Ana Barci tyvcity ler c RECLINED STAFF REPORT JUN 1 1 "'LOMMUNITY SERVICES & WATER DEPARTMENT CITYCi ERKls OFFIN DATE: June17,2014 RECEIVED TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council JUN 10 1014 PREPARED BY: Sergio Canales, Planning � Assistant CITY ADMINISTRATION APPROVED BY: Samuel Kevin Wilson; ljirector of Community Services & Water RE: Approval of a Conditional Use Permit for Jia Hui Resources, LLC — a proposed indoor carpet recycling facility at 4726 Everett Court, and adoption of Negative Declaration pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the City Council: 1. Adopt a resolution that, among other things: (a) approves a conditional use permit to allow a recycling facility to be operated at 4726 Everett Court, subject to conditions of approval; and (b) adopts a Negative Declaration finding that the project will not have a significant impact on the environment within the meaning of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). Jia Hui Resources, LLC has submitted an application for a conditional use permit to operate a recycling facility located at 4726 Everett Court. Academia Industries, Inc., a furniture manufacturer, previously occupied the site. The proposed use will be recycling and processing of new/used residential carpets. The Project is proposed to operate from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. five days a week, Monday through Friday. The property is designated in the General Plan and under the Zoning Ordinance as (I) Industrial, which allows the proposed use subject to the approval of a conditional use permit. Jia Hui Resources, LLC proposes to operate a business that will purchase bales of used/new carpet scraps. They intend to store, sort and process carpet scraps. The carpet scraps are received in approximately 1,000 lbs. bales. Each bale of carpet is broken down and sorted by fiber type. Once sorted by fiber type, the carpet scraps are then fed into a shredding machine which removes the top layer of the carpet (the nylon) from the bottom layer. Once separated, the top and bottom layers are place into separate boxes. The finished product (the top layer) is placed into another machine to pressure press the finished product into another box. Once boxed, the finished product is shipped overseas for further processing. The bottom layer is picked up by the same company that originally delivered the bales of carpet. Jia Hui Resources, LLC expects to receive approximately 35 bales of carpet every Monday via a 40 foot semi -trailer truck. The operation is expected to process about seven bales (approximately 56" x 51" x 30") each day, five days a week. The end product (nylon) will be sold to various customers overseas for further processing to create a finished product. The number of employees on site is expected to consist of 5 manufacturing/warehouse employees and 2 management employees. PROJECT SITE The project site contains one building approximately 20,141 square feet in size located on a 23,894 square foot lot. Within the building, it will contain four shredding machines, one pressure press machine, and an open storage area. The applicant has not proposed any changes to the size, shape or topography of the existing site. The site plan for the proposed operation indicates the site is adequate in size for the proposed operation. The only proposed alterations to the existing structure are minor interior improvements. Access to the site is provided from Everett Court (a Private Street) located on the east side of the building. The streets and highways surrounding the project site are adequate in size and are improved as necessary to carry the traffic expected by this proposed operation. The applicant expects ten (10) truck trips per week and approximately sixteen (16) vehicle trips per day, including employee trips to and from the workplace, visitor trips, and miscellaneous employee trips throughout the day. One vehicle trip is comprised of one movement in and one movement out of the facility. In terms of parking for the site, the applicant will be providing twelve (12) legal, non -conforming automobile stalls and one (1) legal non -conforming truck stall. The existing building was constructed in the 1930's prior to the City adopting any zoning requirements. Because of the odd shape of the lot, and the existing structure on the lot, it would be difficult to comply with the maneuvering requirement without encroaching into the neighboring property. However, a prescriptive right allows the Applicant ingress and egress to the legal nonconforming stalls. The proposed use will not be undertaking any structural alterations to the property. Therefore, the building is not required to be brought into conformity with the City's zoning regulations, which would otherwise require 21 automobile parking spaces and 3 truck loading spaces and 1 truck parking area. The number of vehicles accessing the site is similar to the previous tenant of the property. When considering the low number of vehicles entering and exiting the site, staff believes that the existing parking and loading facilities should be more than sufficient for this use and therefore will not cause a significant traffic impact to neighboring properties or businesses, operations, or adjacent intersections. ZONING AND GENERAL PLAN CONSISTENCY The proposed use is consistent with the Zoning Ordinance and General Plan. The site is located in the I -Zone, Industrial. Jia Hui Resources, LLC is considered a "recycling facility" as defined in Zoning Code Section 26.2.11 because it takes the carpet that might otherwise be waste material, and converts much of it into new raw materials for use in the marketplace: "26.2.11. Recycling facility shall mean a facility that recycles used or waste materials in order to convert and redistribute them as raw materials, or in order to convert them and manufacture a product made wholly or partly from recycled materials, including a biodiesel facility. For these purposes, recycling shall mean a process involving reconstituting materials that would otherwise become waste and returning them to the economic mainstream in the form of raw materials for new reuses or reconstituted products which meet the quality standards necessary to be used in the marketplace. Recycling facility does not include recycling activities undertaken as an ancillary use to a permitted use." Under the Vernon municipal code, a "recycling facility" is an allowed use in the I -Zone with approval of a conditional use permit. CEOA ANALYSIS The proposed use is surrounded by properties with industrial uses that are compatible. No adverse impacts from traffic, parking, noise, odor, dust, or explosion are expected to occur to the adjacent of 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 CEQA, which identifies potentially significant impacts on the environment from the project. STATE OR FEDERAL CONDITIONS All Federal, State, and local regulatory permits shall be obtained as required for the operation. STAFF FINDINGS A conditional use permit shall only be granted if the following findings as required by Section 26.6.3- 4 of the Vernon Zoning Code can be made. Staff concludes that the following findings can be made, and recommends that they be made in the following manner: a. The lot for the proposed use is adequate in size, shape and topography, including any required drainage and landscaping; No changes in the physical nature of the lot or building are being made. The lot for the proposed use is adequate in size, shape, and topography for a recycling facility because the owner has not proposed any changes to the size, shape or topography of the existing site, and because the lot is large enough to contain more than sufficient parking to meet the expected needs of the proposed use. b. The use permitted under the conditional use permit will not adversely affect the interests of the public or the interests of other residents and property owners within the vicinity of the lot in question; The project proposes a recycling facility within an existing structure. The Project site is surrounded by industrial and warehousing uses compatible with the proposed use. The conditions on the conditional use permit will ensure that the property is used in the manner promised by the applicant. Similar to other surrounding uses, an initial study was performed in compliance with CEQA, and it was determined that the project would not adversely affect the interests of the public or the interests of other residents and property owners within the vicinity of the lot in question. The amount of noise and traffic generated by the proposed use is negligible, and will not adversely affect the public, residents or property owners. C. The proposed use will be compatible with the permitted uses ofsurrounding and adjacent properties; The proposed use is similar to other industrial uses in the area and will be compatible with the permitted uses of surrounding and adjacent properties because (i) recycling uses may be permitted in the I -Zone of the City with a conditional use permit; and (ii) the proposed use is required to meet the City's noise and vibration standards to ensure that there will not be negative impacts on adjacent properties; (iii) the parking and traffic impacts generated by the proposed use are insignificant. d. The lot has adequate off-street parking and loading facilities for the proposed use; The existing building at 4726 Everett Court was constructed in the 1930's prior to the city establishing any zoning regulations or mandatory parking and loading requirements, and, pursuant to the Vernon Municipal Code, because the project does not involve sufficient revisions to the property, is therefore not required to provide the full amount of parking and loading facilities otherwise required by the code. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the lot still has adequate parking and loading facilities for the proposed use. The project site will be supported by a 12 stall surface parking lot, which should be more than sufficient for the seven employees expected to be at the facility on a daily basis. Because the remaining 5 parking spaces are expected to remain largely unused, even for customers, vendors, or other visitors, the parking is more than sufficient. Furthermore, the proposed use is only expected to generate approximately 10 truck trips per week (plus a de minimis number of incidental trips), and with the likely empty parking spaces to add maneuverability, as appropriate, the existing loading facilities are more than sufficient. Given that delivery trucks only are 40 in length, the 50 foot length of the loading dock is more than sufficient. Further, with the conditions imposed, all parking activities will be maintained within the Applicant's premises, loading facilities will be adequate and will not interfere with customer parking, and the proposed use will not create an impact on neighboring properties. The site parking areas will be paved with an impermeable surface that meets City of Vernon applicable development standards. No structural alterations are proposed. e. The use, as to location, operation and design, is consistent with the general plan, any applicable specific plan and the zoning regulations of the City of Vernon, including the city's policy considerations as to acceptable uses in the city; The use, as to location, operation and design, is consistent with the objectives of the Vernon Zoning Code and General Plan. The proposed site is surrounded by industrial and warehousing uses that are compatible with the proposed operation. The existing building was constructed prior to the city establishing any zoning regulations. The legal non -conforming facility may be continued provided that it does not expand its building footprint, and is not vacant in excess of the period of two years, which it is not. No structural alterations to the building are proposed. Therefore, the building is not required to be brought into conformity with the City's zoning regulations. As long as the applicant complies with these terms, the conditional use permit will be consistent with the objectives of the Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance and the General Plan. f. The use is consistent with all applicable county, state, and federal laws, rules and regulations; The proposed use is consistent with all applicable local, county, state and federal laws, rules and regulations. No law prevents the proposed use of the property. g. The proposed use will not adversely affect the general welfare as a result of noise, increased traffic, interference with the flow of traffic, dust, or other undesirable characteristics; The proposed use is not undertaking any structural alterations. The level of service of the existing road system will not be adversely impacted by the proposed use. The applicant expects ten (10) truck trips per week and approximately sixteen (16) vehicle trips per day, including employee trips to and from the workplace, visitor trips, and miscellaneous employee trips throughout the day. One vehicle trip is comprised of one movement in and one movement out of the facility. This number of trips is similar to the previous use of the site and the traffic generated will not constitute an adverse impact. The project will be required to comply with the City's noise, vibration, and fire code standards. Therefore, the general welfare of the community will not be adversely impacted. h. The conditions stated in the decision are deemed necessary to protect the public health, safety and general welfare. All of the conditions imposed on the Project are necessary to protect the public health, safety and general welfare because the conditions are limited in nature, and ensure that the property is used in the manner promised by the applicant. CONDITIONS It is recommended that the following conditions be set on the permit. These conditions are deemed necessary to protect the public health, safety and general welfare: a.

