SITE CHARACTERISTICS: Surrounding properties are developed as: north – commercial (auto repair), east – commercial (medical center); south – 58 Highway; and west – commercial (recycling center), and church. ~ BAKERSFIELD TI-E SOOIO OF~ &I,, 2 CUP 24-0107 BACKGROUND AND TIMELINE: • March 21, 2018 - City Council referred the issue of recycling centers to staff. Specifically, it concerns the impacts (aesthetics, noise, smell, rodents, crime, and empty shopping carts) that recycling centers were having on adjacent neighborhoods. • September 20, 2018 - The Planning Commission reviewed proposed amendments to the municipal code that included requiring a conditional use permit (CUP) for all California Redemption Value (CRV) recycling centers in commercial zones and ministerially permitting recycling centers in industrial zones AND if located within a California-recognized convenience zone. Recycling centers located outside a convenience zone were not permitted. A motion was made to approve the proposed amendments and recommended the same to City Council. • October 17, 2018 - City Council was presented first reading on CRV recycling centers. Following Council discussion, a motion was made to require a CUP for CRV recycling centers in all commercial zones and all industrial zones except the M-3 (Heavy Industrial Zone), where the CRV centers would not be a permitted or conditionally permitted use. • November 1, 2018 - Planning Commission considered the October 2018 changes and approved the proposed amendments and recommended the same to City Council. • November 7, 2018 - The City Council's adoption of ordinances amending the municipal code to require a CUP for CRV recycling centers in all commercial zones and all industrial zones except the M-3 zone where the CRV centers would not be permitted or a conditionally permitted use. As noted above, this was only for recycling centers located within a California-recognized convenience zone. Recycling centers located outside a convenience zone were not permitted. • December 2, 2021 – This site was subject to Conditional Use Permit No. 21-0323 to allow a recycling center outside the State-recognized convenience zone for purchasing of California Redemption Value (CRV) containers from the public. Because the location was outside a convenience zone and not allowed in the municipal code, the Planning Commission unanimously denied the request because it was determined the proposed use would not be essential and desirable to the public convenience and welfare and not in harmony with the various elements and objectives of the Metropolitan Bakersfield General Plan (Resolution 65-21). • January 1, 2023 - A significant change occurred with the passing of Senate Bill 1013, which led to a revision in the definition of a "convenience zone" as outlined in the PRC Section 14526.5. Previously, a convenience zone was defined as the area within a half-mile radius of a supermarket. However, with the enactment of Senate Bill 1013, this definition has been updated to extend the boundaries of the convenience zone, effectively doubling its radius to one mile. This expansion is a significant change, as it broadens the geographical area within which the CRV program requires the establishment of recycling centers or in-store redemption services, ensuring that consumers have greater access to convenient recycling options within the vicinity of supermarkets. This legislative update represents an effort to enhance and facilitate recycling opportunities for consumers and promote environmental sustainability by making recycling facilities more accessible and convenient. 3 CUP 24-0107 BACKGROUND – CALIFORNIA RECYCLING: Who has oversight of California recycling operations? The California Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery (CalRecyle) is a branch of the California Environmental Protection Agency that oversees the state's waste management, recycling, and waste reduction programs. CalRecycle was established in 2010 with a mission to protect California’s environment and climate for the health and prosperity of future generations through the reduction, reuse and recycling of California resources, environmental education, disaster recovery and the transition from a disposable to a fully circular economy. What is a certified recycling center? A Recycling Center is an operation certified by CalRecyle and must accept all CRV containers from consumers including aluminum, glass, plastic, bimetal, and beverage containers that are boxes, bladders or pouches containing wine, distilled spirits, wine coolers, or distilled spirit coolers. Additionally, a recycling center must “map” the correct CRV refund for each container type: 5 cents for containers less than 24 ounces; 10 cents for containers 24 ounces or larger; and 25 cents for boxes, bladders or pouches containing wine, distilled spirits, wine coolers, or distilled spirit coolers. According to the CalRecycle website, there are currently 1,284 recycling centers statewide that buy back empty CRV beverage containers. What is a convenience zone? Convenience zones provide more local places where Californians can redeem beverage containers. A convenience zone is typically a one-mile radius circle with the center point originating at a supermarket that meets the following definitions: • Supermarket is identified in the Progressive Grocer Marketing Guidebook. • Supermarket gross annual sales are $2 million or more. • Supermarket is considered a “full line” store that sells a line of dry groceries, canned goods, or non- food items and perishable items. By law, there must be at least one certified recycling center that can redeem all CRV containers in a convenience zone’s radius unless other conditions are met. One recycling center in a convenience zone means it is a “served” zone. What are handling fees? Handling fees are monthly payments made by CalRecycle to recycling centers that meet certain eligibility requirements. A recycler may be eligible for handling fees if they meet the conditions of the law that include: • The recycler is certified and redeems all CRV container types. • The recycler is the only recycler in a convenience zone. • If a recycler is a for-profit business in an urban area, the recycling center must be on-site or next to a beverage dealer. What is the purpose of handling fees? CalRecycle makes handling fee payments to recyclers to provide incentives for the convenient redemption of empty beverage containers. These payments encourage increased redemptions and reward operational efficiency at supermarket site recycling centers, nonprofit convenience zone recycling centers, and rural region recycling centers operating within convenience zones. Effective July 1, 2024, CalRecycle calculated the monthly handling fee at the rate of $0.01158 per beverage container redeemed, or approximately $1.00 for every 86 containers. With the passage of SB 156, this fee was revised from the previous $0.00607 per beverage container redeemed. 4 CUP 24-0107 Can multiple overlapping convenience zones be served by a single recycling center? Yes. Overlapping convenience zones are common in urban areas. If a recycling center is located in a convenience zone, where one or more convenience zones overlap, each of these zones is served by this recycling center. Can CalRecycle make handling fee payments to more than one operational recycling center in a zone? No. If there is more than one recycler in a convenience zone, neither recycler is eligible to receive handling fees PROJECT ANALYSIS: Proposed Development. The applicant is seeking a conditional use permit to enable the operation of a recycling center within a convenience zone situated in the C-2 (Regional Commercial) zone. The recycling center will occupy approximately 37,500 square feet of space within a larger 1.48-acre parcel, which will be enclosed by an 8-foot-high screened chain-link fence for security and containment purposes. Project Operations. The operational setup of the recycling center will include the following components: • Storage Containers - The operation will utilize six metal storage containers, each measuring 8 feet in height x 8 feet in width x 22 feet in length. It is noteworthy that no active operational activities such as sorting or payment processing will occur inside these storage containers. • Canopy - A single shade canopy measuring 10 feet in height x 15 feet in width x 22 feet in length is proposed. The canopy may serve various purposes, such as providing shelter or shade for certain aspects of the recycling process or equipment. • Operating Hours - The recycling center will be staffed by eight employees, and operations are scheduled to take place from Monday – Friday 8:30 am to 4:00 pm, and on Saturday 8:30 am – 3:00 pm, and closed on Sundays. • Parking - As proposed, a total of 42 off-street parking spaces are being provided. Specifically, this includes one parking space per employee (8 spaces) with the remainder being provided for customers of the recycling center. As part of the application process, staff requested several analyses/studies to ensure the proposed operation would not conflict with surrounding land uses. Those include acoustics, circulation, and odor. Based on staff’s review, there appears to be no negative impact. Existing Convenience Zone and Recycling Centers. According to CalRecycle, there are 49 supermarkets that qualify as a convenience zone within the City of Bakersfield. Of those supermarket convenience zones, 41 are served, 4 are unserved, and 4 are exempt. CalRecycle also identified 41 recycling centers located within the City of Bakersfield. In reviewing this list, it is relevant to note that some recycling centers serve multiple Convenience Zones. Additionally, the list also contains recycling centers that may be operating without the necessary City approval. The proposed recycling center is in a convenience zone established by an Albertsons located at 1520 Brundage Lane. According to CalRecycle, this zone is already served by the following recycling center: • Stop N Recycle is located at 349 Union Avenue. This recycling center was approved by the City 5 CUP 24-0107 through Site Plan Review No. 18-0422, prior to the requirement for obtaining a conditional use permit. It is located less than 1 mile from the Albertsons. It is relevant to note that the proposed recycling operation is located less than ¾ mile from the Albertsons and ½ mile from the Stop N Recycle. Zoning. The proposed project site is located on a single parcel within the C-2 (Regional Commercial) zone district. Pursuant to Bakersfield Municipal Code Section 