults, which are faults with no surface exposure. Due to their buried nature, the existence of buried thrust faults is usually not known until they produce an earthquake. The CGS establishes regulatory zones around active faults, called Alquist-Priolo Earthquake Fault Zones (previously called Special Study Zones). These zones, which extend from 200 to 500 feet on each side of the known fault, identify areas where potential surface fault rupture could prove hazardous for buildings used for human occupancy. Development projects located within an Alquist-Priolo Earthquake Fault Zone are required to prepare special geotechnical studies to characterize hazards from surface rupture. However, the project site is not located within an Alquist-Priolo Earthquake Fault Zone as designated by the CGS.15 73 California Department of Conservation, California Geologic Survey, available online at http i%`tivbtt� cr�Jrservatinrz.ca.�Tov�"ItrcZ��r,1-'a�c.i�%7ndtx.a.r��x. /4 Ibid. is State Geologist, Special Studies Zone Maps for Los Angeles (1-1-77), City of Los Angeles Planning Department, March 1994. City of Vernon PCR Services Corporation Page B-20 Waste Management Autoclave Project November 2008 Attachment B — Explanation of Checklist Determination The project is located within the seismically active southern California region, which is crossed by numerous active and potentially active faults and is underlain by several blind thrust faults. However, no active or potentially active faults cross beneath the project site or adjacent to the site.16 The closest active fault to the project site is the Hollywood -Raymond Fault located approximately seven miles north of the project site. The nearest blind thrust faults are the Puente Hills Blind Thrust Fault located approximately 1.6 miles from the project site and the Upper Elysian Park Blind Thrust located approximately 2.5 miles from the project site. Therefore, the potential for fault rupture to occur on the project site is considered low. Impacts would be less than significant, and no mitigation measures would be necessary. ii. Strong seismic ground shaking? Less Than Significant Impact. The project site is located in the seismically active Southern California region, which is characterized by major faults and fault zones. The closest fault is the Hollywood -Raymond Fault located approximately seven miles from the site, and the closest known blind thrust fault is the Puente Hills Blind Thrust Fault located approximately 1.6 miles from the site." As with other developments in the region, the proposed project could be subject to strong seismic groundshaking. However, the proposed project would comply with applicable building and safety requirements set forth by the Vernon Municipal Code and the California Building Code (CBC). As such, impacts of the project associated with strong seismic ground shaking would be less than significant. Further analysis of this issue is not required and no mitigation measures would be necessary. iii. Seismic -related ground failure, including liquefaction? Less Than Significant Impact. Liquefaction is a form of earthquake -induced ground failure that occurs primarily in relatively shallow, loose, granular, water -saturated soils. Liquefaction can occur when these types of soils lose their shear strength due to excess water pressure that builds up during repeated seismic shaking. The project site is located within a Liquefaction Zone as designated by the CGS.`8 However, the proposed project would not result in the development of any new buildings. The proposed autoclave facility would be developed within the existing warehouse. Furthermore, the project would comply with applicable building and safety codes set forth in the Vernon Municipal Code and the California Building Code. As such, impacts of the project associated with seismic -related ground failure, including 16 California Geological Survey, Department of Conservation, Division of Mines and Geology Special Publication 42, Seismic Hazards Zone Map -Los Angeles Quadrangle, Released March 25, 1999. Ibid. 18 State of California - California Geological Survey; Seismic Hazards Map, Los Angeles Quadrangle, available online at �la.X)df accessed October 10, 2007. City of Vernon Waste Management Autoclave Project PCR Services Corporation November 2008 Page B-21 Attachment B — Explanation of Checklist Determination liquefaction, would be less than significant. Further analysis of this issue is not required and no mitigation measures would be necessary. iv. Landslides? No Impact. Landslides generally occur in loosely consolidated, wet soil and/or rock on — steep sloping terrain. The project site and surrounding area is fully developed with industrial uses and characterized by a flat topography. No steep slopes exist on the site or in the surrounding area. Accordingly, the project site is not located with an Earthquake -Induced — Landslide Area as designated by the CGS.19 Therefore, the project would not expose people or structures to adverse effects from landslides. No impacts would occur, and no mitigation measures would be necessary. b. Result in substantial soil erosion or the loss of topsoil? Less Than Significant Impact. The project site is fully developed with an existing 13,637 square foot concrete tilt -up warehouse, a metal canopy (formerly used as a wash rack), and surface parking in the highly industrialized City of Vernon. The project would develop an autoclave facility within the existing warehouse. No major disturbance of the ground or excavation activities would be required. Earthwork activities would be minor and limited to minimal surficial grading for the reconfiguration and resurfacing of the on -site loading dock area. Therefore, erosion impacts during construction would be less than significant. As with existing conditions, the project site would be fully paved following project implementation, and thus, operation of the project would not have the potential to result in soil erosion or loss of topsoil. Impacts would be less than significant, and no mitigation measures would be necessary. c. Be located on a geologic unit or soil that is unstable, or that would become unstable as a result of the project, and potential result in on- or off -site landslide, lateral spreading, subsidence, liquefaction, or collapse? Less Than Significant Impact. As discussed above, the project site is fully developed with an existing 13,637 square foot concrete tilt -up warehouse, a metal canopy (formerly used as a wash rack), and surface parking in the highly industrialized City of Vernon. The project would develop an autoclave facility within the existing warehouse. Earthwork activities would be limited to minimal grading for reconfiguration of the loading dock area. No new buildings for human occupancy would be constructed on the site. Furthermore, no steep slopes, mining areas, or oil drilling areas exist on the site or within the surrounding area. As such, the project would 'v Ibid. City of Vernon PCR Services Corporation Page B-22 Waste Management Autoclave Project November 2008 Attachment B — Explanation of Checklist Determination not result in on- or off -site landslide, lateral spreading, subsidence, liquefaction, or collapse. Impacts would be less than significant and no mitigation measures would be necessary. d. Be located on expansive soil, as defined in Table 18-1-B of the Uniform Building Code (1994), creating substantial risks to life or property? Less Than Significant Impact. As discussed above, the project site has been fully developed for several decades. The proposed project would develop an autoclave facility within an existing warehouse. No new buildings would be constructed and minimal surficial grading would be required for reconfiguration of the loading dock area. Therefore, implementation of the project would not locate new buildings for human occupancy on expansive soils, and thus would not create substantial risks to life or property. Impacts would be less than significant and no mitigation measures would be necessary. e. Have soils incapable of adequately supporting the use of septic tanks or alternative — waste water disposal systems where sewers are not available for the disposal of waste water? No Impact. The project site is located within the highly industrialized City of Vernon, which is served by existing sewer infrastructure. Therefore, the project would not require the use of any septic tanks or alternative waste water disposal systems. No impacts related to the ability of soils to support septic tanks or alternative wastewater disposal systems would occur, and no mitigation measures would be necessary. VII. HAZARDS AND HAZARDOUS MATERIALS. Would the project: a. Create a significant hazard to the public or the environment through the routine transport, use, or disposal of hazardous materials? Less Than Significant Impact. The project would develop an autoclave facility that would accept, handle, and treat RMW and APHIS regulated wastes. During project operations, there would be a certain level of risk associated with the potential exposure of on -site employees to infectious agents from such wastes (prior to treatment). All project operations, including the transport, handling, storage, and treatment, of all infectious wastes, would occur in accordance with applicable state and federal regulations. The Medical Waste Management Act (MWMA) of the State's Health and Safety Code is the primary state legislation governing the generation, handling, storage, treatment, and disposal of regulated medical wastes. Pursuant to the MWMA, the California Department of Public Health (CDPH) implements the Medical Waste Management Program (MWMP). With regard to City of Vernon Waste Management Autoclave Project PCR Services Corporation November 2008 Page B-23 Attachment B — Explanation of Checklist Determination the handling, storage, and treatment of APHIS wastes, the project would be subject to Title 7, Part 330, of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) - Federal Plant Pest Regulations; General, Plant Pests; Soil, Stone, And Quarry Products; Garbage. The transport of the untreated infectious waste to the project site would be conducted in accordance with all applicable state and federal regulations. Pursuant to Section 118029 of the Health and Safety Code, only transporters registered with the Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC) and the CDPH with a current hazardous waste transporter I.D. number would be allowed to transport infectious waste to the project site. All waste transporters to the facility - would be required to report information regarding business ownership, location, vehicles, and clients to the CDPH and would carry tracking documents (i.e., Medical Waste Transporters Data Submission) issued by CDPH in each vehicle while transporting the waste. Waste transporters would also be required to comply with the requirements set forth in the compliance agreements with the USDA regarding APHIS wastes as well as other applicable regulations. All transport of infectious wastes would also occur in accordance with the Health and Safety Code; California Code of Regulations Title 22, Division 4 and 4.5, and the State's Vehicle Code. This includes regulations administered and implemented by the California Highway Patrol and the DTSC, such as Senate Bill 1257 which requires security requirements for hazardous wastes and hazardous materials transport through driver's license checks, enclosed cargo bodies that must be locked during transit, and two way communication devices in the event of an emergency.20 Should an - accidental spillage occur during the transport of the medical waste, releases would be immediately reported to the CDPH and the Office of Emergency Services and comply with Waste Management policies and procedures. The release would be decontaminated pursuant to methods provided in Sections 118295 of the Health and Safety Code, including but not limited to, agitation to remove visible soil combined with one of the following procedures: a) Exposure to hot water of at least 82 degrees Centigrade (180 degrees Fahrenheit for a minimum of 15 seconds; b) Exposure to chemical sanitizer by rinsing with, or immersion in either Hypochlorite solution (500 ppm available chlorine) or Quaternary ammonium solution (400 ppm active agent)''-' for a minimum of three minutes. In accordance with the WMWA, a medical waste treatment permit would be obtained from the CDPH. As part of the requirements for the permit, Waste Management would be required to provide an Emergency Action Plan, which shall describe in detail the actions that will follow in the event of equipment failures, natural disaster or other occurrences. Additionally, the types and estimated quantity of infectious wastes treated on the project site would be recorded 10 Department of Toxic substances Control, Security Enhancements for Hazardous Waste Handling and Transportation, Fact Sheet, January 2003; available online at: htt.7"tivwtiti.dtse..ca.o7;-Hazcafc%zrsl)'arte I r araspor tcr:r%Trl�load F1Y11' I S Secrrritt�d{' website accessed May 6, 2008. 21 Governor's Office of Emergency Services, lattl� ;%ivww.oec.ca.gol;�6'Ebl'tzfTe�%i�ec�vebsiie rte;�11'avl'nrtcrl' __ Rt:ad1 ��rrncizl�>v=flazctrcl%20iiliti�7crtionci?aide=Rliti anon accessed May 6, 2008. City of Vernon Waste Management Autoclave Project PCR Services Corporation November 2008 Page B-24 Attachment B — Explanation of Checklist Determination and monitored. All infectious waste containers and/or bags would be appropriately labeled as "biohazard". The entire project site would be fenced and gated to prohibit public access into the site. In addition, "authorized personnel only" signs would be posted as additional security measures. All plant personnel and drivers would also be required to participate in Waste Management's safety programs. The safety training would be ongoing and tailored for transporting and handling of RMW and APHIS waste. Worker training would include addressing compliance with the (OSHA) Blood -borne Pathogen Standard to minimize exposure risks to infectious agents." Workers would also be trained to handle unusual incidents such as spills or equipment failures so that potential exposure to infectious agents or other hazards would not occur. Any spills that occur on -site would be immediately cleaned -up. A disinfectant, - cleaning solution would be sprayed onto the spill area to ensure that the area would be sanitized. The area would then be cleaned up with a mop and bucket. All tools used in the spill clean-up process would be disinfected and cleaned. Other procedures would address other spills. Spill kits would be available throughout the facility and would consist of a mercury spill kit, hazardous materials suit, barricade tape, duct tape, paper towels, gloves, germicidal soap, masks, red bags, shovel, broom, and extra cardboard containers. An Exposure Control Plan would also be in place during the operational life of the project. The Exposure Control Plan would set forth standard operating procedures to prevent worker exposure to infectious wastes (The plan would instruct workers on proper work practices (e.g., loading/unloading of containers, washing of containers) as well as proper protective equipment. The plan would designate supervisors responsible for enforcing exposure control procedures and would be updated as necessary. Operating personnel would also be required to wear personnel protective equipment (PPE) while working in areas where RMW/APHIS WASTES handling operations occur. PPE would include, but not be limited to, the following: uniforms, water resistant, steel toed boots; face shields; safety glasses; aprons; puncture resistant gloves; and dust masks. The type of PPE required would be dependent on the personnel's particular job task. In addition to the RMW and APHIS regulated waste to be treated on -site, the facility would routinely store and use potentially hazardous chemicals, such as compressed gas, waste oil and boiler water additive. Waste Management has prepared a Hazardous Material Business Plan (HMBP), and submitted this plan to the City of Vernon. The HMBP will be updated periodically, kept on -site and made available to any emergency response personnel. It should be az California Code of Regulations (CCR) Title 8, Chapter 4 (Division of Industrial Safety), Sub -Chapter 7 (General Industry Safety Orders), Group 16 (Control of Hazardous Substances), Article 109 (Hazardous Substances and Processes). City of Vernon PCR Services Corporation Page B-25 Waste Management Autoclave Project November 2008 Attachment B — Explanation of Checklist Determination noted that during the operation of the autoclaves, a small amount of water vapor may remain in the autoclave after the batch treatment and evacuation process is complete. Almost all the steam will be evacuated from the autoclave at the end of the batch treatment and would be condensed and the water released to the public treatment facility. The water and condensed steam are safe for release to the atmosphere, as the process renders any pathogens harmless. Therefore disposal of medical waste would be less than significant. Additionally, upon completion of the autoclave cycle, treated RMW/APHIS wastes would be rendered non -hazardous and deemed as regular municipal solid waste. Therefore, based on all of the above, impacts associated with the routine transport, use, or disposal of hazardous materials, would be less than significant. b. Create a significant hazard to the public or the environment through reasonably foreseeable upset and accident conditions involving the release of hazardous materials into the environment? Less Than Significant Impact. As discussed above in Response VII(a), project operation would occur in compliance with applicable regulations including the Medical Waste Management Act (MVVMA) of the State's Health and Safety Code; CFR Title 7, Part 330; Health and Safety Code; CCR Title 22, Division 4 and 4.5, and the State's Vehicle Code. Should an accidental spillage occur during the transport of the medical waste, releases would be reported to the Office of Emergency Services23 and shall be decontaminated pursuant to methods provided in Sections 118295 of the Health and Safety Code, including but not limited to agitation to remove visible soil, combined with one of the following procedures: a) Exposure to hot water of at least 82 degrees Centigrade (180 degrees Fahrenheit for a minimum of 15 seconds; b) Exposure to chemical sanitizer by rinsing with, or immersion in, either Hypochlorite solution (500 ppm available chlorine), or Quaternary ammonium solution (400 ppm active agent) for a minimum of three minutes. Furthermore, as previously discussed, if a truck is involved in an accident, the enclosed containers would keep all the medical waste containers inside the truck body. The medical waste would also be contained in the boxes and/or tubs which should prevent leakage, spillage of its contents. If in the event of a highly unlikely accident medical waste containers are ejected out of the truck body and damaged such that spills occur, the drivers would be required to notify the supervisor on duty and the State and would be required to provide proper spill clean up and control in accordance with regulations and Waste Management policies and procedures. Spill kits are available in each vehicle such that the material can be picked up, repackaged into boxes/tubs and the area decontaminated.