Operations Report Purpose: The main operation on this warehouse is to process new/used residential carpets.. The end product we need is the upper layer of these carpets, which is mainly Nylon; we sell and ship this out to China. In the report attached, we have include a detail material and hazardous report on the materials involved with these carpets, which none of them are showing any signs of harm to human or to the environment We purchase these carpets from Avanti Wire, located at 14632 Nelson Ave, City Of Industry, CA 91715. When it arrives we have four machines that we feed these carpets into, which separates the top layer from the bottom layer. The top and bottom layer of it will be separated and placed into two different boxes. The top layer is our end product. It will then be placed into our other machine to pressure press them into our cardboard boxes to be ship out to China from the port of Long Beach. The bottom layer gets picked up by the same company from City Of Industry for other uses. We will process about 7 bales (approx. 56"W x 51 "D x 30"H inches each) a day. Each bale is about a little less than 1,000 Ibs, 5 days a week. Our raw material should arrive every Monday at 10am — 12pm on a 40' ft semi- trailer truck, during these two hours we should be unloading 35 bales of carpet, and loading the bottom layer back to City Of Industry warehouse. Our end products should be shipped out every Monday at 8am-10am to the port of Long Beach with a 40' ft semi- trailer truck. We do not own any trailer tracks, so nothing will be parked at our facility. We do rent these trucks from tracking companies.

