TRAFFIC

• Inbound – 1,200 ton per day facility could mean 300 inbound trucks per day
• Outbound traffic – large tractor trailers. Could be 75+ outbound vehicles per day
• Over 650 truck trips (inbound and outbound)
• Impacts on Howell Township and Lakewood Township infrastructure – roads, bridges
• Will also attract traffic from outside of Monmouth County

NOISE

• Trucks – engines, braking, etc.
• Backup Alarms
• Heavy Equipment – loaders, etc.
• Dust collection equipment as required by NJDEP air permit
• Hours of operation?  Conformance with Howell Township noise ordinances

ODORS

STORMWATER/GROUNDWATER QUALITY

• Creation of leachate as rainwater comes in contact with refuse
• Diesel/Gasoline/Oil/Waste Oil/Antifreeze – impact on leaks

WATER/SEWER ISSUES

• Will the proposed facility rely on township water and sewer?  Is there sufficient capacity?
• If on septic and well, potential impact on surrounding neighbors

FIRE RISK

• Facilities such as this are a fire risk
• Will the facility have a sprinkler system?  If on well water, is there sufficient pressure?  Will a water tower have to be built?  Are there hydrants nearby?
• Nuisance vectors –facility will attract gulls, rodents, insects, etc.
• Monmouth County Solid Waste Management Plan is comprehensive and has no need for an additional facility of this nature