City of Vernon Waste Management Autoclave Project PCR Services Corporation November 2008 Page B-26 Attachment B — Explanation of Checklist Determination drivers would also be required to participate in Waste Management's safety programs and an — Exposure Control Plan would also be in place during the operational life of the project. In 1993, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) commissioned a study of medical waste treatment options including steam autoclaving.'-' The study involved detailed monitoring of the three potential emission points from the autoclaving process including: 1) air being exhausted from the autoclaving process; 2) air exhausted from the autoclave chamber upon opening; and 3) liquid from the condensed steam (condensate). Based upon the assessment of the steam autoclaves in the study, there appeared to be limited potential for biological emissions during medical waste treatment under normal operating conditions. In 1997, the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) commissioned a study of the steam autoclaving process also analyzing autoclaving along with other treatment options.'-' The results of that study indicate that hazards related directly to medical waste came significantly from blood and liquid spills and from exposure to sharps, which was greatly reduced in the plant where the waste handling occurred. This project would further minimize exposure to sharps, and blood -borne pathogens through proper packaging, engineering controls, proper handling procedures, and personal protective equipment. Additional measures of boxes and tubs are designed to prevent sharps injury. Furthermore, the proper use of dollys, conveyors, and other material handling equipment would greatly reduce employee exposure to injuries during the handling of the containers during waste collection and processing. The autoclave is a steam autoclave. Steam is water heated to a point where it is now in the vapor stage. No chemicals are added to the autoclave to assist with the disinfection of any potential pathogens. The autoclave is constructed to the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) Section VIII Unfired pressure Vessel Code. Per ASME code requirements, a safety valve is required. This valve protects the vessel from exceeding its maximum design pressure. In the event this valve was to open, steam would be emitted to the atmosphere at a temperature of approximately 345 degrees Fahrenheit, a temperature that is sufficient to kill any pathogens. As the steam piping to the autoclave would have a safety valve set at a lower pressure, the valve on the autoclave would never open adding additional protection. In the event of a power failure during operations, the autoclave would go into safe mode which would prevent the release of any vapors into the atmosphere. Once power is restored, the autoclave will resume its normal cycle. Therefore, infectious agents would not be released during autoclave 24 Research Triangle Institute for the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency- (EPA) Office of Solid Waste, "Evaluation of Potential Biological Emissions from Alternative Medical Waste Treatment Technologies ", EPA Contract No. 68-WO-0032, July 1993. 25 Research Triangle Institute for the National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health- Division of Physical Sciences and Health- Engineering Control Technology Branch, " Control of Aerosol (Biological and Non - biological) and Chemical Exposures and Safety Hazards in Medical Waste Treatment Facilities", Contract No. 200-95-2960, November 1997. City of Vernon Waste Management Autoclave Project PCR Services Corporation November 2008 Page B-27 Attachment B — Explanation of Checklist Determination operation. Additionally, during operation of the autoclave, employees would comply with the Medical Waste Management Act and Waste Management policies and procedures to further prevent the releases of infectious agents including but not limited to checking all thermometers and gages after each treatment cycle. At the end of each autoclave cycle, a post -treatment vacuum cycle would remove steam and collect if any, remaining vapors. Therefore, any odors, or airborne emissions would be minimal, and is not anticipated to create a hazard to neighboring properties. Any waste considered pharmaceutical wastes or classified as "California only hazardous waste" by Chapter 11, Title 22 of the CFR would be transported off -site for incinerating. As such, the project would not create a significant hazard to the public or the environment involving the release of hazardous materials into the environment. Furthermore, the facility would not store acutely hazardous materials (e.g. compressed gas) in quantities above threshold levels requiring control under California's Accidental Release Program (Cal -ARP). A copy of the HMBP would serve emergency personnel if responding to an accident, such as fire or other non -routine incident. Additionally, the project would be overseen by the City's Unified Program Agency to assure that hazardous waste is disposed of in accordance with federal, state and local regulations. Furthermore, as discussed in Attachment A, Project Description, proper precautions would be undertaken to exclude hazardous substances such as mercury and radioactive materials from being treated in the autoclave. Specifically RMW/APHIS waste containers would be checked for elemental mercury, chemotherapy, and pathological wastes. It is not anticipated that elemental mercury would be found as it has been phased out from hospital use. In the event elemental mercury is found, it would be treated as hazardous waste and would not be accepted, set aside, and stored in the hazardous materials are for proper disposal and source notified for return. Thus, such materials would not be treated, and no emissions from the treatment of mercury and radioactive materials would be produced. Therefore, impacts would be less than significant, and no mitigation measures would be necessary. c. Emit hazardous emissions or handle hazardous or acutely hazardous materials, substances, or waste within one -quarter mile of an existing or proposed school? No Impact. There are no existing or proposed schools located within one -quarter mile of the project site. The closest school to the site is Bandini Elementary, located at 2318 Couts Avenue approximately one mile to the northeast. This school is sufficiently separated from the project site by existing development including industrial uses, Union Pacific Railroad's shipping yard, the I-710 freeway, commercial uses, and residential uses. Furthermore, as discussed above in Response VII(b), the project would not result in significant impacts associated with the release hazardous materials into the environment. As such, the project would not create a significant hazard impact to an existing or proposed school. No impacts would occur, and no mitigation measures would be necessary. City of Vernon PCR Services Corporation Page B-28 Waste Management Autoclave Project November 2008 - Attachment B — Explanation of Checklist Determination d. Be located on a site which is included on a list of hazardous materials sites compiled pursuant to Government Code Section 65962.5 and, as a result, would it create a significant hazard to the public or the environment? No Impact. Government Code Section 65962.5, amended in 1992, requires the California Environmental Protection Agency (CaIEPA) to develop and update annually the Cortese List, which is a "list" of hazardous waste sites and other contaminated sites. While Government Code Section 65962.5 makes reference to the preparation of a "list," many changes have occurred related to web -based information access since 1992 and information regarding the Cortese List is now compiled on the websites of the Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC), the State Water Board, and CaIEPA. The DTSC maintains the EnviroStor database, which includes sites on the Cortese List and also identifies potentially hazardous sites where cleanup actions (such as a removal action) or extensive investigations are planned or have occurred. The database provides a listing of Federal Superfand sites (National Priorities List (NPL); State Response sites; Voluntary Cleanup sites-, and School Cleanup sites. Based on a review of the EnviroStor database, the project site is not identified on any of the above lists.26 Additionally, the site is not listed on the State Water Board's Geotracker Database, which provides a list of leaking underground storage tank sites that are included on the Cortese List.'-' Lastly, the site is not listed on CalEPA's list of sites with active Cease and Desist Orders (CDO) or Cleanup and Abatement Orders (CAO) or list of contaminated solid waste disposal sites.28'29 As such, no impacts with regard to listing as a hazardous materials site would occur, and no mitigation measures would be necessary. -- e. For a project located within an airport land use plan or, where such a plan has not been adopted, within two miles of a public airport or public use airport, would the project result in a safety hazard for people residing or working in the project area? L For a project within the vicinity of a private airstrip, would the project result in a safety hazard for the people residing or working in the area? No Impact (e and f). The project site is not located within an airport land use plan area, within two miles of a public airport or public use airport, or in the vicinity of a private airstrip. 26 Department of Toxic Substances Control, Envirostor Database at lattn:%ivbv},�.c:rzvir•nstor.dzsc..ca. c,'public;: accessed October 9, 2007. 27 State Water Board Geotracker Database, 1 �:;i'bvti��v.+7eotracker. cxterhoarcfr.crr. ear&, accessed April 14, 2008.

City of Vernon PCR Services Corporation Page B-29 Waste Management Autoclave Project November 2008 Attachment B — Explanation of Checklist Determination The closest airport to the project site is the Compton Airport, located approximately eight miles to the southwest. Therefore, the proposed project would not result in airport -related safety hazards for the people residing or working in the area. No impacts would occur, and no mitigation measures would be necessary. g. Impair implementation of or physically interfere with an adopted emergency response plan or emergency evacuation plan? Less Than Significant Impact. The City's Standardized Emergency Management System (SEMS) Multi -Hazard Functional Plan (MHFP) discusses and contains programs and plans for emergency responses to numerous natural and human induced hazardous situations. Based on the City's General Plan, Bandini Boulevard is considered a major arterial and could be used as access for emergency vehicles. During the two -month construction period, construction activities and the staging of construction equipment would occur within the project site and thus, would not interrupt the flow of traffic on Bandini Boulevard. The project would generate construction truck traffic to the project site. The construction truck route (for both entering and existing trucks) would be along Bandini Boulevard to the I-710 Freeway located approximately 0.56 miles southeast of the project site. However, construction truck traffic would be temporary and generally limited to off-peak hours. Furthermore, emergency access to the site during construction would be maintained. With regard to operations, as further discussed below in - Response XV(a), project vehicle/truck traffic would be minimal during the peak hours and would not have a significant traffic impact. The project would also be required to comply with all City and State building, fire, and safety access codes. As such, the project is not anticipated to interfere with the adopted emergency response and evacuation plans or create significant delays in emergency response. Project impacts regarding emergency response plans or evacuation plans would be less than significant and no mitigation measures would be necessary. h. Expose people or structures to a significant risk of loss, injury or death involving - wildland fires, including where wildlands are adjacent to urbanized areas or where residences are intermixed with wildlands? No Impact. The project site is located in the highly industrialized City of Vernon. The surrounding project area is fully developed with industrial uses. No wildlands are present in the vicinity. Therefore, the project would not expose people or structures to a significant risk of loss, injury or death involving wildland fires. No impacts associated with wildland fires would occur, and no mitigation measures would be necessary. City of Vernon PCR Services Corporation Page B-30 Waste Management Autoclave Project November 2008 Attachment B — Explanation of Checklist Determination VIII. HYDROLOGY AND WATER QUALITY. Would the proposal result in: a. Violate any water quality standards or waste discharge requirements? Less Than Significant Impact. As discussed in Response VI(b) above, the project would require minimal grading for reconfiguration of the loading dock area. Given the minimal amount of grading, soil erosion runoff into nearby storm drains would be limited. Construction impacts to water quality would not be significant. Furthermore, it should be noted that as the project would not disturb more than one acre of land through grading, construction activities for the project would not be subject to the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) General Construction Permit requirements. The project would develop an autoclave facility that would include two autoclaves on the site. The autoclaves would utilize superheated steam under pressure to achieve sterilization and render wastes non-infectious. After each autoclave cycle, the steam would be directed into a condenser and condensate would be discharged directly into the trench drain to the sewer. In accordance with NPDES requirements, a Notice of Intent (NOI) would be fled for the proposed project with the Los Angeles Regional Water Quality Control Board (LARWQCB) to obtain coverage under the Industrial Stormwater General Permit. The Industrial Permit would require that pollutant loading in industrial stormwater discharges be minimized through implementation of the best practicable control technology currently achievable (BCT) for conventional pollutants and best available technology economically achievable (BAT) for toxic pollutants." _ Furthermore, the Industrial Stormwater Permit requires the development of a SWPPP and a monitoring plan, and the submittal of an annual report every first of July." The SWPPP would be required to identify sources of pollutants and site -specific BMPs. Implementation of BMPs would reduce the impacts of industrial stormwater by minimizing the flow or volume of non- stormwater discharges from the site. Operational BMPs for the project include but are not limited to: covered roll off container areas, screens and sumps where practical, and yard sweeping on a scheduled or as needed basis to prevent pollutant runoff. The final selection of BMPs would be completed through coordination with the City. As such, with compliance with the above requirements impacts of the project would be less than significant. i0 State Water Resources Control Board, Industrial Stormwater General Permit (Water Quality Order No. 97-03- - DWQ), is:rues p?ro�ramslstnrnt}-vcaicr "rloc:r.%andusllrnt.ndt; accessed April2l, 2008. 