Although the proposed location for the transfer station is zoned for industrial uses, council members are concerned about possible groundwater contamination and the site’s close proximity to residential homes, retail stores and offices and a youth-oriented gymnastics facility.

The move reflects political and legal hurdles facing a proposed Petaluma recycling transfer station proposed by the new operator and comes as Santa Rosa weighs its options for a new garbage contract, one of the most lucrative services that local cities outsource.
The Windsor Council on Tuesday night voted 4-1 to reconsider the contract it awarded to Green Waste Recovery Inc., citing unresolved issues over the company’s proposed Petaluma transfer station, including its proximity to residences.
