According to protesters, the new transfer station will create <a href="http://sanetrash.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/Health-Report-FINAL-FINAL.pdf">negative health impacts</a> like increased asthma risks and other respiratory issues in addition to noise, odors, harm to the river and increased traffic in the neighborhood. Despite the city's refusal to stop the project, parents and concerned community groups are still battling the resurrected 1930s transfer station, which will be seeing 5,280 tons of garbage per day if all goes according to plan.
