EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Authority (NVWMA) currently conducts processing of construction and demolition debris (C&D) to recover recyclable materials at an outdoor location at the Devlin Road Transfer Station (DRTS). For several years, the Authority has recognized the benefits of moving this operation to an indoor location, such as improving employee and public safety, improving site traffic flow, reducing windblown dust, removing more pollutants from stormwater runoff, and enhancing the overall aesthetics of the operation. However, due to limitations in the size of the site and funding constraints, a suitable location for a C&D processing building was not available on the existing site.
In 2017, the Authority purchased a 15.6-acre parcel of property adjoining the southern boundary of the current transfer station site. Purchase of this additional acreage provided an ideal location for a C&D building as well as adding buffer between DRTS and surrounding businesses. In 2018, an engineering feasibility study prepared for the NVWMA by J.R. Miller and Associates provided additional design details for a 131,000 square foot C&D building on the newly acquired site.
The former owner of the parcel purchased by the Authority, Napa Airport Corporate Center (NACC), had included the parcel in a larger development project and a 254,000 square foot industrial/warehouse building was proposed for the site.
