I CHD Gosvwwe�`ul�o �itv�ico May 18, 2005 To: Trisect, LLC 2130 W Franklin Rd Meridian, ID 83642 Subject: Staff level approval of MCZC-05-054 Solid Waste Transfer Station 2170 W Franklin Road John S. Franden, President ' Sherry R. Huber, 1st Vice President David Bivens, 2nd Vice President Carol A. McKee, Commissioner Rebecca W. Arnold, Commissioner ' I This is a staff level approval of MCZC-05-054. The applicant is proposing to construct a solid waste transfer station located at 2170 W Franklin Road. The applicant is proposing two gated access points on Ward Lane, (a private lane), located on the east property line. The District does not have jurisdiction on private lanes. The applicant has frontage on Franklin Road which is a public road and under the jurisdiction of the District. There are no new access points to Franklin Road proposed and none are approved with this application. Franklin Road is classified as a Minor Arterial roadway with 2 traffic lanes and 60 -feet of existing right-of-way (30 -feet from centerline) abutting the site. Franklin Road is identified in the District Five Year Work Program to be improved to 5 lanes with curb, gutter, sidewalk and bike lanes in the year 2010. ❖ District policy requires 96 -feet of right-of-way (48 -feet from centerline) on arterial roadways (Figure 72-F1 B). This right-of-way allows for the construction of a 5 -lane roadway with curb, gutter, 5 -foot concrete detached sidewalks and bike lanes. ❖ District policy requires 7 -foot wide attached (or 5 -foot detached) concrete sidewalk on all collector roadways and arterial roadways (7204.7.2). Applicant's Requirements: 1. Dedicate 48 -feet of right-of-way from the centerline of Franklin Road abutting the parcel by means of a warranty deed. The right-of-way purchase and sale agreement and deed must be completed and signed by the applicant prior to scheduling the final plat for signature by the ACHD Commission or prior to issuance of a building permit (or other required permits), whichever occurs first. Allow up to 30 business days to process the right-of-way dedication after receipt of all requested material. The owner will be paid the fair market value of the right-of-way dedicated which is an addition to existing ACHD right- of-way if the owner submits a letter of application to the impact fee administrator prior to breaking ground, in accordance with the ACHD Ordinance in effect at that time (currently Ordinance #200), if funds are available. 2. Construct a 5 -foot detached concrete sidewalk located a minimum of 41 -feet from the centerline of Franklin Road abutting the site. Any portion of the sidewalk that would J I meander out of the right-of-way to avoid the existing pop poles will need to be within an easement to ACHD. You will need to submit final plans to the ACHD Development Review Department prior to -receiving final approval. A traffic impact fee will be assessed by ACHD and will be due prior to the issuance of a building permit. Contact ACHD Planning & Development Services at 387-6170 for information regarding impact fees. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at 208-387-6174.

A plan which cannot be drawn in its entirety on a single sheet must be drawn with appropriate match lines on two or more sheets. Number of Copies: 3 Landscape Plan Preparation: Preparing a landscape plan requires special skills. Landscaping involves more than a simple arrangement of plants with irrigation; plants are not haphazardly placed in a way that fills up leftover space. Landscape plans should be artfully and technically organized in a way that conveys coherence, design, and organization. The landscaping should enhance the physical environment as well as the project's aesthetic character. Also, requiring plans prepared by a landscape professional minimizes the likelihood of trees dying or interfering t with other adjacent site features.