31 State Water Resources Control Board, Storm Water Program — Industrial Storm Water; — lrttp %`s- bv�r.titiaterl�ocrrds.ca. s��s/water csrrfes/ptonrams,,storrnti�bxterlirrdrastrial..clztml; accessed April2l, 2008. City of Vernon Waste Management Autoclave Project PCR Services Corporation November 2008 Page B-31 Attachment B — Explanation of Checklist Determination b. Substantially deplete groundwater supplies or interfere with groundwater recharge such that there would be a net deficit in aquifer volume or a lowering of the local groundwater table level (e.g., the production rate of pre-existing nearby wells would drop to a level which would not support existing land uses or planned land uses for which permits have been granted)? No Impact. The project site is fully developed with impervious surface areas consisting of an existing warehouse, a metal canopy (formerly used as a wash rack), and surface parking. Given the absence of permeable surface areas on the site, existing groundwater recharge to the groundwater table is very limited. The project would involve the development of an autoclave facility within an existing warehouse, and therefore, no buildings would be constructed or removed. Reconfiguration of the loading area would involve the replacement of impervious surfaces with new impervious surface areas. Therefore, the project would not change the amount of impervious and pervious surface areas on the site and as such, groundwater recharge on the site would not change. Furthermore, no groundwater withdrawals would be necessary during construction and operation of the project. The project would not substantially deplete groundwater supplies or interfere with groundwater recharge. No impacts would occur, and no mitigation measures would be necessary. c. Substantially alter the existing drainage pattern of the site or area, including through the alteration of the course of a stream or river, in a manner which would result in substantial erosion or siltation on- or off -site? No Impact. The project would develop an autoclave facility within an existing warehouse. No new buildings or the removal of existing buildings are proposed. Reconfiguration of the loading dock area would involve replacement of impervious surfaces with new impervious surface areas. Therefore, the project would not change the amount of impervious and pervious surface areas on the site and subsequently, no changes to the existing drainage patterns on -site or in the area would occur. As such, the project would not substantially alter drainage patterns that would result in substantial erosion or siltation on- or off -site. No impacts would occur, and no mitigation measures would be necessary. d. Substantially alter the existing drainage pattern of the site or area, including through the alteration of the course of a stream or river, or substantially increase the rate or amount of surface runoff in an manner which would result in flooding on- or off site? No Impact. As indicated above, the project would develop an autoclave facility within an existing warehouse. No new buildings or the removal of existing buildings are proposed. Reconfiguration of the loading dock area would replace impervious surfaces with new City of Vernon Waste Management Autoclave Project PCR Services Corporation November 2008 Page B-32 Attachment B — Explanation of Checklist Determination impervious surface areas. Therefore, since the amount of impervious areas on -site would not increase, no changes to the existing drainage patterns on -site or in the area would occur. No impacts would occur, and no mitigation measures would be necessary. e. Create or contribute runoff water which would exceed the capacity of existing or planned stormwater drainage systems or provide substantial additional sources of polluted runoff? Less Than Significant Impact. As indicated above, the project would develop an autoclave facility within an existing warehouse. No new buildings or the removal of existing buildings are proposed. Reconfiguration of the loading dock area would replace impervious surfaces with new impervious surface areas. As the project would not increase the amount of impervious surfaces on -site, there would be no substantial increase in the rate or amount of surface runoff. The project would not create or contribute runoff water which would exceed the capacity of the existing or planned stormwater drainage systems. Furthermore, the project would be required to comply with existing stormwater regulations and NPDES requirements and SWPPP requirements set forth by the Regional Water Quality Control Board including the implementation of BMPs during the construction and operation of the project. As such, the project would not provide substantial additional sources of polluted runoff. Impacts would be less than significant and no mitigation measures would be necessary. f. Otherwise substantially degrade water quality? — Less Than Significant Impact. As indicated above in Response VII(a), the project would be required to comply with existing NPDES requirements set forth by the Los Angeles Regional Water Quality Control Board, which include the implementation of BMPs. As such, the project would not substantially degrade water quality. Impacts would be less than significant and no mitigation measures would be necessary. g. Place housing within a 100-year flood plain as mapped on federal Flood Hazard Boundary or Flood Insurance Rate Map or other flood hazard delineation map? No Impact. The proposed project does not include the development of housing, and therefore, the project would not place housing within a 100-year flood plain. Furthermore, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has not mapped the project site as being located within a 100-year flood zone.12 No impacts would occur, and no mitigation measures would be necessary. 32 Federal Emergency Management Agency, lads,,/%{uzrzrrsferlU,gc�v%i-v�:s�'zx�rtczl'nfraiicvc:r; accessed October 9, 2007. City of Vernon PCR Services Corporation Page B-33 Waste Management Autoclave Project November 2008 Attachment B -Explanation of Checklist Determination h. Place within a 100-year flood plain structures which would impede or redirect flood flows? _ No Impact. As stated above, FEMA has not mapped the project site as being located within a 100-year flood zone.33 Therefore, the project would not place structures within a 100-year flood plain. No impacts would occur, and no mitigation measures would be necessary. i. Expose people or structures to a significant risk of loss, injury or death involving flooding, including flooding as a result of the failure of a levee or dam? Less Than Significant Impact. As indicated above, the project is not located within a 100-year flood zone, nor is it located within a FEMA designated floodplain area. The channelized Los Angeles River located immediately south of the site, in addition to storm drain improvements in the City, have reduced the potential for flooding in the adjacent areas. Therefore, this existing flood control system is adequate to serve the project site. The project site is located in a dam inundation area and could be affected by both the Hansen Dam and Sepulveda Dam in the event of a failure of the levee or dam.34 However, both dams are located approximately 22 miles northwest of the project site. Therefore, in the event of an emergency, it is predicted that a long delay between the dam breach and amval of the flow would allow emergency services to respond as outlined in the City's Standardized Emergency Management System (SEMS) Multi-Hazard Functional Plan (MHFP). The City's SEMS MHFP _ discusses and contains programs and plans for emergency responses related to numerous natural and human-induced hazardous conditions. Given the distance of the project from both dams as well as intervening development, it is not anticipated that the project would expose people or - structures to a significant risk of loss, injury, or death involving flooding as a result of the failure of a levee or a dam. Impacts would be less than significant, and no mitigation measures would be necessary. j. Inundation by seiche, tsunami, or mudflow? No Impact. A seiche is an oscillation of a body of water in an enclosed or semi-enclosed basin, such as a reservoir, harbor, lake, or storage tank. A tsunami is a great sea wave, commonly referred to a as a tidal wave, produced by a significant undersea disturbance such as tectonic displacement associated with large, shallow earthquakes. Mudflows result from the downslope movement of soil and/or rock under the influence of gravity. 33 Ibid. sa City of Vernon General Plan, November 2007, adopted December 3, 2007. City of Vernon Waste Management Autoclave Project PCR Services Corporation November 2008 Page B-34 Attachment B -Explanation of Checklist Determination The project site is not located in the vicinity of a body of water and is approximately 15 miles inland from the Pacific Ocean. Therefore, the project would not be susceptible to inundation by a seiche or tsunami. Additionally, the project site is not located downslope from an area of mudslope potential. The project site and surrounding area is fully urbanized, and therefore, no mudflow risks exist. No impacts would occur, and no mitigation measures would be necessary. IX. LAND USE AND PLANNING. Would the project: a. Physically divide an established community? - No Impact. The project site is located within the highly industrialized City of Vernon. Land uses immediately surrounding the site include large blocks of industrial buildings adjacent to the east and west, with smaller industrial buildings located to the north across Bandini Drive. Additionally, to the south of the site are the Los Angeles Junction Railroad tracks which follow the concrete channel of the Los Angeles River. The proposed project would develop an _ autoclave facility, which would accept, treat, and transfer both regulated medical waste and APHIS wastes. This type of industrial facility on the site would be consistent with the surrounding industrial uses. Thus, the project would not physically divide an established community. No impacts would occur, and no mitigation measures would be necessary. b. Conflict with applicable land use plan, policy or regulation of an agency with - jurisdiction over the project (including but not limited to the general plan, specific plan, coastal program, or zoning ordinance) adopted for the purpose of avoiding or mitigating an environmental effect? Less Than Significant Impact. Development on the project site is guided by several land use plans and regulations. At the regional level, the project site is subject to the Southern California Association of Governments' (SLAG) Regional Comprehensive Plan and Guide (RCPG) and the Metropolitan Transportation Authority's (Metro) Los Angeles County - . Congestion Management Plan (CMP), and the South Coast Air Quality Management District's (SCAQMD) Air Quality Management Plan (AQMP). At the local level, the City of Vernon General Plan Land Use Element and the City's Zoning Ordinance provide regulatory guidance over the project site. As analyzed below, the project would be consistent with these applicable plans and regulations. Therefore, the project would result in less than significant impacts regarding land use plans, policies, and regulations. No mitigation measures would be necessary. City of Vernon Waste Management Autoclave Project PCR Services Corporation November 2008 Page B-35 - Attachment B -Explanation of Checklist Determination City of Vernon Zoning Ordinance The Zoning Ordinance is the primary implementation tool for the City of Vernon General Plan Land Use Element, providing specific detail, enforcement mechanisms, development standards, and provides for deviations through Conditional Use Permits, Variances, and amendments to the Zoning Ordinance. In 2007, the City identified its status as an industrial city by updating its General Plan Land Use Element and Zoning Ordinance (which recently took effect on January 16, 2008). Under the new General Plan Land Use Element and Zoning Ordinance, the entire City is established as one land use category (industrial), with three Overlay Districts (Commercial, Rendering, and Slaughtering). Based on the new zoning designation, the project site is zoned I "Industrial" with no overlay zoning. The Industrial designation allows manufacturing, industrial uses, refrigerated and cold storage warehouses, data centers, general - warehousing, industrial gas manufacturing, and use or activity undertaken by the City. Refineries, energy generating facilities, hazardous waste facilities, trash to energy facilities, petroleum related uses, and other complementary uses may be permitted with special approval such as a Conditional Use Permit. As such, the project would require a Conditional Use Permit to allow operation of the autoclave facility. Per the City's Zoning Ordinance, if a building with a nonconforming use is vacant for more than two years (the terminal truck facility is considered a legal nonconforming use), voluntarily requires major alteration or repair (with costs of more than 50 percent of the building's fair market value), or an increase in square footage, such change will require conformity with the permitted uses and development standards of the Zoning Ordinance. As - - noted above, development of the autoclave facility would occur within the existing warehouse with the existing buildings and pavement remaining in place. While the truck terminal ceased operations in 2006, the warehouse has not been vacant. Minor activities still occur on-site such as storage of waste containers for new contracts and storage of overflow containers, as well as for personnel hiring, and etc. However, as the proposed autoclave facility is a new use, the project would trigger the need for compliance with the new development standards, as discussed in Section 26.4.1-3 of the City's Zoning Ordinance. As indicated therein, any uses permitted in the I-Zone by a CUP shall be subject to the development standards of Section 26.4.1-6 and the site planning standards of Section 26.4.1-7. The City Council may impose as part of the conditional use permit any other requirements as are reasonably necessary to protect adjacent users from traffic, noise, odor, dust, and other similar concerns. As noted above, the new - autoclave uses would be a legal non-conforming use with a conditional use permit. Therefore, any repairs or improvements to the existing buildings would need to be compliant with development standards as set forth in Section 26.4-16 of the City's new Zoning Ordinance. This includes compliance with regulations regarding fire and explosion hazards, radioactivity and electrical disturbances, outdoor storage activities, weed and debris abatement, vehicular _ encroachment, vibration and noise standards, water usage, and truck emissions. If a project requires a Conditional Use Permit, parking, maneuvering, and loading requirements shall be _ City of Vernon Waste Management Autoclave Project PCR Services Corporation November 2008 Page B-36 - Attachment B -Explanation of Checklist Determination recommended by the Director of Community Services subject to approval by the City Council. A discussion of compliance with the Zoning Ordinance parking requirements is discussed in Response XV(f) below. As the project would obtain a CUP and would comply with the new development standards, the project would be consistent with the Zoning Ordinance. Southern California Association of Governments' Regional Comprehensive Plan _ Guide The project site is also located within the planning area of the Southern California Association of Governments. SLAG is ajoint-powers agency made up of 14 subregions covering six counties. SCAG's RCPG (last updated in 1996) contains a general overview of various federal, state, and regional plans that affect the southern California region and serves as a comprehensive planning guide, focusing on growth through the year 2015 and beyond. The primary goals of the RCPG are to improve the standard of living, enhance the quality of life, and _ promote social equity. Policies within the RCPG that achieve these goals and are relevant to the proposed project include: encouraging patterns of land use development that reduce infrastructure costs and make better use of existing facilities; encouraging projects that reduce the need for roadway expansion and reduce the number of auto trips and vehicle miles traveled; encouraging projects that maximize the use of existing urbanized areas accessible to transit through infill and redevelopment; and supporting development in locations least likely to cause - - adverse environmental impact. The project would be located within a developed site located within the heavily industrialized City of Vernon. The project would be developed in an area in which adequate infrastructure, such as streets and utilities exist. The project would not result in impacts to service providers. The project would essentially be considered infill. As such, the project would be consistent with the regional plan. _ Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority's Congestion Management Plan - The CMP is aState-mandated program that was enacted by the State Legislature with the passage of Proposition 111 in 1990. The program is intended to address the impact of local growth on the regional transportation system. In Los Angeles County, the CMP is administered - by the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority. The primary goal of the CMP is to reduce traffic congestion in order to enhance the economic vitality and quality of life for affected communities. The 2004 CMP for Los Angeles County requires an analysis where a proposed project could add 50 or more trips during either peak hour to any CMP intersection or could add 150 or more trips to a CMP mainline freeway location, in either direction, during peak hours. As City of Vernon Waste Management Autoclave Project PCR Services Corporation November 2008 Page B-37 - Attachment B -Explanation of Checklist Determination further discussed below in Response XV(a), the project would not add 50 or more trips to any CMP intersections or add 150 or more directional trips to a CMP freeway monitoring segment or its ramps. As such, the project would not conflict with or obstruct implementation of the CMP, and no mitigation measures would be necessary. South Coast Air Quality Management District's Air Quality Management Plan The project site is located within the South Coast Air Basin, and is therefore subject to policies set forth by the SCAQMD. The SCAQMD, in conjunction with SCAG, is responsible _ for establishing and implementing air pollution control programs throughout the Basin. The SCAQMD's AQMP (amended in 2003) presents strategies for achieving the air quality planning goals set forth in the Federal and California Clean Air Acts, including a comprehensive list of - pollution control measures aimed at reducing emissions. A project is considered consistent with the AQMP in part if it is consistent with the population, housing, and employment assumptions that were used in the development of the AQMP. In the case of the 2003 AQMP, three sources - of data form the basis for the projections of air pollutant emissions: the City of Los