Refuse Transfer Station pursuant to Section 7281.14 of the Kern County Zoning Ordinance in an E-8, R-S (20 acre estate-suburban residential) Zone. This facility received a Conditional Use Permit as adopted by the Kern County Board of Zoning Adjustment on October 6, 1983. The project was completed in 1984. Location: Northwest corner of Cumberland Road and Lower Valley Road; Lot 6, Parcel Map 215. The project site is a 117.48-acre parcel, located within the Bear Valley Sprirlgs development, west of Tehachapi. The site is located within the Bear Valley Springs Specific Plan area, and currently developed with a community service center. Purpose: The expansion and improvement of the existing solid waste transfer station was necessary to meet the increasing demand for refuse disposal generated by the surrounding residences. Design and Operation: The project site is owned by the Bear Valley Springs Community Services District (BVS¢SD) which is responsible for constructing and maintaining the areas of sewer, water, road, drainage, and recreational facilities. The original above-ground solid waste transfer station was removed and replaced by a new, more efficient solid waste transfer station, developed 5 feet below natural grade. The facility contains three 8 foot by 22 foot solid waste roll-off containers, placed 5 feet below grade. This location is necessary to facilitate the unloading of solid waste into roll-off containers and then transferring these containers, by truck, to a sanitary landfill for burial. The facility has been developed with two 20 foot by 50 foot concrete ramps for convenient unloading and A.C. paving for all drive through areas on the site. The entire facility has been fenced and landscaped along Lower Valley Road so the facility and operation of the transfer station will not be offensive to surrounding residential developments. CEQA Compliance:- Under Section 15061(b)(3), General Rule, of the State CEQA Guidelines, it has been determined that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment and, therefore, is not covered by the requirements set forth in the California Environmental Quality Act and the State CEQA Guidelines concerning evaluation of projects and the preparation and review of environmental documents. A notice of exemption was filed with the County Clerk on October 6, 1983. Economic Considerations: Cost of the project is absorbed by the Bear Valley Springs Community Services District who receives annual funding from the Special Districts Augmentation Fund. There should be no significant economic impact on the County of Kern or the City of Tehachapi. ' DAILY4 GI3P~ 4B {VI6P~ 164.

Address: Route 2, Box 591 Bakersfield, CA 93307 Phone: (805) 397-7195 Project: Establishment of a composting facility for the manufacturing of organic fertilizer for organic uses. The project site consists of approximately 80 acres, located approximately 2-½ miles east of State Highway 99. The site is zoned A (Exclusive Agriculture) and is within the boundaries of Ag Preserve 13, but is not under Williamson Act Land Use Contract. The site was the subject of a General Plan Amendment, approved September 9, 1985, which changed the designation from 8.1 (Intensive Agriculture) to 3.4 (Solid Waste Facilities). Conditional Use Permit #16, Map #143 for the proposed facility was granted by the Kern County Board of Zoning Adjustment on September 12, 1985. Currently there are two residences on the west end of the site, the central portion is vacant, and a wholesale compost sales lot occupies the east end. The General Plan designation, zoning and land use for surrounding properties are as follows: North - 8.1 (Intensive Agriculture), A(Exclusive Agriculture), row crops, and dairy. South - 1.2 (Incorporated Cities), City of Bakersfield, wastewater disposal, and septage disposal area. East - 8.1 (Intensive Agriculture), A(Exclusive Agriculture), fallow land, and dairy. West - 8.1 (Intensive AgriCulture), A(Exclusive Agriculture), and row crops. The Kern Island Canal is situated on the west side of Adobe Road. There are a small number of widely scattered residences. The nearest off-site residences are two houses located 1/2 mile north of the project site and one house located 1/2 mile east of the project. All three residences are situated at dairies. The City of Bakersfield owns several sections of land in the area which are used for disposal of treated waste water in restricted farming operations, under permit from the State Regional Water Quality Control Board. In addition, the City owns a section of land to the south which is used for land spreading of domestic septic tank wastes under permit from Kern County Health Department. Location: Northeast corner of Adobe Road and Bear Mountain Boulevard, Southwest of Bakersfield. Purpose: Applicant proposes to use facility for the purpose of composting dewatered sewer sludge and biomass (i.e. cotton gin trash, rice hulls, sawdust, steer and dairy manure) and producing a product (compost) to be used by agriculture industry. Design & Operation: When in full operation, the project would receive 190,000 tons of raw materials each year. The applicant estimates that there would be 35-39 truck loads per day: 28-32 loads of sludge and 7 loads of biomass. State Route 99, Wheeler Ridge Road (State Route 184), and Bear Mountain Boulevard would be the main truck routes. Bear Mountain Boulevard is designated a major highway alignments on the Circulation Element of the Kern County General Plan. See attached map. The sludge would be collected from sources in southern California and trucked to the site for conversion to compost. The sludge and biomass would be deposited in windrows and turned regularly to maintain an aerobic progress and facilitate decomposition. The resulting product (compost) would be sold to local farmers as fertilizer. The fertilizer is not suitable for use on root crops or crops to be fed to cattle. The applicant proposes to spray the site with water to aid composting and reduce dust. Runoff would be contained in a sump on the west side of the site and recycled for dust control. An earthern berm around the project perimeter is proposed to protect the site from flooding. The hours of operation are proposed to be 6 a.m. to 6 p.m., Monday through Saturday. CEQA Compliance: A negative declaration has been prepared for this project and was approved by the Kern County Board of Supervisors on September 9, 1985. The negative declaration, which contains more detailed site information, can be obtained upon request from the Kern County Public Works Department. Economic Considerations: The processing of agricultural wastes generated within Kern County resulting in usable products reduces the quantity of waste being received at various County Landfills and thus increases their life expectancy while reducing the cost of solid waste disposal for the residents of Kern County. There are no known extra costs to the County of Kern or the City of Bakersfield.