Catalloy process resins These products are primarily used in modifying polymer properties in film applications and molded products; specialty films, geomembranes and roofing materials; bitumen modification for roofing and asphalt applications; and manufacturing automotive bumpers. Phvslcal 1 Chemical Prooerties Polypropylene resins are solid polymers that are stable at ambient temperatures. When heated to very high temperatures, the resins may burn or decompose to flammable hydrocarbons. Most polypropylene grades have good chemical resistance. Common commercial grades of polypropylene have a melting point in the range of 1450C - 1650C (295°F - 330°F). Some specialty resin grades have melting points In the range of 125°C - 140°C (257°F - 284°F). Polypropylene dust may form explosive mixtures with air. Health Effects Health hazards are negligible at ambient temperatures because of the polymers' high molecular weight, minimal toxicity and general inertness. Polypropylene polymers have a low irritation and sensitization potential. Hot material may cause thermal burns. GPS Safety Summary Polypropylene 15 August 2012 Page 2 of 6 At processing temperatures, irritating fumes may cause soreness in the nose and throat; coughing may result. If the product Is spilled, it may create slipping hazards. The United States Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) and European Union (EU) regulations consider polypropylene polymers as non -hazardous with regard to health hazards. The United States Department of Transportation (USDOT) and the United Nations (UN) Model regulations consider polypropylene polymers to be non -hazardous. Environmental Effects Polypropylene resins are not expected to be toxic to the environment. Polypropylene is not considered biodegradable as it biodegrades at a slow rate and may persist in the environment. Exposure During handling or processing of polypropylene resins, exposure to hot material, fumes and dust may take place. For such activities, exposure should be controlled by selecting and applying the appropriate Risk Management Measures. Spillage of polypropylene resin may cause exposure to the environment, which can be minimized by proper design of equipment, handling procedures and cleaning -up spilled pellets or granules immediately. Risk Management Guidance For detailed guidance on the use of polypropylene polymers and compounds, please consult the (Material) Safety Data Sheet. In general, recommended risk management measures will include, but may not be limited to the following: • Avoid contact with strong oxidizers, excessive heat, sparks or open flame. • Clean-up spilled pellets or granules to prevent slipping hazard, or environmental exposure. • Ventilate. area during handling or processing of polypropylene resins to prevent accumulation of dust and fumes. • Use appropriate Personnel Protective Equipment (PPE) when dust or fumes are present. In addition, the following measures will help reduce the loss of pellets to the environment: • Bulk -handling equipment to minimize pellet leakage. • Screening placed in storm drains. • Proper emptying and sealing of bulk containers (rail or truck) prior to shipment to prevent loss of residual pellets from unsealed "empty" bulk cars and trucks.

Description of the Project: Jia Hui Resources, LLC has submitted an application for a conditional use permit to operate a recycling facility located at 4726 Everett Court in the City of Vernon. It is proposing to occupy a 20,141 existing square foot building. Academia Industries, Inc., a furniture manufacturer, previously occupied the site. The proposed use will consist of processing carpet scraps, storage, shredding and sorting and will operate from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. five days a week, Monday through Friday. The proposed use is consistent with the City of Vernon Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance and the City of Vernon General Plan. The project is subject to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) because it requires discretionary approval. 9. Surrounding Land Uses and Setting: Industrial buildings buffered on two sides by Everett Court and 49th Street and railroad tracks on the north surround the project location. Specific companies closest to the project location are: • North: Hansen Cold Storage Construction (4410 District Boulevard) • East: Great West Produce Company (4733 Loma Vista Avenue) • South: Meridith Baer Associates (4820 Everett Court) • West: Melanie Machine Company (4371 491h Street) 10.

Substantially degrade the existing visual character or quality of the site and its surroundings? X d. Create a new source of substantial light or glare which would adversely affect day or nighttime views in the area? X Discussion 1.) a. through d. The project location is in an industrial area surrounded by similar industrial facilities in a topography that is very flat. This particular building was built in the 1930's. This project does not change the aesthetics. There is no scenic vista as views from all sides of the project consist of other industrial buildings. Nor are their scenic resources (highways, trees, etc.). Since the applicant has not proposed any changes to the size, shape or topography of the existing site and all operations will be taking place inside the structure, no visual resources are impaired in any way. Therefore no significant impacts are anticipated to the existing visual nature of the project location or the surrounding area. 2 AGRICULTURE AND: OIREST'RESOURCES; In determining whether'}'impacts to agricultural"resources . are"slgnlflcant environmental effects, "lead agencies may refer, to' the California,"Agricultural'L'and' Eyaivation and Site Assessment Model (1997) prepared by; the California,Dept. of Conservation ,as an' optional model to use In assessing.impacts on agriculture and farltiland.

Jia Hui Resources, LLC - Indoor Carpet Recycling Facility Initial Study CEQA Environmental Checklist Discussion 2.) a. through e. The project site is fully developed. Both the existing building and the surface parking are in Vernon, a "strictly industrial" city with no agricultural farmland or agricultural use. There is no existing or proposed zoning for forest land or issues relating to conversion of forest land to non -forest use. 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. The proposed project consists of carpet scraps being fed into a shredding machine which removes the top layer of the carpet (the nylon) from the bottom layer. Once separated the top and bottom layers are place into separate boxes. The finished product (Top Layer) is boxed and then shipped overseas for further processing. The bottom layer gets picked up by the same company that originally delivered the bales of carpet. Therefore, the project would not conflict with existing agricultural resources, zoning or a Williamson Act contract. No impacts would occur, and no mitigation measures would be necessary. 3.

Expose sensitive receptors to substantial pollutant concentrations? X e. Create objectionable odors affecting a substantial number of people? X Discussion 3.) a. through e. The City of Vernon is located within the South Coast Air Basin of California. The basin covers a 6,600-square mile area within Orange County, non -desert portions of Los Angeles County, Riverside County, and San Bernardino County. Air quality in the basin is monitored by the South Coast Air Quality Management District ("AQMD") at 35 monitoring stations throughout the area. The monitoring station nearest to the City of Vernon is the Pico Rivera station. The proposed project consists of carpet scraps being fed into a shredding machine which removes the top layer of the carpet (the nylon) from the bottom layer. Once separated the top and bottom layers are place into separate boxes. The finished product (Top Layer) is boxed it is then shipped overseas for further processing. The bottom layer gets picked up by the same company who originally delivered the bales of carpet. Vehicular traffic to and from the site is similar to the previous tenant, and similar to and/or less than other uses authorized by right on the property without a CUP, and will be less than 20 trips a day. Therefore, no significant increase in vehicular emissions will result from the operation of the facility above the baseline. All equipment is electrically operated and the electrical load is similar to the previous tenant and other authorized uses. All dust and fibers from the recycling operation are required to be collected in accordance with the Fire Code. Readings at the station are used to characterize air quality in the City of Vernon. Therefore, the proposed use will not have any significant impact on air quality, sensitive receptors, or create unusual conditions, which could alter air movement, moisture, temperature, or climate. In addition, the proposed project will not create any impact objectionable odors. Jia Hui Resources, LLC - Indoor Carpet Recycling Facility Initial Study CEQA Environmental Checklist 4.

No vegetation or natural habitat exists on the project site or in the vicinity. No wildlife has been identified proximate to the project, nor are there wetlands or riparian areas nearby. The project will not alter or disperse any migration corridors. No impacts would occur, and no mitigation measures are necessary. 5. ,CULTURAL' RESOURCES.