Angeles General Plan, SCAG's Growth Management Chapter of the RCPG, and SCAG's 2004 Regional Transportation Plan (RTP). The project, which would involve the development of an autoclave facility within an existing warehouse, would be consistent with the types, intensity, and patterns of land use envisioned for the City of Vernon. The project's seven plant employees and one _ supervisor per shift in three shifts would not be substantial and as such, would be consistent with the employment assumptions set forth in the RCPG and the RTP. Thus, as the project would be consistent with the above plans, the project is considered consistent with the AQMP. As such, impacts relative to consistency with the AQMP would be less than significant, and no mitigation measures would be necessary. c. Conflict with any applicable habitat conservation plan or natural community conservation plan? No Impact. As discussed above in Response IV(f), the project site is fully developed and is located in the highly industrialized City of Vernon. The site does not provide habitat for any biological species, nor does the site support any natural communities. Accordingly, no habitat conservation plans or natural conservation plans are applicable to the project site. Therefore, the project would not conflict with a habitat conservation plan or natural community - conservation plan. No impacts would occur, and no mitigation measures would be necessary. City of Vernon Waste Management Autoclave Project PCR Services Corporation November 2008 Page B-38 Attachment B -Explanation of Checklist Determination X. NIINERAL RESOURCES. Would the project: a. Result in the loss of availability of a known mineral resource that would be of value to the region and the residents of the state? b. Result in the loss of availability of alocally-important mineral resource recovery site delineated on a local general plan, specific plan, or other land use plan? No Impact. The project site is fully developed with an existing 13,637 square foot concrete tilt-up warehouse, a metal canopy (formerly used as a wash rack), and surface parking. No mineral extraction operations occur on the site or in the nearby vicinity. As such, the _ presence of mineral resources to occur on-site is low. Furthermore, the project site is not located within a mineral producing area as classified by the CGS.35 The project would not result in the loss of mineral resources or a mineral resource recovery site. No impacts would occur, and no _ mitigation measures would be necessary. XI. NOISE. Would the project: a. Exposure of persons to or generation of noise in level in excess of standards established in the local general plan or noise ordinance, or applicable standards of other agencies? Less Than Significant Impact. The City of Vernon Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance establishes regulations regarding exposure of persons to or generation of noise levels in excess of _ established standards and exposure of persons to or generation of excessive ground-borne vibration or ground-borne noise levels.36 - Section 26.4.1-6(b) of the Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance establishes exterior noise standards for development within the General Industrial (I) Zone. specific land use zones. In accordance with Zoning Ordinance, the City sets forth noise limits for point-source noise as - follows: 75 dBA citywide, except within one-tenth of a mile from any residence or public school; i5 State of California Department of Conservation, California Geologic Survey, Map of California Principal Mineral-Producing Localities 1990-2000. 3e Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance of the City of Vernon, 2008. _ City of Vernon Waste Management Autoclave Project PCR Services Corporation November 2008 Page B-39 Attachment B -Explanation of Checklist Determination • Within one-tenth of a mile of residences and schools, 65 dBA during day-time hours (between 7:00 A.IvI. and 10:00 P.IVI.); and • Within one-tenth of a mile of residences, 60 dBA during night-time hours (between 10:00 P.M. and 7:00 A.M.). The project site is located in the eastern portion of the City of Vernon. The project site is currently zoned as "I", Industrial, and is bordered on the north by Bandini Boulevard and light industrial facilities. On the east and west of the site are large blocks of industrial buildings. The _ Los Angeles Junction Railroad tracks and the Los Angeles River are located to the south of the project site. The "I" zone allows industrial uses, manufacturing uses, storage warehouses, and hazardous waste facilities with a Conditional Use Permit. Traffic along Bandini Boulevard is the predominate source of noise within the vicinity of the project site. Additional noise sources within the area include commercial, industrial activities, and traffic along major freeways, including the Long Beach Freeway (I-710). The nearest noise sensitive land uses are residential uses in the City of Maywood, approximately 2,200 feet southeast of the project site. To characterize the existing noise environment on the project site and the nearest residential uses, continuous short-term (15-minutes period) noise monitoring was conducted on October 4~', 2007 at a total of two locations. The _ monitoring locations are described below, and depicted in Figure B-1 on page B-41. • Measurement Location Rl: The sound level meter was placed on the northern boundary of the project site near Bandini Boulevard. Location Rl represents the noise environment at the project site and the adjacent industrial buildings. - Measurement Location R2: The sound level meter was placed on Fruitland Avenue, which is the nearest residential areas approximately 2200 feet southeast side of the project site. This measurement location represents the nearest residential uses to the project site. Location R2 is located within the City of Maywood. These locations provide a representative characterization of the noise conditions within the project vicinity and the nearest noise sensitive areas. The ambient noise measurements were conducted using Larson-Davis 820 Precision Integrated Sound Level Meter (SLM). The Larson- _ Davis 820 SLM is a Type 1 standard instrument as defined in the American National Standard Institute (ANSI) 51.4. All instruments were calibrated and operated according to the applicable manufacturer specifications. The microphone was placed at a height of five feet above the local grade at Locations R1 and R2. Comprehensive sound measurement data is summarized in Table B-3 on page B-42. As shown in Table B-3, the measured A-weighted sound pressure level at Location R1 was 77.7 dBA (15-minute Leq) in which the primary source of noise was traffic - along Bandini Boulevard. The measured A-weighted sound pressure level at Location R2 was City of Vernon Waste Management Autoclave Project PCR Services Corporation November 2008 Page B-40 ...w ,.v ~ " ! ~ , , n ~ ~ ~ R w9 r,. a ...aorar~. a,...,.~ yy~+ f ~ _ i ~ y s 'd4',^'. t x ~>A~' t' i y ! ~ ' x t'°l~j~ ~r 9 ii ~ t ~ x ti'" ~ b . & ~ w F ~ ~ . * r , ~y ~ t, i~a.. ~ K. •.:vr. s a u r. u e • x ~ , ° ~ aa r ,y ' v ~~ww' 1 ~ ~ A 3~ • mom. ~ ~ . o ~ w ~ ~ _ wy?. w r ~ ~ , ^.uM ~~P • ~ - ate" . ~ u` Mir ~ r' ~ ~ - .w o a. , ~ L EGEND • ~ ar~~' ~ Project Site ~ ~ n ~ ~ SY x ~ ~ f ' R ~ yam, • `~.q~p~.r...~ , M ~ ~ - * r~^~ ,w+l Noise Monitoring .i`a 4..; r ~ ~ ~ Locations r w i~l,~ ~ Figure S-1 Nosie Measurement 0 300 600 Feet.

Oct. 4, 2007 77.7 Location R2 2:00 P.M. Oct. 4, 2007 66.5 - Based on continuous short-term (1 S-minutes period) noise monitoring. Source: PCR Services Corporation, 2007. 66.5 dBA (15-minute Leq) in which the primary source of noise was traffic along Fruitland Avenue. As shown therein, the existing ambient noise at the project site (Location Rl) is less - than three dBA, above the City's standard of 75 dBA for industrial land use. Short-Term Construction Noise Project construction is estimated to last approximately two months. Noise from the _ construction activities would be generated by vehicles and equipment involved during various stages of construction operations: demolition, minor site preparation (e.g., grading for the reconfiguration of the loading dock area), and installation of new outdoor equipment. Noise - levels generated by construction activity generally range from 77 to 86 dBA at a distance of 50 feet from the construction area/ equipment.37 Sound generated by a point source, such as construction equipment, attenuates at a rate of approximately 6 dBA per doubling of distance. Thus, based on sound attenuation provided by _ distance alone, a noise level of 86 dBA at a reference distance of 50 feet would be about 53 dBA at 2,200 feet, distance to the nearest residential receptor (Location R2). In addition, intervening structures (buildings or walls) between the construction equipment and the noise receptors would provide about 10 dBA additional noise reduction. Therefore, the estimated construction noise level at the nearest residential uses is 43 dBA, which is well below the measured existing ambient noise level of 66.5 dBA. As such, noise impacts from project construction would be less than significant. City ofL.A. CEQA Thresholds Guide, 2006. - City of Vernon Waste Management Autoclave Project PCR Services Corporation November 2008 Page B-42 Attachment B -Explanation of Checklist Determination Long-Term Operational Noise Although there are limited uses currently on the site, operational noise associated with the project would likely be similar to noise levels associated with the site's operation as a truck terminal for solid waste collection vehicles. Noise generated by the project would result primarily from truck departures and returns, truck servicing (i.e., maintenance, repair, washing), - truck and employee vehicle parking, refuse container storage and washing, refuse container delivery and return, and operation of mechanical equipment including a compactor and a compressor. Fixed Mechanical Equipment Operations for the project would involve the use of mechanical equipment: trash compactor, tipper, condensers, autoclaves, container washer, compressor, a refrigerated storage - area (reefer), and gas fired boiler. These pieces of equipment would be located either outside, partly within, or inside the existing building. Noise associated with the equipment located inside the building (i.e, the reefer) would be largely shielded from surrounding land uses. The trash compactor, compressor, and boiler would be located outside to the west of the main building. Noise levels generated by outside mechanical equipment would range from 70 to 80 dBA at a distance of five feet from the equipment.38 Noise levels diminish at a rate of approximately 6 dBA per doubling of distance. Thus, a noise level of 80 dBA at five feet from the equipment would be about 74 dBA at 10 feet to the western boundary of the proposed project site. The _ estimated noise level from the outdoor mechanical equipment would be below the existing ambient noise levels as well as the City's exterior noise standard. In addition, the outdoor mechanical equipment noise emission would be reduced to 27 dBA at the nearest residential _ uses, which is well below the existing ambient noise level. Therefore, significant noise impacts would not occur, and no mitigation measures are required. Off-Site Project Traffic Noise _ Vehicle access to the site would be provided via Bandini Boulevard from the regional freeway system (i.e., I-710 and I-5 Freeway). The existing Conditional Use Permit (CUP) for the project allows for the operation of the truck terminal subject to a maximum of 110 daily truck _ and vehicle trips per day (55 inbound and 55 outbound). The additional vehicle trips associated with the proposed project would be limited compared to current daily traffic on Bandini Boulevard. In general, traffic volumes must double to achieve a 3 dBA traffic noise level increase. Due to the minimal change in traffic volumes, it is estimated that the change in PCR Services Corporation, Measured sound data from similar equipment and derived noise levels by published - sound data, 2007. _ City of Vernon Waste Management Autoclave Project PCR Services Corporation November 2008 Page B-43 Attachment B -Explanation of Checklist Determination existing noise levels attributed to project-related traffic would be less than 1 dBA. In addition, - the site is located in a heavy industrial area and there are no noise sensitive uses located along the ingress and egress routes. As such, off-site noise generated by project traffic would be less than significant, and no mitigation measures are necessary. b. Exposure of people to or generation of excessive groundborne vibration or - groundborne noise levels? Less Than Significant Impact. As previously discussed, the project site is located within the highly industrialized City of Vernon. No noise-sensitive uses are located on the project site or within the project vicinity. Furthermore, due to the predominantly industrial _ nature of the City, noise and vibration conditions are common. The project would generate groundborne vibration or groundborne noise levels associated with the operation of the loading dock operations, trucks entering and leaving the area, mechanical equipment located both inside and outside the building(s), and outdoor industrial activity. The proposed project would be constructed using typical construction techniques. According to the Federal Transit Administration (FTA), ground vibrations from construction activities very rarely reach the level than can damage structures.39 A possible exception is the case of old, fragile buildings of historical significance where special care must be taken to avoid damage. The construction activities that typically generate the most severe vibrations are blasting and impact pile driving, which would not be used for this project. Heavy construction equipment (e.g. large bulldozers and excavators) would generate a limited amount of ground-borne vibration during construction activities at short distances away from the source. The use of equipment would most likely be limited to a few hours spread over several days during minor site preparation activities. Post- construction, on-site groundborne vibration conditions associated with truck terminal operations _ and operations of the autoclave facility would not be considered excessive because of the predominantly industrial nature of the City. Therefore, impacts of the project regarding groundborne vibration and noise would be less than significant and no mitigation measures _ would be necessary. c. A substantial permanent increase in ambient noise levels in the project vicinity above levels existing without the project? _ Less -Than Significant Impact. As indicated above, the noise levels generated by the project would generally be similar to the existing ambient noise levels in the project vicinity. The project site is located on an arterial road and is located adjacent to a rail line which is considered a significant noise-producing activity. Therefore, noise levels along these s9 U.S. Department of Transportation, Federal Transit Administration, Transit Noise and Vibration Impact Assessment, 1995. City of Vernon Waste Management Autoclave Project PCR Services Corporation November 2008 Page B-44 Attachment B -Explanation of Checklist Determination transportation routes and near the rail yards are generally considered higher within the City. Furthermore, no noise-sensitive are uses are located on the project site or within the project vicinity. As discussed above in Response XI(a), truck travel on local roadways attributable to _ the proposed project, would have a less than significant impact on community noise levels. Noise levels associated with on-site operations (e.g., operations for truck terminal and mechanical equipment) are also considered less than significant. As such, the project would not result in a substantial permanent increase in ambient noise levels in the project vicinity. Impacts of the project would be less than significant and no mitigation measures would be necessary. - d. A substantial temporary or periodic increase in ambient noise levels in the project vicinity above levels existing without the project? Less Than Significant Impact. The project site is located in the highly industrialized area of the City of Vernon. Therefore, noise levels generated by the project would generally be similar to the existing surrounding noise levels in the area. The project site is located on an arterial road and is located adjacent to a rail line which is considered an area of significant noise- producing activity. Therefore, noise levels along these transportation routes and near the rail - yards are generally considered higher within the City. Furthermore, no noise-sensitive are uses are located on the project site or within the project vicinity. As discussed in Response XI(a), during development of the project, construction activities would generate noise on a temporary basis resulting in an increase in the existing ambient noise in the immediate vicinity of the project site. However, as discussed above, noise construction noise impacts would be less than significant levels on noise sensitive uses. As such, the project would not result in a substantial temporary or periodic increase in ambient noise levels within the project vicinity. Impacts would