17.24.040.18, recycling centers, within a convenience zone, are allowed only upon the approval of a Conditional Use Permit (CUP). As noted in the timeline, a conditional use permit for a recycling operation was denied at this site in 2021. At that time, the site was outside a convenience zone. With the passage of Senate Bill 1013 in 2013, this site is now within a convenience zone making a conditional use permit an option. Conditional Use Permit. Conditional Use Permits (CUP) are required for land uses that may be compatible with the zoning district but may also have specific operational or community impact considerations. A CUP allows the local zoning authority to assess and approve such uses on a case-by-case basis with conditions or restrictions to reduce potential issues and ensure compliance with local regulations. A list of recommended conditions is attached to the draft resolution as Exhibit A. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW AND DETERMINATION: This project has been found to be exempt from the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the City of Bakersfield’s CEQA Implementation Procedures in accordance with Section 15303 (New Construction or Conversion of Small Structures). This exemption includes projects that consist of construction and location of limited numbers of new, small facilities or structures; installation of small new equipment and facilities in small structures; and the conversion of existing small structures from one use to another where only minor modifications are made in the exterior of the structure. The numbers of structures described in this section are the maximum allowable on any legal parcel. Examples of this exemption include but are not limited to accessory (appurtenant) structures including garages, carports, patios, and fences. A Notice of Exemption has been prepared. PUBLIC NOTIFICATION: Public notice for the proposed project and environmental determination was advertised in The Bakersfield Californian and posted on the bulletin board in the City of Bakersfield Development Services Building, 1715 Chester Avenue, Bakersfield, California. All property owners within 300 feet of the project site were notified by United States Postal Service mail regarding this public hearing in accordance with city ordinance and state law. Signs are required as part of the public notification process and must be posted between 20 to 60 days before the public hearing date. Photographs of the posted signage and the Declaration of Posting Public Hearing Notice signed by the applicant are on file at the Planning Division. Comments Received. As of this writing, no written public comments have been received. CONCLUSIONS: Findings. Bakersfield Municipal Code (B.M.C.) Section 17.64.060.D contains specific findings that must be made for your Commission to approve the requested conditional use permit. Specifically, the section states that a conditional use permit shall be granted only when it is found that: 6 CUP 24-0107 1. The proposed use is deemed essential or desirable to the public convenience or welfare; and 2. The proposed use is in harmony with the key elements and objectives of the general plan and applicable specific plans. B.M.C. Section 17.64.060.E also states that a conditional use permit may be subject to conditions as deemed appropriate or necessary to assure compliance with the intent and purpose of the zoning regulations and the various elements and objectives of the general plan and applicable specific plans and policies of the city or to protect the public health, safety, convenience, or welfare. Staff Conclusion. Based on these required findings and subject to appropriate conditions, staff has concluded that: • Public Convenience: The project is determined to provide a public convenience by offering services that contribute to waste reduction and promote the proper disposal of recyclable items for local residents. This aligns with a broader goal of environmental sustainability and the responsible management of resources, which serves the public welfare. • Enhancement and Contribution: The project is expected to have a positive impact on the site area, enhancing it by providing a valuable and desirable service to the community. This contribution is in line with the objectives of the general plan and promotes the well-being of the local community. • Consistency with Intent: The project is deemed consistent with the intent of both the Metropolitan Bakersfield General Plan and the Bakersfield Municipal Code. This alignment demonstrates that the project is in harmony with the broader vision for development in the area and supports the overarching goals of city planning and zoning regulations. Compliance with the recommended conditions will ensure that the project complies with zoning regulations and serves the best interests of the city and its residents while safeguarding public welfare and the environment. Staff Recommendation. Based on the above assessment, staff finds that the applicable provisions of CEQA have been complied with, and the proposal sufficiently demonstrates compliance with the necessary findings. Therefore, staff recommends your Commission adopt Resolution and suggested findings approving Conditional Use Permit No. 24-0107 with the recommended conditions of approval.

