Resolution B approves the Mitigated Negative Declaration and Resolutions C, D and E approve agreements related to the construction and operation of a Mass Recovery and Compost Facility at the Water Pollution Control Plant to process municipal solid waste and sewage sludge into recyclable products and compost. The City Clerk noted a letter had been received from Mr. and Mrs. Dozier, 2152 West Avenue 136th, San Leandro. Bob Taylor, Public Works Services Director, said the proposal is for a Material Recovery Facility (MRF) at the end of Davis Street on the City's property at the Water Pollution Control Plant. He said the site is currently used for sludge-drying beds. He said the MRF process will take material directly out of the garbage trucks, and no separate collection will be necessary. He said the system will take the garbage and sort out inert materials; non-organics, such as rocks and glass; and inorganics; and will convert those materials into a compost or into fuel pellets. He said the first item on the Agenda is a Mitigated Negative Declaration. He said comments were received from three agencies and one individual , and the responses were included in the City Council 's packet. He said all environmental issues had been adequately considered and responses made to the written comments. He said he met with the homeowners association that sent one of the comments, and he believes he has adequately satisfied their concerns. He said one other letter was from the Alameda County Storm Water Management Agency, which just noted they had received it and that a Permit would be required. Mr. Taylor said the Agenda also included a Ground Lease Agreement with Bio- Mass Systems, Inc. He said Bio-Mass, which then used the name Scott/Newest, conducted a pilot demonstration a couple of years ago. He said the Ground Lease is for property the City would no longer need if this project is constructed. He said, for many years sludge has been air dried. He said this project would accept the sludge on a daily basis.