CEQA Guidelines define 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. All project impacts are within the building itself. The project site itself does not meet any of the cultural resource qualifications for being a historical, archeological, or paleontological resource. There is no impact and no mitigation measures are necessary. 6, GEOLOGY ANDSO,ILS.

Have soils incapable of adequately supporting the use of septic tanks or alternative wastewater disposal systems where sewers X are not available for the disposal of wastewater? Discussion 6.) a. i. through iv. The California Geological Service (CGS) under the Alquist-Priolo Act, is charged with establishing Earthquake Fault Zones. These zones extend from 200 to 500 feet on each side of a known earthquake fault to identify areas where potential fault rupture could impact occupied buildings. The project site is not located within an Alquist-Priolo fault zone as designated by the CGS. However the project site is located in Southern California, but the closest fault is located over seven miles from the site. The building was constructed in compliance with the Vernon City Code and the Building Code at the time of construction and is made up of unreinforced masonry. The Applicant has indicated that it does not plan to retrofit, expand or structurally alter the existing building. Because the owner will not be undertaking any major structural alterations to the property, the building is not required to be brought into conformity with the Building Code at this time. However, if the building undergoes a major alteration that exceeds twenty-five percent (25%) of the assessed value of the building or repairs of an existing roof or roof covering is made to more than twenty-five percent (25%) of the total roof area, the owner shall be required to comply with the provisions of the California Existing Building Code.- As a result any impact on the project from 'strong seismic ground shaking' is deemed less than significant. Further analysis of the building structure is not required and no mitigation measures are necessary. 6.) b. through e. The building was originally built around 1930's. No modifications have been made to the project site to re -grade or modify the existing land. Therefore, it is evident that all soil is stable and this project would not create instability as all work and improvements have been done within the building. Since sewers are available for wastewater discharge soil designated adequate for septic or discharge is not applicable and the project poses no impact.

Incorporated :'Im act Impact - a. Generate green gas emissions either directly or indirectly, that ,. may have a significant impact on the environment? X b. Conflict with an applicable plan, policy or regulation adopted for the purpose of reducingthe emissions of greenhouse gases? X Discussion 7.) a. and b. GHG emissions from the proposed activities would be primarily the result of fuel use by employee vehicles trips. The GHG emissions from operation activities will consist of ten (10) truck trips per week and approximately sixteen (16) vehicle trips per day, including employee trips to and from the workplace, visitor trips, and miscellaneous employee trips throughout the day. One vehicle trip is comprised of one movement in and one movement out of the facility. This is similar to the previous tenant. The previous use was an industrial operation that produced wood flooring. As previously mentioned, the proposed project will consists of carpet scraps being fed into a shredding machine which removes the top layer of the carpet (the nylon) from the bottom layer. Once separated the top and bottom layers are place into separate boxes. The finished product (Top Layer) is boxed it is then shipped overseas for further processing. The bottom layer gets picked up by the same company who originally delivered the bales of carpet. Equipment is electrically driven; the electrical usage will be similar to the previous tenant and other uses that are authorized by right in the zone, the anticipated operation -related GHG emissions at the proposed site are forecast to be insignificant, because of the proposed activities are primarily the results of fuel use by employee vehicles trips which was similar to the previous operation, plus a small number of incidental trips. Therefore, no substantial increase in GHG's are anticipated, and in fact, may reduce total GHG emissions somewhat, given that the recycling process may cause a decrease in the need to obtain such original resources from elsewhere. The project will not have a significant impact on the environment or conflict with an applicable plan, policy or regulation adopted for the purpose of reducing the emissions of greenhouse gases. t: 8.

Discussion 8.) a. through h. As previously mentioned, the proposed project will consists of carpet scraps being fed into a shredding machine which removes the top layer of the carpet (the nylon) from the bottom layer. Once separated, the top and bottom layers are placed into separate boxes. The finished product (Top Layer) is boxed it is then shipped overseas for further processing. The proposed activities do not include work that could create a significant hazard involving the release of hazardous materials into the environment. Even if it did, the local Certified Unified Program Agency (CUPA) regulates use and storage of hazardous materials at any facility within the City of Vernon, which is the City of Vernon Environmental Health Department. All facilities within the City are regularly inspected by the Vernon Fire and Environmental Health Departments for code violations. The inspections are made to reduce the potential for urban fires and chemical releases. The Vernon Fire Department has a fully manned hazardous materials unit. All personnel are trained in hazardous material response. The proposed existing regulations and permitting requirements will be adhered to by the facility and this compliance will reduce potential hazards to less than significant levels. If required, a Hazardous Materials Establishment Permit, as required of all facilities within the City, must be submitted to and approved by the City of Vernon Environmental Health and Fire Departments. A Hazardous Materials Establishment Permit shall include, but not be limited to, instruction and on-the-job training of employees to identify and handle hazardous materials and shall be conducted by an individual knowledgeable in hazardous materials management. These requirements are standard requirements of facilities located within the City of Vernon to regulate the handling and storage of hazardous materials involved in the everyday function of non -hazardous businesses. There is no impact and no mitigation measures are necessary. The site is not located within Y, mile of a public facility or school. A residential tract is % mile south of the project location and traffic activity to and from the site is away from the residences. The site is not designated a hazardous material site, nor is it within an airport land use plan. It is not a location proximate to wildlands, and as a result mitigation measures are unnecessary. 9.

Inundation by seiche, tsunami, or mudflow? X Discussion 9.) a. through j. This is an existing building and all improvements and operations occur within the building itself. No modifications have been made to the site so existing grading and drainage patterns are unaffected. The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has not designated the site as being within a 100-year flood hazard area, so no mitigation measures are necessary to prevent flooding. The City of Vernon maintains the streets to insure appropriate drainage is maintained for normal storms and water runoff. The project site is not located in the vicinity of a body of water. Therefore, the project would not be susceptible to inundation by a seiche or tsunami. The project is not located down slope 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. 10. LAND'USE ANj ",P ANNING.