The applicant estimates the facility would serve approximately 80 customer visits per day and would utilize approximately eight (8) full time employees. No walk‐in customers or customers with shopping carts will be permitted, all customers must access the site in a vehicle. According to the project applicant there would be no processing or bailing of recyclables on site. All received recycling would be transported to a different facility for final sorting and bailing. The applicant estimates approximately two (2) commercial vehicles per day to transport received recyclables to off‐site locations. This report is based upon the project site plan prepared by Skarphol Frank Associates (dated 01‐ 24‐24), operations data provided by the applicant, as well as reference and on‐site ambient noise measurements obtained by WJV Acoustics, Inc. (WJVA). Revisions to the site plan, operations data, or other project‐related information available to WJVA at the time the analysis was prepared may require a reevaluation of the findings and/or recommendations of the report. The Project Site Plan is provided as Figure 1. Appendix A provides a description of the acoustical terminology used in this report.  Unless otherwise stated, all sound levels reported are in A‐weighted decibels (dB). A‐weighting de‐emphasizes the very low and very high frequencies of sound in a manner similar to the human ear. Most community noise standards utilize A‐weighting, as it provides a high degree of correlation with human annoyance and health effects. Appendix B provides typical A‐weighted sound levels for common noise sources. 24‐33 (Brundage Lane EZ Recycling, Bakersfield) 6‐25‐24 3 NOISE EXPOSURE CRITERIA The applicable standards for noise levels that apply to this project are contained within Chapter VII of the Metropolitan Bakersfield General Plan adopted in 2002. No federal or state noise standards are applicable to this project. The  Metropolitan  Bakersfield  General  Plan  establishes  noise  level  criteria  in  terms  of the Community Noise Equivalent Level (CNEL) metric.  The CNEL is the time‐weighted energy average noise level for a 24‐hour day, with a 4.77 dB penalty added to noise levels occurring during the evening hours (7:00 p.m.‐10:00 p.m.) and a 10 dB penalty added to noise levels occurring during the nighttime hours (10:00 p.m.‐7:00 a.m.). The CNEL represents cumulative exposure to noise over  an  extended  period  of time  and  is  therefore  calculated  based  upon annual average conditions. The Noise Element establishes a land use compatibility criterion of 65 dB CNEL for exterior noise levels in outdoor activity areas of new residential developments.  The intent of the exterior noise level requirement is to provide an acceptable noise environment for outdoor activities and recreation. The Noise Element also requires that interior noise levels attributable to exterior noise sources not exceed 45 dB CNEL.  The intent of the interior noise level standard is to provide an acceptable noise environment for indoor communication and sleep. The General Plan Noise Element considers the following as noise‐sensitive land uses: Residential areas Schools Convalescent and acute care hospitals Parks and recreation areas For non‐transportation noise sources (e.g., commercial/industrial activities), the noise element applies hourly exterior noise level performance standards at the location of residential or other noise‐sensitive land uses. The standards address the statistical distribution of noise over time, allow for progressively shorter periods of exposure to levels of increasing loudness and are 5 dB more restrictive during the nighttime hours of 10:00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m.  It should be noted, vehicle movements off public roadways and on private property are considered non‐transportation noise sources. It should be noted, truck and vehicle movements occurring off public roadways are considered stationary noise sources. • • • • 24‐33 (Brundage Lane EZ Recycling, Bakersfield) 6‐25‐24 4 Table I summarizes the exterior noise level standards of the noise element for non‐transportation (stationary) sources.   