Amendment #3 to the Kern County Solid Waste Management Plan
1983 Revision
Applicant: Bear Valley Springs Community Services District
Address:
Star Route 3, Box 4800
Tehachapi, CA 93561
Phone: (805) 821-4428
Project:
Expansion of the existing Bear Valley C.S.D. 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. '

Amendment #4 to the Kern County Solid Waste Management Plan
1983 Revision
Applicant: Southland Recycling, Inc.
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.

The project is a low volume transfer station, consisting of three
(3) 8' x 8' x 24' bins for the purpose of solid waste disposal
(refuse). A compactor sits on a concrete slab. The area is
surrounded by a six foot high chainlink fence and is lockable. A
24 foot paved road provides access to the transfer station.
The transfer station is located at the end of Aleutian Drive,
North of Mill Potrero Highway, Section 19, Township 9N.,
Range 21W., S.B.B.M.
To dispose of refuse and shrubbery and inert solid waste generated
by the residents of the Pine Mountain Club (a residential area).
Residents regularly dump their refuse etc. into the rolloff units
and these in turn are hauled weekly to the Lebec Landfill for
disposal. A daily average of 4.25 tons is generated. No
commercial dumping is allowed.
Applicant has requested a Conditional Use Permit through the
Planning and Development Services Department. A Negative
Declaration is being processed as a part of that request.
Cost of the project is absorbed by the Pine Mountain Club
Homeowners Association. There is no significant economic impact
on the County of Kern.