be less than significant and no mitigation measures would be necessary. e. For a project located within an airport land use plan or, where such a plan has not been adopted, within two miles of a public airport or public use airport, would the project expose people residing or working in the project area to excessive noise levels? No Impact. As indicated above in Responses VII(e) and VII(f), the project site is not located within an airport land use plan area, within two miles of a public airport or public use airport, or in the vicinity of a private airstrip. The closest airport to the project site is the Compton Airport, located approximately eight miles to the southwest. Therefore, the proposed project would not expose people residing or working in the area to excessive noise levels associated with an airport. No impacts would occur, and no mitigation measures would be necessary. _ City of Vernon Waste Management Autoclave Project PCR Services Corporation November 2008 Page B-45 Attachment B -Explanation of Checklist Determination f. For a project within the vicinity of a private airstrip, would the project expose people residing or working in the project area to excessive noise levels? - No Impact. The project site is not located within the vicinity of a private airstrip. Therefore, the proposed project would not expose people residing or working in the area to excessive noise levels associated with a private airstrip. No impacts would occur, and no mitigation measures would be necessary. XII. POPULATION AND HOUSING. Would the project: a. Induce substantial population growth in an area either directly (for example, by proposing new homes and businesses) or indirectly (for example, through extension of roads or other infrastructure)? No Impact. The project does not propose the development of any residential units, and as such, would not directly result in a new residential population. The project consists of the development of an autoclave facility, with a projected staff of seven plant employees and one supervisor per shift in three shifts when in full operation. However, indirect population growth as a result of employees relocating to the City area would be negligible given that employees would likely be comprised of those already within the local labor force. Thus, the project would not induce substantial population growth in an area either directly or indirectly. Impacts would _ be less than significant, and no mitigation measures would be necessary. b. Displace substantial numbers of existing housing necessitating the construction of replacement housing elsewhere? c. Displace substantial numbers of people necessitating the construction of replacement housing elsewhere? No Impact (b and c). The project site is fully developed an existing 13,637 square foot concrete tilt-up warehouse, a metal canopy (formerly used as a wash rack), and surface parking. No housing or any other residential uses exist on the project site and, thus, no impacts associated with the displacement of existing housing or people would occur. No mitigation measures would be required. City of Vernon Waste Management Autoclave Project PCR Services Corporation November 2008 Page B-46 Attachment B -Explanation of Checklist Determination XIII. PUBLIC SERVICES. Would the project result in substantial adverse physical impacts associated with the provision of new or physically altered governmental facilities, _ construction of which could cause significant environmental impacts, in order to maintain acceptable service ratios, response times or other performance objectives for any of the public services: a. Fire protection? Less Than Significant Impact. Fire protection services to the project site are provided by the City of .Vernon Fire Department. The Vernon Fire Department provides a variety of emergency services, including fire protection, emergency medical services, urban search and rescue, and hazardous materials control. The nearest fire station is Fire Station 4 at 4530 Bandini Boulevard located approximately 0.5 mile to the southeast of the project site. Due to the industrial nature of the City, the Vernon Fire Department began a fully staffed Hazardous Materials Emergency Response Team (HMERT). Thus, in the event of a hazardous materials incident, Fire Station 2 at 4301 Santa Fe Avenue, which has a hazardous materials unit, would respond to mitigate hazardous material incidents occurring on-site. It is estimated that each fire station has a response time of less than three minutes any time life or property is threatened 40 Additionally, as discussed in Responses VII(a) and VII(b) above, the project would prepare - contingency plans for accidents involving hazardous materials. In particular, all plant personnel and drivers would be required to participate in Waste Management's safety programs which would be ongoing and tailored for the transporting and handling of RMW and APHIS waste. Workers would also be trained to handle unusual incidents such as spills or equipment failures so that potential exposure to infectious agents do not occur. During the operational life of the project, an Exposure Control Plan would be implemented which would set forth standard operating procedures to prevent worker exposure. The facility would also provide safety design features including two eye-wash stations, showers, and fire extinguishers. In addition,an up-to- date hazardous materials inventories would be provided annually to the Vernon Fire Department and to the Health and Environmental Control Department, for use when responding to fires, industrial accidents, and natural disasters, as well as for review and approval, respectively. As such, the project would result in minimal demand on fire protection and emergency response services. Therefore, with implementation of the below mitigation measure, impacts with regard to fire protection services would be less than significant. 40 City of Vernon Fire Department, available online at: httlr%7~-t•tvil-. crtvoti~ernorr.orbtlepar-tmeratr%fre:`fr~e~J~trn, accessed March 5, 2008. City of Vernon Waste Management Autoclave Project PCR Services Corporation November 2008 Page B-47 Attachment B -Explanation of Checklist Determination b. Police protection? Less Than Significant Impact. Police protection services are provided by the Vernon _ Police Department. The Vernon Police Department consists of 59 sworn and 25 civilian men and women dedicated to providing law enforcement services. The Patrol Division has 33 officers assigned to two 12-hour shifts with a response time of less than four minutes for - emergency calls for service." The department commits one lieutenant and two sergeants to the Industrial Relations Division, which serves as liaison between the businesses and the police department. Given the industrial nature of the proposed project, it is not anticipated that the project would generate a significant demand for police protection services. Additionally, the project would provide security design features such as perimeter fencing and locked entry, and security at the entry gate to ensure that only authorized personnel enter the site as additional - security. As such, the project's demand on police protection services would not increase substantially. Impacts would be less than significant and no mitigation measures would be necessary. c. Schools? No Impact. The project does not propose the development of residential units, which would result in a new residential population. As no new residents and associated students would - be generated, no demand for school facilities or services would occur from implementation of the project. No impacts to schools would occur, and no mitigation measures would be necessary. d. Parks? - No Impact. The project does not propose the development of residential units, which would result in a new residential population. As no new residents would be generated, no demand for parks would occur from implementation of the project. No impacts to parks would - occur, and no mitigation measures would be necessary. e. Other governmental services (including roads)? Less Than Significant Impact. The project does not propose the development of - residential units, which would result in a new residential population. As no new residents would be generated, the project would not result in an increase in demand for library services. Impacts to library services would not occur, and no mitigation measures would be necessary. 41 City of Vernon Police Department, website available online at: htt,+r.%!`ia~tivw.ctvofi~er~norr.c>r•~,{~astnrerus !police,-~olice.htm. accessed March 5, 2008. _ City of Vernon Waste Management Autoclave Project PCR Services Corporation November 2008 Page B-48 Attachment B -Explanation of Checklist Determination The project would increase the amount of traffic above existing levels during construction of the project. However, this would be temporary and thus would not result in a significant impact on the existing roads. During operation, it is anticipated that the amount of _ truck traffic that would utilize the roads would be slightly higher than the amount of traffic that occurred for the truck terminal uses on the site. Therefore, the project would result in a minimal net increase in the usage of the existing roads. Furthermore, the City of Vernon is responsible _ for the repair and maintenance of the road network within the City. In 2005, the City implemented a Pavement Management Program (PMP) for all the City's streets.42 As part of this established PMP, all of the City's streets are surveyed bi-annually and a database of the pavement and inventory and the pavement condition data of the City's entire road network is updated. Pavement maintenance and rehabilitation historical records are also entered into the database. Based on a 2005 analysis of the City's existing network pavement conditions, the - City's road network is identified as being "Good" with a pavement condition index of 75 out of 100. Good is defined as having "no distress to low severity weathering requiring no treatment or low severity weathering with linear cracking". As such, the project's truck traffic would have a less than significant impact on the existing road network. Impacts would be less than significant and no mitigation measures would be necessary. XIV. RECREATION. a. Would the project increase the use of existing neighborhood and regional parks or other recreational facilities such that substantial physical deterioration of the facility would occur or be accelerated? _ No Impact. As discussed above in Response XIII(d), the project does not propose the development of residential units, which would result in a new residential population. As no new residents would be generated, no demand for parks or other recreational facilities would occur from implementation of the project. The project would not increase the use of parks or other recreational facilities such that substantial physical deterioration of such facilities would occur. No impacts would occur, and no mitigation measures would be necessary. az City of Vernon, Community Services and Water Department, Five-Year Capital Improvement Plan, 2007-2012, Prepared October 2007. City of Vernon Waste Management Autoclave Project PCR Services Corporation November 2008 Page B-49 Attachment B -Explanation of Checklist Determination b. Does the project include recreational facilities or require the construction or expansion of recreational facilities which might have an adverse physical effect on the environment? No Impact. The project consists of the development of an autoclave facility within an existing industrial warehouse. No recreational facilities are proposed as part of the project, nor - would the project require the construction of such facilities. No impacts would occur, and no mitigation measures would be necessary. XV. TRANSPORTATION/CIRCULATION. Would the project: a. Cause an increase in traffic which is substantial in relation to the existing traffic load and capacity of the street system (i.e., result in a substantial increase in either the number of vehicle trips, the volume to capacity ratio on roads, or congestion at intersections)? - Less Than Significant Impact. The project would increase the amount of traffic above existing levels during construction and operation of the project. During the two-month construction period, the export of construction waste materials (e.g., dirt, asphalt, and concrete) would result in additional truck traffic. However, construction truck traffic would be minimal and would not be expected to cause an overloading of the capacity of the street system. _ Furthermore, such trips would generally occur during non-peak hours and would be temporary. During the operation of the project, plant employees as well as truck delivery personnel (drivers) would increase the existing traffic load on the street system. A Traffic Impact Assessment (TIA) has been prepared by Fehr and Peers/Kaku Associates to analyze the operational traffic impacts of the project (see Appendix B of this document). As indicated therein, according to the existing CUP for the truck terminal uses that operated on-site, a maximum of 110 daily truck and vehicle - trips are allowed per day (55 inbound and 55 outbound). Under the approved CUP, no trips would be generated in the A.M. peak hour and two would be generated in the P.m. peak hour. With the proposed project, 138 truck and vehicle trips per day would be generated upon full ; project buildout, which includes four trips during the morning peak hour (7:00 A.M. to 8:00 A.Ni.) and two trips during the afternoon peak hour (5:00 P.M. to 6:00 P.M.). Thus, the project would result in a net increase of 28 trips. The project is generally an off-peak generator, with approximately five percent of the total estimated daily trips being generated during the A.Ni. and P.M. peak hours. Based on the Program Environmental Impact Report City of Vernon General Plan Update and Zoning Ordinance Revision (Hogle-Ireland, Inc., August 2007), a significant impact - would occur at an intersection if poor LOS operations are projected (LOS E or F), or if the City of Vernon Waste Management Autoclave Project PCR Services Corporation November 2008 Page B-50 Attachment B -Explanation of Checklist Determination project would substantially and adversely increase traffic in that intersection. Therefore, in accordance with the City's standards, the TIA analyzed the level of service (LOS) at the adjacent signalized intersection of Bandini Boulevard and Bonnie Beach Place due to the addition of _ project trips. Using the Intersection Capacity Methodology (ICU) contained in the 2000 Highway Capacity Manual (HCM 2000), it was estimated that under the Existing Conditions Plus approved CUP conditions and under the Existing Conditions Plus Project conditions, the intersection of Bandini Boulevard and Bonnie Beach Place would operate at acceptable LOS C during the A.Nl. and P.M. peak hours (as with existing conditions). In addition, in the Future 2016 Plus Approved CUP conditions and also in the Future 2016 (project buildout - year) Plus Project conditions with an ambient growth rate by 0.5 percent per year, this intersection would continue to operate at acceptable LOS C during the A.M. and P.M. peak hours. Therefore, the proposed project would not cause an increase in traffic which is substantial in relation to the existing traffic load and capacity of the street system, exceeding the City's significant traffic thresholds. The project's increase in trips generated within the area could also contribute to the highly congested interchange of Bandini Boulevard and Atlantic Boulevard located approximately 0.56 miles to the southeast of the project site. The intersection of Atlantic Boulevard and Bandini Boulevard near the Long Beach Freeway (I-710) currently operates at LOS E in the A.N1. peak hour and LOS F in the P.M. peak hour. In August of 2004, the Gateway Cities Council of Governments made preliminary recommendations to improve the Atlantic/ Bandini interchange, as well as to build truck ramps- directly from the rail yards to the freeway. The improvements to this interchange are expected to be completed prior to 2030, but are contingent upon State approvals and funding. Thus, the City has recently completed a prof ect to relieve congestion at the Atlantic/Bandini interchange through the extension of 26t1i Street to Bandini Boulevard. In the vicinity of the project site, 26~' Street runs parallel to and approximately 1,000 feet north of Bandini Boulevard. The Redevelopment Agency of the City of Vernon has begun construction on major improvements to 26`h Street with an estimated _ completion date of 2009. East to west access near Atlantic Boulevard will be improved by extending 26~' Street over Atlantic Boulevard to connect with Bandini Boulevard east of the I-710 interchange. This extension would provide a means for through traffic to bypass the Atlantic/Bandini interchange. Furthermore, the City has improved traffic signals at this intersection, as well as the intersection of Bonnie Beach Place and Bandini Boulevard, as well as on Bonnie Beach Place and 26th Street. Therefore, based on all of the above, the project's impacts associated with increased traffic would be less than significant and no mitigation measures would be necessary. City of Vernon Waste Management Autoclave Project PCR Services Corporation November 2008 Page B-51 - Attachment B -Explanation of Checklist Determination b. Exceed, either individually or cumulatively, a level of service standard established by the county congestion management agency for designated roads or highways? _ Less Than Significant Impact. The project is subject to the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority's (Metro) 2004 Congestion Management Plan (CMP) and the Southern California Association of Government's (SCAG) Regional Transportation Plan - (RTP). The 2004 CMP requires an analysis where a proposed project could add 50 or more trips to any CMP intersection or more than 150 trips to a CMP mainline freeway location in either direction, during either peak hour. The CMP also indicates that a project will have a significant impact when it increases traffic demand on an already deficient facility by two percent of capacity (V/C ? 