TABLE I HOURLY NOISE LEVEL PERFORMANCE STANDARDS METROPOLITAN BAKERSFIELD GENERAL PLAN Category Cumulative # Min/Hr. (Ln) Daytime (7 am‐10 pm) Nighttime (10 pm‐7 am) 1 30 (L50)55 50 2 15 (L25)60 55 3  5 (L8.3)65 60 4  1 (L1.7)70 65 5  0 (Lmax)75 70 Source: Metropolitan Bakersfield General Plan I I I 24‐33 (Brundage Lane EZ Recycling, Bakersfield) 6‐25‐24 5 EXISTING NOISE ENVIRONMENT The project site is located at 305 Brundage Lane, in Bakersfield, California. The site is generally bound by Brundage Lane and commercial land uses to the north, a community health center to the east, California State Route 58 (SR 58) to the south, and a liquor store and a church to the west. Existing sources of noise in the project vicinity are dominated by vehicle traffic along SR 58 and (to a lesser extent) Brundage Lane. Additional sources of noise observed during the project site visit inlcude noise associated with nearby commercial land uses and occasional aircraft overflights. WJVA conducted short‐term ambient noise levels at the project site on June 19, 2024, to document existing ambient noise levels in the vicinity of the project site. Ambient noise levels were measured during three (3) individual times during the proposed hours of operation of the recycling facility to document existing morning, midday, and afternoon ambient noise levels. The location of the ambient noise measurement site is provided as Figure 2. A photograph of the ambient noise measurement site is provided as Figure 3. Noise monitoring equipment consisted of a Larson‐Davis Laboratories Model LDL‐820 sound level analyzer equipped with a B&K Type 4176 1/2” microphones. The equipment complies with the specifications of the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) for Type I (Precision) sound level meters. The meter was calibrated with a B&K Type 4230 acoustic calibrator to ensure the accuracy of the measurements.

REFERENCE NOISE LEVEL MEASUREMENTS‐ EZ Recycling currently operates an existing recycling facility in Delano, California. The Delano facility is located at 1638 Glenwood Street. The Delano facility includes similar operations as that being proposed at the Brundage Lane Bakersfield location. However, the Delano facility also includes processing and bailing operations, where a large bailing machine compacts and bails plastics and aluminum materials. As such, the Delano facility produces higher levels of noise than what would be expected at the Brundage Lane Bakersfield location. However, reference noise level measurements were conducted at the Delano facility to provide a worst‐case assessment of project‐related noise levels at the Brundage Lane Bakersfield location. Patrons were observed arriving at the recycling facility in their vehicles and unloading recyclables into trash‐can sized bins for weighing. Patrons then bring the bins to the area indicated as “Recycling Activities” on Figure 4. The bins were then weighed, and patrons were paid out based upon the weight and value of the recyclables. Noise at the site included vehicle movements in the parking lot, noise associated with bottles and cans being transferred into bins, and noise associated with the bailing equipment. As described above, the Brundage Lane Bakersfield location would not include any bailing equipment. As such, reference noise levels applied to the project should be considered a worst‐case assessment of project‐related noise levels as they include sources that would not be included at the Brundage Lane Bakersfield location. Additionally, noise levels measured at the Delano facility include all noise sources, including those from the facility, as well as off‐site vehicle traffic, noise associated with nearby commercial and retail activities as well as occasional aircraft overflights. Reference noise level measurements were conducted by WJVA at the Delano EZ Recycling facility on June 19, 2024. Noise levels were measured continuously over a 3‐hour period, between approximately 9:00 a.m. and noon, while the facility was fully operational. Noise measurement equipment was the same as described above. The location of the reference noise measurement site (as well as the recycling area and bailing equipment) is provided as Figure 4. A photograph of the reference noise measurement site is provided as Figure 5. 