Resources, LLC - Indoor Carpet Recycling Facility Initial Study CEQA Environmental Checklist 12 Discussion 16.) a. through f. Several freeways serve the City of Vernon. To the north is the Santa Ana (1-5), Santa Monica (1-10) and the Hollywood (1-101) freeways, to the west Is the Harbor Freeway (1-110), and to the east is the Long Beach Freeway (1-710). The City of Vernon has several arterials, which bisect the City. The streets surrounding the project site are adequate in width and are improved as necessary to carry the traffic expected by this proposed use. The proposed activities would not be expected to cause an overloading of the capacity of the surrounding street system, as the project site is located in an existing industrial area and traffic generated by the project is similar to the previous use of the site. The project is expected to generate ten (10) truck trips per week and approximately sixteen (16) vehicle trips per day, including employee trips to and from the workplace, visitor trips, and miscellaneous employee trips throughout the day. One vehicle trip is comprised of one movement in and one movement out of the facility. No safety hazards resulting from incompatible uses are expected. Operation of the project would not demand new parking, as there is more than sufficient parking for the proposed use. Since there is ample room to accommodate their current parking and loading needs, no overflow parking onto adjacent side streets will occur. Significant impacts are not expected. Any new development would be required to meet the city's auto and truck parking and loading requirements of the City's Zoning Code. The site was previously utilized for an industrial operation. The proposed use will be different, but initially less of an impact than the previous occupant, if any will not negatively impact the level of service of the nearby intersections. The activity at the site will not involve direct waterborne or air traffic. Vernon's industrial base makes this operation compatible with the physical aspects of roads and intersections. The transportation necessary to conduct Jia Hui's business does not impact public transportation, bicycles, pedestrian facilities, or emergency access. 17, UTILITIES AND SERVICE SYSTEMS. ,.Would the project: Potentially, - Potentially Sgnif 6ani Unless Less Than '- $igniricent Mitigation Significant, - NO' .Issues end Su din Information Sourcesi.

The proposed site is located in an area that is fully urbanized and served by an existing extensive electricity and gas infrastructure. Implementation of the project is not expected to result in the need for new power lines or natural gas systems. No significant increase in energy demand is anticipated from the project. Sufficient infrastructure is in place in the City of Vernon to afford a slight increase in power consumption at the facility. There will be no significant impact to the City of Vernon Utilities Department. The proposed site will be served by existing communication systems. The LLC - Indoor Carpet Recycling Facility Initial Study CEQA Environmental Checklist 13 telephone, cable, and other communication systems are adequate and available to serve the proposed site. No need for new communication systems are required to serve the proposed site. The site was previously served with water, sewer, and storm water drainage utilities and service will continue with the proposed site. All main lines are in place and the proposed operation will not require any additional services beyond those presently offered. The proponents will provide their own refuse pick up. Therefore, there will be no impact. 18. MANDATORY FINDINGS OF SIGN IFIOANCE., Would the project:.

Does the project have the potential to degrade the quality of the environment, substantially reduce the habitat of a fish or wildlife species, cause a fish or wildlife population to drop below self- sustaining levels, threaten to eliminate a plant or animal X 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? b. Does the project have impacts that are individually limited, but cumulatively considerable? ("Cumulatively considerable" means that the incremental effects of a project are X considerable when viewed in connection with the effects of past projects, the effects of other current projects, and the effects of probable future projects)? C. Does the project have environmental effects which will cause substantial adverse effects on human beings, either directly or X indirectly? Discussion 18.) a. through c. As previously indicated the project is located within the City of Vernon, zoned "I" Industrial, and is compatible with the industries in the surrounding area. The City of Vernon is primarily made up of industrial and distribution type facilities with limited plant life. Plant life is limited to non-native and ornamental species, which are used for landscaping. Animal life in Vernon and nearby urban communities consists of bird, reptile and mammal species that live in close proximity to man. There are no endangered species in Vernon. There is no evidence or important examples of major periods of California history in Vernon. Therefore, the proposed project will create no impact. There will not be an impact on long-term environmental goals. The proposed project will not cause a cumulative impact to air quality, traffic, noise, groundwater, surface water, or exposure to hazardous materials, and will not create any impact to sensitive receptors, except that the project may cause a less than significant impact on greenhouse gas emissions. Therefore, the cumulative impact will be less than significant.