Orchard Street Boise, ID 83706-2239 Dear Mr. McCown, DEC 0 7 ENT UF ENVIRONMR ENTAL ;UALI?Y BOISE REG'Qi•sA_ O=FIGS December' 3, 2004 I was horrified when I read the article about the tr msfer station intended to be btu on Franklin Road, by Sanitary Services Company, in Meridian. I am familiar with trash transfer stations, for over`16 years I have sold heavy equipment to landfills including compactors, graders, dozers & loaders. Most recently I have been employed for 5 years selling trash transfer semi -trailers to trash hauling contractors. Before any approval is granted for the transfer station to be built in the heart of a prime hotising area of Meridian I urge that you require a first hand visit, by approving authorities, to a large transfer station. From my own experience I know that you; or they will witness air so full of flying particulates and hazardous,dust that you'll want a inspirator and goggles. You'll notice an unacceptable odor, a volume of flies equal to what you would we at a large dairy in the month of August, and truck traffic and noise requiring you to yell at each other to communicate.. The whole scene resembles a giant construction site where a large building is being demolished! The area in question is in the middle of an area where traffic is already a major issue, If a large, state of the art transfec`station is built in this spot it will be utilized by other local trash haulers for the convenience and'profitability.-The newspaper article stated 4he-cur ttrash velume-ef 57,500 terns of trash hauled by SSC for the 2004 year. At today's rate of growth the roads will become more clogged by traffic, 65,000 tons of trash equates to 2,600 semi -truck loads of compacted trash and approximately 6,000 loads entering the station from curb collectiob trucks, for a total of 17,200 vehicle passes of various trucks, on already overloaded, two lane Franklin•Road and surrounding two lane tragic arteries. (There are numerous, suitable vacant sights off four 1 tue Meridian Road,) The homeowners surrounding the immediate area will suffer catastrophic loss of property value. Quality of life within'miles will be downgraded by dust, odor, insect infestation and slow & noisy truck traffic. This plant should not be approved without an extgwive environmental impact study, it just does not make sensel I would be.pleased to offer my time to discuss this letter with anyone interested.

Orchard St Boise, ID 83706-2239 RE: Sanitary Services Co. (SSC) Plan to Build a Solid Waste Transfer Station north of its Franklin Road Location in Meridian, Idaho Dear Mr. McGown: I am writing in regards to the above referenced project proposed to be built on a fourteen (14) acre parcel owned by the Sanitary Services Co ("SSC") and located at 2130 W. Franklin Road, Meridian, Idaho. The parcel is zoned I -L under the city of Meridian Zoning Code and is an allowed use as recognized under the city of Meridian Comprehensive Plan. I am a neighboring residential property owner who lives in the k Morni% Glory Subdivision located to the immediate north of the proposed solid waste transfer facility. I wish io won record as being in favor of the proposed solid waXotransfer facility. I hope that SSC will continue to improve its recycling services that are available to the residents of Meridian. The proposed transfer facility should be customer friendly (easy ingresslegress) to those residents (like tnyselt) who choose to recycle various household items. As a growing community Meridian needs improved solid waste processing facilities and services. Ai a neighbor of the proposed transfer facility I have some specific concerns that I hope your agency, and the Central District Health Department,' will take into consideration as you move forward with the agency review process. _ 1.) Sgod impacts to surrounding residential areas. I did not see any information in the SSC Solid Waste Transfer Station Application to the DEQ about sound mitigation measures. The applicant should be required'to mitigate for noise ; impacts generated as a result of the solid waste compaction process. ' m f� 3/ 00 / •, 12/21/2004`11:33 FAX` 2083730287 DEQ BOISE REGIONAL 005 Og31 2.) ming and Screening of5olid Waste Site. The site plan indicates the presence of some trees on the east side of the subject property. The applicant should be required to screen the north side of the property parallel to the railroad tracks with fencing and screening with mature trees. The Applicant r has indicated that there will be a screen between the transfer station and the canal in'order to mitigate litter getting into the canal. The applicant should also screen the north side of the property to prevent litter from blowing into the surrounding residential neighborhood. 3.) OdM. The application states that 160 tons (320,000 lbs) of solid waste will be received at the SSC facility on a daily basis. What mitigation measures from potential odors generated from this much solid waste accumulated on a daily basis will be put into place? The applicant should be required to mitigate odors generated at the site to the maximum extent possible. 4.) Soils Analysis. Are soil conditions adequate to support the construction of a solid waste transfer facility at the proposed site location? The application did not mention adcgwg of soils. The applicant should be required to prepare a soil analysis. 5.) Tragic Analysis. The applicant should be required to have a trip generation analysis prepared by the Ada County Highway District as part of this review. I understand that DEQ and Central District Health do not regulate traffic, however, traffic impacts on Franklin Road will increase for local residential as well as commuter traffic on Franklin Road. Traffic impacts should be considered as part of the overall impacts of the proposed solid waste transfer facility. The five concerns expressed above are lenlstent with the City ofMenchan Compr9ehensive Plan, Goal IV, which states in pertinent part, L Minimize noise, actor, or pollution, and visual pollu On m irxbM"al *+as&rpme►n a4acent to reshkni al area S. Require industrud development to conform to Federal and ,State air, water, and noise pollution s7 ndards, and laical landscaping, truffic, noise, and environmental stavdwds 6.