0.02), causing or worsening LOS F. Based on a review of the Metro's CMP, no designated CMP intersections are located within the project vicinity. The project would utilize the I-710 freeway, which is a CMP monitored highway. However, based on the TIA, the project would generate 138 vehicle/truck trips on local streets and freeways during the day, with only _ four trips occumng during the morning peak hour (7:00 A.M. to 8:00 A.M.) and two trips occurring during the afternoon peak hour (5:00 P.M. to 6:00 P.M.). Therefore, the project's additional vehicle trips would not individually or cumulatively exceed the LOS established by - the County for the designated roads or highways. Thus, the project would not exceed the standards established by the CMP and impacts would be less than significant. c. Result in a change in air traffic patterns, including either an increase in traffic levels or a change in location that results in substantial safety risks? No Impact. The project does not propose any uses that would generate air traffic or result in a change in air traffic patterns. Furthermore, as discussed above in Response VII(e and f), the project site is not located within the vicinity of a public or private airport. The closest airport is the Compton Airport, approximately eight miles southwest of the site. Thus, no impacts to air traffic patterns would occur, and no mitigation measures would be required. d. Substantially increase hazards due to a design feature (e.g., sharp curves or dangerous intersections) or incompatible uses (e.g., farm equipment)? No Impact. The project would not substantially increase hazards due to design features or incompatible uses. The proposed project would involve reuse of the existing warehouse on- site for autoclave uses. As analyzed above in Response XI(a), the proposed autoclave uses would not be incompatible with the existing industrial uses in the area. Furthermore, the project - does not propose any improvements or alterations to existing roadways. As such, the project would not increase hazards due to a design feature or incompatible uses. No impacts would occur and no mitigation measures would be necessary. City of Vernon Waste Management Autoclave Project PCR Services Corporation November 2008 Page B-52 Attachment B -Explanation of Checklist Determination e. Result in inadequate emergency access? Less Than Significant Impact. The project does not propose any uses that would alter the existing access on-site for emergency vehicles. It would maintain the existing emergency access along Bandini Boulevard with vehicle ingress via atwo-way driveway on the eastern edge of the site and vehicle egress via either driveway on the eastern and western edge of the site, - which would be adequate for emergency vehicles to access the site. As such, the project would have a less than significant impact on emergency access and no mitigation measures would be necessary. f. Result in inadequate parking capacity? Less Than Significant Impact. Based on the City's updated Zoning Ordinance, industrial uses are required to provide one (1) parking space per 1,000 square feet of gross floor - area for auto parking, one (1) parking space per 25,000 square feet of gross floor area for the first 100,000 square feet for truck parking and one (1) loading space per 10,000 square feet of gross floor area. As the autoclave facility is approximately 17,168 square feet, the project would be - required to provide a minimum of 17 auto parking spaces, one truck parking space and two truck loading spaces for the project site. However, in accordance with Section 26.5.1-7 of the City's Zoning Ordinance, if a project requires a Conditional Use Permit, the Director of Community Services shall recommend the minimum number of parking spaces and the minimum loading and maneuvering requirements for the requested use during the Conditional Use Permit process, _ based on the information and analysis provided during the application process, subject to approval by the City Council and Director of Community Services. As such, the project would be subject to City review regarding parking capacity. Nonetheless, the project proposes three parking areas near the rear (e.g. southern end) of the site for employee vehicles and trucks. The first parking area would provide ten parking spaces for employees, and the second parking area would provide nine truck stalls. The third parking area would provide parking for up to seven cars. In addition, a disabled parking space is provided in the front of the building as well as an additional employee parking space totaling 20 vehicle parking spaces and 10 truck parking spaceswhich exceeds the number of spaces required by code for employee and truck parking. - The project would also provide four truck loading spaces which would also exceed the minimum loading requirements of the City. Therefore, impacts regarding parking would be less than significant and no mitigation measures would be necessary. Per the TIA prepared by Fehr and Peers/Kaku Associates, it was recommended that to ensure that large trucks will be able to maneuver within the site itself without undue difficulty, that three of the proposed vehicle parking spaces be relocated within the site as shown in Figure A-5 and Figure 11 of the TIA. This recommendation has been incorporated into the proposed site plan as shown in Figure A-3. In addition, relocation of the three parking spaces City of Vernon Waste Management Autoclave Project PCR Services Corporation November 2008 Page B-53 Attachment B -Explanation of Checklist Determination would not result in inadequate parking spaces provided on-site. As such, impacts regarding parking would remain less than significant. g. Conflict with adopted policies, plans, or programs supporting alternative ' transportation (e.g., bus turnouts, bicycle racks)? - No Impact. The project does not propose any uses or design elements that would require the removal of existing infrastructure for alternative transportation (e.g., bicycle lanes, bus lanes, etc). As such, the project would not conflict with adopted policies, plans, or programs supporting alternative transportation (e.g. bus turnouts, bicycle racks). No impacts would occur, and no mitigation measures would be required. XVI. UTILITIES. Would the project.• a. Exceed wastewater treatment requirements of the applicable Regional Water Quality Control Board? Less Than Significant Impact. The project proposes an autoclave facility, which would accept, handle, and treat Regulated Medical Wastes (RNIW), and Animal and Plant Health Inspection Services (APHIS) wastes delivered to the site. The project would develop an autoclave facility that would include two autoclaves on the site. The autoclaves would utilize steam under pressure to achieve sterilization and render wastes non-infectious. After each autoclave cycle, the steam would be directed into a condenser and condensate would be discharged directly into the trench drain to the sewer. Therefore, as discussed above in Response XII(a), in accordance with NPDES requirements and the County's Wastewater Ordinance, the project Applicant would be required to obtain an Industrial Waste Water Discharge Permit from the Los Angeles County Sanitation District (LACSD). Under the permit, the project may be required to submit plans for pre-treatment and would be subject to local ordinances for discharge and hazardous waste control requirements. Additionally, the permit would require that pollutant loading in industrial wastewater discharges be minimized and monitored. Therefore, with compliance with LACSD permit requirements, the project would not exceed wastewater treatment requirements. Impacts would be less than significant and no mitigation measures would be necessary. City of Vernon Waste Management Autoclave Project PCR Services Corporation November 2008 Page B-54 Attachment B -Explanation of Checklist Determination b. Require or result in the construction of new water or wastewater treatment facilities or expansion of existing facilities, the construction of which could cause significant environmental effects? Less Than Significant Impact. The water distribution infrastructure in the City consists of approximately 250,000 linear feet of pipe, nine wells, seven ground-level reservoirs, one elevated tank, and abelow-ground reservoir totaling a storage capacity of 16 million gallons. The project site is served by the California Water District Company (Cal Water). Cal Water's jurisdiction covers the area north of the Los Angeles River and east of a line parallel to and approximately 450 feet west of Indiana Street. According to the City, Cal Water's existing supplies and facilities in the East Los Angeles District are adequate to provide for projected demand through the year 2030.43 During operation of the project, it is anticipated that approximately 18,426 gallons per day (gpd) of water or approximately 20.4 acre feet per year (afy) for water softener, gas boiler, tub washer, wash down, boiler blowdown, and vacuum pump equipment and functions would be required (See Table B-4 on page B-56). This nominal increase in water demand is not expected to require new water facilities or the expansion of existing facilities. Furthermore, the project would be subject to the payment of water connection fees to the regional facilities. As such, project impacts regarding water facilities would be less than significant and no mitigation measures would be necessary. Wastewater treatment is provided to the project site by the Los Angeles County . Sanitation Districts (LACSD) through the Joint Outfall System (JOS). The system provides wastewater collection, treatment, reuse, and disposal for residential, commercial, and industrial _ users. The LACSD own, operate, and maintain an interconnected network of trunk sewers which convey wastewater to JOS wastewater treatment facilities. As feasible, water is reclaimed for recycled water use to allow for increased capacity in the wastewater treatment facilities. _ According to the LACSD, the JOS currently treats approximately 510 million gallons per day (mgd) of wastewater, 200 mgd of which are available for reuse.` Based on the JOS 2010 Master Facilities Plan prepared in June 1995, the existing capacity of the JOS is 590.5 mgd with a - NPDES permitted capacity of 575.5 mgd. However, since 1995, some of the JOS facilities such as the Joint Water Pollution Control Plant (JWPCP), the San Jose Creek Water Reclamation Plant (SJCWRP), and the Los Coyotes Water Reclamation Plant (LCWRP) have been upgraded, increasing the capacity of the JOS to 628 mgd. Furthermore, the LACSD is currently in the - a3 Hogle-Ireland, Inc., Draft Program EIR City of Vernon General Plan and Zoning Ordinance Update, August 2007. 4° Los Angeles County Sanitation Districts website: htrn: iti~~~~-f-.laced.«~°A%"tabotrt;'ivastebvater faclrtacs.~tlexiarrlt.ast.?; _ accessed April I5, 2008. _ _ City of Vernon Waste Management Autoclave Project PCR Services Corporation November 2008 Page B-55 Attachment B -Explanation of Checklist Determination Table B-4 Projected Water Demand - Total Water Total Water Water Hourly Usage Demand Demand Equipment & Function Usages Units per day (gpd) (acre feet/yr)b Water Softener 50 gallons per cycle ° - 50 0.06 Boiler 648 e gallons per hour 24 hours 15,552 17.18 Tub Washer 81 e gallons per hour 24 hours 1,944 2.15 Wash Down 200 gallons per day - 200 0.22 Boiler Blowdowns 200 gallons per day - 200 0.22 Vacuum Pump 60f gallons per hour 8 hours 480 0.53 Total - - 18,426 2036 Note.• 1 acre foot= 325, 851 gallons of water _ Based on data provided by Applicant. _ b Based on a 360-day operation year (i. e., holidays not included). ` Based on one cycle per day. d Based on 18 gallons per minute for 36 minutes every hour. e Water usage based on three gallons per minute for 27 minutes every hour. f Based on three gallons per minute for 20 minutes every hour.

The Clearwater Program will ensure the continuation of the wastewater system's high level of service, provide adequate capacity for the growing population, and evaluate aging infrastructure. As part of the Clearwater Program, the need for a new tunnel and ocean outfall _ will also be studied and evaluated. Financing of the project is expected through state and federal grants as well as payment of loans and bonds through ratepayers' connection fees and annual service charges to those served by the JOS service area. Wastewater in the City is collected in the local sewage collection system which is mostly discharged to the trunk sewers in District 23, and some to Districts 1 and 2. These trunk sewers conceptually form the backbone of the JOS conveyance system. From the trunk sewers, wastewater is conveyed downstream to the WRP's and/or to the JWPCP.45 From the project site, wastewater is conveyed to the JWPCP in the City of Carson.46 The JWPCP is one of the largest as Because the JOS is a network of interconnected wastewater conveyance and treatment facilities, wastewater flow can often be diverted to more than one treatment facility. As a result, wastewater flows generated within a given drainage area are often tributary to more than one treatment facility. a~ County Sanitation Districts of Los Angeles County, Final Joint Outfall System 2010 Master Facilities Plan, _ Figure 5.2-2 Joint Outfall Treatment Plant Drainage Areas, June 1995.

As indicated by the LACSD, the existing tunnels at the JWPCP are estimated to be currently near their limits in terms of capacity, but are still within capacity to serve the existing uses. However, due to the growing population, more wastewater would be produced in the JOS, further limiting the capacity of the existing system. Therefore, as noted above, the LACSD is currently in the process of preparing a new Facilities Plan (Clearwater Program) to address future upgrades and expansions to the JOS. For the project, it is anticipated that approximately 14,691 gallons per day (gpd) of wastewater for, gas boiler, tub washer, wash down, boiler blowdown equipment, and other functions (employee sanitary waste) would be generated (See Table B-5 on page B-58). Based on a projected wastewater treatment of 628 mgd of wastewater, the wastewater generated by the project would represent approximately 0.002 percent of the amount of wastewater currently treated by the JOS. This nominal increase in wastewater generated on-site is not expected to require new water facilities or the expansion of existing facilities. In addition, as noted above, LACSD is currently investigating upgrades to the existing JOS facilities. Therefore, adequate treatment capacity would exist to serve the wastewater generated by the project. Furthermore, under the project, the existing building on the site would be improved with trench drains for the autoclave operations for discharge of condensed water, and for discharge of wash water. As with all new development in the City, the project would also be required to comply with the County's - Surcharge Program and Connection Fee Ordinance. Under the Surcharge Program, the project would be required to pay its fair share of fees for all industrial wastewater discharged by the project to the public sewer system. In addition, under the Connection Fee Ordinance, the project would be required to pay fees for the privilege of connecting (directly or indirectly) to the LACSD's Sewer System or increasing the strength and/or quantity of wastewater attributable to a particular parcel or operation already connected. Payment of this connection fee is required to support the incremental expansion of the system as new projects are developed and is due before a connection permit to the LACSD system is issued. As such, with the proposed improvements _ on-site, payment of connection fees, and the continuing increase of use of recycled water by the County, wastewater treatment facilities would be adequate to serve the project site. Impacts to the existing wastewater treatment facilities would be less than significant and no mitigation measures would be necessary. c. Require or result in the construction of new stormwater drainage facilities or expansion of existing facilities, the construction of which could cause significant environmental effects? Less Than Significant Impact. As indicated in Response VIII(b) above, the project site is fully developed with an existing warehouse, a metal canopy (formerly used as a wash rack), _ and surface parking. Due to the existing buildings and paved surface areas, minimal pervious areas occur on-site.

