El Dorado Disposal Recycling Facility CUP18-0006
CUP18-0006 – EL DORADO DISPOSAL RECYCLING FACILITY (El Dorado Investment Co, LLC/El Dorado Disposal): A Conditional Use Permit to request a temporary construction of debris and green waste processing facility. The property, identified by Assessor’s Parcel Numbers 117-020-08 and 117-020-09, consists of 97 acres, and is located on the end of Wetsel/Oviatt Road approximately 1.4 miles west of the intersection with Latrobe Road, in the El Dorado Hills area.
EDH APAC members had the following questions answered by El Dorado County Staff:
Q:) This CUP will handle the current load that is processed at the existing MRF on Throwita Way in Diamond Springs/El Dorado while it is being renovated and improved?
A:) Yes
Q:) Will this be open to the public, and to commercial haulers in the county?
A:) The Wetsel-Oviatt site will not be open to the public. The public will still bring materials to the Material Recovery Facility in Diamond Springs. The materials will be consolidated and hauled to the Wetsel-Oviatt site. The Wetsel-Oviatt site will only accept materials from El Dorado Disposal (EDD) commercial trucks.
Q: Additionally, in regards to traffic impacts, will the facility be open for use from sources in the Folsom Ranch development in the city of Folsom, or even use from residents in Folsom?
A:) No, EDD trucks servicing El Dorado County only will access the site.

NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING – November 8, 2018 8:AM El Dorado County Planning Commission:
From the Proposed Mitigated Negative Declaration and Initial Study_Staff Report Exhibit H (CUP18-0006) Ditches and berms exist on‐site that direct some run‐on stormwater around the site and into an existing stormwater basin. Minor grading and culvert installation would occur to create drainage Temporary Off‐site Facility—Trip Generation 1.5 ‐ Required Discretionary Approvals As previously indicated, the MRF operates under an existing special use permit. Because this project is primarily a renovation of existing operations, the existing special use permit would be revised via an updated Conditional Use Permit. As part of the revision, the total allowable daily tonnage would no longer be split up into waste types, but instead simplified to 700 tpd maximum. This maximum tpd is consistent with the existing permit, but allows for more flexibility in the amount of each waste type received. Actual waste processed at the site is not expected to change as a result of the renovation or update to the Special Use Permit.

swales to route all stormwater run‐on around the facility and stormwater runoff into a proposed stormwater basin. Minor grading would also occur to construct a level pad for the C&D sorting line.
Overall, temporary site construction activity would consist of minor grading to construct a level pad and drainage swales, excavating a stormwater detention basin, construction of a temporary concrete pad, installation of temporary trailer/office, portable toilets, and temporary power, and paving portions of the site. Construction activity is expected to last 20 working days. The temporary site would require approximately 700 cy of soil fill and 3,000 cy of soil cut. The excess soil quantities would be stockpiled on‐site. Construction of the temporary site is expected to take approximately 20 workdays.
C&D debris and green/wood waste delivered to the MRF by the public would be transferred to this site. The temporary site would utilize existing access provided by Wetsel‐Oviatt Road. No paving or other improvements to this road are planned. Franchise greenwaste truckloads (route trucks) and separated C&D debris commercial truckloads would be diverted from the MRF and delivered directly to the site. Based on information provided by the Draft Joint Technical Document Containing Facility Plan for C&D Recycling Operations Plan for Green/Wood Waste Processing by Lawrence & Associates (Appendix I), it is anticipated that the temporary site would incur an average of 55 daily two‐way traffic trips. Of these, approximately 49 trips are trips diverted from the existing site to the temporary site. Of these diverted trips, approximately 29 trips would consist of greenwaste and C&D waste truck trips and the remaining 20 trips would consist of employee and visitor trips. The remaining 6 two‐way trips would be new and consist of maintenance and fueling truck trips and water truck trips. The greenwaste and C&D waste truck trips consist of set routes to the MRF facility. As a result of the diversion of the truck trips to the temporary site, some greenwaste and C&D waste truck trip routes would result in a reduction in total vehicle miles traveled (VMT), while other trip routes would result in an increase in total VMT. Based on information provided by the applicant, the net increase of total VMT for the diverted truck trips would result in an additional 1,504 miles per year. The new maintenance and fueling truck trip lengths are based on the Draft Joint Technical Document Containing Facility Plan for C&D Recycling Operations Plan for Green/Wood Waste Processing by Lawrence & Associates (Appendix I). The total trip lengths for employees and visitors are based on the CalEEMod default trip lengths for general industrial projects.
The proposed project would require the following discretionary approvals:
Conditional Use Permit Update (Existing Site)—El Dorado County
Conditional Use Permit (Temporary Site)—El Dorado County
Extension of sewer facilities—El Dorado Irrigation District
Right‐of‐Way Abandonment—El Dorado County Department of Transportation