AESTHETICS. Would the project. Potentially Potentially Significant Unless Less Than Issues and Su ortin Information Sources Significant Impact Mitigation Inco n c orated Significant Impact No Impact a. Have a substantial adverse effect on a scenic vista? X b. Substantially damage scenic resources, including, but not limited to, trees, rock outcroppings, and historic buildings within X a state scenic highway? C. Substantially degrade the existing visual character or quality of the site and its surroundings? X d. Create a new source of substantial light or glare which would adverse) affect dayor nighttime views in the area? X Discussion 1.) a. through d. The project location is in an industrial area surrounded by similar industrial facilities in a topography that is very flat. This particular building was built in the 1930's. This project does not change the aesthetics. There is no scenic vista as views from all sides of the project consist of other industrial buildings. Nor are their scenic resources (highways, trees, etc.). Since the applicant has not proposed any changes to the size, shape or topography of the existing site and all operations will be taking place inside the structure, no visual resources are impaired in any way. Therefore no significant impacts are anticipated to the existing visual nature of the project location or the surrounding area. 2. AGRICULTURE AND FOREST RESOURCES. In determining whether Impacts to agricultural resources are significant environmentaleffects, lead agencies may refer to the California Agricultural' Land Evaluation and Site Assessment Model (1997) prepared by the California Dept. of Conservation as an optional model to use in assessing impacts on agriculture and farmland. In determining whether impacts' to forest resources, including timberland are significant environmental effects, lead agencies may refer` to information complied by the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection regarding the. state's inventory of forest land, including the Forest and Range Assessment Project. and the Forest Legacy Assessment project; and forest carbon measurement methodology provided in Forest Protocols adopted by the California Air Resources Board. -- Would the project: Potentially. - Potentially Significant. Unless -. Less Than Issues and Supporting Information. Sources Significant Impact Mitigation Incorporated Significant Impact No Impact a. Convert Prime Farmland, Unique Farmland, or Farmland of Statewide Importance (Farmland), as shown on the maps prepared pursuant to the Farmland Mapping and Monitoring X Program of the California Resources Agency, to non- agricultural use? b. Conflict with existing zoning for agricultural use, or a Williamson Act contract? X C. Conflict with existing zoning for, or cause rezoning of, forest land (as defined In Public Resources Code section 12220(g)), timberland (as defined by Public Resources Code section X 4526), or timberland zoned Timberland Production (as defined by Government Code section 511104 ? d. Result in the loss of forest land or conversion of forest land to non -forest use? X e. Involve other changes in the existing environment which, due to their location or nature, could result in conversion of Farmland, to non-agricultural use or conversion of forest land to non -forest X use? Jia Hui Resources, LLC - Indoor racmry CEQA Environmental Discussion 2.) a. through e. The project site is fully developed. Both the existing building and the surface parking are in Vernon, a "strictly industrial' city with no agricultural farmland or agricultural use. There is no existing or proposed zoning for forest land or issues relating to conversion of forest land to non -forest use. 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. The proposed project consists of carpet scraps being fed into a shredding machine which removes the top layer of the carpet (the nylon) from the bottom layer. Once separated the top and bottom layers are place into separate boxes. The finished product (Top Layer) is boxed and then shipped overseas for further processing. The bottom layer gets picked up by the same company that originally delivered the bales of carpet. Therefore, the project would not conflict with existing agricultural resources, zoning or a Williamson Act contract. No impacts would occur, and no mitigation measures would be necessary. 3. 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: ' - Potentially Potentially Significant Unless Less Than Issues. and. Su o rtin .Information: Sources Significant Impact Mitigation Inco oraled Significant Impact No Impact . a. Conflict with or obstruct implementation of the applicable air qualityIan? X b. Violate any air quality standard or contribute substantially to an existingor projected air qualityviolation? X C. Result in a cumulatively considerable net increase of any criteria pollutant for which the project region is non -attainment under an applicable federal or state ambient air quality X standard (including releasing emissions which exceed quantitative thresholds for ozone precursors)? d. Expose sensitive receptors to substantial pollutant concentrations? X e. Create objectionable odors affecting a substantial number of people? X Discussion 3.) a. through e. The City of Vernon is located within the South Coast Air Basin of California. The basin covers a 6,600-square mile area within Orange County, non -desert portions of Los Angeles County, Riverside County, and San Bernardino County. Air quality in the basin is monitored by the South Coast Air Quality Management District ("AQMD") at 35 monitoring stations throughout the area. The monitoring station nearest to the City of Vernon is the Pico Rivera station. The proposed project consists of carpet scraps being fed into a shredding machine which removes the top layer of the carpet (the nylon) from the bottom layer. Once separated the top and bottom layers are place into separate boxes. The finished product (Top Layer) is boxed it is then shipped overseas for further processing. The bottom layer gets picked up by the same company who originally delivered the bales of carpet. Vehicular traffic to and from the site is similar to the previous tenant, and similar to and/or less than other uses authorized by right on the property without a CUP, and will be less than 20 trips a day. Therefore, no significant increase in vehicular emissions will result from the operation of the facility above the baseline. All equipment is electrically operated and the electrical load is similar to the previous tenant and other authorized uses. All dust and fibers from the recycling operation are required to be collected in accordance with the Fire Code. Readings at the station are used to characterize air quality in the City of Vernon. Therefore, the proposed use will not have any significant impact on air quality, sensitive receptors, or create unusual conditions, which could alter air movement, moisture, temperature, or climate. In addition, the proposed project will not create any impact objectionable odors. Jia Hui Resources, LLC - Indoor Carpet Recycling Facility Initial Study CEQA Environmental Checklist 4. BIOLOGICAL RESOURCES. Would theproject?

Have a substantial adverse effect on any riparian habitat or other sensitive natural community identified in local or regional X plans, policies, and regulations or by the California Department of Fish and Game or US Fish and Wildlife Service? C. Have a substantial adverse effect of federally protected wetlands as defined by Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (including, but not limited to, marsh, vernal pool, coastal, etc.) X through direct removal, filling, hydrological interruption, or other means? d. Interfere substantially with the movement of any native resident or migratory fish or wildlife species or with established native X resident or migratory wildlife corridors, or impede the use of native wildlife nursery sites? e. Conflict with any local policies or ordinances protecting biological resources, such as a tree preservation policy or X ordinance? f. Conflict with the provisions of an adopted Habitat Conservation Plan, Natural Community Conservation Plan, or other approved X local, regional, or state habitat conservation Ian? Discussion 4.) a. through f. This project is fully developed within the City of Vernon and zoned "I" Industrial. All operations are fully contained within the building. No vegetation or natural habitat exists on the project site or in the vicinity. No wildlife has been identified proximate to the project, nor are there wetlands or riparian areas nearby. The project will not alter or disperse any migration corridors. No impacts would occur, and no mitigation measures are necessary. 5. CULTURAL RESOURCES. Would the project. Potentially Potentially Significant Unless. Less Than Significant Mitigation Significant No. Issues and lSu ortin ;Infonnation:Sources Impact Incorporated Impact Impact a. Cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of a historical resource as defined in Section 15064.5? X b. Cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of an archaeological resource pursuant to Section 15064.5? X C. Directly or indirectly destroy a unique paleontological resource or site or unique geologic feature? X d. Disturb any human remains, including those interred outside of formal cemeteries? X Jia Hui Resources, LLC - Indoor Carpet Recycling Facility In CEQA Environmental Discussion 5.) a. through d. There are no known cultural resources in the area. CEQA Guidelines define 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. All project impacts are within the building itself. The project site itself does not meet any of the cultural resource qualifications for being a historical, archeological, or paleontological resource. There is no impact and no mitigation measures are necessary. 6. GEOLOGY AND SOILS. Would the project. . Potentially Potentially :Significant Unless Less Than Significant Mitigation Significant No Issues. and Supporting Infomtation Sources Impact Incorporated Impact Impact a. Expose people or structures to potential substantial adverse effects, includingthe risk of loss, injury, or death involving: X 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 X evidence of a known fault? Refer to Division of Mines and Geology Special Publication 42. ii. Strong seismic ground shaking? X iii. Seismic -related ground failure, including liquefaction? X iv. Landslides? X b. Result in substantial soil erosion or the loss of topsoil? X C. Be located on a geologic unit or soil that is unstable, or that would become unstable as a result of the project, and X potentially result in on- or off -site landslide, lateral spreading, subsidence, liquefaction or collapse? d.

Have soils incapable of adequately supporting the use of septic tanks or alternative wastewater disposal systems where sewers X are not available for the disposal of wastewater? Discussion 6.) a. i. through iv. The California Geological Service (CGS) under the Alquist-Priolo Act, is charged with establishing Earthquake Fault Zones. These zones extend from 200 to 500 feet on each side of a known earthquake fault to identify areas where potential fault rupture could impact occupied buildings. The project site is not located within an Alquist-Priolo fault zone as designated by the CGS. However the project site is located in Southern California, but the closest fault is located over seven miles from the site. The building was constructed in compliance with the Vernon City Code and the Building Code at the time of construction and is made up of unreinforced masonry. The Applicant has indicated that it does not plan to retrofit, expand or structurally alter the existing building. Because the owner will not be undertaking any major structural alterations to the property, the building is not required to be brought into conformity with the Building Code at this time. However, if the building undergoes a major alteration that exceeds twenty-five percent (25%) of the assessed value of the building or repairs of an existing roof or roof covering is made to more than twenty-five percent (25%) of the total roof area, the owner shall be required to comply with the provisions of the California Existing Building Code.- As a result any impact on the project from 'strong seismic ground shaking' is deemed less than significant. Further analysis of the building structure is not required and no mitigation measures are necessary. 6.) b. through e. The building was originally built around 1930's. No modifications have been made to the project site to re -grade or modify the existing land. Therefore, it is evident that all soil is stable and this project would not create instability as all work and improvements have been done within the building. Since sewers are available for wastewater discharge soil designated adequate for septic or discharge is not applicable and the project poses no impact.

