EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Project seeking ALUC review proposes the annexation of a 2.87-acre parcel (APN 057-090-087), and the construction of a new Biomass Conversion Facility (BCF). The Project would increase permitted throughput at the existing Napa Recycling and Compost Facility to an average of 1,000 tons per day (1,500 tons peak) to meet new state regulatory demands. In addition, the Project proposes to use a portion of the parcel to the north located at 600 Tower Road (APN 057-110-025) for inert (concrete, dirt, and gravel) materials processing and storage.