24‐33 (Brundage Lane EZ Recycling, Bakersfield) 6‐25‐24 8 TABLE III SUMMARY OF REFERENCE NOISE MEASUREMENT DATA EZ RECYCLING FACILITY, DELANO JUNE 19, 2024 Time A‐Weighted Decibels, dBA Lmax L2 L8 L25 L50 9:00 a.m.72.1 64.0 60.8 56.7 54.0 10:00 a.m.79.2 63.2 59.5 56.3 53.5 11:00 a.m.69.0 65.3 62.2 57.0 54.5 Average 76 64 61 57 54 Source: WJV Acoustics, Inc. Noise levels described in Table III represent those measured at a distance of approximately ninety (90) feet from the center of the recycling activities. As described above, The City of Bakersfield considers noise‐sensitive land uses to be residential areas, school, convalescent and acute care hospitals, and parks and recreation areas. No such noise‐sensitive land uses are located adjacent to or near the project site. The closest of such land uses would residential land uses, located approximately 500 feet north of the proposed recycling area, along 1st Street as well as approximately 500 feet west, along Fig Street. However, for the purpose of this analysis project‐related noise levels were calculated (based upon the above‐ described reference noise level measurements) at the health center to the east and the church to the west. As described above, the reference noise levels measured at the Delano facility were measured at a setback distance of approximately 90 feet from the recycling activities area. At the proposed Brundage Lane Bakersfield site, the recycling activities area would be located approximately 175 feet from the health center and approximately 330 feet from the church (as measured to the center point of each facility). Taking into account the standard rate of attenuation of noise with increased distance from a source (‐6 dB/doubling of distance), WJVA calculated project related noise levels at the health care center to the east and the church to the west. Table IV provides these project‐related noise levels. It should be noted, noise levels described in Table IV do not take into account acoustic shielding provided by the existing 8‐foot CMU wall that is in place along the project site boundary with the health care facility to the east, and should therefore be considered a worst‐case assessment of project‐related noise levels.

Additionally, project‐related noise levels would not exceed existing ambient noise levels measured in the project vicinity, as provided in Table II. Therefore, it can be determined that the proposed recycling facility project will comply with all City of Bakersfield noise level standards and noise compatibility criteria without the need for mitigation measures. 24‐33 (Brundage Lane EZ Recycling, Bakersfield) 6‐25‐24 10 CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS The proposed EZ Recycling facility project, to be located at 305 Brundage Lane in Bakersfield, California, would comply with all City of Bakersfield noise level standards and noise compatibility criteria. Additionally, project‐related noise levels would not exceed existing (without project) ambient noise levels measured in the project vicinity. As such, mitigation measures are not required for project noise compliance. The foregoing conclusions and recommendations are based upon the best information known to WJV Acoustics, Inc. (WJVA) at the time the study was prepared concerning the proposed site plan and proposed operational activities. Any significant changes to the information used for this analysis will require a reevaluation of the findings of this report. Additionally, any significant future  changes  in  noise  regulations  or  other  factors  beyond  WJVA’s control may result in long‐term noise results different from those described by this analysis.               Respectfully submitted,                 Walter J. Van Groningen               President WJV:wjv 24‐33 (Brundage Lane EZ Recycling, Bakersfield) 6‐25‐24 11 FIGURE 1: SITE PLAN tJ,,, SITE PLAN PROJECT AN,UYSIS, -~-f/UOOl,l{J llE~£N1' ;,,.\.,; ,.'"'A-~:.."':=:..= ... •-=·"l:,'l'i ~=~~•!'f':· =~~=~~,t--O>lZH SfTfUYNOTa 0 -.... 0 -... ·~·--··-•-· Q o, __ ..