Potentially Potentially Significant Unless Less Than Significant Mitigation Significant No Issues and Supporting Information Sources Impact Incorporated Impact Impact a. Generate green gas emissions either directly or indirectly, that may have a significant impact on the environment? X b. Conflict with an applicable plan, policy or regulation adopted for the purpose of reducingthe emissions of greenhouse gases? X Discussion 7.) a. and b. GHG emissions from the proposed activities would be primarily the result of fuel use by employee vehicles trips. The GHG emissions from operation activities will consist of ten (10) truck trips per week and approximately sixteen (16) vehicle trips per day, including employee trips to and from the workplace, visitor trips, and miscellaneous employee trips throughout the day. One vehicle trip is comprised of one movement in and one movement out of the facility. This is similar to the previous tenant. The previous use was an industrial operation that produced wood flooring. As previously mentioned, the proposed project will consists of carpet scraps being fed into a shredding machine which removes the top layer of the carpet (the nylon) from the bottom layer. Once separated the top and bottom layers are place into separate boxes. The finished product (Top Layer) is boxed it is then shipped overseas for further processing. The bottom layer gets picked up by the same company who originally delivered the bales of carpet. Equipment is electrically driven; the electrical usage will be similar to the previous tenant and other uses that are authorized by right in the zone, the anticipated operation -related GHG emissions at the proposed site are forecast to be insignificant, because of the proposed activities are primarily the results of fuel use by employee vehicles trips which was similar to the previous operation, plus a small number of incidental trips. Therefore, no substantial increase in GHG's are anticipated, and in fact, may reduce total GHG emissions somewhat, given that the recycling process may cause a decrease in the need to obtain such original resources from elsewhere. The project will not have a significant impact on the environment or conflict with an applicable plan, policy or regulation adopted for the purpose of reducing the emissions of greenhouse gases. 8.

Expose people or structures to a significant risk or loss, injury or death involving wildland fires, including where wildlands are X adjacent to urbanized areas or where residences are intermixed with wildlands? Discussion 8.) a. through h. As previously mentioned, the proposed project will consists of carpet scraps being fed into a shredding machine which removes the top layer of the carpet (the nylon) from the bottom layer. Once separated, the top and bottom layers are placed into separate boxes. The finished product (Top Layer) is boxed it is then shipped overseas for further processing. The proposed activities do not include work that could create a significant hazard involving the release of hazardous materials into the environment. Even if it did, the local Certified Unified Program Agency (CUPA) regulates use and storage of hazardous materials at any facility within the City of Vernon, which is the City of Vernon Environmental Health Department. All facilities within the City are regularly inspected by the Vernon Fire and Environmental Health Departments for code violations. The inspections are made to reduce the potential for urban fires and chemical releases. The Vernon Fire Department has a fully manned hazardous materials unit. All personnel are trained in hazardous material response. The proposed existing regulations and permitting requirements will be adhered to by the facility and this compliance will reduce potential hazards to less than significant levels. If required, a Hazardous Materials Establishment Permit, as required of all facilities within the City, must be submitted to and approved by the City of Vernon Environmental Health and Fire Departments. A Hazardous Materials Establishment Permit shall include, but not be limited to, instruction and on-the-job training of employees to identify and handle hazardous materials and shall be conducted by an individual knowledgeable in hazardous materials management. These requirements are standard requirements of facilities located within the City of Vernon to regulate the handling and storage of hazardous materials involved in the everyday function of non -hazardous businesses. There is no impact and no mitigation measures are necessary. The site is not located within '/4 mile of a public facility or school. A residential tract is % mile south of the project location and traffic activity to and from the site is away from the residences. The site is not designated a hazardous material site, nor is it within an airport land use plan. It is not a location proximate to wildlands, and as a result mitigation measures are unnecessary. 9.

Place within a 100-year flood hazard area structures which would impede or redirect flood flows? X i. Expose people or structures to a significant risk of loss, injury or death involving flooding, including flooding as a result of the X failure of a levee or dam? j. Inundation by seiche, tsunami, or mudflow? X Discussion 9.) a. through j. This is an existing building and all improvements and operations occur within the building itself. No modifications have been made to the site so existing grading and drainage patterns are unaffected. The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has not designated the site as being within a 100-year flood hazard area, so no mitigation measures are necessary to prevent flooding. The City of Vernon maintains the streets to insure appropriate drainage is maintained for normal storms and water runoff. The project site is not located in the vicinity of a body of water. Therefore, the project would not be susceptible to inundation by a seiche or tsunami. The project is not located down slope 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. 10. LAND USE AND PLANNING.

C. Conflict with any applicable habitat conservation plan or natural community conservation plan? X Discussion 10.) a. through c. The proposed project area is zoned I -Zone, Industrial. The City of Vernon is primarily made up of industrial and distribution type facilities. The project area will not conflict with any environmental plans or policies. No Habitat Conservation Plan (HCP), Natural Community Conservation Plan (NCCP), or other approved local, regional, or state HCP applies within the Vernon Planning Area. There will be no conflict with either an HCP or NCCP. Therefore, no significant impact associated with the propose use of the property will occur. No significant impacts will be created. The property area, consist of one building approximately 20,141 square feet in size located on a 23,894 square foot lot. The project site has no residential units or buildings on it that will be affected by the proposed use. The site is surrounded by compatible uses and will not disrupt or divide the physical arrangement of any established communities.