Since permeability of the project site would not be increased, the amount of stormwater currently produced on the site would not change. However, the project would provide on-site drainage improvements, including floor drains and trench drains, for industrial non-stormwater discharges occurring within the building. As discussed above in Response XVI(a), the project would comply with the NPDES requirements related to industrial non-stormwater discharges. Therefore, the construction of on-site drainage facilities would not result in significant environmental effects. Impacts would be less than significant, and no mitigation measures would be necessary. City of Vernon Waste Management Autoclave Project PCR Services Corporation November 2008 Page B-58 Attachment B -Explanation of Checklist Determination d. Have sufficient water supplies available to serve the project from existing entitlements and resource, or are new or expanded entitlements needed? _ Less Than Significant Impact. The City of Vernon Water Department receives its water services from three different sources. As discussed above, for the project site, water is supplied by the Cal Water. Cal Water's jurisdiction covers the area north of the Los Angeles River and east of a line parallel to and approximately 450 feet west of Indiana Street. Water furnished to customers of Cal Water's East Los Angeles District is a combination of groundwater and purchased water imported from the Central Basin Municipal Water District (CBMWD). The CMBWD in turn, purchases its water from the Metropolitan Water District (MWD), the major water supplier for California. According to the City, Cal Water's existing supplies and facilities in the East Los Angeles District are adequate to provide for projected demand through the year 2030.47 Although the District's wells are no longer sufficient to produce its entire allowed pumping allocation, it is actively pursuing plans to restore several wells to their full capacity and develop a new well to add capacity.4s,49 As shown in Table B-4, it is anticipated that the project would require approximately - 18,426 gallons per day (gpd) of water or approximately 20.4 acre feet per year (afy) for water softner, gas boiler, tub washer, wash down, boiler blowdown, and vacuum pump equipment and functions. Based on Cal Water's projected water supply of 19,661 afy in 2010, the project's increase on water supplies would represent approximately 0.10 percent of the Cal Water's projected available water supplies during a normal year. This does not take into account a surplus of 321 afy that is estimated to be available. This is based on the continued commitment to conservation programs, maintaining current adjudicated water rights, additional imported water availability from CBMWD, and the ability to purchase recycled water as needed from _ CBMWD. As such, it is anticipated that sufficient water supplies would be available to serve the project from the existing entitlements and resource. Impacts would be less than significant and no mitigation measures would be necessary. e. Result in a determination by the wastewater treatment provider which serves or may serve the project that it has adequate capacity to serve the project's projected - demand in addition to the provider's existing commitments? Less Than Significant Impact. As discussed in Response XVI(b), wastewater treatment service is provided to the project site by the LACSD through the Joint Outfall System (JOS). a~ Hogle-Ireland, Inc., Draft Program EIR City of Vernon General Plan and Zoning Ordinance Update, August 2007. as 2002 Annual Report of the City of Vernon- Public Works & Water Sections.

LACSD operates one wastewater treatment plant and six water recycling plants in the Los Angeles Basin. These combined systems produce approximately 489 million gallons per day of effluent, of which approximately one-third is available for re- use.50 The Joint Water Pollution Control Plant (JWPCP) in the City of Carson, is located at the terminus of the JOS conveyance systems' The JWPCP is one of the largest wastewater treatment plants in the world and provides both primary and secondary treatment for approximately 324 million gallons of wastewater per day. Therefore, wastewater generated anywhere within the JOS would be conveyed to the JWPCP for treatment. As shown in - - Table B-5 on page B-58 above, the project would generate approximately 14,691 gpd of wastewater (both sanitary and industrial) for the equipment functions and employees that would be on-site. When compared with the existing amount of wastewater treated by the JOS of 510 mgd, the wastewater generated by the project would represent an increase of less than 0.01 in the amount of wastewater that is currently treated by the JWPCP. Therefore, this nominal increase in wastewater for treatment is not anticipated to exceed the existing capacity of the existing wastewater treatment provider. The JWPCP would have adequate capacity to serve . the project's projected demand in addition to existing commitments. Impacts would be less than significant and no mitigation measures would be necessary. f. Be served by a landfill with sufficient permitted capacity to accommodate the project's solid waste disposal needs? Less Than Significant Impact. The project proposes an autoclave facility, which would - accept, handle, and treat Regulated Medical Wastes (RMW), and Animal and Plant Health Inspection Services (APHIS) wastes delivered to the site. Therefore, solid waste generated by the project would include waste from employees as well as the treated waste delivered to the site. The project would incrementally add employees as warranted to accommodate the flow of wastes requiring treatment. As such, it is not anticipated that these employees would generate solid waste beyond what was generated by the previous truck terminal uses on-site. For the project it is estimated that 41 employees (21 plant employees, 14 drivers, and 6 office workers) would be on-site daily. Using a generation rate of 8.93 pounds per employee per day for industrial uses, project employees would generate approximately 366.13 pounds (lbs) or 0.18 tons of solid waste per days'- The amount of medical waste that would be collected and treated by the autoclave facility would vary on a daily basis, and would increase incrementally so Central Basin Mzmicipal Water District, 2005 Urban Water Management Plan, Carson, CA, 2005. 51 County Sanitation Districts of Los Angeles County, Final Joint Outfall System 2010 Master Facilities Plan, Figure 5.2-2 Joint Outfall Treatment Plant Drainage Areas, Jame 1995. sz No exact solid waste generation rate was available for medical waste treatment uses. Therefore,. rates from the City of Los Angeles CEQA Thresholds Guide was used to determine generation rates. City of Vernon Waste Management Autoclave Project PCR Services Corporation November 2008 Page B-60 Attachment B -Explanation of Checklist Determination upon operation of the second autoclave which is set to be come operational by 2016. Full - operation of the project (with the two autoclaves) would treat up to 100 tons of medical and APHIS wastes per day. Thus, the total amount of solid waste generation for the project site could be a maximum of 100.18 tons per day. It is anticipated that solid waste produced on-site would be disposed of at the closest County Class III, Waste Management owned and operated landfill. As some of these landfills can be closed due to day-to-day natural conditions (i.e. fires, other hazards, etc.), the landfills available at the time of disposal can vary. For the project, it is anticipated that solid waste would be disposed of either at the Simi Valley, Antelope Valley (Palmdale), or the Lancaster Landfill, whichever is operational at the time. The Simi Valley Landfill is the closest to the project site, with a maximum daily capacity of 3,000 tons for refuse and 6,250 tons for recyclables. As of January 1, 2007, the remaining permitted capacity of the Simi Valley landfill is estimated at 18 million tons or 30 million cubic yards permitted until - 2032.i3 The Antelope Valley Landfill is located in the City of Palmdale with a maximum daily capacity of 3,200 tons. As of January 1, 2008, the remaining permitted capacity of the Antelope Valley landfill is estimated at 9.11 million tons or 15.18 million cubic yards. This permitted - remaining capacity does not include the expansion in the bridge area between Landfill Unit 1 and Landfill Unit 2. The Lancaster Landfill has a permitted maximum daily capacity of 1,700 tons with a remaining permitted capacity of 13.06million tons or 21.77 million cubic yards permitted until August 2012.54 All three landfills are in operation six days a week. Given the amount of solid waste generated by the project, it is estimated that the project would result in approximately 3 percent of the maximum daily permitted capacity for the Simi Valley and Antelope Valley Landfills and 5.9 percent of the maximum daily permitted capacity of the Lancaster Landfill respectively. As such, it is anticipated that sufficient capacity in both landfills is available to - serve the project site. Furthermore, it is noted that the County has implemented aggressive waste reduction and diversion programs that have helped reduce disposal levels. Examples of such efforts include resource conservation per the waste diversion provisions of the California Integrated Waste Management Act of 1989 (AB 939) and the diversion of waste to transformation (waste-to- energy) facilities. In addition, the City anticipates that the total amount of development would decrease in the long-term. Thus, the amount of solid waste that is generated in the City and the potential impacts of project generated solid waste on the capacity of existing landfills in Los Angeles County would be less than significant. Further analysis of this issue is not required and no mitigation measures would be necessary. s; Based on a conversion rate of 1,200 pounds per cubic yard and one ton=2, 000 pounds; sa Los Angeles Cozmty Department of Public Works, Los Angeles County Countywide Integrated Waste Management Plan, 2006 Annual Report- Part II: Siting Element Assessment.

Comply with federal, state, and local statutes and regulations related to solid waste? - Less Than Significant Impact. The project would. accept, handle, and treat medical and APHIS wastes delivered to the site. Upon arrival on-site, all RMW/APHIS waste would be handled in accordance with applicable regulations including the Medical Waste Management Act. After treatment by the autoclaves, all wastes would be deemed regular solid waste. Thus, the project would not conflict with federal, state, and local statues and regulations - related to solid waste. Impacts would be less than significant and no mitigation measures would be necessary. h. Other Utilities and Service Systems? Less Than Significant Impact. Electricity is provided to the project site by the City of Vernon, a member of the Southern California Public Power Authority (SCPPA). The City ' generates its own electricity through a power plant built in 1932, and through its Malburg - Generating station, a new natural gas-powered power plant built in 2005 with a net generating capacity of 134 megawatts (MW). The City also purchases electricity from third-party suppliers through its connection with the Southern California Edison bulk power system and the Cal-ISO - grid at the Laguna Bell Substation. In an effort to supply nearly all of local electrical demand, the City is working on plans to construct the Vernon Power Plant, a new natural-gas-powered approximately 910 megawatt plant, by 2010. Upon operation. of these additional facilities, the City anticipates that it will not need to import electricity from outside sources and may even be able to contribute to the regional electricity reserves.ss According to the SCPPA, the City generates approximately 904,839 megawatt-hours (MWh) of electricity and purchases approximately 345,684 MWh for a total of approximately 1,250,523 MWh.sb Based on information provided by the Applicant, implementation of the proposed project would result in _ an electrical consumption at peak of approximately 126 kilowatts (kW). This would represent less than one percent (or approximately 1.0 x 10-5 percent) of the total power supplies generated and purchased by the City. As such, adequate electricity supplies are available to serve the project. Impacts regarding electricity would be less than significant, and no mitigation measures would be necessary. Natural gas is provided to the site by the Southern California Gas Company (SCGC).

This boiler is anticipated to result in a net consumption of approximately 9,900,000 BTU per hour or approximately 0.0002 billion cubic feet (kcf) of natural gas per day. When compared with the SCGC's peak capacity, the net annual consumption of natural gas associated with the proposed project would represent less than one percent (or approximately 3.8 x 10-'4 percent) daily, which would be within the service capabilities of the SCGC. Alternatively, the project may also utilize the City's gas service - utilities. However, as with SCGC, the project Applicant would be required to pay fees to connect into the natural gas distribution network provider chosen to service the project. Furthermore; utility providers are required to plan for necessary upgrades and expansions to their systems to ensure that adequate service will be provided. As such, the project would have a less than significant impact regarding electricity and natural gas services and no mitigation measures would be necessary. _ XVII. MANDATORY FINDINGS OF SIGNIFICANCE. a. Does the project have the potential to degrade the quality of the environment, substantially reduce the habitat of fish or wildlife species, cause a fish or wildlife population to drop below self-sustaining levels, threaten to eliminate a plant or animal community, reduce the number or restrict the range of a rare or endangered - plant or animal or eliminate important examples of the major periods of California history or prehistory? - No Impact. As discussed in Responses IV(a) through IV(f) above, the project site is located within the highly industrialized City of Vernon. No fish or wildlife species are located on-site. Furthermore, there are no plant or animal communities, rare or endangered plant or animals located on-site or within the project vicinity. As such, the project would not have the potential to degrade the quality of the environment by substantially reducing the habitat or population of fish or wildlife, nor threaten to eliminate a plant or animal community or reduce the number or restrict the range of a rare or endangered plant or animal species.

