AMENDMENT TO THE SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT PLAN FOR SANTA CLARA COUNTY, GROUP I WASTE
TRANSFER STATION
Refer to the Solid Waste Management Plan for Santa Clara County, December, 1975, as
amended; Chapter 2, Summary of the Plan, Chapter 11, Group I Waste Management Systems
Preface
In the time since the Countywide Plan was written, there has been a steady rate of
growth in the industrial community here. Based upon that growth, which is estimated
at approximately 7%, Group 1 waste quantities are estimated to have increased from
about 505,000 gallons per month of all types of Class 1 wastes in 1974, to about
547,000 gallons in 1977. With the passage of time it has become increasingly evident
that some expansion and diversification of the Group I waste management system, here,
is required in order to assure continued, reliable and economical removal and disposal
service,
Gimelli Bros. Class I Transfer Station
The Liquid Waste Division of Gimelli Bros, is a fully State licensed liquid waste
hauler who proposes to operate a Class I transfer station on their site at 326
Phelan Avenue, San Jose, The site is conveniently located with respect to surface
transportation throughout the County and the Bay Region, It is zoned for heavy
industrial use and the proponents are presently working towards City approvals for
the use and for improvements on the site.
Site facilities include two 30,000 gallon tanks, installed within a diked area,
designed for temporary storage of liquid wastes in transit to disposal or reclama-
tion. The site also provides outside storage for drums of liquid wastes. The
operating plan for the site provides for on -site storage of bulk liquids and full
drums pending accumulation of a full truckload for transfer to disposal. Ultimate
disposal of the materials which are accumulated at this location will be accomplished
either at the State licensed sites in the Bay Region, at the recently opened McKay
Trucking site at Kettleman Hills or other licensed and approved sites as the need
dictates.
Reliable, economical collection, transport and disposal of Group I wastes in this
County as well as a local, early response capability to chemical spills and
accidents are vital to continued physical and economic health and well being of
this County. This facility adds important capacity and capabilities to the
hazardous waste management system here,