For a project within the vicinity of a private airstrip, would the project expose people residing or working in the project area to X excessive noise levels? Discussion 12.) a. through f. The City of Vernon Zoning Ordinance establishes comprehensive noise limits within the General Industrial Zone. The current maximum is 75dBA throughout the city, with the exceptions of projects within 1/10 of a mile from either a public school or residence. The project is within an industrial area and the surrounding manufacturing and warehousing uses are not noise sensitive. Normal operations within the facility include trucks entering the facility, transferring freight, processing of scrap carpet and a shredding machine that will be operated indoors to reduce noise levels from the neighboring businesses. These operations are not expected to noise impacts in excess of legal standards. No equipment within the building nor operational activity generates vibrations or ground - borne noise level. The use of the facility will not permanently increase the ambient noise levels. The project is not located within an airport land use plan nor within two miles of a public use airport. The project is not located within the vicinity of a private airstrip. Jia Hui Resources, LLC - Indoor Carpet Recycling Facility Initial Study CEQA Environmental Checklist 10 13.

Would the project result in substantial adverse physical impacts X associated with the provision of new or physically altered governmental facilities, need for new or physically altered governmental facilities, the 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: Fireprotection? X Policeprotection? X Schools? X Parks? X Other public facilities? X Discussion 14.) a. Emergency services including fire and police protection, emergency medical services, and hazardous material control are all provided by the City. In any emergency, immediate response from fire or police agencies comes within 4 minutes of any emergency request. While there are risks of fire associated with any industrial business in Vernon, this project does not significantly increase that risk, and no additional levels of service from either fire or police is considered necessary. The project will be located in a highly industrialized and developed area. The proposed project will not pose a need for new or altered fire, police. or school services within the City of Vernon. The project shall be required to maintain all materials on -site and prevent any off -site migration of trash or materials, unless hauled off by a refuse company. During operation, the site shall be maintained to prevent any impacts to the maintenance of public facilities. Therefore, there will be no significant impacts to public facilities. The nearest school and park is slightly more than one mile from the property. No other public facilities are impacted by this project.

C. Result in a change in air traffic patterns, including either an increase in traffic levels or a change in location that results in X substantial safety risks? d. Substantially increase hazards due to a design feature (e.g., sharp curves or dangerous intersections) or incompatible uses X e.., farm equipment)? e. Result in inadequate emergency access? X f. Conflict with adopted policies, plans, or programs regarding public transit, bicycle, or pedestrian facilities, or otherwise X decrease the performance or safety of such facilities? Jia Hui Resources, LLC - Indoor Carpet Recycling Facility Initial Study CEQA Environmental Checklist 12 Discussion 16.) a. through f. Several freeways serve the City of Vernon. To the north is the Santa Ana (1-5), Santa Monica (1-10) and the Hollywood (1-101) freeways, to the west is the Harbor Freeway (1-110), and to the east is the Long Beach Freeway (1-710). The City of Vernon has several arterials, which bisect the City. The streets surrounding the project site are adequate in width and are improved as necessary to carry the traffic expected by this proposed use. The proposed activities would not be expected to cause an overloading of the capacity of the surrounding street system, as the project site is located in an existing industrial area and traffic generated by the project is similar to the previous use of the site. The project is expected to generate ten (10) truck trips per week and approximately sixteen (16) vehicle trips per day, including employee trips to and from the workplace, visitor trips, and miscellaneous employee trips throughout the day. One vehicle trip is comprised of one movement in and one movement out of the facility. No safety hazards resulting from incompatible uses are expected. Operation of the project would not demand new parking, as there is more than sufficient parking for the proposed use. Since there is ample room to accommodate their current parking and loading needs, no overflow parking onto adjacent side streets will occur. Significant impacts are not expected. Any new development would be required to meet the city's auto and truck parking and loading requirements of the City's Zoning Code. The site was previously utilized for an industrial operation. The proposed use will be different, but initially less of an impact than the previous occupant, if any will not negatively impact the level of service of the nearby intersections. The activity at the site will not involve direct waterborne or air traffic. Vernon's industrial base makes this operation compatible with the physical aspects of roads and intersections. The transportation necessary to conduct Jia Hui's business does not impact public transportation, bicycles, pedestrian facilities, or emergency access. 17. UTILITIES AND SERVICE SYSTEMS.

Be served by a landfill with sufficient permitted capacity to X accommodate the roject's solid waste disposal needs? g. Comply with federal, state, and local statutes and regulations :L X related to solid waste? Discussion 17.) a. through g. The proposed site is located in an area that is fully urbanized and served by an existing extensive electricity and gas infrastructure. Implementation of the project is not expected to result in the need for new power lines or natural gas systems. No significant increase in energy demand is anticipated from the project. Sufficient infrastructure is in place in the City of Vernon to afford a slight increase in power consumption at the facility. There will be no significant impact to the City of Vernon Utilities Department. The proposed site will be served by existing communication systems. The Jia Hui Resources, LLC - Indoor Carpet Recycling Facility Initial Study CEQA Environmental Checklist 13 telephone, cable, and other communication systems are adequate and available to serve the proposed site. No need for new communication systems are required to serve the proposed site. The site was previously served with water, sewer, and storm water drainage utilities and service will continue with the proposed site. All main lines are in place and the proposed operation will not require any additional services beyond those presently offered. The proponents will provide their own refuse pick up. Therefore, there will be no impact. 18. MANDATORY FINDINGS OF SIGNIFICANCE.

Does the project have the potential to degrade the quality of the environment, substantially reduce the habitat of a fish or wildlife species, cause a fish or wildlife population to drop below self- sustaining levels, threaten to eliminate a plant or animal X 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? b. Does the project have impacts that are individually limited, but cumulatively considerable? (" Cumulatively considerable" means that the incremental effects of a project are X considerable when viewed in connection with the effects of past projects, the effects of other current projects, and the effects of robable future projects)? C. Does the project have environmental effects which will cause substantial adverse effects on human beings, either directly or X indirectly? Discussion 18.) a. through c. As previously indicated the project is located within the City of Vernon, zoned "I" Industrial, and is compatible with the industries in the surrounding area. The City of Vernon is primarily made up of industrial and distribution type facilities with limited plant life. Plant life is limited to non-native and ornamental species, which are used for landscaping. Animal life in Vernon and nearby urban communities consists of bird, reptile and mammal species that live in close proximity to man. There are no endangered species in Vernon. There is no evidence or important examples of major periods of California history in Vernon. Therefore, the proposed project will create no impact. There will not be an impact on long-term environmental goals. The proposed project will not cause a cumulative impact to air quality, traffic, noise, groundwater, surface water, or exposure to hazardous materials, and will not create any impact to sensitive receptors, except that the project may cause a less than significant impact on greenhouse gas emissions. Therefore, the cumulative impact will be less than significant.
