O. Box 1029 Manteca., CA 95336 Tracy., CA 95-376 Dear Council Members: AMENDMENT TO SAN JOAQUIN COUNTY SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT PLAN As you are no doubt aware, the Solid Waste Policy Committee voted to recommend the amendment of the County's Solid Waste Management Plan by the deletion of the Plan'$ requirement that the search for a Central County landfill site be confined to an area within a ten mile radius of the Lovelace Transfer Station. That recom- mendation is found on page 10-9 of the Plan. Technically, the amendment would consist of the deletion of the fourth full para- graph under the section entitled "Recommendations for Central County." Although this proposed amendment affects only the Central County area, it would be best if all City Councils participated in the approval of this amendment. The amendment requires the approval of the County and the cities within the County having a majority of the population of the County's incorporated areas to approve, by resolution, the proposed amendment. Such approved amendment would then be sent to the State Solid Waste Management Board for that Board's approval. Upon the final approval by the State Board, the search for a new Central County landfill site can continue. �U� - 3 1981 7- 7- An orwar IS ............. 4 T�_ WWII coordination-_ inpu-t from ci 'zej r rese tatwes� .antic pa i :: o� 4 FORE.

Mr-. `Dixon explained that if it -=were-, the- intention of the Policy ttee to- - go, beyond --the, 10-s .te radius from :Lovelace Transfer station (recommended by the Solid :Management Plan) to select a mitral Landfill' site, then theo-amttee wovrl8- have to recommend -amending the Solid Waste -Management. -Plan and. in effect decide to retain a transfer station and transfer -the refuse_ to a landfill. _He _P01 out- that the combined cost af-=cyperating a transfer statfan/ 1-andfil2-as-compazed to operating sole a landfill, is about three. t - as= _v= h. Based. -on present opt the operation c 41 =-transfer station is appro _tM OW pejo year glus $400,040 for a- landfill, whereas a landfill alone would cost about `$400 8 OOLO per year. It was.moved b -Councilman Madden :_(Stockton) that the Policy Committee recommend amending. -the Solid Waste Management Plan and expand the area for location o a central landfill site beyond:t a 10- a rad -us. At.this point, Mayor Feichtmeir (Ripon), asked a -question regarding the.advantage of relocating the transfer station so that it would be. closer. to the landfill. Mr. Dixon explained that it is most economi- cal: -to locate,a transfer station close to the center of the area where the refuse is generated, and depending upon. the location of the landfill, the favorable location of the transfer station could help reduce costs. Mayor McCarty (Lodi) then seconded Councilman Madden's motion. It was approved by a unanimous vote of the Policy Committee. Pages 3'wo •71iJiq�QNGii.