Front St. Boise, ID. 83702 Dear Commissioners: Sanitary Services (SSC) has been considering construction of a transfer station in Meridian and we are currently in the final stages of evaluating its construction. The transfer station configuration we are considering utilizes a solid waste compactor unit. The purpose of the compactor is to maximize the density of the waste that is transferred, thereby reducing the number of truck trips to the landfill and, because Ada County charges by volume, the overall cost of disposal. One of the last items that we need to determine is how the County will assess tipping fees for the transfer trailers that come from the station. The purpose of this letter is to present our ideas on this issue and to begin work toward an understanding between SSC and Ada County regarding this issue. First, it may be helpful to describe how the transfer station will operate. Waste will be delivered to the station and dumped on the floor of the building where it will be pushed into a compaction chamber situated below the level of the tipping floor. The waste will then be compacted into a bale until it reaches the weight and length parameters set for the compactor. Once it is the proper size and weight the bale is extruded into the back of the transfer trailer. (The final configuration of the trailers has not been selected at this time but they will be between 45 and 53 feet long with walking floors and either closed top or open top with a tarp.) When the bale comes out of the compaction chamber it expands to some extent. Two bales will be pushed into the transfer trailer and then the trailer will travel to the landfill for disposal. The waste volume in each trailer should be relatively II consistent but will vary slightly due to varying compaction pressure, load moisture, and type of waste. u Since every load will vary slightly from the next we would propose to establish an average expansion factor for the loads so that when the trailer arrives at the landfill gate the driver will be able to tell the cashier the estimated volume of the waste in the trailer. To determine what an average expansion factor might be, SSC staff traveled to the Sheep Creek Transfer Station in San Bernardino County, California from February 21 — 23 to measure waste loads coming from an identical waste compactor. The Sheep Creek compactor unit recorded the total length of the bales in the compaction chamber and then the "expanded" loads were measured in the trailers. The expansion of the bales ranged from 2.5% to 16.1% with and an average expansion of 10% which is consistent with data provided by the manufacturer's representative. Given this information, we would like to establish that the loads will expand an average of 10% in the trailer. We anticipate that we will be hauling 30 to 32 ton loads to the landfill (actual amounts that can be carried , legally depend upon the size of trailers purchased) which would measure approximately 33 to 35.2 feet long in the trailer. These loads will be 60 to 65 cubic yards in size and would be charged $360 to $390 per trailer (assuming the new tipping fee of $6 per compacted cubic yard.) The density of the waste in the trailer will be consistent (approximately 800 to 1,000 lbs/cubic yard) with other waste loads being delivered to the landfill via compactor type garbage trucks. Once truck and trailer combinations are established we would fix the maximum allowable weights for the trailers and set the tipping fee based upon the average load size anticipated for the trailer. We know that having a transfer station in Meridian will benefit SSC and the City of Meridian but it provides benefits to the County as well. The transfer station will reduce traffic to the landfill. Estimated trips for SSC trucks alone will fall from an estimate of 8,000 annually to 3,500. Traffic, road damage, air pollution, and roadside litter on the route to the landfill will also be reduced. The new transfer station will allow us to offer an additional location for household hazardous waste collection and greater diversion of some waste streams thereby increasing the life of the current landfill cell. All of these benefits are consistent with the public comments received during the landfill expansion evaluation that was completed last year. With this letter we are seeking the Board's concurrence regarding this method of charging for the waste entering the landfill from our new station.