CNEL:Community  Noise  Equivalent  Level.    The  average  equivalent sound level during a 24‐hour day, obtained after addition of approximately five decibels to sound levels in the evening from 7:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. and ten decibels to sound levels in the night before 7:00 a.m. and after 10:00 p.m. DECIBEL, dB:A unit for describing the amplitude of sound, equal to 20 times the logarithm to the base 10 of the ratio of the pressure of the sound measured to the reference pressure, which is 20 micropascals (20 micronewtons per square meter). DNL/Ldn:Day/Night Average Sound Level.  The average equivalent sound level during a 24‐hour day, obtained after addition of ten decibels to sound levels in the night after 10:00 p.m. and before 7:00 a.m. Leq:Equivalent Sound Level.  The sound level containing the same total energy as a time varying signal over a given sample period. Leq is typically computed over 1, 8 and 24‐hour sample periods. NOTE: The CNEL and DNL represent daily levels of noise exposure averaged on an annual basis, while Leq represents the average noise exposure for a shorter time period, typically one hour. Lmax: The maximum noise level recorded during a noise event. Ln: The sound level exceeded "n" percent of the time during a sample interval (L90, L50, L10, etc.).  For example, L10  equals  the  level exceeded 10 percent of the time. 24‐33 (Brundage Lane EZ Recycling, Bakersfield) 6‐25‐24 A-2 ACOUSTICAL TERMINOLOGY NOISE EXPOSURE CONTOURS: Lines drawn about a noise source indicating constant levels of noise exposure.  CNEL and DNL contours are frequently utilized to describe community exposure to noise. NOISE LEVEL REDUCTION (NLR):The noise reduction between indoor and outdoor environments or  between  two  rooms  that  is  the  numerical  difference,  in decibels, of the average sound pressure levels in those areas or rooms.  A measurement of “noise level reduction” combines the effect of the transmission loss performance of the structure plus the effect of acoustic absorption present in the receiving room. SEL or SENEL: Sound Exposure Level or Single Event Noise Exposure Level.  The level of noise accumulated during a single noise event, such as an aircraft overflight, with reference to a duration of one second. More specifically, it is the time‐integrated A‐weighted squared sound pressure for a stated time interval or event, based on a reference pressure of 20 micropascals and a reference duration of one second. SOUND LEVEL: The sound pressure level in decibels as measured on a sound level meter using the A‐weighting filter network.  The A‐weighting filter de‐emphasizes the very low and very high frequency components of the sound in a manner similar to the response of the human ear and gives good correlation with subjective reactions to noise. SOUND TRANSMISSION CLASS (STC): The single‐number rating of sound transmission loss for a construction element (window, door, etc.) over a frequency range where speech intelligibility largely occurs.

EZ Recycling Project – Odor Analysis April 2024 Page 1-1 SECTION 1 - INTRODUCTION QK, Inc. has completed an Odor Analysis (OA) for the EZ Recycling Project (Project). The Project site is located at 305 Brundage Lane in Bakersfield, CA, 0.15 miles west of the intersection of Union Ave and Brundage Lane on APN 011-020-18. The Project site is bounded by Brundage Lane to the north and State Highway 58 to the south. The proposed recycling collection center anticipates 80 customers per day and will include 8 full-time employees. The center will only service drive in customers; walkup and shopping cart customers will not be allowed. The facility will operate two forklifts and one roll-off truck for transport of materials. There will be two material transportation trucks per day from the site. The collection center will accept California Redemption Value (CRV) materials only such as aluminum, plastic and glass. All material will be stored in roll-off containers before being transferred off-site. The purpose of the OA is to conduct an on-site assessment to identify any potential sources of odor from the recycling collection center. If odorous sources are present, an AERMOD atmospheric dispersion model will be used to predict odor concentrations at locations surrounding the Project area. Odor concentrations are expressed in units of dilutions-to- threshold (D/T) which represent the number of dilutions required so that a volume of odorous air would no longer be detected by 50% of the population. Odors would typically become a public nuisance at or above 7 D/T (IWMB 2007). The San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District (SJVAPCD) does not have a nuisance regulation based upon objective odor concentration. In the SJVAPCD a nuisance is determined subjectively, therefore, to assess the potential for significant odor impacts from the Project, the Bay Area Air Quality Management District’s (BAAQMD) Regulation 7 odor nuisance standard of 4 D/T was used for comparison since it is one of the most restrictive odor regulations in the country that is based on a concentration limit (BAAQMD 1982).