Furthermore, the project site is currently developed with an industrial warehouse, which ' is not considered a historical resource. As such, the project would not have the potential to eliminate an important example of a major period of California history or prehistory. As such, further analysis of this issue is not required and no mitigation measures would be necessary. b. Does the project have impacts which are individually limited, but cumulatively considerable?("Cumulatively considerable" means that the incremental effects of an individual project are considerable when viewed in connection with the effects of past projects, the effects of other current projects, and the effects of probable future projects). Less Than Significant Impact. The potential for cumulative impacts occurs when the independent impacts of a project are combined with the impacts of related projects in proximity to the project site such that impacts occur that are greater than the impacts of the project alone. - The project vicinity includes other past, current and/or probable future projects whose development would contribute to potentially significant cumulative impacts in conjunction with the proposed project. With regard to cumulative effects for the issues of agricultural, biological, and mineral resources, the project site is located in a highly industrialized area and therefore, other developments occurring in the project area would largely occur on previously disturbed land and are not anticipated to have an impact. Thus, no cumulative impact to these resources would - occur. Impacts related to cultural resources, geology and soils, and hazards are generally site- specific and do not affect off-site areas. Cumulative development would expose a greater number of people to seismic hazards. However, as with the proposed project, related projects would be subject to local, State, and federal regulations and standards for seismic safety. In addition, all related projects would also be subject to local, State, and federal regulations regarding the handling of cultural resource and hazardous waste sites. Furthermore, it is anticipated that related projects would be evaluated on an individual basis to determine appropriate mitigation measures to avoid significant impacts. As such, cumulative impacts related to cultural resources, geology and soils, and hazards would be less than significant. - Further analysis of this issue is not required and no mitigation measures would be necessary. Additionally, related projects could potentially result in an increase in surface water - runoff and contribute point and non-point source pollutants to nearby water bodies. However, City of Vernon Waste Management Autoclave Project PCR Services Corporation November 2008 Page B-64 Attachment B -Explanation of Checklist Determination related projects would be subject to NPDES permit requirements for both construction and operation, including development of SWPPPs, and SUSMPs, as well as compliance with local requirements pertaining to hydrology and surface water quality. It is anticipated that related projects would be evaluated on an individual basis to determine appropriate BMPs and treatment measures to avoid significant impacts to hydrology and surface water quality. As such, cumulative impacts related to hydrology and water quality would be less than significant. Further analysis of this issue is not required and no mitigation measures would be necessary. The proposed project in conjunction with related projects would cumulatively increase the employment in the area. However, the project and other related projects would not cumulatively increase housing in the area. Furthermore, the project is not considered regionally significant pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15206(b). It would not result in the removal of - existing housing, and consequently would not create the need for replacement housing. Furthermore, the City has identified itself exclusively as an industrial city. Therefore, the effects of the project and related projects would not be cumulatively considerable. Further analysis of this issue is not required and no mitigation measures are necessary. Development of the proposed project in conjunction with the related projects would - cumulatively increase water demand, wastewater generation, stormwater discharge, and solid waste disposal. Thus, there is potential for a cumulative significant impact on utility infrastructure and facilities. However, as noted above, the City is currently in the process of upgrading its existing facilities and it projects a decrease in the amount of wastewater, stormwater and solid waste being generated in the City. As such, further analysis of this issue is not required and no mitigation measures are necessary. Furthermore, the project in addition to related projects would cumulatively result in an increase in demand for public services regarding fire protection, police protection. However, as noted above, the project as well as other related projects would be required to implement project safety design features that would decrease the need for fire and police services. Furthermore, _ each project would be subject to review by the City's fire department and police department for implementation of emergency and safety plans. As such, the project and other related projects would not cumulatively impact fire and police protection services. The project in addition to other related projects could cumulatively result in an increase in demand on schools, parks, and libraries. However, the project uses and surrounding uses are highly industrial in nature and do not include residential uses that would generate a high demand for these public services. As such, the project along with related projects would not result in a cumulatively significant impact on schools, parks, and libraries. Further analysis of this issue is not required and no mitigation measures would be necessary. City of Vernon Waste Management Autoclave Project PCR Services Corporation November 2008 Page B-65 Attachment B -Explanation of Checklist Determination c. Does the project have environmental effects which cause substantial adverse effects on human beings, either directly or indirectly? Less Than Significant Impact. Based on the analysis presented above, with compliance with the applicable regulatory requirements, and recommendations set forth in the mitigation measures above, environmental impacts would be reduced to less than significant levels such that no substantial adverse effects would occur.

Key issues investigated during this .study include trip generation for the proposed project and the ongoing roadway improvements on 26th Street. - The proposed project, illustrated in Figure 1, would develop a biowaste disposal facility on the 2.23 acre lot at 4280 Bandini Boulevard in the City of Vernon. The site has a street frontage of 125 feet along Bandini Boulevard and a depth of approximately 884 feet. The site lies on the - south side of Bandini Boulevard and is served by two driveways: one that forms the south leg of the signalized intersection of Bandini Boulevard & Bonnie Beach Place and another approximately 100 feet to the east. Existing buildings on the site include a 13,637 square foot (sf) warehouse with a small office area, and a 2,775 sf open metal canopy and 756 sf compactor/enclosure area behind the warehouse. The facility is planned to initially operate with one autoclave installed. An autoclave is a device used for hazardous medical waste disposal which renders the material inert by applying intense steam heat. Full operation of the facility, expected by 2016, would involve installation and use of a second autoclave. The on-site staff at full operation would include one supervisor, seven plant _ employees, and two office employees per shift, with three shifts per day. The project would also employ 14 drivers throughout four shifts. Upon full development with two autoclaves, the proposed project is estimated to generate approximately 138 trips over a 24-hour period, including four trips in the a.m. peak hour and two trips in the p.m. peak hour. The proposed project would generate only about 5% of its total estimated daily trips during the a.m. and p.m. peak hours. The project would. generate its - highest traffic volumes between 4:00 and 7:00 a.m. and between 1:00 and 3:00 p.m., 201 Santa Monica Boulevard, Suite 500 Santa Monica, CA 90401 (310) 458-9916 Fax (310) 394-7663 www.feh randpeers.com _ To: Ms. Rachel Kwok October 8, 2008 Page 2 with up to 17 trips in any one hour. Table 1 shows the estimated hourly trip generation fora 24- hour period. The existing Conditional Use Permit (CUP) for the project, approved in December 2005, regulates the use of the site by its current owner, USA Waste of California, Inc., as a solid waste vehicle storage yard. The existing CUP states that the currently entitled use generates approximately 110 vehicle trips per day. TRAFFIC IMPACT ANALYSIS In accordance with the City of Vernon standards, the level of services (LOS) analysis was conducted for the adjacent signalized intersection of Bandini Boulevard & Bonnie Beach Place using the Intersection Capacity Utilization (ICU) methodology. Level of Service Methodology Intersection capacity calculations were conducted to measure the LOS of the intersection using an overall intersection capacity of 1,600 vehicles per hour per lane and by adding a factor of 0.10 to account for the clearance interval. The existing and projected volumes through a signalized intersection were compared to the capacity of the intersection to calculate the volume-to-capacity (V/C) ratio, the clearance interval was added, and then that ratio was used to determine the LOS at the intersection. LOS categories range from excellent, nearly free-flow traffic at LOS A, to overloaded stop-and-go conditions at LOS F. The LOS definitions are provided in Table 2 for signalized intersections. LOS D is typically considered the minimum acceptable LOS at signalized intersections in Vernon. Threshold for Determining Significance Based on information in Program Environmental Impact Report City of Vernon General Plan Update and Zoning Ordinance Revision (Hogle-Ireland, Inc., August 2007), a significant impact would occur at an intersection if poor LOS operations are projected (LOS E or F), or if the project would substantially and adversely increase traffic there. Existing Conditions Traffic volumes at the intersection of Bandini Boulevard & Bonnie Beach Place were collected for the above-referenced environmental impact report (EIR). The traffic data was collected in 2007 and has been adjusted by an ambient growth rate of 0.5% per year, consistent with the growth factor used in the General Plan analysis, to represent year 2008 existing traffic conditions. The baseline traffic counts show that the a.m. peak hour is from 7:00 to 8:00 a.m. and the p.m. peak hour is from 5:00 to 6:00 p.m. The ICU methodology was then used to determine that the intersection of Bandini Boulevard & Bonnie Beach Place operates under the following conditions: _ To: Ms. Rachel Kwok October 8, 2008 Page 3 • LOS C during the a.m. peak hour (V/C Ratio of 0.740) • LOS C during the p.m. peak hour (V/C Ratio of 0.714) Traffic volume data and LOS data sheets are included in the attachment. Existinq Conditions plus Approved Project The operations report for the current CUP estimates that the project will generate approximately - 110 vehicle trips per day. This estimate is based on one. inbound trip and one outbound trip for each employee. This prediction appears to be conservative, as it does not account for traffic generated by truck activity at the site. Traffic volumes at the intersection of Bandini Boulevard & Bonnie Beach Place were projected to include peak hour trips generated by the approved use (zero in the a.m. peak hour and two in the p.m. peak hour). The intersection is forecast to continue operating acceptably in both peak hours: • LOS C during the a.m. peak hour (V/C ratio 0.740) • LOS C during the p.m. peak hour (V/C ratio 0.716) Existinq Conditions plus Proposed Project - Traffic volumes at the intersection of Bandini Boulevard & Bonnie Beach Place were estimated based on the planned operation of the proposed autoclave facility. In order to provide a conservative analysis, full operation of the autoclave was assumed. The estimated project trip generation is 138 trips per day, including four trips in the morning peak hour (7:00 to 8:00 a.m.) and two trips in the afternoon peak hour (5:00 to 6:00 p.m.). The intersection is forecast to continue operating acceptably in both peak hours: • LOS C during the a.m. peak hour (V/C ratio 0.742) • LOS C during the p.m. peak hour (V/C ratio 0.716) 2016 FUTURE TRAFFIC PROJECTIONS - Onqoinq Street Improvements The Redevelopment Agency of the City of Vernon has begun construction on major _ improvements to 26t" Street. In the vicinity of the project site, 26t" Street runs parallel to and approximately 1,000 feet north of Bandini Boulevard. Traffic accessing the site to and from the east via. Bandini Boulevard is typically affected by congestion at the intersection of Atlantic Boulevard &Bandini Boulevard near the Long Beach Freeway (I-710). That intersection currently operates at LOS E in the a.m. peak hour and LOS F in the p.m. peak hour. East to west access near Atlantic Boulevard will be improved by extending 26t" Street over Atlantic Boulevard to connect with Bandini Boulevard east of the I-710 interchange. To: Ms. Rachel Kwok October 8, 2008 Page 4 In 1999, Kaku Associates, Inc. prepared Traffic Study for the 1-710/Atlantic Boulevard/Bandini Boulevard Interchange Project Report and Environmental Document. This document included _ an analysis of the potential traffic shifts onto 26th Street from Bandini Boulevard. Based on data in that study, the following traffic shifts were estimated: • Eastbound a.m. peak hour: 11 % of through traffic will shift to 26th Street. • Westbound a.m. peak hour: 6% of through traffic will shift to 26th Street. • Eastbound p.m. peak hour: 8% of through traffic will shift to 26th Street. • Westbound p.m. peal hour: 6% of through traffic will shift to 26th Street. 2016 Conditions plus Approved Project Traffic volumes for the approved project in 2008 were adjusted by an ambient growth rate of 0.5% per year to reflect 2016 conditions. It was projected that the intersection of Bandini _ Boulevard & Bonnie Beach Place would continue operating acceptably in both peak hours: • LOS C during the a.m. peak hour (V/C ratio of 0.736) • LOS C during the p.m. peak hour (V/C ratio of 0.708) 2016 Conditions plus Proposed Project Traffic volumes for the proposed project were adjusted by an ambient growth rate of 0.5% per year to reflect 2016 conditions. It was estimated that the intersection of Bandini Boulevard & _ Bonnie Beach Place would continue operating acceptably in both peak hours: • LOS C during the a.m. peak hour (V/C ratio of 0.738) • LOS C during the p.m. peak hour (V/C ratio of 0.708) SITE ACCESS AND INTERNAL CIRCULATION The eastern driveway is expected to be used as a two-way driveway and the western driveway as an outbound-only driveway. The eastern driveway would accommodate .left turns and right - turns into the site, as well as right turns out of the site. The western driveway would be used for exiting left-turn and through movements, as it forms the south leg of the signalized intersection of Bandini Boulevard & Bonnie Beach Place. An analysis was performed using the AutoTURN software package to confirm that the proposed ingress/egress patterns would be possible for vehicles of various sizes. It is assumed that any vehicle can access the site if it is accessible by a truck with a 53 foot trailer. Figures 2 through 10 confirm the ability for trucks to access the site. It is noted that the largest truck likely to " access the site would need to use part of the two-way left-turn lane on Bandini Boulevard when exiting the site to the east, as shown in Figure 3. While this is not a major concern, given the _ To: Ms. Rachel Kwok October 8, 2008 Page 5 low volumes there, it may be desirable to direct drivers of the large vehicles to exit the site via the western driveway. The ability for large trucks to maneuver within the site itself as proposed is shown in Figure 11. As shown, the ability of large trucks to turn around in the rear area of the site is constrained by the proposed location of three standard automobile parking spaces parallel to the eastern property line behind the canopy. To address this situation, it is recommended that these three parking spaces be relocated as shown in red in Figure 11: one perpendicular space north of the truck parking spaces, one parallel space north of that and one space located closer to the rear - of the property. The proposed number of parking spaces provided on the site would not be affected by this minor change. CONCLUSIONS The site is generally an off-peak generator, with approximately 5% of the total estimated daily trips being generated during the a.m. and p.m. peak hours. The project would add four trips during the a.m. peak hour and two trips during the p.m. peak hour. The trip generation during any one hour is estimated to be 17 or fewer trips. The number of trips generated during the peak hours is similar to or less than that for the approved project on the site, and is therefore not considered significant. Even without consideration of the currently approved use on the site, the proposed project would generate very little traffic in any one hour and would therefore not result _ in significant traffic impacts on the surrounding street system. Site access and internal circulation was reviewed and the ability of large trucks to access the site and to maneuver within it was evaluated using 'the AutoTURN software package. The proposed site access scheme, in which the eastern driveway would accommodate left turns and right turns into the site, as well as right turns out of the site and the western (signalized) driveway would be used for exiting left-turn and through movements, is appropriate. A recommendation was made to relocate three of the proposed automobile parking spaces within the site to ensure that large trucks will be able to maneuver within the site itself without undue difficulty. - w Z r 1 Q W © CJ Z p d o W ~ ~ _gg mow.. ~ ~ ~ ~ i ,13 V.

Delays may be substantial during portions _ of the rush hours, but enough lower volume periods occur to permit clearing of developing lines, preventing excessive backups. E ?0.900 - 1.000 POOR. Represents the most vehicles intersection approaches can accommodate; may be long lines of waiting vehicles through several signal cycles. F ? 1.000 FAILURE. Backups from nearby locations or on cross streets may restrict or prevent movement of vehicles out of the intersection approaches. Tremendous delays with continuously increasing queue lengths Source: Transportation Research Circular No. 212, Interim Materials on Highway Capacity, Transportation Research Board, 1980.
