Document Description
CUP Application No. C-15-030 was field as an amendment to CUP App. No. C-14-174 by Cynthia Liles of Clements Environmental, on behalf of Dennis Balakian of West Coast Waste Company, Inc., and pertains to +/- 18 acres of property located on the south side of East North Avenue between State Highway 99 and South Golden State Blvd. West Coast Waste Co, Inc. (WC) was established in 2001 and granted a CUP for clean and green materials, wood waste, and wood chipping for recycling purposes. WCW took possession of the premises from its previous owner who separated the facility in a dangerous and inappropriate manner and was subject of a Cease and Desist Order. WCW immediately pursued their original CUP and began cleaning up the site. In 2004, WCW modified their original CUP to receive and process up to 500 tons per day of clean green materials and untreated wood products. They continued to clean up the discards from the previous owners while making other site operation improvements to continue diverting recyclable products from landfills.
WCW is now proposing to increase tonnage capacity from 500 tons per day to 1,500 TPD, material handlings, and site operations to being the next phase of their existing CUP and enhance overall recycling and organics handling operations. WCW proposed to install a composting system as part of their existing CUP and want to continue that development along with the installation of an anaerobic digester. Due to strict material load contamination rules, WCW is proposing to accept and process a variety of wastes to better comply with current and future regulations.