Further discussion regarding the above-identified source is provided in the following sections. 2.1 - Odor Emission Rates Odor emission rates for the odor sources identified must be quantified to conduct a qualitative odor analysis. Odor emission rates are calculated by multiplying each source’s odor concentration times its volumetric flow rate. However, CRV collection centers are not a known source of odors. The only potential odor source comes from food residues and liquids left in recyclables collected at the facility which could potentially lead to odors from the decomposing of organic waste residue, bacteria and mold. The amount of food residues and liquids left in recyclables are trace amounts which lead to potential negligible amounts of odors volatile organic compounds (VOCs) that have the potential to emit odors. The current Project would not produce odor emission rates at levels able to be analyzed in a qualitative odor analysis based on the negligible amount of odor causing VOCs and the procedures of the facility to have not store any recyclables on-site for an extended period of time. Therefore, the Project’s potential odor source is considered to have a 0 D/T odor emission rate. 2.2 - Odor Dispersion Modeling A qualitative odor analysis would use AERMOD to simulate the atmospheric dispersion of potential odor emissions from the proposed Project site. AERMOD can model impacts from multiple sources at multiple receptors using local meteorological data. AERMOD is considered the United States Environmental Protection Agency’s preferred regulatory model for both simple and complex terrain. Data inputs for an odor analysis using AERMOD include: • Source locations and physical dimensions; • Odor emissions rates; • Metrological data; • Terrain data; • Receptor locations; and • Modeling options. However, since the Project will not emit above a negligible about of odorous emissions a dispersion analysis of the potential odor source is not required. EZ Recycling Project – Air Quality Impact Analysis April 2024 Page 2-2 2.3 - Significant Risk Threshold The SJVPCD has local jurisdiction over air quality issues in the region where the Project will operate. The SJVAPCD has adopted Rule 4102 Nuisance (SJVAPCD 1992) which sates: “A person shall not discharge from any source whatsoever such qualities of air contaminants or other materials which cause injury, detriment, nuisance or annoyance to any considerable number of persons or to the public or which endanger the comfort, repose, health or safety of any such person or the public or which cause of have a natural tendency to cause injury or damage to business or property.” Since SJVPACD Rule 4201 does not provide a numeric D/T threshold, the BAAQMD’s Regulation 7 odor nuisance standard of 4 D/T was used as the threshold for significant odors since it is one of the most restrictive odor regulations in the country. Additionally, SJVAPCD’s Guide for Assessing Mitigating Air Quality Impacts (GAMAQI) states “An analysis of potential odor impacts should be conducted for both of the following two situations: 1. Generators – projects that would potentially generate odorous emissions proposed to locate near existing sensitive receptors or other land uses where people may congregate, and 2.Receivers – residential or other sensitive receptor projects or other projects built for the intent of attracting people locating near existing odor sources.” (SJVAPCD 2015). The GAMAQI also states, “The District has identified some common types of facilities that have been known to produce odors in the San Joaquin Valley Air Basin. These are presented in Table 6 (Screening Levels for Potential Odor Sources), along with a reasonable distance from the source within which, the degree of odors could possibly be significant. [Table 6] can be used as a screening tool to qualitatively assess a project’s potential to adversely affect area receptors.” (SJVAPCD, 2015). EZ Recycling Project – Air Quality Impact Analysis April 2024 Page 3-1 SECTION 3 - RESULTS The current Project would not produce odor emission rates at levels able to be analyzed in a qualitative odor analysis based on the negligible amount of odor causing VOCs and the procedures of the facility to have not store any recyclables on-site for an extended period of time. Therefore, the Project’s potential odor source is considered to have a 0 D/T odor emission rate. The Project’s D/T odor impact was compared to the BAAQMD’s odor nuisance threshold of 4 D/T. Since the Project will have a 0 D/T it will be below the 4 D/T odor nuisance threshold. No further modeling or analysis would be required unless the operational process was changed from its current intended use. Additionally, the Project is a CVR collection facility and the anticipated activities for the Project site are not listed in Table 6 of the GAMAQI as a source that would create objectionable odors, the Project is not expected to be a source of objectionable odors. Based on the provisions of the SJVAPCD’s GAMAQI, the proposed Project would not exceed any screening trigger levels to be considered a source of objectionable odors or odorous compounds (SJVAPCD, 2015). Furthermore, there does not appear to be any significant source of objectionable odors in close proximity that may adversely impact the Project site when it is in operation. Additionally, the Project emissions estimates indicate that it would not be expected to adversely impact surrounding receptors. As such, the proposed Project would not be a source of any odorous compounds nor would it likely be impacted by any odorous source.
